Under the hitting ball supply tray 3, there are provided a surplus ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for firing the hitting ball. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  An effect display device 9 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided near the center of the game area 7. On the display screen of the effect display device 9, there is an effect symbol display area for performing a variation display of the effect symbol in synchronization with the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. The effect display device 9 corresponds to a variable display device (variable display unit) that performs variable display of effect symbols as a plurality of types of identification information each of which can be identified. In the effect symbol display area, there is a symbol display area for variably displaying, for example, three decoration (effect) identification information of “left”, “middle”, and “right”. The symbol display area includes “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, but the position of the symbol display area 9A is not fixed on the display screen of the effect display device 9. Alternatively, the three areas of the symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R may be separated. The effect display device 9 is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. When the first special symbol display 8a is executing the variable display of the first special symbol, the effect control microcomputer causes the effect display device 9 to execute the effect display along with the variable display. When the variation display of the second special symbol is being executed on the symbol display 8b, the effect display is executed by the effect display device along with the variation display, so that it is possible to easily grasp the progress of the game.

  On the left side of the lower part of the game board 6, there is provided a first special symbol display (first variation display unit) 8a for variably displaying a first special symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. In this embodiment, the first special symbol display device 8a is realized by a simple and small display device (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. In other words, the first special symbol display 8a is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9. On the right side of the lower part of the game board 6, a second special symbol display (second variation display unit) 8b that variably displays a second special symbol as a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable is provided. The second special symbol display 8b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7-segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. In other words, the second special symbol display 8b is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9.

  The small display is formed in a square shape, for example. In this embodiment, the type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same (for example, both 0 to 9), but the types may be different. Further, the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b may be configured to variably display, for example, a number (or a two-digit symbol) of 00 to 99, for example.

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 8a and the second special symbol indicator 8b are collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator (variable display unit). There are things to do.

  The variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is the first start condition (that the game ball has won the first start winning opening 13) or the second start condition (the game ball is the first one) After the 2 start winning opening 14 is established), the variable display start condition (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is executed) In the absence of the game and the big hit game is not executed), the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed when the variable display time elapses. Data relating to the variable display in which the start condition is satisfied but the start condition is not satisfied is held and stored as hold storage data until the start condition is satisfied. Specifically, the on-hold storage data is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 of the game control microcomputer 560 described later.

  Note that winning means that a game ball has entered a predetermined area such as a winning opening. Deriving and displaying a display result is to stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information) (excluding stop before so-called re-variation). Further, in this embodiment, the start condition of the variable display is established in the order in which the start winning occurs regardless of the winning at the first starting winning opening 13 and the winning at the second starting winning opening 14. The variable display start condition may be established by giving priority to one of winning in the winning opening 13 and winning in the second start winning opening 14. For example, when giving priority to winning at the first start winning opening 13, the display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed and the jackpot game is not executed. For example, even when the second reserved memory number is not 0, the variable display of the first special symbol is continuously executed until the first reserved memory number becomes 0.

  In the vicinity of the first special symbol display 8a, during the time of the first special symbol change display time by the first special symbol display 8a, the first decorative symbol as a decorative (design) symbol is displayed in a variable manner. A first decorative symbol display 9a is provided. In this embodiment, the first decorative symbol display 9a is composed of two LEDs. The first decorative symbol display 9a is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. Also, in the vicinity of the second special symbol display unit 8b, during the variation display time of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display unit 8b, the variation display of the second decorative symbol as a symbol for decoration (for production) is performed. A second decorative symbol display 9b is provided. The second decorative symbol display 9b is composed of two LEDs. The second decorative symbol display 9b is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board.

It has been. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening 14 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start opening switch 14a. The variable winning ball device 15 is opened by a solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 14 (it is easy to start winning), and is in a state advantageous to the player (first state). In the state where the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state, it is easier for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 14 than the first starting winning opening 13. Further, the state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in a closed state is a disadvantageous state (second state) for the player, and the game ball does not win the second start winning opening 14. Accordingly, in a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, it is easier for the game ball to win the first starting winning port 13 than the second starting winning port 14. In the state where the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the closed state, it may be configured that the winning is possible (that is, it is difficult for the gaming ball to win) although it is difficult to win a prize.

  Hereinafter, the first start winning opening 13 and the second start winning opening 14 may be collectively referred to as a start winning opening or a starting opening.

  When the variable winning ball device 15 is controlled to be in the open state, the game ball heading for the variable winning ball device 15 is very likely to win the second start winning port 14. The first start winning opening 13 is provided immediately below the effect display device 9, but the winning rate of the second starting winning opening 14 is set to be higher than that of the first starting winning opening 13. May be. Specifically, the space between the lower end of the effect display device 9 and the first start winning opening 13 is further narrowed, nails are densely arranged around the first starting winning opening 13, or the first start winning opening The nail arrangement around 13 is made difficult to guide the game ball to the first start winning port 13 so that the winning rate of the second starting winning port 14 is higher than the winning rate of the first starting winning port 13. It may be.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the variable winning ball apparatus 15 that opens and closes only the second start winning opening 14 is provided. Any of the start winning ports 14 may be provided with a variable winning ball device that performs an opening / closing operation.

  On the side of the first decorative symbol display 9a, the number of effective winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 13, that is, the first reserved memory number (the reserved memory is also referred to as the start memory or the start prize memory) is displayed. A first special symbol storage memory display 18a comprising four displays is provided. The first special symbol storage memory indicator 18a increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 8a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  On the side of the second decorative symbol display 9b is a second special symbol reserved memory display 18b comprising four indicators for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning opening 14, that is, the second reserved memory number. Is provided. The second special symbol storage memory display 18b increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 every time there is an effective start winning. And whenever the fluctuation | variation display by the 2nd special symbol display 8b is started, the number of the indicators to light is reduced by one.

  In addition, the display screen of the effect display device 9 displays an area (hereinafter referred to as a summed pending storage display unit 18c) that displays a total number (total number of pending pending memories) that is the sum of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number. .) Is provided. Since the summation pending storage display unit 18c for displaying the total number is provided, it is possible to easily grasp the total number of execution conditions that have not met the variable display start condition. In addition, since the total reserved memory display unit 18c is provided, the first special symbol reserved memory display 18a and the second special symbol reserved memory display 18b may not be provided.

  The effect display device 9 is for decoration (for effects) during the variable display time of the first special symbol by the first special symbol indicator 8a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol by the second special symbol indicator 8b. The effect symbol as a symbol is displayed in a variable manner. The change display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Further, the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b and the variation display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Further, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 is made to recall the jackpot. The combination of effect symbols as a specific display result is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, a star-shaped movable member 84 that rotates is provided on the upper side of the decorative portion around the effect display device 9. The movable member 84 is a member that is provided at a position that is visible to the player, such as a decorative portion around the effect display device 9, and that operates according to a predetermined effect such as a movable member notice described later. More specifically, the movable member 84 is attached to the rotation shaft of the motor 88 and is driven and rotates as the motor 88 rotates. The movable member 84 is operated when a predetermined operation condition is satisfied, such as when a pseudo-series effect is executed.

  On the right side of the decorative portion around the effect display device 9, an upper effect LED 85a, a middle effect LED 85b, and a lower effect LED 85c are provided. The upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c are executed in association with a re-variation effect of a pseudo-series (to be described later) (each re-variation period (including the initial variation period) during one variation period). Blinks when an effect is performed. Here, the pseudo-ream is an effect display that makes it appear that a plurality of fluctuations corresponding to a plurality of reserved memories are continuously performed although it is a single fluctuation corresponding to one reserved memory. Abbreviation for pseudo-continuous variation.

  In addition, the pseudo-ream is within the variation time determined with respect to one start winning prize in order to make it appear as if multiple symbols of variable display (variable display) have been executed for one starting winning prize. In this case, a special variation pattern (also referred to as a variation display pattern) in which temporary stop and re-variation are executed a predetermined number of times for all the symbol strings (left, middle, right). For example, the greater the number of repeated re-executions (the total number of changes including the initial change and subsequent re-changes, also referred to as the pseudo-variable number of times), the greater the reliability of the big hit (the difference from the big hit) The ratio of the ratio that is selected when the jackpot is large, the ratio of the ratio that is jackpot, that is, the degree of reliability that is the jackpot) is increased. More specifically, the ratio selected when it is determined that the jackpot is high. In addition, when the pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed, the reach may be finally established. Furthermore, the production ratio may vary depending on the number of re-variation repeated executions (the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations). For example, when the re-variation execution count reaches 2 times (pseudo continuous variation count 3 times), “reach determination” is reached, and when the re-variation execution count reaches 3 times (pseudo continuous change count 4 times), “super reach determination” is reached. In addition, when the number of executions of re-variation reaches 4 times (5 times of pseudo-continuous variation number), it may be “big hit fixed”. For example, an odd number of “1”, “3”, and “5”, and a distinctive output that is not a flat eye, such as an array of “1”, “2”, and “3”, gives the player a pseudo-ream. Can appeal. Further, the pseudo-ream can be appealed when temporarily stopping and / or re-changing. Further, a step-up notice as described later may be executed even at the time of re-variation during “pseudo continuous variation”. That is, when the re-variation is executed three times (the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations is four times), the step-up notice can be executed four times. In that case, it is possible to inform the player that the reliability is higher by increasing the number of step-ups as the number of pseudo-continuous fluctuations progresses.

  Here, the step-up notice is a kind of notice effect for notifying that the game state is a big hit gaming state at the time of the change display of the symbol executed for one start winning prize, and in particular, the mode of the notice effect (display, Sounds, lamps, moving objects, etc.) refers to notice effects that change (step up) in multiple stages. In general, the greater the number of changes (number of steps), the higher the reliability. The target of the notice effect is often a notice that it will be a big hit or reach, but the target for notifying a probable big hit, a specific reach, or promotion to a certain change may also be changed. For example, it may be “reach confirmation” when going to step 3, “super reach confirmation” when going to step 4, and “big hit confirmation” when going to step 5. The change (step-up) of the mode of the notice effect is a step-up as a result of a change in the shape or color of one character as well as those in which different characters appear in order as in this embodiment. It may be a thing. That is, if it is possible to recognize that the state of the notice (display, sound, lamp, movable object, etc.) as seen from the player has changed stepwise, it is not limited to the above example, but can be said to be a step-up notice. . Here, a character is a video showing a living thing such as a human being, an animal, and a plant, and something other than a living thing such as some symbol, character, and symbol (an image showing these as they are and an image using these as motifs) Any image can be included as long as the player can recognize the image as a different image from the design (effect design).

  In addition, in the decorative portion around the effect display device 9, a movable member 78 that is attached to the rotation shaft of the motor 86 and moves when the motor 86 rotates is provided on the left side. The movable member 78 operates when a pseudo-series effect is executed. A vibration motor (not shown) that vibrates the mounting portion of each LED is provided in the vicinity of the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c.

The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 includes an opening / closing plate, and when the specific display result (big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, and the specific display result (big hit symbol) on the second special symbol display 8b. When the open / close plate is controlled to be open by the solenoid 21 in the specific game state (big hit game state) that occurs when the symbol is derived and displayed, the big winning opening serving as the winning area is opened. The game ball that has won the big winning opening is detected by the count switch 23.

  The game area 6 is also provided with winning ports (ordinary winning ports) 29, 30, 33, 39 for paying out a predetermined number of premium game balls determined in advance based on winning of game balls. The game balls won in the winning openings 29, 30, 33, 39 are detected by the winning opening switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a.

  A normal symbol display 10 is provided on the right side of the game board 6. The normal symbol display 10 variably displays a plurality of types of identification information called “normal symbols” (for example, “◯” and “x”).

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the display variation of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, the upper and lower lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized when turned on) are turned on alternately to perform variable display. For example, if the lower lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. . When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. In other words, the state of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the normal symbol is a stop symbol (a state in which a game ball can be awarded at the second start winning port 14). To change. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol holding storage display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 is provided. Each time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of LEDs to be lit is reduced by one. Further, in the probability variation state where the probability of being determined to be a big hit as compared to the normal state is high, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the variable winning ball apparatus 15 Opening time and opening times are increased. In addition, even when the symbol variation time is shortened (a gaming state in which the special symbol variation display time is shortened) although not in the probability variation state, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 are increased.

  On the left and right sides of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there are provided decorative LEDs 25 that are blinked during the game.

Note that the operation button 30 is not limited to a button that can be pressed, and may be a button that can be rotated, such as a rotary selector, or a touch operation or a pressing operation, such as a touch panel. It may be a thing, and the thing which can be tilted like a lever type switch may be sufficient. Further, instead of the operation button 30, a sensor that can detect a predetermined operation action by the player, such as an infrared sensor, a CCD sensor, or a CMOS sensor, may be used. That is, the operation button 30 only needs to be able to detect a predetermined operation action by the player mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically.

  In the gaming machine, a ball striking device (not shown) that drives a driving motor in response to a player operating the batting operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a gaming ball to the gaming area 7. ) Is provided. A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 7 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7, and then descends the game area 7. When the game ball enters the first start winning port 13 and is detected by the first start port switch 13a, if the variation display of the first special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 1), the first special symbol display unit 8a starts the variable display (variation) of the first special symbol, and the first decorative symbol display unit 9a displays the variable display of the first decorative symbol. The effect display device 9 starts displaying the effect symbols in a variable manner. That is, the variable display of the first special symbol, the first decorative symbol, and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the first start winning opening 13. If the variable display of the first special symbol cannot be started, the first reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning port 14 and is detected by the second start port switch 14a, if the variation display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 2), the second special symbol display 8b starts the variable display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the second decorative symbol display 9b displays the variable display of the second decorative symbol. The effect display device 9 starts displaying the effect symbols in a variable manner. That is, the change display of the second special symbol, the second decorative symbol, and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the second start winning opening 14. If the variable display of the second special symbol cannot be started, the second reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

In this embodiment, the ROM 54 and the RAM 55 are built in the game control microcomputer 560. That is, the game control microcomputer 560 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to incorporate at least the CPU 56 and the RAM 55, and the ROM 54 may be external or built-in. The I / O port unit 57 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 560 further includes a random number circuit 503 that generates hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power source created on the power supply substrate 910. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data (special symbol process flag, etc.) corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means, and data indicating the number of unpaid winning balls are stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 55 is backed up.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, the CPU 56 executes control in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 54. Therefore, the game control microcomputer 560 (or CPU 56) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31.

  The random number circuit 503 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to make a big hit based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. The random number circuit 503 updates the numerical data according to the set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and generates the random data at random timing. Based on the fact that the starting winning time is the time of reading (extracting) the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the read numerical data becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 503 includes a numeric data update range selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit value selection setting function), numeric data update rule selection setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503. For example, the game control microcomputer 560 includes an ID number of the game control microcomputer 560 stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 54 (an ID number assigned with a different value for each product of the game control microcomputer 560). ) Is used as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 503 can be further improved.

Also, an output circuit 59 for driving the solenoid 16 for opening and closing the variable winning ball device 15 and the solenoid 21 for opening and closing the special variable winning ball device 20 that forms a big winning opening according to a command from the game control microcomputer 560 is also provided. It is mounted on the substrate 31.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 includes a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b, which variably displays special symbols, a normal symbol display 10, which variably displays normal symbols, and a first special symbol hold memory. Display control of the display 18a, the second special symbol storage memory display 18b, and the normal symbol storage memory display 41 is performed.

  An information output circuit (not shown) that outputs an information output signal such as jackpot information indicating the occurrence of a jackpot gaming state to an external device such as a hall computer is also mounted on the main board 31.

  In this embodiment, effect control means (effect control microcomputer 100 described later) mounted on the effect control board 80 instructs effect contents from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77. When the command is received, the display control of the first decorative symbol display 9a and the second decorative symbol display 9b for displaying the decorative symbols in a variable manner and the display control of the effect display device 9 for displaying the dynamic symbols in a variable manner are performed. In addition, the effect control means mounted on the effect control board 80 receives an operation detection signal from the operation button 30 and performs various effects such as a notice effect described later according to the signal.

  The effect control means mounted on the effect control board 80 controls the display of the decoration LED 25 provided on the game board and the frame LED 28 provided on the frame side via the lamp driver board 35. The sound output from the speaker 27 is controlled via the sound output board 70.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a circuit configuration example of the relay board 77, the effect control board 80, the lamp driver board 35, and the audio output board 70. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70 are not equipped with a microcomputer, but may be equipped with a microcomputer. Further, without providing the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70, only the effect control board 80 may be provided for effect control.

  The effect control board 80 includes an effect control CPU 101 and an effect control microcomputer 100 including a RAM for storing information related to effects such as effect symbol process flags. The RAM may be externally attached. In this embodiment, the RAM in the production control microcomputer 100 is not backed up. In the effect control board 80, the effect control CPU 101 operates in accordance with a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives signals from the main board 31 input via the relay board 77. In response to the (effect control INT signal), an effect control command is received via the input driver 102 and the input port 103. Further, the effect control CPU 101 causes the VDP (video display processor) 109 to perform display control of the effect display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  An operation signal from the operation button 30 is input to the effect control microcomputer 100 via the input port 107. As will be described later, the effect control microcomputer 100 performs a game effect such as a notice effect based on an operation signal from the operation button 30.

  In this embodiment, a VDP 109 that performs display control of the effect display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100 is mounted on the effect control board 80. The VDP 109 has an address space independent of the production control microcomputer 100, and maps a VRAM therein. VRAM is a buffer memory for developing image data. Then, the VDP 109 outputs the image data in the VRAM to the effect display device 9 via the frame memory.

  The effect control CPU 101 outputs to the VDP 109 a command for reading necessary data from a CGROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The CGROM stores character image data and moving image data displayed on the effect display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols (including effect symbols), and background image data in advance. ROM. The VDP 109 reads the image data from the CGROM in response to a command from the effect control CPU 101. The VDP 109 executes display control based on the read image data.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver 102 on the effect control board 80. The input driver 102 passes the signal input from the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 80 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a regulating means.

  As a signal direction regulating means, the signal inputted from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). The unidirectional circuit 74 is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. FIG. 3 illustrates a diode. A unidirectional circuit is provided for each signal. Furthermore, since the effect control command and the effect control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the output port 571 that is a unidirectional circuit, the signal from the relay board 77 toward the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 560 side). The output port 571 is a part of the I / O port unit 57 shown in FIG. Further, a signal driver circuit that is a unidirectional circuit may be further provided outside the output port 571 (on the relay board 77 side).

  The effect control CPU 101 drives the motor 86 to operate the movable member 78 via the output port 106. Further, the effect control CPU 101 is provided in the vicinity of the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c, and drives the vibration motors 87a, 87b, 87c for vibrating the mounting portions of the LEDs via the output port 106. The vibration motor 87a vibrates the upper effect LED 85a. The vibration motor 87b vibrates the middle effect LED 85b, and the vibration motor 87c vibrates the lower effect LED 85c. Further, the effect control CPU 101 drives the motor 88 to operate the movable member 84 via the output port 106.

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 outputs a signal for driving the LED to the lamp driver board 35 via the output port 105. Further, the production control CPU 101 outputs sound number data to the audio output board 70 via the output port 104.

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver 352 via the input driver 351. The LED driver 352 supplies a current to a light emitter provided on the frame side such as the frame LED 28 based on a signal for driving the LED. Further, current is supplied to the decoration LED 25, the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c provided on the game board side.

  In the voice output board 70, the sound number data is input to the voice synthesis IC 703 via the input driver 702. The voice synthesizing IC 703 generates voice or sound effect according to the sound number data and outputs it to the amplifier circuit 705. The amplification circuit 705 outputs an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the speech synthesis IC 703 to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume 706 to the speaker 27. The voice data ROM 704 stores control data corresponding to the sound number data. The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data indicating the sound effect or sound output mode in a time-series manner in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).

  Next, the operation of the gaming machine will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a main process executed by the game control microcomputer 560 on the main board 31. When power is supplied to the gaming machine and power supply is started, the input level of the reset terminal to which the reset signal is input becomes high. Then, the game control microcomputer 560 (specifically, the CPU 56) executes a security check process that is a process for confirming whether or not the contents of the program are valid, and then performs step S (hereinafter simply referred to as S). ) The main process after 1 is started. In the main process, the CPU 56 first performs necessary initial settings.

  In the initial setting process, the CPU 56 first sets the interrupt prohibition (S1). Next, the interrupt mode is set to interrupt mode 2 (S2), and a stack pointer designation address is set to the stack pointer (S3). Then, after initialization of the built-in device (CTC (counter / timer) and PIO (parallel input / output port) which are built-in devices (built-in peripheral circuits)) is performed (S4), the RAM 55 is made accessible. Set (S5). In the interrupt mode 2, the address synthesized from the value (1 byte) of the specific register (I register) built in the CPU 56 and the interrupt vector (1 byte: least significant bit 0) output from the built-in device is This mode indicates an interrupt address.

  Next, the CPU 56 checks the state of the output signal of the clear switch (for example, mounted on the power supply board) input via the input port (S6). When the ON is detected in the confirmation, the CPU 56 executes a normal initialization process (S10 to S15).

  If the clear switch is not on, check whether data protection processing for the backup RAM area (for example, power supply stop processing such as addition of parity data) was performed when power supply to the gaming machine was stopped (S7). If it is confirmed that such a protection process has not been performed, the CPU 56 executes an initialization process. Whether there is backup data in the backup RAM area is confirmed, for example, by the state of the backup flag set in the backup RAM area in the power supply stop process.

