Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to a player.

As a game machine, a game ball, which is a game medium, is fired into a game area by a firing device, and when the game ball enters a prize area such as a prize opening provided in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player. There are things that can be done. Furthermore, a variable display device capable of variable display (also referred to as "fluctuation") of identification information is provided, and when the display result of the variable display of identification information on the variable display device becomes a specific display result, the gaming state (game There are machines (so-called pachinko machines) that are configured to give a predetermined gaming value to the player by changing the state of the machine (specifically, the state in which the gaming machine is controlled).

Note that gaming value refers to the state of the variable winning ball device installed in the gaming area of the gaming machine that is advantageous to the player who is likely to hit a winning ball, or the state that is advantageous to the player. This means that rights are generated, and that the conditions for paying out prize balls are easily established.

In a pachinko game machine, a predetermined specific display mode is derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display of special symbols (identification information) that is started on the variable display device based on the winning of a game ball in the starting winning hole. A “jackpot” occurs when the Note that the derivation display means to finally stop and display the symbol (final stop symbol). When a jackpot occurs, for example, a jackpot opening is opened a predetermined number of times and the game enters a jackpot game state in which it is easy to hit a winning ball. Then, in each opening period, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prizes are won in the big winning hole, the big winning hole is closed. The number of times the big prize opening is opened is fixed to a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds). Note that 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 grand prize opening will be closed when the opening time has elapsed. Hereinafter, the opening period of each big prize opening may be referred to as a round. Moreover, a game in a round is sometimes called a round game.

In addition, in the variable display device, a symbol other than the final stop symbol (for example, the center symbol among the left center right symbols) is stopped and shaken continuously for a predetermined period of time in a state that matches a specific display result. The jackpot may occur before the final result is displayed due to movement, scaling, or deformation, or multiple symbols are changing synchronously with the same symbol, or the positions of the displayed symbols are swapped. A performance performed in a state where sex continues (hereinafter, these states are referred to as a reach state) is called a reach performance. In addition, the reach state and its appearance are called the reach mode. Furthermore, a variable display that includes a reach effect is referred to as a variable reach display. Then, if the display result of the symbols variably displayed on the variable display device is not a specific display result, it becomes a "miss" and the variable display state ends. A player plays a game while enjoying finding out how to generate a jackpot.

Some of such gaming machines are equipped with a motion detection means capable of detecting a player's motion, and execute a motion promotion effect that displays a motion promotion image that prompts the motion detection means to perform a motion. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a button effect notification that displays a button effect notification image (specifically, an animation image composed of a button image representing the effect button and a black cat image representing a black cat) that prompts an action to the effect button. It is stated that this is to be carried out.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-153923

However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, there are few variations in the performance that is executed before the movement promotion image (button performance notification image) is displayed by the movement promotion performance (button performance notification), and the player's movement Unable to sufficiently increase motivation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can sufficiently increase a player's motivation to perform actions when executing an action promotion effect.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, and includes a motion detection means that can detect the motion of the player, and a performance execution means that can execute a performance, The performance execution means is capable of executing a specific performance that suggests control to be in an advantageous state (for example, a second battle performance using Super Reach B), and prompts the motion detection means to perform an action during the execution period of the specific performance. An action promotion effect that displays an action promotion image (for example, a push button image 006IWG02 with the text "PUSH" displayed as an action promotion display) (for example, an action corresponding to the second battle deciding button effect (single press)) It is possible to execute a promotion effect or an action promotion effect corresponding to the second battle-determining button effect (repeated hits), and during the execution period of the specific effect, the first image (for example, A character display "ichi" or "ren" displayed as the first suggestion display) and a second image related to the first image (for example, a character display "sho" or "uchi" displayed as the second suggestion display) It is possible to execute a preliminary performance (for example, a pre-motion promotion performance) that indicates that the movement promotion performance will be executed by displaying the following, and when the movement promotion performance is executed during the execution period of the specific performance, the specific performance (For example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-10 (17) to 8-11 (21), Figures 8-10 (17) to (19), Figures 8-14 (44) to (45)) The first image is displayed after the scene shown in Figure 8-11 (24) to Figure 8-12 (28) is displayed, and then the second scene in the specific effect (for example, the scene shown in Figure 8-11 (24) to Figure 8-12 (28), or the scene shown in Figure 8-12) is displayed. 14 (48) to the scenes shown in FIG. 8-15 (52)), the second image is displayed, and then the motion promoting image is displayed (see FIG. 8-21).
According to such a configuration, the first image and the second image suggesting that the movement promotion effect is to be executed are displayed alternately with the scene of the specific effect, so that the linkage between the specific effect and the movement promotion effect is improved. It is possible to increase the player's motivation to make a motion with respect to the motion detection means.

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

(Configuration of pachinko machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1, showing the layout of the main components. A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a game board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes a game board surface, and a game machine frame (base frame) 3 that supports and fixes the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is fired from a predetermined ball launcher into this game area.

At a predetermined position on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the gaming area), a variable display (also referred to as a special game) of special symbols (also referred to as special symbols) as multiple types of special identification information is provided. 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 design may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

Note that "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, displaying a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). The variations include updated display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement/reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols described below, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns described below, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, or 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 the variable display of other symbols described later). Note that the variable display may be expressed as a variable display or fluctuation.

The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a “first special symbol”, and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a “second special symbol”. Further, a special map game using the first special map is also referred to as a "first special map game", and a special map game using the second special map is also referred to as a "second special map game". Note that there may be only one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of special symbols.

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), an organic EL (electro luminescence), or the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may include a projector and a screen. The image display device 5 displays various effect images.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special pattern game and the second special pattern game, decorative patterns (such as patterns showing numbers, etc.) as multiple types of decorative identification information different from the special pattern are displayed. A variable display is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, decorative figures are displayed variably (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 which are executed synchronously is collectively referred to as simply variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying a pending display corresponding to a variable display whose execution is pending, and an active display corresponding to a variable display currently being executed. The pending display and the active display are also collectively referred to as variable display compatible displays that correspond to variable displays.

The number of pending variable displays is also called the number of pending memories. The number of pending memories corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as the first number of pending memories, and the number of pending memories corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as the second number of pending memories. Further, the sum of the first number of pending memories and the second number of pending memories is also referred to as the total number of pending memories.

Furthermore, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided at predetermined positions on the game board 2. Accordingly, the first pending memory number is displayed, and the second pending display 25B displays the second pending memory number according to the number of LEDs lit.

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

The winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning hole that is always kept open to allow game balls to enter, for example, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of winning balls are paid out, and the first special symbol game can be started.

The variable prize winning ball device 6B (normal electric accessory) forms a second starting prize opening that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable prize winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in the OFF state, the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position, so that the tips of the movable wing pieces are comes close to the winning ball device 6A, and enters a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening enters a closed state). On the other hand, when the solenoid 81 is in the ON state, the movable wing pieces of the variable winning ball device 6B are in the tilted position, so that the variable winning ball device 6B enters an open state in which the game ball can enter the second starting winning hole (second starting winning ball). It is also said that the prize opening will be open.) When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of winning balls are paid out, and the second special symbol game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that can change between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to one that includes an electric tulip type accessory.

At predetermined positions on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four locations on the left and right lower sides of the game area), general winning holes 10 are provided which are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when entering any of the general winning holes 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

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

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning hole door (special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning hole door closes the big winning hole, and the game ball is You will not be able to enter (pass through) the prize opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning hole door is in the on state, the big winning hole door opens the big winning hole so that the game ball can easily enter the big winning hole. Become.

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

Entering the game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also referred to as "winning". In particular, winning in the 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 on the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the left side of the game area). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of a 7-segment LED, etc., and performs variable display of normal symbols as multiple types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off. This variable display of ordinary symbols is also called a ordinary symbol 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, a common figure game is executed.

A normal symbol holding display 25C is provided above the normal symbol display 20. The Fuzu-zu pending display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the Fuzu-zu pending storage number, which is the number of Fuzu games whose execution is pending, by the number of lit LEDs.

In addition to the above structure, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill that changes the downward direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the gaming area, there is provided an out opening into which game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings are taken in.

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

A movable body 32 is provided at a predetermined position on the game board 2 (not shown in FIG. 1), which operates according to the performance.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a ball-hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 is provided which is operated by a player or the like in order to fire a game ball toward a gaming area using a ball-launching device.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, game balls paid out as prize balls and game balls lent out by a predetermined ball rental machine are held (stored) so that they can be supplied to the batted ball firing device. ) is provided with a batted ball supply tray (upper tray). A batted ball supply tray (lower tray) is provided below the upper tray from which prize balls are dispensed when the upper tray 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 gaming area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed down 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 gaming area, a push button 31B is provided that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by pressing the button or the like. An operation on push button 31B is detected by push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

In the pachinko game machine 1, a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting a player's movement (operation, etc.), but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Summary of game progress)
When a player rotates a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1, a game ball is launched toward a game area. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, if the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during which the previous Fuzu game was being executed (the game ball passed through the passage gate 41, but the Fuzu game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately), , the game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this general pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (a pattern per normal pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes ``a common pattern hit''. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the regular symbol (ordinary symbol losing symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed ordinary symbol, the display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "ordinary symbol losing". When it becomes a "normal map hit", opening control is performed to keep the variable winning ball device 6B open for a predetermined period of time (the second starting winning opening is brought into the open state).

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

In addition, if the game ball enters the starting prize opening (wins) during the period when the special drawing game is being executed or during the period when it is controlled in the jackpot game state or small winning game state (described later) (the starting prize has occurred) If the special pattern game based on the starting prize cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special pattern game based on the entry is suspended until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special pattern game, if a specific special pattern (a jackpot pattern, e.g. "7", the actual pattern differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special pattern, it becomes a "jackpot" and the jackpot pattern If a predetermined special symbol (a small winning symbol, for example "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "small winning". Further, if a special symbol (a losing symbol, for example "-") different from the jackpot symbol or the small winning symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "loser".

After the display result in the special figure game becomes a "jackpot", the game is controlled to be in a jackpot game state as an advantageous state for the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes a "small win", the game is controlled to a 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 determined by the timing when a predetermined period of time (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) elapses, or the timing until the number of game balls that enter the grand prize opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9 balls). This will continue until the earliest of the two. The predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the big prize opening can be opened in one round, and hereinafter also referred to as the upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big prize opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeated until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 or 2 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can receive a prize ball by entering the game ball into the jackpot opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

In addition, the jackpot type is set in "Jackpot". For example, we prepare multiple types of opening modes for the jackpot (number of rounds and upper limit opening period) and gaming states after the jackpot gaming state (normal state, time-saving state, variable probability state, etc., described later), and the jackpot can be adjusted accordingly. 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 hardly any 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 manner. For example, in the small winning gaming state, the opening mode is the same as the jackpot gaming state for some jackpot types (the number of openings of the big winning opening is the same as the number of rounds above, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same). etc.), the big prize opening will be open. In addition, similar to the jackpot type, a small hit type may also be provided for "small hit".

After the jackpot gaming state ends, depending on the above-mentioned jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time-saving state, control (time-saving control) is executed to shorten the average special symbol variation time (period for varying the special symbol) compared to the normal state. In the short time state, by shortening the average fluctuation time (period for changing the general pattern) than in the normal state, and by increasing the probability of hitting the normal pattern in the general drawing game compared to the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second starting prize opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbol) is improved, so it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time saving control, variable probability control is executed in which the probability that the displayed result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state. The variable probability state is a state that is more advantageous to the player because it improves the efficiency of changing the special symbols and is also a state where it is easy to hit the jackpot.

The time saving state and the variable probability state continue until any one of the end conditions is met first, such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next jackpot game state. A condition where the termination condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also called number-cutting (number-cutting time reduction, number-cutting probability variable, etc.).

A normal state is a gaming 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, or a variable probability state, and the display result in the Fuzu game is "Fuzu hit". The pachinko game machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game will be a "jackpot", will be returned to the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when the system is reset, a predetermined return after power is turned on). This state is controlled in the same way as when no processing is executed).

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

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the display result of the special figure game continues to be controlled to the previous game state when it became a "small win" (However, if a "small win" occurs) If the special figure game of the hour is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above-mentioned number cut, the game state is naturally changed). It should be noted that the display result of the special figure game does not need to be a "small win".

Note that the gaming state may change based on the game ball passing through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot gaming state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, the control may be changed to a variable probability state after the jackpot game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko game machine 1, various effects (effects for notifying the progress of the game or for enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The performance will be explained below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and/or the game effect lamp 9 This may be done by turning on/off the light, moving the movable body 32, etc.

As a performance executed according to the progress of the game, the "left", "middle", "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the image display device 5 display the first special pattern game or the first special pattern display area 5L, 5C, and 5R. 2. Corresponding to the start of the special figure game, variable display of decorative symbols is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as a fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special pattern game or the second special pattern game, the fixed decorative pattern (a combination of three decorative patterns) that is the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern ) is also stopped and displayed (derived).

During the period from when the variable display of the decorative symbols starts until it ends, the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbols may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode refers to the variable display of decorative symbols that are not yet displayed while the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 form part of a jackpot combination that will be described later. This refers to the manner in which the situation continues.

Furthermore, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned ready-to-win mode being set during the variable display of the decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the percentage of display results (display results of special pattern games and display results of variable display of decorative symbols) becoming a "jackpot" (also referred to as jackpot reliability or jackpot expectation level) is determined depending on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of reach effects are executed. The reach performance includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has higher jackpot reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot", a fixed decorative pattern that becomes a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decorative pattern). The display result of the variable display of symbols is a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7", etc.) are all stopped and displayed on predetermined valid lines in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. .

In the case of a "probable variable jackpot" that is controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot gaming state, odd-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "7", etc.) are stopped and displayed, and the variable probability state is changed after the jackpot gaming state ends. In the case of an uncontrolled "uncertain variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6", etc.) may be stopped and displayed all together. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative patterns are also referred to as variable probability patterns, and the even-numbered decorative patterns are also referred to as non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After reaching the reach mode with non-probability variable symbols, a promotion performance that ultimately becomes a "probability variable jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game becomes a "small win", 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.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes a "small hit"). As an example, decorative symbols constituting a chance are displayed in a stopped state on predetermined active lines in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes a "jackpot" for some jackpot types (jackpot type in a jackpot game state in the same manner as the small win game state) and when it becomes a "small win". , a common determined decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

If the display result of the special pattern game is a "lose", the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern does not become the reach mode, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" ) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of decorative symbols may be "non-reach loss"). In addition, if the display result is a "lose", after the variable display mode of the decorative design becomes the reach mode, a predetermined reach combination that is not a jackpot combination ("reach loss") is displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol. The fixed decorative pattern (also referred to as "decorative pattern") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "reach loss").

The performances that can be performed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 also include displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (pending display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a preview effect that foretells the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The preview performance includes a preview performance that foretells the reliability of a jackpot in a variable display that is currently being executed, and a preview performance that foretells the reliability of a jackpot in a variable display before execution (a variable display whose execution is pending). As the pre-read preview performance, a performance that changes the display mode of the variable display compatible display (suspended display or active display) to a different mode than usual may be performed.

In addition, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative pattern during the variable display of the decorative pattern and then restarting the variable display, one variable display can be made to appear pseudo as multiple variable displays. A pseudo-continuous performance may also be executed.

Even during the jackpot game state, a jackpot performance for notifying the jackpot game state is executed. As the jackpot performance, a performance that notifies the number of rounds or a promotion performance that indicates that the value of the jackpot game state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small winning game state, a small winning performance for notifying the small winning gaming state is executed. In addition, the jackpot game during the small win game state and some jackpot types (jackpot type of the jackpot game state in the same manner as the small win game state, for example, the jackpot type that makes the subsequent gaming state a high probability state). By performing a common performance depending on the state, the player may not be able to tell whether the player is currently in a small win game state or a jackpot game state. In such a case, by executing a common performance after the end of the small win gaming state and after the end of the jackpot gaming state, it is possible to make it impossible to distinguish between a high probability state and a low probability state. It's okay.

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

At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (variation patterns described later, production control commands described later, data such as various tables referred to when making various decisions described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. . The RAM 102 serves as a backup RAM in which the stored contents are saved for a predetermined period even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, in part or in whole. Note that all or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be loaded into the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102.

The random number circuit 104 updatesably counts numerical data indicating various random numbers (gaming random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The gaming random number may be updated by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

The I/O 105 includes, for example, an input port into which various signals (detection signals to be described later) are input, and various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, normal symbol display device 20, first pending). It is configured to include an output port for transmitting a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the ordinary card hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal.

The switch circuit 110 receives detection signals (when a game ball passes or A detection signal indicating that the switch has entered and the switch has been turned on) is taken in and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The transmission of the detection signal means that the passage or entry of the game ball has been detected.

The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 and the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory and the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door. Transmit.

The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100) is a production control board that sends production control commands (commands that specify (notify) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game as part of the control of the progress of the game. Supply to 12. The production control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the production control board 12. The performance control command includes, for example, various decision results on the main board 11 (for example, display results of the special figure game (including jackpot type), fluctuation patterns used when executing the special figure game (details will be described later), etc. )), game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big prize opening, occurrence of winnings, number of pending memories, game status), occurrence of errors, etc. are included.

The production control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, and receives production control commands and performs production (various productions according to the progress of the game) based on the received production control commands. It has a function of executing various notifications (including various notifications such as driving the movable body 32, notification of errors, notification of power outage recovery, etc.).

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

The production control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to perform processing together with the display control unit 123 to execute the production (processing for realizing the above-mentioned functions of the production control board 12; (including decisions, etc.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as the main memory.

The performance control CPU 120 displays execution of the performance based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by a player is detected, and a signal that appropriately indicates the operation content). The control unit 123 may also be instructed.

The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), etc., and executes a performance based on a performance execution instruction from the performance control CPU 120.

The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display a performance image by supplying a video signal corresponding to the performance to be executed to the image display device 5 based on a performance execution instruction from the performance control CPU 120. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal that designates the sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound in synchronization with the display of the effect images and turn on/off the game effect lamps 9. or supplies a lamp signal (a signal specifying the lighting/extinguishing mode of the lamp) to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit that drives the movable body 32.

The audio control board 13 is equipped with various circuits that drive the speakers 8L and 8R, and drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound specified by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. let

The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits that drive the game effect lamps 9, drives the game effect lamps 9 based on the lamp signals, and turns on/off the game effect lamps 9 in a manner specified by the lamp signals. do. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the audio output and the lighting/extinguishing of the lamp.

Note that the production control CPU 120 executes audio output, control of lamp lighting/extinguishing (supply of sound designation signals and lamp signals, etc.), and control of the movable body 32 (supply of signals for operating the movable body 32, etc.). You can do it like this.

The random number circuit 124 updatesably counts numerical data indicating various random numbers (random numbers for effects) used to execute various effects. The random number for presentation may be updated by the presentation control CPU 120 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

It consists of an output port and an output port.

Boards other than the main board 11, such as the production control board 12, the audio control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also referred to as subboards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(motion)
Next, the operation (function) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be explained.

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

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interrupts to be prohibited (step S1). Next, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output ports, etc.), settings to make the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply board. When the power is turned on with the clear switch on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via 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 process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process to clear the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits a production control command instructing initialization to the production control board 12 (step S9). When receiving the performance control command, the performance control CPU 120 displays a screen on the image display device 5, for example, to notify 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 game machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power outage or the like (power outage), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko game machine 1 becomes unable to operate due to the power supply stop. In this power supply stop processing, processing for turning on a backup flag indicating that data is to be backed up in the RAM 102, data protection processing for the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes adding error detection codes (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for proceeding with the game (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.), as well as backup flag states and error detection codes. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. If the backup flag is off and no backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

If the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a data check on the backed up data (performed using an error detection code) and determines whether the data is normal (step S4). S5). In step S5, it is determined whether the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply was stopped, for example, using a parity bit or a checksum. If it is determined that these 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.

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

Then, the CPU 103 transmits a production control command to the production control board 12 to instruct recovery from the power outage (step S7). In line with this, a performance control command that specifies the backed-up gaming state before the power outage, or a performance control command that specifies the display result of the special game that is currently being executed if the special game is being executed. A command may also be sent. These commands can be the same as the commands that are set to be sent in the special design process described later. When the performance control CPU 120 receives a performance control command that specifies the time of recovery from a power outage, it notifies the image display device 5, for example, that recovery from a power outage has been completed or that recovery from a power outage is in progress. Display the screen to do so. The performance control CPU 120 may perform appropriate screen display based on the performance control command.

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

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When starting the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. It is determined whether detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Next, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is diagnosed for abnormality, and a warning can be issued if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of jackpot occurrences, etc.) and starting information (starting Data such as information indicating the number of winnings, etc.) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times the probability variable state has been reached, etc.) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a gaming random number updating process is executed to update at least a part of the gaming random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software (step S24). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). The CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby realizing management of execution and suspension of the special symbol game, control of jackpot gaming state, small winning gaming state, control of gaming state, etc. (For details, see (described later).

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes the normal pattern process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the normal pattern game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage of the game ball to the passing gate 41), This makes it possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal map hit". The normal pattern game is executed by driving the normal pattern display 20, and the number of normal patterns pending is displayed by lighting the normal pattern pending display 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process processing, processing when a power outage occurs, processing for paying out prize balls, etc. may be performed as part of the game control timer interrupt processing. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set transmission control commands in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process is performed in which the effect control command set for transmission is transmitted to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12. After executing the command control process, interrupts are permitted, and then the game control timer interrupt process is ended.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart 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, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, a process is executed to detect the occurrence of a starting winning, store pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and update the pending storage number. When a starting prize occurs, a random number value for determining the display result (including the type of jackpot) and fluctuation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Furthermore, a process of pre-reading and determining display results and fluctuation patterns may be performed based on the extracted random number values. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, transmission settings are made to send the production control command to the production control board 12 to specify the determination results such as the occurrence of a starting prize, the number of pending memories, and the pre-read judgment. . The performance control command at the time of start winning that is set to be transmitted is transferred from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. transmitted to.

After executing the starting winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the RAM 102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission settings are made to transmit the performance control command corresponding to each process to the performance control board 12.

The special symbol normal process in step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal processing, 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 reservation information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random value for determining the display result, it is determined whether the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is a "big hit" or "small win" and the type of jackpot when it is determined to be a "jackpot". is determined (pre-determined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, a confirmed special symbol (any of a jackpot symbol, a small prize symbol, or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set in accordance with the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. Note that the special pattern game using the second special pattern may be executed with priority over the special pattern game using the first special pattern (also referred to as special pattern 2 priority consumption). Further, the winning order of the game balls in the first starting winning hole and the second starting winning hole may be stored, and the starting conditions for the special figure game may be established in the winning order (also referred to as winning order completion).

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

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". In this fluctuation pattern setting process, based on the pre-determined result of whether the display result will be a "big hit" or "small hit", a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern is used to select one of multiple types of fluctuation patterns. It includes the process of determining the 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 includes the execution time of the special figure game (special figure variation time) (also the execution time of the variable display of decorative symbols), the variable display mode of the ornamental symbols (the presence or absence of reach, etc.), and the variable display period of the decorative symbols. It specifies the content of the performance (type of reach performance, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation process includes a process of making settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time since the special symbol started to fluctuate. It includes processes such as measuring. It is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time after starting the variation of the special symbol reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3" and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stopping process, the fluctuation of the special symbol is stopped in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the finalized special symbol that becomes the display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived). Contains processing to configure settings for Then, when the display result is a "jackpot", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off and the display result is a "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". Moreover, when the display result is "lost", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is a "small hit" or "loss", the game state is also updated when the time-saving state or the variable probability state is controlled and when the end of the number cut is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing to start a round in the jackpot game state and set the jackpot opening state based on the display result being a "jackpot", etc. It is. When the big winning opening is opened, a process is executed to supply a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door. At this time, for example, depending on the jackpot type, the opening upper limit period for keeping the jackpot open and the upper limit number of rounds to be executed are set. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing is completed.

The jackpot opening process in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". This jackpot opening process includes a process of measuring the elapsed time since the jackpot opening is opened, and a process of measuring the elapsed time from when the jackpot opening is opened, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the jackpot opening This includes processing for determining whether it is time to return the switch from an open state to a closed state. Then, when returning the big prize opening to the closed state, after executing a process such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The jackpot opening process ends.

The jackpot opening process in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening process includes a process to determine whether the number of rounds to open the jackpot has reached the set upper limit number of runs, and a process to enter the jackpot game state when the upper limit number of runs has been reached. This includes processing to make settings for terminating the process. When the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round has reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5". 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 process in step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot ending process includes a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period in which the ending performance is executed as a performance operation to notify the end of the jackpot gaming state, and a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the end of the jackpot gaming state has changed. It includes processing to perform various settings for starting control and time-saving control. When such settings are made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

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

The small winning opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "9". This small win opening process includes a process that measures the elapsed time since the big winning opening was opened, and a timing that returns the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. This includes processing to determine whether or not the When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the timing for ending the small winning game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10" and the small winning opening process ends.

