Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine that can variably display special identification information and can be controlled in an advantageous state for a player.

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

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

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

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

In such a gaming machine, for example, Patent Literature 1 describes that either battle reach or story reach can be executed after decoration identification information is set to reach mode.

JP 2017-47092 A

However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Literature 1, there is room for improvement in how to present an effect that can be executed after setting the decoration identification information to the ready-to-win mode, and it is not possible to sufficiently increase the amusement of the game.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a game machine capable of improving the amusement of a game.

A gaming machine according to the present invention performs variable display of special identification information (e.g., special symbols) and is controllable to an advantageous state (e.g., jackpot gaming state) advantageous to a player, comprising display means; an effect executing means capable of executing a special advance notice effect (e.g., special notice effect) suggesting that the display means is controlled in an advantageous state; and a glass image 004IWG05) and a second effect part (for example, a part in which the spear image 004IWG04 disappears and the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is continuously displayed). In the part, it is possible to display a first special display (for example, spear image 004IWG04) and a second special display (for example, unbroken glass image 004IWG05b), and in the first production part, it is possible to display the second special display. Along with this, it is possible to display a special related display (for example, glass fragment image 004IWG05a) imitating at least part of the second special display, and hide the first special display in the second effect part. , the second special display can be continuously displayed (for example, parts corresponding to FIGS. 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (9)), and in the second production part, the second production part ends The special related display can be displayed at the timing of (for example, the portion corresponding to (10) in FIG. 8-36), and the displayed special related display is different between the first production part and the second production part ( For example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (4) and the part corresponding to FIG. It is possible to control the light emission of the light emitting means (for example, the game effect lamp 9 and decorative light emitters such as decorative LEDs) in different light emission modes depending on when the display is displayed (for example, FIG. 8-35 (4 ) and a portion corresponding to (10) in Fig. 8-36 (see *1 and *2 in Fig. 8-6(B)).
According to such a configuration, the effect of the special notice effect is enhanced by the special relation display, and furthermore, the light emission mode when the special relation display is displayed in the first effect part and the second effect part of the special notice effect. , the amusement in the game can be enhanced.

(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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Overview of Game Progress)
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's 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 a game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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. 3 is a flowchart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main substrate 11. As shown in FIG.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Major operations of production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated, and the effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 is executed. When the production control main 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 ON every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeated and waits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Description of Characteristic Portion 004IW)
Next, the characterizing portion 004IW of this embodiment will be described.

(Variation pattern table)
8-1 and 8-2 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the variation pattern table in the characteristic part 004IW. Among them, FIG. 8-1(A) shows a specific example of the fluctuation pattern table for loss used in the low probability state. Also, FIG. 8-1(B) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for big wins used in the low probability state. Also, FIG. 8-2(A) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for losing used in a high probability state. Also, FIG. 8-2(B) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for big wins used in the high probability state. Also, FIG. 8-1(C) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for big wins.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1 (A), in the case of deviation in the low probability state, the variation pattern PA1-1 (normal variation), the variation pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation), the variation pattern PA2 -1 (normal reach), fluctuation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), fluctuation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach), fluctuation pattern PA2-4 (development notice + super reach A), fluctuation pattern PA2-5 (development Notice + special notice + super reach A), fluctuation pattern PA2-6 (development notice + special notice + super reach A), fluctuation pattern PA2-7 (development notice + super reach B), fluctuation pattern PA2-8 (development notice + Special notice + super reach B), fluctuation pattern PA2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B), fluctuation pattern PA2-10 (development notice + super reach C), fluctuation pattern PA2-11 (development notice + special notice + super reach C) and the fluctuation pattern PA2-12 (development notice + special notice + super reach C).

Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1 (B), in the case of a big hit in the low probability state, the variation pattern PB2-1 (normal reach), the variation pattern PB2-2 (long reach), the variation pattern PB2 -3 (special notice + long reach), fluctuation pattern PB2-4 (development notice + super reach A), fluctuation pattern PB2-5 (development notice + special notice + super reach A), fluctuation pattern PB2-6 (development notice + Special notice + super reach A), fluctuation pattern PB2-7 (development notice + super reach B), fluctuation pattern PB2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B), fluctuation pattern PB2-9 (development notice + special notice + Super reach B), fluctuation pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C), fluctuation pattern PB2-11 (development notice + special notice + super reach C) and fluctuation pattern PB2-12 (development notice + special notice + super It is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns of reach C).

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1, a plurality of types of ready-to-win effects can be executed, and the degree of expectation for a big hit increases in the order of normal reach<long reach<super reach A<super reach B<super reach C. It is configured. Further, when super reach is executed, the development notice effect is executed at a high rate (100% in the example shown in FIG. 8-1, but may be less than 100%). ing. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the advance notice effect is executed, that is, whether or not the game develops into a highly anticipated super reach.

Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1, prior to long reach and super reach A to C, either the special notice effect or the special notice effect is executed, and neither is executed. , and when either the special notice effect or the special notice effect is executed (especially when the special notice effect is executed rather than the special notice effect), the expectation of the big hit is higher. there is With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to whether or not one of the special advance notice effect and the special notice effect is executed, and which one is executed.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (A), in the case of deviation in the high probability state, the variation pattern PA1-1 (normal variation), the variation pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation), the variation pattern PA2 -1 (normal reach), fluctuation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), fluctuation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach) and fluctuation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D) are determined as one of the fluctuation patterns.

Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (B), in the case of a big hit in the high probability state, the variation pattern PB2-1 (normal reach), the variation pattern PB2-2 (long reach), the variation pattern PB2 -3 (special notice + long reach) and fluctuation pattern PB2-13 (super reach D) is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2, the types of super reach that can be executed are different between the low probability state and the high probability state. With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the interest in the game by providing variations in the presentation of the performance between the low-probability state and the high-probability state.

In this example, only the super reach D is configured to be executable as the super reach in the high-probability state. Also, in the high-probability state, as in the low-probability state, it may be possible to execute developmental notice effects, special notice effects, and special notice effects, and in the high-probability state, shortened or simplified development notice effects and special notices. A production and a special advance notice production may be made executable.

In this example, super reach A, super reach B and super reach C have a common variable time (that is, performance time), but this is not limited to such a configuration, and the variable time (that is, performance time) may be different.

Further, not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2, for example, a variation pattern is provided in which the ready-to-win effect is executed after the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once or more times, and the number of times of the pseudo-continuous effect is Depending on this, the degree of expectation for a big hit or the rate of development to a super reach with a high degree of expectation may be different.

(Execution timing of each production during reach)
Next, the execution timing of each effect during reach will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-3 to 8-6. FIG. 8-3 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of effects when super reach A to D are executed and a big win is achieved. FIG. 8-4 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of effects when Super Reach A to D are executed and lose. FIG. 8-5 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of effects when long reach is executed. FIG. 8-6 is a timing chart showing execution timings of effects when the advanced notice effect and the special notice effect, and the expanded notice effect and the special notice effect are executed.

The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(A) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of advanced notice effect and super reach A in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-11 which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-3(A), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win state, a normal ready-to-reach effect is executed in which the middle decorative patterns are scrolled at a low speed. is started (the portion corresponding to (4) in FIG. 8-7). In the development notice effect, for example, after the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 appear and the character display of "development" is displayed, the first mini-character 004IWC03 is displayed to increase and decrease, and then super reach. is suggested to be started. When the advance notice effect ends, Super Reach A starts (the portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-8). Super Reach A, which will be a big hit, includes the first part (part corresponding to Figure 8-8 (9) to (16)) including the introduction part and the fanning part, and the second part including the final fanning part and the win/fail notification part ( 8-9 (17) to 8-11 (31)). When it is reported that the success/failure notification section of Super Reach A will result in a big hit (for example, when the image display device 5 changes from a cracked middle decoration pattern to a normal pattern and the jackpot pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed), Light emission control is performed such that the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit light in rainbow colors. For example, at the timing of *1 shown in FIG. After that, the super reach A is finished, the image display device 5 is whited out, and the jackpot symbols are stopped and displayed.

Super Reach B, which will be a big hit, includes the first part (part corresponding to Figure 8-14 (9) to (16)) including the introduction part and the fanning part, and the second part including the final fanning part and the winner notification part ( 8-15 (17) to 8-17 (32)). When it is reported that the success/failure notification section of Super Reach B will result in a big hit (for example, when the middle decoration pattern changes from a cracked pattern to a destroyed pattern on the image display device 5, and the jackpot pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed. ), light emission control is performed such that decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit light in rainbow colors. For example, at timing *1 shown in FIG. After that, the super reach B is finished, the image display device 5 is whited out, and the jackpot symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-3(C) shows a timing chart when an effect is executed based on the variation pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C) big hit. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(C) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of advanced notice effect and super reach C shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-23 which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-3(C), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win state, a normal ready-to-reach effect is executed in which the middle decorative patterns are scrolled at a low speed. is started (the portion corresponding to (4) in FIG. 8-19). When the advance notice effect ends, Super Reach C starts (portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-20). Super Reach C, which will be a big hit, includes the first part (part corresponding to Figure 8-20 (9) to (16)) including the introduction part and the fanning part, and the second part including the final fanning part and the win/fail notification part ( 8-21 (17) to 8-23 (36)). When the hit/fail notification section of Super Reach C notifies that a big hit will occur (for example, when the image display device 5 displays the characters "Completely Finished", or the middle decoration pattern and the jackpot pattern that are a combination of the big hits, is temporarily stopped and displayed. ), light emission control is performed such that decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit light in rainbow colors. For example, at the timing of *1 shown in FIG. 8-3(C), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits rainbow colors. After that, the super reach C is finished, the image display device 5 is whited out, and the jackpot symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-3(D) shows a timing chart when an effect is executed based on the variation pattern PB2-13 (super reach D) big hit. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(D) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach D in FIGS. 8-25 to 8-27, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-3 (D), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win state, a normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the middle decorative pattern is scrolled at a low speed, and then super ready-to-win D is started (FIG. 8-25). The part corresponding to (4)). Super Reach D, which is a big hit, is a decision button effect (part corresponding to Figure 8-25 (8) to Figure 8-26 (10)) and a movable body effect (Figure 8-27 (11) to (13) corresponding part). When it is notified that the super reach D will result in a big win (for example, when the big win pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed on the image display device 5), the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative luminous bodies such as the decorative LED emit light in rainbow colors. Light emission control is performed. For example, at the timing *1 shown in FIG. After that, the super reach D is finished and the big winning symbols are stopped and displayed.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-3, in all of Super Reach A, Super Reach B, Super Reach C and Super Reach D, a common light emission mode (i.e., a rainbow-colored light emission pattern) ) controls the light emission of the decorative light emitter. With such a configuration, while increasing the enjoyment of the game by making the super reach A, the super reach B, the super reach C and the super reach D different from each other, the increase in the amount of control data is suppressed by sharing the light emission control. be able to. Also, it is possible to appropriately notify that a big hit will occur.

Further, in this example, the light emission control of the decorative light emitters is performed in a common light emission mode (i.e., a pattern that emits light in rainbow colors) regardless of which type of jackpot combination, the combination of odd-numbered patterns or the combination of even-numbered patterns, is achieved. will be Furthermore, even with the same odd numbered patterns, for example, a combination of "1" and a combination of "3", even when any of the odd numbered patterns becomes a jackpot combination, decoration is performed with a common light emission mode (that is, a pattern that emits light in rainbow colors). Light emission control of the light emitter is performed. In addition, even with the same even numbered patterns, for example, a combination of "2" and a combination of "4", even when any of the even numbered patterns become a big hit combination, the decoration is decorated with a common light emission mode (i.e., a pattern that emits light in rainbow colors). Light emission control of the light emitter is performed. With such a configuration, the light emission control during super reach can be shared, and an increase in the amount of control data can be suppressed. In addition, in the description of this characteristic part 004IW, the expression of the type of decoration pattern may be used, but this is not limited to those classified by odd number patterns and even number patterns. It is also classified by different numbers such as "3".

FIG. 8-4(A) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-4 (prediction of development + super reach A). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(A) corresponds to FIGS. 8-7 to 8-9 and 8-12, which will be described later, which are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of advanced notice effect and super reach A.

When the advance notice effect ends, Super Reach A starts (the portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-8). Super Reach A, which is to be missed, includes the first part (part corresponding to Figure 8-8 (9) to (16)) including the introduction part and the fanning part, and the second part including the final fanning part and the win/fail notification part ( 8-9 (17) to (22) and FIG. 8-12 (34) to (37)). When it is notified that the success/failure notification section of Super Reach A is lost (for example, when the image display device 5 changes from a cracked state to a destroyed state and the lost design is temporarily stopped) ), light emission control is performed such that the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit low-brightness white light (portion corresponding to (37) in FIG. 8-12). For example, at the timing of *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(A), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits low-luminance white light. After that, Super Reach A is finished, the image display device 5 is blacked out, and the missing symbols are stopped and displayed.

When the advance notice effect ends, Super Reach B starts (portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-14). Super Reach B, which will be out, is the first part (part corresponding to Figure 8-14 (9) to (16)) including the introduction part and the fanning part, and the second part including the final fanning part and the win/fail notification part ( 8-15 (17) to (23) and FIG. 8-18 (35) to (38)). When it is notified that it will be lost in the success/failure notification section of Super Reach B (for example, when the image display device 5 changes from the mode in which the middle decoration pattern is cracked to the normal mode and the lost pattern is temporarily stopped), Light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit low-brightness white light (portion corresponding to (38) in FIG. 8-18). For example, at the timing of *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(B), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits low-luminance white light. After that, Super Reach B is finished, the image display device 5 is blacked out, and the lost symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-4(C) shows a timing chart when the effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-10 (prediction of development + super reach C). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(C) corresponds to FIGS. 8-19 to 8-21 and 8-24, which will be described later, showing specific examples of advanced notice effect and super reach C. FIG.

The Super Reach C, which is to be missed, includes the first part (part corresponding to Figure 8-20 (9) to (16)) including the introduction part and the fanning part, and the second part including the final fanning part and the win/fail notification part ( 8-21 (17) to (24) and FIG. 8-24 (39) to (42)). When it is reported that the success/failure notification section of Super Reach C will fail (for example, when the third enemy character 004IWC13 is displayed with joy on the image display device 5, or when a center decoration design that results in a winning combination is displayed), Light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED emit low-brightness white light (portion corresponding to (42) in FIG. 8-24). For example, at the timing of *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(C), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits low-luminance white light. After that, Super Reach C is finished, the image display device 5 is blacked out, and the lost symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-4(D) shows a timing chart when an effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(D) corresponds to explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach D in FIGS. 8-25 to 8-26 and 8-28, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-4 (D), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win state, a normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the middle decorative pattern is scrolled at a low speed, and then super ready-to-win D is started (FIG. 8-25). The part corresponding to (4)). Super Reach D to be lost includes the decision button effect (portions corresponding to FIGS. 8-25 (8) to 8-26 (10)). When it is notified that the super reach D will be lost (for example, when the image display device 5 displays a middle decoration pattern that is a lost combination), the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED are reduced in brightness. is controlled to emit white light (portion corresponding to (19) in FIG. 8-28). For example, at the timing of *2 shown in FIG. 8-4(D), light emission control is performed so that the decorative light emitter emits low-luminance white light. After that, the super reach D is finished, the image display device 5 is blacked out, and the lost symbols are stopped and displayed.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-4, in any of Super Reach A, Super Reach B, Super Reach C and Super Reach D, a common light emission mode (i.e., low luminance white light) Light emission control of the decoration light emitter is performed by the pattern to be used). With such a configuration, while increasing the enjoyment of the game by making the super reach A, the super reach B, the super reach C and the super reach D different from each other, the increase in the amount of control data is suppressed by sharing the light emission control. be able to. In addition, it is possible to appropriately notify that it has become detached.