  If it is confirmed that the power supply stop process has been performed, the CPU 56 checks the data in the backup RAM area (S8). In this embodiment, a parity check is performed as a data check. Therefore, in S8, the calculated checksum is compared with the checksum calculated and stored by the same process in the power supply stop process. When the power supply is stopped after an unexpected power failure or the like, the data in the backup RAM area should be saved, so the check result (comparison result) is normal (matched). That the check result is not normal means that the data in the backup RAM area is different from the data when the power supply is stopped. In such a case, since the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, an initialization process that is executed when the power is turned on is not performed when the power supply is stopped.

  If the check result is normal, the CPU 56 performs a game state restoration process (in S41 to S43) for returning the internal state of the game control means and the control state of the electric component control means such as the effect control means to the state when the power supply is stopped. Process). Specifically, the start address of the backup setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (S41), and the contents of the backup setting table are sequentially set in the work area (area in the RAM 55) (S42). The work area is backed up by a backup power source. In the backup setting table, initialization data for an area that may be initialized in the work area is set. As a result of the processing of S41 and S42, the saved contents remain as they are in the portion of the work area that should not be initialized. The parts that should not be initialized include, for example, data indicating a gaming state before stopping power supply (special symbol process flag, probability change flag, time reduction flag, etc.), and an area where the output state of the output port is saved (output port buffer) ), A portion where data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls is set.

  Further, the CPU 56 transmits a power failure restoration designation command (power failure restoration 1 designation command) as an initialization command at the time of power supply restoration to the effect control board 80 (S43). Then, the process proceeds to S14.

  In this embodiment, it is confirmed whether the data in the backup RAM area is stored using both the backup flag and the check data. However, only one of them may be used. That is, either the backup flag or the check data may be used as an opportunity for executing the game state restoration process.

  In the initialization process, the CPU 56 first performs a RAM clear process (S10). The RAM clear process initializes predetermined data (for example, count value data of a counter for generating a big hit determination random number) to 0, but is initialized to an arbitrary value or a predetermined value. You may make it do. Alternatively, the entire area of the RAM 55 may not be initialized, and predetermined data (for example, count value data of a counter for generating a big hit determination random number) may be left as it is. Further, the start address of the initialization setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (S11), and the contents of the initialization setting table are sequentially set in the work area in the RAM 55 (S12).

  By the processing of S11 and S12, an initial value is set to a flag for selectively performing processing according to a control state such as a special symbol process flag.

  Further, the CPU 56 initializes a sub board (a board on which a microcomputer other than the main board 31 is mounted) (a command indicating that the game control microcomputer 560 has executed an initialization process). Is also transmitted to the effect control board 80 (S13). For example, when the production control microcomputer 100 mounted on the production control board 80 receives the initialization designation command, the production display device 9 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized. Display, that is, initialization notification is performed. In the initialization process, the CPU 56 also transmits a customer waiting demonstration designation (demonstration) command.

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a random number circuit setting process for initially setting the random number circuit 503 (S14). For example, the CPU 56 performs setting according to the random number circuit setting program to cause the random number circuit 503 to update the value of the random R.

  Then, the CPU 56 sets a CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 560 so that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (S15). That is, for example, a value corresponding to 2 ms is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every 2 ms.

  When the execution of the initialization process (S10 to S15) is completed, the CPU 56 repeatedly executes the display random number update process (S17) and the initial value random number update process (S18) in the main process. When executing the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process, the interrupt disabled state is set (S16), and when the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process are completed, the interrupt enabled state is set. (S19). In this embodiment, the display random number is a random number for determining a variation pattern or the like, and the display random number update process is a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the display random number. . The initial value random number update process is a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number. In this embodiment, the initial value random number is an initial value of a count value such as a counter for generating a random number for determining whether or not to hit a normal symbol (normal symbol determination random number generation counter). It is a random number for determining. A game control process for controlling the progress of the game, which will be described later (the game control microcomputer 560 controls itself a game device such as a variable display device, a variable winning ball device, a ball payout device, etc. provided in the gaming machine. In a process to transmit, a command signal to be controlled by another microcomputer, or a game machine control process), the count value of a random number generation counter for normal symbol determination is one round (a value that can be taken by a random number). The initial value is set in the counter.

  In the game control microcomputer 560 according to the present embodiment, hardware random numbers by a built-in random number circuit 503 are used as a jackpot determination random number generation counter. Therefore, such initial values are not set for the jackpot determination random number. However, when the game control microcomputer 560 uses a software random number as the big hit determination random number generation counter, the initial value may be set using the initial value random number as described above. . In this case, since the initial value after the jackpot determination random number generation counter advances to the maximum value becomes a random value, the same random number value as the jackpot determination value is illegally taken out and the jackpot is won. It is possible to make it difficult for an illegal act to occur.

  When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 executes the timer interrupt process of S20 to S34 shown in FIG. In the timer interrupt process, first, a power-off detection process for detecting whether or not a power-off signal is output (whether or not an on-state is turned on) is executed (S20). The power-off signal is output, for example, when the power monitoring circuit 920 mounted on the power board detects a drop in the voltage of the power supplied to the gaming machine. In the power-off detection process, when detecting that the power-off signal has been output, the CPU 56 executes a power supply stop process for saving necessary data in the backup RAM area. Next, detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, the count switch 23, and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, and 39a are input via the input driver circuit 58, A switch process for determining these states is executed (S21).

  Next, the CPU 56 includes a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b, a normal symbol display 10, a first special symbol hold storage display 18a, a second special symbol hold storage display 18b, and a normal symbol. A display control process for controlling the display of the on-hold storage display 41 is executed (S22). For the first special symbol display 8a, the second special symbol display 8b, and the normal symbol display 10, control for outputting a drive signal to each display according to the contents of the output buffer set in S32 and S33. Execute.

  Also, a determination random number update process is performed to update the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a random number for determining a normal winning symbol used for game control (S23). The CPU 56 further executes an initial value random number update process (S24) and a display random number update process (S25) for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number and the display random number.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a special symbol process (S26). In the special symbol process, corresponding processing is executed in accordance with a special symbol process flag for controlling the first special symbol indicator 8a, the second special symbol indicator 8b, and the special winning opening in a predetermined order. The CPU 56 updates the value of the special symbol process flag according to the gaming state.

  Next, the normal symbol process is performed (S27). In the normal symbol process, the CPU 56 executes the corresponding process according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 10 in a predetermined order. The CPU 56 updates the value of the normal symbol process flag according to the gaming state.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs an effect control command control process for sending an effect control command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (S28).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs an information output process for outputting data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a prize ball process for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, the count switch 23 and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a. Execute (S30). Specifically, the CPU 56 pays out in response to a winning detection based on one of the first starting port switch 13a, the second starting port switch 14a, the count switch 23 and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a being turned on. A payout control command (award ball number signal) indicating the number of winning balls is output to a payout control microcomputer mounted on the control board 37. The payout control microcomputer drives the ball payout device 97 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls.

  In this embodiment, a RAM area (output port buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port is provided. However, the CPU 56 relates to on / off of the solenoid in the RAM area corresponding to the output state of the output port. An output process for outputting the contents to the output port is executed (S31).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol display control processing for setting special symbol display control data for effect display of special symbols in an output buffer for setting special symbol display control data according to the value of the special symbol process flag ( S32). For example, if the change speed is 1 frame / 0.2 seconds until the end flag is set when the start flag set in the special symbol process is set, the CPU 56, for example, every 0.2 seconds passes. Then, the value of the display control data set in the output buffer is incremented by one. Further, the CPU 56 outputs a drive signal in S22 according to the display control data set in the output buffer, whereby the first special symbol and the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b. 2 Executes the variable display of special symbols.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a normal symbol display control process of setting normal symbol display control data for effect display of the normal symbol in the output buffer for setting the normal symbol display control data according to the value of the normal symbol process flag ( S33). For example, when the start flag related to the variation of the normal symbol is set, the CPU 56 switches the display state (“◯” and “×”) for the variation rate of the normal symbol every 0.2 seconds until the end flag is set. With such a speed, the value of the display control data set in the output buffer (for example, 1 indicating “◯” and 0 indicating “x”) is switched every 0.2 seconds. Further, the CPU 56 outputs a normal signal on the normal symbol display 10 by outputting a drive signal in S22 in accordance with the display control data set in the output buffer.

Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (S34), and the process ends.
With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 2 ms. The game control process corresponds to the processes of S21 to S33 (excluding S29) in the timer interrupt process. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the timer interrupt process. However, in the timer interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred is set, and the game control process is performed by the main process. May be executed.

  Next, effects executed in the gaming machine of this embodiment will be outlined. The production is performed by an image, light (LED or the like), a movable member, sound, or the like. The type of effect to be executed is determined by the game control microcomputer 560 or the effect control microcomputer 100.

  The effect for notifying the player of the possibility that the variation display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state or the combination of the jackpot symbol by the variation display mode of the effect symbol is called “specific effect”. The specific effect includes a slipping of a symbol, which will be described later, and a re-variation effect in a pseudo group. Further, in this embodiment, “first to fifth notice effects” in which the type of effect to be executed is determined by the effect control microcomputer 100 will be described as an effect different from the specific effect. In the first to fifth notice effects, the player is notified of the notice in a specific manner that the display result of the effect symbol is a combination of jackpot symbols.

  In FIG. 6, an example of the effect mode of the re-variation effect among the effects executed by the effect display device 9 will be described. The effect mode of the re-variation effect includes, for example, a plurality of types of effect modes shown in patterns a to d in FIGS. Each of the pattern a to pattern d is predetermined for each pseudo-continuous variation period among the notification means such as the effect display device 9, the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, the lower effect LED 85c, and the movable member 78. An example of the re-change effect executed by controlling the notification means is shown.

  In the pattern a shown in FIG. 6A, one of the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c that are lit is increased one by one during each re-variation (including the initial variation). It is controlled to go. In the temporary stop period, all LEDs (upper effect LED 85a, middle effect LED 85b, and lower effect LED 85c) may be in an unlit state. Further, during the period of re-variation (including the first-time variation), the LED may be controlled to blink, the display color may be controlled to change, or one to be lit is turned on one by one. Instead of being controlled so as to increase, it may be controlled so that what is lit among the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c is changed. FIG. 6 (A) shows an example in which two temporary stop periods are provided during one change of the production symbol, and three re-changes (including the initial change) are performed. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of temporary stops may be one or may be three or more. Further, each re-variation (including initial variation) A1, A2, A3 may be referred to as a re-variation effect of the first re-variation effect mode.

  It should be noted that the production mode (A1, B1, C1, D1 in the example shown in FIG. 6) used in the initial fluctuation of the pseudo-continuous is a fluctuation pattern that does not involve the pseudo-continuous (for example, a super-reach fluctuation pattern or a normal reach fluctuation pattern). (Fluctuation pattern) may be used as part of the production mode.

  In the pattern b shown in FIG. 6B, the movable member 78 operates during the period of each re-variation (including the initial variation). In the temporary stop period, the movable member 78 may be in a stopped state. FIG. 6B shows an example in which two temporary stop periods are provided during one fluctuation of the effect design and three re-variations (including the first fluctuation) are performed. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of temporary stops may be one or may be three or more. In addition, each re-variation (including initial variation) B1, B2, and B3 may be referred to as a re-variation effect in the second re-variation effect mode (I).

  In the pattern c shown in FIG. 6C, an image for the re-variation effect is displayed on the effect display device 9 during the period of each re-change (including the initial change). As an image for the re-variation effect, for example, a predetermined character image is included. Further, FIG. 6C shows an example in which two temporary stop periods are provided during one fluctuation of the production symbol and three re-variations (including the first fluctuation) are performed. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of temporary stops may be one or may be three or more. Each re-variation (including initial variation) C1, C2, C3 may be referred to as a re-variation effect in the second re-variation effect mode (II).

  The pattern d shown in FIG. 6D has a first re-variation effect mode and a second re-change effect mode (second re-variation) in one or more periods of a plurality of re-changes (including initial changes). This is a pattern in which an effect is executed in the effect mode (I) or the second re-variation effect mode (II), or in the second re-change effect mode (I) and the second re-change effect mode (II)). In the temporary stop period, the effects of the first re-change effect mode and the second re-change effect mode may not be executed. FIG. 6D shows an example in which two temporary stop periods are provided during one fluctuation of the effect design and three re-variations (including the first fluctuation) are performed. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of temporary stops may be one or may be three or more. Each re-variation (including initial variation) D1, D2, and D3 may be referred to as a re-variation effect in the third re-variation effect mode.

  In FIG. 6D, the “two lit” box is indicated by a broken line indicates that the effect may or may not be executed. If not executed, an effect using the LED (upper effect LED 85a, middle effect LED 85b, or lower effect LED 85c) is executed in the first change, and an effect using the movable member 78 is executed in the next change to be executed. However, the effect using the LED is not executed. As described above, when reaching the quasi-continuous, the reach state is reached at the last re-variation among the re-variations of the quasi-continuous, and the reach effect is performed.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the re-variation effect of the pattern a in the effect display device 9. In the re-change effect of pattern a, the change of the effect symbol is executed for a predetermined period after the change of the effect symbol is started from the state shown in FIG. 7A (the state in which the left, middle, and right effect symbols are stopped). (Refer to FIG. 7 (B)), when the predetermined period elapses, the left middle right effect symbol temporarily stops (see FIG. 7 (C)). In the example shown in FIG. 7, when the predetermined temporary stop period elapses, the left, middle, and right production symbols re-variate (see FIG. 7D), and reach when the predetermined re-variation period elapses (FIG. 7). 7 (E)). Thereafter, the left, middle and right effect symbols are finally stopped (confirmed). In the example shown in FIG. 7, the lower effect LED 85 c is lit during the initial variation period, and the middle effect LED 85 b and the lower effect LED 85 c are lit during the re-variation period following the initial variation. In addition, the example shown in FIG. 7 is an example when one temporary stop is performed. 7A to 7C corresponds to the period A1 shown in FIG. 6A, and the periods in FIGS. 7D to 7E correspond to those in FIG. This corresponds to the period A2. However, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the temporary stop is an example, and the reach is reached when the period A <b> 2 ends. Then, after the reach effect is executed, the left, middle, and right effect symbols are finally stopped (confirmed). Here, it has been described that the reach is reached when the re-variation effect ends, but when the re-change effect ends, the effect symbol may not reach, but may finally stop.

  In FIG. 7, among the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c, the LED displayed in black is an LED that is lit. Further, the LED in the lighting state is vibrated by vibration motors 87a, 87b, 87c (see FIG. 3). In FIG. 7, the downward arrow indicates that the effect symbol is variably displayed (varied). The same applies to FIGS. 8 to 11.

  Note that FIG. 7 shows an example in which the lower effect LED 85c is lit while all symbols are changing like the timing (B) in the period of the first change. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and during the initial fluctuation period, for example, the lower effect LED 85c may be turned on at the time of temporary stop such as the timing of (C) and at the start of re-variation such as the timing of (D). That is, the lighting timing of the upper effect LED in the pseudo-continuous may be at each temporary stop or at each re-variation.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the re-variation effect of the pattern b in the effect display device 9. In the re-variation effect of pattern b, the effect symbol variation is executed for a predetermined period after the effect symbol variation starts from the state shown in FIG. (See FIGS. 8B and 8C) When the predetermined period has elapsed, the left, middle, and right effect symbols temporarily stop (see FIG. 8D). When the predetermined temporary stop period elapses, the left, middle, and right effect symbols re-variate (see FIG. 8E), and when the predetermined re-variation period elapses, the left and right effect symbols stop and reach. (See FIG. 8F). Thereafter, after the reach effect is executed, the left, middle, and right effect symbols are finally stopped (confirmed). In the example shown in FIG. 8, the movable member 78 operates (operates so as to return to the original position (outside the display screen) after entering the display screen of the effect display device 9) during the first variation period, and the first variation occurs. The movable member 78 also operates during the subsequent re-variation period. In addition, the example shown in FIG. 8 is an example when one temporary stop is performed. 8A to 8D corresponds to the period B1 shown in FIG. 6B, and the periods shown in FIGS. 8E to 8F are shown in FIG. This corresponds to the indicated period B2. However, in the example illustrated in FIG. 8, the temporary stop is an example, and reach is reached when the period of B <b> 2 ends. Then, after the reach effect is executed, the left, middle, and right effect symbols are finally stopped (confirmed). Here, it has been described that the reach is reached when the re-variation effect ends, but when the re-change effect ends, the effect symbol may not reach, but may finally stop.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the re-variation effect of the pattern c in the effect display device 9. In the re-change effect of pattern c, the change of the effect symbol is executed for a predetermined period after the change of the effect symbol is started from the state shown in FIG. (Refer to FIG. 9 (B)), when the predetermined period elapses, the left middle right effect symbol temporarily stops (see FIG. 9 (C)). When the predetermined temporary stop period elapses, the left, middle, and right effect symbols re-variate (see FIG. 9D), and when the predetermined re-variation period elapses, the left and right effect symbols stop and reach. (See FIG. 9E). Thereafter, after the reach effect is executed, the left, middle, and right effect symbols are finally stopped (confirmed). In the example shown in FIG. 9, the specific character image 79a is displayed on the effect display device 9 during the first variation period, and the specific character image 79b (related to the specific character image 79a is associated with the re-variation period following the first variation. An image that the player feels as if the effect has developed is displayed on the effect display device 9. In addition, the example shown in FIG. 9 is an example when one temporary stop is performed. 9A to 9C corresponds to the period C1 shown in FIG. 6C, and the periods in FIGS. 9D to 9E correspond to those in FIG. It corresponds to the period of C2 shown. However, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the temporary stop is an example, and reach is reached when the period of C2 ends. Then, after the reach effect is executed, the left, middle, and right effect symbols are finally stopped (confirmed). Here, it has been described that the reach is reached when the re-variation effect ends, but when the re-change effect ends, the effect symbol may not reach, but may finally stop.

  10 and 11 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the re-variation effect of the pattern d in the effect display device 9. In the re-variation effect of pattern a, the effect symbol variation is executed for a predetermined period after the effect symbol variation starts from the state shown in FIG. (See FIG. 10 (B)), when the predetermined period elapses, the left, middle, and right effect symbols temporarily stop (see FIG. 10 (C)). When the predetermined temporary stop period elapses, the left, middle, and right production symbols re-variate (see FIGS. 10D and 10E), and when the predetermined re-variation period elapses, the left, middle, and right production symbols appear. Temporarily stop again (see FIG. 10F). When the predetermined temporary stop period elapses, the left, middle, and right production symbols re-variate (see FIG. 11G), and reach when the predetermined re-variation period elapses (see FIG. 11H). . Then, after the reach effect is executed, the left, middle, and right effect symbols are finally stopped (confirmed). In the example shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the lower effect LED 85 c is lit during the initial variation period, and during the re-variation period following the initial variation, the middle effect LED 85 b and the lower effect LED 85 c are lit, and the movable member 78 operates. . Further, during the subsequent re-variation period, the movable member 78 operates and the player feels as if the specific character image 79c (the image related to the specific character images 79a and 79b is further developed. Is displayed on the effect display device 9. Note that the examples shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 are examples in which two temporary stops are performed. 10A to 10C corresponds to the period D1 shown in FIG. 6D, and the periods in FIGS. 10D to 10F correspond to those in FIG. It corresponds to the period of D2 shown. Further, the period from FIG. 11G to FIG. 11H corresponds to the period D3 shown in FIG.

  In FIGS. 10 and 11, the LED displayed in black among the upper effect LED 85 a, the middle effect LED 85 b, and the lower effect LED 85 c is an LED that is lit. Further, the LED in the lighting state is vibrated by vibration motors 87a, 87b, 87c (see FIG. 3).

  As illustrated in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, after the initial variation (see FIGS. 10A to 10C) constituting the pattern a is executed, the re-variation (see FIG. D) to (F)) are executed. That is, it is possible to execute the second re-variation effect (for example, the pattern b) after executing the first re-change effect (for example, the pattern a). In the example shown in FIG. 10, the re-variation (revariation accompanied by the lighting of the LED) constituting pattern a is also performed when re-variation (see FIGS. 10D to 10F) constituting pattern b is executed. ) Is executed, but when the re-variation that constitutes the pattern b (see FIGS. 10D to 10F) is executed, the re-variation that constitutes the pattern a (re-variation accompanying the lighting of the LED) May not be executed. Moreover, what combined the re-variation which comprises the pattern a as shown to FIG.10 (D)-(F), and the re-variation which comprises the pattern b can also be regarded as a 2nd re-change effect. That is, it can be understood that any two re-variation effects having different aspects of the effect correspond to the first re-change effect and the second re-change effect.

  Further, the re-variation constituting the pattern a is regarded as the first re-variation, the re-variation constituting the pattern different from the pattern a (pattern b in this example) is regarded as the second re-variation, and the re-variation constituting the pattern a is considered. A combination of the fluctuation and the re-variation constituting the pattern different from the pattern a (in this example, the pattern b) can be regarded as the third re-variation. In such a case, it is possible to execute the third re-change effect after executing the first re-change effect or the second re-change effect.

  Note that, as described above, in the example illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 11, it is assumed that reach is reached when the re-variation effect ends, but when the re-change effect ends, the effect symbol becomes reach. There may be a final stop.