The small hit end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "10". This small win ending process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which a performance operation to notify the end of the small win game state has elapsed. Here, when the small winning gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before entering the small winning gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small winning game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small winning ending process ends.

(Main operations of the production control board 12)
Next, the main operations in the production control board 12 will be explained. When the effect control board 12 receives power supply voltage from a power source board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated and executes effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the production control main process shown in FIG. Performs register settings for the installed CTC (counter/timer circuit). In addition, initial operation control processing is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control is executed to perform the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and checking a predetermined operation.

Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on, for example, a register setting of the CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and the process waits.

Furthermore, on the side of the production control board 12, an interrupt for receiving a production control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to a timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt that occurs when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the production control INT signal being turned on, the production control CPU 120 automatically disables interrupts, but if a CPU that does not automatically disable interrupts is used, interrupts are disabled. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI order). The production control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the production control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, an effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port included in the I/O 125 that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The production control command taken in at this time is stored in a production control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the production control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

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

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the production control process process is executed (step S76). In the performance control process processing, for example, the display operation of the performance image in the display area of the image display device 5, the audio 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 is performed to operate various presentation devices, such as driving operations. Further, regarding the content of control of performance operations using various performance devices, judgments, decisions, settings, etc. are performed in accordance with performance control commands transmitted from the main board 11.

Following the performance control process processing in step S76, a performance random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a portion of the performance random numbers used on the performance control board 12 are updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to step S73. Other processes may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the production control process process. In the performance control process shown in FIG. 7, the performance control CPU 120 first executes a pre-read notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-read preview setting process, for example, based on the performance control command at the time of start-up winning that is transmitted from the main board 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-read preview performance are performed. Further, processing for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the production control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the production control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177, depending on the value of the production process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process that is executed when the value of the production 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 specifying the start of variable display has been received from the main board 11. Contains such as. When it is determined to start variable display of decorative symbols on the image display device 5, the value of the production process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is ended.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and fluctuation pattern specified by the production control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern, the reach effect, etc. It determines whether or not various performances such as preview performances are to be executed, their mode, execution start timing, and the like. Then, a performance control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the performance) that reflects the determination result etc. is set. Thereafter, based on the set performance control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start executing the variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is ended. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of decorative symbols in response to an instruction to start variable display of decorative symbols.

The variable display effect processing in step S172 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display performance process, the performance control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display a performance image based on the performance control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32 , outputting audio and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the audio control board 13 , and outputting a command (illumination signal) to the lamp control board 14 . Various performance controls are executed during variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/flashing the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by outputting the output. After performing such performance control, for example, a termination code indicating the end of the variable display of decorative patterns has been read from the performance control pattern, or a command has been received from the main board 11 specifying that fixed decorative patterns should be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, etc., the determined decorative pattern that becomes the display result of the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the variable display production process is completed.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure winning waiting process, the performance control CPU 120 determines whether or not a performance control command has been received from the main board 11 that designates starting a jackpot game state or a small win game state. Then, when receiving a production control command that specifies the start of the jackpot game state or the small win game state, if the command specifies 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 specifies the start of a small win game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4", which is a value corresponding to the small win performance process. In addition, if the waiting time for receiving the command elapses without receiving a command specifying the start of the jackpot game state or the small win game state, it is determined that the display result in the special drawing game is a "lose". Then, the value of the production process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the waiting process for each special figure ends.

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

The small hit end production process in step S175 is a process that is executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In this small hit end performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets a performance control pattern corresponding to the end of the small win game state, for example, and performs various performance controls at the end of the small win game state based on the setting contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the performance process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the small hit end performance process is ended.

The jackpot performance process in step S176 is a process that is executed when the value of the performance process flag is "6". In this jackpot performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the jackpot game state, and executes various performance controls in the jackpot game state based on the set content. In addition, in the jackpot production process, for example, in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify ending the jackpot game state, the value of the production control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the ending production process. 7” and ends the jackpot performance process.

The ending effect processing in step S177 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending performance processing, the performance control CPU 120 sets a performance control pattern corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, for example, and performs various performance controls of the ending performance at the end of the jackpot game state based on the setting contents. Execute. Thereafter, the value of the production process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending production process is ended.

(Variation example of basic explanation)
This invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 1 explained in the basic explanation above, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 described above is a payout type gaming machine that pays out a predetermined number of game media as prizes based on the occurrence of a winning, but the game media is enclosed and points are awarded based on the occurrence of a winning. It may also be an enclosed game machine.

Only one type of symbol (for example, a symbol indicating "-") may be displayed during the variable display of the special symbol, and the variable display may be performed by repeatedly displaying and extinguishing the symbol. Further, even if the symbol is displayed during the variable display, the symbol does not need to be displayed when the variable display is stopped (the symbol indicating "-" does not need to be displayed as a display result).

In the above basic explanation, the pachinko gaming machine 1 was shown as a gaming machine, but medals are inserted and a predetermined number of bets are set, and multiple types of symbols are rotated according to the operation of the operating lever by the player. A slot machine that can execute a game in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player when the combination of stopped symbols becomes a specific combination of symbols when the symbols are stopped in response to the operation of the stop button (for example, a big bonus , regular bonus, RT, AT, ART, and CZ (hereinafter referred to as bonus, etc.).

The program and data for realizing the present invention are not limited to a form in which they are distributed and provided to a computer device included in the pachinko game machine 1 on a removable recording medium, but are provided in advance in a form such as a computer device, etc. The software may be distributed by being installed on the storage device of the user. Furthermore, by providing a communication processing section, the program and data for realizing the present invention can be distributed by being downloaded from other devices on a network connected via a communication line or the like. I don't mind.

The game can be executed not only by attaching a removable recording medium, but also by temporarily storing the program and data downloaded via a communication line in internal memory, etc. It may also be executed directly using hardware resources of other devices on a network connected via a communication line or the like. Furthermore, the game may be executed by exchanging data with other computer devices via a network.

In addition, in this specification, expressions that compare various proportions such as the execution rate of production (expressions such as "higher", "lower", "different", etc.) do not mean that one is a proportion of "0%". May include. For example, one of the ratios may be "0%" and the other ratio may be "100%" or a ratio less than "100%."

(Explanation regarding characteristic part 001IW)
Next, the characteristic part 001IW of this embodiment will be explained. In the feature section 001IW, when the display result of the special symbol becomes "jackpot" and the jackpot gaming state is controlled, after the jackpot gaming state ends, the game is controlled to a variable probability state. This variable probability state has a termination condition that the special symbol game has been executed a predetermined number of times, and is a so-called variable probability state. In this example, the expression "the result of the lottery is a win" may be used, but this means that the display result of the special symbol game is a "jackpot", that is, the random value used to determine the display result in the special symbol normal processing. Based on this, the display result of the special symbol is determined (pre-determined), and the determined result is a "jackpot". In addition, in this example, the expression "the lottery result is non-winning" may be used, but this means that the display result of the special symbol game is a "lose", that is, the random value used to determine the display result in the special symbol normal processing. It means that the display result of the special symbol is determined (pre-determined) based on the above, and the determined result is a "loss".

(Front view of pachinko game machine 1 in characteristic part 001IW)
FIG. 8-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the characteristic part 001IW. As shown in FIG. 8-1, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature section 001IW has an operating lever 001IW31C attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 at the lower right of the gaming area, which can be held and tilted by the player. It is being In addition, in the pachinko game machine 1 with the characteristic part 001IW shown in FIG. 8-1, the members assigned the same reference numerals as those in the pachinko game machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 have the same functions as the members described with reference to FIG. 1. Since this is a simple matter, the explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 8-2 is a front view of the pachinko game machine when the operating lever 001IW31C is operated. As shown in FIG. 8-2, the operating lever 001IW31 is provided so that it can be held by the player and tilted to the left. An operation on the operation lever 001IW31C is detected by a lever sensor (not shown), and the performance control CPU 120 receives a detection signal from the lever sensor (a signal output when an operation by the player is detected, and appropriately indicates the operation content). It is possible to perform processing such as execution of effects based on the signal).

(Jackpot judgment table)
FIG. 8-3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a jackpot determination table. As shown in Figure 8-3, in this example, based on the random numbers for hit determination, it is determined that the probability of a jackpot is approximately 1/300 in the low probability state, and approximately 1/30 in the high probability state. It is decided that it will be a jackpot with a probability of .

Note that the jackpot probability is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 8-3, but may vary depending on whether the first special symbol is displayed in a variable manner or the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner. may be different.

For example, it is configured such that it can be set to any one of a plurality of setting values that have different advantages for the player, and when the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine 1, a setting confirmation process and a setting change process are executed, and the current If it is possible to check or change the set value, the jackpot probability may vary depending on which set value is set.

Further, a plurality of jackpot types may be provided, each having a different advantage. Specifically, the number of rounds in the jackpot game and the gaming state after the jackpot game may be different depending on the jackpot type. In this case, when it is determined to be a jackpot based on the random number for determining a hit, the type of jackpot is determined based on the random number for determining the type.

(Fluctuation pattern table)
FIG. 8-4 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a variation pattern table in the feature section 001IW. Of these, FIG. 8-4(A) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for failures used in a low probability state. Further, FIG. 8-4(B) shows a specific example of a fluctuation pattern table for a jackpot used in a low probability state. Further, FIG. 8-4(C) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for failures used in a high probability state. Further, FIG. 8-4(D) shows a specific example of a fluctuation pattern table for a jackpot used in a high probability state.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-4(A), in the case of a miss in a low probability state, variation pattern PA1-1 (normal variation), variation pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation), variation pattern PA2 -1 (normal reach), variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), variation pattern PA2-3 (super reach A), and variation pattern PA2-4 (super reach B).

In addition, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-4 (B), when a jackpot occurs in a low probability state, fluctuation pattern PB2-1 (normal reach), fluctuation pattern PB2-2 (long reach), fluctuation pattern PB2 -3 (Super Reach A) and fluctuation pattern PB2-4 (Super Reach B).

In addition, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-4(C), when the deviation occurs in a high probability state, the variation pattern PA1-1 (normal variation), the variation pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation), the variation pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation), The variation pattern is determined to be one of PA2-1 (normal reach), variation pattern PA2-2 (long reach), and variation pattern PA2-5 (super reach C).

In addition, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-4 (D), when a jackpot occurs in a high probability state, fluctuation pattern PB2-1 (normal reach), fluctuation pattern PB2-2 (long reach), and fluctuation pattern PB2 -5 (Super Reach C) is determined as one of the fluctuation patterns.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-4, a plurality of types of reach effects can be executed, and the jackpot expectation level is configured to increase in the order of normal reach < long reach < super reach.

Furthermore, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-4, the type of super reach that can be executed is different in the low probability state and the high probability state, and the fluctuation period (that is, the performance period) is configured to be different. 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, in a low probability state, super reach A or super reach B can be executed as a super reach, and in a high probability state, only super reach C can be executed as a super reach. The configuration is not limited, and multiple types of super reach may be possible.

In addition, not limited to the example shown in Figure 8-4, for example, a variable pattern in which a reach effect is executed after a pseudo continuous effect is executed once or multiple times can be provided, and the jackpot expectation level can be increased according to the number of pseudo continuous effects. The rate of development into a highly anticipated super reach may be set to be different.

(Variable display start setting process)
Next, variable display start setting processing in the feature section 001IW will be explained. FIG. 8-5 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the production control process shown in FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the performance control CPU 120 first reads the variable pattern command from the variable pattern command storage area (step 006IWS801).

Next, the performance control CPU 120 determines the display result (stop) of the decorative pattern according to the variation pattern command read out in step 006IWS801 and the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (i.e., the received display result designation command). A symbol) is determined, and data indicating the stop symbol of the determined decorative symbol is stored in the decorative symbol display result storage area (step 006 IWS802).

In step 006IWS802, when the production control CPU 120 receives a display result designation command indicating "missing", the production control CPU 120 determines whether the left center right decorative pattern is a completely mismatched missing pattern or the left and right decorative pattern (specifically, the normal color A combination of reach-to-reach symbols in which only the white regular decorative symbols "1" to "6" and "8" to "9" match is determined. In addition, when a display result designation command indicating a "jackpot" is received, the decorative symbols in the middle right of the left (specifically, "1" to "6" and "8" to "9" whose normal color is white) are displayed. Determine the combination of patterns that have all the normal decorative patterns.

Next, the performance control CPU 120 checks whether the variation pattern includes super reach (step 006 IWS803). If the variation pattern does not include super reach, the process moves to step 006IWS809.

If the variation pattern includes super reach, the performance control CPU 120 checks whether the gaming state is a high probability state (step 006IWS804). If the state is not a high probability state, the process moves to step 006IWS808. Whether or not the game is in a high probability state can be confirmed by, for example, storing information that allows the gaming state to be specified based on the received command, and referring to the information in step 006IWS804.

If it is a high probability state, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether the current effect mode is the powerful RUSH mode (step 006IWS805). If the current performance mode is the "powerful RUSH mode", it is determined to perform the super reach C (powerful RUSH) performance, and the process moves to step 006IWS809. On the other hand, if the current performance mode is not the "powerful RUSH mode", that is, if it is the "pattop attack mode", it is determined to execute the super reach C (pattopat attack) performance, and the process moves to step 006IWS809.

In this example, a "powerful RUSH mode" and a "pattopatto attack mode" are provided as production modes when the game is in a high probability state. In addition, the player is configured to be able to decide which production mode to use when the probability is high (details will be explained in the production mode determination process to be described later). In step 006 IWS805, the information stored in the production mode determination process that allows identification of the production mode is referred to to confirm which production mode is set. In this example, the production mode is configured so that it can be selected when the probability state is high, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The production mode is configured to be selectable when the player is in a game state such as a time saving state (low probability/high base state) or a so-called small win rush state (high probability/low base state). It's okay.

In addition, in this example, when in a high probability state, it is possible to execute Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) performance and Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) performance as Super Reach performance to notify success or failure, and in the performance mode. It is configured to do one or the other depending on the configuration.

Furthermore, in this example, the super reach C (powerful RUSH) performance and the super reach C (pat-pat attack) performance are performances executed based on the same variation pattern. For example, when the variation pattern PA2-5 or the variation pattern PB2-5 shown in Figure 8-4 is determined, if the production mode is the powerful RUSH mode, the super reach C (powerful RUSH) production is executed, If it is in the patrol attack mode, a super reach C (pat patrol attack) effect will be executed. Therefore, when the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) effect is executed based on the first variation pattern, and when the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) effect is executed based on the first variation pattern, the variation The period from the start to the end of the fluctuation is the same. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8-4, when the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) performance or the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) performance is executed based on the variation pattern PA2-5, the duration is 80 seconds in both cases. , when the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) performance or the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) performance is executed based on the variation pattern PB2-5, the duration is 100 seconds. With such a configuration, it is possible to execute a plurality of performances based on the same variation pattern, and it is also possible to impress an announcement using a police lamp (details will be described later) in one of the performances.

In this example, when the probability is high, the configuration is such that either the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) performance or the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) performance is executed depending on the performance mode. The player is prompted to press the push button 31B, and based on the fact that the press operation has been performed (or the operation promotion period has elapsed), a notification is made as to whether the push button 31B is correct or not. Not limited to the configuration, for example, prompting the player to perform a repeated tapping operation instead of a pressing operation, and notification of success or failure based on whether the repeated tapping operation that satisfies a predetermined execution condition has been performed (or the action promotion period has elapsed). may be performed. In this case, for example, by determining either a press operation pattern or a repeated press operation pattern at different rates depending on the fluctuating display results, it is possible to make the expectations different for each pattern and improve interest. can.

It should be noted that a plurality of conditions may be provided for the notification of success or failure regarding the repeated tapping operation (if the condition is not met, the notification of success or failure will not be made until the operation promotion period has elapsed). For example, in a case where the movement promotion period is 4 seconds, the first judgment timing when the remaining period is 3.5 seconds and the first judgment timing when the remaining period is 2 seconds are used to determine whether the condition is met. Three determination timings are provided in advance: a second determination timing and a third determination timing with one second remaining. For example, at the first judgment timing, whether or not the press operation has been performed 30 times is associated as the first judgment condition, and at the second judgment timing, whether or not the press operation has been performed 20 times is associated as the second judgment condition. The third judgment timing is associated with whether or not the pressing operation has been performed five times as the third judgment condition. In the variable display start setting process, if it is determined that the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) effect or the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) effect is to be performed by a pattern of repeated tapping operations, the timing and judgment of which judgment will be made will be further determined by lottery. Decide which combination of conditions to use.

In this case, when an effect is executed with a pattern of repeated hitting operations based on a combination of the first judgment timing and the first judgment condition, after the start of the movement promotion period, the first judgment period with a remaining period of 3.5 seconds is executed. At the determination timing, it is determined whether or not the pressing operation has been performed 30 times, and if the pressing operation has been performed 30 times, it is determined that the execution condition is satisfied and a notification of success or failure is made. On the other hand, if the pressing operation has not been performed 30 times at the first judgment timing, a notification of success or failure is not made at the first judgment timing, and a notification of success or failure is made at the timing when the operation promotion period has elapsed. Further, for example, when an effect is executed with a pattern of repeated press operations based on a combination of the second judgment timing and the second judgment condition, a press operation is performed at the second judgment timing when there are two seconds remaining after the start of the movement promotion period. It is determined whether or not the pressing operation has been performed 20 times, and if the pressing operation has been performed 20 times, it is determined that the execution condition is satisfied and a notification of success or failure is made. On the other hand, if the pressing operation has not been performed 20 times at the second judgment timing, a notification of success or failure is not made at the second judgment timing, and a notification of success or failure is made at the timing when the operation promotion period has elapsed. Furthermore, for example, when an effect is executed with a pattern of repeated press operations based on a combination of the third judgment timing and the third judgment condition, a press operation is performed at the third judgment timing when the remaining period is 1 second after the start of the movement promotion period. It is determined whether the pressing operation has been performed five times or not, and if the pressing operation has been performed five times, it is determined that the execution condition is satisfied and a notification of success or failure is made. On the other hand, if the pressing operation has not been performed five times at the third judgment timing, a notification of success or failure is not made at the third judgment timing, and a notification of success or failure is made at the timing when the operation promotion period has elapsed.

With regard to the selection of combinations of judgment timing and judgment conditions regarding the continuous hitting operation, for example, by determining different ratios depending on the variable display results, the expectations can be made different and the interest can be improved. Hereinafter, regarding the repeated hitting operation, satisfying the determination condition at the determination timing will also be referred to as the repeated hitting operation satisfying the execution condition, or the repeated hitting operation satisfying the execution condition being performed.

In this example, the period during which the player's operation on the push button 31 is effectively detected is referred to as an operation valid period, and the period during which the player is encouraged to perform an operation on the push button 31 is also referred to as an operation promotion period. Furthermore, in this example, the operation promotion period starts at the start of the operation validity period, and ends at the end of the operation validity period, so the operation validity period and the operation promotion period can be read interchangeably. However, this configuration is not limited to this configuration. For example, the operation promotion period starts after a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has elapsed from the start of the operation effective period, and the operation promotion period starts after a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has elapsed from the end of the operation effective period. ) may be such that the motion promotion period ends before the end of the period. In this case, the part that states that the predetermined process is executed when the operation promotion period ends may be read as saying that the predetermined process is executed when the operation validity period ends, or the part that says that the predetermined process is executed when the operation promotion period ends, or the part that says that the predetermined process is executed when the operation promotion period ends, or the part that says that the predetermined process is executed when the operation promotion period ends, or the part that says that the predetermined process is executed when the operation promotion period ends, may be replaced with A predetermined process may be executed at the timing when the promotion period ends.

Hereinafter, a performance that announces success or failure based on the fact that a predetermined movement has been performed by the player during the movement validity period (or that the movement validity period has passed) will also be referred to as a deciding movement performance. In this example, the decisive action performance is a decisive button performance that announces whether the push button 31 has been operated (or the effective period of operation has elapsed) and the operation lever 001IW31C is operated. The system is configured to be able to perform a decision lever performance that announces whether the game is successful or not based on the fact that the game has passed (or that the effective period of operation has passed). In addition, among the decision button productions, there are those that announce the success or failure based on the fact that the push button 31 has been pressed (single press operation) (or the operation validity period has elapsed). ), and the one in which the success or failure is announced based on the fact that the push button 31 has been pressed repeatedly (or that the valid operation period has elapsed) is sometimes distinguished as a decision button performance (repeatedly pressed).

Furthermore, in this example, when a determined motion performance is executed, it is possible to perform a motion promotion performance that displays a motion promotion display that prompts the player to make a predetermined action, and furthermore, before executing the motion promotion performance, a predetermined motion promotion display is displayed. The present invention is configured to be able to display a suggestion display to execute a movement promotion preliminary performance that suggests that the movement promotion performance will be executed.

If it is determined in step 006IWS804 that it is not a high probability state (N in step 006IWS804), that is, if it is a fluctuation pattern of super reach and it is a low probability state, the performance control CPU 120 will execute the process during the super reach performance. A performance pattern for the determined motion performance is determined (step 006IWS808). Thereafter, the process moves to step 006IWS809.

In step 006IWS808, a performance pattern is determined by referring to the decisive motion performance pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-6, for example. Of the deciding motion production pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-6, FIG. 8-6 (A) shows the deciding motion production pattern used when the variation pattern of super reach A (that is, PA2-3 or PB2-3) is selected. A determination table [Super reach A] is shown, and FIG. 8-6(B) shows a determination table [Super reach Reach B] is shown.

In this example, when the probability is low, super reach A (first battle) effect and super reach B (second battle) effect can be executed as super reach effects to notify success or failure, and it is possible to perform super reach effect in a fluctuating pattern. It is configured to do one or the other depending on the configuration. Note that the configuration is not limited to this example, and for example, just as in the high probability state, when there is a specific fluctuation pattern, the super reach A (first battle) performance and the super reach are performed according to the performance mode for the low probability state. It may be configured to perform either one of the B (second battle) effects.

In this example, battle effects are performed in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, but since the content of each effect is different, when distinguishing between the two, the battle effect performed in Super Reach A is referred to as the first battle effect. , the battle performance executed in Super Reach B is referred to as a second battle performance.

In this example, as shown in Figure 8-6 (A), the decisive action performance performed during the Super Reach A (first battle) performance can be a decisive button performance (single press) and a decisive lever performance. be. In addition, as shown in Figure 8-6 (A), when distinguishing from the decisive action performance executed during the super reach performance other than the super reach A (first battle) performance, the former is set to the first battle determination button. The latter is also called the first battle deciding lever effect.

In addition, as shown in Figure 8-6 (A), the first battle deciding lever effect has a higher proportion of decisions being made at the time of a jackpot than the first battle deciding button effect (single press), and a higher proportion of decisions being made at the time of a miss. Since the number of players is low, the system is structured so that the expectation of a jackpot is high. With this configuration, in the super reach A (first battle) performance, it is possible to draw attention to which performance pattern is used to execute the decisive action performance.

In this example, as shown in Figure 8-6 (B), the decisive action performance performed during the Super Reach B (second battle) performance includes a decisive button performance (single press) and a decisive button performance (sequential presses). It is doable. In addition, as shown in Figure 8-6 (B), when distinguishing from the deciding action production executed during the super reach production other than the super reach B (second battle) production, the former is the second battle deciding button production. (single press), the latter is also called the second battle deciding button production (single press).

In addition, as shown in Figure 8-6 (B), the second battle deciding button effect (single press) is more likely to be decided at the time of a jackpot than the second battle deciding button effect (sequential press), and the second battle deciding button effect is decided at the time of a miss. Since the percentage of winnings is low, it is structured so that the expectation of a jackpot is high. With this configuration, even in the super reach B (second battle) performance, it is possible to draw attention to which performance pattern is used to execute the decisive action performance.

Here, a modification regarding the decisive action performance will be explained. In this example, the super reach B (second battle) performance is configured to have a higher jackpot expectation than the super reach A (first battle) performance (see Figure 8-4). The jackpot expectation level may be partially changed depending on the pattern of the decisive action performance executed during the game. For example, as in the modified example shown in FIG. 8-6(C), when the first battle deciding lever effect is executed in the super reach A (first battle) effect, the super reach B (second battle) effect is executed. The expectation level of a jackpot may be higher than when the above is executed. With this configuration, even when the super reach A (first battle) effect is executed, a sense of anticipation can be maintained, and the interest can be improved.

In step 006IWS809, the performance control CPU 120 selects a process table according to the variation pattern and the determined content of the performance (step 006IWS809).

Next, the production control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table (step 006IWS810).

The process table is a table in which process data referred to by the production control CPU 120 when controlling the production device is set. That is, the performance control CPU 120 controls performance devices (performance components) such as the image display device 5 according to process data set in the process table. The process table is composed of a plurality of combinations of process timer setting values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, and sound number data. The display control execution data includes data indicating each variation mode that constitutes the variation mode during the variable display time (variation time) of the variable display of the decorative pattern. Specifically, data related to changing the display screen of the image display device 5 is described. Further, the process timer setting value has a variation time set in the manner of variation. The performance control CPU 120 refers to the process table and performs control to display the decorative pattern in the variation mode set in the display control execution data for the time set in the process timer setting value. Further, the process table is stored in the ROM in the effect control board 80. Further, process tables are prepared according to each variation pattern.