FIG. 8-5(A) shows a timing chart when an effect is executed based on deviation of the variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(A) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of long reach in FIG. 8-29 which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-5(A), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-reach state, the normal ready-to-reach effect is executed in which the middle decorative patterns are scrolled at a low speed, and then the image display device 5 whites out, and the long reach state is achieved. is started (the portion corresponding to (4) in FIG. 8-29). When it is notified that the long reach will be lost (for example, when the image display device 5 performs a performance display in which the middle decoration symbol that is a big hit combination or the image suggesting that it will develop into a super reach is not selected), the long reach is performed. When the ready-to-win is completed, the image display device 5 is blacked out, and the lost symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-5(B) shows a timing chart when an effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice+long reach). The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(B) corresponds to FIGS. 8-30 to 8-31, which will be described later, showing specific examples of the special advance notice effect and long reach.

As shown in FIG. 8-5(B), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win state, a normal ready-to-reach effect is executed in which the center decorative patterns are scrolled at a low speed, and then a special notice effect is executed (FIG. 8-30). The part corresponding to (3)). In the special notice effect, for example, a effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 and the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed in the corner of the screen. Then, the long reach is started (portion corresponding to (8) in FIG. 8-30), but the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is continuously displayed. After that, when it is notified that the long reach will be lost (for example, when the image display device 5 performs a performance display in which the middle decoration symbol that is a big hit combination or the image suggesting that it will develop into a super reach is not selected), After the long reach is completed, the image display device 5 is blacked out, and the lost symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 8-5(C) shows a timing chart in which an effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach) and a back button effect is executed during long reach. there is The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(B) corresponds to an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the back button effect when the special notice effect and long reach are executed in FIG. 8-32 which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 8-5(C), when the left and right decorative symbols are in the ready-to-win state, the normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the middle decorative symbols are scrolled at a low speed, and then the special notice effect is executed. When the long reach is started after the special notice effect (portion corresponding to (1) in FIG. 8-32), the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is continuously displayed. Here, when the push button 31B is pressed, an effect display is performed in which the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b drops and is erased along with the back button effect (portion corresponding to FIG. 8-32 (3)).

It should be noted that the back button effect means that among the so-called button effects that are executed based on the detection of the operation of the button during the operation valid period, the notification and operation prompting the player to operate the button etc. are effective. It is not accompanied by a notification indicating Therefore, by providing the back button effect, it is possible to provide a way of enjoying that the operation effective period is found and executed.

In FIG. 8-6 (A), production is performed based on the variation pattern PA2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) and variation pattern PB2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B). A timing chart is shown for the case of The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(A) corresponds to FIGS. 8-33 to 8-34, which will be described later, and is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of execution of the advanced notice effect and the special notice effect.

As shown in FIG. 8-6(A), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win state, the image display device 5 is white-out after the normal ready-to-reach effect in which the middle decorative pattern is scrolled at a low speed is executed, and the development notice effect is performed. (the portion corresponding to (1) in FIG. 8-33). When the advanced notice effect is completed, the special notice effect is executed (the portion corresponding to (4) in FIG. 8-33). In the special announcement effect, for example, after the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 are displayed, the second mini-character 004IWC04 is displayed to increase and decrease, suggesting that Super Reach will start. After that, Super Reach B starts (the portion corresponding to (9) in FIG. 8-33), and the second mini-character 004IWC04 continues to be displayed for a predetermined period after Super Reach B starts.

In FIG. 8-6 (B), production is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) and variation pattern PB2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B). A timing chart is shown for the case of The timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(B) corresponds to FIGS. 8-35 to 8-36, which will be described later, and is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of execution of the advanced notice effect and the special notice effect.

As shown in FIG. 8-6(B), when the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win state, the image display device 5 is white-out after the normal ready-to-reach effect in which the middle decorative pattern is scrolled at a low speed is executed, and the development notice effect is performed. is started (the portion corresponding to (1) in FIG. 8-35). Then, before the developmental announcement effect ends (during the developmental announcement effect), the special announcement effect is started (the portion corresponding to (2) in FIG. 8-35). In the special notice effect, for example, a effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 and the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed in the corner of the screen. Then, the super reach is started (the portion corresponding to (7) in FIG. 8-35), but the display of the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b continues for a predetermined period even after the start of the super reach.

In this example, the special notice effect includes the first part (for example, the part where the spear image 004IWG04 and the glass image 004IWG05 in FIGS. 8-35 (2) to (6) are displayed) and the second part (for example, FIG. -35 (7) to FIG. 8-36 (10) The spear image 004IWG04 disappears and the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is continuously displayed). Although there is a scene where the fragment image 004IWG05a is displayed, the light emission control of the decorative light emitter is performed with a different light emission pattern. For example, when the glass fragment image 004IWG05a is displayed in the first part (the timing of *1 shown in FIG. 8-6(B)), the light emission is controlled by the light emission pattern for the special notice effect, and the second part is displayed. When the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed in the part (the timing of *2 shown in FIG. 8-6(B)), light emission control is performed according to the light emission pattern for super reach. When light emission control is performed according to the light emission pattern for the special notice effect, for example, in the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-30 (4) to (5) and FIGS. 8-30 (6) and 8-35 (5) in the scene shown in Figure 8-30 (6) and Figure 8-35 (5), the decorative luminous body is turned off and shown in Figure 8-30 (7) and Figure 8-35 (6) In the scene, control is performed so that the decorative light emitter flashes white with high brightness at high speed. Further, when light emission control is performed by the light emission pattern for super reach, for example, in the scenes shown in FIGS. In the scenes shown in 8-35 (10) to (11), control is performed so that the decoration light emitter emits light in a color corresponding to the character. In addition, when the long reach is executed following the special notice effect shown in FIG. 8-30, for example, in the scenes shown in FIGS. Control is performed to emit light in the corresponding color. With such a configuration, the display of the broken glass image 004IWG05a enhances the effect of the special notice effect, and furthermore, in the first part and the second part of the special notice effect, when the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed. By varying the light emission pattern, it is possible to increase the interest in the game.

(Production example)
Next, specific examples of each ready-to-win effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-7 to 8-36. It is assumed that the screen transitions in the ascending order of (1), (2), and (3) in any of the figures.

(Super Reach A)
FIGS. 8-7 to 8-12 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of advanced notice effect and super reach A. FIG. 8-7 to 8-11 of FIGS. 8-7 to 12 are specific examples of the case where the production is executed based on the variation pattern PB2-4 (development notice + super reach A) jackpot. This corresponds to the timing chart shown in 8-3(A). 8-7 to 8-9 and 8-12 of FIG. 8-7 to FIG. 12 show specific cases where production is performed based on deviation of variation pattern PA2-4 (prediction of development + super reach A) This is an example and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(A).

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-12, after the lost pattern (“327”) is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-7 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-4 (development notice + super reach A) Big hit or fluctuation pattern PA2-4 (development notice + super reach A) starts a fluctuation display based on the loss (FIG. 8-7 (2)).

Next, when the left and right decorative patterns are "1" and the ready-to-win state is reached (FIG. 8-7 (3)), the normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the middle decorative patterns are scrolled at a low speed, and then the image display device 5 whites out. , the advance notice effect is started (FIG. 8-7 (4)).

In the advance notice effect, the first teammate character 004IWC01 first appears (Fig. 8-7 (4)), followed by a effect display in which the second teammate character 004IWC02 appears (Fig. 8-7 (5)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the character display of "development" is superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-7 (6)). Next, the first mini-character 004IWC03 is superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01, the second ally character 004IWC02, and the character display of "development", and is displayed so as to proliferate (Fig. 8-7 (7)). 1 mini-character 004IWC03 is displayed so as to fill the screen (FIG. 8-7 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach A starts, the multiplied first mini-character 004IWC03 gradually disappears (Fig. 8-8 (9)), and eventually all the first mini-characters 004IWC03 disappear ( Figure 8-8 (10)). With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress a sense of incongruity at the time of switching from the video of the advance notice effect to the video of the super ready-to-win, and to naturally show the series of flow from the advance notice effect to the super ready-to-win.

Next, a performance display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12 lands on the ground (FIG. 8-8 (11)), and the upper body of the first enemy character 004IWC12 is enlarged and displayed corresponding to the first enemy character 004IWC12. A background image of concentric circles is displayed (FIG. 8-8 (12)).

Next, the first ally character 004IWC01 and the first enemy character 004IWC12 face each other, and "VS" is displayed to suggest that a battle is about to start (FIG. 8-8 (13)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the first ally character 004IWC01 attacks the first enemy character 004IWC12 (specifically, light rays are output from the eyes) (FIG. 8-8 (14)). At this time, the first enemy character 004IWC12 is in a state where it uses the center decoration symbol "9" (or the symbol image corresponding to the center decoration symbol "9") as a shield to prevent attacks (FIG. 8-8 (14)). .

In this example, the decorative patterns are displayed in the order of ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', ``4'', ``5'', ``6'', ``7'', ``8'', and ``9''. shall be displayed in order. In the example shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-12, since the left and right decorative patterns are "1" and it is in the reach mode, the middle decorative pattern "9" displayed in FIG. 8-8 (14) is This is the middle decoration pattern displayed immediately before the middle decoration pattern "1" which is the combination "111" of the jackpot patterns.

Next, an attack (specifically, light beams emitted from the eyes) from the first ally character 004IWC01 to the first enemy character 004IWC12 penetrates the center decoration symbol "9" serving as a shield, and the first enemy character 004IWC12 A production display that damages is performed. At this time, the center decoration pattern "9" is destroyed (Fig. 8-8 (15)). Then, the first enemy character 004IWC12 with an angry expression is displayed, and a concentric background image corresponding to the first enemy character 004IWC12 is displayed (FIG. 8-8 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12 starts attacking the first ally character 004IWC01 (specifically, ramming) (FIG. 8-9 (17)). Then, an effect display is performed in which the center decoration pattern "1" appears in front of the first ally character 004IWC01 (FIG. 8-9 (18)). The center decoration pattern "1" serves as a shield that prevents the first enemy character 004IWC12 from attacking the first friend character 004IWC01. body-hitting) is performed (FIG. 8-9 (19)).

In addition, the center decoration symbol "1" displayed in FIG. 8-9 (18) is a center decoration symbol that is a combination of the jackpot symbols "111". Therefore, if the center decoration symbol "1" displayed in FIG. 8-9 (18) is protected without being destroyed, in other words, if it is destroyed and the next center decoration symbol "2" is not displayed, the big win is achieved. will be notified.

When the attack by the first enemy character 004IWC12 reaches the middle decoration symbol "1" (specifically, it hits the body), the middle decoration symbol "1" becomes cracked (Fig. 8-9 (19) ), and further cracked (Fig. 8-9 (20)).

Details of FIG. 8-9(20) will now be described with reference to FIG. 8-37. FIG. 8-37 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a change in the decoration pattern in Super Reach A. FIG. At the timing of FIG. 8-9 (20), as shown in FIG. 8-37, fragment images 004IWG01a of a plurality of center decoration patterns are displayed around the cracked center decoration pattern "1". In addition, the fragment images 004IWG01a of each center decoration pattern are different in appearance (for example, the color, shape, number, and scattering of the fragments are different), and are three-dimensionally displayed, and appear to pop out of the screen. is displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

As shown in Fig. 8-9 (20), when the middle decoration pattern "1" is cracked, the effect image that was displayed immediately before is displayed with reduced brightness and saturation, and A cut-in effect is executed in which images (with normal or high brightness and saturation) depicting the character 004IWC01 and a plurality of first mini-characters 004IWC03 are superimposed and displayed (Fig. 8-9 (21)). . When the image displayed by the cut-in effect is erased, the effect display similar to that immediately before the cut-in effect ((20) in FIG. 8-9) is performed again ((22) in FIG. 8-9).

Then, the effect display shown in FIG. 8-9 (22) is continued for 3 seconds (at a slower speed than immediately before the cut-in effect (FIG. 8-9 (20))). At this time, a slow-motion effect is executed in which the progress speed of the effect changes from the normal speed to a speed slower than the normal speed. Specifically, an effect display is performed in which the moving speed of the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration design displayed in stereoscopic view and the character is slowed down. In addition, while the movement speed of the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration pattern and the character slows down due to the slow motion effect, the swing movement speed of the reach mode decoration pattern displayed on the upper right of the screen and the movement (rotation etc.) speed of the active display It does not slow down (that is, it does not become the target of slow motion effects). This slow-motion effect corresponds to the final stage of the Super Reach, and by reducing the speed of progress of the effect, attention is paid to how the effect progresses, that is, whether it progresses to the effect of announcing a big hit. be able to.

In the case of the variation pattern PB2-4 (development notice + super reach A) big hit, the attack from the first enemy character 004IWC12 to the first ally character 004IWC01 fails after FIG. 8-10 (23). Also, an effect display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12, whose attack failed, sheds tears of frustration. In this example, the light emission control for the decorative light emitter to emit rainbow colors is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-10 (23). For example, in the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-10 (23) and (29), the decorative light emitter flashes in rainbow colors at high speed, and FIGS. ) to the scene shown in FIG. 8-11 (33), control is performed so that the decorative light emitter slowly emits light in rainbow colors.

Next, the center decoration pattern "1", which has changed from the cracked state to the normal state without being destroyed, is displayed facing the front, and the joyful first ally character 004IWC01 is displayed (FIG. 8-10 (24). ). Next, a light effect image is displayed (FIG. 8-10 (25)) superimposed on the immediately preceding effect display (FIG. 8-10 (24)) including the first friend character 004IWC01 and the first enemy character 004IWC12. is enlarged to cover the first friend character 004IWC01 and the first enemy character 004IWC12 (FIG. 8-10 (26)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transmissive, the hidden first friend character 004IWC01 and first enemy character 004IWC12 cannot be visually recognized.

Next, after the light effect image covers the entire screen, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "111" including the center decoration symbol "1" that has changed again to the normal mode appears (FIG. 8-10 (27)). . Then, the jackpot symbol "111" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-10 (28)), and is enlarged and displayed so as to cover the entire screen (FIG. 8-10 (29)). After that, the jackpot symbol "111" is displayed in the same size as when normal variation was performed before establishment of ready-to-win, and is displayed so as to sway four times (FIG. 8-10 (30)). In this example, according to the type of super ready-to-win and the game state, the number of times the decorative symbols sway when the display result of the variable display is displayed is different. For example, in the low-probability state, by increasing the number of swings for a reach with a higher degree of expectation for a big hit, a reverberation corresponding to the degree of expectation is given at the end of the reach. When Super Reach C with a high degree of expectation for a big hit is executed in a low-probability state but is lost, if the screen immediately shifts to the normal background, the player will be stressed. It is possible to suppress the decline in the player's interest in the game by giving the game a lingering effect. In addition, in a high-probability state, taking into account the player's desire to immediately face the big win game (or the next game), the number of times the ornamental pattern swings at the end of the ready-to-win game is reduced, thereby increasing the amusement of the game. can be done.