  Further, in the above example, the non-specific display result (a combination of effect symbols that does not evoke a big hit) is generated from the start of the variable display of the identification information (here, the effect symbol) until the display result is derived and displayed. A plurality of types of re-variation effects in a re-variation display pattern in which re-variation is performed once or a plurality of times after the identification information is temporarily stopped and then the variation display is performed again for all the identification information (that is, a notification effect for informing the re-variation) ), The effect form using the light emitter (upper effect LED 85a, middle effect LED 85b and lower effect LED 85c), the movable member 78, and the specific character images 79a, 79b, 79c is exemplified, but other effect aspects are used. Also good. For example, a difference in the output of sound or sound effect from the speaker 27, a difference in motion of the effect target (for example, the movable member 78) (difference in operating speed, difference in operating distance, difference in operating direction, etc.), effect display device The effect of the re-variation effect is changed depending on the difference in the motion of the character image displayed on the screen 9 (the difference in the operation speed, the difference in the operation distance, the difference in the operation direction, etc.). Or the background image may be changed to change the effect of the re-variation effect.

  In the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, after a predetermined time (variation time) has elapsed after the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) is started to be displayed, the special symbol is displayed. The stop symbol that is the result of symbol variation display is stopped (displayed). If it is decided to win, a special special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed. When it is decided to make a small hit, a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. If it is determined to be off, special symbols other than the big hit symbol and the small hit symbol are stopped and displayed. When the big hit symbol is derived and displayed, the gaming state is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the specific gaming state. Further, when the small hit symbol is derived and displayed, the small hit game state different from the big hit game state is controlled. In this embodiment, as an example, the numbers indicating “1”, “3”, and “7” are big hit symbols, the numbers indicating “5” are small hit symbols, and the symbol indicating “−” is an off symbol. To do.

  In this embodiment, among the special symbols indicating the numbers “1”, “3”, and “7” that are the jackpot symbols, the special symbols indicating the numbers “3” and “7” are the 15 round jackpot symbols. . The special symbol indicating the number “1” is made a big hit symbol for two rounds. When the 15-round big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 8, the opening / closing plate in the variable winning ball apparatus 20 has a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls. During the period until the occurrence, a round in which the variable winning ball apparatus 20 is changed to the first state advantageous to the player is started. In the 15 round big hit state, the number of rounds is the first number (for example, 15). Hereinafter, the jackpot gaming state in which the number of rounds is the first number is also referred to as 15 rounds jackpot state.

  Also, when the two round big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the big hit gaming state in which the number of rounds is the second number (for example, “2”). Transition to (2 round big hit state). Further, in the 2 round big hit state, the period of each round becomes a second period (for example, 0.5 seconds) shorter than the first period in the 15 round big hit state. In the 2 round big hit state, the number of executions of the round is a second number (for example, “2”) that is smaller than the first number in the 15 round big hit state. In the two-round big hit state, at least one of the period in which the winning opening is opened in each round is the second period and the number of executions of the round is the second number is performed. It suffices to be controlled. In the two-round big hit state, the predetermined winning ball apparatus provided separately from the variable winning ball apparatus 20 in each round is changed from the second state which is disadvantageous to the player to the first state which is advantageous to the player. The second state may be restored after a predetermined period (first period or second period) has elapsed.

  In addition, after the big hit gaming state is finished, the gaming state is controlled to the short time state. In the short time state, the variation time of the special symbol in the variation display of the special symbol is shortened as compared with the normal state (the state which is not the probability variation state or the short time state). In the short-time state, for example, either a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of special symbol variation display is executed and the variation display result is “big hit”, either condition is satisfied first. When it ends. In addition, after the big hit state is ended, the normal state may be set instead of the time reduction state.

  When it is determined to control the gaming state to the probability changing state, the gaming state is controlled to the probability changing state after the big hit gaming state ends. The probability variation state continues until, for example, a jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a variation display result. A special symbol stop symbol derived and displayed when it is determined to control the gaming state to the big hit gaming state is referred to as a big hit symbol. The special symbol stop symbol that is derived and displayed when it is determined not to control the gaming state to the big hit state is referred to as an outlier symbol.

  Even after the two-round big hit state is over, the gaming state is controlled to the probability change state (high probability state). The probability variation state controlled after the end of the two round big hit state is also referred to as a sudden probability variation (surprise) state.

  When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the gaming state is controlled to a small hit gaming state different from the big hit gaming state. In the small hit gaming state, as in the two round big hit state, the open / close plate in the variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened for the second period (for example, 0.5 seconds), and the big winning opening is opened. The number of rounds is the second number (for example, 2). However, unlike the two round big hit state, the gaming state is not changed. That is, the gaming state before being controlled to the small hit gaming state continues. However, when it is decided to end the probability change state or the time-short state, the gaming state is controlled to the normal state after the small hit gaming state is ended. When the winning ball apparatus provided separately from the variable winning ball apparatus 20 in each round in the two round big hit state is changed to the first state, the small hit gaming state is the same as in the two round big hit state. Then, the winning ball apparatus is changed to the first state.

  Further, in the probability variation state, the probability of determining a big hit is higher than in the low probability state (normal state). For example, it is 10 times. Specifically, in the probability variation state, the number of determination values determined to be a big hit when it matches the value of the random number for jackpot determination is 10 times that in the normal state. In addition, the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased. That is, the start winning opening 13 is easily opened, and the start winning is likely to occur. Specifically, in the probability variation state, the number of determination values determined to be a hit when it matches the value of the random number for determination per normal symbol is larger than that in the normal state. Further, in addition to increasing the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol, the number of opening or the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 is increased, or the number of opening and the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 is increased. You may increase. Even in the short-time state, the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, the number of opening or the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 is increased, and the number of opening and opening of the variable winning ball device 15 is increased. You may spend more time. In this embodiment, in the probability variation state, in addition to an increase in the probability that the big symbol is determined, an example in which the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased is shown. However, in the probability variation state, it is sufficient that at least the probability of being determined as a big hit is high.

  In the probability variation state, in addition to increasing the probability of determining the big hit, the control for shortening the variation time of the normal symbol and the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 are prolonged (lengthened) than usual. ) Any one of the control and the control that increases the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol becomes a winning symbol, the control that combines any two, and the control that combines all the two You may make it perform. In the short time state (short time for special symbols), control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, control for extending the opening time of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 (longer) than usual, and control for the normal symbol Of the control for increasing the probability that the stop symbol becomes a winning symbol, at least the control for reducing the variation time of the normal symbol than that of the normal symbol may be executed.

  In the display area of the effect display device 9, the effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner in response to the special symbol change display by the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b. That is, in the display area of the effect display device 9, based on the fact that the start condition is satisfied, the variation of the effect symbols is started in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R. For example, the stop symbols of the effect symbols are stopped and displayed (derived display) in the order of “left” → “right” → “middle”. In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, the effect symbols may be stopped and displayed in a predetermined order, or “left”, “middle”, and “right” The stop symbols may be stopped and displayed simultaneously in the symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R.

  The period from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol until the stop symbol is derived and displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, 9R (variable display period = variable time) Thus, the variation display state of the effect symbol may become a predetermined reach state. The reach state is a display state in which the variation of the effect symbols that are not yet stopped when the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 9 constitute a part of the jackpot combination, or This is a display state in which all or part of the design symbols change synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. The display effect in the reach state is reach effect display (reach effect).

  In addition, during the variation display of the production symbol, unlike the reach production, it is possible that the variation display state of the production symbol may become the reach state, and that the variation display result may be a big hit symbol. There may be a case where a specific effect for informing the player is made depending on the display pattern variation. In this embodiment, specific effects such as “slip” and “pseudo-run” can be executed.

  In the “slip” specific effect, the effect symbols are changed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, and then two or more symbol display areas (for example, “left”) are displayed. And the “right” symbol display areas 9L and 9R), after a temporary stop display of the effect symbols, a predetermined number (for example, “1” or “2”) of the symbol display areas in the temporarily stopped display (For example, one or both of the “left” symbol display area 9 </ b> L and the “right” symbol display area 9 </ b> R) and the effect symbols to be stopped are displayed after being changed again, thereby changing the effect symbols to be stopped and displayed. An effect display is performed. In addition, by notifying the player that the effect symbol that has been stopped and displayed is not finalized (final stop), such as by displaying fluctuation fluctuation in the temporary stop display, or by changing the effect symbol again after a short temporary stop. Is preferred. In addition, the effect design may be re-variable after the effect design is temporarily stopped to the extent that the player recognizes that the stop-displayed effect design has been confirmed.

  As described above, in the special effect of “pseudo-continuous”, the symbol display areas 9L and 9C for “left”, “middle”, and “right” are displayed based on the fact that the start condition of the special symbol variation display is satisfied once. , After changing the effect symbol in 9R, temporarily rendering the effect symbol in all symbol display areas 9L, 9C, 9R, then changing the effect symbol in all symbol display areas 9L, 9C, 9R again (pseudo) The effect display to be continuously changed) is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, up to three times).

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing pseudo consecutive chances. In the “pseudo-ream” specific effect, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9, the pseudo-near chances GC1 to GC8 shown in FIG. The effect symbols constituting any of the above are temporarily stopped and displayed. The “left symbol” is an effect symbol displayed (stop display or temporary stop display) in the “left” symbol display area 9L, and the “middle symbol” is an effect symbol displayed in the “medium” symbol display area 9C. The “right symbol” is an effect symbol displayed in the “right” symbol display area 9R. The pseudo consecutive chances GC1 to GC8 may be determined in advance as a combination of effect symbols included in the special combination.

  When the shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the effect display device 9, the change display state of the effect symbol is displayed after the effect symbol change display is started. There may be a case where a predetermined combination of effect symbols that does not reach reach is stopped and displayed without reaching the reach state. Such a variation display mode of the effect symbol is referred to as a “non-reach” (also referred to as “normal shift”) variation display mode in a case where the variation display result is a loss symbol.

  When the shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the effect display device 9, the change display state of the effect symbol is displayed after the effect symbol change display is started. Depending on the reach state, after the reach effect is executed, or the reach effect is not executed, a combination of predetermined effect symbols that will reach may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display result of the effect symbol is referred to as a variation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach disengagement”) when the variation display result is “out of”.

  In this embodiment, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the reach effect is executed after the variation display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state. Or the reach effect is not executed, and the effect symbols are all stopped and displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R on the effect display device 9.

  When “5”, which is a small hit symbol, is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the variation display mode of the production symbol is “accurate” in the production display device 9. After the effect symbols are displayed in the same manner as in some cases, a predetermined non-reach combination (for example, the stop symbols in the “left” and “right” symbol display areas 9L and 9R do not match). In some cases, a stop symbol that is displayed is stopped or a stop symbol that is a predetermined reach combination is stopped. The display effect on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the fact that “5”, which is the small hit symbol, is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol indicator 8b, is referred to as a “small hit” variable display mode. .

  FIG. 13 shows the variation of the effect symbols prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach” and the case where it is “reach” when the variation display result is an out-of-order symbol. It is explanatory drawing which shows a pattern. As shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, non-reach PA1-1 to non-reach PA1-5 and non-reach PB1- are used as the variation patterns corresponding to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach”. 1 and non-reach PB1-2, non-reach PC1-1 and non-reach PC1-2 variation patterns are prepared. In addition, as variation patterns corresponding to the case where the display pattern variation display mode is “reach”, normal PA2-1 to normal PA2-4, super PA3-1 to super PA3-6, super PB3-1 to super PB3— 3. Fluctuation patterns of Super PC 3-1 to Super PC 3-4 are prepared.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram exemplifying a variation pattern of a production symbol prepared in advance corresponding to a case where the variation display result is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol. As shown in FIG. 14, in this embodiment, normal PA2-5 to normal PA2-8 and super PA4-1 are used as variation patterns corresponding to the case where the special symbol variation display result is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol. ~ Super PA4-6, Super PA5-1 to Super PA5-3, Super PB4-1 to Super PB4-3, Super PB5-1 to Super PB5-3, Super PD1-1 and Super PD1-2, Super PE1-1 Also, variation patterns of super PE1-2, special PG1-1 to special PG1-3, special PG2-1 to special PG2-3 are prepared.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing each random number. Each random number is used as follows.
(2-1) Random 2-1 (MR2-1): Determine the type of jackpot (probability big hit, sudden probability change big hit, normal big hit) (for big hit type judgment)
(2-2) Random 2-2 (MR2-2): Determines whether or not to reach (for reach determination)
(3) Random 3 (MR3): The type (type) of the variation pattern is determined (for variation pattern type determination)
(4) Random 4 (MR4): A variation pattern (variation time) is determined (for variation pattern determination)
(5) Random 5 (MR5): Determines whether or not to generate a hit based on a normal symbol (for normal symbol hit determination)
(6) Random 6 (MR6): Determine the initial value of random 5 (for determining the initial value of random 5)
(7) Random 7 (MR7): A re-variation effect pattern to be executed during the pseudo-continuation is determined (for determining the pseudo-continuous pattern).

  In S23 in the game control process shown in FIG. 5, the game control microcomputer 560 generates a (2-1) big hit type determination random number and (5) a normal symbol per determination random number. Count up (add 1). That is, they are determination random numbers, and other random numbers are display random numbers (random 2-2, random 3, random 4, random 7) or initial value random numbers (random 6). In addition, in order to improve a game effect, you may use random numbers other than said random number. In this embodiment, a random number generated by hardware incorporated in the game control microcomputer 560 (or hardware external to the game control microcomputer 560) is used as the jackpot determination random number. In addition, for the big hit type determination random number, an initial value may be set using the initial value random number as described above. In this case, since the initial value after the big hit type determination random number generation counter advances to the maximum value becomes a random value, the same random number value as the probable big hit type determination value is illegally targeted. Thus, it is possible to make it difficult for a fraudulent act that causes a jackpot of a certain type to be taken out.

  FIGS. 16A and 16B are explanatory diagrams showing a jackpot determination table. The jackpot determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 54 and is a table in which a jackpot determination value to be compared with the random R is set. The jackpot determination table includes a normal-time jackpot determination table used in a normal state (a gaming state that is not a probability change state) and a probability change jackpot determination table used in a probability change state. Each numerical value described in the left column of FIG. 16 (A) and each numerical value described in FIG. 16 (B) are set in the normal time big hit determination table. Each numerical value described in the right column of (A) and each numerical value described in FIG. 16 (B) are set. The numerical values described in FIGS. 16A and 16B are the big hit determination value or the small hit determination value. Hereinafter, the big hit determination value and the small hit determination value may be collectively expressed as “big hit determination value”.

  The CPU 56 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 503 at a predetermined time and uses the extracted value as the value of the jackpot determination random number (random R). If it matches any of the big hit judgment values shown in B), it is decided to make a big hit (probability big hit, normal big hit or sudden big hit) or small hit for the special symbol. The “probability” shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B indicates the probability (ratio) of big hit or small hit. In addition, determining whether to make a big hit or a small hit means determining whether to shift to the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. It may also be determined whether the stop symbol in the symbol display 8b is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol.

  FIG. 16C is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot type determination table 131 stored in the ROM 54. The jackpot type determination table 131 sets the jackpot type to “normal jackpot”, “based on the random number for determining the jackpot type (random 2-1), when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot symbol. This table is referred to in order to determine either “probable big hit” or “surprise big hit”. The big hit type determination table 131 is a numerical value to be compared with a random 2-1 value, which is a decision value corresponding to each of “normal big hit”, “probability variation big hit”, and “crash big hit” (big hit type judgment value) Is set. When the random value 2-1 matches any of the jackpot type determination values, the CPU 56 determines the jackpot type as a type corresponding to the matched jackpot type determination value.

  FIGS. 17A to 17F and FIG. 18G are explanatory diagrams showing the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132A to 132G. The jackpot variation pattern type determination tables 132A to 132G, when it is determined that the variation display result is a jackpot symbol, according to the determination result of the jackpot type, the variation pattern type is determined as a random number for variation pattern type determination. It is a table referred to in order to determine any of a plurality of types based on (Random 3). Each of the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132A to 132G is selected according to a table selection rule as shown in FIG. In other words, the game state is selected according to whether the game state is the normal state, the probability variation state, or the short time state, and the determination result of the jackpot type.

  In each of the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132A to 132G, a random number (random 3) for determining the fluctuation pattern type is determined depending on whether the determination result of the big hit type is “normal”, “probability variation”, or “probability”. ) And a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with normal CA3-1, super CA3-2 to super CA3-6, super CB3-1, super CB3-2, special CA4-1, and special CA4-2. A determination value corresponding to one of the variation pattern types of special CB4-1, special CB4-2, special CC4-1, and special CC4-2 is set.

  For example, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state, the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132A shown in FIG. The allocation of determination values for the variation pattern types of normal CA3-1 and super CA3-2 is different from the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132B shown in FIG. In the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132A, a determination value is assigned to the variation pattern type of the super CA 3-3, and in the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132B, the variation value type of the super CA 3-3 is determined. Judgment value is not assigned. In the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132A, no determination value is assigned to the variation pattern type of the super CA 3-4, and in the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132B, the variation value type of the super CA 3-4 is determined. Judgment value is assigned.

  As described above, when the gaming state is one of the normal state, the probability variation state, and the short-time state, the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132A to 132C selected according to the big hit type in the gaming state (when in the normal state) When the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132D to 132F (selected when the probability variation state is selected) and the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132A, 132B and 132G (selected during the short time state) are compared, Accordingly, the determination value is assigned to each variation pattern type differently. Also, determination values are assigned to different variation pattern types depending on the jackpot type. Therefore, different variation pattern types can be determined according to the determination result of whether the jackpot type is a plurality of types, and the ratio determined for the same variation pattern type can be varied.

  Further, in the big hit variation pattern type judgment tables 132C, 132F, 132G used when the big hit type is “surprise”, for example, special CA4-1, special CA4-2, special CB4-1, special CB4-2, When the big hit type such as special CC4-1 or special CC4-2 is other than “surprise”, the determination value is assigned to the variation pattern type to which the determination value is not assigned. Therefore, when controlling to the 2 round big hit state according to the fact that the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” and the big hit type becomes “surprising”, the fluctuation pattern type different from the case of controlling to the 15 round big hit state is determined. be able to.

  When the big hit type is determined to be “normal”, the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132A shown in FIG. 17A used when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state or the short-time state. With the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132E shown in FIG. 17D used when the gaming state is a probable variation state, the determination values are assigned to the variation pattern types of normal CA3-1 and super CA3-2. Is different. In the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132A, a determination value is assigned to the variation pattern type of the super CA3-3, and in the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132D, a determination value is assigned to the variation pattern type of the super CA3-3. It is not done. As described above, when the big hit type is determined to be “normal”, “probability change”, or “surprise change”, the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132A and 132D (“normal”) selected according to the gaming state. ), The big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132B and 132E (selected when “probability change”), and the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132C, 132F and 132G (selected when “probability”) are compared. Depending on whether the gaming state is a normal state, a short-time state, or a probable variation state, the determination value is assigned to each variation pattern type differently. In addition, a determination value may be assigned to a different variation pattern type depending on the gaming state. Therefore, it is possible to determine different variation pattern types depending on whether the gaming state is a normal state, a short-time state or a probable variation state, and the ratio determined for the same variation pattern type can be varied. it can.

  FIGS. 19A to 19C are explanatory diagrams showing variation patterns type determination tables 133A to 133C for small hits stored in the ROM 54. FIG. The small hit variation pattern type determination tables 133A to 133C indicate that when it is determined that the variation display result is a small hit symbol, the variation pattern type is determined based on the random number (random 3) for variation pattern type determination. It is a table referred to in order to determine any of a plurality of types. Each of the small hit variation pattern type determination tables 133A to 133C is selected, for example, according to a table selection rule as shown in FIG. That is, the game state is selected according to whether it is a normal state, a probability change state, or a time-short state. Each of the small hit variation pattern type determination tables 133A to 133C is a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 3) value for variation pattern type determination, and includes special CA4-1, special CB4-1, The judgment value corresponding to one of the variation pattern types of the special CC4-1 is included.

  The variation pattern type of the special CA4-1 to which the determination value is assigned in the small hit variation pattern type determination table 133A shown in FIG. 19A is the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132C shown in FIG. Is also assigned a decision value. The variation pattern type of the special CB4-1 to which the determination value is assigned in the small hit variation pattern type determination table 133B shown in FIG. 19B is the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132F shown in FIG. Is also assigned a decision value. The variation pattern type of the special CC 4-1 to which the determination value is assigned in the small hit variation pattern type determination table 133C shown in FIG. 19C is the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132G shown in FIG. Is also assigned a decision value. As described above, the variation pattern types of the special CA 4-1, the special CB 4-1, and the special CC 4-1 are common variations in the case where the big hit type is “surprise” and the case where the fluctuation display result is “small hit”. It is a pattern type. That is, the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132C shown in FIG. 17 (C), the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132F shown in FIG. 17 (F), and FIG. The big hit variation pattern type determination table 132G shown in G) is set so as to include a variation pattern type common to the variation pattern type determined when the variation display result is “small hit”.

  20A to 20C are explanatory diagrams showing reach determination tables 134A to 134C stored in the ROM 54. FIG. The reach determination tables 134A to 134C indicate whether or not the variation display state of the effect symbol is set to the reach state when it is determined that the variation display result is “off”. -2) is a table that is referred to for determination based on (2). Reach determination tables 134A to 134C are selected according to a table selection rule as shown in FIG.