In addition, the process table used when executing performance control for a fluctuation pattern that involves a reach performance has a function that stops displaying the left symbol when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation, and stops displaying the right symbol when a further predetermined time has elapsed. Process data indicating display is set. In addition, instead of setting the symbols to be stopped and displayed in the process table, images for displaying the symbols are synthesized and generated according to the determined stopping symbols and the temporary stopping symbols in pseudo-runs and sliding effects. It's okay.

In addition, the production control CPU 120 controls the performance devices (the image display device 5 as production components, the image display device 5 as production components, Control of various lamps and speakers 8L and 8R (as performance parts) is executed (step 006IWS811). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the image display device 5. Further, in order to control the lighting/extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is outputted to the audio control board 13 in order to output audio from the speakers 8L and 8R.

By executing the process of step 006IWS811, an effect corresponding to the variation pattern and the content decided to be executed is realized.

Next, the production control CPU 120 sets a value corresponding to the variation time specified by the variation pattern command in the variation time timer (Step 006IWS812).

Then, the performance control CPU 120 sets the value of the performance control process flag to a value corresponding to the variable display performance process (step S172) (step 006IWS813).

(Production mode determination process)
Next, the production mode determination process executed within the ending production process in the feature section 001IW will be explained. FIG. 8-7 is a flowchart showing an example of the performance mode determination process executed in the ending performance process.

In the performance mode determination process, the performance control CPU 120 checks whether the current performance mode determination period is in which the player can determine the performance mode by operating the stick controller 31A or push button 31B (step 006 IWS901). . If the performance mode determination period is not in progress, the performance mode determination process is immediately terminated.

If it is during the performance mode determination period, the performance control CPU 120 checks whether or not an operation on the stick controller 31A is detected (step 006IWS902). When an operation is detected, the effect control CPU 120 displays an image corresponding to the effect mode "powerful RUSH mode" and an image corresponding to the effect mode "pattopat attack mode" displayed on the image display device 5. is selected according to the operation, and the selected image is highlighted (step 006IWS903).

Next, the performance control CPU 120 checks whether an operation on the push button 31B has been detected (Step 006IWS904). If an operation is detected, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect mode corresponding to the selected image highlighted on the image display device 5 (step 006IWS906). In step 006 IWS906, information that can specify the determined production mode is stored. After that, the production mode determination process is ended.

If no operation on the push button 31B is detected, the performance control CPU 120 checks whether it is the end timing of the performance mode determination period (step 006IWS904). If it is not the end timing, the production mode determination process is ended, and if it is the end timing, the production mode corresponding to the selected image highlighted on the image display device 5 is determined (step 006IWS906), The production mode determination process ends.

(Example of production)
Next, a specific example of the effect will be explained with reference to the drawings. First, the super reach B (second battle) effect executed in the low probability state will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8-8 to 8-20. Note that in both figures, the screen changes in ascending order of (1), (2), and (3).

(Super Reach B (2nd battle) production executed in low probability state)
FIGS. 8-8 to 8-20 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach B (second battle) executed in a low probability state.

In the Super Reach B (second battle) performance, if the second battle deciding button performance (single press) is executed as a decisive action performance, the one shown in Figure 8-8 ( 1) to (8), Figure 8-9 (9) to (16), Figure 8-10 (17) to (19), Figure 8-11 (20) to (27), Figure 8-12 (28) The screen changes in the order of ~(35), Figures 8-13 (36)~(43), and Figures 8-17 (68)~(74). After that, if the fluctuating display result is a jackpot, the screen changes in the order of Figure 8-18 (75) to (82) and Figure 8-19 (83) to (88), and the fluctuating display result is a loss. In this case, the screen changes in the order of (89) to (94) in FIG. 8-20.

In addition, in the Super Reach B (second battle) performance, when the second battle deciding button performance (repeat press) is executed as a decisive action performance, the figure 8-8 of Figures 8-8 to 8-20 (1) to (8), Figure 8-9 (9) to (16), Figure 8-10 (17) to (19), Figure 8-14 (44) to (52), Figure 8-15 (52) ) to (59), Figure 8-16 (60) to (67), and Figure 8-17 (68) to (74). After that, if the fluctuating display result is a jackpot, the screen changes in the order of Figure 8-18 (75) to (82) and Figure 8-19 (83) to (88), and the fluctuating display result is a loss. In this case, the screen changes in the order of (89) to (94) in FIG. 8-20.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-8 to 8-20, after a losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-8 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-4 (Super Reach B) jackpot or fluctuation pattern PA2-4 (Super Reach B) starts to display fluctuations based on the loss (FIG. 8-8 (2)).

Next, when the left and right decorative patterns are "2" and the reach state is reached (FIG. 8-8 (3)), the normal reach effect in which the middle decoration pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 whites out. , the development preview performance starts (Figure 8-8 (4)).

In the development preview performance, first ally character image 006IWC01 appears (Figure 8-8 (4)), followed by a performance display in which second ally character image 006IWC02 appears (Figure 8-8 (5)). . Next, an effect display is performed in which the characters "Development" are displayed superimposed on the first ally character image 006IWC01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02 (FIG. 8-8 (6)). Next, the first mini-character image 006IWC04 is displayed so as to multiply, superimposed on the first ally character image 006IWC01, the second ally character image 006IWC02, and the word "Development" (Fig. 8-8 (7)), and eventually An effect display is performed in which the multiplied first mini-character images 006IWC04 are displayed so as to fill the screen (FIG. 8-8 (8)).

After that, when the second battle performance of Super Reach B starts, the proliferated first mini-character image 006IWC04 gradually disappears (Figure 8-9 (9)), and eventually all the first mini-character images 006IWC04 disappear. An effect display is performed (FIG. 8-9 (10)). With this configuration, it is possible to suppress the sense of discomfort when switching from the development preview performance video to the super reach video, and to make the series of flow from the development preview performance to the super reach video appear natural.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 appears to land on the ground (FIG. 8-9 (11)), and the upper body of the second ally character image 006IWC02 is enlarged and the second ally character image 006IWC02 A background image including a plurality of star shapes corresponding to is displayed (FIG. 8-9 (12)).

Next, the second ally character image 006IWC02 and the enemy character image 006IWC11 face each other, and the characters "VS" indicating that a battle has started are displayed (FIG. 8-9 (13)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the enemy character image 006IWC11 attacks the second ally character image 006IWC02 (specifically, a light beam is output from the fingertip) (FIG. 8-9 (14)). At this time, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is in a state where it uses the center decoration pattern "9" (or the pattern image corresponding to the center decoration pattern "9") as a shield to prevent attacks (Figure 8-9 (14) ).

In this example, the decorative patterns are displayed in the order of "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", and after "9", the decorations are displayed again from "1". displayed in order. In the examples shown in Figures 8-8 to 8-20, the left and right decorative patterns are "2" and are in a reach mode, so the middle decorative pattern "9" displayed in Figure 8-9 (14) is This is the middle decoration pattern displayed two places before the middle decoration pattern ``2'', which is the jackpot pattern combination ``222''.

Next, an effect display is performed in which an attack from the enemy character image 006IWC11 to the second ally character image 006IWC02 (specifically, a ray of light output from the fingertip) destroys the center decoration pattern "9" that was serving as a shield. At this time, the center decoration pattern "9" is in a destroyed state (FIG. 8-9 (15)). Then, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is enlarged and displayed, and a background image including a plurality of star shapes corresponding to the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed (FIG. 8-9 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 starts attacking (specifically, attacking) the enemy character image 006IWC11 (FIG. 8-10 (17)). Then, the opposing enemy character image 006IWC11 is displayed from the front (Fig. 8-10 (18)), and an effect display is performed in which a center decoration pattern "1" appears in front of the enemy character image 006IWC11 (Fig. 8-10 (18)). 19)).

In addition, the center decoration pattern "1" displayed in FIG. 8-10 (19) is the center decoration pattern displayed before the center decoration pattern "2" which is the jackpot pattern combination "222". Therefore, when the center decoration pattern "1" displayed in FIG. 8-10 (19) is destroyed and the next center decoration pattern "2" is displayed, a jackpot is announced.

Here, if it is decided to execute the second battle deciding button effect (single press) as the deciding action effect, after the screen shown in Figure 8-10 (19), the screen shown in Figures 8-11 (20) to ( 27), Figures 8-12 (28) to (35), Figures 8-13 (36) to (43), and Figures 8-17 (68) to (74). If it is decided to execute the 2-battle deciding button effect (sequential presses), after the screen shown in Fig. 8-10 (19), Fig. 8-14 (44) to (51), Fig. 8-15 (52) ) to (59), Figure 8-16 (60) to (67), and Figure 8-17 (68) to (74).

First, a case will be described in which the second battle deciding button effect (single press) is executed. When executing the second battle deciding button effect (single press), before executing the movement promotion effect corresponding to the second battle deciding button effect (single press), the second battle deciding button effect (single press) ) is executed in advance to promote movement.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (20), on the image display device 5, a special covering image that is expressed as a flash of light spreading radially is displayed superimposed on the enemy character image 006IWC11. will be held. Since the special covering image displayed here is non-transparent, it is displayed in an overlapping manner and a part of the enemy character image 006IWC11 cannot be visually recognized.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (21), the special covering image is enlarged and displayed, and an effect display is performed in which a brush image 001IWG04 imitating a brush is displayed superimposed on the special covering image. Note that at the timing shown in Figure 8-11 (21), the special cover image is not enlarged to the entire display area, and the effect display is such that a part of the background image of the radial pattern (that is, the image related to the battle effect) can be seen. ing.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (22), the special cover image is enlarged and displayed to cover the entire display area (that is, the image related to the battle effect is covered and cannot be seen), and is displayed in a superimposed manner. An effect display is performed in which the brush image 001IWG04 writes the character "ichi". At this time, a light emitting effect image may be displayed on the part traced by the brush image 001IWG04 and around it. When the character "ichi" is written, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (23), the brush image 001IWG04 is erased and an effect display is performed in which the character display "ichi" is displayed.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-11 (22) and (23), when displaying the character display "1", the brush image 001IWG04 (and the luminous effect image) is displayed. Also, when displaying the character display "Ki" (described later), the brush image 001IWG04 (furthermore, the light emitting effect image) is displayed as an effect display that emphasizes the character display "Ki". With such a configuration, the character display "ichi" and "geki" can be made to stand out, thereby enhancing the presentation effect.

Next, the character display "1" which had been displayed in a non-transparent manner until the timing shown in FIG. (It may immediately change to a transparent mode), an effect display is performed in which the image related to the battle effect displayed on the lower layer can be seen through the character display "1" (Figure 8-11 (24) ). In this example, the text display and special cover image are displayed on a layer higher than the images related to battle effects, and the text display portion of the text display and special cover image changes to a transparent mode, so that it is displayed on the lower layer. A display is performed in which an image related to a battle effect is visible, but the structure is not limited to this. For example, using a so-called mask function, an image related to a battle effect is superimposed on a character display ( In other words, an effect display that is displayed (in the shape of a character display) may be performed. A similar configuration may be used for an effect display in which a character display changes to a transparent mode, which will be described later.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (25), the character display "1" which has become transparent is displayed in an enlarged manner, and it is related to the battle effect that it becomes visible through the enlarged character display "1". An effect display that also enlarges the image area is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (26), the special cover image that covered the entire display area of the image display device 5 and the character display "1" that was displayed superimposed on the special cover image are erased. An effect display is performed in which an image related to a battle effect that has been displayed on a lower layer is displayed without being obstructed. At the timing shown in FIG. 8-11 (26), as a battle effect, an effect display is performed in which the enemy character image 006IWC11 stands with the center decoration pattern "1" as a shield.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-11 (27), an effect display is performed again in which a special cover image expressed as a flash of light spreading radially is displayed superimposed on the enemy character image 006IWC11. Since the special covering image displayed here is also non-transparent, it is displayed in an overlapping manner, making a part of the enemy character image 006IWC11 invisible.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (28), the special covering image is enlarged and displayed, and the brush image 001IWG04 is displayed superimposed on the special covering image along with an image in which the last stroke of the character "sho" is not written. An effect display is performed. Note that at the timing shown in Figure 8-12 (28), the special covering image is not enlarged to the entire display area, and the effect display is such that the background image of the radiation pattern (that is, the image related to the battle effect) is partially visible. ing.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (29), the special cover image is enlarged and displayed to cover the entire display area (that is, the image related to the battle effect is covered and cannot be seen), and is displayed in a superimposed manner. An effect display is performed in which the brush image 001IWG04 writes the last stroke of the character "sho". At this time, a light emitting effect image may be displayed on the part traced by the brush image 001IWG04 and around it. When the character "geki" is written, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (30), the brush image 001IWG04 is erased and an effect display is performed in which the character "geki" is displayed.

Next, the character display "Goku", which had been displayed in a non-transparent manner until the timing shown in FIG. (It may immediately change to a transparent mode), an effect display is performed in which the image related to the battle effect displayed on the lower layer can be seen through the character display "Getsu" (Figure 8-12 (31) ).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (32), the character display "GE" which has become transparent is displayed in an enlarged manner, and it is related to the battle effect that it becomes visible through the enlarged character display "GE". An effect display that also enlarges the image area is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (33), the special cover image that covered the entire display area of the image display device 5 and the character display "Ki" that was displayed superimposed on the special cover image are erased. An effect display is performed in which an image related to a battle effect that has been displayed on a lower layer is displayed without being obstructed. At the timing shown in FIG. 8-12 (33), an effect display in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 clenches a fist is performed as a battle effect.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (34), an effect display is performed in which the special energy image 006IWG05 is displayed in a transparent manner superimposed on the right fist of the second ally character image 006IWC02. Thereafter, an effect display is performed in which the display area of the image display device 5 is whited out. In this example, the pre-operation promotion effect is not suddenly executed when the image related to the battle effect shown in Figure 8-12 (33) is displayed, but instead the operation promotion advance effect is executed as shown in Figure 8-12 (34). The special energy image 006IWG05 used in the pre-operation promotion performance is displayed when the image related to the battle performance is displayed, and then the pre-operation promotion performance is started. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the sense of discomfort caused by transitions in presentation (ie, video switching).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (35), only the special energy image 006IWG05 displayed in the center of the display area of the image display device 5 continues to be displayed, and the effect image related to the battle effect that was displayed in the lower layer Instead, a background image with multiple star shapes is displayed. At this time, a push button image 006IWG02 imitating the push button 31B is displayed at the center of the special energy image 006IWG05.

The push button image 006IWG02 can be displayed in an ineffective manner that suggests that operation detection is ineffective, and in an effective manner that suggests that operation detection is valid. In this example, the push button image 006IWG02 with the text "PUSH" attached as shown in Figure 8-13 (43) is the effective mode, and the push button image 006IWG02 with the text "PUSH" as shown in Figure 8-12 (35) etc. The push button image 006IWG02 without the display "PUSH" is an ineffective mode. Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (43), when the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed in the valid mode, a meter image indicating the remaining period of the operation valid period is simultaneously displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (36), an effect display is displayed in which the ineffective push button image 006IWG02 located at the center of the special energy image 006IWG05 absorbs and expands the surrounding special energy image 006IWG05. After that, an effect display is performed in which the display area of the image display device 5 is whited out.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (37), in the display area of the image display device 5, the character display "ichigeki", which is a combination of the character display "ichi" and the character display "geki" that were displayed earlier, is displayed in black. In addition to being displayed on the background image, a pattern consisting of multiple star shapes is displayed superimposed on the character display "Ichigo", and a medium-sized push button image 006IWG02 in an ineffective mode is displayed superimposed on the pattern. A performance display is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (38), the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode changes from medium size to small size, and furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (39), push button image 006IWG02 changes to small size. An effect display that changes from size to extremely small size is performed.

Next, in a complete turn, the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode changes from a very small size to a medium size as shown in FIG. 8-13 (40), and further, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (41). An effect display is performed in which the push button image 006IWG02 changes from medium size to large size. At this time, similar to the push button image 006IWG02, an effect display is performed in which the character display ``one blow'' changes from the medium size (as in the scene shown in FIG. 8-16 (37)) to the large size. Also, at this time, an effect display is performed in which the character display ``Ichigo'' changes from the previous state (the scene shown in FIG. 8-13 (37)) in which it is not filled in to a state in which it is filled in.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (42), the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode and the character display "ONE BLOW" are erased, and an effect display is performed in which a pattern consisting of a plurality of star shapes is enlarged and displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (43), an effect display is performed as a battle effect in which the attack by the second ally character image 006IWC02 reaches the center decoration symbol "1", and a character is displayed as an action promotion display as a movement promotion effect. An effect display is performed in which the push button image 006IWG02 with the display "PUSH" attached is displayed (that is, the push button image 006IWG02 in the effective mode is displayed). At this time, a meter image indicating the remaining period of the valid operation period is also displayed.

As described above, when executing the second battle deciding button effect (single press), before executing the action promotion effect shown in FIG. 8-13 (43), The motion promotion advance effect shown in FIG. 8-13 (42) is executed.

Next, a case will be described in which a second battle-determining button performance (repeated hits) is executed as a decisive action performance. Even when executing the second battle deciding button effect (repeated hits), the second battle deciding button effect (repeated hits) is supported before executing the movement promotion effect corresponding to the second battle deciding button effect (repeated hits). Execute pre-production to promote movement.

Specifically, after the scene shown in Figure 8-11 (20), as shown in Figure 8-14 (44), a special covering image expressed as a flash of light spreading radially on the image display device 5 appears when the enemy An effect display is performed that is superimposed on the character image 006IWC11. Since the special covering image displayed here is non-transparent, it is displayed in an overlapping manner and a part of the enemy character image 006IWC11 cannot be visually recognized.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (45), the special covering image is enlarged and displayed, and the brush image 001IWG04 is displayed superimposed on the special covering image along with an image in which the last stroke of the character "ren" is not written. An effect display is performed. Note that at the timing shown in Figure 8-14 (45), the special covering image is not enlarged to the entire display area, and the effect display is such that the background image of the radiation pattern (that is, the image related to the battle effect) is partially visible. ing.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (46), the special cover image is enlarged and displayed to cover the entire display area (that is, the image related to the battle effect is covered and cannot be seen), and is displayed in a superimposed manner. An effect display is performed in which the brush image 001IWG04 writes the last stroke of the character "ren". At this time, a light emitting effect image may be displayed on the part traced by the brush image 001IWG04 and around it. When the character "Ren" is written, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (47), the brush image 001IWG04 is erased and an effect display is performed in which the character "Ren" is displayed.

Next, the character display "Ren", which was displayed in a non-transparent manner until the timing shown in FIG. 8-14 (47), changes to a transparent manner (for example, it may change so that its transparency gradually increases, (It may immediately change to a transparent mode), an effect display is performed in which the image related to the battle effect displayed on the lower layer can be seen through the character display "ren" (Figure 8-14 (48) ).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (49), the character display "Ren" which has become transparent is displayed in an enlarged manner, and it is related to the battle effect that it becomes visible through the enlarged character display "Ren". An effect display that also enlarges the image area is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (50), the special cover image that covered the entire display area of the image display device 5 and the character display ``Ren'' that was displayed superimposed on the special cover image are erased. An effect display is performed in which an image related to a battle effect that has been displayed on a lower layer is displayed without being obstructed. At the timing shown in FIG. 8-14 (50), as a battle effect, an effect display is performed in which the enemy character image 006IWC11 stands with the center decoration pattern "1" as a shield.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (51), an effect display is performed again in which the special covering image is displayed superimposed on the enemy character image 006IWC11. Since the special covering image displayed here is also non-transparent, it is displayed in an overlapping manner, making a part of the enemy character image 006IWC11 invisible.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (52), the special covering image is enlarged and displayed, and the brush image 001IWG04 is displayed superimposed on the special covering image along with an image in which the last stroke of the character "uchi" is not written. An effect display is performed. Note that at the timing shown in Figure 8-15 (52), the special covering image is not enlarged to the entire display area, and the effect display is such that the background image of the radiation pattern (that is, the image related to the battle effect) is partially visible. ing.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (53), the special cover image is enlarged and displayed to cover the entire display area (that is, the image related to the battle effect is covered and cannot be seen), and is displayed in a superimposed manner. An effect display is performed in which the brush image 001IWG04 writes the last stroke of the character "uchi". At this time, a light emitting effect image may be displayed on the part traced by the brush image 001IWG04 and around it. When the character "uchi" is written, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (54), the brush image 001IWG04 is erased and an effect display is performed in which the character "uchi" is displayed.

Next, the character display "Uchi", which had been displayed in a non-transparent manner until the timing shown in FIG. (It may immediately change to a transparent mode), an effect display is performed in which the image related to the battle effect displayed on the lower layer can be seen through the character display "Uchi" (Figure 8-15 (55) ).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (56), the character display "Uchi" which has become transparent is displayed in an enlarged manner, and it is related to the battle effect that it becomes visible through the enlarged character display "Uchi". An effect display that also enlarges the image area is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (57), the special cover image that covered the entire display area of the image display device 5 and the character display "Uchi" that was displayed superimposed on the special cover image are erased. An effect display is performed in which an image related to a battle effect that has been displayed on a lower layer is displayed without being obstructed. At the timing shown in FIG. 8-15 (57), an effect display in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 clenches a fist is performed as a battle effect.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (58), an effect display is performed in which the special energy image 006IWG05 is displayed in a transparent manner superimposed on the right fist of the second ally character image 006IWC02. Thereafter, an effect display is performed in which the display area of the image display device 5 is whited out. In this example, the pre-operation promotion effect is not suddenly executed when the image related to the battle effect shown in Fig. 8-12 (57) is displayed, but rather as shown in Fig. 8-15 (58). The special energy image 006IWG05 used in the pre-operation promotion performance is displayed when the image related to the battle performance is displayed, and then the pre-operation promotion performance is started. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the sense of discomfort caused by transitions in presentation (ie, video switching).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (59), only the special energy image 006IWG05 displayed in the center of the display area of the image display device 5 continues to be displayed, and the effect image related to the battle effect that was displayed in the lower layer Instead, a background image with multiple star shapes is displayed. Also, at this time, a push button image 006IWG02 in an ineffective mode is displayed at the center of the special energy image 006IWG05.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (60), a display is displayed in which the ineffective push button image 006IWG02 located at the center of the special energy image 006IWG05 absorbs and expands the surrounding special energy image 006IWG05. After that, an effect display is performed in which the display area of the image display device 5 is whited out.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (61), in the display area of the image display device 5, the character display "Run", which is a combination of the character display "Ren" and the character display "Uchi" that were displayed earlier, is displayed in black. In addition to being displayed on the background image, a pattern in which multiple star shapes are superimposed is displayed superimposed on the character display "Continuous Hit", and the push button image 006IWG02 in the inactive mode is displayed in medium size superimposed on the pattern. An effect display is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (62), the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode changes from medium size to small size, and furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (63), the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode An effect display is performed in which the image 006IWG02 changes from a small size to an extremely small size.

Next, in a complete turn, the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode changes from a very small size to a medium size as shown in FIG. 8-16 (64), and further, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (65). An effect display is performed in which the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode changes from medium size to large size. At this time, similar to the push button image 006IWG02, an effect display is performed in which the character display "repeated hits" changes from the medium size (as in the scene shown in FIG. 8-16 (61)) to the large size. Also, at this time, an effect display is performed in which the character display "Continuous Hit" changes from the previous state (scene shown in FIG. 8-16 (61)) without filling to the state with filling.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (66), the push button image 006IWG02 and the character display "Continuous Hit" are erased, and an effect display is performed in which a pattern in which a plurality of star shapes are superimposed is enlarged and displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (67), an effect display is performed as a battle effect in which the attack by the second ally character image 006IWC02 reaches the center decoration symbol "1", and a character is displayed as an action promotion display as a movement promotion effect. An effect display is performed in which the push button image 006IWG02 with the display "PUSH" attached is displayed (that is, the push button image 006IWG02 in the effective mode is displayed). At this time, a meter image indicating the remaining period of the valid operation period is also displayed.

As described above, when executing the second battle-determining button effect (sequential presses), before executing the movement promotion effect shown in FIG. 8-16 (67), 8-16 (67) is executed.

Next, in the super reach B (second battle) performance, the performance after the motion promotion performance corresponding to the decisive motion performance is executed will be explained. When the motion promotion effect shown in FIG. 8-13 (43) or FIG. 8-16 (67) is started, as shown in FIG. 8-17 (68) to (74), the movement promotion effect is As the remaining amount of the meter gradually decreases, an effect display is performed in which the inner decoration symbol "1", which has become a shield, gradually separates. In addition, at this time, the push button image 006IWG02 in the effective mode is in a mode in which the pressed part of the push button 31B is lit (Fig. 8-17 (68) (70) (72) (74)) and in a state in which it is off (Fig. 8-17 (69) (71) (73)) are repeatedly displayed.