Next, a performance display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "111" is temporarily hidden and the character display of "Completely settled" is displayed (FIG. 8-11 (31)). Then, the image display device 5 whites out, the super ready-to-win A is finished, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation before the establishment of the ready-to-win is performed is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "111" is temporarily stopped and displayed. (Fig. 8-11 (32)). After that, the jackpot symbol "111" is stop-displayed (FIG. 8-11 (33)).

If the variation pattern PA2-4 (prediction of development + super reach A) is missed, the attack from the first enemy character 004IWC12 to the first ally character 004IWC01 becomes effective after (22) in FIG. An effect display is performed in which the middle decoration symbol “1” that was being used is destroyed (FIG. 8-12 (34)). Also, an effect display is performed in which the attacked first ally character 004IWC01 is blown away. In this example, light emission control is started from the scene shown in FIG.

Next, the first enemy character 004IWC12 in the front double bicep pose is enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-12 (35)), and the center decoration pattern "1" is displayed superimposed on the first enemy character 004IWC12 (FIG. 8- 12(36)). Then, after the center decoration symbol "1", which is a lost combination, is displayed so as to sway four times, the image display device 5 blacks out ((37) in FIG. 8-12), and Super Reach A ends.

When super reach A ends, the same background image as when the normal variation was performed before the establishment of reach reach is displayed, and the lost symbol "121" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Fig. 8-12 (38)). . After that, the lost symbol "121" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-12 (39)).

In this example, the mode of the middle decoration pattern is a normal mode, a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode (see FIG. 8-12 (34)), and a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode. There is a cracked state (see FIG. 8-9 (20)) which is a state before changing to a state, and a super reach effect display (for example, an attack from an ally character to an enemy character or from an enemy character to an ally character). attack, etc.). Then, in Super Reach A, when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then changes to the normal mode again, the big hit pattern is displayed (for example, FIGS. 8-9 (22) to 8- 10 (the part corresponding to 30)). With such a configuration, by changing the form of the middle decoration pattern corresponding to the effect display of super reach A, the presence of the effect can be enhanced, and the game interest can be improved.

(Super Reach B)
FIGS. 8-13 to 8-18 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of advanced notice effect and super reach B. FIG. Figures 8-13 to 8-17 of Figures 8-13 to 8-18 are specific examples of the case where the production is executed based on the variation pattern PB2-7 (development notice + super reach B) big hit. , corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(B). Figures 8-13 to 8-15 and Figure 8-18 of Figures 8-13 to 8-18 show the variation pattern PA2-7 (advancement notice + super reach B) when production is executed based on deviation and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(B).

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-13 to 8-18, after the lost pattern (“327”) is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-13 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-7 (advancement notice + super reach B) Big hit or variation pattern PA2-7 (advancement notice + super reach B) starts fluctuation display based on loss (Fig. 8-13 (2)).

Next, when the right and left decorative symbols are "2" and the ready-to-win state is reached (FIG. 8-13 (3)), the normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the middle decorative symbols are scrolled at a low speed, and then the image display device 5 whites out. , the advance notice effect is started (FIG. 8-13 (4)).

In the advance notice effect, the first teammate character 004IWC01 appears first (FIG. 8-13 (4)), followed by the effect display in which the second teammate character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-13 (5)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the character display of "development" is superimposed on the first teammate character 004IWC01 and the second teammate character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-13 (6)). Next, the first mini-character 004IWC03 is superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01, the second ally character 004IWC02, and the character display of "development", and is displayed so as to proliferate (FIG. 8-13 (7)). 1 mini-character 004IWC03 is displayed so as to fill the screen (FIG. 8-13 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach B starts, the multiplied first mini-character 004IWC03 gradually disappears (Fig. 8-14 (9)), and eventually all the first mini-characters 004IWC03 disappear ( Figure 8-14 (10)). With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress a sense of incongruity at the time of switching from the video of the advance notice effect to the video of the super ready-to-win, and to naturally show the series of flow from the advance notice effect to the super ready-to-win.

Next, the effect display is performed so that the second teammate character 004IWC02 lands on the ground (FIG. 8-14 (11)), and the upper body of the second teammate character 004IWC02 is enlarged and displayed corresponding to the second teammate character 004IWC02. A background image containing a plurality of stars is displayed (FIG. 8-14 (12)).

Next, the second ally character 004IWC02 and the second enemy character 004IWC11 face each other, and "VS" is displayed to suggest that a battle is about to start (FIG. 8-14 (13)).

Next, the second enemy character 004IWC11 attacks the second ally character 004IWC02 (specifically, a light beam is output from the fingertips), and an effect display is performed (FIG. 8-14 (14)). At this time, the second ally character 004IWC02 is in a state where it uses the center decoration symbol "9" (or the symbol image corresponding to the center decoration symbol "9") as a shield to prevent attacks (FIG. 8-14 (14)). .

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-13 and 8-12, the left and right decorative patterns are "2" and the reach mode is set, so the middle decorative pattern "9" displayed in FIG. 8-14 (14) is a center decoration symbol displayed two before the center decoration symbol "2" which is a combination of big hit symbols "222".

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second enemy character 004IWC11 attacks the second ally character 004IWC02 (specifically, light beams emitted from the fingertips) to destroy the center decoration symbol "9" serving as a shield. At this time, the center decoration pattern "9" is destroyed (Fig. 8-14 (15)). Then, the second teammate character 004IWC02 is enlarged and displayed, and a background image including a plurality of stars corresponding to the second teammate character 004IWC02 is displayed (FIG. 8-14 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 starts attacking (more specifically, punches) the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8-15 (17)). Then, the opposing second enemy character 004IWC11 is displayed from the front (FIG. 8-15 (18)), and an effect display is performed in which the center decoration pattern "1" appears in front of the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8- 15(19)). The center decoration symbol "1" serves as a shield that prevents the second friend character 004IWC02 from attacking the second enemy character 004IWC11. hits) effect display is performed (Fig. 8-15 (20)).

8-15 (19) is a middle decoration symbol displayed immediately before the middle decoration symbol "2" which is a combination of jackpot patterns "222". Therefore, when the center decoration symbol "1" displayed in FIG. 8-15 (19) is destroyed and the next center decoration symbol "2" is displayed, it is notified that a big win will occur.

When the attack by the second ally character 004IWC02 reaches the middle decoration symbol "1" (specifically, the fist hits it), the middle decoration symbol "1" becomes cracked (Fig. 8-15 (20)). , and further cracked (Fig. 8-15 (21)).

Details of FIG. 8-15(21) will now be described with reference to FIG. 8-38. FIG. 8-38 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a change in the decoration pattern in Super Reach B. FIG. At the timing of FIG. 8-15 (21), as shown in FIG. 8-38, fragment images 004IWG01a of a plurality of center decoration patterns are displayed around the cracked center decoration pattern "1". In addition, the fragment images 004IWG01a of each center decoration pattern are different in appearance (for example, the color, shape, number, and scattering of the fragments are different), and are three-dimensionally displayed, and appear to pop out of the screen. is displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-37 and 8-38, Super Reach A and Super Reach B are configured so that the mode when the middle decoration pattern becomes cracked is different. In addition to this, it is configured so that the cracking mode differs depending on the type of the middle decoration pattern. FIG. 8-39 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of changes in the center decoration pattern according to the type of super reach and the type of the center decoration pattern. As shown in FIG. 8-39, in this example, the mode of the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration design when the middle decoration design is cracked differs depending on the type of super reach. In the example shown in FIG. 8-39, the color, shape, number, scattering method, etc. of fragments differ depending on the type of Super Reach, even for the same inner decoration pattern "1". Also, in this example, depending on the type of the middle decoration pattern (for example, whether it is an odd number pattern or an even number pattern, the difference in the number of the middle decoration pattern, etc.), the middle decoration when the middle decoration pattern becomes cracked The fragment image 004IWG01a of the pattern is configured differently. For example, in the same type of Super Reach, among the even-numbered symbols, for example, the color, shape, number, and scattering of the fragments differ between the middle decoration symbol "2" and the middle decoration symbol "6". In the example shown in FIG. 8-39, when Super Reach A is executed, the number of displayed fragment images of the center decoration symbol "6" is larger than that of the center decoration symbol "1". With such a configuration, it is possible to give different impressions according to the type of super reach and the type of decoration pattern, and to enhance the performance effect. In addition to the configuration of this example, depending on the type of super reach, the presence and type of effects executed before super reach, and whether or not a chance-up effect is executed during super reach, the character's attack action (For example, attacks such as slashing with a sword, etc.) may be varied, and in this case, the manner in which the decoration pattern is broken, the shape of the fragment image of the decoration pattern, etc. may be changed according to the type of attack action. For example, when a slashing attack is performed with a sword, the decorative pattern is split in half, and the number of display fragment images of the decorative pattern displayed is smaller than when a striking attack (for example, ramming) is performed. You may make it Also, in this example, the center decoration pattern is in the form of a rectangular block (a rectangular parallelepiped in the case of stereoscopic vision) with a corresponding number drawn on the surface, but the shape of the corresponding number itself is represented by a block. In that case, the middle decoration pattern "6" with a wider block surface (that is, a wider cracking surface) than the middle decoration pattern "1" with a narrower block surface (that is, a narrower cracking surface) , the number of display fragment images of the center decoration pattern may be increased.

As shown in Fig. 8-15 (21), when the middle decoration pattern "1" is cracked, the effect image that was displayed immediately before is displayed with reduced brightness and saturation, and A cut-in effect is executed in which the character 004IWC01 and a plurality of star-shaped images (with normal or high brightness and saturation) are superimposed and displayed (FIG. 8-15 (22)). When the image displayed by the cut-in effect is erased, the same effect display as immediately before the cut-in effect ((21) in FIG. 8-15) is performed again ((23) in FIG. 8-15).

Then, the effect display shown in FIG. 8-15 (23) is continued for 3 seconds (at a slower speed than immediately before the cut-in effect (FIG. 8-15 (21))). At this time, a slow-motion effect is executed in which the progress speed of the effect changes from the normal speed to a speed slower than the normal speed. Specifically, an effect display is performed in which the moving speed of the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration design displayed in stereoscopic view and the character is slowed down. In addition, while the movement speed of the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration pattern and the character slows down due to the slow motion effect, the swing movement speed of the reach mode decoration pattern displayed on the upper right of the screen and the movement (rotation etc.) speed of the active display It does not slow down (that is, it does not become the target of slow motion effects). This slow-motion effect corresponds to the final stage of the Super Reach, and by reducing the speed of progress of the effect, attention is paid to how the effect progresses, that is, whether it progresses to the effect of announcing a big hit. be able to.

Variation pattern PB2-7 (development notice + super reach B) In the case of a big hit, the attack from the second friend character 004IWC02 to the second enemy character 004IWC11 becomes effective after (23) in FIG. An effect display is performed in which the middle decoration symbol “1” that was being used is destroyed (FIG. 8-16 (24)). Also, an effect display in which the attacked second enemy character 004IWC11 is blown away is performed (FIG. 8-16 (24)). In this example, light emission control is started in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow colors from the scene shown in FIG. 8-16 (24). For example, in the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-16 (24) and (30), the decorative luminous body blinks (flashes) at high speed in rainbow colors, and FIGS. ) to the scene shown in FIG. 8-17 (34), control is performed so that the decorative light emitter slowly emits light in rainbow colors.

Next, the next center decoration pattern "2" is displayed facing forward in the normal mode, and the second teammate character 004IWC02 exulting is displayed (FIG. 8-16 (25)). Next, a light effect image is displayed (FIG. 8-16 (26)) superimposed on the immediately preceding effect display (FIG. 8-16 (25)) including the second friend character 004IWC02 and the second enemy character 004IWC11. is enlarged to cover the second friend character 004IWC02 and the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8-16 (27)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transmissive, the hidden second friend character 004IWC02 and second enemy character 004IWC11 cannot be visually recognized.

Next, after the light effect image covers the entire screen, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "222" including the center decoration symbol "2" displayed in the normal mode appears (FIG. 8-16 (28)). . Then, the jackpot symbol "222" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-16 (29)), and is enlarged and displayed so as to cover the entire screen (FIG. 8-16 (30)). After that, the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed in the same size as when normal variation was performed before establishment of ready-to-win, and is displayed so as to sway four times (FIG. 8-16 (31)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily hidden and the character display of "Completely settled" is displayed (FIG. 8-17 (32)). Then, the image display device 5 whites out, the super ready-to-win B ends, the same background image as when the normal variation before the establishment of ready-to-win is performed is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily stopped and displayed. (Fig. 8-17 (33)). After that, the jackpot symbol "222" is stop-displayed (FIG. 8-17 (34)).

If the variation pattern PA2-7 (prediction of development + super reach B) is missed, the attack from the second friendly character 004IWC02 to the second enemy character 004IWC11 does not become effective after (23) in FIG. An effect display is performed to change from the cracked state to the normal state again without destroying the inner decoration pattern "1" that has become (Fig. 8-18 (35)). In this example, light emission control is started from the scene shown in FIG.

Next, the second enemy character 004IWC11 is displayed in a pose in which both hands are raised diagonally (FIG. 8-18 (36)), and the center decoration pattern "3" is displayed superimposed on the second enemy character 004IWC11 (FIG. 8). -18 (37)). Then, after the center decoration symbol "3", which is a lost combination, is displayed so as to sway four times, the image display device 5 blacks out ((38) in FIG. 8-18), and Super Reach B ends.

When super reach B ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation before establishment of reach is displayed, and the missing symbol "232" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Fig. 8-18 (39)) . After that, the lost symbol "232" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-18 (40)).

In this example, the mode of the middle decoration pattern is a normal mode, a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode (see FIG. 8-16 (24)), and a destroyed mode that can be changed from the normal mode. There is a cracked state (see FIG. 8-15 (23)), which is a state before changing to a state, and a super reach effect display (for example, an attack from an ally character to an enemy character or from an enemy character to an ally character). attack, etc.). Then, in Super Reach B, when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal form to the cracked form and then to the destroyed form, the big hit pattern is displayed (for example, FIGS. 8-15 (23) to 8 -16 (the part corresponding to 30)). With such a configuration, by changing the mode of the middle decoration pattern corresponding to the effect display of Super Reach B, the realism of the effect can be enhanced, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

Also, in this example, during the execution of Super Reach B in which the left and right decoration symbols of "3" are in the ready state, the first type of center decoration symbol (for example, even number center decoration symbol, center decoration symbol "2") was destroyed. When it becomes a mode, and during the execution of Super Reach B in which the left and right decoration symbols of "2" are in the ready state, the second type of center decoration symbol (for example, an odd number of center decoration symbols, center decoration symbol "1") is destroyed. The light emission control of the decorative light emitters is performed by a common light emission mode (that is, a pattern that emits light in rainbow colors) (see FIG. 8-3). With such a configuration, the light emission control during super reach B can be shared, and an increase in the amount of control data can be suppressed.

Further, in this example, when the jackpot pattern ("222") including the first middle decoration pattern ("2") is displayed during the execution of Super Reach B, before the first middle decoration pattern The displayed second center decoration symbol ("1") can change from the normal mode to the destroyed mode over a predetermined period of time, and the second center decoration symbol ("1") The displayed third center decoration pattern (“9”) is configured to change from the normal mode to the destroyed mode over a specific period shorter than the predetermined period. That is, the final middle decoration design stop fan effect (Fig. 8-15 (20) to Fig. 8-16 (24)) is the middle decoration design stop fan effect (Fig. 8-14 (14) to (15) immediately before the final ) has a longer performance period. With such a configuration, it is possible to vary the period required for the middle decoration pattern to change from the normal mode to the destroyed mode, thereby enhancing the performance effect of Super Reach B.例文帳に追加In this example, the middle decoration design does not change into a cracked form in the center decoration design stop fan effect immediately before the end, but it is not limited to such a configuration, and may be constructed so as to change into a cracked form. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, the cracked state of the middle decoration design in the final middle decoration design stop fan effect is longer than the time during which the middle decoration pattern is cracked in the middle decoration design stop fan effect immediately before the final. It may be configured so that the duration of time is shorter. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the exhilaration of the final center decoration symbol stop fan effect.