The deviation variation pattern determination tables 138A and 138B determine the variation pattern according to whether or not to reach the reach state and the determination result of the variation pattern type when it is determined that the variation display result is “out of range”. This is a table that is referred to in order to determine a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types based on a random number (random 4). Each deviation variation pattern determination table 138A, 138B is selected as a usage table according to the determination result of the variation pattern type. That is, the determination result that the variation pattern type is any one of non-reach CA1-1 to non-reach CA1-4, non-reach CB1-1 to non-reach CB1-3, non-reach CC1-1 to non-reach CC1-3. Accordingly, the deviation variation pattern determination table 138A is selected as the usage table, and the variation pattern type is any one of normal CA2-1, super CA2-2, super CA2-3, super CB2-1, and super CB2-2. Depending on the determination result, the deviation variation pattern determination table 138B is selected as the usage table.

And the data (determination value) for determining one of a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the case where the variation display mode is “reach”.

  In the deviation variation pattern determination table 138A shown in FIG. 25, non-reach PA1-4 to non-reach PA1-5 corresponding to the case of non-reach variation pattern types such as non-reach CA1-4 and non-reach CC1-3. A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the value of the random number (random 4) for determining the variation pattern is assigned to the variation pattern (see FIG. 13) for executing the specific effect. With such a setting, non-reach PA1-4 to non-reach corresponds to the determination that the variation display result of the effect symbol is “out” and the determination that the variation display state of the effect symbol is not the reach state. Make a decision to make one of the fluctuation patterns of reach PA1-5 and execute a specific effect (effect of non-reach PA1-4 ("slip") or effect of non-reach PA1-5 ("pseudo-run")). Can do.

  Also, it is assigned to the fluctuation pattern of non-reach PB1-1 corresponding to the fluctuation pattern type of non-reach CB1-1, and assigned to the fluctuation pattern of non-reach PB1-2 corresponding to the fluctuation pattern type of non-reach CB1-2. It has been.

  Then, for a variation pattern type of non-reach CA1-4 including non-reach PA 1-5, a random number (random 3 for determining the variation pattern type) in non-reach variation pattern type determination table 136A shown in FIG. ), A determination value in the range of “217” to “241” is assigned to the non-reach HA 1-1, and “230” is assigned to the non-reach HA 1-2. ”To“ 241 ”is assigned, determination values in the range of“ 231 ”to“ 241 ”are assigned to the non-reach HA1-3, and“ 237 ”to the non-reach HA1-4. A judgment value in the range of “241” is assigned, and a judgment value in the range of “237” to “241” is assigned to the non-reach HA 1-5. Further, for the non-reach HA 1-1, the reach determination random number (random 2-2) corresponding to the case where the number of reserved storage is “0” in the reach determination table 134A shown in FIG. A determination value in the range of “1” to “204” is assigned. For the non-reach HA1-2, in the reach determination table 134A, the reserved storage number corresponds to “1” and is a numerical value (determination value) that is compared with the value of the random number for determination of reach (random 2-2). Thus, determination values in the range of “1” to “217” are assigned. For the non-reach HA1-3, in the reach determination table 134A, the reserved storage number corresponds to “2” and is a numerical value (determination value) that is compared with the value of the random number for reach determination (random 2-2). Thus, determination values in the range of “1” to “220” are assigned. For the non-reach HA1-4, in the reach determination table 134A, the numbers to be compared with the values of the random numbers for reach determination (random 2-2) corresponding to the numbers of reserved storage “3” and “4” ( Determination value) and a determination value in the range of “1” to “230” is assigned, and the non-reach HA1-4 has a storage number “5” to “8” in the reach determination table 134A. Corresponding to the random number (random 2-2) for reach determination, a determination value in the range of “1” to “235” is assigned. Therefore, when the number of reserved memories is “1” or “2”, the ratio determined as the variation pattern type of non-reach CA1-4 is lower than when the number of reserved memories is “0”. . Further, when the reserved storage number is “3” or “4”, the non-reach CA1-4 is compared to the case where the reserved storage number is “0” or “1” or “2”. The ratio determined for the variation pattern type becomes lower. Further, when the number of reserved memories is “5” to “8”, non-reach PA 1-5 (including “pseudo-continuous”) is compared with the case where the number of reserved memories is “0” to “4”. The ratio determined for the variation pattern type of non-reach CA1-4 including the lower becomes lower.

  Further, for the variation pattern types of the non-reach CC1-3 including the non-reach PA1-5, in the variation pattern type determination table 136C for non-reach shown in FIG. ) Is a numerical value (determination value) that is compared with the non-reach HC1-1, a determination value in the range of “234” to “241” is assigned to the non-reach HC1-2, and “235” is assigned to the non-reach HC1-2. ”To“ 241 ”is assigned. In addition, for the non-reach HC1-2, in the reach determination table 134C shown in FIG. 20C, when the number of reserved memories is “2” or more, the number of reserved memories is “0” or “1”. In some cases, a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the value of the random number for reach determination (random 2-2) is assigned a determination value in the range of “1” to “231”. Since the number of determination values assigned to non-reach HC1-2 is smaller than that for non-reach HC1-1, if the number of reserved memories is “2” or more, the number of reserved memories is “0” or Compared to the case of “1”, the ratio determined for the variation pattern type of non-reach CC1-3 including non-reach PA1-5 (including “pseudo-continuous”) is lower.

  Note that when the deviation variation pattern determination table 138B illustrated in FIG. 25 is used, only non-reach PA1-5 can be selected as a variation pattern including “pseudo-continuous”, but a plurality of types including “pseudo-continuous” can be selected. The shift variation pattern determination table 138B may be configured so that the variation pattern can be selected.

  In the variation pattern illustrated in FIG. 13, the variation time of the special symbol in the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-1 in which the specific effect is not executed is 5.75 seconds, and the variation time of the special symbol in the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-2. Is 3.75 seconds, and the variation time of the special symbol in the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-3 is 1.50 seconds. On the other hand, the variation time of the special symbol in the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4 in which the “slip” specific effect is executed is 8.25 seconds, and the non-reach in which the “pseudo-continuous” specific effect is executed. The variation time of the special symbol in the variation pattern of PA1-5 is 16.70 seconds. That is, the variation time of the special symbol in the variation pattern in which the specific effect is executed corresponding to “non-reach” is longer than the variation time of the special symbol in the variation pattern in which the specific effect is not executed. When the number of reserved memories is “1” or more, the ratio determined as the variation pattern type of the non-reach CA 1-4 that executes the specific effect is lower than when it is “0”. In addition, when the number of reserved storage is “3” or more, the ratio determined as the variation pattern type of non-reach CA1-4 is lower than when the number is less than “3”. Therefore, when the number of reserved memories is greater than or equal to the predetermined number, the variation time can be shortened on average compared to when the number is less than the predetermined number.

  In the deviation variation pattern determination table 138B shown in FIG. 26, the variation pattern for executing the “normal” reach effect such as normal PA2-1 to normal PA2-4 corresponding to the variation pattern type of normal CA2-1. A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 4) value for variation pattern determination is assigned. Corresponding to the case of the change pattern type of super CA2-2, the change pattern for executing reach effect α1 such as super PA3-1 to super PA3-3, or the reach effect such as super PA3-4 to super PA3-6. A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 4) for determining the variation pattern is assigned to the variation pattern for executing α2. Corresponding to the case where the variation pattern type is super CA2-3 or super CB2-1, random numbers for variation pattern determination (random 4 ) Is assigned a numerical value (judgment value) to be compared.

  Further, for example, with respect to a variation pattern for executing a “pseudo-continuous” specific effect, such as a super-PA 3-3, super-PA 3-6, and super-PB 3-3 variation pattern, an effect design is performed after the quasi-continuous variation is performed. The variation pattern type is classified according to the type of effect operation in the reach effect that is executed based on the fact that the variation display state becomes the reach state. In other words, since the fluctuation pattern of the super PA 3-3 is a fluctuation pattern for executing the reach effect α1, this corresponds to the case where the fluctuation pattern type of the super CA 2-2 in the deviation fluctuation pattern determination table 138B shown in FIG. Thus, a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random number (random 4) value for variation pattern determination is assigned. Since the variation pattern of the super PA 3-6 is a variation pattern for executing the reach effect α2, the variation pattern determination table 138B corresponds to the variation pattern type of the super CA 2-2 in the variation pattern determination table 138B. A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 4) value is assigned. Since the variation pattern of the super PB3-3 is a variation pattern for executing the reach effect β1, the variation pattern type of the super CA2-3 or the super CB2-1 in the outlier variation pattern determination table 138B corresponds to the variation pattern type. A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the value of the random number (random 4) for determining the variation pattern is assigned.

  28 and 29 are explanatory diagrams showing pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination tables 139A and 139B for determining the effect pattern of the re-variation effect stored in the ROM 54. With reference to FIGS. 28 and 29, game control microcomputer 560 performs processing for determining the effect mode of the re-change effect.

Each of the ratio and the three re-change effects (including the first change effect) is different (for example, (A, AB, ABC), the first change effect is the A effect, and the re-change Out a combination of the effect of directing and B of A, effect and to have) the ratio different to a combination of the effect of C rendition and B of the next re-variation effect is A is higher. Therefore, by executing an effect in which the two re-change effects are different or the three re-change effects are different, the player can have a sense of expectation for the occurrence of the big hit.

  In other words, as shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, for the group of non-reach PA1-5, super PA3-3, super PA3-6, and super PB3-3 that can be selected in the case of not hitting the jackpot, The group of super PA4-3, super PA4-6, super PA5-3, super PB4-3, super PB5-3, and special PG1-3 that can be selected in the case of AB, AC, BC, ABC There is a high probability that a combination of re-variation effects in different modes will appear. Therefore, the player can have a sense of expectation for the occurrence of the big hit by executing the effect in which the different variation effects are combined.

  In the case of a normal big hit, the fluctuation pattern type is determined based on the big hit fluctuation pattern determination tables 132A and 132D shown in FIG. 17, and the hit fluctuation pattern determination table 137A shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. Since the variation pattern is determined based on ˜137C, the super PA 4-3, the super PA 4-6, and the super PB 4-3 can be selected as the variation pattern accompanied by the re-variation effect of the “pseudo-continuous”. In the case of a promising big hit, the fluctuation pattern type is determined based on the big hit fluctuation pattern determination tables 132B and 132E shown in FIG. 17, and the hit fluctuation pattern determination tables 137A to 137C shown in FIGS. Therefore, in addition to Super PA4-3, Super PA4-6, and Super PB4-3, Super PA5-3 and Super P54 are used as the fluctuation patterns with the revariation effect of “pseudo-continuous”. PB5-3 may be selected.

  In Super PA 5-3 and Super PB 5-3 that can be selected only when the probability variation is a big hit, the number of judgment values corresponding to combinations of re-variation effects of different modes such as AB, BC, and ABC becomes larger. ing. That is, in the case of a probable big hit, there is a high probability that a combination of re-variation effects of different modes such as AB, BC, ABC will appear.

  Therefore, the player can have a sense of expectation for the occurrence of the probable big hit by executing the effect in which the re-variation effects of different modes are combined.

  Also, referring to FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the fluctuation pattern that can be selected in the case of not hitting the jackpot (the total number of fluctuations including initial fluctuation and subsequent re-variation) is as follows. It is as follows. Non-reach PA1-5 is 2 times, Super PA3-3 is 2 times, Super PA3-6 is 3 times, and Super PB3-3 is 3 times. On the other hand, referring to FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, the number of pseudo-series fluctuations of the pseudo-series in the variation pattern that can be selected when the jackpot is as follows. Super PA4-3 is 2 times, Super PA4-6 is 3 times, Super PA5-3 is 3 times, Super PB4-3 is 2 times, Super PB5-3 is 3 times, Special PG1-3 is 3 times. As shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, 28, and 29, regarding the selection determination of the pseudo continuous variation frequency, when it is determined to be a big hit, it is determined to be out of place It is set to increase the number of times compared to. As a result, the greater the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations, the higher the reliability that is a big hit.

  For PA5-3 and PB5-3 used when the probability variation is a big hit, the number of times of pseudo-continuous execution (for example, up to 3 times) is executed more than the number of times of pseudo-variation fluctuation (for example, up to 3 times) of other fluctuation patterns. Then, it may be controlled so that the probability variation big hit is determined when the variation corresponding to the number of times of the pseudo continuous variation is performed. For PA5-3 and PB5-3, the number of pseudo-continuations more than the number of pseudo-continuous fluctuations (for example, 3 times at the maximum) of other fluctuation patterns is executed (for example, 5 times), and the first number (for example, (4 times) is determined to reach when the change is performed, and control is performed to determine that the probability variation big hit is determined when the second number of times (for example, 5 times) of change is performed. May be.

  In this embodiment, the game control microcomputer 560 includes the hit variation pattern determination tables 137A, 137B, and 137C shown in FIG. 23 to FIG. After determining the variation pattern using, a specific variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous is determined using the pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination table 139A or the pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination table 139B, but the hit variation pattern determination tables 137A, 137B, 137C and the deviation variation pattern determination tables 138A and 138B are set with a specific variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous and a corresponding determination value, and a variation pattern matching the random 4 is determined, and is executed during the pseudo-continuous. Specify the re-variation production It may be determined to the concrete fluctuation pattern for.

  Since the fluctuation pattern including the re-variation effect executed during the pseudo-run also includes information on the number of times of change in the pseudo-run, the change pattern including the pseudo-run effect is determined using the pseudo-run effect pattern determination table. Thus, the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-ream is also determined.

  As the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous, for example, a variation pattern such as a reach variation pattern accompanied by the pseudo-continuous is included in the variation pattern to be selected. Is a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations, a re-variation effect effect mode to be executed during a specific pseudo-continuation is selected from a plurality of predetermined types. Further, as the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous, for example, when selecting the variation pattern, whether or not to make the pseudo-continuous and the effect mode of the re-variation effect executed during the pseudo-continuous are determined first, and the pseudo-continuous is set. Sometimes, a specific variation pattern such as the type of reach variation may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns.

  FIG. 30 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command transmitted by the game control microcomputer 560. In the example shown in FIG. 30, the command 80XX (H) is an effect control command (variation pattern command) for designating a variation pattern of the effect symbol that is variably displayed on the effect display device 9 in response to the variation display of the special symbol.

That is, when a unique number is assigned to each of the variation patterns that can be used shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 14, and FIG. 28, variation pattern commands corresponding to each of the variation patterns specified by the number are displayed. is there. “(H)” indicates a hexadecimal number. The effect control command for designating the variation pattern is also a command for designating the start of variation. Therefore, when the production control microcomputer 100 receives the command 80XX (H), the production control device 100 controls the first design symbol display 9a or the second design design display 9b so as to start the design design variation display. In step 9, control is performed so as to start the variation display of the effect symbols.

  The commands 8C01 (H) to 8C05 (H) are effect control commands indicating whether or not to make a big hit and the type of the big hit game. The production control microcomputer 100 determines the display results of the decorative symbols and the production symbols in response to the reception of the commands 8C01 (H) to 8C05 (H), so that the commands 8C01 (H) to 8C05 (H) are specified as the display results. It is called a command.

  The command 8D01 (H) is an effect control command (first symbol variation designation command) indicating that the variation display (variation) of the first special symbol is started. Command 8D02 (H) is an effect control command (second symbol variation designation command) indicating that the variation display (variation) of the second special symbol is started. The first symbol variation designation command and the second symbol variation designation command may be collectively referred to as a special symbol specifying command (or symbol variation designation command). Note that information indicating whether to start the variable display of the first special symbol or the variable display of the second special symbol may be included in the variable pattern command.

  The command 8F00 (H) is an effect control command (symbol determination designation command) indicating that the display (change) of the effect symbol (and decoration symbol) is terminated and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. When receiving the symbol confirmation designation command, the effect control microcomputer 100 ends the variation display (variation) of the effect symbol and the decorative symbol and derives and displays the display result.

  Command 9000 (H) is an effect control command (initialization designation command: power-on designation command) transmitted when power supply to the gaming machine is started. Command 9200 (H) is an effect control command (power failure recovery designation command) transmitted when power supply to the gaming machine is resumed. When the power supply to the gaming machine is started, the gaming control microcomputer 560 transmits a power failure recovery designation command if data is stored in the backup RAM, and if not, initialization designation is performed. Send a command.

  Command 9F00 (H) is an effect control command (customer waiting demonstration designation command) for designating a customer waiting demonstration.

  The commands A001 to A003 (H) are for displaying a fanfare screen, that is, an effect control command for designating the start of a jackpot game or the start of a jackpot game (a jackpot start designation command or a jackpot start designation command: a fanfare designation command). is there. The big hit start designation command or the small hit start designation command includes a big hit start 1 designation command, a big hit start designation 2 designation command, and a small hit / rush start designation command corresponding to the type or small hit. The command A1XX (H) is an effect control command (special command during opening of a big winning opening) indicating a display during the opening of the big winning opening for the number of times (round) indicated by XX. A2XX (H) is an effect control command (designation command after opening the big winning opening) indicating the closing of the big winning opening for the number of times (round) indicated by XX.

  Command A301 (H) displays a jackpot end screen, that is, specifies the end of the jackpot game and an effect control command (special jackpot end 1 designation command: ending) that specifies that the jackpot game is a non-probable big hit (usually a big hit) 1 designation command). Command A302 (H) is an effect control command for displaying the jackpot end screen, that is, the end of the jackpot game and specifying that it is a probable big hit (big hit end 2 designation command: ending 2 designation command). is there. Command A303 (H) is an effect control command (small hit / probability end designation command: ending 3 designation command) for designating the end of the small hit game or the sudden probability change game.

  The command C000 (H) is an effect control command (first start winning designation command) that designates that the first start winning has been won. The command C100 (H) is an effect control command (second start winning designation command) for designating that the second starting win has been won. The first start prize designation command and the second start prize designation command may be collectively referred to as a start prize designation command.

  The command C2XX (H) is an effect control command (total pending storage number designation command) for designating a total number (total pending storage number) that is the sum of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number. “XX” in the command C2XX (H) indicates the total pending storage number. The command C300 (H) is an effect control command (total pending storage count subtraction designation command) that designates that the total pending storage count is decremented by one. In this embodiment, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits a total pending memory count subtraction designation command when subtracting the total pending memory count, but does not use the total pending memory count subtraction designation command, and does not use the total pending memory count subtraction designation command. When the stored number is subtracted, the combined pending storage number after the subtraction may be designated by a combined pending storage number designation command.

  The effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) mounted on the effect control board 80 receives the above-described effect control command from the game control microcomputer 560 mounted on the main board 31. Then, the display state of the image display device 9 is changed according to the contents shown in FIG. 30, the display state of the lamp is changed, and the sound number data is output to the audio output board 70.

  For example, the game control microcomputer 560 designates the variation pattern of the effect symbol every time there is a start prize and the variation display of the special symbol is started on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b. The variation pattern command and the display result specifying command are transmitted to the production control microcomputer 100.

  In this embodiment, the presentation control command has a 2-byte structure, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always set to “1”, and the first bit (bit 7) of the EXT data is always set to “0”. Note that such a command form is an example, and other command forms may be used. For example, a control command composed of 1 byte or 3 bytes or more may be used.

  In addition, as the transmission method of the effect control command, the effect control command data is output from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80 via the relay board 77 by the eight parallel signal lines of the effect control signals CD0 to CD7, In addition to the effect control command data, a method of outputting a pulse-shaped (rectangular wave-shaped) capture signal (effect control INT signal) for instructing capture of the effect control command data is used. The 8-bit effect control command data of the effect control command is output in synchronization with the effect control INT signal. The effect control microcomputer 100 mounted on the effect control board 80 detects that the effect control INT signal has risen, and starts a 1-byte data capturing process through an interrupt process.

  In the example shown in FIG. 30, a variation pattern command and a display result specifying command are displayed as a decorative symbol variation display (variation) and a second special symbol display corresponding to the variation of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a. The image display device 9 that can be used in common with the variation display (variation) of the decorative symbol corresponding to the variation of the second special symbol in 8b, and that produces effects in accordance with the variation display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. When controlling the effect parts, it is possible to prevent an increase in the types of commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 to the effect control microcomputer 100.

  Note that the command 8D01 (H) (first symbol variation designation command) and the command 8D02 (H) (second symbol variation designation command) are executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 by the first special symbol display 8a. Whether the first decorative symbol display 9a that performs the variable display of the first decorative symbol as a decorative (designating) symbol during the variable symbol display time is changed by the second special symbol display 8b. It is used to determine whether or not the decorative symbol is to be changed in the second decorative symbol display unit 9b that performs the variable display of the second decorative symbol during the variation display time of the second special symbol.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an example of a special symbol process (S26) program executed by the game control microcomputer 560 (specifically, the CPU 56) mounted on the main board 31. As described above, in the special symbol process, a process for controlling the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the special winning opening is executed. In the special symbol process, the CPU 56 detects that the game ball has won the first start port switch 13a or the second start port 14 for detecting that the game ball has won the first start game port 13. If the second start opening switch 14a is turned on, that is, if a start winning is generated, the start opening switch passing process is executed (S311 and S312). Then, any one of S300 to S310 is performed. If the first start winning port switch 13a or the second start port switch 14a is not turned on, any one of S300 to S310 is performed according to the internal state.

The processes of S300 to S310 are as follows.
Special symbol normal processing (S300): Executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is zero. When the game control microcomputer 560 enters a state where the special symbol variation display can be started, the game control microcomputer 560 checks the number of stored numerical data (total number of reserved memories) stored in the reserved memory number buffer. The number of numerical data stored in the reserved storage number buffer can be confirmed by the count value of the total reserved storage number counter. If the count value of the total reserved memory number counter is not 0, it is determined whether the display result of the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit or a small hit. In case of big hit, set big hit flag. In the case of a small hit, a small hit flag is set. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (1 in this example) corresponding to S301. The big hit flag and the small hit flag are reset when the big hit game or the small hit game ends.