In addition, in this example, the action promotion effect is configured to be executed in a common manner when both the second battle deciding button effect (single press) and the second battle deciding button effect (repeated presses) are executed. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the motion promotion effects may be executed in different manners. For example, in the case of the second battle-determining button presentation (repeated hits), text or images suggesting repeated presses may be displayed in the action promotion presentation.

During the period shown in Figures 8-17 (68) to (74), when a press operation corresponding to a decisive action production or a repeated tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions is performed, immediately in accordance with the fluctuating display result, the screen shown in Figure 8-18 (75) is performed. Alternatively, the effect display shown in FIG. 8-20 (89) is performed.

Variation pattern PB2-4 (Super Reach B) In the case of a jackpot, if a press operation corresponding to the decisive action production or a repeated tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions is performed during the action validity period (or when the action validity period has elapsed), the image A background image of a radial pattern is displayed on the display device 5 (FIG. 8-18 (75)), and 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 device 5 (FIG. 8 -18 (76)). Next, the movable body 32 stops for a predetermined period at the presentation position in front of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-18 (77)).

After that, the movable body 32 is controlled to return from the production position to the initial position, and the attack from the second ally character image 006IWC02 to the enemy character image 006IWC11 becomes effective, and the center decoration pattern "1" that was a shield is destroyed. At the same time, an effect display is performed in which the attacked enemy character image 006IWC11 is blown away (FIG. 8-18 (78)).

Next, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a jubilant manner (FIG. 8-18 (79)), and then the previous effect display including the second ally character image 006IWC02 and enemy character image 006IWC11 (FIG. 8-18 (79)) is displayed. 79)) A light effect image is displayed superimposed on the image (FIG. 8-18 (80)), and the light effect image is enlarged to display an effect that covers the second ally character image 006IWC02 and the enemy character image 006IWC11. (Figure 8-18 (81)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transparent, the covered second ally character image 006IWC02 and enemy character image 006IWC11 are not visible.

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 manner appears (FIG. 8-18 (82)). . Then, the jackpot symbol "222" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-19 (83)), and enlarged until it covers the entire screen (FIG. 8-19 (84)). Thereafter, the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation was being performed before the reach is established, and is displayed as if shaking four times (FIG. 8-19 (85)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily hidden and the characters "Complete Settlement" are displayed (FIG. 8-19 (86)). Then, the image display device 5 whites out and the second battle effect of Super Reach B ends, and the same background image as when the normal variation before reaching is displayed is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed. is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8-19 (87)). After that, the jackpot symbol "222" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-19 (88)). Note that in this example, the temporary stop display is not a mode in which the display is completely stopped, but a mode in which the display is displayed while shaking slightly.

If the variation pattern PA2-4 (super reach B) is off, if a press operation corresponding to the decisive action production or a repeated tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions is performed during the action effective period (or when the action effective period has elapsed), the second 2 The attack from ally character image 006IWC02 to enemy character image 006IWC11 is not effective, and the center decoration pattern "1" that was serving as a shield is not destroyed, but an effect display that changes from the cracked state to the normal state again is performed. (Figure 8-20 (89)).

Next, the enemy character image 006IWC11 in a pose with both hands raised diagonally is displayed (FIG. 8-20 (90)), and the center decoration pattern "1" is further displayed superimposed on the enemy character image 006IWC11 (FIG. 8-20 (91)). Then, after the middle decoration pattern "1" which is a wrong combination is displayed in a shaking manner four times, the image display device 5 goes black out (Figure 8-20 (92)), and the second battle effect of Super Reach B starts. finish.

When the second battle effect of Super Reach B ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation was performed before the Reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "212" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8- 20(93)). After that, the missed symbol "212" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-20 (94)).

In this example, as shown in Figures 8-8 to 8-20, during the execution period of the second battle performance of Super Reach B, the movement promotion effect is executed before the movement promotion effect is executed. Execute pre-production to promote movements that suggest the following. In addition, in the movement promotion advance production, the first suggestion display (i.e., the character display "ichi" or "ren") and the second suggestion display related to the first suggestion display (i.e., the character display "geki" or "uta") is displayed, and a combination of the first suggestion display and the second suggestion display (ie, "single blow" or "successive blow") suggests the mode of the motion required for the decisive motion performance.

Next, the performance period of the battle performance, the movement promotion preliminary performance, and the movement promotion performance in the super reach B (second battle) performance will be explained. FIG. 8-21 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the performance period of the battle performance, the movement promotion preliminary performance, and the movement promotion performance in the super reach B (second battle) performance.

FIG. 8-21 shows the effect display displayed over time on the image display device 5, the horizontal axis (A) shows the effect display related to the battle effect, and the horizontal axis (B) shows the effect display related to the battle effect. A motion promotion advance performance and a performance display related to the movement promotion performance are shown. In the example shown in FIG. 8-21, it is assumed that the effects are displayed in the order of timings T1 to T9.

As shown in FIG. 8-21, when the Super Reach B (second battle) effect is started, the first scene of the battle effect (for example, FIGS. 8-10 (17) to 8-11 (corresponding to the scene shown in (21), the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-10 (17) to (19), and the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-14 (44) to (45)) are displayed.

Next, when timing T1 (corresponding to the timing shown in FIG. 8-11 (22) or FIG. 8-14 (46), for example) is reached, the effect display related to the battle effect is not displayed on the image display device 5, A first suggestion display (that is, a character display "ichi" or "ren") based on the movement promotion advance effect is displayed.

Next, when timing T2 (for example, corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-11 (24) or FIG. 8-14 (48)) is reached, the image display device 5 displays the first suggestion display (i.e., The character display "One" or "Ren") changes from a non-transparent mode to a transparent mode, and the first suggestion display is transmitted through the second scene of the battle production (for example, Figure 8-11 (24) to Figure 8-12 (corresponding to the scene shown in (28) and the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-14 (48) to 8-15 (52)) are displayed.

Next, when timing T3 (for example, corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-11 (26) or FIG. 8-14 (50)) is reached, the image display device 5 displays the first suggestion display (i.e., The character display "One" or "Ren") is erased, and the second scene of the battle performance (for example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-11 (24) to 8-12 (28) and Figure 8-14 (48)) is deleted. ~ corresponding to the scene shown in Figure 8-15 (52)) are displayed.

Next, when timing T4 (for example, corresponding to the timing shown in FIG. 8-12 (29) or FIG. 8-15 (53)) is reached, the effect display related to the battle effect is not displayed on the image display device 5, A second suggestion display (that is, a character display "shu" or "uchi") based on the movement promotion advance effect is displayed.

Next, when timing T5 (for example, corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-12 (31) or FIG. 8-15 (55)) is reached, the image display device 5 displays a second suggestion display (i.e., The character display ("Tsuki" or "Uchi") changes from a non-transparent mode to a transparent mode, and the second suggestion display is passed through to the third scene of the battle production (for example, Figure 8-12 (31) to (34)). 8-15 (55) to (58)) are displayed.

Next, when timing T6 (for example, corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-12 (33) or FIG. 8-15 (57)) is reached, the image display device 5 displays a second suggestion display (i.e., The character display "One" or "Ren") is erased, and the third scene of the battle production (for example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-12 (31) to (34) and Figures 8-15 (55) to (58) (corresponding to the scene shown in ) is displayed. Also, at this time, a special display (ie, special energy image 006IWG05) is displayed superimposed on the third scene of the battle performance, suggesting that an action promotion display will be displayed. Note that the display of the special display (that is, the special energy image 006IWG05) is performed as part of the motion promotion advance performance.

Next, when timing T7 (for example, corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-12 (35) or FIG. 8-15 (59)) is reached, the third scene of the battle effect is erased on the image display device 5, and a special A display (that is, special energy image 006IWG05) and an operation promotion display of an ineffective mode (that is, push button image 006IWG02) are displayed.

Next, when timing T8 (for example, corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-13 (37) or FIG. 8-16 (61)) is reached, the special display (i.e., special energy image 006IWG05) disappears on the image display device 5. Then, an action mode suggestion display (i.e., character display "one hit" or "successive hit") is displayed based on a combination of the first suggestion display and the second suggestion display.

Next, when timing T9 (for example, corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-13 (43) or FIG. 8-16 (67)) is reached, the fourth scene of the battle effect (for example, FIG. -13 (corresponding to the scene shown in 43) or the scene shown in FIG. 8-16 (67)) is displayed, and at the same time, the push button image 006IWG02 in an effective mode is displayed as a movement promotion display by movement promotion effect.

In the configuration of this feature section 001IW, as shown in FIG. 8-21, when the movement promotion effect is executed during the execution period of the battle effect by Super Reach B, the first scene in the battle effect (for example, in FIG. 8-10) 17) - The first suggestion after the scenes shown in Figure 8-11 (21), the scenes shown in Figures 8-10 (17) to (19), and Figures 8-14 (44) to (45)) are displayed. The display (i.e., the character display "ichi" or "ren") is displayed, and then the second scene in the battle performance (for example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-11 (24) to 8-12 (28), and Figure 8 -14 (48) to the scenes shown in Figures 8-15 (52)), a second suggestion display (i.e., the character display "shu" or "uchi") is displayed, and then an action promotion display is displayed. Ru. According to such a configuration, the first suggestion display and the second suggestion display suggesting that the action promotion performance is to be executed are displayed alternately with the battle production scene, so that the battle production and the action promotion production are different. It is possible to improve the interlocking nature and increase the player's desire to make a motion with respect to the motion detection means.

In addition, in the configuration of this feature section 001IW, the first suggestion display related to the movement promotion advance performance is the character display "ichi" or "ren", and the second suggestion display is the character display "tsu" or "uchi". , an operation mode suggestion display (i.e., character display "single hit" or "repeated hit") that is a combination of the first suggestion display and the second suggestion display indicates the operation mode (for example, a press operation or a repeated hit operation) for the motion detection means. . According to such a configuration, the player's motivation for movement can be stimulated by displaying text regarding the movement mode for the movement detection means during intervals between a plurality of scenes in the battle performance.

Furthermore, in the configuration of this feature section 001IW, as shown in FIG. In other words, the length of the display period of the character display ``shu'' or ``shu'' is two seconds. If the display period of one of the first suggestion display and the second suggestion display related to the movement promotion advance performance is lengthened, the impression of the other one will be weakened, and there is a risk that the performance effect will be reduced. For example, by not providing a difference in display period between the first suggestion display and the second suggestion display, it is possible to prevent the production effect from deteriorating.

In addition, in the configuration of this characteristic part 001IW, as shown in FIG. 8-21, the first suggestion display (that is, the character display "ichi" or "ren") is displayed during the period from timing T1 to T2 of the display period T1 to T3. Over the period from timing T2 to T3, the image of the lower layer is displayed in a non-transparent manner so that it is not visible, and at least a portion of the second scene is displayed in a transparent manner so that it is visible. In addition, the second suggestion display (i.e., the character display "shu" or "uchi") is displayed in a non-transparent manner that makes the image of the lower layer invisible, over the period from timing T4 to T5 of the display period T4 to T6. During the period from timing T5 to T6, at least a portion of the third scene is displayed in a transparent manner that is visible. With this configuration, it is possible to connect the display of the first suggestion display (i.e., character display "ichi" or "ren") related to the action promotion advance performance with the second scene related to the battle performance, and to connect the display of the first suggestion display related to the action promotion advance performance with the second scene related to the battle performance. The display of the two images and the connection with the third scene related to the battle performance can be performed without giving a sense of discomfort to the player.

In addition, in the configuration of this feature section 001IW, as shown in Figure 8-21, the display period (main (2 seconds in this example) and the display period (2 seconds in this example) of the second suggestive display (i.e., the character display "Gate" or "Uchi") that is displayed after the second scene. The display period (4 seconds in this example) of the character image (that is, the character display "one hit" or "successive hit") is longer. With such a configuration, after the player's motivation to move is sufficiently increased by the first suggestion display and the second suggestion display, the motion can be suitably promoted.

In addition, in the configuration of this feature section 001IW, during the display period of the third scene of the battle performance, a special display suggesting that an action promotion display is displayed (for example, a character shown in FIGS. 8-12 (33) to (34) It is possible to display the special energy image 006IWG05) displayed near the right hand of A push button image 006IWG02) is displayed. With this configuration, it is possible to connect the effects from the third scene of the battle effect to the display of the action promotion image of the ineffective mode without giving the player a sense of discomfort due to the special display.

In addition, in the configuration of this feature section 001IW, the battle effect is an effect in which multiple types of characters appear, including at least the enemy character image 006IWC11 and the second ally character image 006IWC02, and the second scene is an effect in which the enemy character image 006IWC11 is displayed. (For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-11 (24) to (27), the enemy character image 006IWC11 is displayed in the second scene), and in the third scene, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed. This is the scene to be displayed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-12 (31) to (34), in the third scene, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the performance from becoming monotonous, and it is possible to execute a battle performance that increases the player's desire to make a motion with respect to the motion detection means.

Next, a description will be given of changes in the effect display displayed by the movement promotion advance effect. FIG. 8-22 is an explanatory diagram showing changes in performance display related to motion promotion advance performance. The horizontal axis (A) of FIG. 8-22 shows the performance display related to the movement mode suggestion display (i.e., the character display "one hit" or "sequential hit"), and the horizontal axis (B) shows the movement promotion display of the ineffective mode. (that is, the push button image 006IWG02 in an ineffective mode) is shown. In the example shown in FIG. 8-22, the effects are displayed in the order of timings T8, T8a, T8b, and T9, and the timings T8 and T9 shown in FIG. 8-22 are performed at timings T8 and T9 shown in FIG. Corresponds to each.

As shown in FIG. 8-22, when timing T8 (corresponding to the timing shown in FIG. 8-13 (37) or FIG. 8-16 (61), for example) is reached, a motion mode suggestion display is displayed as a motion promotion advance effect. (that is, the character display "one hit" or "sequential hit") is displayed in an unfilled/medium size format, and an effect display is performed in which the push button image 006IWG02 in an ineffective format is displayed in a medium size format.

Next, the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode changes from medium size to extremely small size until timing T8a (for example, corresponding to the timing shown in FIG. 8-13 (39) or FIG. 8-16 (63)) is reached. A performance display is performed.

Next, the push button image 006IWG02 in the ineffective mode changes from the extremely small size to the large size until timing T8b (corresponding to the timing shown in FIG. 8-13 (41) or FIG. 8-16 (65), for example) is reached. A performance display is performed. Also, at this time, an effect display is performed in which the action mode suggestion display (namely, the character display "one hit" or "successive hit") changes from a non-filled/medium size mode to a filled/large size mode.

After that, when timing T9 (e.g., corresponds to the timing shown in FIG. 8-13 (43) or FIG. 8-16 (67)) is reached, the push button image 006IWG02 in the effective mode is displayed as an operation promotion effect. Display is performed.

In the configuration of this feature section 001IW, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22, when the movement promotion effect is executed during the execution period of the battle effect by Super Reach B, the second suggestion display (i.e., the character display " After that, the third scene in the battle production (for example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-12 (31) to (34), and the scenes shown in Figures 8-15 (55) to (58)) is displayed. After the scene shown in FIG. Button image 006IWG02) is displayed in a medium size (for example, the medium size shown in Figure 8-13 (37)), and then the operation promotion image of the ineffective mode is displayed in a large size larger than the medium size (for example, in Figure 8-13 (37)). (41)), and then an effective motion promotion image is displayed as a motion promotion effect. According to such a configuration, before the detection of a motion by the motion detection means is enabled, a character image relating to the motion mode for the motion detection means is displayed, so that the player can know what kind of motion he or she should perform. Furthermore, by displaying the push button image 006IWG02 in an ineffective mode in a mode that changes from medium size to large size, it is possible to increase the player's desire to make an action with respect to the action detection means.

In addition, in the configuration of this feature section 001IW, as shown in FIG. 8-22, in the movement promotion advance effect, the movement promotion display in the ineffective mode (that is, the push button image 006IWG02) is of medium size (for example, the movement promotion display shown in FIG. 8-13) 8-13 (37)), then it is displayed in a manner that changes to a very small size smaller than the medium size (for example, the very small size shown in Figure 8-13 (39)), and then from the medium size to the large size. The size changes from a very small size to a large size (for example, in Figure 8-13 41) is displayed in a changing manner. According to such a configuration, the movement promotion display in the ineffective mode is displayed in a mode that changes from medium size to extremely small size, and then further displayed in a mode that changes from extremely small size to large size, thereby promoting the player's movement. It is possible to stimulate motivation and promote suitable movement.

In addition, in the configuration of this feature section 001IW, as shown in FIG. , as shown in Figure 8-13 (37), when the unfilled/medium-sized character display "One-shot") is displayed and the large-sized motion promotion image of the ineffective mode is displayed, the character image of the second mode is displayed. (For example, the filled-in/large-sized character display "Ichigo" shown in FIG. 8-13 (41)) is displayed. According to such a configuration, by displaying the character image in the first mode and the second mode, it is possible to increase the player's motivation to make a motion with respect to the motion detection means.

(Super Reach A (1st battle) production executed in low probability state)
Next, the super reach A (first battle) effect executed in a low probability state will be explained. FIGS. 8-23 to 8-31 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach A (first battle) executed in a low probability state.

In the Super Reach A (first battle) performance, when the first battle deciding button performance (single press) is executed as a decisive action performance, the one shown in Figure 8-23 (of Figures 8-23 to 8-31) 1) to (8), Figure 8-24 (9) to (16), Figure 8-25 (17) to (24), Figure 8-26 (25) to (26), Figure 8-27 (27) The screen changes in the order of ~(32). After that, if the fluctuating display result is a jackpot, the screen changes in the order of Figure 8-29 (40) to (47) and Figure 8-30 (48) to (53), and the fluctuating display result is a loss. In this case, the screen changes in the order of (54) to (59) in FIG. 8-31.

In addition, in the Super Reach A (first battle) performance, when the first battle deciding lever performance is executed as a deciding action performance, among Figures 8-23 to 8-31, Figure 8-23 (1) - (8), Figure 8-24 (9) - (16), Figure 8-25 (17) - (24), Figure 8-26 (25) - (26), Figure 8-28 (33) - ( The screen changes in the order of 39). After that, if the fluctuating display result is a jackpot, the screen changes in the order of Figure 8-29 (40) to (47) and Figure 8-30 (48) to (53), and the fluctuating display result is a loss. In this case, the screen changes in the order of (54) to (59) in FIG. 8-31.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-31, after a losing symbol ("327") is displayed as the display result of the previous fluctuation display on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-23 (1)), the fluctuation pattern PB2-3 (Super Reach A) jackpot or fluctuation pattern PA2-3 (Super Reach A) starts a fluctuation display based on the loss (FIG. 8-23 (2)).

Next, when the left and right decorative patterns are "1" and the reach state is reached (Fig. 8-23 (3)), the normal reach effect in which the center decoration pattern scrolls at a low speed is executed, and then the image display device 5 whites out. , the development preview performance starts (Figure 8-23 (4)).

In the development preview performance, first ally character 006IWC01 appears (FIG. 8-23 (4)), followed by a performance display in which second ally character 006IWC02 appears (FIG. 8-23 (5)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the characters "Development" are displayed superimposed on the first ally character 006IWC01 and the second ally character 006IWC02 (FIG. 8-23 (6)). Next, the first ally character 006IWC01, the second ally character 006IWC02, and the first mini-character 006IWC03 are displayed to multiply, superimposed on the word "Development" (Figure 8-23 (7)). An effect display is performed in which the 1 mini-character 006IWC03 is displayed so as to fill the entire screen (FIG. 8-23 (8)).

After that, when the first battle effect of Super Reach A starts, the proliferated first mini-character 006IWC03 gradually disappears (Figure 8-24 (9)), and eventually all the first mini-characters 006IWC03 disappear. Display is performed (Figure 8-24 (10)).

Next, a display is performed in which the third enemy character 006IWC13 appears to land on the ground (Figure 8-24 (11)), and then the background image is switched to a white one, and the words "Decisive Battle" are displayed in the center of the screen. (Figure 8-24 (12)). Note that the character display of "Decisive Battle" displayed in FIG. 8-24 (12) is displayed at the forefront until the timing shown in FIG. 8-24 (15).

Next, a first superimposed image in which the second ally character 006IWC02 and a plurality of star shapes are drawn is displayed on the left, and a third superimposed image is displayed on the right, sandwiching the parallelogram area containing the words "Decisive Battle" in the center of the screen. A second superimposed image depicting the enemy character 006IWC13 and a plurality of broken hearts is displayed (FIG. 8-24 (13)).

Next, the first superimposed image on the left and the second superimposed image on the right are moved to the center and glued together, and the characters "Decisive Battle" are superimposed and displayed on these images (FIG. 8-24 (14)) . After that, the first superimposed image on the left and the second superimposed image on the right move to their original positions, and Super Reach A (first battle ) A background image for presentation is displayed. The words "Decisive Battle" are superimposed on the background image for Super Reach A (first battle) performance (FIG. 8-24 (15)).

Next, the first superimposed image on the left side and the second superimposed image on the right side are erased, and a background image for super reach A (first battle) effect is displayed in the area where they were displayed. Furthermore, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 006IWC02 and the third enemy character 006IWC13 face each other (FIG. 8-24 (16)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 006IWC13 starts an attack against the second ally character 006IWC02 (FIG. 8-25 (17)). A flame effect image is displayed around the third enemy character 006IWC13 (Figure 8-25 (18)), and an effect display is performed in which a huge spherical energy bullet is formed above the head of the third enemy character 006IWC13 ( Figure 8-25 (19)). Next, a production display is performed in which the words "Mugen Bakushinsho" are added to the energy bullet (FIG. 8-25 (20)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the second ally character 006IWC02 starts an attack against the third enemy character 006IWC13 (FIG. 8-25 (21)). A flame effect image is displayed around the second ally character 006IWC02 (Figure 8-25 (22)), and an effect display is performed in which a huge energy bullet is output from above the second ally character 006IWC02 (Figure 8-25). 25(23)). Next, an effect display is performed in which the words "Delta Break" are added to the energy bullet (FIG. 8-25 (24)).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the spherical energy bullet formed by the third enemy character 006IWC13 collides with the energy bullet output from the second ally character 006IWC02 (FIG. 8-25 (25)). Next, while the effect display of energy bullets colliding in the center of the screen continues, the first superimposed image with the second ally character 006IWC02 and multiple star shapes drawn is displayed in the triangular area at the bottom left of the screen, and the first superimposed image in the top right of the screen is displayed. A second superimposed image in which the third enemy character 006IWC13 and a plurality of broken hearts are drawn is displayed in a triangular area (FIG. 8-25 (26)).

Here, if it is decided to execute the first battle deciding button effect (single press) as a decisive action effect, after the screen shown in Figure 8-26 (26), the screen shown in Figures 8-27 (27) to ( The screen changes in the order of 32), and if it is decided to execute the first battle deciding lever effect as the deciding action effect, after the screen shown in figure 8-26 (26), the screen shown in figure 8-28 (33) The screen changes in the order of ~(39).

First, a case will be described in which the first battle deciding button effect (single press) is executed. When executing the first battle deciding button effect (single press), before executing the movement promotion effect corresponding to the first battle deciding button effect (single press), the first battle deciding button effect (single press) ) is executed in advance to promote movement.

Specifically, after the screen shown in FIG. 8-26 (26), the display area of the image display device 5 darkens as shown in FIG. 8-27 (27) (for example, the effect image that was displayed just before is displayed with reduced brightness and saturation), and an effect display is performed in which a plurality (three in this example) of mini push button images 006IWG02a imitating the push button 31B are displayed in a superimposed manner.

Next, an effect display is performed in which the multiple mini-push button images 006IWG02a move so as to gather in one place, and as shown in FIG. 8-27 (28), when they gather in one place, an effect image that shines strongly around them is displayed. A performance display is performed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-27 (29), the display area of the image display device 5 brightens (for example, is displayed with the brightness and saturation before darkening), and the push button image 006IWG02 in the active mode is superimposed. An effect display is performed. At this time, a meter image indicating the remaining period of the valid operation period is also displayed.

When the operation promotion effect shown in Figure 8-27 (29) is started, the remaining amount of the meter image gradually decreases as the operation validity period passes, as shown in Figures 8-27 (29) to (32). A performance display is performed. In addition, at this time, the push button image 006IWG02 in the effective mode is in a state in which the pressed part of the push button 31B is lit (Fig. 8-27 (30) (32)) and in a state in which it is off (Fig. 8-27 (29)). (31)) A repeated effect display is performed.

In addition, during the valid operation period shown in Figures 8-27 (29) to (32), if a press operation corresponding to the first battle deciding button effect (single press) is performed, the operation in Figure 8-27 will immediately occur according to the fluctuating display results. 29 (40) or the effect display shown in FIG. 8-31 (54) is performed.

As described above, when executing the first battle deciding button effect (single press), before executing the action promotion effects shown in FIGS. 8-27 (29) to (32), The motion promotion advance effects shown in (27) to (28) are executed.

Next, a case will be described in which the first battle-determining lever effect is executed. Even when executing the first battle deciding lever performance, a pre-motion promotion performance corresponding to the first battle deciding lever performance is executed before executing the movement promotion performance corresponding to the first battle deciding lever performance.