Also, in this example, the super reach B includes the first part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and the fanning part of the super reach B) and the second part (for example, the final fanning part of the super reach B and the win/fail notification part. If the jackpot pattern (“222”) including the first center decoration pattern (“2”) is displayed, the second center decoration pattern (“ 1”) is destroyed, the first center decoration pattern (“2”) is displayed in an enlarged mode with higher visibility than the normal mode. That is, after the middle decoration pattern "1" is destroyed as shown in FIG. 8-16 (24), the jackpot pattern including the middle decoration pattern "2" as shown in FIG. "222" is enlarged and displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the performance effect when the big-hit symbols are displayed.

Further, in this example, the cracked mode is a mode in which the visibility of the middle decoration pattern is lower than that of the normal mode (for example, the middle decoration pattern "1" shown in FIG. 8-15 (23) is cracked). , The destroyed mode is a mode in which the visibility of the middle decoration pattern is lower than the normal mode and the cracked mode (for example, the middle decoration pattern "1" shown in FIGS. 8-16 (24) is destroyed mode), after the second middle decoration pattern (for example, middle decoration pattern "1") is destroyed, the first middle decoration pattern (for example, middle decoration pattern "2") is displayed in normal mode. (See, for example, FIGS. 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (25)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to visually recognize the specific decoration identification information displayed after the special mode is entered.

Also, in this example, as the effect display of Super Reach B, the second teammate character 004IWC02 related to Super Reach B can be displayed, and the second teammate character 004IWC02 moves (attack motion in this example). The form of the design can be changed (see, for example, FIGS. 8-15 (20) to 8-16 (24)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate the action of the predetermined character with the change in the mode of the specific decoration identification information, thereby enhancing the presentation effect.

Also, in this example, during the execution of Super Reach B, when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then changes to the normal mode again, it is notified that the big hit pattern is not displayed (for example, 8-15 (23) and Figures 8-18 (35) to (40)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate a change in the mode of the specific decoration identification information with whether or not the specific display result is displayed, thereby enhancing the presentation effect.

Also, in this example, during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the middle decoration pattern that changed from the normal mode to the cracked mode then changed from the cracked mode to the destroyed mode. It is possible to display the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration design accompanying the change of the middle decoration design (for example, see FIG. 8-15 (23) and FIG. 8-38). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Also, in this example, during the period until the middle decoration pattern that changed from the normal mode to the cracked mode during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B changes from the cracked mode to the destroyed mode, a big hit It is possible to execute a cut-in effect suggesting that (for example, the portion where the cut-in image shown in FIG. 8-15 (22) is displayed). The execution period of the cut-in effect is shorter than the period until the middle decoration pattern changes from the cracked state to the destroyed state (for example, until the middle decoration pattern changes from the cracked state to the destroyed state). 8-15 (21) to 8-16 (24)). With such a configuration, it is possible to effectively liven up the presentation.

Also, in this example, the second teammate character 004IWC02 related to super reach B can be displayed as the effect display for super reach B, and the first teammate character 004IWC01 related to super reach A can be displayed as the effect display for super reach A. During the execution of Super Reach B, it is possible to change the mode of the center decoration pattern corresponding to the action (attack action in this example) of the second ally character 004IWC02 (for example, FIG. 8-15 (20 ) to FIG. 8-16 (24)), during execution of Super Reach A, it is possible to change the form of the center decoration pattern corresponding to the action (attack action and defense action in this example) of the first ally character 004IWC01. (For example, see FIGS. 8-8 (14) to 8-8 (15), FIGS. 8-9 (22) to 8-10 (23), and FIG. 8-12 (34)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the production and improve the entertainment.

Also, in this example, in the second part of Super Reach B, when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode, it is possible to execute a slow motion effect in which the progress speed of the effect is slower than the normal speed. (For example, the part where the progress speed of the production decreases as shown in FIG. 8-15 (23)), when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode in the second part of Super Reach A, slow motion An effect can be executed (for example, a portion where the progress speed of the effect decreases as shown in FIG. 8-9 (22)). The period during which the slow motion effect is performed has a common length for super reach B and super reach A (in this example, both are performed for 3 seconds). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the presentation easier to understand while changing the content of the presentation.

Also, in this example, in the second part of Super Reach B, it is suggested that the jackpot design is not displayed when the middle decoration design changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then to the normal mode again (for example, Part corresponding to 8-18 (35) to (38)),
In the second part of Super Reach A, it is suggested that the jackpot pattern is not displayed when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode and then to the destroyed mode (for example, FIG. 8- 12 (34) to (37)),
A common light emission mode is used when the middle decoration pattern is displayed again in the normal mode in the second part of Super Reach B and when the middle decoration pattern is displayed in the destroyed form in the second part of Super Reach A. (ie, a pattern that emits white light with low luminance) controls the light emission of the decorative light emitter (see FIG. 8-4). With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by standardizing the light emission control while providing various ways of enjoying the effects by varying the contents of the effects.

(Super Reach C)
FIGS. 8-19 to 8-24 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of advanced notice effect and super reach C. FIG. FIGS. 8-19 to 8-23 of FIGS. 8-19 to 8-24 are specific examples of a case in which an effect is executed based on the variation pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C) big hit. , corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-3(C). Figure 8-19 ~ Figure 8-21, Figure 8-24 of Figure 8-19 ~ Figure 8-24, variation pattern PA2-10 (advancement notice + super reach C) when production is executed based on deviation and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(C).

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-19 to 8-24, after the lost pattern (“327”) is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-19 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C) Big hit or fluctuation pattern PA2-10 (development notice + super reach C) starts a fluctuation display based on the loss (FIG. 8-19 (2)).

Next, when the left and right decorative patterns are "1" and the ready-to-win state is reached (FIG. 8-19 (3)), the normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the middle decorative patterns are scrolled at a low speed, and then the image display device 5 whites out. , the advance notice effect is started (FIG. 8-19 (4)).

In the advance notice effect, first, the first teammate character 004IWC01 appears (FIG. 8-19 (4)), followed by the effect display in which the second teammate character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-19 (5)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the character display of "development" is superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-19 (6)). Next, the first mini-character 004IWC03 is superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01, the second ally character 004IWC02, and the character display of "development", and is displayed so as to proliferate (Fig. 8-19 (7)). 1 mini-character 004IWC03 is displayed so as to fill the screen (FIG. 8-19 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach C starts, the multiplied first mini-character 004IWC03 gradually disappears (Fig. 8-20 (9)), and eventually all the first mini-characters 004IWC03 disappear ( Figure 8-20 (10)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 004IWC13 lands on the ground ((11) in FIG. 8-20), after which the background image is switched to a white background image, and the character display of "Decisive Battle" is displayed in the center of the screen. (Fig. 8-20 (12)). It should be noted that the character display of "Decisive Battle" displayed in FIG. 8-20(12) is displayed in the foreground until the timing of FIG. 8-20(15).

Next, a first superimposed image depicting a second ally character 004IWC02 and a plurality of stars is displayed on the left side of a parallelogram area including the character display of "Decisive Battle" in the center of the screen, and a third superimposed image is displayed on the right side. A second superimposed image depicting the enemy character 004IWC13 and a plurality of broken hearts is displayed (FIG. 8-20 (13)).

Next, the first superimposed image on the left side and the second superimposed image on the right side are moved to the center and glued together, and the character display of "Decisive Battle" is superimposed and displayed on these images (FIG. 8-20 (14)). . After that, the first superimposed image on the left side and the second superimposed image on the right side are moved to their original positions, and the background image for super reach C is placed in the same parallelogram area formed between both images as at the beginning. is displayed. Then, the character display of "decisive battle" is superimposed on the background image for Super Reach C (FIG. 8-20 (15)).

Next, the first superimposed image on the left side and the second superimposed image on the right side are erased, and the background image for super reach C is displayed in the area where they were displayed. Also, an effect display is performed in which the second friend character 004IWC02 and the third enemy character 004IWC13 face each other (FIG. 8-20 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 004IWC13 starts attacking the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-21 (17)). A flame effect image is displayed around the third enemy character 004IWC13 (FIG. 8-21 (18)), and an effect display is performed in which a huge spherical energy bullet is formed above the head of the third enemy character 004IWC13 ( Fig. 8-21 (19)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 004IWC02 starts attacking the third enemy character 004IWC13 (FIG. 8-21 (20)). An effect image of flames is displayed around the second ally character 004IWC02 (Fig. 8-21 (21)), and an effect display is performed in which a huge energy bullet is output from the overhead of the second ally character 004IWC02 (Fig. 8- 21(22)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spherical energy bullet formed by the third enemy character 004IWC13 collides with the energy bullet output from the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-21 (23)). Next, while the effect display of the collision of the energy bullets in the center of the screen continues, a first superimposed image in which the second ally character 004IWC02 and a plurality of stars are drawn is displayed in the triangular area at the bottom left of the screen, and A second superimposed image in which a third enemy character 004IWC13 and a plurality of broken hearts are drawn in a triangular area is displayed (FIG. 8-21 (24)).

Then, the effect display shown in FIG. 8-21 (24) is continued for 4 seconds (at a slower speed than before). At this time, a slow-motion effect is executed in which the progress speed of the effect changes from the normal speed to a speed slower than the normal speed. Specifically, an effect display is performed in which the action speed of the energy bullet or the character is slowed down. In addition, while the movement speed of energy bullets and characters is slowed down by slow motion effects, the swing movement speed of the reach-mode decorative pattern displayed on the upper right of the screen and the movement (rotation, etc.) speed of the active display are not slowed down (i.e. slow It is not subject to motion effects). This slow-motion effect corresponds to the final stage of the Super Reach, and by reducing the speed of progress of the effect, attention is paid to how the effect progresses, that is, whether it progresses to the effect of announcing a big hit. be able to.

Variation pattern PB2-10 (development notice + super reach C) In the case of a big hit, after FIG. Figure 8-22 (25)). In this example, light emission control is started in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow-colored light from the scene shown in FIG. 8-22 (25). For example, in the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-22 (25) and 8-23 (35), the decorative light emitter flashes in rainbow colors at high speed, ), and in the scenes shown in (36) to (38) of FIG.

Next, the effect display of the second ally character 004IWC02 making a peace sign is performed (Fig. 8-22 (26)). "All" is displayed on the bottom left of the screen (Fig. 8-22 (28)), "Decision" is displayed on the bottom left of the screen (Fig. 8-22 (29)), and "To" is displayed on the bottom right of the screen 22 (30)) are sequentially displayed. Further, when all the character displays of "Completely settled" are displayed, the center decoration pattern "1" which is a winning combination is displayed (FIG. 8-22 (30)).

Next, an effect image of light is displayed (FIG. 8-22 (31)) superimposed on the previous effect display (FIG. 8-22 (30)) including the second ally character 004IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1", An effect display is performed in which the light effect image is enlarged to cover the second teammate character 004IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1" (FIG. 8-22 (32)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transmissive, the hidden second teammate character 004IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1" cannot be visually recognized.

Next, after the light effect image covers the entire screen, a performance display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "111" including the center decoration symbol "1" appears (FIG. 8-23 (33)). Then, the jackpot symbol "111" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-23 (34)), and is enlarged and displayed so as to cover the entire screen (FIG. 8-23 (35)). After that, the jackpot symbol "111" is displayed in the same size as when normal variation was performed before establishment of ready-to-win, and is displayed so as to sway four times (FIG. 8-23 (36)).

Then, the image display device 5 whites out, the super ready-to-win D ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation before the establishment of ready-to-win is performed is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "111" is temporarily stopped and displayed. (Fig. 8-23 (37)). After that, the jackpot symbol "111" is stop-displayed (FIG. 8-23 (38)).

If the variation pattern PA2-10 (development notice + super reach C) is missed, a background image depicting the third enemy character 004IWC13 and a plurality of broken hearts is displayed after FIG. 8-21 (24). (Fig. 8-24 (39)). In this example, light emission control is started from the scene shown in FIG.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 004IWC13 makes a peace sign (FIG. 8-24 (40)), and furthermore, the center decoration pattern "2" is displayed superimposed on the third enemy character 004IWC13 (FIG. 8). -24 (41)). Then, after the center decoration symbol "2", which is a lost combination, is displayed so as to sway five times, the image display device 5 is blacked out ((42) in FIG. 8-24), and Super Reach C ends.

When super reach C ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation before the establishment of reach is displayed, and the lost symbol "121" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Fig. 8-24 (43)) . After that, the lost symbol "121" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-24 (44)).

In this example, during the execution of Super Reach B, when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal form to the cracked form and then to the destroyed form, the big hit pattern can be displayed (for example, Part corresponding to FIGS. 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (30)), during the execution of Super Reach C, the middle decoration pattern does not change to either a cracked mode or a destroyed mode, Although the jackpot pattern can be displayed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-20 (9) to 8-23 (36), the effect of changing the mode of the middle decoration pattern is not executed, and the jackpot pattern "111 ” is displayed), and when the jackpot pattern is displayed during execution of super reach B and when the jackpot pattern is displayed during execution of super reach C, a common light emission mode (for example, rainbow-colored It is possible to control the light emission of the decorative light emitter by means of the light emission pattern (see, for example, FIG. 8-3). With such a configuration, it is possible to execute the super reach B for notifying whether or not a big win is achieved by changing the mode of the middle decoration pattern, and at the same time whether or not the big win is achieved without changing the mode of the middle decoration pattern. By making it possible to execute the super reach C for informing whether or not, the amount of control data is increased by making the light emission control common between the super reach B and the super reach C while increasing the interest in the game by giving variation to the presentation of the performance. can be suppressed. In addition, it is possible to appropriately notify that a big hit has been achieved.

Also, in this example, it is possible to execute a slow motion effect when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal mode to the cracked mode during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B (for example, in FIG. 8-15 (23) 8-21 (24), a slow motion effect can be executed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach C (for example, the progress of the effect as shown in FIG. 8-21 (24) The slow motion effect executed in the second part of the super reach C) has a longer execution period than the slow motion effect executed in the second part of the super reach B. Specifically, the effect period of the slow motion effect in the second part of Super Reach C is 4 seconds, while the effect period of the slow motion effect in the second part of Super Reach B is 3 seconds (Fig. 8-15 (23) and Figure 8-21 (24)). With such a configuration, the degree of attention to the second part of super reach B and the second part of super reach C can be increased.

In addition, in this example, when the jackpot pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the middle decoration pattern in the normal mode can be displayed (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-18 (35) ), when the jackpot pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of super reach C, it is possible to display the middle decoration pattern of the normal mode (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-24 (41)), and the super When the middle decoration pattern of the normal mode is displayed when the big win pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of the reach B, and when the big win pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of the super reach C. It is possible to perform light emission control of the decorative light emitters by a common light emission mode (that is, a low-luminance white light emission pattern) sometimes when the center decoration pattern of the normal mode is displayed (for example, FIGS. 8-18 The part corresponding to (1-38) and FIG. 8-24 (42) (see FIG. 8-4). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that the big hit pattern is not displayed, and to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by sharing the light emission control of the super ready-to-win B and the super ready-to-win C. can be done.