  Fluctuation pattern setting process (S301): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 1. Also, the variation pattern is determined, and the variation time in the variation pattern (variation display time: the time from the start of variation display until the display result is derived and displayed (stopped display)) is the variation time of the special symbol variation display. Decide to do. Also, a variable time timer for measuring the special symbol variable time is started. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to S302 (2 in this example).

  Display result specifying command transmission process (S302): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 2. Control for transmitting a display result specifying command to the effect control microcomputer 100 is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to S303 (3 in this example).

  Special symbol changing process (S303): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 3. When the variation time of the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern setting process elapses (the variation time timer set in S301 times out, that is, the variation time timer value becomes 0), the internal state (special symbol process flag) is set to S304. Update to the corresponding value (4 in this example).

  Special symbol stop process (S304): Executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 4. The variable display on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b is stopped, and the stopped symbol is derived and displayed. Further, control is performed to transmit a symbol confirmation designation command to the production control microcomputer 100. When the big hit flag or the small hit flag is set, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (5 or 8 in this example) corresponding to S305 or S308. If neither the big hit flag nor the small hit flag is set, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (0 in this example) corresponding to S300. The effect control microcomputer 100 controls the effect display device 9 to stop the effect symbol and the decorative symbol when receiving the symbol confirmation designation command transmitted by the game control microcomputer 560.

  Preliminary winning opening opening process (S305): This is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 5. In the pre-opening process for the big prize opening, control for opening the big prize opening is performed. Specifically, a counter (for example, a counter that counts the number of game balls that have entered the big prize opening) is initialized, and the solenoid 21 is driven to open the big prize opening. Also, the execution time of the special winning opening opening process is set by the timer, and the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to S306 (6 in this example). The pre-opening process for the big winning opening is executed for each round, but when the first round is started, the pre-opening process for the big winning opening is also a process for starting the big hit game. In addition, when the big hit gaming state is the probability variation state, and the probability variation flag is set, the probability variation flag is reset (regardless of whether or not the big hit is a probability variation that is a probability variation. )

  Large winning opening open process (S306): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 6. A control for transmitting an effect control command for a round display during the big hit game state or the small hit game to the effect control microcomputer 100, a process for confirming the establishment of the closing condition of the big prize opening, and the like are performed. If the closing condition for the special prize opening is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (5 in this example) corresponding to S305. When all the rounds are finished, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to S307 (7 in this example).

  Big hit end process (S307): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 7. Control for causing the microcomputer 100 for effect control to perform display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended is performed. In addition, a process for setting a flag indicating a gaming state (for example, a probability change flag or a time reduction flag) is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (0 in this example) corresponding to S300.

  Small hit release pre-processing (S308): executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 8. In the pre-opening process for small hits, control is performed to open the big winning opening. Specifically, a counter (for example, a counter that counts the number of game balls that have entered the big prize opening) is initialized, and the solenoid 21 is driven to open the big prize opening. Also, the execution time of the special prize opening opening process is set by the timer, and the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to S309 (9 in this example). It should be noted that the small hit pre-release process is executed for each round, but when the first round is started, the small hit pre-release process is a process for starting the small hit game.

  Small hit release processing (S309): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 9. A control for transmitting a presentation control command for round display during the small hit gaming state to the microcomputer 100 for the presentation control, a process for confirming the establishment of the closing condition of the big prize opening, and the like are performed. If the closing condition for the special prize opening is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to S308 (8 in this example). When all rounds are completed, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value corresponding to S310 (in this example, 10 (decimal number)).

  Small hit end process (S310): This process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is 10. Control for causing the microcomputer 100 for effect control to perform display control for notifying the player that the small hit gaming state has ended is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to a value (0 in this example) corresponding to S300.

  FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the start port switch passing process of S312. In the start port switch passing process executed when at least one of the first start port switch 13a and the second start port switch 14a is in the on state, the CPU 56 is turned on by the first start port switch 13a. Whether or not (S211). If the first start port switch 13a is on, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the value of the first reserved memory number counter for counting the first reserved memory number is 4 (S212). If the value of the first reserved memory number counter is 4, the process proceeds to S221.

  If the value of the first reserved memory number counter is not 4, the CPU 56 increases the value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1 (S213). Further, the CPU 56 corresponds to the value of the total reserved storage number counter in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area) for storing the winning order to the first start winning opening 13 and the second start winning opening 14. Data indicating “first” is set in the area (S214).

  In this embodiment, when the first start opening switch 13a is turned on (that is, when a game ball starts and wins the first start winning opening 13), data indicating “first” is set, When the second start port switch 14a is turned on (that is, when a game ball starts and wins the second start winning port 14), data indicating “second” is set. For example, the CPU 56 sets 01 (H) as data indicating “first” when the first start port switch 13 a is turned on in the reserved storage specifying information storage area (holding specified area), 2 When the start port switch 14a is turned on, 02 (H) is set as data indicating “second”. In this case, when there is no corresponding reserved storage, 00 (H) is set in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area).

  FIG. 33A is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a reserved storage specifying information storage area (holding specified area). As shown in FIG. 33A, an area corresponding to the maximum value (8 in this example) of the total reserved memory number counter is secured in the reserved specific area. FIG. 33A shows an example in which the value of the total pending storage number counter is 5. As shown in FIG. 33 (A), an area corresponding to the maximum value (8 in this example) of the total reserved memory number counter is secured in the reserved specific area, and the first start winning opening 13 or the second start Data indicating “first” or “second” is set in the order of winning based on winning in the winning opening 14. Therefore, in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area), the winning order to the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 is stored. Note that the reserved specific area is formed in the RAM 55. “Formed in RAM” means an area in the RAM.

  FIG. 33B is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of an area (hold buffer) for storing a random number or the like corresponding to the hold memory. As shown in FIG. 33 (B), a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value (4 in this example) of the first reserved storage number is secured in the first reserved storage buffer. In addition, a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value of the second reserved storage number (4 in this example) is secured in the second reserved storage buffer. The first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer are formed in the RAM 55.

  In the start port switch passing process, the CPU 56 extracts a value from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating a software random number, and executes a process of storing them in the storage area in the first reserved storage buffer (S215). In the process of S215, random R (a big hit determination random number) and random 2-1 (see FIG. 15) that is a software random number are stored in the storage area.

  Next, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit the first start winning designation command (S216). Further, the CPU 56 increases the value of the total pending memory number counter indicating the total pending memory number that is the sum of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number by 1 (S217). Then, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a total pending storage number designation command indicating the total pending storage number based on the value of the total pending storage number counter (S218). Note that the total pending storage number designation command may be transmitted before the first start winning designation command.

  When transmitting an effect control command to the effect control microcomputer 100, the CPU 56 sets an address of a command transmission table (preliminarily set for each command in the ROM) corresponding to the effect control command as a pointer. . Then, the address of the command transmission table corresponding to the effect control command is set in the pointer, and the effect control command is transmitted in effect control command control processing (S29).

  Next, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the second start port switch 14a is turned on (S221). If the second start port switch 14a is on, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the value of the second reserved memory number counter for counting the second reserved memory number is 4 (S222). If the value of the second reserved memory number counter is 4, the process is terminated. If the value of the second reserved memory number counter is 4, the CPU 56 may perform the process of confirming again whether or not the first start port switch 13a is on (see S211).

  If the value of the second reserved memory number counter is not 4, the CPU 56 increases the value of the second reserved memory number counter by 1 (S223). Further, the CPU 56 sets data indicating “second” in an area corresponding to the value of the total reserved storage number counter in the reserved storage specifying information storage area (holding specified area) (S224).

  Next, the CPU 56 extracts values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers, and executes a process of storing them in the storage area in the second reserved storage buffer (S225). In the process of S225, random R (big hit determination random number) and random 2-1 (see FIG. 15) are stored in the storage area.

  Next, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a second start winning designation command (S226). Further, the CPU 56 increases the value of the total pending storage number counter by 1 (S227). Then, the CPU 56 transmits a total pending storage number designation command based on the value of the total pending storage number counter (S228). Note that the total pending storage number designation command may be transmitted before the second start winning designation command.

  In addition, you may implement | achieve the process of S213-218 and the process of S223-228 by one common routine. In that case, the CPU 56 first sets data indicating “first” when detecting that the first start port switch 13a is turned on, and indicates that the second start port switch 14a is turned on. When data is detected, the data indicating “second” is set, and the common storage routine selects the reserved memory number buffer (first reserved memory number buffer or second reserved memory number buffer) according to the set data. Or a start prize designation command (first start prize designation command or second start prize designation command) is selected. As described above, when the processes of S213 to 218 and the processes of S223 to 228 are realized by one common routine, the reserved storage buffer shown in FIG. It may be used in common with reserved storage (second special symbol). Specifically, in such a common reserved storage buffer, information indicating whether the storage is “first” or “second” in the order in which winning occurs in each storage area, and extracted. Information indicating random values (big hit determination value and big hit type determination value) may be stored and read according to the stored order to be used for variable display. As in the case of the above-described embodiment, the maximum value of the number of reserved memories may be managed separately for each of the “first” and “second” reserved memories.

  34 and 35 are flowcharts showing the special symbol normal process (S300) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol normal process, the CPU 56 confirms the value of the total number of reserved storage (S51). Specifically, the count value of the total pending storage number counter is confirmed. If the total pending storage number is 0, the process is terminated.

  If the total pending storage number is not 0, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the first data among the data set in the pending specific area (see FIG. 33A) is data indicating “first”. (S52). If it is data indicating “first”, a special symbol pointer (a flag indicating whether special symbol process processing is being performed for the first special symbol or special symbol process processing is being performed for the second special symbol) is set to “first”. 1 "is set (S53). If it is not data indicating “first”, that is, if it is data indicating “second”, data indicating “second” is set in the special symbol pointer (S54).

  In the RAM 55, the CPU 56 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number = 1 indicated by the special symbol pointer, and stores it in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55 (S55). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 determines each disturbance stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = 1 in the first reserved memory number buffer. The numerical value is read and stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, the CPU 56 reads each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = 1 in the second reserved memory number buffer. And stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55.

  Then, the CPU 56 decrements the count value of the reserved storage number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer, and shifts the contents of each storage area (S56). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 decrements the count value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1 and saves each storage area in the first reserved memory number buffer. Shift the contents of. When the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, the count value of the second reserved memory number counter is decremented by 1, and the contents of each storage area in the second reserved memory number buffer are shifted.

  That is, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 saves the first reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first reserved memory number buffer of the RAM 55. Are stored in a storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = n−1. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, it is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the second reserved memory number buffer of the RAM 55. Each random number value is stored in a storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = n−1.

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

  Then, the CPU 56 stores the count value of the total pending storage number counter in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 (S57), and then decreases the value of the total pending storage number by one. That is, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the total pending storage number counter (S58). The CPU 56 stores the value of the total pending storage number counter before the count value is decremented by 1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 55.

  In the special symbol normal process, first, data indicating “first” indicating that the process is executed for the first start winning opening 13, that is, “first” indicating that the process is executed for the first special symbol. ”Or“ second ”indicating that the process is performed on the second special symbol, that is,“ second ”indicating that the process is performed on the second start winning opening 14. Data is set in the special symbol pointer. In the subsequent processing in the special symbol process, processing corresponding to the data set in the special symbol pointer is executed. Therefore, the process of S300-S310 can be made common by the case where the 1st special symbol is made object and the case where the 2nd special symbol is made object.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads a random R (a jackpot determination random number) from the random number buffer area (S61), and executes a jackpot determination module (S62). The jackpot determination module is a program that compares a jackpot determination value (see FIG. 16) determined in advance with a jackpot determination random number, and executes a process of determining a jackpot or a small hit if they match. In other words, it is a program for executing a big hit determination process.

  The jackpot determination process is configured such that when the gaming state is a probable change state (high probability state), the probability of a big hit is higher than when the gaming state is a non-probability change state (normal game state and short-time state). ing. Specifically, a jackpot determination table at the time of probability change in which a large number of jackpot determination values are set in advance (a table in which the value on the right side of FIG. 16A in the ROM 54 is set) and the number of jackpot determination values are variable There is provided a normal big hit determination table (a table in which the numerical values on the left side of FIG. 16A in the ROM 54 are set) set to be smaller than the big hit determination table. Then, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation state. When the gaming state is a probability variation state, the CPU 56 performs a jackpot determination process using the probability variation jackpot determination table. When in the gaming state, the big hit determination process is performed using the normal big hit determination table. That is, when the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) matches any of the big hit determination values shown in FIG. 16A, the CPU 56 determines that the special symbol is a big hit (probability big hit or normal big hit). . When it is determined to be a big hit (S61), the process proceeds to S71. Note that deciding whether to win or not is to decide whether or not to shift to the big hit gaming state, but to decide whether or not to stop the special symbol display as a big hit symbol. But there is.

  Note that whether or not the current gaming state is the probability variation state is determined by whether or not the probability variation flag is set. The probability variation flag is set when the gaming state is shifted to the probability variation state, and is reset when the probability variation state is terminated. Specifically, the confirmation flag is set in the process of ending the big hit game when it is determined to be a probable big hit or suddenly probable big hit, and is reset at the start of the big hit game when the next big hit occurs. (Even if the next big hit is a promising big hit, it is reset once at the start of the big hit game).

  If the random R value does not match any of the big hit determination values, it is checked whether the random R value matches any of the small hit determination values (S62). If they match, a small hit flag is set (S63). Then, the process proceeds to S75. If it does not coincide with the small hit determination value, the process proceeds to S75 as it is.

  In S71, the CPU 56 sets a big hit flag. Then, the jackpot type determination table 131 shown in FIG. 16C is selected as a table used to determine the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types (S72). The type corresponding to the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random 2-1) stored in the random number buffer area (“normal”, “probability” or “surprise”) is determined as the jackpot type ( S73). Further, the data indicating the determined jackpot type is set in the jackpot type buffer in the RAM 55 (S74). For example, when the jackpot type is “normal”, “01” is set as the data indicating the jackpot type, and when the jackpot type is “probability”, “02” is set as the data indicating the jackpot type. Is “03”, “03” is set as data indicating the big hit type. In addition, about the 1st special symbol corresponding to the 1st start winning opening 13 in which the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is not provided, you may make it not allocate "accuracy" among jackpot types. In that case, the ratio of the jackpot type of “probability change” (“Accuracy” is not selected) for the first special symbol and the jackpot type that combines “probability” and “surprise” for the second special symbol is selected. The setting is made so that the ratio is equal. In addition, regarding the second special symbol corresponding to the second start winning opening 14 provided with the variable winning ball apparatus 15, it is possible not to allocate “accuracy” among the big hit types. In that case, the ratio of the jackpot type of “probability change” (“Accuracy” is not selected) is selected for the second special symbol, and the jackpot type that is the combination of “probability” and “surprise” is selected for the first special symbol The setting is made so that the ratio is equal. If it does in this way, it will become easy to generate | occur | produce 15R big hits about the start winning to the 2nd starting winning opening 14, and it can improve the interest of a game.

  Next, the CPU 56 determines a stop symbol of the special symbol (S75). Specifically, when the big hit flag and the small hit flag are not set, “−” as a special symbol is determined as the special symbol stop symbol. When the small hit flag is set, “5” as the small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol stop symbol. When the big hit flag is set, one of “1”, “3”, and “7”, which is a big hit symbol, is determined as a special symbol stop symbol according to the determination result of the big hit type. That is, when the big hit type is determined to be “surprise”, “1”, which is the two round big hit symbol, is determined as a special symbol stop symbol. When the big hit type is determined as “normal” or “probability change”, “3” or “7” is determined as a special symbol stop symbol.

  Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (S301) (S76).

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the variation pattern setting process (S301) in the special symbol process. In the variation pattern setting process, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the big hit flag is set (S91).

  When the big hit flag is set, the table used for determining the variation pattern type as one of a plurality of types is based on the gaming state according to the table selection rule shown in FIG. One of the big hit variation pattern type determination tables 132A to 132G is selected (S92). Then, the process proceeds to S101. The CPU 56 can determine the gaming state based on the state of the probability change flag and the time reduction flag.

  If the big hit flag is not set, it is confirmed whether or not the small hit flag is set (S93). When the small hit flag is set (Y in S93), the table selection rule shown in FIG. 19D is used as a table used to determine the variation pattern type as one of a plurality of types. Accordingly, one of the small hit variation pattern type determination tables 133A to 133C is selected (S94). Then, the process proceeds to S101.

  When the small hit flag is not set in S93 (in the case of N in S93), that is, when neither the big hit flag nor the small hit flag is set, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state, the probability change state, and Reach determination as a table used to determine whether or not to change the display state of the effect symbol to the reach state according to the table selection rule shown in FIG. One of the tables 134A to 134C is selected (S95). Further, random 2-2 is extracted by extracting the count value of the counter for generating random 2-2 (S96). Then, the CPU 56 is in the reach state corresponding to the value that matches the value of random 2-2 in the area corresponding to the reserved storage number (the value of the reserved storage number counter) in any of the selected reach determination tables 134A to 134C. Based on the data indicating presence / absence, whether or not to reach the reach state and the type of effect when not reaching the reach state or the reach type when reaching the reach state are determined (S97). Note that the value before being decremented by 1 in S53 may be used as the number of reserved storages used in S97.

  Then, in the determination at S97, it is determined whether or not it has been determined to reach the reach state (S98). When it is determined to reach the reach state, the variation pattern type is determined according to the reach type (reach HA2-1 to reach HA2-3, reach HB2-1, or reach HC2-1) determined in the process of S97. Is selected as one of a plurality of types, one of reach variation pattern type determination tables 135A to 135C is selected (S99). On the other hand, when it is determined not to reach the reach state, the types of effects determined in the process of S97 (non-reach HA1-1 to non-reach HA1-5, non-reach HB1-1, non-reach HB1-2, non-reach) Any one of non-reach variation pattern type determination tables 136A to 136C as a table used to determine one of a plurality of variation pattern types according to reach HC1-1 or non-reach HC1-2). Is selected (S100). Then, the process proceeds to S101.

  In S101, the CPU 56 extracts the value of random 3 by extracting the count value of the counter for generating random 3. Based on the extracted random 3 value, the variation pattern type is determined as one of a plurality of types by referring to the table selected in the processing of S92, S94, S99, or S100 (S102).

  Next, based on the determination result of the variation pattern type in S102, the CPU 56 uses hit variation pattern determination tables 137A to 137C as the tables used for determining any one of a plurality of variation patterns. One of the tables 138A and 138B is selected (S103). Further, the value of random 4 is extracted by extracting the count value of the counter for generating random 4 (S104). Based on the extracted random value 4, the variation pattern is determined as one of a plurality of types by referring to the variation pattern determination table selected in the process of S103 (S105).

  Then, it is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern including a pseudo-continuous effect is determined as the variation pattern (S105A). When the variation pattern including the pseudo-continuous effect is determined as the variation pattern, the CPU 56 determines the pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 28 if the value of the total pending storage number counter is 0 to 3. 139A is selected, and if the value of the total pending storage number counter is 4 to 8, the pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination table 139B shown in FIG. 29 is selected, and the count value of the counter for generating random 7 is extracted As a result, a random value of 7 is extracted. Then, referring to the selected pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination table based on the extracted random value 7, a variation pattern for specifying the effect mode of the re-variable effect executed during the pseudo-continuation is selected from a plurality of types. (S105B). On the other hand, when a variation pattern other than the variation pattern including a pseudo-continuous effect is determined as the variation pattern, the variation pattern based on the value of the random value 7 is not determined.

  In addition, the process of S105A and S105B is the re-variation effect selection process for selecting the first re-variation effect of the first re-variation effect mode or the second re-variation effect of the second re-variation effect mode as the re-variation effect, or As the re-variation effect, the first re-variation effect, the second re-variation effect, or the third re-variation effect in which the first re-variation effect and the second re-change effect are combined is selected. This includes a variation effect selection process.

  Next, an effect control command (variation pattern command) corresponding to the determined variation pattern is transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100 (S106).

  Also, the special symbol change is started (S107). For example, the start flag corresponding to the special symbol referred to in the special symbol display control process of S33 is set. Further, a value corresponding to the variation time corresponding to the selected variation pattern is set in the variation time timer formed in the RAM 55 (S108). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the display result specifying command transmission process (S302) (S109).

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the display result specifying command transmission process (S302). In the display result specifying command transmission process, the CPU 56 transmits an effect control command (see FIG. 30) of one of the display results 1 to 5 specified in accordance with the determined big hit type, small hit, and loss. Control to do. Specifically, the CPU 56 first checks whether or not the big hit flag is set (S110). If not set, the process proceeds to S116. When the big hit flag is set, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit type is a probable big hit (S111). When the big hit type is a probable big hit, control is performed to transmit a display result 3 designation command (S112). On the other hand, when the big hit type is not a probable big hit, it is checked whether or not the big hit type is a sudden probable big hit (S113). (S114). On the other hand, when the big hit type is not suddenly probable big hit, that is, when the big hit type is neither probable big hit nor sudden probable big hit, control is performed to transmit a display result 2 designation command (S115).

  When the CPU 56 confirms that the small hit flag is set in the process of S116, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a display result 5 designation command (S117). When the small hit flag is not set, control is performed to transmit a display result 1 designation command (S118).