Specifically, after the screen shown in Figure 8-26 (26), instead of the image related to the first battle effect that was displayed until just before, an operation lever image 006IWG06 imitating operation lever 001IW31C breaks through the glass. A scene appears (Fig. 8-28 (33)), and an effect display is performed in which glass fragments scatter (Fig. 8-28 (34)).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (35), an effect display is performed in which the text "Lever!" is displayed. Note that the character display "Lever!" is displayed in a manner superimposed on the operating lever image 006IWG06.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (36), the text "Knock it down!" and a meter image indicating the remaining period of operation validity are displayed, and the operating lever image 006IWG06 is displayed at a different display angle. A performance display is performed.

As shown in FIG. 8-28, when the motion promotion advance effects shown in FIGS. 8-28 (33) to (35) are being executed, the operation lever image 006IWG06 is the first image when the operation lever 001IW31C is viewed from the front. Displayed in a single-view display mode. The operating lever image 006IWG06 in the first viewpoint display mode corresponds to, for example, a front view of the operating lever 001IW31C. Then, when the motion promotion effects shown in FIGS. 8-28 (36) to (39) are being executed, the operation lever image 006IWG06 is the first image of the operation lever 001IW31C when viewed from the viewpoint of the player directly facing the game board. Displayed in a two-view display mode. The operating lever image 006IWG06 in the second viewpoint display mode corresponds to, for example, a perspective view of the operating lever 001IW31C. According to such a configuration, it is possible to increase the special feeling of executing the motion promotion performance by the motion promotion advance performance, and it is possible to increase the interest in the game. Further, by reproducing the actual angle of the operating lever as seen from the player's side, it is possible to promote suitable movements.

When the operation promotion effect shown in Figure 8-28 (36) is started, the remaining amount of the meter image gradually decreases as the operation validity period passes, as shown in Figures 8-28 (36) to (39). A performance display is performed. At this time, the operating lever image 006IWG06 is divided into a normal mode (Fig. 8-28 (36) (38)) showing a state in which the operating lever 001IW31C is not operated and a tilted state (Fig. 8-28 (38)) showing a state in which the operating lever 001IW31C is operated. 37) and (39)) are repeatedly displayed.

In addition, during the valid operation period shown in Figures 8-28 (36) to (39), when the lever corresponding to the first battle deciding lever button effect is performed, the operation in Figure 8-29 (40) is immediately performed according to the variable display result. ) or the effect display shown in FIG. 8-31 (54) is performed.

As described above, when executing the first battle-determining lever effect, before executing the movement promotion effects shown in FIGS. 8-28 (36) to (39), The pre-action promotion performance shown in (35) is executed.

Next, in the super reach A (first battle) performance, the performance after the motion promotion performance corresponding to the decisive motion performance is executed will be explained.

Variation pattern PB2-3 (Super Reach A) In the case of a jackpot, when the press operation or lever operation corresponding to the decisive action production is performed during the action validity period (or when the action validity period has elapsed), the second ally character 006IWC02 A background image with multiple star shapes is displayed (Figure 8-29 (40)). In this example, light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits rainbow-colored light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-29 (40). For example, in the scenes shown in Figures 8-29 (40) and 8-30 (50), the decorative light emitter blinks (flashes) in rainbow colors at high speed. ), in the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-30 (51) to (53), control is performed so that the decorative light emitters emit light slowly in rainbow colors.

Next, the second ally character 006IWC02 makes a peace sign (Figure 8-29 (41)), and then the word "Complete" is displayed in the upper left of the screen (Figure 8-29 (42)), and then in the upper right of the screen. ``Zen'' is displayed on the screen (Figure 8-29 (43)), ``Katsu'' is displayed on the bottom left of the screen (Figure 8-29 (44)), and ``Carri'' is displayed on the bottom right of the screen (Figure 8-29). 29 (45)) are displayed in sequence. Moreover, when all the characters of "Complete Settlement" are displayed, the center decoration symbol "1" which is a jackpot combination is displayed (FIG. 8-29 (45)).

Next, a light effect image is displayed (FIG. 8-29 (46)) superimposed on the immediately previous effect display (FIG. 8-29 (45)) including the second ally character 006IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1", The effect image of the light is enlarged to display an effect that covers the second ally character 006IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1" (FIG. 8-29 (48)). At this time, since the light effect image is non-transparent, the covered second ally character 006IWC02 and the center decoration pattern "1" are not visible.

Next, after the light effect image covers the entire screen, an effect display is performed in which a jackpot pattern "111" including a center decoration pattern "1" appears (FIG. 8-30 (48)). Then, the jackpot symbol "111" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-30 (49)) and enlarged to cover the entire screen (FIG. 8-30 (50)). Thereafter, the jackpot symbol "111" is displayed in the same size as when the normal fluctuation was being performed before the reach is established, and is displayed as if shaking four times (FIG. 8-30 (51)).

Then, the image display device 5 whites out and the first battle performance of Super Reach A ends, and the same background image as when the normal variation before reaching is displayed is displayed, and the jackpot symbol "111" is displayed. is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8-30 (52)). After that, the jackpot symbol "111" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-30 (53)).

If the variation pattern PA2-3 (super reach A) is off, when a press operation or lever operation corresponding to the determined motion production is performed during the motion validity period (or when the motion validity period has elapsed), the third enemy character 006IWC13 A background image depicting multiple broken hearts is displayed (Figure 8-31 (54)). In this example, the light emission control in which the decorative light emitter emits low-intensity white light is started from the scene shown in FIG. 8-31 (54).

Next, an effect display is performed in which the third enemy character 006IWC13 makes a peace sign (FIG. 8-31 (55)), and furthermore, a middle decoration pattern "2" is displayed superimposed on the third enemy character 006IWC13 (FIG. 8-31 (55)). -31(56)). Then, after the middle decoration pattern "2", which is an unsuccessful combination, is displayed in a swaying manner five times, the image display device 5 goes black (Figure 8-31 (57)), and the first battle effect of Super Reach A starts. finish.

When the first battle effect of Super Reach A ends, the same background image as when the normal fluctuation was performed before the Reach is established is displayed, and the losing symbol "121" is temporarily stopped and displayed (Figure 8- 31(58)). After that, the missed symbol "121" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-31 (59)).

In this characteristic part 001IW, even during the execution period of the battle effect by Super Reach A, movement promotion effects (for example, movement promotion effects corresponding to the first battle deciding button effect, movement promotion effects corresponding to the first battle deciding lever effect), ) and motion promotion advance effects (for example, the portions shown in FIGS. 8-27 (27) to (28) and the portions shown in FIGS. 8-28 (33) to (35)). In addition, it is possible to perform pre-motion promotion performances with different performance modes between the execution period of the battle performance by Super Reach A and the execution period of the battle performance by Super Reach B. The system is configured so that the expectation level of a jackpot is higher when the battle effect of Super Reach B is executed than when the battle effect of Super Reach A is executed (Figure 8-4 (B) reference). According to such a configuration, the execution mode of the pre-movement promotion performance is different between the battle performance of Super Reach A and the battle performance of Super Reach B, thereby increasing the player's motivation to move, and the battle performance of Super Reach A. It is possible to draw attention to which one of the performance and the battle performance of Super Reach B is executed.

In addition, in this characteristic part 001IW, during the execution period of the battle effect by Super Reach A, the action promotion advance effect corresponding to the first battle deciding button effect (for example, the parts shown in FIGS. 8-27 (27) to (28)) , it is possible to execute a motion promotion advance performance (for example, the portions shown in FIGS. 8-28 (33) to (35)) corresponding to the first battle-determining lever performance. In addition to this, as in the modified example shown in Figure 8-6(C), when the movement promotion advance performance corresponding to the first battle-determining lever performance is executed, the battle performance by Super Reach B is executed. The expectation level of the jackpot may be set higher than when the jackpot is played. According to such a configuration, the execution mode of the pre-movement promotion performance is different between the battle performance of Super Reach A and the battle performance of Super Reach B, thereby increasing the player's motivation to move, and the battle performance of Super Reach A. It is possible to draw attention to which one of the performance and the battle performance of Super Reach B is executed. Furthermore, the sense of anticipation can be maintained even when the battle performance of Super Reach A is executed.

(Fanfare performance executed in low probability state)
Next, a fanfare performance executed in a low probability state will be explained. FIGS. 8-32 to 8-34 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of fanfare effects executed in a low probability state. Note that in both figures, the screen changes in ascending order of (1), (2), and (3).

When a jackpot occurs in a low probability state, a fanfare effect is started after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (88) or FIG. 8-30 (53). In the fanfare performance executed in a low probability state, first, a background image of a radial pattern is displayed on the image display device 5, and the words "Right hit" and a right-pointing arrow are displayed at the upper right of the display area. . Then, the character display "B" appears from the upper side of the display area of the image display device 5 (Fig. 8-32 (1)), and then an effect display is performed in which the character display "B" moves to the center of the display area (Fig. 8-32 (1)). 8-32(2)).

Next, the character display "B" moves to the left side of the display area of the image display device 5, and an effect display is performed in which the character display "O" appears from the upper right side of the display area of the image display device 5 (Figure 8-32 (3)). Next, when the character display "O" moves to the vertical center of the display area, it subsequently moves to the horizontal center, and the character display "B" is faded out so as to be pushed out from the left part of the display area. is performed (Figure 8-32 (4)).

Next, the character display "O" moves to the left side of the display area of the image display device 5, and an effect display is performed in which the character display "N" appears from the upper right side of the display area of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-32 (5)). Next, when the character display "N" moves to the vertical center of the display area, it subsequently moves to the horizontal center, and the character display "O" is faded out so as to be pushed out from the left part of the display area. is performed (Figure 8-32 (6)).

Next, the character display "N" moves to the left side of the display area of the image display device 5, and an effect display is performed in which the character display "U" appears from the upper right side of the display area of the image display device 5 (Figure 8-32 (7)). Next, when the character display "U" moves to the vertical center of the display area, it subsequently moves to the horizontal center, and the character display "N" is faded out so as to be pushed out from the left part of the display area. is performed (Figure 8-32 (8)).

Next, the character display "U" moves to the left side of the display area of the image display device 5, and an effect display is performed in which the character display "S" appears from the upper right side of the display area of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-33 (9)). Next, when the character display "S" moves to the vertical center of the display area, it subsequently moves to the horizontal center, and the character display "U" is faded out so as to be pushed out from the left part of the display area. is performed (Figure 8-33 (10)). Next, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed in which the characters "U" and "S" are successively faded out so as to be pushed out from the left side of the display area (FIG. 8-33 (11)).

Next, on the image display device 5, "ONU" of the character display "BONUS" is enlarged and displayed, and an effect display is performed in which a glowing effect image is displayed around it (FIG. 8-33 (12)). Next, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed in which the entire character display "BONUS" and a glowing effect image are displayed around it (FIG. 8-33 (13)).

Next, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed to invert the color of the image being displayed (FIG. 8-33 (14)), and then the color of the image being displayed is inverted again (i.e., restored). An effect display is performed (FIG. 8-33 (15)).

Next, a part of an arrow image imitating a rightward arrow appears from the left side of the display area of the image display device 5, and is superimposed on the character display "BONUS" (that is, in a layer higher than the character display "BONUS"). , an effect display that moves toward the right side of the display area is performed (FIG. 8-33 (16)). The arrow image is overlaid with the characters "Right-handed", and at the time shown in FIG. 8-33 (16), part of the arrow image and part of the characters "Right-handed" appear.

Next, in the image display device 5, the tip of the arrow image moves to near the center of the display area (FIG. 8-34 (17)), and when the tip of the arrow image reaches the right end of the display area (FIG. 8-34 (18)) , an effect display is performed that moves toward the left side of the display area as if hitting the right edge of the display area and bouncing back (FIG. 8-34 (19)). Thereafter, when the trailing edge of the arrow image reaches the left edge of the display area, an effect display that moves toward the right side of the display area is performed again, and when the tip of the arrow image reaches the right edge of the display area (Figure 8-34 (20 )), the effect display that moves toward the left side of the display area as if colliding with the right edge of the display area and bouncing back is repeated (FIG. 8-34 (21)).

(Ending performance)
Next, the performance performed in the jackpot game state and the ending performance that notifies the end of the jackpot game state will be explained. FIG. 8-35 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the ending performance when a jackpot occurs in a low probability state and the game is controlled to a jackpot game state.

In this example, in the jackpot game state, a round (round game) in which the jackpot is opened is executed a plurality of times. When the first round starts, as shown in FIG. 8-35(1), a first ally character image 006IWC01, a second ally character image 006IWC02, and a third ally character image are displayed in the center of the display area of the image display device 5. Image 006IWC03 is displayed, the round display "ROUND1" indicating the current round number is displayed at the top left of the display area, and the text "Right strike" and a right arrow image are displayed at the top right of the display area. At the lower right corner of the area, an effect display is performed in which an acquired point display "00000" indicating points based on the game balls paid out as prize balls is displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (2), when a game ball enters the grand prize opening and the prize ball is paid out, an effect display is performed in which an acquired point display "00047" is displayed. After that, when the final round ends, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (3), the first ally character image 006IWC01, the second ally character image 006IWC02, and the third ally character image 006IWC03 are displayed in the center of the display area of the image display device 5. are displayed holding hands, a round display "FINAL" is displayed at the top left of the display area, and an acquired point display "00440" is displayed at the bottom right of the display area.

In this example, a powerful RUSH mode and a patrol attack mode are provided as performance modes when the game is in a high probability state. When the high probability state is controlled after the end of the jackpot game state, there is a performance mode determination period in which the performance mode can be determined before the end of the jackpot game state, and any performance mode determination period during the performance mode determination period is provided. A performance is performed to determine whether to enter the performance mode.

Specifically, when the final round ends (FIG. 8-35 (3)), the performance mode determination period that is part of the ending performance begins, and as shown in FIG. 8-35 (4), the image display device 5 , the display area becomes dark (for example, the background changes to black) and the words "Select a mode!" are displayed. Furthermore, behind the text display "Select a mode!" (that is, in a lower layer than the text display "Select a mode!"), there is a first production mode image 006IWG03a corresponding to the production mode "Powerful RUSH" and a production display. The second performance mode image 006IWG03b corresponding to the mode "Patopato Attack" is displayed in gray indicating that it is inactive.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (5), the display area of the image display device 5 becomes bright again, and the first production mode image 006IWG03a corresponding to the production mode "Powerful RUSH" and the production mode "Patopato Attack" are displayed. An effect display is performed in which a second effect mode image 006IWG03b corresponding to , and a push button image 006IWG02 are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 8-35 (5), the first effect mode image 006IWG03a is selected between the first effect mode image 006IWG03a and the second effect mode image 006IWG03b, so the first effect is The mode image 006IWG03a is a colorful and enlarged highlighted display indicating a selected state, and the second effect mode image 006IWG03b is a gray display indicating a non-selected state.

Here, when the player performs an operation to tilt the stick controller 31A to the right, the first performance mode image 006IWG03a becomes gray, indicating that it is in a non-selected state, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (6). The second effect mode image 006IWG03b is displayed in a colorful and enlarged highlighted manner indicating that it is in a selected state. Then, when the player presses the push button 31B, the performance mode "Patopato Attack" corresponding to the currently selected second performance mode image 006IWG03b is determined, and the performance mode determination period ends.

After that, the logo of the gaming machine manufacturer is displayed as shown in Figure 8-35 (7), and then the text "Pachinko and Pachislot are games that can be enjoyed in moderation" is displayed as shown in Figure 8-35 (8). is displayed, and the ending effect in the jackpot game state ends.

(Super reach C (patopato attack) production)
Next, a description will be given of the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) performance that is executed as one of the Super Reach in a high probability state. FIG. 8-36 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a patrol lamp used in the Super Reach C (Patopat Attack) effect.

FIG. 8-36(A) is a specific example showing a patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and a second ally character image 006IWC02 used in the super reach C (pattop attack) effect.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-36(A), a scene is provided in which a police lamp (patrol lamp image 006IWG01) and a character (second ally character image 006IWC02) are in contact with each other. For example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-38 (11) to (12), Figures 8-39 (11) to (12'), Figures 8-40 (14) to (21), and Figure 8-41 (22) are Applicable.

More specifically, the patrol lamp (patron lamp image 006IWG01) is in contact with the character (second ally character image 006IWC02) by the tool (patron lamp string image 006IWG01a). Further, in this example, a scene in which the character (second ally character image 006IWC02) wears the police lamp (patrol lamp image 006IWG01) is provided as a scene in which the police lamp is in contact with the character. For example, the scenes shown in FIG. 8-38 (11) and FIG. 8-39 (11) are applicable.

In this way, in this example, the patrol lamp (patron lamp image 006IWG01) and the character (second ally character image 006IWC02) are in a close relationship, and their production effects are synergistically enhanced.

Furthermore, in this example, a scene is provided in which a police lamp (patramp image 006IWG01) and a character (second ally character image 006IWC02) are in contact with each other, but in order to make it easier for the player to identify them, , so that the color of the police lamp (patron lamp image 006IWG01), the color of the police lamp string (patron lamp string image 006IWG01a), and the hair color of the character (second ally character image 006IWC02) are different from each other (or have different colors). It is configured.

Note that in this example, the character wears a hat-shaped police lamp with a string to represent the state in which the police lamp and the character are in contact. Various forms can be adopted, such as a form in which the character wears a helmet glued to it, or a form in which the character wraps a band around his arm to which a police lamp is glued.

FIG. 8-36(B) is a specific example showing the display mode of the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 used in the super reach C (pattopat attack) effect.

On the left side of FIG. 8-36(B), the police lamp image 006IWG01 is shown in the non-lighting mode (dark red mode), and on the right side of FIG. A police lamp image 006IWG01 is shown. As shown on the left side of FIG. 8-36(B), when the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in an unlit state, it is displayed in a dark red and unlit state. On the other hand, as shown on the right side of FIG. 8-36(B), when the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting mode, it is displayed in a mode that shines red and emits light. In addition, when the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state for a predetermined period of time, as shown in FIGS. , the direction of light emission is displayed in a rotating manner.

In this example, when Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) is executed, the scene before the scene that announces whether it is a jackpot or not (hereinafter, the scene that announces the success or failure is called the announcement scene, and the scene before the announcement scene) (This scene is also referred to as a pre-announcement scene), the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a non-lit state. After the pre-announcement scene, when a jackpot is announced in the announcement scene, the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit mode, and when a loss is announced, the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a non-lit mode. be done.

Therefore, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode shown on the right side of FIG. 8-36(B) can be said to be a mode for announcing that it is a jackpot (hereinafter also referred to as notification mode). The police lamp image 006IWG01 shown in the non-lit mode can be said to be a mode in which the jackpot is not announced (hereinafter also referred to as a non-announcement mode).

Note that the non-lit police lamp image 006IWG01 does not announce that it is a jackpot, but when it is displayed in the pre-announcement scene, it does not yet announce whether it is a jackpot or a loss. When it is displayed after the announcement scene, it means that it is not a jackpot but a loss.

FIGS. 8-37 to 8-41 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach C (pat-pat attack) that is executed when the probability is high and the performance mode is "pat-pat attack". Among Figures 8-37 to 8-41, Figures 8-37 to 8-38 (or Figure 8-39) and Figure 8-40 show fluctuations that are out of fluctuation pattern PA1-2 (shortened fluctuations). This is a specific example of a case where the performance is executed based on the variable pattern PB2-5 (super reach C) jackpot after the winning. Among Figures 8-37 to 8-41, Figures 8-37 to 8-38 (or Figure 8-39) and Figure 8-41 show fluctuations outside of fluctuation pattern PA1-2 (shortened fluctuations). Variation pattern PA2-5 (super reach C) is a specific example of a case where an effect is executed based on the deviation.

If the production mode "Patopato Attack" is selected when the jackpot game state ends, the high probability state game starts after the jackpot game state ends, as shown in Figure 8-37 (1). The title of the production mode ``Patopato Attack'' is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 8-37(1), the characters "Patopato Attack" are displayed in the center of the display area of the image display device 5, and a plurality of patrol lamp images are displayed as the background image.

Next, on the image display device 5, the first ally character image 006IWC01 on the right side of the display area and the third ally character image 006IWC03 on the left side of the display area are displayed so as to face each other, and the police lamp image 006IWG01 is located between these characters. An effect display is performed (Figure 8-37 (2)). Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 8-37 (2), the upper limit of the number of fluctuations to be controlled to a high probability state is set to 100 times, so the lower right of the display area of the image display device 5 displays the high probability state. The remaining number of fluctuations display "100 times remaining" is displayed, which indicates the number of remaining fluctuations at .

Next, when the variable display of the variation pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation) is started, the decorative pattern at the lower right of the display area of the image display device 5 and the small pattern at the upper center of the display area are displayed in a variable manner. Display is performed (Figure 8-37 (3)). Then, the decorative pattern at the bottom right of the display area of the image display device 5 and the small pattern at the top center of the display area are displayed in combination with the missed pattern "154" (FIG. 8-37 (4)). At this time, the image display device 5 displays the remaining number of fluctuations as "99 times remaining."

Next, when the variable display based on the variable pattern PA2-5 (Super Reach C) or the variable pattern PB2-5 (Super Reach C) is started, the police lamp image 006IWG01 swings on the image display device 5, and the first ally character An effect display is performed in which the user notices an abnormality between the image 006IWC01 and the third ally character image 006IWC03 (FIG. 8-37 (5)). Then, on the image display device 5, the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is temporarily shrunk (FIG. 8-37 (6)), and an effect display is performed in which the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 jumps up (FIG. 8-37 (7)). After that, the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) effect starts, so the effects shown in Figures 8-37 (5) to (7) are effects that suggest that Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) will be executed. It can be said that there is.

When Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) starts, the title is displayed as shown in FIG. 8-38 (8). Specifically, the title display includes a plurality of police lamp images 006IWG01 and a text display of "Patopato" regarding the police lamp, and the text display of "Patopato" regarding the police lamp is displayed larger than the other text display "Push Chance". be done. With such a configuration, the player can be made to strongly recognize the patrol lamp. Note that this is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 8-38 (8); for example, only the character display "Patopato" may be displayed with an effect display or operated so as to be emphasized more than other character displays. You can do it like this.

In this example, at the start of Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) which uses the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 to announce the success or failure, as shown in FIG. 8-38 (8), without the decorative pattern becoming a reach mode, By keeping the reduced decorative pattern in the rotated form, it is possible to concentrate more on the police lamp image 006IWG01. In this example, after the jackpot is announced using the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 as shown in FIG. 8-40 (13), which will be described later, by showing the pattern alignment in the scenes from FIG. 8-40 (17) onward, It is possible to make step-by-step announcements such as announcing a jackpot using the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and announcing a jackpot based on matching symbols, thereby making it possible to further impress the player with the fact that it is a jackpot.

Next, on the image display device 5, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed (FIG. 8-38 (9)), followed by the falling police lamp image 006IWG01 (FIG. 8-38 (10)), and the falling police lamp image 006IWC02 is displayed (FIG. 8-38 (10)). An effect display is performed in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 wears the police lamp image 006IWG01 (FIG. 8-38 (11)).

Next, on the image display device 5, together with the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02, the push button image 006IWG02 and the text "Press!" are displayed as an action promotion display that prompts the player to press the push button 31B. (Figure 8-38 (12)). At this time, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed with an expectant expression.

Here, a modification example in which the push button 31B is required to be repeatedly pressed in the super reach C (pattop attack) will be described. FIG. 8-39 is an explanatory diagram showing a modification example in which a continuous hitting operation is required in Super Reach C (Patopat Attack). In the modified example shown in FIG. 8-39, the scenes in FIGS. 8-39 (8) to (11) are displayed with the same effects as in FIGS. 8-38 (8) to (11), but ), along with the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02, the push button image 006IWG02 and the text "Continuous Hit" are displayed as an operation promotion display that prompts the player to repeatedly press the push button 31B. An effect display is performed (FIG. 8-39 (12')). At this time as well, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed with an expectant expression.

Note that the police lamp images 006IWG01 shown in FIGS. 8-38 and 8-39 are both in a non-lit state. Furthermore, in the pre-announcement scenes shown in FIGS. 8-38 and 8-39, a background image with a white-based color scheme is used in the image display device 5.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12'), the push button image 006IWG02 and the text display of "Press!" (or at least a position where a part of the police lamp image 006IWG01 overlaps in a visible state). With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to both the presence of the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the presence of the action promotion display.

Note that when displaying the action promotion display, for example, the police lamp, the character, and the action promotion display may each be operated. FIG. 8-48 is an explanatory diagram showing a modification example in which a police lamp image and a push button image are displayed in action. In the example shown in FIG. 8-48, after the scene shown in FIG. 8-39 (12'), the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed moving to the right, and a push button is displayed. The pressed part of the button image 006IWG02 is displayed in a manner that it is not depressed (Fig. 8-48 (1)), and then a motion display is performed in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 moves to the left. At the same time, the pressed portion of the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed in a depressed manner (FIG. 8-48 (2)). Then, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed moving to the right again, and the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed in a manner that the pressed part is not depressed (Fig. 8-48). 3)) Next, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed moving to the left, and the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed in a sunken state (Fig. 8-48(4)). That is, the motion display in which the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02 move left and right, and the motion display in which the pressed part of the push button image 006IWG02 sinks and returns to its original state, occur after the motion promotion period of the push button 31B has elapsed. repeated until.