In this example, the execution period of the second part of super reach C is longer than that of the second part of super reach B. For example, the execution period of the slow motion effect (Fig. 8-15 (23), Fig. 8-21 (24)), and the period from winning the battle to displaying the big hit pattern at the time of the big hit (Fig. 8-16 (24) to (28), FIGS. 8-22 (25) to 8-23 (33)), the period from when the missing pattern is displayed to returning to the normal background screen (FIGS. 8-18 (35) to (38) , (39) to (42) of FIG. 8-24) are configured to be longer. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the performance effect of Super Reach C, which has a high degree of expectation.

In addition, in this example, the middle decoration pattern can be displayed in both the first part of super reach B and the second part of super reach B, while the middle decoration pattern is displayed in the first part of super reach C. Without (for example, the part corresponding to (9) to (16) in FIG. 8-20), in the second part of Super Reach C (for example, at the timing of displaying the jackpot pattern), it is possible to display the middle decoration pattern (for example, , parts corresponding to FIGS. 8-21 (17) to (36)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the effects and improve the effect of each effect.

Further, in this example, when the jackpot pattern is displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, after the middle decoration pattern has been destroyed, what is the middle decoration pattern that has been destroyed? A different center decoration pattern is displayed in an enlarged mode with higher visibility than the normal mode (for example, portions corresponding to (24) to (30) in FIG. 8-16), and a big hit is made during the second part of Super Reach C. When the pattern is displayed, it is displayed in an enlarged form while the middle decoration pattern is not displayed in a destroyed form (for example, the part corresponding to Fig. 8-22 (25) to Fig. 8-23 (35)) . With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the effects and improve the effect of each effect.

In addition, in this example, when the big hit pattern is displayed in the second part of Super Reach B or the second part of Super Reach C, it is possible to display common character information after displaying the big win pattern (for example, FIG. 8- 17 (32), as shown in FIG. 8-22 (30), the character display of "Complete settlement" is displayed). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify the result of the effect while changing the content of the effect.

Also, in this example, when the big win pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second predetermined part of the super reach B, the middle decoration pattern of the normal mode can be displayed, and during the execution of the second part of the super reach C, the big win is obtained. When the pattern is not displayed, the center decoration pattern in the normal mode can be displayed, and when the big hit pattern is not displayed during the second part of Super Reach B, the center decoration pattern in the normal mode is displayed. , a predetermined number of predetermined motions (four shaking motions in this example) can be executed (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-18 (38)), and the jackpot pattern during the execution of the second part of Super Reach C The normal mode (four times in this example) that is displayed when is not displayed can perform a special number of predetermined actions (five times in this example) that are greater than the predetermined number of times (for example, The part corresponding to FIG. 8-24 (42)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the effects and improve the effect of each effect.

(Super Reach D)
8-25 to 8-28 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of Super Reach D. FIG. 8-25 to 8-27 of FIGS. 8-25 to 8-28 are specific examples of the case where the effect is executed based on the variation pattern PB2-13 (super reach D) big hit, and FIG. This corresponds to the timing chart shown in -3(D). FIGS. 8-25 to 8-26 and 8-28 out of FIGS. 8-25 to 8-28 are specific examples of when the production is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D) deviation. , which corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-4(D).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-25 to 8-28, after the lost pattern (“327”) is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-25 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-13 (super reach D) big hit or fluctuation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D) starts a fluctuation display based on the difference (FIG. 8-25 (2)). In the high-probability state where Super Reach D is executed, a background image different from the low-probability state is used, and a display that instructs to hit to the right and a display that indicates the number of remaining fluctuations controlled to the high-probability state are performed. will be

Next, when the right and left decorative symbols are "2" and the ready-to-win state is reached (FIG. 8-25 (3)), the normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the center decorative symbols are scrolled at a low speed, and then the super ready-to-win D is started. When Super Reach D starts, the second ally character 004IWC02 and the first enemy character 004IWC12 face each other, and "VS" is displayed to indicate that a battle is about to start (Fig. 8-25 (4 )).

Next, the second ally character 004IWC02 attacks (more specifically, punches) the first enemy character 004IWC12 (FIG. 8-25 (5)). Also, the effect display is performed in which the first enemy character 004IWC12 attacks (specifically, rams) the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-25 (6)). Then, an effect display is performed in which the attack of the second ally character 004IWC02 (specifically, the fist that strikes) collides with the attack of the first enemy character 004IWC12 (specifically, the shoulder that is rammed) (FIG. 8-25). (7)).

Here, the decision button effect is started, and the effect display that was displayed immediately before is switched to a screen in which the friendly character 004IWC01 and the push button image 004IWG03 imitating the push button 31B are displayed thinly (Fig. 8-25 (8 )). That is, the effect display for prompting the operation of the push button 31B is started. Then, the ally character 004IWC01 and the push button image 004IWG03 are gradually displayed darker (FIG. 8-26 (9)), and the characters "Press!" 8-26(10)).

In the case of the variation pattern PB2-13 (super reach D) big hit, when the operation of the push button 31B is detected, a radial pattern background image is displayed (FIG. 8-27 (11)). In this example, the light emission control for the decorative light emitter to emit rainbow colors is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-27(11). For example, in the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-27 (11) to (12) and (15), the decorative light emitter flashes in rainbow colors at high speed, ) to (17), control is performed such that the decorative light emitter slowly emits light in rainbow colors.

Next, a movable body effect is executed in which the movable body 32 moves from the initial position to the effect position in front of the image display 5 (FIG. 8-27 (12)). At the same time, an effect display is performed in which the background image of the radial pattern is broken (FIG. 8-27 (12)). Next, the movable body 32 is controlled to return from the effect position to the initial position, and the effect display is performed in which the background image of the radial pattern is broken and the jackpot pattern "222" appears behind the background image (Fig. 8- 27(13)). When the background image of the radial pattern is broken, multiple fragment images are displayed, but since these fragment images have low transparency, the player can see the image displayed in the layer below the fragment image through the fragment image. Can not.

Next, a performance display is performed so that the appearing jackpot symbol "222" moves from the back side of the screen (that is, the back side of the background image of the radial pattern) to the front side (FIG. 8-27 (14)), and eventually the radial pattern is displayed. The jackpot symbol "222" breaking through the background image is enlarged and displayed so as to cover the entire screen (FIG. 8-27 (15)).

Next, the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed in the same size as when normal variation was performed before establishment of ready-to-win, and displayed so as to sway twice (FIG. 8-27 (16)). After that, the jackpot symbol "222" is stop-displayed (FIG. 8-27 (17)). In this example, when the big-hit symbol "222" is enlarged and displayed, it is displayed together with the fragment image of the background image of the radial pattern to express the appearance of breaking through and heighten the sense of realism. 222" is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation is performed before establishment of ready-to-win, the fragment image is completely faded out so as not to lower the visibility of the big win pattern.

When the variation pattern PA2-13 (super reach D) is out of range, when the operation of the push button 31B is detected, the background image of the broken glass and the fragment image of the glass are displayed (Fig. 8-28 (18) ). The broken glass image displayed here is the broken image of the background image with the radial pattern shown in FIG. Smaller than pictured and less in number. Then, after the glass fragment image has finished fading out (that is, after it has been completely erased), the center decoration pattern "3" is displayed superimposed on the background image (FIG. 8-28 (19)). Then, after the center decoration pattern "3", which is a lost combination, is displayed so as to sway twice, the image display device 5 is blacked out, and the super reach D ends. In this example, light emission control is started from the scene shown in FIG.

When super reach D ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation before the establishment of reach is displayed, and the missing symbol "232" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Fig. 8-28 (20)) . After that, the lost symbol "232" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-28 (21)).

In this example, during the execution of Super Reach B, when the middle decoration pattern changes from the normal form to the cracked form and then to the destroyed form, the jackpot pattern can be displayed (for example, FIGS. 8-15 (23) to the part corresponding to FIG. 8-16 (30)), during the execution of Super Reach D, the middle decoration pattern does not change to either the destroyed mode or the cracked mode, displaying the jackpot pattern Although it is possible (for example, the jackpot pattern is displayed without execution of the effect of changing the mode of the middle decoration pattern as shown in FIGS. 8-25 (4) to 8-27 (17)), The decoration light emitting body has a common light emission mode (i.e., a rainbow light emission pattern) when the jackpot pattern is displayed during execution of super reach B and when the jackpot pattern is displayed during execution of super reach D. Light emission control can be performed (see FIG. 8-3). With such a configuration, it is possible to execute the super reach B for notifying whether or not a big win is achieved by changing the mode of the middle decoration pattern, and at the same time whether or not the big win is achieved without changing the mode of the middle decoration pattern. By making it possible to execute super reach D for informing whether or not, variations are given to how to show performance in a low probability state and a high probability state to enhance the interest in the game, and furthermore, the difference between super reach B and super reach D is provided. By sharing the light emission control, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data.

In addition, in this example, when super reach B is executed and the big hit pattern is displayed, the big hit pattern is displayed without executing the movable body effect in the second part of super reach B (for example, FIG. 8-16 ( 25)), when the super reach D is executed and the jackpot pattern is displayed, the jackpot pattern is displayed after the movable body effect is executed in the second part of the super reach D (for example, FIG. 8- 27(12)). With such a configuration, the second part of the super reach B and the second part of the super reach D can be made different in the presentation mode when displaying the big win symbols, and the amusement of the game can be enhanced.

Also, in this example, when the jackpot pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, it is possible to display the middle decoration pattern in the normal mode (for example, see FIGS. 8-4 and 8-18). , When the jackpot pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of super reach D, it is possible to display the middle decoration pattern of the normal mode (for example, see FIGS. 8-4 and 8-28), and super reach B When the middle decoration pattern of the normal mode is displayed when the big winning pattern is not displayed during the execution of the part of , and when the big winning pattern is not displayed during the second part of the super reach D, the normal mode It is possible to control the light emission of the decorative light emitters by using a common light emission mode (that is, a low-luminance white light emission pattern) when the center decoration pattern is displayed (for example, FIG. 8-18 (38 ) and FIG. 8-28 (19), see FIG. 8-4). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that the big hit pattern is not displayed, and to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by sharing the light emission control of the super reach B and the super reach D.

In addition, in this example, while the middle decoration pattern can be displayed in both the first part and the second part of Super Reach B, the middle decoration pattern is not displayed in the first part of Super Reach D (for example, FIG. 8 -25 (4) to Figure 8-26 (10), the middle decoration pattern is not displayed), and the middle decoration pattern can be displayed in the second part of Super Reach D (for example, at the timing of displaying the jackpot pattern) (For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-27 (11) to (16) and FIGS. 8-28 (18) to (20), it is possible to display center decoration patterns). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the super reach B and the super reach D different in the effect mode, thereby enhancing the game interest.

Also, in this example, in the second part of super reach B, the big hit pattern is displayed without executing the decision button effect (see, for example, FIGS. 8-15 and 8-16), and in the second part of super reach D, , a big hit pattern is displayed after execution of the decision button effect (for example, portions corresponding to (11) to (16) in FIG. 8-27). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the super reach B and the super reach D different in the effect mode, thereby enhancing the game interest.

Further, in this example, when the jackpot pattern is displayed during the execution of Super Ready-to-Win B, after the second part of Super Ready-to-Hit B, the middle decoration pattern is destroyed, the middle decoration pattern is more visually recognized than in the normal mode. can be displayed in an enlarged manner with enhanced functionality (for example, portions corresponding to FIGS. 8-16 (24) to (30)), and when the jackpot pattern is displayed during the execution of Super Reach D, Super Reach D During execution of the second part of the second part, the center decoration pattern can be displayed in an enlarged manner (for example, the portion corresponding to FIG. 8-27 (15)). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that a big hit has been achieved while varying the contents of the performance.

Also, in this example, when the big hit pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach B, the middle decoration pattern in the normal mode is a predetermined number of predetermined movements (in this example, four shaking movements). ) can be executed (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-18 (38)), and the middle decoration of the normal mode displayed when the jackpot pattern is not displayed during the execution of the second part of Super Reach D The symbol is capable of performing a predetermined number of motions (three shaking motions in this example) less than the predetermined number of times (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-28 (19)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the super reach B and the super reach D different in the effect mode, thereby enhancing the game interest.

Not limited to the configuration shown in this example, when the big hit pattern is displayed in the second part of Super Reach B or the second part of Super Reach D, common character information (for example, "complete settlement ” character display) may be displayed (for example, in the same way as FIG. 8-17 (32), the second part of Super Reach D shown in FIG. may be displayed). With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately notify that a big hit has been achieved while varying the contents of the performance.

(long reach)
FIG. 8-29 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of long reach. FIG. 8-29 is a specific example in which an effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5(A).

In the example shown in FIG. 8-29, after the lost pattern (“327”) is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-29 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PA2-2 (long Reach) starts a variable display based on the deviation (FIG. 8-29 (2)).

Next, when the left and right decorative symbols are "2" and the ready-to-win state is reached (FIG. 8-29 (3)), the normal ready-to-win effect is executed in which the middle decorative symbols are scrolled at a low speed, and then the long reach is started. When the long reach is started, the first teammate character 004IWC01 is displayed and a plurality of options 004IWG02 are displayed (FIG. 8-29 (4)). The plurality of options 004IWG02 includes a plurality of options simulating an enemy character suggesting that the center decoration symbol that is a loser will stop, and an option that suggests that the center decoration symbol "2" that will be a big hit will stop. be Not limited to the configuration of this example, if there is a variation pattern that develops from long reach to super reach, options that suggest developing to super reach such as "opportunity", "strong SP", and "hot heat" etc. may be included.

Next, an effect display is performed in which a plurality of options 004IWG02 are rotated (FIG. 8-29 (5)). Then, when the first ally character 004IWC01 shoots the option with the light beam emitted from the eye (FIG. 8-29 (6)), the shot option is displayed in a frame provided called TARGET (FIG. 8- 29(7)). In the example shown in FIG. 8-29(7), since the options imitating the enemy character are shot and displayed in the TARGET frame, it is suggested that the missing center decoration pattern stops.

After that, the image display device 5 blacks out, and the long reach ends. When the long reach is completed, the same background image as when the normal variation was performed before the establishment of the reach is displayed, and the lost symbol "212" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-29 (8)).

(special notice + long reach)
FIGS. 8-30 to 8-31 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the special notice effect and long reach. FIGS. 8-30 to 8-31 are specific examples in which the effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach), and the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-5 (B). corresponds to

In the example shown in FIGS. 8-30 to 8-31, after the lost pattern (“327”) is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-30 (1)), the fluctuation pattern For PA2-3 (special notice + long reach), a variable display based on the deviation is started (Fig. 8-30 (2)).

Next, the left and right decorative symbols are "2" and the ready-to-win state is reached. When the special notice effect is started here, the spear image 004IWG04 appears from the lower right of the screen (FIG. 8-30 (3)). Then, the background image is switched to black, and the spear image 004IWG04 moves from the bottom right of the screen toward the center of the screen, and an effect display is performed in which it collides with the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-30 (4)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-30 (5)). By breaking the glass image 004IWG05 at this time, a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a and an unbroken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corners of the screen are displayed (FIG. 8-30 (5)).