  Then, a total pending storage number subtraction designation command designating that 1 is subtracted from the total pending storage number is transmitted (S119). Instead of transmitting the total pending storage number subtraction designation command, a total pending storage number designation command for designating the total pending storage number after subtraction may be transmitted. Further, the CPU 56 stores the transmitted display result specifying command in the effect symbol type storage area in the RAM 55.

  Thereafter, the CPU 56 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol changing process (S303) (S120).

  FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing the special symbol changing process (S303) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol changing process, the CPU 56 subtracts 1 from the variable time timer (S125). When the variable time timer times out (S126), the value of the special symbol process flag is set to a value corresponding to the special symbol stop process (S304). Update (S127). If the variable time timer has not timed out, the process ends.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the special symbol stop process (S304) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol stop process, the CPU 56 sets the end flag referred to in the special symbol display control process of S32 to end the variation of the special symbol, and the first special symbol display unit 8a or the second special symbol display unit 8b Control for deriving and displaying the stop symbol is performed (S131). If data indicating “first” is set in the special symbol pointer, the variation of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a is terminated, and “second” is indicated in the special symbol pointer. When data is set, the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b is terminated. Further, control for transmitting a symbol confirmation designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed (S132). If the big hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S139 (S133).

  When the big hit flag is set, the CPU 56 resets the probability variation flag and the hourly flag (S134), and performs control to send a big hit start designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (S135). Specifically, when the type of jackpot is a probabilistic jackpot, a jackpot start 2 designation command is transmitted. When the big hit type is suddenly a probable big hit, a small hit / surprise start designation command is transmitted. Otherwise, a jackpot start 1 designation command is transmitted. Whether or not the big hit type is a probable big hit or a sudden probable big hit is determined based on the data indicating the big hit type stored in the RAM 55 (data stored in the big hit type buffer).

  In addition, a value corresponding to the jackpot display time (time for notifying that the jackpot has occurred, for example, in the effect display device 9) is set in the jackpot display time timer (S136). In addition, the number of times of opening (for example, 15 times in the case of a normal big hit and a probable big hit (15 round big hit) and 2 times in case of a sudden hit (2 round big hit)) is set in the big prize opening number counter (S137). ). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special winning opening opening pre-processing (S305) (S138).

  In S139, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction state is set. If the time reduction flag is set, the value of the time reduction counter indicating the number of times the special symbol can be changed in the time reduction state is decremented by 1 (S140). Then, it is checked whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is 0 (S141). If the value of the time reduction counter is 0, the time reduction flag is reset (S142). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the small hit flag is set (S143). When the small hit flag is set, control is performed to transmit a small hit / probability start designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 (S144). In addition, a value corresponding to the small hit display time (for example, the time when the effect display device 9 notifies that the small hit has occurred) is set in the small hit display time timer (S145). Further, the number of times of opening (2 times) is set in the special winning opening opening number counter (S146). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the small hit release pre-processing (S308) (S147). If the small hit flag is not set, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (S300) (S148).

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing the pre-opening process for the special winning opening in the special symbol process (S305). In the pre-opening process for the big winning opening, the CPU 56 decrements the value of the big winning opening control timer by 1 (S401). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the big prize opening control timer is 0 (S402). If the value of the big prize opening control timer is not 0, the process is terminated.

  When the value of the big prize opening control timer is 0, the CPU 56 designates the big prize opening opening designation command (A1XX) for designating the display state according to the number of rounds during the opening of the big prize opening (during round). (H)) is transmitted to the production control microcomputer 100 (S403). Note that the CPU 56 recognizes the number of rounds by checking the value of the number-of-releases counter for counting the number of rounds in the big hit game. Then, the CPU 56 controls the solenoid 21 to open to open the special winning opening (special variable winning ball apparatus 20) (S404), and decrements the value of the opening number counter by -1 (S405).

  In addition, a value corresponding to the maximum time that the big prize opening can be opened in each round is set in the big prize opening control timer (S406). For example, in the case of 15 round big hits, the maximum time is 29 seconds, and in the case of sudden probability big hit or small hit, the maximum time is 0.5 seconds. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the step large winning opening opening process (S306) (S415).

  FIG. 41 and FIG. 42 are flowcharts showing the special winning opening opening process (S306) in the special symbol process. In the special prize opening opening process, the CPU 56 decrements the value of the special prize opening control timer by 1 (S420).

  Then, the CPU 56 confirms whether or not the value of the special winning opening control timer has become 0 (S421). When the value of the big prize opening control timer is not 0, it is confirmed whether or not the count switch 23 is turned on (S432). If the count switch 23 is not turned on, the process is terminated. When the count switch 23 is turned on, the value of the winning number counter for counting the number of winning game balls to the big winning opening is incremented by 1 (S433). Then, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the value of the winning number counter is a predetermined number (for example, 10) (S434). If the value of the winning number counter is not a predetermined number, the process is terminated. Note that the determination order of S421 and S432 may be reversed.

  When the value of the big prize opening control timer is 0 or when the value of the winning number counter is a predetermined number, the CPU 56 performs a control to drive the solenoid 21 and close the big prize opening (S435). ). Then, the value of the winning number counter is cleared (set to 0) (S436).

  Next, the CPU 56 confirms the value of the opening number counter (S438). When the value of the number-of-opening counter is not 0, the CPU 56 designates the post-big prize opening after-opening designation command (A2XX (H)) for designating the display state according to the number of rounds after the big prize opening is opened (after the round is completed). ) Is transmitted to the production control microcomputer 100 (S439). Then, a value corresponding to the time (interval period) from the end of the round to the start of the next round (interval period) is set in the big prize opening control timer (S440), and the value of the special symbol process flag is opened. The value is updated according to the preprocessing (S305) (S441). The interval period is, for example, 5 seconds. In the case of sudden hits or small hits suddenly, it may be shorter than 15R big hits.

  When the value of the number-of-opens counter is 0, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a big hit end 2 designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 when the data showing the big hit type is data showing the probability variation big hit. (S442, S447). Then, the CPU 56 sets a value corresponding to the jackpot end time (for example, the time at which the effect display device 9 notifies that the jackpot game has ended) to the jackpot control timer (S449), and the value of the special symbol process flag Is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot end process (S307) (S450).

  When the data indicating the big hit type is not the data indicating the probability variation big hit but the data indicating the sudden probability variation big hit, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a small hit / surprise end designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 ( S443, S444). When the data indicating the big hit type is not the data indicating the probable big hit, control is performed to transmit the big hit end 1 designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 (S445). Then, the process proceeds to S449.

  FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing the jackpot end process (S307) in the special symbol process. In the jackpot end process, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the jackpot end display timer is set (S150). If the jackpot end display timer is set, the process proceeds to S154. When the big hit end display timer is not set, the big hit flag is reset (S151), and the control for transmitting the big hit end designation command is performed (S152). Here, if it is a probable big hit, a big hit end 2 designation command is transmitted. Also, if suddenly a big odd hit, a small hit / surprise end designation command is transmitted. If neither the probability variation big hit nor the sudden probability variation big hit is found, a big hit end 1 designation command is transmitted. Then, a value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time during which the big hit end display is being performed in the image display device 9 (big hit end display time) is set in the big hit end display timer (S153), and the processing is ended.

  In S154, 1 is subtracted from the value of the big hit end display timer. Then, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the value of the jackpot end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the jackpot end display time has elapsed (S155). If not, the process ends. If it has elapsed, it is confirmed whether or not the type of jackpot is a probability variation jackpot or a sudden probability variation jackpot (S158).

  If the big hit type is a probability change big hit or a sudden probability change big hit, the probability change flag is set to shift the gaming state to the probability change state (S161). Then, the process proceeds to S162. On the other hand, if the type of jackpot is not a probability variation jackpot or a sudden probability variation jackpot, the process proceeds to S162. In S162, the time reduction flag is set (S162), and for example, 100 is set in the time reduction counter (S163). As a result, after the big hit gaming state is ended, the time-saving state is always controlled. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (S300) (S164).

  Note that although the timers and flags to be handled are different, the pre-opening process for small hits in S308 is the same process as the pre-opening process for large hits in S305, and the small-hit opening process in S309 is the same as the large-opening process in S306. The small hit end process in S310 is the same as the big hit end process in S307. However, unlike the case of the big hit end process, the probability change flag and the hourly flag are not set in the small hit end process. Therefore, at the small hit, the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are not set / reset.

  Next, specific examples of effects executed during variable display will be described with reference to the explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 44 to 47, the display screen of the effect display device 9 is shown by a rectangle. That is, in FIGS. 44 to 47, a part of the display screen of the circular effect display device 9 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 44 is a result of the control of the effect control microcomputer 100 when the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach”, when the specific effect is not executed, and when the “pseudo-continuous” specific effect is executed. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing a display operation example in the effect display device 9. FIG.

  When the fluctuation pattern of the non-reach PA1-1 is designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command, the specific effect is not executed as shown in FIGS. 44 (C1) and (C2). When the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4 is designated, a specific effect of “slip” as shown in FIGS. 44 (E1) to (E4) is executed. When the variation pattern of the non-reach PA 1-5 is designated, the “pseudo-continuous” specific effects as shown in FIGS. 44 (D1) to (D6) are executed. 44 (D1) to 44 (D6) show simplified pseudo-continuous effects.

  The example shown in FIG. 44A corresponds to, for example, “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R corresponding to the start of variation of special symbols in the special symbol variation display. In all, the production design changes. After that, as shown in FIG. 44B, the effect symbol “6” is stopped (temporarily stopped) in the “left” symbol display area 9L.

  When the specific effect is not executed or when the “slip” specific effect is executed, in response to the determination that the effect symbol “6” is determined as the left final stop symbol FZ1-1, FIG. The stop display of the effect symbol as shown in FIG. Note that if the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach”, the specific effect pattern is always determined to be the slip TP1-1 if the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4 in which the specific effect of “slip” is executed. Then (see FIG. 58), a “slip” specific effect is performed in which the effect symbol is re-varied at high speed in the “right” symbol display area 9R. Therefore, the effect symbol stopped and displayed in the “left” symbol display area 9L is not changed depending on the specific effect of “slip”. When the specific effect of “pseudo-continuous” is executed, when the effect symbol “6” is determined as the left final stop symbol FZ1-1, the effect symbol stop display as shown in FIG. Done.

  Thereafter, when the specific effect is not executed, for example, as shown in FIG. 44 (C1), the effect symbol “7” is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display) in the “right” symbol display area 9R. As shown in 44 (C2), after the effect symbol “4” is stopped and displayed in the “medium” symbol display area 9C (temporary stop display), the effect symbol that is a non-reach combination is stopped (final stop display). Is done. At this time, the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the “right” symbol display area 9R and the “middle” symbol display area 9C are determined as the right final stop symbol FZ1-2 and the middle final stop symbol FZ1-3.

  When the “pseudo-continuous” specific effect is executed, for example, as shown in FIG. 44 (D1), the “7” effect symbol is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display) in the “right” symbol display area 9R. Then, as shown in FIG. 44 (D2), by stopping the display of the effect symbol “6” in the “medium” symbol display area 9C (temporary stop display), the effect symbol that becomes the pseudo consecutive chance eye GC6 is stopped. Is displayed. At this time, for example, a temporary stop display such as a fluctuation change display of the effect symbols is performed, and then the effect symbols are changed again in all the symbol display areas 9L, 9C, 9R as shown in FIG. 44 (D3). Thereafter, for example, as shown in FIGS. 44 (D4) to (D6), “6”, “7”, and “4” effect symbols are sequentially applied in a predetermined order of “left” → “right” → “middle”. After the stop display (temporary stop display), the effect symbol which is a non-reach combination is stopped and displayed (final stop display).

  When the “slip” specific effect is executed, for example, as shown in FIG. 44 (E1), the “5” effect symbol is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display) in the “right” symbol display area 9R. Thus, as shown in FIG. 44 (E2), the effect symbol is changed again at high speed in the “right” symbol display area 9R. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 44 (E3), the effect symbol to be stopped and displayed is changed so that the effect symbol “7” is obtained in the “right” symbol display area 9R. Here, as shown in FIG. 44 (E1), the effect symbols that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the “right” symbol display area 9R are determined based on, for example, the determined right final stop symbol FZ1-2 (FIG. 44). 53). After that, for example, as shown in FIG. 44 (E4), after the effect symbol “4” is stopped and displayed in the “medium” symbol display area 9C (temporary stop display), the effect symbol that is a non-reach combination is stopped. Displayed (final stop display). Further, when a special effect of “slip” is executed, when a big hit is made, an effect symbol that is a combination of big hits is stopped and displayed (final stop display) as a result of the specific effect of “slip”.

  In addition, the following effects are also performed as pseudo-rendition effects. Symbols such as “1”, “2”, and “2” are temporarily stopped in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas, such as special PG 1-3 that is a big hit with non-reach Then, for example, in the “left” symbol display area, the effect symbol changes again at high speed. Then, the re-changed symbols are stopped at “2” so as to constitute a combination of jackpot symbols, and the effect symbols that finally become jackpots are stopped and displayed (final stop display). Note that the variation pattern that is a non-reach and big hit as a pseudo-rendition production is not limited to re-changing the production symbol in the “left” symbol display area, but re-variation of the production symbol in any symbol display area Also good. In addition, the effect symbols may be re-variable in a plurality of (two in this case) symbol display areas, without being re-variable in one symbol display area. Further, the speed of re-variation is not limited to re-variation at a high speed, but may be re-variable at a low speed.

  Instead of performing a specific effect of “sliding”, a pseudo-ream chance is displayed temporarily, and then a specific symbol of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effects is changed by one symbol. You may make it perform control which makes it the combination of a big hit symbol. For example, after the two temporary stops in the quasi-ream, control may be performed so that the combination of jackpot symbols is displayed by changing only one symbol as the third variation. Such a specific effect of “pseudo-continuous” and a specific effect of “slip” may be performed when either of 15 round big hit or 2 round big hit.

  45 to 47 are explanatory diagrams illustrating display operation examples when the variation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is other than “probability”. In the example shown in FIG. 45 (A), for example, the symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R of “left”, “middle”, and “right” correspond to the start of variation of the special symbol in the variation display of the special symbol. In all, the production design changes. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 45B, the effect symbol “6” is stopped (temporarily stopped) in the “left” symbol display area 9L.

  For example, when the specific effect of “slip” is executed as in the case where the variation pattern is Super PA4-2, as shown in FIGS. 45 (C1) to (C3), “Left” and After the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the “right” symbol display areas 9L and 9R, the effect symbols are changed again in the “right” symbol display area 9R and then stopped and displayed. Effect display is performed to change the effect symbol to be stopped and displayed so as to reach the reach state. Further, for example, when a specific effect of “pseudo-continuous” is executed, such as when the variation pattern is Super PA 4-3, as shown in FIGS. 45 (D1) to (D5), all symbols are displayed. After the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, effect display is performed in which the effect symbols are changed again (pseudo-variable) in all the symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R. After that, the effect symbols “6” in the “left” and “right” symbol display areas 9L and 9R are all stopped and displayed (temporary stop display), so that the variation display state of the effect symbols becomes the reach state.

  In the reach state as shown in FIG. 45 (C3) and FIG. 45 (D5), as shown in FIG. 46 (A), the changing speed of the effect symbol in the “medium” symbol display area 9C decreases. . When the variation pattern is any of normal PA2-5 to normal PA2-8, etc., as shown in FIG. 46B, the number “6” in the “medium” symbol display area 9C is “ A “normal” reach effect that is stopped (temporarily stopped) together with the left and right symbol display areas 9L and 9R is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 46B, the effect symbols constituting the jackpot combination are stopped and displayed in correspondence with the case where the fluctuation display result is “big hit”, but the fluctuation display result is “out”. For example, as shown in FIG. 46 (H), after displaying an effect image indicating that the number indicating “5” is stopped and displayed in the symbol display area 9C having “medium”, “medium” is displayed. Reach out of the reach combination by stopping and displaying effect symbols other than the number indicating “6” in the “medium” symbol display area 9C, such as stopping the effect symbol of the number “5” in the symbol display area 9C. It is only necessary to stop and display the effect symbols constituting the, and end the effect symbol variation display. When the reach effect α1 to the reach effect α3, the reach effect β1, and the reach effect β2 are executed, as shown in FIG. 46C, the change of the effect symbol in the “medium” symbol display area 9C that has been reduced. The speed increases again, and various reach effects are displayed. In the reach effect β1, after the character image CH2 as shown in FIG. 46D is displayed, the corresponding reach effect display proceeds. Further, in the case of any one of the reach effects α1 to the reach effects α3, after the character image CH1 as shown in FIG. 46 (E) is displayed, the reach effect display as shown in FIG. 46 (F) proceeds. To do. Then, in the reach effect α1, as shown in FIG. 46 (G), an effect symbol that is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display) in the first stage effect display appears. In the example shown in FIG. 46 (G), the effect symbols constituting the jackpot combination are stopped and displayed corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display result is “big hit”, but the fluctuation display result becomes “out of place”. In such a case, it is only necessary to stop and display the effect symbols constituting the reach-rejected combination and end the effect symbol variation display. On the other hand, in reach effect α2 and reach effect α3, as shown in FIGS. 46 (H) and (I), the process proceeds to the second stage effect display. In the reach effect β2, the corresponding reach effect display proceeds after the character image CH3 as shown in FIG. 46J is displayed.

  When the second stage effect display progresses as shown in FIG. 46 (I), if the reach effect α2 is reached, the second stage effect display stops (temporary stop display) as shown in FIG. 47 (A). The directed design appears. When the variation display result is “out of”, the displayed effect symbols are not changed, the effect symbols constituting the reach-off combination are stopped and displayed, and the effect symbol variation display is terminated. Further, in the reach effect α3, for example, the process proceeds to a third stage effect display (also referred to as “relief effect”). Then, an effect symbol that is stopped (temporarily stopped) in the third stage effect display appears. Thereafter, the effect symbol is stopped and displayed.

  Next, the operation of the effect control means will be described. FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing a main process executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) as effect control means mounted on the effect control board 80. The effect control CPU 101 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (S701). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 101 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring a timer interrupt flag (S702). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 101 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set in the main process, the effect control CPU 101 clears the flag (S703) and executes the effect control process of S704 to S709.

  In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 first analyzes the received effect control command, and performs a command analysis process for setting a flag according to the received effect control command (S704). Next, the effect control CPU 101 performs effect control process processing (S705). In the effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 9 is executed.

  Next, a first decorative symbol display control process is performed (S706). In the first decorative symbol display control process, display control of the first decorative symbol display 9a is executed. Further, a second decorative symbol display control process is performed (S707). In the second decorative symbol display control process, display control of the second decorative symbol display 9b is executed. Further, a hold storage display control process for controlling the display state of the combined hold storage display unit 18c is executed (S708). Furthermore, a random number update process for updating the count value of a counter (random counter) for generating a random number used for determining the aspect of the effect or the like is executed (S709). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S702. As in the special symbol process executed by the game control microcomputer 560, the first ornament symbol display control process and the second ornament symbol display control process are made common, that is, realized by one program module. Thus, the capacity of the program executed by the production control microcomputer 100 may be reduced.

  49 and 50 are flowcharts showing a specific example of the command analysis process (S704). The effect control command received from the main board 31 is stored in the reception command buffer, but in the command analysis process, the effect control CPU 101 confirms the content of the command stored in the command reception buffer.

  In the command analysis process, the effect control CPU 101 first checks whether or not a reception command is stored in a command reception buffer formed in the RAM (S611). Whether it is stored or not is determined by comparing the value of the command reception number counter with the read pointer. The case where both match is the case where the received command is not stored. When the received command is stored in the command receiving buffer, the effect control CPU 101 reads the received command from the command receiving buffer (S612). When reading is performed, the value of the read pointer is incremented by +2 (S613). The reason for +2 is that 2 bytes (1 command) are read at a time.

  As the command receiving buffer, for example, a ring buffer type command receiving buffer capable of storing six 2-byte effect control commands is used. Therefore, the command reception buffer is configured by a 12-byte area of reception command buffers 1 to 12. A command reception number counter indicating in which area the received command is stored is used. The command reception number counter takes a value from 0 to 11. The ring buffer format is not necessarily required.

  The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 is received by the interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and stored in the command reception buffer. In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 30) among the predetermined commands is the effect control command stored in the buffer area.

  If the received effect control command is a variation pattern command (S614), the effect control CPU 101 stores the variation pattern command in a variation pattern command storage area formed in the RAM (S615). Then, a variation pattern command reception flag is set (S616).

  If the received effect control command is a display result specifying command (S617), the effect control CPU 101 forms the display result specifying command (one of display result 1 specifying command to display result 5 specifying command) in the RAM. The display result specifying command storage area is stored (S618).

  If the received effect control command is a symbol confirmation designation command (S621), the effect control CPU 101 sets a confirmation command reception flag (S622).

  If the received effect control command is a jackpot start 1 designation command or a jackpot start 2 designation command (S623), the effect control CPU 101 sets a jackpot start 1 designation command reception flag or a jackpot start 2 designation command reception flag (S624). ). If the received effect control command is a small hit / accuracy start designation command (S625), the effect control CPU 101 sets a small hit / accuracy start designation command reception flag (S626).

  If the received effect control command is the first symbol variation designation command (S627), the first symbol variation designation command reception flag is set (S628). If the received effect control command is the second symbol variation designation command (S629), the second symbol variation designation command reception flag is set (S630).