In the modification shown in FIG. 8-48, the operation of the push button image 006IWG02, the operation of the patrol lamp image 006IWG01, and the operation of the second ally character image 006IWC02 are displayed so as not to be synchronized. Specifically, the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed in such a way that the button part repeats a state in which it is not depressed (FIG. 8-48 (1)) and a state in which it is depressed (FIG. 8-48 (2)). The patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02 are displayed so as to repeatedly move to the right (Fig. 8-48 (1)) and left (Fig. 8-48 (2)), and they mutually move. appears to be out of sync. With such a configuration, attention can be drawn to any display.

As shown in Figure 8-38 (12) or Figure 8-39 (12'), after the movement promotion display prompting the player to move is displayed, when a predetermined movement is performed (or when the movement promotion period ends) ), variation pattern PB2-5 (Super Reach C) When Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) is executed based on the jackpot, as shown in FIG. 8-40 (13), the image display device 5 The enlarged police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting mode. In this scene, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 is not displayed, and only the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed. Also, at this time, a notification sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R in conjunction with displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode. In this example, from the time when the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) is displayed in a lighting mode, to the time when the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 8-40 (21), which will be described later, is stopped and displayed (confirmed display). Up to this point, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting mode in which it shines red and the mechanism for emitting light rotates, so that the direction of light emission rotates.

Next, on the image display device 5, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the illuminated police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed with a surprised expression (FIG. 8-40 (14)). Also, at this time, in conjunction with the second ally character image 006IWC02 being displayed with a surprised expression, a character voice sound of "ha" with a tone corresponding to the character is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. For example, after the scene shown in Figure 8-40 (13) and before the scene shown in Figure 8-40 (14), the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode is announced. The expression may be displayed in the same manner as the scene.

Next, on the image display device 5, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the illuminated police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed with a happy expression (FIG. 8-40 (15)). At this time, in conjunction with the display of the second ally character image 006IWC02 with a happy expression, a character voice sound saying "Yay!" in a tone corresponding to the character is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Next, on the image display device 5, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the illuminated police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a manner that makes a happy action (in this example, an action of jumping with both hands raised) (FIG. 8- 40(16)). Also, at this time, in conjunction with the second ally character image 006IWC02 being displayed in a manner that makes it happy, a character voice sound of "Yay, Yay" with a tone corresponding to the character is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. .

Next, on the image display device 5, the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed superimposed on the second ally character image 006IWC02 (Figure 8-40 (17)), and this jackpot symbol "222" is gradually enlarged and displayed (Figure 8-40 (17)). 8-40(18)), and the display is enlarged to cover the entire display area of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-40(19)). Thereafter, on the image display device 5, the normal size jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-40 (20)), and finally the jackpot symbol "222" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-40 (20)). 21)).

As shown in Figure 8-40, when a jackpot is announced, from the timing of the announcement (Figure 8-40 (13)) until the jackpot symbol "222" is stopped and displayed (Figure 8-40 (21)) ), the police lamp image 006IWG01 is always in a lighting mode and is displayed in such a way that the direction in which it emits light rotates. Furthermore, in the scene where a jackpot announcement is made as shown in FIG. 8-40, a background image with a red-based color scheme is used in the image display device 5.

As shown in Figure 8-38 (12) or Figure 8-39 (12'), after the movement promotion display prompting the player to move is displayed, when a predetermined movement is performed (or when the movement promotion period ends) ), when the super reach C (pat-pat attack) is executed based on the deviation of the variation pattern PA2-5 (super reach C), as shown in FIG. 8-41 (22), the image display device 5 , the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the unlit police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a disappointing manner. At this time, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the non-lit police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a disappointed manner, and a voice corresponding to the character says, ``Okay, let's do our best next time.'' !” is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Next, on the image display device 5, the first ally character image 006IWC01 and the third ally character image 006IWC03 face each other before the super reach C (pattop attack) starts, and the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed between these characters. A position effect display is performed, and a missed symbol "212" is displayed as a combination of decorative symbols at the lower right of the display area (FIG. 8-41 (23)). Thereafter, the small symbol "212" is displayed in the upper part of the display area of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-41 (24)), and the remaining variation number display "98 times remaining" is displayed in the lower right part of the display area. Note that in the scene shown in FIG. 8-41 where the notification of failure is made, a background image with a white-based color scheme is used in the image display device 5.

In this example, in the pre-announcement scene, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a non-lit state (dark red state), and the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a state full of expectation (Fig. 8-38 (12). ), see Figure 8-39 (12')), and if the lottery result is a win, after the pre-announcement scene, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting mode (red glowing mode) (Figure 8-40 (13)). ), the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a happy manner (see FIGS. 8-40 (15) and (16)). On the other hand, if the result of the lottery is non-winning, after the pre-announcement scene, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a non-lit mode (dark red mode), and the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a disappointing mode ( (See Figure 8-41 (22)). With such a configuration, winning or non-winning can be clearly communicated by indicating the winner or not in the form of a police lamp and supplementarily changing the display form of the character.

Furthermore, in this example, when the lottery result is a win, after the pre-announcement scene, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting mode without displaying the character as shown in Figure 8-40 (13), and then the As shown in 8-40 (14) to (16), the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting manner, and the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a happy manner. On the other hand, if the result of the lottery is a non-winner, after the pre-announcement scene, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a non-lit manner as shown in Figure 8-41 (22), and the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed as a regrettable character. Display in a manner that With such a configuration, only the illuminated police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed without displaying the character when announcing the winning, so that the content of the announcement can be made easier to understand.

In this example, if the lottery result is a win, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in the pre-announcement scene after the scene shown in Figure 8-40 (13) and before the scene shown in Figure 8-40 (14). , and then displays the second ally character image 006IWC02 in a surprised expression (FIG. 8-40 (14)), a happy expression (FIG. 8-40 (15)), and a mode in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 performs a happy action. (FIG. 8-40 (16)) may be displayed in the order shown. With this configuration, the character's facial expression changes to the facial expression that the player wants the player to have, so it is possible to provide an environment in which the player can easily tune in and enjoy the game.

Further, in this example, the background image of the image display device 5 is the first color (in this example, a white-based color scheme) in the pre-announcement scene, and when the lottery result is a winning result, the background image of the image display device 5 is the first color after the pre-announcement scene. If the result of the lottery is a non-winner, a color from the same family as the first color (in this example, a white-based color scheme) will be displayed after the pre-announcement scene. ). With this configuration, winning and non-winning can be easily recognized from the change in background color.

Further, in this example, in the pre-announcement scene, an action promotion display urging the player to take action is displayed at a position where the police lamp image 006IWG01 is visible. Specifically, as shown in Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12'), the push button image 006IWG02 and the text display of "Press!" and "Continuously press" do not overlap with the police lamp image 006IWG01. position (or a position where at least a part of the police lamp image 006IWG01 overlaps in a visible state). If the result of the lottery is a win, when the player performs an action during the action promotion period in which the action promotion display is displayed, the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting manner. Specifically, when the push button 31B is pressed in the state shown in FIG. 8-38 (12), or when the push button 31B is pressed repeatedly (specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 8-39 (12')) When a repeated tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions is performed, the state changes to the state shown in FIG. 8-40 (13), and the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state. With such a configuration, winning or non-winning can be clearly communicated by indicating the winner or not in the form of a police lamp and supplementarily changing the display form of the character. Furthermore, by displaying the action promotion display in a position where the police lamp can be seen, attention can be drawn to both the presence of the police lamp and the action promotion display.

Further, in this example, the action promotion display includes an image promotion display that imitates an object to perform an action, and a character promotion display using characters. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8-38 (12), Figure 8-39 (12'), and Figure 8-48, it includes a push button image 006IWG02 and character displays such as "Press!" and "Continuously press". . Both the image promotion display and the text promotion display are displayed so as not to completely cover the police lamp. Specifically, as shown in Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12'), the push button image 006IWG02 and the text display of "Press!" and "Continuously press" do not overlap with the police lamp image 006IWG01. position (or a position where at least a part of the police lamp image 006IWG01 overlaps in a visible state). With such a configuration, it is possible to always draw attention to the police lamp image 006IWG01.

Further, in this example, a notification sound is output in conjunction with displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode, and then the character's voice is output. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8-40 (13), a notification sound is output in conjunction with displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode, and then as shown in Figures 8-40 (14) to (16). As shown, each character's voice is output in a tone corresponding to the character, such as ``ha'', ``yay'', and ``yay, yay''. With such a configuration, the winning can be made more exciting by sequentially outputting the notification sound and the character's voice.

Further, in this example, when the lottery result is a non-winning result, the sound of the character is output without outputting the sound corresponding to displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a non-lit mode. For example, as shown in Figure 8-41 (22), the sound corresponding to displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a non-lit mode is not output, and a character voice with a tone corresponding to the character says, ``Okay, let's do our best next time!'' Output. With such a configuration, it is possible to determine the mode of the police lamp image 006IWG01, that is, whether it is correct or not, depending on whether or not the notification sound is output. In addition, if the player has not won, the announcement sound is not output, but the character's voice is output, thereby avoiding the situation where there is no sound and getting too excited, and reducing player disappointment. .

For example, as shown in FIG. 8-40 (13), the period in which the notification sound and the character's voice are outputted in conjunction with displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting manner is as shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 8-40 (14) to (16), the period is longer than the period in which character voices such as "Ha", "Yay", and "Yay, Yay" are output as the character's voice, and as shown in Figure 8-40 (14). As shown in Figure 8-41 (22), the period during which character voices such as "hah", "yay", and "yay, yay" are output in the voice tone corresponding to the character when a jackpot is won is as shown in Figure 8-41 (22). In addition, the period may be set to be longer than the period during which the character voice saying "Good luck, try your best next time!" in a voice tone corresponding to the character when the character misses. With such a configuration, it is possible to appeal the announcement by outputting the announcement sound, and it is possible to make the winning excitement more exciting, and it is also possible to make it possible to understand the mode of the police lamp image 006IWG01, that is, whether it is correct or not, depending on whether or not the announcement sound is output. . In addition, if the player has not won, the announcement sound is not output, but the character's voice is output, thereby avoiding the situation where there is no sound and getting too excited, and reducing player disappointment. .

In this example, after the scene shown in Figure 8-38 (12) or Figure 8-39 (12'), if Super Reach C (Patopato Attack), which is a jackpot, is executed, the second ally There is a scene where character image 006IWC02 is not displayed and only patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed once, but such a scene is created when Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) that misses is executed. Although not shown, such a scene may be provided, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-61.

FIG. 8-61 is an explanatory diagram showing a modified example of a police lamp image displayed when a candidate is not elected. In the modified example shown in FIG. 8-61, after the scene shown in FIG. 8-38 (12) or FIG. 8-39 (12'), the second ally character image 006IWC02 is not displayed, and the police lamp image 006IWG01 is not lit. only is displayed (Figure 8-61 (1)).

Next, as in FIG. 8-41 (22), the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the non-lit police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a disappointing manner on the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-41). 61(2)). At this time, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the non-lit police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a disappointed manner, and a voice corresponding to the character says, ``Okay, let's do our best next time.'' !” is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Thereafter, effect displays similar to those shown in FIGS. 8-41 (23) and (24) are executed (FIGS. 8-61 (3) and (4)).

When applying the modified example shown in FIG. 8-61, the size of the police lamp image 006IWG01 is better when displayed in a lighting mode than when it is displayed after the pre-announcement scene when the lottery result is non-winning. It is larger than when displayed in the lighting mode. Specifically, the police lamp image 006IWG01 shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) in a lighting state after a win announcement is better than the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a non-lighting state after a loss notification shown in FIG. 8-61 (1). Display size is large. In addition, when the lottery result is non-winning, the display is displayed in a non-lit manner after the pre-announcement scene than when it is displayed in a non-lit format in the pre-announcement scene. Specifically, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the non-announcement mode after failure notification shown in Figure 8-61 (1) is better than the pre-announcement scene shown in Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12'). The display size is larger than that of the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the non-announcement mode. With such a configuration, the victory can be suitably promoted by making the police lamp that is used to announce the election appear larger. Furthermore, even in the non-lighting mode, when announcing non-winning, the non-winning can be made easier to recognize by making it appear larger than the pre-announcement scene.

(Super reach C (powerful RUSH) production)
Next, the super reach C (powerful RUSH) effect executed as one of the super reach in a high probability state will be explained.

FIGS. 8-42 to 8-45 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of super reach C (powerful RUSH) executed when the state is high probability and the performance mode is "powerful RUSH". If the performance mode "Powerful RUSH" is selected when the jackpot game state ends, when the high probability state game starts after the jackpot game state ends, as shown in Figure 8-42 (1). The title of the production mode "Powerful RUSH" is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 8-42 (1), the text "POWERFUL RUSH" is displayed at the center of the display area of the image display device 5, and the second mini-character image 006IWC05 is displayed at the lower left and lower right of the display area, respectively. has been done.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-42 (2), the background image of the image display device 5 is switched to the background image for powerful RUSH, and a decorative pattern (previous variation display result "222") is displayed in the center of the display area. be done. In the example shown in FIG. 8-42 (2), the upper limit of the number of fluctuations to be controlled to the high probability state is set to 100, so the lower right of the display area of the image display device 5 shows the high probability state. The remaining number of fluctuations display "100 times remaining" is displayed, which indicates the number of remaining fluctuations at .

Next, when the variable display that is out of the variable pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation) is started, the decorative pattern in the center of the display area of the image display device 5 and the small pattern in the upper center of the display area are each displayed in a variable manner. Display is performed (Figure 8-42 (3)). Then, the decorative pattern at the bottom right of the display area of the image display device 5 and the small pattern at the top center of the display area are displayed in combination with the missing pattern "154" (FIG. 8-42 (4)). At this time, the image display device 5 displays the remaining number of fluctuations as "99 times remaining."

Next, when the variable display based on the variable pattern PA2-5 (super reach C) or the variable pattern PB2-5 (super reach C) is started (FIG. 8-42 (5)), in the image display device 5, the second A cut-in image containing the ally character image 006IWC02 and the text "This presence!?" is displayed (Figure 8-42 (6)), and the first ally character image 006IWC01 and the text "Ahead..." are displayed. A cut-in image including the cut-in image is displayed in a superimposed manner (FIG. 8-42 (7)), and then an effect display in which the cut-in image disappears is performed (FIG. 8-42 (8)). Since Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) starts after this, the effects shown in Figures 8-42 (6) to (8) can be said to be effects that suggest that Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) will be executed. .

Next, when the left and right ornamental symbols "2" enter the reach state (Fig. 8-43 (9)), and the middle ornamental symbols "1" and "2" are displayed (Fig. 8-43 (10)), A push button image 006IWG02 and the text "Press!" are displayed as an operation promotion display (FIG. 8-43 (11)).

Then, as shown in FIG. 8-43 (11), after the movement promotion display prompting the player to move is displayed, when a press operation is performed (or when the movement promotion period ends), the variation pattern PB2-5 ( Super reach C) When super reach C (powerful RUSH) is executed based on a jackpot, the jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily stopped and displayed as shown in FIG. 8-43 (12). On the other hand, when Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) is executed based on fluctuation pattern PA2-5 (Super Reach C), the missed symbol "212" is executed as shown in Figure 8-43 (13). It is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 8-43 (14), the missed symbol "212" is stopped and displayed.

Here, a modification example in which the push button 31B is required to be repeatedly pressed in the super reach C (powerful RUSH) will be described. FIG. 8-44 is an explanatory diagram showing a modification example in which a continuous hitting operation is required in Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH). In the modified example shown in Figure 8-44, after the scene in Figure 8-42 (8), as shown in Figure 8-44 (15), the character display "FEVER" is displayed, and the character display "FEVER" A light effect image is displayed superimposed on the screen, including the text ``Continuous Hit Challenge'' and ``Light Up FEVER.'' Next, along with the second ally character image 006IWC02, the push button image 006IWG02 and the text "Continuous Hit" are displayed as an action promotion display that prompts the player to repeatedly press the push button 31B. An effect display is performed in which the characters "" change to a glowing state (FIG. 8-44 (16)). In the scene shown in FIG. 8-44 (16), only the character "F" out of the character display "FEVER" has changed to illuminate.

Then, when Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) is executed based on the variable pattern PB2-5 (Super Reach C) jackpot, in response to the repeated hitting operation that satisfies the execution conditions (or movement promotion (Depending on the end of the period), all the characters of the text display "FEVER" change to a glowing mode, and a production display is performed in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a happy mode (Figure 8-44 (17) ). On the other hand, when Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) is executed based on the deviation of variation pattern PA2-5 (Super Reach C), all characters of the character display "FEVER" are At the same time, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a disappointing manner (FIG. 8-44 (18)). Then, the losing symbol "212" is temporarily stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-44 (19)), and then the losing symbol "212" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-44 (20)). In addition, in the modified example shown in Fig. 8-44 in which continuous pressing of the push button 31B is required in Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH), the scene in which all decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner as shown in Fig. 8-42 (8) After that, the screen transitions to a scene where the character display "Multi-hit challenge" etc. shown in Figure 8-44 (15) is displayed, but the structure is not limited to this, for example, Figure 8-42 (8) After the scene in which all the decorative symbols shown in Figure 8-44 (15) are displayed in a fluctuating manner, the player enters a reach mode in which the left and right decorative symbols are aligned, and then the character display "Continuous Hit Challenge" etc. is displayed as shown in Figure 8-44 (15). It may be possible to make a transition. Further, in this case, the decorative pattern reduced during the continuous hit challenge may be displayed in a ready-to-reach mode.

When the jackpot notification shown in FIG. 8-43 (12) or FIG. 8-44 (17) is performed, a radial pattern background image is displayed on the image display device 5, and the movable body 32 displays the image from the initial position. A movable body performance is executed that moves to the performance position in front of the device 5 (FIG. 8-45 (21)). Next, the movable body 32 stops at the presentation position in front of the image display device 5 for a predetermined period of time (FIG. 8-45 (22)), and then the movable body 32 is controlled to return from the presentation position to the initial position (FIG. 8-45). 45(23)).

Next, the second mini-character image 006IWC05 is displayed at the lower left and lower right of the display area of the image display device 5, and the jackpot symbol "222" is displayed at the center of the display area (FIG. 8-45 (24)). , this jackpot symbol "222" is gradually enlarged and displayed (FIG. 8-45 (25)), and is eventually enlarged and displayed so as to cover the entire display area of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-45 (26)). After that, on the image display device 5, the normal size jackpot symbol "222" is temporarily stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-45 (27)), and finally the jackpot symbol "222" is stopped and displayed (FIG. 8-45 (27)). 28)).

(Fanfare performance executed in high probability state)
Next, a fanfare performance performed in a high probability state will be explained. FIGS. 8-46 and 8-47 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of fanfare effects executed in a high probability state.

When a jackpot occurs in a high probability state, a fanfare effect is started after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-40 (21) or FIG. 8-45 (28). In the fanfare performance executed in a high probability state, first, a background image of a radial pattern is displayed on the image display device 5, and the words "Right hit" and a right-pointing arrow are displayed at the upper right of the display area. . Then, the character display "Super" appears from the upper side of the display area of the image display device 5 (Fig. 8-46 (1)), and then an effect display is performed in which the character display "Super" moves to the center of the display area (Fig. 8-46 (1)). 8-46(2)).

Next, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed in which the character display "powerful" is enlarged and a portion thereof is displayed so as to protrude from the display area (FIG. 8-47 (3)). Next, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed in which the entire character display ``POWERFUL'' is displayed within the display area (FIG. 8-47 (4)).

Next, a part of the character display "BONUS" appears from the lower side of the display area of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-46 (5)), and then the character display "BONUS" moves to the center of the display area and the entire character display is displayed. An effect display is performed to fit within the area (FIG. 8-46 (6)).

Next, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed in which the characters "Super", "Powerful", and "BONUS" are enlarged and a portion of each is displayed so as to protrude from the display area (FIG. 8-46 (7) ). Thereafter, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed in which the characters ``SUPER'', ``POWERFUL'', and ``BONUS'' are displayed in their entirety so that they fit within the respective display areas (FIG. 8-46 (8)).

Next, on the image display device 5, an effect display is performed to invert the color of the image being displayed (FIG. 8-47 (9)), and then the color of the image being displayed is inverted again (i.e., restored). An effect display is performed (FIG. 8-47 (10)).

Next, a part of an arrow image imitating a rightward arrow appears from the left side of the display area of the image display device 5 (FIG. 8-47 (11)) and is superimposed on the character display "Super", "Powerful", and "BONUS". (in other words, in a layer higher than the character display "Super", "Powerful", and "BONUS"), an effect display that moves toward the right side of the display area is performed (FIG. 8-47 (12)). The arrow image also has the words "Right-handed" superimposed on it.

Next, in the image display device 5, when the tip of the arrow image reaches the right edge of the display area (FIG. 8-47 (13)), an effect display moves toward the left side of the display area so as to hit the right edge of the display area and bounce back. is performed (Figure 8-47 (14)). After that, when the rear end of the arrow image reaches the left end of the display area, a display that moves toward the right side of the display area is performed again (Figure 8-47 (15)), and the tip of the arrow image reaches the right end of the display area. When the object reaches the right end of the display area, the effect display is repeated in which it hits the right end of the display area and moves toward the left side of the display area as if bouncing back (FIG. 8-47 (16)).

(Performance period)
Next, the performance period of each performance will be explained. FIG. 8-49 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of each performance period when a jackpot is achieved in Super Reach B (second battle). The scenes (76) to (88) shown in FIG. 8-49 correspond to the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-18 (76) to (82) and FIG. 8-19 (83) to (88), respectively. Note that the scene (77a) shown in FIG. 8-49 corresponds to the scene after FIG. 8-18 (77) and before FIG. 8-18 (78).

As shown in Figure 8-49, in the case of a jackpot in Super Reach B (second battle), the role object movement period during which the movable body effects shown in (76) to (77a) are performed is 1.7 seconds. The effect period for defeating enemy characters shown in (78) to (79) is 5 seconds, and the pattern display period in which the jackpot symbols are stopped and displayed as shown in (80) to (88) is 3.8 seconds.

FIG. 8-50 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of each production period when a jackpot is achieved with Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH). The scenes (11) to (28) shown in FIG. 8-50 correspond to the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-43 (11) to (12) and FIG. 8-45 (21) to (28), respectively.

As shown in Figure 8-50, when the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) results in a jackpot, the motion promotion period shown in (11) is 3 seconds, and the jackpot symbols shown in (12) are aligned (a jackpot is announced). ) period is 1 second, the accessory movement period shown in (21) to (23) is 2.2 seconds, and the symbol display period in which the jackpot symbols shown in (24) to (28) are stopped and displayed is 3.8 seconds. It has become.

FIG. 8-51 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of each production period when a jackpot is achieved with Super Reach C (Patopato Attack). The scenes (8) to (21) shown in FIG. 8-51 correspond to the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-38 (8) to (12) and FIG. 8-40 (13) to (21), respectively. Note that FIG. 8-51 shows an example in which the push button 31B is not pressed during the operation promotion period.

As shown in Figure 8-51, in the case of a jackpot with Super Reach C (Patopato Attack), the title notification period shown in (8) is 2 seconds, and the introduction period shown in (9) to (11) is 5 seconds. .5 seconds, the operation promotion period shown in (12) is 3 seconds, and the period in which the jackpot is announced (the police lamp image 006IWG01 is lit) shown in (13) to (21) is 7.5 seconds.

In this example, the period during which the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting manner in Super Reach C (Patopatto Attack) is longer than the period during which the movable body 32 is operated in Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH). Specifically, the period (7.5 seconds) in which the police lamp image 006IWG01 shown in FIG. 8-51 is displayed in a lighting mode is longer than the period in which the accessory is activated (2.2 seconds) shown in FIG. 8-50. long. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the announcement impressive by ensuring a sufficient period for displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode.

In addition, in this example, the production period of Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) and the production period of Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) are each performed during the epilogue period (for example, the celebration period from when the jackpot is announced to the player until the symbol is confirmed).・Includes the afterglow period, the period during which the ending scene of the super reach performance is played. In the epilogue period of super reach C (powerful RUSH), the movable body 32 is at the initial position as shown in Figures 8-45 (24) to (28) and Figures 8-50 (24) to (28). Then, the combination "222" of the second mini-character 006IWC05 and the decorative symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol is displayed. On the other hand, during the epilogue period of Super Reach C (Patopato Attack), as shown in Figures 8-40 (17) to (21) and Figures 8-51 (17) to (21), the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is lit up. In the displayed state, a combination of decorative symbols "222" which becomes a jackpot symbol is displayed. With this configuration, the effects of the epilogue period in Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) and Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) are different from each other, so that each can give an impression. In particular, during the epilogue period of Super Reach C (Patopato Attack), the jackpot symbol is displayed while the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state, giving an impression of winning in Super Reach C (Patopato Attack). be able to.