In this example, the time from the cracking of the glass image to the complete cracking in the special notice effect (for example, corresponding to Figure 8-30 (4) to (5)) and the cracking of the background image in Super Reach D 8-27 (12) to (13)) are different from each other. Specifically, the effect display in which the glass image breaks in the special notice effect is performed before the winner is announced, so the time from cracking to complete cracking is set short, with an emphasis on showing the effect at a good tempo. On the other hand, the effect display in which the background image cracks in Super Reach D is performed when a big win is announced. , complete cracking occurs as the movable body 32 returns to the origin. In addition to such a configuration, the display speed of the fragment image of the glass image in the special notice effect (that is, the moving speed when fading out of the screen) is different from the display speed of the fragment image of the background image in Super Reach D. It may be configured to For example, the display speed of the fragment image of the background image in the super reach D may be made faster than the display speed of the fragment image of the glass image in the special advance notice performance in order to enhance the feeling of exhilaration when the big win is announced. In addition, when the fragment image of the glass image is displayed in the special notice effect, light emission control is performed to flash the decorative light emitter in high-brightness white at high speed, while the fragment image of the background image is displayed in Super Reach. Light emission control is performed to cause the decorative light emitter to emit light in rainbow colors.

The plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a have all disappeared at the timing shown in FIG. will continue to be displayed. In this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen is continuously displayed until the long reach ends. Note that the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen is displayed on a higher layer than other effect images and background images, but since it has high transparency, other effects displayed on a lower layer through the glass image 004IWG05b are displayed. Images and background images can be visually recognized.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrating the glass image 004IWG05 collides with the second glass image 004IWG06 existing behind the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-30 (6)). Then, by breaking the second glass image 004IWG06, a plurality of fragment images 004IWG06a of the second glass are displayed (FIG. 8-30 (7)).

Next, when the long reach is started, an effect display is performed in which a plurality of options 004IWG02 appear together with the first teammate character 004IWC01 behind the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a (FIG. 8-30 (8)). . Although not shown in this example, between the scene of FIG. 8-30 (7) and the scene of FIG. (ie, both the fragment image and the whiteout are visible from the player's point of view), after which the black background image is switched to the super reach background image.

Next, a plurality of fragment images 004IWG06a of the second glass gradually disappear (FIGS. 8-31 (9) and (10)), and an effect display is performed in which a plurality of options 004IWG02 rotate (FIG. 8-31 (11)). . Then, when the first ally character 004IWC01 shoots the option with the light beam emitted from the eyes (FIG. 8-31 (12)), the shot option is displayed in a frame provided called TARGET (FIG. 8- 31(13)). In the example shown in FIG. 8-31 (13), an option simulating an enemy character is shot and displayed in the TARGET frame, suggesting that the missing center decoration pattern stops.

After that, the image display device 5 blacks out, and the long reach ends. When the long reach is completed, the same background image as when the normal variation was performed before the establishment of the reach is displayed, and the lost symbol "212" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-31 (14)).

(back button effect)
FIG. 8-32 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the back button effect when the special notice effect and long reach are executed. FIG. 8-32 is a specific example in which an effect is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-3 (special notice + long reach), and the back button effect is executed during long reach. It corresponds to the timing chart shown in C). In this example, the back button effect is an effect that can be executed regardless of whether or not the special notice effect is executed. is detected, the decorative luminous body is made to emit light not in the light emission pattern corresponding to long reach but in the light emission pattern corresponding to the back button effect. There are a plurality of types of light emission patterns corresponding to the back button effect, and the degree of expectation for a big hit is suggested according to the type of light emission pattern. When the special notice effect and long reach shown in FIG. 8-32 are executed, when the player's motion is detected within the back button effect period, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b displayed at the corner of the screen drops and disappears. Simultaneously with the display, an effect is started in which the decorative light emitter emits light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the back button effect.

In the example shown in FIG. 8-32, a broken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed in the corner of the screen and a plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a are displayed by the special notice effect, and long reach is started after the special notice effect. will continue to be displayed. When the long reach is started, an effect display is performed in which a plurality of options 004IWG02 appear together with the first teammate character 004IWC01 behind the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a (FIG. 8-32 (1)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the plurality of fragment images 004IWG06a of the second glass gradually disappear and the plurality of options 004IWG02 rotate (FIG. 8-32 (2)). When the operation of the push button 31B is detected here, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b displayed in the corner of the screen falls along with the back button effect (that is, the effect of making the decorative light emitter emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the back button effect). Then, an effect display that disappears is performed (FIG. 8-32 (3)). Even while the effect display in which the glass image 004IWG05b falls and disappears is performed, the effect display in which a plurality of options 004IWG02 rotate is continuously performed (FIG. 8-32 (4)).

(Development notice effect and special notice effect)
FIGS. 8-33 and 8-34 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples when the advanced notice effect and the special notice effect are executed. In Figures 8-33 to 8-34, production is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) or variation pattern PB2-8 (development notice + special notice + super reach B). This is a specific example of the case where it is performed, and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(A).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-33 and 8-34, after the right and left decorative symbols are “2” and the ready-to-win state is reached, the image display device 5 is whited out, and the advanced notice effect is started (FIG. 8). -33(1)).

In the advance notice effect, first, the first teammate character 004IWC01 appears (Fig. 8-33 (1)), followed by the effect display in which the second teammate character 004IWC02 appears (Fig. 8-33 (2)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the character display of "development" is superimposed on the first ally character 004IWC01 and the second ally character 004IWC02 (FIG. 8-33 (3)).

Next, when the special notice effect is started, the first teammate character 004IWC01 and the first panel image in which a plurality of squares are drawn in the background gradually appear from the lower left area of the screen, and the second panel image appears from the lower right area of the screen. An effect display is performed in which the friendly character 004IWC02 and the second panel image in which a plurality of stars are drawn in the background gradually appear (FIG. 8-33 (4)). Then, when the entirety of the first panel image and the second panel image are respectively displayed (FIG. 8-33 (5)), the character display of "Let's go!" is superimposed on the first panel image and the second panel image. is displayed (Fig. 8-33 (6)).

The second mini-character 004IWC04 is superimposed on the first panel image, the second panel image, and the character display of "Let's go!" An effect display is performed in which the character 004IWC04 is displayed so as to fill the screen (FIG. 8-33 (8)).

After that, when Super Reach (Super Reach B in this example) is started, the second mini-character 004IWC04 that has proliferated gradually disappears (Fig. 8-34 (9)), and eventually all the second mini-characters 004IWC04 disappear. An effect display is performed (FIG. 8-34 (10)). Then, an effect display is performed in which the second teammate character 004IWC02 lands on the ground (FIG. 8-34 (11)).

(Development notice effect and special notice effect)
FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples when the advanced notice effect and the special notice effect are executed. In Figures 8-35 to 8-36, production is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B) or variation pattern PB2-9 (development notice + special notice + super reach B). This is a specific example of the case where it is performed, and corresponds to the timing chart shown in FIG. 8-6(B).

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36, after the right and left decorative symbols are "2" and the ready-to-win state is reached, the image display device 5 is whited out and the advance notice effect is started.

In the advance notice effect, first, the first teammate character 004IWC01 appears, and then the second teammate character 004IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-35 (1)).

Here, when the special notice effect is started, the spear image 004IWG04 appears from the lower right of the screen (FIG. 8-35 (2)). Then, the background image is switched to a black color, and the spear image 004IWG04 moves from the lower right side of the screen toward the center of the screen, and an effect display is performed in which it collides with the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-35 (3)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrates the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-35 (4)). At this time, as the glass image 004IWG05 is broken, a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a and an unbroken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corners of the screen are displayed (FIG. 8-35(4)).

The multiple glass fragment images 004IWG05a all disappear at the timing shown in FIG. will continue to be displayed. In this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen is continuously displayed until the character appears in Super Reach. Note that the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b remaining in the corner of the screen is displayed on a higher layer than other effect images and background images, but since it has high transparency, other effects displayed on a lower layer through the glass image 004IWG05b are displayed. Images and background images can be visually recognized.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spear image 004IWG04 penetrating the glass image 004IWG05 collides with the second glass image 004IWG06 existing behind the glass image 004IWG05 (FIG. 8-35 (5)). Then, by breaking the second glass image 004IWG06, a plurality of fragment images 004IWG06a of the second glass are displayed (FIG. 8-35 (6)).

Next, when super reach (super reach B in this example) is started, an effect display is performed in which the background of the plurality of second glass fragment images 004IWG06a is switched to the background image for super reach (Fig. 8-35 ( 7)). Although not shown in this example, between the scene of FIG. 8-35 (6) and the scene of FIG. (ie, both the fragment image and the whiteout are visible from the player's point of view), after which the black background image is switched to the super reach background image.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the plurality of fragment images 004IWG06a of the second glass gradually disappear (FIG. 8-35 (8)). Only 004IWG05b is displayed (FIG. 8-36 (9)).

Next, when the second teammate character 004IWC02 lands on the ground, an effect display is performed in which the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b at the corner of the screen falls and disappears (FIGS. 8-36 (10) and (11)). In the example shown in FIGS. 8-35 to 8-36 in which the super reach is executed after the special effect notice is executed, in the scene shown in FIG. "2↓2" is displayed in which is a reach mode. In this example, when the super ready-to-win is executed without the notice of the special effect being executed, "2 ↓ 2" is displayed on the upper right of the screen from the start of the super ready-to-win, in which the left and right decorative patterns are in the ready-to-win mode. However, when the super reach is executed after the special notice effect is executed, in order not to reduce the effect of the special notice effect (for example, cracking of the glass image), as shown in FIG. 8-36 (11) At the timing, "2↓2" is displayed on the upper right of the screen, in which the right and left decorative patterns of "2" are in the ready-to-win mode.

In this example, when the special notice effect is executed, a special display (second mini-character 004IWC04 in this example) can be displayed (for example, corresponding part), when the special notice effect is executed, a special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) can be displayed (for example, FIGS. 8-35 (3) to 8-36 (10) the part corresponding to ). Then, super reach (super reach B in this example) is executed after a special display is displayed along with the execution of the special notice effect (for example, super reach B is started at the timing of FIG. 8-34 (9). ), which is executed after the special display is displayed along with the execution of the special notice effect (for example, super reach B is started at the timing of (7) in FIG. 8-35). Also, as described above, in this example, there are cases where either the special notice effect or the special notice effect is executed, or neither of them is executed, and either the special notice effect or the special notice effect is executed. It is constructed so that the degree of expectation for a big hit is higher when the game is played (especially when the special notice effect is executed rather than the special notice effect). With such a configuration, attention is drawn to which of the special notice effect and the special notice effect is executed before the execution of the super reach, and furthermore, depending on which of the special notice effect and the special notice effect is executed It is possible to make the appearance of super reach different, and to enhance the amusement of the game.

Also, in this example, when the special notice effect is executed, a special display (in this example, the second mini character 004IWC04) can be displayed along with the ready-to-win decoration pattern (for example, corresponding to FIG. 8-33 (7) part), when the special notice effect is executed, the decoration pattern of the ready-to-win mode is hidden, and a special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) can be displayed (for example, FIG. 8-35 (4 ). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the production effect of the special advance notice production.

Further, in this example, the special display is continuously displayed for a special period from the start of Super Reach (Super Reach B in this example) (for example, from the start of Super Reach B to the appearance of Character B). 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (10)), the special display (2nd mini character 004IWC04 in this example) is Super Reach (Super Reach B in this example). During execution, it is continuously displayed for a period shorter than the special period (for example, it is displayed for a period from the start of super reach B to before character B appears. The part corresponding to FIG. 8-34 (9) ). With such a configuration, the display period of the special display and the display period of the special display can be made different to increase the interest in the game.

In this example, a character related to super reach can be displayed as the effect display of super reach, and a special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) can be hidden in response to the action of the character. It is possible (for example, the display of the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b ends in response to the motion of the second teammate character 004IWC02 landing on the ground. The portion corresponding to FIG. 8-36 (10)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate successively executed effects and mutually improve the effects of the effects.

Further, in this example, when the special notice effect is executed before the execution of the long reach, the special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) is displayed along with the execution of the special notice effect. Executed later (for example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed (FIG. 8-30 (5)), and then long reach is started (FIG. 8-30 (8))). Then, the special display is continuously displayed for a predetermined period after the long reach is started (for example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed until the timing of FIG. 8-31 (13) when the long reach ends). . On the other hand, when the special notice effect is executed before the execution of super reach, the special display is continuously displayed for a period shorter than the predetermined period after the start of super reach (for example, super reach B The unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed from the start until the second ally character 004IWC02 appears (portions corresponding to FIGS. 8-35(7) to 8-36(10)). With such a configuration, it is possible to change the display period of the special display according to the effect executed after the special advance notice effect, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

Also, in this example, during the execution period of the long reach, it is possible to execute the back button effect over a special period shorter than a predetermined period after the start of the long reach (for example, until just before the final fanning part of the long reach) A button effect (a effect in which the mode of lamp light emission steps up according to the degree of expectation by repeated or long presses can be executed), a special notice effect is executed, and then long reach is executed, It is possible to hide the special display (the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b in this example) when the back button effect is executed (for example, the portion corresponding to FIG. 8-32(3)). With such a configuration, it is possible to improve amusement in the game.

Also, in this example, the special notice effect or the special notice effect can be executed after the development notice effect is started, and the special notice effect is started after the end of the development notice effect (for example, FIG. 8-6 (A) (see FIG. 8-6(B)), the special advance notice effect is started before the end of the advanced notice effect (for example, see FIG. 8-6(B)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the start timing different for each performance, and to improve interest.

Also, in this example, when the development notice effect is executed, the development display (in this example, the first mini-character 004IWC03) can be displayed. Executed later (see, for example, FIGS. 8-3, 8-13 to 8-14), and when a special display (second mini character 004IWC04 in this example) is displayed in super reach, develop in super reach When the display is restricted (for example, see FIGS. 8-33 to 8-34) and a special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b in this example) is displayed in super reach, in the super reach The expanded view is restricted from being displayed (see, eg, FIGS. 8-35 to 8-36). With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the production from becoming complicated.

Further, in this example, the glass fragment image 004IWG05a accompanying the display of the glass image 004IWG05 and the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b is displayed more than the fragment image 004IWG01a of the central decoration pattern accompanying the display of the central decoration pattern (for example, FIG. 8-35 (4), see FIG. 8-39), the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration design displayed when the first middle decoration design (for example, the middle decoration design "4") is displayed; The fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration pattern that is displayed when the second middle decoration pattern (for example, the middle decoration pattern "1") is displayed is different from the fragment image 004IWG01a when displayed (for example, the fragment They differ in color, shape, number, and how they scatter (see Fig. 8-39). With such a configuration, the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration pattern and the fragment image 004IWG05a of the glass enhance the effect of the super reach and the special notice production, and furthermore, when the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration pattern is displayed By making the presentation different from the presentation when the broken glass image 004IWG05a is displayed, the amusement of the game can be enhanced.