  If the received production control command is a power-on designation command (initialization designation command) (S631), the production control CPU 101 displays an initial screen on the production display device 9 indicating that the initialization process has been executed. (S632). The initial screen includes an initial display of predetermined production symbols.

  If the received effect control command is a power failure recovery designation command (S633), a predetermined power failure recovery screen (screen for displaying information notifying the player that the gaming state is continuing) is displayed. Control is performed (S634).

  If the received effect control command is a jackpot end 1 designation command or a jackpot end 2 designation command (S641), the effect control CPU 101 sets a jackpot end 1 designation command reception flag or a jackpot end 2 designation command reception flag (S642). ). If the received effect control command is a small hit / abrupt end specification command (S643), the effect control CPU 101 sets a small hit / abrupt end specification command reception flag (S644).

  If the received effect control command is a special winning opening open designation command (S645), the production control CPU 101 sets a special winning opening open flag (S646). If the received effect control command is a designation command after opening the big prize opening (S647), the production control CPU 101 sets a flag after opening the big prize opening (S648).

  If the received effect control command is another command, the effect control CPU 101 sets a flag corresponding to the received effect control command (S649). Then, the process proceeds to S611.

  FIG. 51 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a variation display mode of decorative symbols (first decorative symbol and second decorative symbol). In this embodiment, the first decorative symbol display 9a and the second decorative symbol display 9b are composed of two LEDs. And as shown in FIG. 51, it lights alternately every predetermined time (for example, 0.5 second). When the display result of the special symbol is the jackpot symbol, the upper LED is turned on as the display result of the decorative symbol reminiscent of the jackpot (see FIG. 51A). Further, when the display result of the special symbol is changed to the off symbol, the lower LED is turned on as the display result of the decorative symbol reminiscent of the off symbol (see FIG. 51B).

  FIG. 52 is an explanatory diagram showing random numbers used by the effect control microcomputer 100. As shown in FIG. 52, in this embodiment, the production control microcomputer 100 includes random numbers SR1-1 to SR1-3 for determining the first to third final stop symbols, random numbers for determining the temporary stop symbols at the time of sliding. SR3, pseudo-continuous first variation temporary stop symbol determining random number SR4-1, pseudo-continuous second variation temporary stopping symbol determining random number SR4-2, first specific effect (sliding) pattern determining random number SR6- 1. Random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type of the first notice effect, the random number SR8 for determining the notice message of the button notice included in the first notice effect, and the basic development as the first step-up notice included in the first notice effect Random number SR9 for determining the advance notice step, random number SR10 for determining color reliability display, random number SR11 for determining pattern reliability display, random number SR12 for determining execution of the second advance notice effect, second notice effect Random number SR13 for determining the announcement step of the two-step-up announcement, Random number SR14 for determining the execution of the third announcement effect, Random number SR15 for determining the movable member operation of the movable member announcement as the third announcement effect, Execution of the fourth announcement effect Random number SR16 for determination, random number SR17 for determining mini-character display for mini-character announcement as fourth notice effect, random number SR18 for determining execution of fifth notice effect, random number for group display decision for group notice as fifth notice effect SR19, Random number SR20 for determining the first step-up notice content, Random number SR21 for determining the reach branch notice step as the first step-up notice included in the first notice effect, For determining the notice step of the button branch notice step Random number SR22 and random number SR23 for determining the notice content of the button branch notice step. Note that random numbers other than these may be used to enhance the effect. Moreover, it is desirable to set the random number values related to the notice effect such as SR7 to SR23 so that the upper limit values thereof are different prime numbers. In this way, the execution mode of the notice effect can be determined by different distributions.

  The random number SR3 for determining the temporary sliding stop symbol is used for temporarily or partially in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R when the specific effect of “sliding” is executed. It is a random number used to determine the effect symbol (temporary stop symbol) to be stopped and displayed.

  The pseudo-random first variation temporary stop symbol random number SR4-1 is an effect symbol (temporary stop) for temporary stop display in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R after the first variation. This is a random number used to determine the symbol. The pseudo-random second variation temporary stop symbol random number SR4-2 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R after subsequent re-variation. It is a random number used to determine the effect symbol (temporary stop symbol).

  The random number SR6-1 for determining the first specific effect pattern is used to determine the specific effect pattern corresponding to the content of the effect operation when executing the specific effect of “slip” as one of a plurality of types. Random number.

  The random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type determines whether or not to execute the first notice effect, and determines the notice pattern type when executing the first notice effect as one of a plurality of types prepared in advance. It is a random number used for. As described above, the notice effect includes the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the third notice effect, the fourth notice effect, and the fifth notice effect. Here, with reference to Table 1, the outline of the effect aspect about each of the 1st-5th notice effect is demonstrated.

  The first notice effect is an effect for displaying an image for a notice using a wide range of the effect display device 9, and one notice from a plurality of kinds of notice effects such as a button notice and a first step-up notice. It is executed by selecting a production. The reason for selecting and executing one notice effect from a plurality of types of notice effects is as follows. When a plurality of types of notice effects included in the first notice effect are executed at the same time, the display timing and the display location (display area) overlap, and the effect is cluttered by being displayed twice. Therefore, in order to prevent such effects from being messed up, one notice effect selected from a plurality of types of notice effects is executed as the first notice effect. In addition, by selecting a notice effect to be executed from a plurality of types of notice effects, it is possible to facilitate design change of the occurrence ratio of the notice effect with respect to the notice effect control. Further, since it is only necessary to execute the process of determining the effect mode for the selected type of the notice effect, the processing amount of the control program related to the notice effect can be reduced.

  The button notice means a notice effect that is executed on condition that the operation button is operated during the variable display. The first step-up notice is a notice in which the form of the notice is stepped up in a plurality of stages, and a notice effect selected from a plurality of notice effects such as a basic advance notice, a reach branch notice, and a button branch notice is provided. Executed. The first step-up notice is composed of a plurality of notice steps, and the notice step is stepped up (developed) in a plurality of stages by executing the plurality of notice steps in a predetermined order. . The basic advance notice is a notice effect in which the basic step-up effect is performed by executing the notice step in the basic step-up manner as the first step-up notice. Each of the reach branch notice and the button branch notice is provided. A production aspect common to the above is included. The reach branch notice is a notice effect in which the notice step branches into a plurality of steps, and a reach confirmation effect indicating that the reach state is established during the step-up notice effect similar to the basic advance notice is performed. This is an effect that branches into a step and a reach unconfirmed effect step that indicates that the reach state has not yet been established. The reach branch notice may not include the reach confirmation effect step. In that case, it is only necessary to perform an effect such that the step-up notice branches off from the middle stage of the notice effect, and it may be called with a notice name “step-up branch notice”. The button branch notice is an operation notice effect that executes a notice on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated from a predetermined notice step while a step-up notice effect is performed in the same notice step as the basic development notice. This is a notice effect in which the notice step branches off. In this way, the button branch notice is a kind of notice effect of button notice because it includes an effect part in which a notice effect in which the notice step branches into a plurality of conditions is executed on condition that the operation button 30 is operated.

  Thus, as the first notice effect, either the button notice or the first step-up notice is executed, and when the first step-up notice is executed, the basic development notice, the reach branch notice, and the button Any one of the branch notices is selected and executed. Each of the basic advance notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice is provided as a separate notice from the first step up notice, and whether or not to execute is determined separately from the first step notice. You may make it do. Specifically, as the first notice effect, any one of the notice effects is selected from the button notice, the basic development notice, the reach branch notice, and the button branch notice, and the selected notice effect is executed. Good. In addition, an example in which the button notice is executed exclusively as the first step-up notice as the first notice effect is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the button notice is provided independently as another notice executed at a different timing or in a different display area from the first notice effect to which the first step-up notice belongs. You may make it judge separately.

  The second notice effect is an effect of displaying an image for the notice using a region smaller than the first notice effect, and one kind of predetermined notice effect such as the second step-up notice is executed. . Here, the second step-up notice is a step-up notice that is different from the first step-up notice, and there are a plurality of stages of notices indicating that it is a big hit in the display screen area of the virtual monitor displayed as an image. This is an effect (hereinafter also referred to as a monitor notice) performed in the steps. Note that, as the second step-up notice, a notice effect in which the notice step is not branched into a plurality of notices is performed, but a notice effect in which the notice step is divided into a plurality of notices such as a reach branch notice and a button branch notice may be performed. . In addition, as the second step-up notice, in the case of performing a notice effect in which the notice step branches in a plurality, such as the reach branch notice and the button branch notice, the reach branch notice and the button branch notice are not included in the first step up notice. You may do it. In other words, it is only necessary that the notice effect in which the notice step branches into a plurality of notices, such as the reach branch notice and the button branch notice, can be executed by at least one of the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a plurality of step-up notice effects such as the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice regarding the step-up notice. The step-up notice effect to be executed is selected from the effects.

  For the first notice effect, first, as the first notice effect, a decision is made as to which type of notice effect is to be selected from the button notice and the first step-up notice, and then the selected notice effect is executed. Whether or not to do so, and a notice pattern for execution may be selected and determined.

  Also, one type of predetermined notice effect may be executed as the first notice effect, and one notice effect may be selected and executed from a plurality of kinds of notice effects as the second notice effect. Moreover, you may select and perform one notice effect from a plurality of types of notice effects in both the first notice effect and the second notice effect.

  The third notice effect is a notice effect performed separately from the first notice effect and the second notice effect, and is an effect that causes a notice operation as a notice operation using a movable member. In the third notice effect, a movable member notice for making a notice is executed by operating a star-shaped movable member 84 as a movable member in a predetermined manner.

  The fourth notice effect is an effect of displaying an image for the notice on the effect display device 9 separately from the first notice effect to the third notice effect. In the fourth notice effect, a mini character notice is given to make a notice by displaying a small character image called a mini character. A mini character is an abbreviation for a mini character, and is an image having a lower visibility than at least an effect design as identification information. More specifically, the mini character is an image having lower visibility than the effect design in the stop state including the temporary stop state. In addition, the mini character may be an image having lower visibility than the production symbol, and basically has a size (display area) smaller than the production symbol, but if the shape is less visible than the production symbol, the production character The size may be larger than that. The mini character is an image that is less visible than a character other than the mini character, such as being smaller in size than a character image displayed as a character other than the mini character.

  The fifth notice effect is an effect of displaying an image for the notice on the effect display device 9 separately from the first notice effect to the fourth notice effect. In the fifth notice effect, a group notice for giving a notice is executed by displaying a predetermined group of character images after reaching the reach.

  The random number SR8 for determining a button notice notice message is a random number used to decide a notice message as a button notice notice pattern, which will be described later, to one of a plurality of types prepared in advance.

  The random number SR9 for determining the notice step of the first step-up notice is one of a plurality of kinds prepared in advance as a notice step of the basic development notice executed as one kind of notice in the first step-up notice. It is a random number used to determine

  The random number SR10 for determining the color reliability display is a random number used to determine any one of a plurality of types of display patterns for displaying the color reliability indicating the reliability that will be a big hit after the notification in the button notification. It is. The random number SR11 for determining the pattern reliability display is used to determine one of a plurality of types of display patterns for displaying the pattern reliability indicating the reliability that will be a big hit after the advance notice in the first step-up notice.

FIG. 55 is an explanatory diagram showing a non-reach combination that does not become the final stop symbol. 56 and 57 are explanatory diagrams showing a final stop symbol determination table. FIG. 58 is an explanatory diagram of a specific effect pattern determination table. FIG. 59 is an explanatory diagram of a temporary stop symbol determination table. FIG. 60 is an explanatory diagram of a temporary stop symbol determination table.

  In the determination table stored in the ROM of the production control microcomputer 100, for example, a final stop symbol determination table shown in FIGS. 53A to 53C is used as a table for determining a predetermined non-reach combination. 160A to 160C are included.

  The final stop symbol determination table 160A shown in FIG. 53A is a left final stop that becomes a finalized effect symbol that is stopped and displayed in the “left” symbol display area 9L among the predetermined effect symbols that are combinations of predetermined non-reach. It is a table referred to in order to determine the symbol FZ1-1 based on the random number SR1-1 for determining the first final stop symbol. The final stop symbol determination table 160A is a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the value of the first final stop symbol determination random number SR1-1, and the symbol number “” of the effect symbol that becomes the left final stop symbol FZ1-1. Data (determination values) corresponding to “1” to “8” are included.

  The final stop symbol determination table 160B shown in FIG. 53 (B) is a right final stop that becomes a finalized effect symbol that is stopped and displayed in the “right” symbol display area 9R among the predetermined effect symbols that are combinations of predetermined non-reach. It is a table referred to for determining the symbol FZ1-2 based on the left final stop symbol FZ1-1 and the second final stop symbol determination random number SR1-2. The final stop symbol determination table 160B includes the value of the random number SR1-2 for determining the second final stop symbol in accordance with the symbol numbers “1” to “8” of the effect symbols determined as the left final stop symbol FZ1-1. It is a numerical value (determination value) to be compared, and includes data (determination value) corresponding to the symbol numbers “1” to “8” of the effect symbol that becomes the right final stop symbol FZ1-2.

The final stop symbol determination table 160C includes a random number SR1-3 for determining the third final stop symbol according to the determination result of whether the left / right outcome type DC1-1 corresponds to LR0, LR11 to LR18, or LR31 to LR38. And a data (determination value) corresponding to the symbol numbers “1” to “8” of the effect symbols to be the middle final stop symbol FZ1-3.

  In the final stop symbol determination table 160B shown in FIG. 53 (B), the symbol number of the effect symbol that becomes the left final stop symbol FZ1-1 and the symbol number of the effect symbol that becomes the right final stop symbol FZ1-2 are the same. Is not assigned a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the value of the random number SR1-2 for determining the second final stop symbol. With such an assignment, when a finalized design that is a predetermined non-reach combination is determined as the final stop symbol, the finalized design combination can be prevented from becoming a reach combination or jackpot combination.

  Further, in the final stop symbol determination table 160C shown in FIG. 53 (C), the combination of the left final stop symbol FZ1-1, the right final stop symbol FZ1-2, and the middle final stop symbol FZ1-3 is not assigned in advance. A numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the value of the random number SR1-3 for determining the third final stop symbol is not assigned to the portion that is a combination of the determined effect symbols.

  The final stop symbol determination table 162B shown in FIG. 56 (B) is a final final stop symbol FZ2- that becomes a finalized effect symbol that is stopped and displayed in the “medium” symbol display area 9C among the fixed effect symbols that are out of reach combinations. 3 is a table referred to for determining 3 based on the random number SR1-3 for determining the third final stop symbol. However, in FIG. 56 (B), the symbol difference between the left final stop symbol FZ2-1 and the right final stop symbol FZ2-2 is shown as data that can specify the middle final stop symbol FZ2-3.

  The middle final stop symbol FZ2-3 that constitutes the reach out-of-reach combination is specified by a symbol difference that is a difference value between the symbol numbers of the effect symbols as the left final stop symbol FZ2-1 and the right final stop symbol FZ2-2. That is, in the variation display of the effect symbol, the effect symbol variation is started in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, and “left” → “right” → “middle”. When the finalized design symbol resulting in the variation display result of the production symbol is stopped and displayed in this order, the “left” and “right” symbol displays other than the “medium” symbol display area 9C where the production symbol is stopped and displayed last. After the left and right final stop symbols FZ2-1 and FZ2-2 that are stopped and displayed in the areas 9L and 9R are determined using the final stop symbol determination table 162A, the "middle" symbol display is performed using the final stop symbol determination table 162B. A difference (design difference) between the middle final stop symbol FZ2-3 stopped and displayed in the area 9C and the left and right final stop symbols FZ2-1 and FZ2-2 is determined. Then, in accordance with the determined symbol difference, a definitive effect symbol that becomes the middle final stop symbol FZ2-3 that is stopped and displayed in the “medium” symbol display area 9C is determined.

  Further, in the determination table stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100, for example, a specific effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 58 is used as a table for determining one of a plurality of types of specific effect patterns. 164A is included. When the specific effect of “slip” is executed, the specific effect pattern determination table 164A shown in FIG. 58 slides the specific effect pattern based on the random number SR6-1 for determining the first specific effect pattern. It is a table referred to in order to determine any of the slips TP1-4. The specific effect pattern determination table 164A includes non-reach PA1-4, normal PA2-2, normal PA2-4, normal PA2-6, normal PA2-8, super PA3-2, super PA3-6, super PA4-2, super PA5-2, Super PB3-2, Super PB4-2, Super PB5-2, Super PC3-2, Super PC3-4, Super PD1-2, Super PE1-2, Special PG1-2, Special PG2-2, Special It is compared with the value of the random number SR6-1 for determining the first specific effect pattern according to the change pattern (see FIGS. 13 and 14) in which the specific effect of “slip” is executed, such as the change pattern of PG3-3. Data (determination value) that is a numerical value (determination value) and corresponds to the specific performance pattern of the slip TP1-1 to the slip TP1-4. No.

  In the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-1, after changing the effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, the “left” and “right” symbol display areas. After the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in 9L and 9R, the effect symbols are re-fluctuated at high speed in the “right” symbol display area 9R, and then stopped and displayed in the “right” symbol display area 9R. An effect display for changing the effect symbol to be performed is performed.

  In the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-2, after changing the effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, the “left” and “right” symbol display areas After the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at 9L and 9R, the effect symbols are re-fluctuated at high speed in the “left” symbol display area 9L, and then stopped and displayed in the “left” symbol display area 9L. An effect display for changing the effect symbol to be performed is performed.

  In the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-3, after changing the effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, the “left” and “right” symbol display areas. After the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in 9L and 9R, the effect symbols are re-varied to a low speed in the “right” symbol display area 9R, and then stopped and displayed in the “right” symbol display area 9R. An effect display for changing the effect symbol to be performed is performed.

  In the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-4, after changing the effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R, the “left” and “right” symbol display areas. After the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at 9L and 9R, the effect symbols are re-fluctuated at a low speed in the “left” symbol display area 9L, and then stopped and displayed in the “left” symbol display area 9L. An effect display for changing the effect symbol to be performed is performed.

  For example, when the variation pattern is non-reach PA1-4, depending on the previous effect value (previous effect storage data: a value indicating the variation pattern of the previous effect symbol), the slip TP1-1 to the slip TP1-4. You may make it change distribution of. As an example, the slips TP1-1 to TP1-4 that can be selected are changed according to which of the previous production values is 1 to 4. In addition, each of 1-4 shall show each of slip TP1-1-slip TP1-4. The effect control CPU 101 sets the previous effect value in the storage area in the RAM when the slip effect mode (slip TP1-1 to slip TP1-4) is determined. The specific effect pattern determination table 164A is a table to which a determination value is assigned so that the slip TP1-n is not selected when the previous determination value is n (any of n = 1 to 4). When the effect control CPU 101 determines the slip effect mode using the specific effect pattern determination table 164A configured as described above, the “slip” specific effect is executed according to the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4. In this case, it is possible to prevent the specific effect pattern from being the same as the specific effect pattern in the specific effect of “slip” executed last time.

  Also, instead of changing the configuration of the specific effect pattern determination table 164A, the specific effect pattern that is the same as the specific effect pattern in the specific effect of “slip” executed last time is not controlled by the control of the effect control CPU 101. May be. In that case, the specific effect pattern determination table 164A illustrated in FIG. 58 is used, but the determined slip effect mode (slip TP1-1 to slip TP1-4) is specified by the previous determination value. If they match, the effect mode is replaced (for example, if the determined slip effect mode is slip TP1-n, it is replaced with slip TP1- (n + 1)).

  Further, in the determination table stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100, for example, FIG. 59 is used as a table for determining an effect symbol to be temporarily stopped and displayed when a specific effect of “slip” is executed.

  For example, the remaining number of re-variable display operations is “0” in the variation of the effect design (pseudo continuous variation) in which the finalized design symbol that is the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed, and the temporary stop symbol is stopped one time before that. The final stop is such that the displayed design symbol variation (pseudo-continuous variation) is “1”, and the temporary stop symbol variation is displayed twice before (“pseudo-continuous variation”) is “2”. This corresponds to how many times the pseudo-continuous variation (variation in which the temporary stop symbol is stopped and displayed) is executed before the pseudo continuous variation in which the determined effect symbol that is the symbol is stopped and displayed is executed.

  FIG. 63 is an explanatory diagram of an effect control pattern table. Of the control pattern tables stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100, for example, the various effect control pattern tables 182 shown in FIG. 63 include a period in which the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. A plurality of types of data indicating the contents of various types of effect control are stored as effect control patterns. Each effect control pattern includes, for example, an effect control process timer setting value, an effect control process timer determination value, an effect display control data, an audio control data, a lamp control data, and an end code in a big hit gaming state or a small hit gaming state. The contents of various effect controls according to the progress of the effect operation, the change timing of the effect control, and the like are set in time series.

  Next, specific examples of the first notice effect and the second notice effect executed during the variable display will be described with reference to the explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 64 and 65. FIG. 64 and 65, the display screen of the effect display device 9 is shown by a rectangle. That is, in these drawings, a part of the display screen of the circular effect display device 9 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 64 is an explanatory diagram showing a display operation example in the effect display device 9 when the button notice of the first notice effect is executed as an example of the notice effect. In FIG. 64, (A) to (F) show the display states when the button notice is executed during the pseudo-variable display as time elapses. The button notice is executed as a first notice effect.