FIG. 8-52 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of each performance period in the case of a loss in each super reach. Figure 8-52 (A) is an example in which a deviation occurs when the push button 31B is requested to be pressed in Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH), and (13) to (14) shown in Figure 8-52 (A). ) correspond to the scenes shown in FIG. 8-43 (13) to (14). Furthermore, Fig. 8-52 (B) is an example in which a discrepancy occurs when repeated press operations of the push button 31B are required in Super Reach C (powerful RUSH), and (18) to (18) shown in Fig. 8-52 (B) Each scene in (20) corresponds to the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-44 (18) to (20), respectively. Also, Figure 8-52 (C) is an example of a miss in Super Reach C (Patopato Attack), and each of the scenes (22) to (24) shown in Figure 8-52 (C) is -41 (22) to (24) correspond to the situations shown respectively.

As shown in FIG. 8-52(A), when the pressing operation of the push button 31B is requested in the super reach C (powerful RUSH) and there is a deviation, 1. A 5 second error notification will be given. In addition, as shown in Figure 8-52 (B), if the repeated press operation of the push button 31B is requested in Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) and the result is a miss, each of the situations (18) to (20) A 3.5 second error notification is given. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-52(C), if the super reach C (pattop attack) results in a loss, a 4-second loss notification is performed in each of the scenes (22) to (24).

Next, regarding Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH), a presentation period corresponding to the timing at which a predetermined action is performed will be explained. FIG. 8-53 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the oscillating display period of decorative symbols according to the timing at which notification is made by pressing the push button 31B in the case of a super reach C (powerful RUSH) jackpot.

FIG. 8-53(A) shows that during the action promotion period for prompting the push button 31 to be pressed shown in FIG. 8-43 (11), the push button 31 is pressed immediately (approximately 0 seconds later) after the start of the action promotion period. In this case, the production period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed is approximately 7.4 seconds, and within that time, the temporary stop display of the jackpot symbol shown in Figure 8-45 (27) is The pattern shaking period to be performed is approximately 4 seconds.

FIG. 8-53 (B) shows the case where the push button 31 is pressed approximately 1 second after the start of the action promotion period during the action promotion period shown in FIG. 8-43 (11) that prompts the push button 31 to be pressed. This is an example. In this case, the performance period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed is approximately 6.4 seconds, and during this period, the symbol oscillation is performed to temporarily stop display the jackpot symbol as shown in Figure 8-45 (27). The period will be approximately 3 seconds.

FIG. 8-53(C) is an example in which the push button 31 is not pressed during the operation promotion period shown in FIG. 8-43 (11) and FIG. 8-50 (11). In this case, the presentation period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed will be approximately 4.4 seconds, during which time the temporary jackpot symbol shown in Figure 8-45 (27) and Figure 8-50 (27) will be displayed. The symbol oscillation period during which the stop display is performed is about 1 second. In this way, in this example, the jackpot symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed, although the subsequent performance period differs depending on whether or not the push button 31 is pressed and, if the push button 31 is pressed, the timing. The performance period is adjusted by varying the symbol swing period. In other words, only the symbol fluctuation period changes in length, and the other performance periods always have the same length. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent performance control from becoming complicated.

FIG. 8-54 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a period in which a decorative pattern is displayed in a swaying manner according to the timing at which notification is made by repeatedly pressing the push button 31B in a modified example of the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) jackpot.

FIG. 8-54 (A) shows that during the action promotion period for prompting the repeated press operation of the push button 31 shown in FIG. 8-43 (16), the repeated press operation satisfies the execution condition approximately 1 second after the start of the action promotion period. This is an example where an announcement is made (that is, a repeated tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions) is made, and in this case, the presentation period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed is approximately 7.4 seconds, Among these, the symbol shaking period during which the temporary stop display of the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 8-45 (27) is performed is approximately 4 seconds.

FIG. 8-54 (B) shows an example in which the notification is made approximately 4 seconds after the start of the action promotion period during the action promotion period for prompting the user to repeatedly press the push button 31 shown in FIG. 8-43 (16) (i.e. This is an example in which a notification is made at the end of the movement promotion period without a repeated tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions.In this case, the presentation period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed is approximately 4.4 seconds. The symbol shaking period during which the temporary stop display of the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 8-45 (27) is performed is about 1 second. In this way, in this example, the subsequent performance period differs depending on the timing of the announcement, but the performance period is adjusted by varying the symbol shaking period during which the jackpot symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. In other words, only the symbol fluctuation period changes in length, and the other performance periods always have the same length. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent performance control from becoming complicated.

Next, regarding Super Reach C (Patopato Attack), a presentation period corresponding to the timing at which a predetermined action is performed will be explained. FIG. 8-55 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a production period according to the timing at which an announcement is made by pressing the push button 31B in the Super Reach C (Patopat Attack) jackpot.

FIG. 8-55(A) shows that during the motion promotion period for prompting the push button 31 to be pressed, shown in FIG. 8-38(12), the push button 31 is pressed immediately (approximately 0 seconds later) after the start of the motion promotion period. In this case, the performance period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (during this period, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode is always displayed) is approximately 10.5 seconds, and The period in which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) is displayed is approximately 5 seconds.

FIG. 8-55 (B) shows the case where the push button 31 is pressed approximately 1 second after the start of the movement promotion period during the movement promotion period shown in FIG. 8-38 (12) that prompts the push button 31 to be pressed. This is an example, and in this case, the performance period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (during this period, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lit mode is always displayed) is approximately 9.5 seconds, and within that time, the period shown in Figure 8- The period in which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode shown in 40(13) is displayed is approximately 4 seconds.

FIG. 8-55(C) is an example in which the push button 31 is not pressed during the operation promotion period shown in FIGS. 8-38 (12) and 8-51 (12). In this case, the performance period until the subsequent jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (during this period, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode is always displayed) is approximately 7.5 seconds, and within that time, the display shown in Figure 8-40 ( 13), the period in which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode shown in FIG. 8-51 (13) is displayed is approximately 2 seconds.

In this example, in the Super Reach C (Patopat Attack) jackpot, if the player performs an action before the action promotion period ends, the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state for the remaining period of the action promotion period. The period is extended. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-55, if the pressing operation is performed immediately (approximately 0 seconds later) after the start of the operation promotion period, the period during which the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting mode is approximately If the button is pressed after about 1 second, it will be about 9.5 seconds, and if the 3-second movement promotion period has elapsed without pressing the button, it will be about 7.5 seconds. . With this configuration, the period in which the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state becomes longer, so that the player can be further immersed in the afterglow of the blessing, and can be motivated to actively perform the operation. In this example, only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode is displayed, although the subsequent performance period differs depending on whether or not the push button 31 is pressed and, if the push button 31 is pressed, the timing. The performance period is adjusted by making the period different. That is, the length is changed only during the period in which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode is displayed, and the other presentation periods always have the same length. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent performance control from becoming complicated.

FIG. 8-56 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the performance period according to the timing at which notification is made by repeatedly pressing the push button 31B in a modified example of the Super Reach C (Patopat Attack) jackpot.

FIG. 8-56(A) shows that during the action promotion period for prompting the repeated press operation of the push button 31 shown in FIG. 8-39 (12'), the repeated press operation satisfies the execution condition approximately 1 second after the start of the action promotion period. This is an example of a case where an announcement is made after a continuous tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions.In this case, the presentation period (during this period, the lighting mode is always The period in which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) is displayed is approximately 4 seconds.

FIG. 8-56(B) shows an example in which an announcement is made approximately 4 seconds after the start of the action promotion period during the action promotion period for prompting the user to repeatedly press the push button 31 shown in FIG. 8-39 (12'). In other words, the notification is given at the end of the movement promotion period without repeated hitting operations that satisfy the execution conditions). The period in which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) is displayed is approximately 1 second. In this way, in this example, the subsequent presentation period differs depending on the timing of the announcement, but the presentation period is adjusted by varying the period during which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode is displayed. That is, the length is changed only during the period in which only the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode is displayed, and the other presentation periods always have the same length. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent performance control from becoming complicated.

FIG. 8-57 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the performance period of the fanfare performance executed in the low probability state. The scenes (1) to (21) shown in Figure 8-57 are shown in Figures 8-32 (1) to (8), Figures 8-33 (9) to (16), and Figures 8-34 (17) to Each corresponds to the scene shown in (21). As shown in FIG. 8-57, the performance period of the fanfare performance executed in the low probability state is 14 seconds.

FIG. 8-58 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the performance period of the fanfare performance executed in the high probability state. The scenes (1) to (16) shown in FIG. 8-58 correspond to the scenes shown in FIGS. 8-46 (1) to (8) and FIG. 8-47 (9) to (16), respectively. As shown in FIG. 8-58, the performance period of the fanfare performance executed in the high probability state is 11 seconds.

In this example, the period during which the police lamp is displayed in a lighting manner is longer than the title notification period during which title notification is performed in the pre-announcement scene, and shorter than the fanfare period. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-51, the period (7.5 seconds) during which the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state is longer than the title notification period (2 seconds) during which the title notification is performed. -58, it is shorter than the fanfare period (11 seconds). With this configuration, it is possible to make the announcement stand out by ensuring a sufficient period during which the police lamp is displayed in a lit mode, and by making the fanfare period longer, it is possible to make the player aware of winning, and to make the player aware of winning. You can maintain your role appropriately.

Further, in this example, the period during which the police lamp is displayed in a lighting manner is longer than the action promotion period in the pre-announcement scene and shorter than the fanfare period. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8-51, the period (7.5 seconds) in which the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit mode is longer than the operation promotion period (3 seconds), and as shown in Figure 8-58. is shorter than the fanfare period (11 seconds). With this configuration, it is possible to make the announcement stand out by ensuring a sufficient period during which the police lamp is displayed in a lit mode, and by making the fanfare period longer, it is possible to make the player aware of winning, and to make the player aware of winning. You can maintain your role appropriately.

In this example, as shown in Figure 8-40, the patrol lamp is always displayed in a lit state from the time a predetermined operation is performed (or after the operation promotion period has elapsed) until the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed. However, the system is not limited to such a configuration, and when a predetermined operation is performed (or when an operation promotion period has elapsed), a police lamp in a lighting mode is displayed for a predetermined period of time, and after that, the police lamp is not displayed. There may be a period (for example, only the jackpot symbols that are temporarily stopped are displayed). In this case as well, the period during which the police lamp is displayed in a lighting manner is longer than the title notification period and action promotion period in the pre-announcement scene and shorter than the fanfare period, so that the role of each period can be maintained appropriately. can.

Next, a modification of the Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) effect will be explained. FIG. 8-59 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a specific example of a modification in which a condensing effect effect is performed before the operation promotion period.

Figure 8-59 shows a scene (corresponding to Figure 8-38 (12) or Figure 8-39 (12')) in which an action promotion display including push button image 006IWG02 is displayed in Super Reach C (Patopato Attack). An example is shown in which a light condensing effect effect is performed, which is displayed before the push button image 006IWG02.

In the example of the first light focusing effect shown in Figure 8-59, the effect display transitions in the order of (11a'), (11b'), (11c'), and (12'), and is applied to a modified example that requires repeated tapping operations. It is possible. The scene in FIG. 8-59 (12') in the first example of the light focusing effect corresponds to FIG. 8-39 (12'), and the scene in FIG. 8-59 (11a') (11b') (11c') Each scene is inserted after FIG. 8-39 (11) and before FIG. 8-39 (12').

Specifically, when applying the first condensing effect to a modified example that requires repeated tapping operations, after the scene in FIG. 8-39 (11), as shown in FIG. 8-59 (11a'), The display area of the image display device 5 darkens (for example, the background changes to black), and an effect display is performed in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed. At this time, as shown in Figure 8-48 (1) to (4),

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-59 (11b'), a plurality of (three in this example) mini push button images 006IWG02a imitating the push button 31B are respectively superimposed on the second ally character image 006IWC02. An effect display is performed in which the objects are displayed in a light-emitting manner and start moving so as to gather in one place. Note that these push button images are displayed on a layer higher than the second ally character image 006IWC02, but since they are in a mode with high transparency, the second ally character image on the lower layer can be seen through the mini push button image 006IWG02a. Image 006IWC02 is now visible.

Next, the multiple mini-push button images 006IWG02a gradually reduce their movement speed, and as shown in FIG. 8-59 (11c'), the multiple mini-push button images 006IWG02a gather in one place, creating an effect image that shines strongly around them. An effect display is performed in which is displayed.

After that, when the plurality of mini-push button images 006IWG02a gradually reduce their movement speed and merge into one, the display area of the image display device 5 becomes bright again, as shown in FIG. 8-59 (12'), and the patrol lamp Along with the image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02, an effect display is performed in which the push button image 006IWG02 and the text "Continuous Hit" are displayed as an operation promotion display that prompts the player to repeatedly press the push button 31B. In addition, in the first light gathering effect production, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed as shown in FIGS. 8-48 (1) to (4) during the period shown in FIGS. 8-59 (11a') to (12'). Although it is displayed in a manner that moves left and right, it is not limited to this configuration, and for example, the period shown in FIG. 8-59 (11a') to (11c') or the period shown in FIG. During the period shown in '), the second ally character image 006IWC02 may be displayed in a stationary manner, and from the next scene, the second ally character image 006IWC02 may be displayed in a manner that moves left and right. . Furthermore, for example, the second ally character image 006IWC02 may be displayed in a stationary manner, similar to the second light condensing effect production described later.

In the example of the second light focusing effect shown in FIG. 8-59, the effect display changes in the order of (11a), (11b), (11c), and (12), and is applicable to an example in which a press operation is required. The scene in Figure 8-59 (12) in the second example of the light focusing effect corresponds to Figure 8-38 (12), and the scenes in Figures 8-59 (11a), (11b), and (11c) are as follows: It is inserted after FIG. 8-38 (11) and before FIG. 8-38 (12).

Specifically, when applying the second light focusing effect to an example where a press operation is required, after the scene in Figure 8-38 (11), the image display as shown in Figure 8-59 (11a) The display area of the device 5 darkens (for example, the background changes to black), and an effect display is performed in which the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a stationary state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-59 (11b), a plurality of mini-push buttons (three in this example) imitating the push button 31B are partially superimposed on the second ally character image 006IWC02 displayed in a stationary state. The button images 006IWG02a are each displayed in a light-emitting manner, and an effect display is performed in which the button images 006IWG02a start moving so as to gather in one place. Note that these mini-push button images 006IWG02a are displayed on a layer higher than the second ally character image 006IWC02, but since they are in a mode with high transparency, the mini-push button images 006IWG02a are displayed on the second layer of the lower layer. The ally character image 006IWC02 is visible.

Next, the multiple mini-push button images 006IWG02a gradually reduce their movement speed, and as shown in FIG. 8-59 (11c), the multiple mini-push button images 006IWG02a gather in one place, and a strong glowing effect image surrounds them. A presentation display is performed.

After that, when the plurality of mini-push button images 006IWG02a gradually reduce their moving speed and merge into one, the display area of the image display device 5 becomes bright again as shown in FIG. 8-59 (12), and the patrol lamp image Along with 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02, an effect display is performed in which the push button image 006IWG02 and the text "Press!" are displayed as an operation promotion display that urges the player to press the push button 31B.

In this example, during the periods (11a), (11b), (11c), and (12) when the second light condensing effect is performed, the second ally character image 006IWC02 wearing the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a stationary state. Ru. In other words, the display preceding the push button image 006IWG02 (in this example, the plurality of mini push button images 006IWG02a) is displayed in a manner accompanied by movement, while the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02 are in a static state. Is displayed. With such a configuration, attention can be drawn to any display.

Next, the presentation period when applying the light condensing effect presentation will be explained. FIG. 8-60 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the presentation period of the light condensing effect presentation. Note that FIG. 8-60 shows an example where no pressing operation is performed.

As shown in Figure 8-60, when applying the light-gathering effect, the period during which the light-gathering effect is performed (for example, the period corresponding to Figure 8-59 (11a) to (11c)) is approximately 1 second. . If the pressing operation is not performed, the period during which the action promotion display is performed (for example, the period corresponding to Fig. 8-59 (12) and Fig. 8-38 (12)) is approximately 3 seconds; The performance period until the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (during this period, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode is always displayed) is approximately 7.5 seconds, and within that period, the police lamp image in the lighting mode shown in Figure 8-40 (13) is displayed. The period during which only the image 006IWG01 is displayed is approximately 2 seconds.

In this example, before the movement promotion is performed, multiple glowing mini push button images 006IWG02a are combined as shown in Figures 8-59 (11a') to (12') and (11a) to (12). It is possible to execute a light condensing effect production in which the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed. When executing the light-gathering effect, the period during which the police lamp is displayed in a lighting mode is longer than the sum of the period during which the light-gathering effect is being executed and the operation promotion period. It is configured. Specifically, the light concentration effect production period (0.1+0.3+0.6=1 second) shown in Figures 8-59 and 8-60 and the movement promotion period (3 seconds) shown in Figure 8-60 are combined. The period (7.5 seconds) in which the police lamp image 006IWG01 shown in FIG. 8-60 is displayed in a lighting mode is longer than the period (4 seconds) shown in FIG. With such a configuration, by ensuring a sufficient period for displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode, it is possible to make the announcement stand out and improve interest.

As explained above, the feature section 001IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machines (means 1-1) to (means 1-14) shown below.

(Means 1-1) A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to a player, and includes a motion detection means that can detect a player's motion, and a performance execution means that can execute a performance. The execution means is capable of executing a specific performance (for example, a second battle performance using Super Reach B) that suggests control to be in an advantageous state, and during the execution period of the specific performance, performs an action that prompts the motion detection means to perform an action. An action promotion effect that displays a promotion image (for example, a push button image 006IWG02 with the text "PUSH" displayed as an action promotion display) (for example, an action promotion corresponding to the second battle deciding button effect (single press)) During the execution period of the specific performance, the first image (for example, A character display “ichi” or “ren” displayed as a first suggestion display) and a second image related to the first image (for example, a character display “sho” or “uchi” displayed as a second suggestion display) It is possible to execute a pre-effect (for example, a pre-motion promotion effect) that indicates that the movement promotion effect will be executed by displaying . The first scene (for example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-10 (17) to 8-11 (21), Figures 8-10 (17) to (19), Figures 8-14 (44) to (45)) The first image is displayed after the scene shown in Figure 8-11 (24) to Figure 8-12 (28) is displayed, and then the second scene in the specific effect (for example, the scene shown in Figure 8-11 (24) to Figure 8-12 (28), or the scene shown in Figure 8-14) is displayed. (48) to the scenes shown in FIG. 8-15 (52)), the second image is displayed, and then the motion promoting image is displayed (see FIG. 8-21). According to such a configuration, the first image and the second image suggesting that the movement promotion effect is to be executed are displayed alternately with the scene of the specific effect, so that the linkage between the specific effect and the movement promotion effect is improved. It is possible to increase the player's motivation to make a motion with respect to the motion detection means.

(Means 1-2) In means 1-1, the first image is a first character image (for example, a character display "ichi" or "ren"), and the second image is a second character image (for example, a character display "1" or "ren"). The combination of the first character image and the second character image (e.g., "one hit" or "repeated hit") indicates the operation mode for the motion detection means (e.g., a press operation (single hit)). (push operation) and repeated tap operation) are shown. According to such a configuration, the player's desire to move can be stimulated by showing character images related to the movement mode to the movement detecting means between a plurality of scenes in a specific performance.

(Means 1-3) In the means 1-1 or 1-2, a first emphasized image (for example, FIGS. 8-11 (22) to (23) that emphasizes the display of the first image during the display period of the first image ) can display a brush image 001IWG04 tracing the character display "ichi" and a light emitting effect image around it), and a second emphasized image (e.g. It is possible to display the brush image 001IWG04 tracing the (last stroke) of the character display "sho" shown in FIGS. 8-12 (28) to (29) and the light emitting effect image around it. According to such a configuration, the first image can be made more conspicuous by the first emphasized image, and the second image can be made more conspicuous by the second emphasized image, thereby enhancing the presentation effect.

(Means 1-4) In any of the means 1-1 to 1-3, the display period of the first image and the display period of the second image have the same length (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-21). As shown, all display periods have a common length of 2 seconds). If the display period of one of the first image and the second image is made longer, the impression of the other will become weaker, and there is a risk that the production effect will deteriorate. By not providing a difference in display period between images, it is possible to prevent the presentation effect from deteriorating.

(Means 1-5) In any one of the means 1-1 to 1-4, the performance execution means executes a predetermined performance (for example, the first battle performance by Super Reach A) that suggests that the control will be controlled in an advantageous state. It is possible to perform an action promotion performance (for example, an action promotion performance corresponding to the first battle deciding button production or an action promotion production corresponding to the first battle deciding lever production) during the execution period of the predetermined production. , during the execution period of the predetermined effect, before executing the movement promotion effect, a third image (for example, a light condensing effect image of a push button image) is displayed to suggest that the movement promotion effect will be executed. It is possible to perform a performance (for example, the movement promotion advance performance shown in FIGS. 8-27 (27) to (28)), and the situation is more advantageous when the specific performance is executed than when the predetermined performance is executed. There is a high degree of expectation that this will be controlled (see Figure 8-4 (B)). According to such a configuration, the predetermined performance and the specific performance are made different in the manner of execution of the preliminary performance to increase the player's motivation for movement, and to pay attention to which of the predetermined performance and the specific performance is executed. can be done.

(Means 1-6) In the means 1-5, the motion detection means includes a first motion detection means (for example, push button 31B) and a second motion detection means (for example, operation lever 001IW31C), and executes the performance. The means includes a first movement promotion effect (for example, a movement promotion effect corresponding to the first battle deciding button effect, the parts shown in FIG. 8-27 (29) to (32)) and a second movement promotion effect. (For example, the movement promotion performance corresponding to the first battle-determining lever performance. The parts shown in Figure 8-28 (36) to (39)) can be executed, and the first movement promotion is possible during the execution period of the predetermined performance. Before executing the effect, a first preliminary effect (for example, shown in FIGS. 8-27 (27) to (28) A fourth image (for example, operation lever image 006IWG06) is displayed and the second movement promotion effect is executed before executing the second movement promotion effect. It is possible to execute a second preliminary effect (for example, the movement promotion effect shown in FIGS. 8-28 (33) to (35)) that suggests that , there is a higher expectation that the control will be in an advantageous state than when the specific performance is executed (for example, see FIG. 8-6(C)). According to such a configuration, the predetermined performance and the specific performance are made different in the manner of execution of the preliminary performance to increase the player's motivation for movement, and to pay attention to which of the predetermined performance and the specific performance is executed. can be done.

(Means 1-7) In means 1-6, the fourth image is an image imitating the second motion detection means, and the second preliminary effect is performed after displaying the fourth image at a predetermined display angle ( For example, the operating lever image 006IWG06 is displayed in the first viewpoint display mode when the operating lever 001IW31C is viewed from the front.The operating lever image 006IWG06 in the first viewpoint display mode corresponds to, for example, a front view of the operating lever 001IW31C. 8-28 (33) to (35)), the fourth image is displayed at a specific display angle different from the predetermined display angle (for example, when the operation lever 001IW31C is pressed from the viewpoint of the player directly facing the game board). The operating lever image 006IWG06 is displayed in the second viewpoint display mode when viewed. The operating lever image 006IWG06 in the second viewpoint display mode corresponds to, for example, a perspective view of the operating lever 001IW31C. FIGS. 8-28 (36) to ( (See 39)), and the second action promotion effect is executed when the fourth image is displayed at a specific display angle (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (36), the operation lever image 006IWG06 is displayed in the second viewpoint display mode, the characters ``Lever!'' and ``Knock it down!'' are displayed, and an action promotion performance corresponding to the first battle-determining lever performance is executed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to increase the special feeling of executing the second action promotion performance by the second preliminary performance, and it is possible to increase the interest in the game. Further, by reproducing the actual angle of the operating lever as seen from the player's side, it is possible to promote suitable movements.

(Means 1-8) In any one of the means 1-1 to 1-7, as the display mode of the motion promoting image, a predetermined mode (for example, a non- (effective mode) and a specific mode (for example, effective mode) that suggests that the detection of the motion by the motion detection means is effective, and when the motion promotion effect is executed during the execution period of the specific effect, the second The image is displayed, and then the third scene in the specific performance (for example, the scenes shown in Figures 8-12 (31) to (34) and the scenes shown in Figures 8-15 (55) to (58)) is displayed. After that, a character image (e.g. character display "one hit" or "successive hit") related to the action mode for the action detection means is displayed, and the action promotion image of the predetermined mode is displayed in the first size (e.g., FIG. 8-13 (37), 8-16 (61)), and then the motion promoting image in a predetermined manner is displayed in a second size larger than the first size (for example, FIG. 8-13 (41), FIG. 8-16 ( 65)), and then a specific mode of movement promotion image is displayed (see Figure 8-13 (43), Figure 8-16 (67), Figure 8-21, Figure 8-22). ). According to such a configuration, before the detection of a motion by the motion detection means is enabled, a character image relating to the motion mode for the motion detection means is displayed, so that the player can know what kind of motion he or she should perform. Furthermore, by displaying the movement promotion image in a predetermined manner in a manner that changes from the first size to the second size, it is possible to increase the player's desire to make a movement with respect to the movement detection means.