Further, in this example, the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration design is displayed over the first period, and the fragment image 004IWG05a of the glass is displayed over the second period, which is shorter than the first period. For example, the moving display of the glass fragment image 004IWG05a is faster than the moving display of the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration design, and the period of staying in the screen is short (the part corresponding to FIG. 8-16 (24) and the part corresponding to FIG. 8 -35(4)). With such a configuration, the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration pattern and the fragment image 004IWG05a of the glass are displayed in different periods, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

In addition, in this example, it is possible to display a super reach effect display (for example, a background image of super reach B) along with the middle decoration pattern, and display a super reach effect display (for example, a background image of super reach B) together with the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b. ) can be displayed, and the middle decoration pattern can be displayed with a higher display priority than the super reach effect display (for example, the middle decoration pattern 004IWG01 has a higher display priority than the background image of super reach and is placed in the upper layer is displayed), and the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b can be displayed with a higher display priority than the super reach effect display (for example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b has a higher display priority than the background image of super reach B and is higher than the background image of super reach B. layer), the effect display of super reach is invisible through the middle decoration pattern, while the effect display of a predetermined effect is visible through the unbroken glass image (for example, FIG. 8-15 (19) 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (9), while the background image is invisible through the middle decoration pattern 004IWG01 as shown in (23), the background is visible through the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b as shown in FIGS. 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (9) image is visible). With such a configuration, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b can provide variation in how to show the effect display of super ready-to-win, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

Also, in this example, a character related to Super Reach (for example, a second ally character 004IWC02) can be displayed as an effect display of Super Reach. is displayed. Specifically, when the second teammate character 004IWC02 hits the center decoration design, the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration design is displayed (see FIGS. 8-15 (23) and 8-38). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the performance effect by making the performance display more relevant.

Also, in this example, when super ready-to-win is executed without executing the special notice effect, a plurality of decoration patterns in ready-to-win mode can be displayed from the start of super ready-to-win (for example, FIG. 8-14 (9) ), when the special notice effect is executed and super ready-to-win is executed, a plurality of ready-to-reach modes are displayed after a predetermined period of time (for example, the period until the second ally character 004IWC02 appears) after the start of super ready-to-win. can be displayed (for example, parts corresponding to FIGS. 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (11)). With such a configuration, it is possible to change the effect mode depending on the presence or absence of the special advance notice effect, thereby improving the interest.

Also, in this example, as the effect display of the special notice effect, the spear image 004IWG04 can be displayed before the special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) is displayed, and the spear image 004IWG04 is displayed at the first display position (in this example, It is possible to move and display the spear image 004IWG04 from the lower right position of the screen toward the second display position (the center position of the screen in this example), and when displaying the spear image 004IWG04 at the first display position, a special display is displayed It is possible to display a suggestive display (for example, a black background image) suggesting that the spear image 004IWG04 is displayed at the second display position, and it is possible to display a broken glass image 004IWG05a and a broken glass image 004IWG05b. (for example, portions corresponding to (2) to (4) in FIG. 8-35). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Further, in this example, even when the special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) is not displayed, the glass fragment image 004IWG05a can be displayed (for example, the portion corresponding to FIG. 8-36 (10)). . With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Also, in this example, a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a can be displayed, each of which has a different display mode (see, for example, FIG. 8-35(4)). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Also, in this example, the special notice effect consists of the first part (for example, the part where the spear image 004IWG04 and the glass image 004IWG05 are displayed) and the second part (for example, the spear image 004IWG04 disappears, and the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b continues. ), and in the first part, the first special display (in this example, the spear image 004IWG04) and the second special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) can be displayed. and in the first part, accompanying the display of the second special display, a special related display imitating at least a part of the second special display (glass fragment image 004IWG05a in this example) can be displayed. , in the second part, while the first special display is hidden, the second special display can be continuously displayed (for example, corresponding to FIGS. 8-35 (7) to 8-36 (9) part), and in the second part, a special related display can be displayed at the timing when the second part ends (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-36 (10)), and the first part and the second part , the mode of the special related display displayed is different (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (4) and the part corresponding to FIG. 8-36 (10)), and the special related display is displayed in the first part. It is possible to perform light emission control of the decorative light emitter with different light emission patterns depending on when the special related display is displayed in the second part (for example, corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (4) part and the part corresponding to Fig. 8-36 (10) (See Fig. 8-6 (B) *1 *2). With such a configuration, the effect of the special notice performance is enhanced by the special relation display, and furthermore, the light emission patterns when the special relation display is displayed are made different between the first part and the second part of the special notice performance. Therefore, the amusement of the game can be enhanced.

Also, in this example, the execution period of the special notice effect overlaps at least a part of the execution period of the super reach (see, for example, FIG. ) is displayed corresponding to the action of the character (spear image 004IWG04 in this example) related to the special notice effect in the first part of the special notice effect (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (4)). , in the second effect part of the special notice effect, it is displayed corresponding to the action of the character (in this example, the second ally character 004IWC02) related to Super Reach (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-36 (10) ). With such a configuration, the display pattern of the special related display (the glass fragment image 004IWG05a in this example) is made different between the first part and the second part of the special notice effect, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

Further, in this example, in the first part of the special notice effect, it is possible to move and display the special related display (in this example, the glass fragment image 004IWG05a) at the first speed (for example, FIG. 8-35 (4) ), and in the second effect part, it is possible to move and display the special related display at a second speed different from the first speed (for example, a speed slower than the first speed) (for example, FIG. 8 -36(10)). With such a configuration, the first part and the second part of the special notice effect can be shown in different ways to show the special related display, thereby increasing the amusement of the game.

Also, in this example, either super reach A or super reach B can be executed after the execution of the special notice effect, and the execution period of the special notice effect is the execution period of super reach A or the execution period of super reach B. (For example, see FIG. 8-6 (B)), the special related display (in this example, the glass fragment image 004IWG05a) is a special character (this In the example, it is displayed corresponding to the action of the spear image 004IWG04) (for example, the part corresponding to FIG. 8-35 (4)), and in the second part of the special notice effect, the first ally character 004IWC01 related to Super Reach A Alternatively, it is displayed corresponding to the action of the second teammate character 004IWC02 related to Super Reach B (for example, the portion corresponding to (10) in FIG. 8-36). With such a configuration, the special advance notice effect can be associated with the super reach A or the super reach B, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced with each other.

Further, in this example, a plurality of special related displays (glass fragment image 004IWG05a in this example) can be displayed in the first part of the special notice effect, and a plurality of special related displays can be displayed in the second part. The first special relation display and the second special relation display among the plurality of special relation displays displayed in the first part have different display modes, and the third special relation display among the plurality of special relation displays displayed in the second part. The display mode differs between the display and the fourth special related display. The display mode of the special related display differs from the display mode of the third special related display and also differs from the display mode of the fourth special related display. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-35(4) and 8-36(10), a plurality of glass fragment images 004IWG05a are displayed in both cases, but each mode is different. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the production effect of the special related display.

Note that the special display (in this example, the second mini-character 004IWC04) is non-stereoscopic (2D) display (for example, non-stereoscopic display is performed). ), the special display (in this example, the unbroken glass image 004IWG05b) may be a stereoscopic (3D) display (for example, a stereoscopic display may be performed). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the performance mode different and improve the interest.

Further, for example, the special notice effect includes a first mode suggesting that super reach B will be executed (for example, a mode in which the second ally character 004IWC02 appears) and a second mode suggesting that super reach A will be executed. mode (for example, a mode in which the first teammate character 004IWC01 appears), and when the first mode special notice effect is executed and when the second mode special notice effect is executed, A special display of a common aspect may be made displayable. For example, a common second mini-character 004IWC04 may be displayed both when the first ally character 004IWC01 appears and when the second ally character 004IWC02 appears as a special announcement effect. With such a configuration, it is possible to execute various special announcement effects, and to improve interest.

Further, for example, both the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern and the fragment image 004IWG05a of the glass may be displayed in stereoscopic (3D). For example, it may be possible to display an expression that looks three-dimensional. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Further, for example, the fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration pattern and the fragment image 004IWG05a of the glass may be moved and displayed in a predetermined direction (for example, Z-axis direction). For example, an expression may be displayed that moves in the depth direction from the front side of the screen. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Further, for example, it is possible to move and display the fragment image 004IWG01a of the middle decoration design toward a predetermined direction (for example, the Z-axis direction) at a normal speed. The fragment image 004IWG01a may be moved and displayed in a predetermined direction at a speed slower than the normal speed. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Also, for example, the special related display (glass fragment image 004IWG05a in this example) is displayed stereoscopically (e.g., 3D) in both the first part and the second part (e.g., a three-dimensional representation display). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

Further, for example, in the first part of the special notice effect, it is possible to move and display the special related display (in this example, the glass fragment image 004IWG05a) in the first direction (for example, the Z-axis direction) (for example, Displaying an expression that moves in the depth direction from the front side of the screen), and in the second part, moving and displaying the special related display in a second direction (for example, the Y axis direction) different from the first direction. (for example, an expression that moves in the vertical direction may be displayed). With such a configuration, it is possible to change the display of the special related display and enhance the interest in the game.

Also, for example, the spear image 004IWG04 displayed in the first part of the special notice effect may be faster than the ally character displayed in the first part, or may be displayed in the first part of the special notice effect. The special related display displayed in the second part of the special advance notice effect may be displayed more vigorously (displayed at a faster moving speed) than the special related display displayed in the second part of the special advance notice effect. With such a configuration, it is possible to change the display of the special related display and enhance the interest in the game.

Here, light effect drawing including whiteout in the image display device 5 referred to in FIGS. 8-7(3), 8-13(3), 8-19(3), and 8-29(3) The function will be explained based on the principle diagrams of FIGS. 8-40 to 11-46.

First, the display control unit 123, as shown in FIG. A second decorative design drawing surface (virtual plane) on which the decorative design 037SG105C is drawn is provided in the virtual space. By sequentially changing downward in the direction (Y direction), the variable display image of the decoration pattern is drawn.

As shown in FIG. 8-40(A), the first decorative design drawing surface and the second decorative design drawing surface are closer to the virtual depth Z0 in the second decorative design drawing surface than in the first decorative design drawing surface. is positioned forward by an imaginary distance of Therefore, if the central decorative pattern 037SG105C and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or the left decorative pattern 037SG105L are displayed overlappingly, the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or the left decorative pattern 037SG105L is visually recognized by the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. is blocked. Also, when the decorative patterns of the same size as the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L are drawn on the second decorative pattern drawing surface, only the central decorative pattern 037SG105C becomes larger and three decorative patterns are aligned. However, in this example, in order to prevent such unnatural display, the second decoration pattern is arranged so that the sizes of the three decoration patterns are almost the same. The size of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C drawn on the pattern drawing surface is adjusted and drawn.

Therefore, the display control unit 123 can calculate the position of each decorative design in the virtual space from the first decorative design drawing surface or the second decorative design drawing surface and the drawing position of each decorative design on each of these drawing screens. .

Therefore, when actually using the lighting effect drawing function, for example, as shown in FIG. The display control unit 123 automatically draws and displays a simulated lighting effect image when the single light source 037SG105K is positioned at (X1, Y1, Z1).

The X coordinate corresponds to the horizontal position of the image display device 5, the Y coordinate corresponds to the vertical position of the image display device 5, and the Z direction corresponds to the front-back direction (depth direction) in the virtual space. It corresponds to the position (see Figure 8-40).

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-40(A), in a state in which three decorative patterns are arranged in the central position of the image display device 5, the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K are the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. When the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) of the position directly behind the first decoration design drawing surface and Z1 away from the back are specified, the specified coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) in the virtual space In the situation where the single light source is arranged, the single light source 037SG105K emits light based on the positional relationship between the position of the single light source 037SG105K and each decorative design drawn on the first decorative design drawing surface or the second decorative design drawing surface. How the light is blocked by each decorative pattern and how it wraps around to the front side of each decorative pattern is simulated as shown by the dashed line in Fig. 8-40(A). As a result, as shown in FIG. 8-40(B), a light emission effect image 037SG105E is drawn and displayed, in which radial light is seen slightly from the periphery of the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. X2, Y1, Z1), that is, when the coordinate horizontally moved to the left from the above-described coordinate (X1, Y1, Z1) is designated, as shown in FIG. Since the surface distance is Z1, as in the case shown in FIG. 8-40, a luminous effect image 037SG105E is drawn in which a slight radial light is visible from the periphery of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L, as in FIG. 8-40. displayed. The light emission effect image 037SG105E is a light emission effect image 037SG105E in which the closer to the center the brightness is higher and the closer to the edge the brightness is lowered, and the size of the entire image (distance from the center of the effect to the outer edge of the effect) has almost the same size as the light emission effect image 037SG105E in FIG.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 8-42(A), the coordinates of the position directly above the central decorative pattern 037SG105C and away from the first decorative pattern drawing surface by Z1. (X1, Y2, Z1), in other words, when the above-mentioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are vertically moved upward, the center decoration is displayed as shown in FIG. A light emission effect image 037SG105E is drawn and displayed, showing a state in which the light emitted from the single light source 037SG105K is visible without being blocked by the pattern 037SG105C. The light emission effect image 037SG105E is a light emission effect image 037SG105E in which the closer to the center the brightness is higher and the closer to the edge the brightness is lowered, and the size of the entire image (distance from the center of the effect to the outer edge of the effect) has almost the same size as the light emission effect image 037SG105E in FIG.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. (X1, Y1, Z2), that is, if the above coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are moved closer to the central decorative pattern 037SG105C without changing the vertical and horizontal positions, the As shown in 8-43(B), the entire image is a light emission effect image 037SG105E larger than when the distance from the first decorative design drawing surface is Z1, and the single light source 037SG105K is the left decorative design 037SG105L. By approaching the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the light wraps around in front of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, making the contours unclear, while the single light source 037SG105K is positioned directly behind. As for the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, which has a greater distance from the single light source 037SG105K than the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the light emission effect image 037SG105E has a clear contour with less wraparound to the front. is drawn and displayed. Note that the overall luminance of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is also higher than that of the light emission effect image 037SG105E when the Z coordinate is Z1 due to the approach of the single light source 037SG105K.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. When the coordinates (X1, Y1, -Z3) of a position Z3 away from the front are specified, as shown in Fig. 8-44(B), the left, middle, and right decorative patterns radiate from the single light source 037SG105K. The light emission effect image 037SG105E, which does not block strong light and has a large overall image size and extremely high luminance, is drawn and displayed in substantially the entire display area of the image display device 5. be done. At this time, the left, middle, and right decoration patterns arranged behind the single light source 037SG105K are all invisible due to the light emission effect image.

As described above, in this example, by specifying the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, the lighting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the specified coordinates is automatically drawn by the lighting effect drawing function of the display control unit 123. By sequentially changing (moving) these specified coordinates in chronological order, a lighting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the movement of the single light source is drawn and displayed. However, even if the specified coordinates are the same, these light emission effect drawing functions, as shown in FIG. It is possible to draw and display a lighting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the downward scroll movement of the 037SG105C by variable display.

Specifically, when the central decorative pattern 037SG105C scrolling is drawn at a position overlapping the single light source, the light from the single light source illuminates the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, as shown in FIG. 8-45(B). When the shielded light effect image (similar to FIG. 8-40 (B)) is drawn and displayed, and the scrolling center decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn at a position that does not overlap the single light source 037SG105K, As shown in 45(C), a light emission effect image is drawn and displayed so that the light emitted from the single light source can be visually recognized without being blocked by the decoration pattern 037SG105C in the center. 8-45, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C was explained as an example, but the same applies to the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L.

As described above, in the highly functional display control unit 123 used in this example, by specifying the coordinates of the single light source in the virtual space, the light emission effect image 037SG105E when the single light source 037SG105K is positioned at the specified coordinates is displayed. is automatically generated and displayed, in the actual production, the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K at the time the process data is executed are added to the process data described in chronological order for executing the production. By doing so, a light emission effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K described in the process data is automatically generated and displayed on the image display device 5 after being synthesized with another effect image. will be

Next, the display mode of the variable display and light emission effect image 037SG105E in this example will be described based on FIG. 8-46.

First, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of super reach, etc., as shown in FIGS. On the display screen of the image display device 5, when the normal background image 5a is displayed, the left decoration symbol 037SG105L and the right decoration symbol 037SG105R indicating the same number stop and become ready. Then, the display of the luminous effect image 037SG105E is started behind the central decoration pattern 037SG105C which is still being displayed in a variable manner. As the variable display progresses, the light emission effect image 037SG105E gradually expands in display area on the display screen of the image display device 5 and increases in luminance.

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 8-46(C) and 8-46(D), between a plurality of central decoration patterns 037SG105C in which variable display is performed, part of the light emission effect image 037SG105E The central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed (variably displayed) moving from the top to the bottom, so that the display mode changes according to the progress of the variable display.

Furthermore, a part of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is divided between the plurality of central decorative patterns 037SG105C, between the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, and between the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. The top and bottom of each center 037SG105C, the right of the left 037SG105L, the left of the right 037SG105R, as if diffracting between and reflecting off the back of the 037SG105C center 037SG105C. displayed in duplicate.

In addition, as the variable display progresses and the display area of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the image display device 5 is expanded and the luminance increases, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D in each of the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R changes to the light emitting effect. The brightness decreases due to the backlight by the image 037SG105E, and then the brightness of the number display portions 037SG105S in the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R decreases. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-46(E), when the light emission effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is further enlarged, finally the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105SGC, and 037SG105R are entirely blackened. As a result, the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S become invisible to the player.

More precisely, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed behind the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, first, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern are displayed. As the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D of the pattern 037SG105R decreases, the contours of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are emphasized by the light emission effect image 037SG105E. Furthermore, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is enlarged to the left side of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and to the right side of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the numerical display portions 037SG105S of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R is increased. As it decreases, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R change to black, and the pedestal part 037SG105D of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases in brightness, and the outline of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C has a light emitting effect. It is now highlighted by image 037SG105E. Then, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is further enlarged and displayed in substantially the entire display area, the brightness of the number display portion 037SG105S of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases, and the entire central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed. turns black.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8-46(F), when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entire display screen of the image display device 5 in accordance with the progress of the variable display, each image that has been displayed up to that point is displayed. The decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a are temporarily invisible to the player.

As described above, the characterizing portion 004IW discloses the following configuration of the gaming machine.

The gaming machine disclosed in the characteristic part 004IW is a gaming machine that can perform variable display of special identification information (for example, special symbols) and can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big win game state) for the player. a variable display executing means capable of variably displaying a plurality of decoration identification information (for example, decorative patterns) in correspondence with the variable display of the special identification information; and a specific display as a result of the variable display of the plurality of decoration identification information. When a result (for example, a jackpot pattern) is displayed, an advantageous state control means capable of controlling to an advantageous state and a predetermined effect (for example, Super Reach B) for informing whether or not to be controlled to an advantageous state can be executed. and, during the execution of the predetermined effect, the decoration identification information excluding the specific decoration identification information (for example, the middle decoration pattern) among the plurality of decoration identification information is temporarily stopped in a ready-to-win mode, The specific ornament identification information is displayed in correspondence with the effect display of the predetermined effect (for example, the effect image such as the battle effect related to Super Reach B), and the mode of the specific decoration identification information is the normal mode and the normal mode. A changeable special aspect (for example, a destroyed aspect; see FIG. 8-16 (24)) and a special aspect that is an aspect that can be changed from the normal aspect and is an aspect before changing to the special aspect (for example, , a cracked aspect (see FIG. 8-15 (23)), and the specific decoration identification information displayed during the execution of the predetermined effect changes from the normal aspect to the special aspect in response to the effect display of the predetermined effect. It is changeable and can be changed from a special mode to a special mode, and when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode and then to the special mode during execution of the predetermined performance, the specific display result can be displayed. (for example, the part corresponding to FIGS. 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (30)), and the first specific decoration identification information (for example, the middle decoration pattern “2”) during the execution of the predetermined effect A light emitting means (for example , game effect lamps 9, and decorative light emitters such as decorative LEDs) can be controlled. With such a configuration, by changing the aspect of the specific decoration identification information in correspondence with the effect display of the predetermined effect, the presence of the effect can be enhanced, and the game interest can be improved. Furthermore, by sharing the light emission control during the predetermined effect, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data.

Further, the characterizing portion 004IW discloses the configuration of the game machine shown in (means 1) to (means 17) shown below.

(Means 1) It is possible to display a plurality of types of specific decoration identification information (for example, center decoration patterns from "1" to "9") during execution of a predetermined effect, and to display a first specific decoration during execution of a predetermined effect. When a specific display result (for example, a jackpot pattern "222") including identification information (for example, a middle decoration pattern "2") is displayed, a second display is displayed before the first specific decoration identification information. The specific decoration identification information (for example, the middle decoration pattern "1") can be changed from the normal mode to the special mode over a predetermined period, and the third specific decoration identification information displayed before the second specific decoration identification information The specific decoration identification information (for example, the middle decoration pattern “9”) can change from a normal mode to a special mode over a specific period shorter than a predetermined period (for example, the final middle decoration pattern stop fan effect (figure 8-15 (20) to FIG. 8-16 (24)) has a longer production period than the center decoration symbol stop fanning production (FIGS. 8-14 (14) to (15)) immediately before the end). With such a configuration, the period required for the specific decoration identification information to change from the normal mode to the special mode can be varied, and the effect of the predetermined presentation can be enhanced.

(Means 2) In means 1, the predetermined effect is a first predetermined part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and the fanning part of Super Reach B) and a second predetermined part (for example, the final fanning part of Super Reach B and 2nd part including the success/failure notification unit), the specific display result can be displayed in the second predetermined part (see, for example, FIGS. 8-3 and 8-16), and the first specific decoration identification information (for example, , center decoration symbol “2”) (for example, jackpot symbol “222”) is displayed, second specific decoration identification information (for example, center decoration symbol "1") becomes a special mode, the first specific decoration identification information is displayed in an enlarged mode with higher visibility than the normal mode (see, for example, FIGS. 8-16 (24) to (30). As shown in FIG. 8-16 (30), the jackpot pattern "222" including the center decoration pattern "2" is enlarged and displayed). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presentation effect when the specific display result is displayed.

In means 1 or 2, the special mode is a mode in which the visibility of the specific decoration identification information is lower than in the normal mode (for example, the middle decoration pattern "1" shown in FIG. 8-15 (23) is cracked mode), the special mode is a mode in which the visibility of the specific decoration identification information is lower than the normal mode and the special mode (for example, the middle decoration pattern "1" shown in Fig. 8-16 (24) is destroyed mode), and after the second specific decoration identification information (for example, center decoration pattern "1") is in a special mode, the first specific decoration identification information (for example, center decoration pattern "2") is displayed in a normal mode. (See, for example, FIGS. 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (25)). With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to visually recognize the specific decoration identification information displayed after the special mode is entered.

In means 1 or 2, a predetermined character (for example, a second ally character 004IWC02) related to the predetermined effect can be displayed as the effect display of the predetermined effect, and the action (for example, attack action) of the predetermined character can be displayed. 8-15 (20) to 8-16 (24) for example). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate the action of the predetermined character with the change in the mode of the specific decoration identification information, thereby enhancing the presentation effect.

In the means 1 or 2, when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode and then to the normal mode again during execution of the predetermined effect, it is notified that the specific display result is not displayed (for example, , Figures 8-15 (23) and Figures 8-18 (35) to (40)). With such a configuration, it is possible to associate a change in the mode of the specific decoration identification information with whether or not the specific display result is displayed, thereby enhancing the presentation effect.

In the means 1 or 2, the specific decoration identification information changed from the normal mode to the special mode during the execution of the second predetermined part is changed from the special mode to the special mode after that, the specific decoration identification It is possible to display related displays associated with information changes (for example, fragment image 004IWG01a of the center decoration design) (see, for example, FIGS. 8-15 (23) and 8-38). With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the presence of the production.

In means 1 or 2, the specific decoration identification information changed from the normal mode to the special mode during execution of the second predetermined part is controlled to be in an advantageous state during the period until the special mode changes to the special mode. It is possible to execute a cut-in effect suggesting that the 8-15 (21 ) to Figure 8-16 (24)). With such a configuration, it is possible to effectively liven up the presentation.

In the means 1 or 2, it is possible to execute a specific effect (for example, super reach A) that is different from the predetermined effect and notifies whether or not the control is to be in an advantageous state, and the predetermined effect is executed. The rate of being controlled to an advantageous state is higher than when the specific effect is executed (see, for example, FIG. 8-1 (B)), and during the execution of the specific effect, among the plurality of decoration identification information The decoration identification information excluding the specific decoration identification information (for example, the middle decoration pattern) is temporarily stopped in the ready-to-win mode, and the specific decoration identification information is displayed for a specific production (for example, a production image such as a battle production related to super reach A). , and the aspect of the specific decoration identification information displayed during execution of the specific effect is a normal aspect and a special aspect that can be changed from the normal aspect (for example, a destroyed aspect. Fig. 8-12 (34)) and a special mode that is a mode that can be changed from a normal mode and is a mode before changing to a special mode (for example, a cracked mode. See FIG. 8-9 (20)), The specific decoration identification information displayed during execution of the specific effect can change from a normal mode to a special mode, can change from a special mode to a special mode, and can change from a special mode to It is possible to change to the normal mode, and when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode during the execution of the specific effect and then changes to the normal mode again, the specific display result can be displayed (for example, 8-9 (22) to FIG. 8-10 (30)), when the specific display result is displayed during execution of the predetermined effect, and when the specific display result is displayed during execution of the specific effect, It is possible to control the light emission of the light emitting means (for example, the game effect lamp 9 and decorative light emitters such as decorative LEDs) using a common light emission pattern (for example, a rainbow-colored light emission pattern) (see, for example, FIG. 8-3). ).

In means 1 or 2, a predetermined character (for example, a second teammate character 004IWC02) related to the predetermined effect can be displayed as the effect display of the predetermined effect, and a specific character related to the specific effect can be displayed as the effect display of the specific effect. (For example, the first ally character 004IWC01) can be displayed, and during execution of a predetermined effect, the mode of the specific decoration identification information can be changed (for example, 8-15 (20) to 8-16 (24)), during the execution of the specific effect, the mode of the specific decoration identification information changes in response to the action of the specific character (for example, attack action and defense action). It is possible (see, for example, FIGS. 8-8 (14) to 8-8 (15), FIGS. 8-9 (22) to 8-10 (23), and FIG. 8-12 (34)). With such a configuration, it is possible to diversify the production and improve the entertainment.

In means 1 or 2, the predetermined effect is a first predetermined part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and the fanning part of Super Reach B) and a second predetermined part (for example, the final fanning part of Super Reach B and whether or not The second part including the notification part), and the specific production includes the first specific part (e.g., the first part including the introduction part and the fanning part of Super Reach A) and the second specific part (e.g., Super Reach A The second part including the final fanning part and the win/fail notification part), and the specific display result can be displayed in the second predetermined part (see, for example, FIGS. 8-3 and 8-16), and in the second specific part A specific display result can be displayed (see, for example, FIGS. 8-3 and 8-10), and when the specific decoration identification information changes from a normal mode to a special mode during execution of the second predetermined part, the production progresses. It is possible to execute a progress speed change effect (for example, slow motion effect) in which the speed is changed from a normal speed to a special speed slower than the normal speed (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (23), the progress speed of the effect is lowering portion), and when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode during the execution of the second specific part, the progress speed change effect can be executed (for example, shown in FIG. 8-9 (22) The execution period of the progress speed change effect is a common length for the predetermined effect and the specific effect (for example, both are performed for 3 seconds). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the presentation easier to understand while changing the content of the presentation.

In means 1 or 2, the predetermined effect is a first predetermined part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and the fanning part of Super Reach B) and a second predetermined part (for example, the final fanning part of Super Reach B and whether or not The second part including the notification part), and the specific effect is composed of the first specific part (for example, the first part including the introduction part and the fanning part of Super Reach A) and the second specific part (for example, Super Reach A and the second part including the final fanning part and the win/fail notification part), and during the execution of the second predetermined part, when the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode and then to the normal mode again , it is suggested that the specific display result is not displayed (for example, the part corresponding to (35) to (38) in FIG. 8-18), and during the execution of the second specific part, the specific decoration identification information changes from the normal mode to the special mode When it changes to a special mode after becoming, it is suggested that the specific display result is not displayed (for example, the part corresponding to (34) to (37) in FIG. 8-12), and during the execution of the second predetermined part When the specific decoration identification information is displayed again in the normal mode and when the specific decoration identification information is displayed in the special mode during execution of the second specific part, a common light emission mode (for example, low-luminance white light emission It is possible to control the light emission of the light emitting means (for example, the game effect lamp 9 and decorative light emitters such as decorative LEDs) according to the patterns (see, for example, FIG. 8-4). With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of control data by standardizing the light emission control while providing various ways of enjoying the effects by varying the contents of the effects.

(Means 3) Predetermined effects (for example, Super Reach B) for notifying whether or not control is to be performed in an advantageous state, and special effects (for example, Super Reach C) for notifying whether or not to be controlled in an advantageous state. Either can be executed, and when the special effect is executed, the ratio of being controlled to an advantageous state is higher than when the predetermined effect is executed (for example, see FIG. 8-1 (B)), During the execution of the predetermined effect, the decoration identification information excluding the specific decoration identification information (for example, the middle decoration pattern) among the plurality of decoration identification information is temporarily stopped in the ready-to-win mode, and the predetermined effect is displayed (for example, When the specific decoration identification information is displayed corresponding to the performance image such as the battle performance related to the super reach B) and it is notified that the control is performed in an advantageous state during the execution of the special performance, the plurality of decoration identifications are displayed. The decoration identification information excluding the specific decoration identification information among the information is temporarily stopped in a ready-to-win mode, the specific decoration identification information is displayed when the specific display result is displayed, and is displayed during the execution of the predetermined presentation. The aspect of the specific decoration identification information is a normal aspect, a special aspect that can be changed from the normal aspect (for example, a destroyed aspect. See FIG. 8-16 (24)), and a special aspect that can be changed from the normal aspect. The specific decoration identification information displayed during the execution of the predetermined effect includes the special mode (for example, the cracked mode, see FIG. 8-15 (23)) that is the mode before changing to the mode. The normal mode can be changed to the special mode in response to the effect display, and the special mode can be changed to the special mode, and during execution of the predetermined effect, the special decoration identification information is changed from the normal mode to the special mode. 8-15 (23) to 8-16 (30)). can display a specific display result without changing to either a special mode or a special mode (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-20 (9) to 8-23 (36), the middle decoration pattern The jackpot symbol "111" is displayed without execution of an effect that changes the mode), when a specific display result is displayed during execution of a predetermined effect, and when a specific display result is displayed during execution of a special effect. At times, it is possible to control the light emission of the light emitting means (for example, the game effect lamp 9 and decorative light emitters such as decorative LEDs) using a common light emission mode (for example, a rainbow light emission pattern) (for example, (see Figure 8-3). With such a configuration, it is possible to execute a predetermined effect of informing whether or not to be controlled to an advantageous state by changing the aspect of the specific decoration identification information, and at the same time, it is advantageous without changing the aspect of the specific decoration identification information. By making it possible to execute a special performance for informing whether or not to be controlled to a state, variations are given to how to show the performance to increase the interest in the game, and furthermore, the light emission control is made common between the predetermined performance and the special performance.