(Means 1-9) In the means 1-8, the first image is displayed in a normal mode (for example, over a first predetermined period of the display period (for example, a period from timing T1 to T2 shown in FIG. 8-21) , a non-transparent mode in which images of lower layers are not visible), and for a second predetermined period after the first predetermined period (for example, the period from timing T2 to T3 shown in FIG. 8-21), Displayed in a special mode in which at least a part of the second scene is visible (for example, a transparent mode in which at least a part of the lower layer image is visible) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-11 (22) to (23) , the parts shown in FIGS. 8-11 (24) to (25) (see FIG. 8-21), the second image is displayed in a normal manner over the first specific period of the display period, and the second image is During the second specific period after the first specific period has elapsed, at least a part of the third scene is displayed in a special manner that makes it visible (for example, in FIGS. 8-12 (29) to (30) and 8-12 (31) to (32) (see Figure 8-21). According to such a configuration, the display of the first image and the connection with the second scene and the display of the second image and the connection with the third scene can be performed without giving a sense of discomfort to the player.

(Means 1-10) In the means 1-8 or 1-9, the display period of the first image displayed after the first scene and the display period of the second image displayed after the second scene are longer than the display period of the first image displayed after the first scene. The display period of the character image displayed after the third scene is longer (see Figure 8-21). According to such a configuration, after the player's motivation to move is sufficiently increased by the first image and the second image, the movement can be suitably promoted.

(Means 1-11) In any one of the means 1-8 to 1-10, during the display period of the third scene, a special image (for example, a It is possible to display the special energy image 006IWG05) shown near the right hand of the character shown in 8-12 (33) to (34), and after the display period of the special image has elapsed, the character image and the movement promotion image in a predetermined manner are displayed. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (37), the character display "ONE BLOW" and the push button image 006IWG02 in an ineffective mode are displayed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to connect the effect from the third scene to the display of the predetermined mode of action promotion image without giving the player a sense of discomfort due to the special image.

(Means 1-12) In any of the means 1-8 to 1-11, the motion promoting image in the predetermined mode is displayed in a first size (for example, the medium size shown in FIG. 8-13 (37)). is displayed in a manner that changes to a third size smaller than the first size (for example, the extremely small size shown in Figure 8-13 (39)), and then changes from the first size to the third size. From the third size to the second size (for example, Figure 8-13 (41 ) (see Figure 8-22). According to such a configuration, by displaying the motion promoting image in the predetermined mode in a mode that changes from the first size to the third size, and then further displaying it in a mode that changes from the third size to the second size, the game It is possible to stimulate the person's motivation to move and to appropriately promote the movement.

(Means 1-13) In any one of the means 1-8 to 1-13, when the motion promoting image of the first size and the predetermined aspect is displayed, the character image of the first aspect (for example, FIG. -13 (37), when the unfilled/medium-sized character display "One-shot") is displayed and the action promotion image of the predetermined aspect is displayed in the second size, the character image of the second aspect (for example, The filled-in/large-sized character display ``Ichigo'' (shown in FIG. 8-13 (41)) is displayed. According to such a configuration, by displaying the character image in the first mode and the second mode, it is possible to increase the player's motivation to make a motion with respect to the motion detection means.

(Means 1-14) In any one of the means 1-8 to 1-13, the specific effect includes at least a first character (e.g., enemy character image 006IWC11) and a second character (e.g., second ally character image). 006IWC02), and the second scene is a scene in which the first character is displayed (for example, as shown in Figures 8-11 (24) to (27), In the second scene, the enemy character image 006IWC11 is displayed), and in the third scene, the second character is displayed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-12 (31) to (34), the third scene Then, the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to execute a specific performance that increases the player's desire to make a motion with respect to the motion detection means.

Further, this feature section 001IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machine shown below (means 2-1) to (means 2-5).

(Means 2-1) The gaming machine disclosed in the present characteristic part 001IW is a gaming machine for playing games, and is equipped with a display means (for example, an image display device 5), and the display means has a pre-announcement scene (for example, In the performance period corresponding to Figures 8-38 (8) to (12) and Figures 8-39 (8) to (12')), the announcement object (for example, police lamp image 006IWG01) is displayed in a non-announcement mode (for example, unlit). display mode (dark red mode (see left side of Figure 8-36(B))), and display the character (for example, second ally character image 006IWC02) in the first display mode (for example, an expectant expression). (For example, see Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12').) If the lottery result is a win, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in an announcement mode (for example, in a lighting mode (red) The character is displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode (for example, a happy mode; see FIG. 8-40 (13) on the right side of FIG. ), (16)), and if the result of the lottery is non-winning, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode, and the character is displayed in the first display mode and the second display mode. It is displayed in a different third display mode (for example, a disappointing mode; see FIG. 8-41 (22)). With this configuration, winning or non-winning can be communicated in an easy-to-understand manner by indicating success or failure in the form of the notification object and supplementarily changing the display form of the character.

(Means 2-2) In Means 2-1, the size of the announcement object is better when displayed in an announcement mode, and when the lottery result is non-winning, it is displayed in a non-announcement mode after the pre-announcement scene. (For example, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode after the winning notification shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) is larger than the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the non-lighting mode after the loss notification shown in FIG. 8-61 (1). (The display size is larger than image 006IWG01), when the lottery result is non-winning, it is better to display it in a non-announcement mode after the pre-announcement scene than when it is displayed in a non-announcement mode in the pre-announcement scene. (For example, the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the non-lit state after the missed announcement shown in Figure 8-61 (1) is larger than the pre-announcement scene shown in Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12') (The display size is larger than that of the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the non-lit state). With such a configuration, by making the notification object appear larger when announcing the win, it is possible to appeal the win in a suitable manner. Furthermore, even in the non-announcement mode, when announcing non-winning, the non-winning can be made easier to recognize by making it appear larger than the pre-announcement scene.

(Means 2-3) In the means 2-1 or 2-2, if the lottery result is a win, the display means displays the announcement object in an announcement mode without displaying the character after the pre-announcement scene. Then, the notification object is displayed in the notification mode, the character is displayed in the second display mode (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-40 (13), the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in the lighting mode without displaying the character). , Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-40 (14) to (16), the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lighting manner, and the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in a happy manner), and the result of the lottery is non-winning. In this case, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode, and the character is displayed in a third display mode (for example, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a non-lighting mode as shown in Figure 8-41 (22)). and displays the second ally character image 006IWC02 in a disappointing manner). With such a configuration, only the notification object of the notification mode is displayed without displaying the character when announcing the winning, so that the content of the notification can be made easier to understand.

(Means 2-4) In any of the means 2-1 to 2-3, if the result of the lottery is a win, after the pre-announcement scene, the display means displays the character in the same facial expression as the pre-announcement scene. At the same time, the notification object is displayed in a notification mode (for example, after the scene shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) and before the scene shown in FIG. 8-40 (14), the second ally character image 006IWC02 is displayed in the pre-announcement scene. ), then the character is displayed with a surprised expression, then the character is displayed with a happy expression, and then the character is displayed with the same expression as the second ally character (for example, the second ally character Image 006IWC02 is displayed in the order of surprised expression (FIG. 8-40 (14)), happy expression (FIG. 8-40 (15)), and happy action (FIG. 8-40 (16))) . With this configuration, the character's facial expression changes to the facial expression that the player wants the player to have, so it is possible to provide an environment in which the player can easily tune in and enjoy the game.

(Means 2-5) In any of the means 2-1 to 2-4, the background color in the display means is the first color (for example, a white-based color scheme) in the pre-announcement scene, and the lottery result is a winning In this case, after the pre-announcement scene, the color will be a different color from the first color (for example, a red-based color scheme), and if the result of the lottery is non-winning, after the pre-announcement scene, the color will be the same as the first color. It will be a systematic color (for example, a white-based color scheme). With this configuration, winning and non-winning can be easily recognized from the change in background color.

Further, this feature section 001IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machine shown below (means 3-1) to (means 3-4).

(Means 3-1) A gaming machine for playing a game, which includes a display means (for example, an image display device 5), and the display means includes a notification object and a character (for example, a police lamp image 006IWG01 and a second ally character image 006IWC02). can be displayed in the pre-announcement scene (for example, the presentation period corresponding to Figures 8-38 (8) to (12) and Figure 8-39 (8) to (12')), and in the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode (for example, a non-lit mode (dark red mode), see the left side of Figure 8-36 (B)), and the character is displayed in a first display mode (for example, with an expectant expression) ( For example, see Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12')), if the lottery result is a win, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is changed to an announcement mode (for example, a lighting mode (red glowing mode)). ).The character is displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode (for example, a happy mode; see FIG. 8-40 (15) on the right side of FIG. 8-36(B)). , (16)), and if the lottery result is non-winning, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode, and the character is displayed in a different manner from the first display mode and the second display mode. The notification object is displayed in a third display mode (for example, a disappointing mode; see Figure 8-41 (22)), and in the pre-announcement scene, an action promotion display that urges the player to take action is displayed at a position where the notification object is visible. (For example, as shown in Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12'), the push button image 006IWG02 and the character display of "Press!" and "Continuously press" are placed in a position that does not overlap with the police lamp image 006IWG01 ( or at least in a position where part of the police lamp image 006IWG01 is visible and overlaps), and if the result of the lottery is a win, if the player makes a movement during the movement promotion period in which the movement promotion display is displayed. , displays the notification object in a notification mode (for example, when the push button 31B is pressed in the state shown in FIG. 8-38 (12), or when the push button 31B is pressed in the state shown in FIG. 8-39 (12') When the repeated tapping operation (specifically, the repeated tapping operation that satisfies the execution conditions) is performed, the state changes to the state shown in FIG. 8-40 (13), and the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state). With this configuration, winning or non-winning can be communicated in an easy-to-understand manner by indicating success or failure in the form of the notification object and supplementarily changing the display form of the character. Furthermore, by displaying the action promotion display at a position where the notification object is visible, it is possible to draw attention to both the presence of the notification object and the action promotion display.

(Means 3-2) In means 3-1, the action promotion display includes an image promotion display imitating an object to perform an action, and a text promotion display (for example, Fig. 8-38 (12), Fig. 8 -39 (12'), the display means includes the push button image 006IWG02 and text displays such as "Press!" and "Continuously press"). Display them so that they are not covered (for example, as shown in Figure 8-38 (12), Figure 8-39 (12'), and Figure 8-48, the push button image 006IWG02 and the words ``Press!'' and ``Continuously press'') The character display is displayed at a position that does not overlap with the police lamp image 006IWG01 (or at least a position where a part of the police lamp image 006IWG01 overlaps in a visible state). With such a configuration, it is possible to always draw attention to the notification object.

(Means 3-3) In the means 3-1 or 3-2, the display means displays such that the action of the image promotion display, the action of the notification object, and the action of the character are not synchronized (for example, in FIG. As shown in FIG. 48, the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed in such a way that the button part repeats a state in which it is not sunk (Fig. 8-48 (1)) and a state in which it is sunk (Fig. 8-48 (2)). , the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02 are displayed so as to repeat movement to the right (Fig. 8-48 (1)) and movement to the left (Fig. 8-48 (2)). behavior appears to be out of sync). With such a configuration, attention can be drawn to any display.

(Means 3-4) In any one of the means 3-1 to 3-3, when displaying the image promotion display, the display means displays the announcement object and the character statically, and displays the image promotion display in a mode that involves movement. (For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-59 (11a) to (12), the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 and the second ally character image 006IWC02 are displayed in a static state, while the The mini push button image 006IWG02a is displayed in a manner accompanied by an action). With such a configuration, attention can be drawn to any display.

Further, this feature section 001IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machine shown below (means 4-1) to (means 4-2).

(Means 4-1) A gaming machine for playing games, which is equipped with a display means (for example, an image display device 5), and the display means displays pre-announcement scenes (for example, FIGS. 8-38 (8) to (12) and During the performance period corresponding to (8) to (12') in FIG. 8-39), the notification object (for example, the police lamp image 006IWG01) is displayed in a non-announcement mode (for example, a non-lighting mode (dark red mode). (B) (see left side)), and the character (e.g., second ally character image 006IWC02) is displayed in the first display mode (e.g., an expectant expression) (e.g., Fig. 8-38 (12), Fig. 8-39 (12')), if the lottery result is a win, after the pre-announcement scene, the notification object is displayed in the notification mode (for example, lighting mode (red glowing mode). Figure 8-36 (B) right side, 8-40 (13)), the character is displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode (for example, a happy mode; see FIGS. 8-40 (15) and (16)), and If the result is non-winning, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode, and the character is displayed in a third display mode different from the first display mode and the second display mode (for example, a disappointing mode). .Refer to Figure 8-41 (22)), the title is announced in the pre-announcement scene (for example, the title is announced as shown in Figure 8-38 (8) and Figure 8-39 (8)), and the title is announced in the pre-announcement scene. The notification period in which the object is displayed in the notification mode is longer than the title notification period in which the title notification is performed, and shorter than the fanfare period (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-51, the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in the lighting mode) The period (7.5 seconds) is longer than the title notification period (2 seconds) during which title notification is performed, and shorter than the fanfare period (11 seconds) as shown in FIG. 8-58). With this configuration, winning or non-winning can be communicated in an easy-to-understand manner by indicating success or failure in the form of the notification object and supplementarily changing the display form of the character. In addition, by ensuring a sufficient period for the announcement object to be displayed in the announcement format, the announcement can stand out, and by making the fanfare period longer, it is possible to make the player aware of winning, and the role of each period can be optimized. can be kept.

(Means 4-2) In means 4-1, the title display displayed as the title notification includes an image corresponding to the notification object and a character display related to the notification object (for example, FIG. 8-38 (8), As shown in -39 (8), the title display displayed as the title notification includes three effect images corresponding to the police lamp image 006IWG01 and the character display of "Patopato" related to the police lamp), and the title display related to the notification object. The character display is displayed with more emphasis than other character displays (for example, as shown in Figures 8-38 (8) and 8-39 (8), the character display "Patopato" is displayed with more emphasis than the character display "Push Chance"). ''. Also, for example, only the character display ``Patopato'' may be displayed with an effect or may be operated). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player strongly recognize the notification object.

Further, this feature section 001IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machine shown below (means 5-1) to (means 5-3).

(Means 5-1) A gaming machine for playing games, which includes a display means (for example, an image display device 5), and the display means displays pre-announcement scenes (for example, FIGS. 8-38 (8) to (12) and During the performance period corresponding to (8) to (12') in FIG. 8-39), the notification object (for example, the police lamp image 006IWG01) is displayed in a non-announcement mode (for example, a non-lighting mode (dark red mode). (B) (see left side)), and the character (e.g., second ally character image 006IWC02) is displayed in the first display mode (e.g., an expectant expression) (e.g., Fig. 8-38 (12), Fig. 8-39 (12')), if the lottery result is a win, after the pre-announcement scene, the notification object is displayed in the notification mode (for example, lighting mode (red glowing mode). Figure 8-36 (B) right side, 8-40 (13)), the character is displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode (for example, a happy mode; see FIGS. 8-40 (15) and (16)), and If the result is non-winning, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode, and the character is displayed in a third display mode different from the first display mode and the second display mode (for example, a disappointing mode). (See Figure 8-41 (22)), and in the pre-announcement scene, action promotion is performed to prompt the player to take action (for example, as shown in Figures 8-38 (12) and Figure 8-39 (12')). , the display means displays the push button image 006IWG02 and the characters "Press!" and "Continuous Hit"), and when the result of the lottery is a win, the display means displays the button image 006IWG02 and the character display of "Press!" and "Continuous Hit". When an operation is performed, the notification object is displayed in a notification mode (for example, when the push button 31B is pressed in the state shown in FIG. 8-38 (12), or as shown in FIG. 8-39 (12') When the push button 31B is repeatedly pressed in this state (specifically, a repeated tap operation that satisfies the execution conditions), the state changes to the state shown in FIG. 8-40 (13) and the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state.) , the notification period in which the notification object is displayed in the notification mode is longer than the action promotion period and shorter than the fanfare period (for example, the period in which the police lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in the lighting mode as shown in FIG. 8-51 (7) .5 seconds) is longer than the movement promotion period (3 seconds) and shorter than the fanfare period (11 seconds) as shown in Figure 8-58. With this configuration, winning or non-winning can be communicated in an easy-to-understand manner by indicating success or failure in the form of the notification object and supplementarily changing the display form of the character. In addition, by ensuring a sufficient period for the announcement object to be displayed in the announcement format, the announcement can stand out, and by making the fanfare period longer, it is possible to make the player aware of winning, and the role of each period can be optimized. can be kept.

(Means 5-2) In means 5-1, an image promotion display imitating the object to perform the movement is displayed as movement promotion (for example, Fig. 8-38 (12), Fig. 8-39 (12'), Fig. 8-59 (12), (12'), the push button image 006IWG02 is displayed), and the pre-stage display of the image promotion display is executed before the action promotion is performed (for example, in Fig. 8 -59 As shown in (11a') to (12') and (11a) to (12), there is a light-concentration effect in which multiple glowing mini push button images 006IWG02a are combined to display push button image 006IWG02). The notification period is longer than the sum of the first stage performance period and the movement promotion period during which the first stage performance is executed (for example, the light condensing effect performance period shown in Figures 8-59 and 8-60). (0.1 + 0.3 + 0.6 = 1 second) and the movement promotion period (3 seconds) shown in Figure 8-60 (4 seconds), the police lamp image 006IWG01 shown in Figure 8-60 is in a lighting mode. The period displayed in (7.5 seconds) is longer). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the notification stand out by ensuring a sufficient period for displaying the notification object in the notification mode, thereby increasing interest.

(Means 5-3) In means 5-1 or 5-2, if the player makes a movement before the movement promotion period ends, the notification object is displayed in a notification mode for the remaining period of the movement promotion period. (For example, as shown in Figure 8-55, if the pressing operation is performed immediately (approximately 0 seconds) after the start of the operation promotion period, the police lamp image 006IWG01 will be displayed in a lit state. If the pressing operation is performed after approximately 1 second, the period will be approximately 9.5 seconds, and if the 3-second movement promotion period has elapsed without any pressing operation, the period will be approximately 10.5 seconds. 7.5 seconds). With such a configuration, the period during which the notification object is displayed in the notification mode becomes longer, so that the player can be further immersed in the afterglow of the blessing.

Further, this feature section 001IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machine shown below (means 6-1) to (means 6-3).

(Means 6-1) A gaming machine for playing a game, which is capable of executing a first performance that notifies a winner and a second performance, in which the first performance is an inciting scene and then moves a movable body. (For example, the super reach C (powerful RUSH) effect when the powerful RUSH mode is selected as shown in Figure 8-42, Figure 8-43, Figure 8-44, and Figure 8-45). 2. In the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode, the character is displayed in the first display mode, and then the announcement object is displayed in the announcement mode without moving the movable body, and the character is displayed in the first display mode. This is an effect that announces winning by displaying the character in a second display mode different from the first display mode (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-37, 8-38, 8-39, and 8-40). In the Super Reach C (Patopat Attack) performance when selecting the Patopato Attack mode, the period in which the notification object is displayed in the notification mode in the second performance is longer than the period in which the movable body is operating in the first performance. (For example, the period in which the police lamp image 006IWG01 shown in FIG. 8-51 is displayed in a lighting mode (7.5 seconds) is longer than the period in which the accessory is operated (2.2 seconds) shown in FIG. 8-50. long). With such a configuration, the notification can make an impression by ensuring a sufficient period for displaying the notification object in the notification mode.

(Means 6-2) In means 6-1, identification information (for example, a special symbol) is displayed in a variable manner, and when a specific display result (for example, a jackpot symbol) is derived and displayed as a result of the variable display, the player becomes a winner. A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous for The performance period of the first performance and the performance period of the second performance are each an epilogue period (for example, a blessing/lingering period from when the jackpot is announced to the player until the symbol is confirmed, and the ending scene of the super reach performance is played. In the epilogue period of the first performance, the movable body is located at the retreat position, and the variable display result of the performance identification information corresponding to the character and the specific display result is displayed (for example, (24) in Figure 8-45). ~ (28), As shown in Figures 8-50 (24) ~ (28), the movable body 32 is located at the initial position, and the combination "222" of the second mini-character 006IWC05 and the decorative symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol is displayed. In the epilogue period of the second performance, the variable display result of the performance identification information corresponding to the specific display result is displayed with the notification object being displayed in the notification mode (for example, FIG. 8-40 (17 ) to (21), as shown in Figures 8-51 (17) to (21), when the patrol lamp image 006IWG01 is displayed in a lit state, the combination of decorative symbols "222" which becomes the jackpot symbol is displayed. ). With this configuration, the first performance and the second performance differ from each other in the performance of the epilogue period, so that each can give an impression. In particular, during the epilogue period of the second performance, variable display results of performance identification information corresponding to specific display results are displayed while the announcement object is displayed in a notification mode, giving an impression of winning in the second performance. be able to.

(Means 6-3) In the means 6-1 or 6-2, the first effect and the second effect are effects executed based on the same variation pattern (for example, the variation shown in FIG. 8-4). When pattern PA2-5 or variable pattern PB2-5 is determined, if the production mode is Powerful RUSH mode, Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) production is executed, and if the production mode is Patopato Attack mode, Super Reach is executed. C (patopato attack) effect is executed), when the first effect is executed based on the first variation pattern, and when the second effect is executed based on the first variation pattern, the variation The period from the start to the end of the variation is the same (for example, as shown in Figure 8-4, the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) performance or Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) performance is executed based on the fluctuation pattern PA2-5. (If the Super Reach C (Powerful RUSH) effect or Super Reach C (Patopato Attack) effect is executed based on variation pattern PB2-5, the duration is 100 seconds.) . With such a configuration, it is possible to execute a plurality of effects based on the same variation pattern, and it is also possible to impress the user with the announcement using the announcement object.

Further, this feature section 001IW discloses the configurations of the gaming machine shown below (means 7-1) to (means 7-2).

(Means 7-1) A gaming machine for playing a game, which includes a display means and a sound output means (for example, speakers 8L, 8R), and the display means has an announcement object and a character (for example, a police lamp image 006IWG01 and The second ally character image 006IWC02) can be displayed in the pre-announcement scene (for example, the production period corresponding to FIGS. 8-38 (8) to (12) and FIGS. 8-39 (8) to (12')), In the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in a non-announcement mode (for example, a non-lit mode (dark red mode), see the left side of Figure 8-36(B)), and the character is displayed in a first display mode (for example, full of expectations). If the result of the lottery is a win, the notification object is displayed in the notification mode (for example, see Figures 8-38 (12) and 8-39 (12')) after the pre-announcement scene. The character is displayed in a second display mode (for example, a happy mode) that is different from the first display mode. 8-40 (15) and (16)), and if the lottery result is non-winning, after the pre-announcement scene, the announcement object is displayed in the non-announcement mode, and the character is displayed in the first display mode and The notification object is displayed in a third display mode that is different from the second display mode (for example, a disappointing mode; see FIG. 8-41 (22)), and the sound output means is linked to displaying the notification object in the notification mode. An announcement sound is output, and then the character's voice is output (for example, as shown in Figure 8-40 (13), an announcement sound is output in conjunction with displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a lighting mode, and then As shown in 8-40 (14) to (16), each character's voice such as ``ha'', ``yay'', and ``yay, yay'' is output in a tone corresponding to the character). With this configuration, winning or non-winning can be communicated in an easy-to-understand manner by indicating success or failure in the form of the notification object and supplementarily changing the display form of the character. Furthermore, by sequentially outputting the notification sound and the character's voice, the winning can be made more exciting.

(Means 7-2) In means 7-1, when the lottery result is non-winning, the sound output means does not output the sound corresponding to displaying the announcement object in a non-announcement mode, and outputs the voice of the character. (For example, as shown in Figure 8-41 (22), the sound corresponding to displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in a non-lit mode is not output, but the character voice with the tone corresponding to the character, ``Okay, do your best next time.'' -!'' is output), and if the result of the lottery is a win, the period in which the notification sound is output is longer than the period in which the character's voice is output (for example, as shown in Figure 8-40 (13) During the period in which the notification sound is output in conjunction with displaying the police lamp image 006IWG01 in the lighting mode, the character's voice will be "hah", "yay", " (longer than the period in which each character's voice is output, "Yay, yay"), the period in which the character's voice is output when the lottery result is a win is longer than the period in which the character's voice is output when the lottery result is a non-winner. longer than the output period (for example, as shown in Figure 8-40 (14) to (16), when a jackpot is hit, each character says ``ha'', ``yay'', ``yay, yay'' in the tone corresponding to the character. The period for outputting the voice is longer than the period for outputting the character's voice saying "Okay, let's do our best next time!" in the tone corresponding to the character when the character misses, as shown in FIG. 8-41 (22)).