  Referring to FIG. 64, as shown in (A) and (B), “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display corresponding to the start of variation of the special symbol in the special symbol variation display, etc. The change of the effect design is started in all of the areas 9L, 9C, 9R. When it is decided to execute the button advance notice, as shown in (C), an image showing an envelope (hereinafter referred to as an envelope image) in a changing state where the effect symbol is not stopped in any symbol display area. 9P is displayed, an image indicating an operation button (hereinafter referred to as an operation button image) 9Q, an image indicating an operation request message “Please press the button” (hereinafter referred to as an operation request message image) 9S, Is displayed. The display of the envelope image 9P, the operation button image 9Q, and the operation request message image 9S is executed to prompt the player to operate the operation button 30. Hereinafter, the display of the envelope image 9P, the operation button image 9Q, and the operation request message image 9S is referred to as a button operation promotion effect.

  Among the button operation promotion effects, the envelope image 9P is selected by selecting the envelope color according to the ratio of the big hit after the button notice effect (for example, “first color display (white)”, “second color display ( In order of “blue”) and “third color display (yellow)”, the color is selected to indicate that the reliability of the big hit after the button notification is high (the relationship of the big hit reliability is the first color display). <Second color display <Third color display))), the display showing the reliability of the big hit. Thereby, since the reliability of the jackpot is indicated by the color of the envelope before the button notice is given, the player's expectation can be enhanced and the operation of the operation button 30 by the player can be promoted. Such a display indicating the reliability of the big hit is called a color reliability display. Regarding the color reliability display in the button notice, the color reliability display is not performed for all the fluctuations in the pseudo-ream, but the color reliability display for a specific part of the fluctuations. It may be performed. That is, regarding the color reliability display in the button notice, the color reliability display may be performed for at least one variation.

  In “first color display” to “third color display”, the color reliability display of the same color may be selected a plurality of times in succession, or may be selected out of order. However, the prohibition process is performed so that the order of the reliability of the big hit is not selected in a reverse manner (for example, the second color display is not selected after the third color display is selected). It is. Specifically, for example, when the first color display is selected in the first variation (initial variation) during the variation of the pseudo-series, the first color display having a reliability higher than the first color display in the second variation. The color display with the above reliability color is selected. Further, for example, when the second color display is selected in the first variation (initial variation) during the variation of the pseudo-series, the color display with a color with a reliability higher than the second color display is performed in the second variation. Selected. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the state of the notice effect performed in the pseudo-ream from being low in reliability even though the expectation is given by the pseudo-ream.

  The button operation promotion effect may be any effect as long as it is an effect operation that prompts the player to operate the operation button 30 at a predetermined position on the display screen of the effect display device 9, for example. Further, the button operation promotion effect is not limited to the effect display device 9 that displays the effect image, but the one that outputs a predetermined sound from the speaker 27, for example, the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect. A lighting device such as an LED 85c that lights or blinks in a predetermined lighting pattern, for example, a movable member provided in an effect accessory provided in the game area 7 or outside the game area 7 such as the movable member 78. It is also possible to use a combination of any of these.

  In addition, the example which alert | reports the reliability which becomes a big hit after a button notice by the color of the envelope image 9P was demonstrated. However, the reliability that becomes a big hit after the button notice is only required to be notified by the mode of the button operation promotion effect, for example, may be notified by the size, type, shape, etc. of the envelope image 9P, Further, the button operation promotion effect is not limited to the form of the envelope image 9P, but the form of the operation button image 9Q or the operation request message image 9S, or the form of each of the envelope image 9P, the operation button image 9Q, and the operation request message image 9S. You may alert | report by the combination of these.

  The period from the start to the end of the button operation promotion effect is an operation effective period for effectively detecting the operation of the operation button 30 by the player. And if operation of the operation button 30 by the player is detected within the operation effective period, the execution of the button operation promotion effect is stopped as shown in FIG. Of the plurality of types of effect modes determined, a notice is given that a big hit will be made in any of the effect modes. Specifically, the envelope image 9P is opened, and an effect is shown in which a notice message written on the document as the contents is displayed. As a plurality of types of production modes, a plurality of production modes with different notice messages written in the document are determined in advance, and any one of these production modes is selected, and the notice message according to the selected production mode Is displayed.

  The notice message includes, for example, the messages “...”, “CHANCE”, “REACH”, “extreme heat”, “FEVER”, and “GOOD LUCK”, and any one message is selected. Is displayed. The notice message has a selection ratio set so that the ratio of winning a big hit after the notice effect is different. In this embodiment, the degree of the ratio that becomes a big hit after the notice effect is referred to as the big hit reliability. For example, the reliability of the jackpot is set higher for the other notice messages than for the notice message “... Also, the reliability of the jackpot is set higher for the warning messages “Fever”, “FEVER”, and “GOOD LUCK” than for “CHANCE”. Further, “REACH” is set to be selectable only when reaching after the notice effect. In addition, “FEVER” is set so that it can be selected only when a big hit occurs after the notice effect. As shown in (C) and (D), the button notice as the first notice effect is performed using a relatively wide display area of the effect display device 9.

  As described above, in the button notice, when the operation button 30 is operated by the player, the notice message according to the reliability of the jackpot is displayed, so that the interest of the player can be improved.

  After the display of the button notice as shown in (D) is finished, as shown in (F), in the “left”, “middle” and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C and 9R, Display control is performed so as to be in a stop state (when re-change remains) or a complete stop state (when last change).

  On the other hand, when the operation of the operation button 30 by the player is not detected within the operation effective period, the display relating to the button notice as in (D) is not performed, and as shown in (E) and (F), The variation display is continued in the display mode, and the display control is performed so that the effect symbol is in a temporarily stopped state (when re-variation still remains) or a complete stop state (when it is the last variation).

  Note that “REACH” may be set to be selectable even when reach is not achieved after the notice effect. Further, “FEVER” may be set so that it can be selected even when a big hit is not made after the notice effect. In addition, for all notice messages of "...", "CHANCE", "REACH", "Intense heat", "FEVER", and "GOOD LUCK", both when it comes off and when it is a big hit In some cases, the reliability of the jackpot may be made different by making the selection possible as a notice and changing the ratio of winning the jackpot after the notice.

  In addition, for the color reliability display in the button notice, a basic color (for example, white) is predetermined as the envelope color, and the envelope color is specified from the basic color according to the reliability level of the big hit. By performing display control to change to a color (for example, yellow), the reliability for the big hit may be indicated (for example, when the reliability for the big hit is less than a predetermined level, the envelope color is the basic color) When the reliability of the big hit is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, display control is performed so that the envelope color is a specific color).

  Moreover, in the button notice mentioned above, the example which displays the envelope image 9P of the same shape in each fluctuation | variation of a pseudo | simulation series was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and display control for displaying envelope images having different shapes according to fluctuations in the pseudo-series (some shapes may be different, all shapes may be different, or sizes may be different). May be performed. Further, the reliability of the big hit may be indicated by the shape of the envelope image 9P. For example, instead of color reliability display, by changing the shape of the envelope image according to the reliability of the big hit, such as making the shape of the envelope image a specific shape when the reliability of the big hit is high, the envelope You may make it show the reliability which becomes a big hit by the shape of an image.

  FIG. 65 is an explanatory diagram showing a display operation example in the effect display device 9 when the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are executed as an example of the notice effect. In FIGS. 65A to 65E, the display states when the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are executed during pseudo-variable display are shown as time elapses. FIG. 65 shows an example when the basic advance notice is selected as the first step notice.

  First, the basic development notice will be explained. Referring to FIG. 65, as shown in (A) and (B), “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display corresponding to the start of variation of the special symbol in the variation display of the special symbol, etc. The change of the effect design is started in all of the areas 9L, 9C, 9R. When it is decided to execute the basic advance notice, after that, as shown in FIGS. 65 (B) to (D), a plurality of stages are displayed in the changing state in which the production symbols are not stopped in any of the symbol display areas. A basic advance notice composed of these steps is executed.

  Specifically, in the basic advance notice, a notice indicating that it will be a big hit is divided into a plurality of steps (for example, three steps of Step 1 to Step 3). In the pseudo-ream, a maximum of three variation displays (including re-variation) are continuously performed. As for the basic advance notice, the three notice steps from Step 1 to Step 3 are executed at the maximum in each pseudo-variation display. For each of the notice steps from Step 1 to Step 3, images (hereinafter referred to as character images) 91T, 92T, and 93T showing three humanoid characters having different colors are prepared. One or a plurality of (three at the maximum) notice steps are selected and displayed from step 1 to step 3 for each variation display of a series of variation display performed continuously like a pseudo-ream. As a result, a character image corresponding to the selected step is displayed.

  In the basic advance notice, in principle, the first character image 91T with the first color (for example, black) is displayed in step 1, the second color (for example, green) with the second color. Display in a manner that steps up in multiple steps according to the order of step 2 in which the character image 92T is displayed and step 3 in which the third character image 93T with a third color (for example, red) is displayed. Is done. Therefore, for example, when a variable display is performed with a pseudo-continuous change pattern, the character image is switched and displayed each time the advance notice step is stepped up.

  For Step 1 to Step 3 constituting the basic advance notice, the reliability of the big hit is set in the order of Step 1 <Step 2 <Step 3 so that the ratio of the big hit when it is displayed increases thereafter. ing. As a result, when viewed from the player, in the order of the first character image 91T <the second character image 92T <the third character image 93T, the ratio of the big hit after being displayed is increased. The reliability that is a big hit is set.

  These step 1 to step 3 may be selected by repeating the same step a plurality of times, or may be selected by skipping the order. However, the prohibition process is performed so that the reliability of the big hit is not selected in a manner in which the order is reversed (for example, step 1 is not selected after step 2 is selected). Specifically, for example, when the notice step of Step 1 is selected for the first time during the fluctuation of the pseudo-ream, the step of Step 1 or more is selected as the next notice step. Further, for example, when the notice step of Step 2 is first selected during the fluctuation of the pseudo-ream, the step of Step 2 or more is selected as the next notice step. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the state of the notice effect performed in the pseudo-ream from being low in reliability even though the expectation is given by the pseudo-ream.

  FIG. 65 shows a display example of a typical basic advance notice in which three character images are displayed in the principle order as described above. As shown in (B), in step 1, which is the first step in the basic advance notice, the first character image 91T is displayed (for example, appears from the end of the screen). Then, in step 2, which is the second step in the basic advance notice, as shown in (C), the second character image 92T is displayed (for example, appears from the end of the screen). Further, in step 3, which is the third step in the basic advance notice, as shown in (D), a third character image 93T is displayed (for example, appears from the end of the screen).

  As described above, in the basic development notice, character images of different colors may be sequentially displayed in all of steps 1 to 3 constituting the basic development notice.

  In addition, the character image displayed in each step of the basic advance notice is attached with one pattern selected from a plurality of kinds of patterns in which the selection ratio is set so that the ratio of the big hit after the notice effect is different. (For example, in the order of “first pattern display (solid painting)”, “second pattern display (striped pattern)”, and “third pattern display (spotted pattern)”, the reliability that becomes a big hit after the basic development notice The pattern display is selected so as to indicate that it is high (the relationship of the big hit reliability is the first pattern display <the second pattern display <the third pattern display). The display according to the reliability can be improved by adding a pattern according to the reliability to the character image, and such a display indicating the reliability of the jackpot is called a pattern reliability display. As for the pattern reliability display in the basic advance notice, the pattern reliability display may not be performed for all the steps but may be performed for a specific part of the steps. In other words, the pattern reliability display in the basic development notice may be performed with respect to at least one step, in particular, the pattern reliability for step 1 as a specific partial step. If the degree display is performed, the player's interest is attracted at the start of the notice effect, so that the player's interest can be further improved. When the reach branch notice using the same character image as the advance notice is performed, and when the button branch notice is performed It is also executed in each.

  In “first pattern display” to “third pattern display”, pattern reliability display of the same pattern may be selected several times in succession, or may be selected out of order. However, the prohibition process is performed so that the order of the reliability of the big hit is not selected in a reverse manner (for example, the second pattern display is not selected after the third pattern display is selected). It is. Specifically, for example, when the first pattern display is first selected during the fluctuation of the pseudo-series, the pattern reliability display having the reliability higher than the first pattern display is selected as the next pattern reliability display. Further, for example, when the second pattern display is first selected during the fluctuation of the pseudo-series, a step higher than the second pattern display is selected as the next pattern reliability display. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the state of the notice effect performed in the pseudo-ream from being low in reliability even though the expectation is given by the pseudo-ream.

  When a big hit occurs after the notice effect, as shown in (E), when the last variation display is performed, all the character images displayed in the series of variation display are displayed (for example, the end of the screen). Appear from the department). For the basic advance notice, a fourth step (step 4) for displaying as shown in (E) may be provided as a notice step.

  In this way, in the basic advance notice, when the variable display is continuously performed, the character image is displayed in such a manner that the reliability of the jackpot is increased every time the variable display is performed. Interest can be improved.

  As for the basic advance notice described above, an example in which a character image having a different color appears in each of the plural notice steps is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and character images having different shapes (some shapes may be different, all shapes may be different, or sizes may be different) appear in each of the plurality of notice steps. Display control may be performed. As for the basic advance notice, an example is shown in which the pattern reliability display indicating the reliability of the big hit is performed by changing the type of the pattern attached to the character image according to the reliability of the big hit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the color reliability display indicating the reliability of the big hit may be performed by changing the color type of the character image according to the reliability of the big hit. When performing such color reliability display, the character image appearing in each notice step has a basic color (for example, black), and the character image is displayed according to the reliability level that is a big hit. Display control may be performed to change the color of the character from a basic color to a specific color (for example, red) (for example, when the reliability of the big hit is less than a predetermined level, the color of the character image is set as the basic color, When the reliability of the big hit is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, display control is performed so that the color of the character image is a specific color).

  Next, the second step-up notice will be described. Referring to FIG. 65, the second step-up advance notice constituted by a plurality of steps in the changing state where the effect symbols are not stopped in any of the symbol display areas as shown in FIGS. Is executed. The second step-up notice is executed independently of the first notice effect as a second notice effect different from the first notice effect including the first step-up notice and the button notice described above. FIG. 65 shows an example in which the second step-up notice is executed in parallel with the first step-up notice.

  Specifically, a monitor 95 as a virtual display device is displayed in a part of the display area of the effect display device 9, and in the display screen area of the monitor 95, a notice indicating that a big hit is made in a plurality of steps ( For example, it is divided into three stages (step A to step C). In the pseudo-ream, a maximum of three variation displays (including re-variation) are continuously performed. For the second step-up notice, the three notice steps, Step A to Step C, are executed at the maximum in each pseudo-variation display. For each notice step of Step A to Step C, three character images (referred to as monitor character images) 951, 952, and 953 having different shapes are prepared. One or a plurality of (three at the maximum) notice steps are selected and displayed among the steps A to C in each series of variation display performed continuously like a quasi-ream. As a result, the monitor character image corresponding to the selected advance notice step is displayed.

  In principle, the second step-up notice includes step A in which the first monitor character image 951 having the first shape (the body is circular) is displayed, and the second shape (the body is square). In accordance with the order of step B in which the second monitor character image 952 formed is displayed and step C in which the third monitor character image 953 having the third shape (the body is triangular) is displayed in a plurality of stages. Displayed in a step-up manner. Therefore, for example, when the variable display is performed with a pseudo-continuous variation pattern, the monitor character image is switched and displayed every time the advance notice step is stepped up.

  Regarding Step A to Step C constituting the second step-up notice, the reliability of the big hit is such that the ratio of the big hit after the display becomes higher in the order of Step A <Step B <Step C. Is set. As a result, in the appearance from the player, the ratio of the big hit after the display is high in the order of the first monitor character image 951 <the second monitor character image 952 <the third monitor character image 953. The reliability that is a big hit is set.

  In these steps A to C, the same step may be selected several times in succession, or may be selected out of order. However, the prohibition process is performed so that the reliability of the big hit is not selected in a manner in which the order is reversed (for example, step A is not selected after step B is selected). Specifically, for example, when the notice step of step A is selected for the first time during the fluctuation of the pseudo-ream, a step greater than step A is selected as the next notice step. Further, for example, when the notice step of step B is first selected during the fluctuation of the pseudo-ream, a step equal to or higher than step B is selected as the next notice step. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the state of the notice effect performed in the pseudo-ream from being low in reliability even though the expectation is given by the pseudo-ream.

  Referring to FIG. 65, for example, at the stage of executing step 1 of the first step-up notice as shown in (B), the first monitor character is obtained by step A which is the first step in the second step-up notice. An image 951 is displayed. At the stage of executing step 2 of the first step-up notice as shown in (C), the second monitor character image 952 is displayed by step B which is the second step in the second step-up notice. Then, at the stage of executing step 3 of the first step-up notice as shown in (D), the third monitor character image 953 is displayed by step C which is the third step in the second step-up notice.

  As described above, in the second step-up notice, character images having different shapes may be sequentially displayed in all of Steps A to C constituting the second step-up notice.

  Then, when a big hit is made after the notice effect, although not shown, all monitor character images displayed in the series of change display are displayed at the stage where the stop operation of the effect symbol is started.

  In this way, in the second step-up notice, when the variable display is continuously performed, the monitor character image is displayed in such a manner that the reliability of the big hit is stepped up every time the variable display is performed. The interest of the player can be improved.

  Such a second step-up notice is executed when the determination as to whether or not to execute is performed separately from the first notice effect, and when it is determined to be executed. Therefore, the second step-up notice is executed as a notice effect when the second step-up notice is executed alone, simultaneously with the button notice, and simultaneously with the first step-up notice. There is a time.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as the notice effect, only one of the first notice effect and the second notice effect is executed, and when both are executed in parallel. There is. Therefore, as a mode in which the notice effect is executed, when only the button notice is executed, only the first step-up notice is executed, only the second step-up notice is executed, the button notice and the second There are times when the step-up notice is executed in parallel and when the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are executed in parallel.

  Next, another example of the first step-up notice will be described. As described above, as the first step-up notice, in addition to the basic development notice shown in FIG. 65, a reach branch notice and a button branch notice can be executed. Here, the reach branch notice will be described with reference to FIG. 66, and the button branch notice will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 66 is a timing chart for explaining the reach branch notice as the first notice effect. In FIG. 66, (A) shows a pseudo-continuous variation pattern, and (B) shows specific contents of the reach branch notice.

  As shown to (A), in a pseudo | simulation series, the fluctuation | variation display of multiple times including re-variation is performed like the 1st fluctuation | variation display-the 3rd fluctuation | variation display, for example. The display in the reach state is executed at the time of the last variation display such as the third variation display. The effect of the reach branch notice is performed in each variation display of the first variation display to the third variation display in the pseudo-ream. In FIG. 66, as a representative example of the content of the effect, the content of the effect executed at the time of the last variation display such as the third variation display is shown in (B).

  Referring to FIG. 66, in the third change display (re-change) when the reach branch notice is executed, the first character image is displayed in the first step as in the case of the basic development notice, In the second step, the second character image is displayed. In this way, by executing the notice step similar to the basic development notice, the player can recognize that the step-up notice is being executed. In the third step, the notice step branches into a reach confirmation effect step indicating that the reach state is established and a reach unconfirmed effect step indicating that the reach state is not established. . Even when the reach branch notice is selected, depending on the execution mode selected, the notice effect may end at the first step or the second time without proceeding to the third time (FIG. 86). , See FIG. 87).

  In the step of reach confirmation production, in various stages before reaching the reach state, an image display (effect display device 9), sound generation (speaker 27), and light emission (reproduction display device 9) are displayed by various production devices. Various lamps) are performed. The image showing that the reach is confirmed is a specific type of effect different from the image displayed in the previous effect so that the effect branched from the step-up effect displayed so far becomes clear By using the image, it is an image that can be recognized as a notice effect branched from a series of step-up notice effects. By performing such an effect, the player can grasp that the reach is determined.

  On the other hand, in the reach undetermined effect step, the image display (effect display device 9) and sound generation (speaker) that can specify that the reach has not been determined by various effect devices at the stage before reaching the reach state. 27) and effects such as light emission (various lamps) are performed. The image that can specify that the reach has not yet been determined may be a continuation of a series of step-up notice effects by using an image that is related to the image of the step-up effect that has been displayed so far. It is a recognizable image. In the step of reach undecided effect, the step of reach confirmed effect is shown by indicating that a series of step-up notices are continued using images related to the image of the step-up effect displayed so far. Is executed, the reach confirmation effect can be further emphasized as an effect branched from the step-up notice effect.

  It should be noted that the relationship between the step of the reach confirmation effect and the step of the reach indefinite effect may be any relationship as long as the effect can indicate whether or not the reach is confirmed. For example, let the step of reach confirmation effect be a step of performing an effect with the same level of effect effect as the image displayed in the previous effect, and display the step of reach undecided effect in the effect so far It may be possible to indicate whether or not the reach is confirmed by performing the step of performing a production (simple production) having a lower level of production effect than the image that has been performed.

  FIG. 67 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example on the effect display device 9 for explaining the button branch notice as the first notice effect. In FIG. 67, (A) to (G) show the display state when the button branch notice is executed during pseudo-variable display as time elapses.

  When the effect symbols as shown in (A) are stopped, when the effect symbols start to change in all symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R as shown in (B), the effect of the basic advance notice is given. Similarly to the above, the character image 91T displayed in the first notice step of the step is displayed. In this way, by executing the notice step similar to the basic development notice, the player can recognize that the step-up notice is being executed.

  When the button branching step is selected as the second notice step, the notice step branches to the notice step of the operation notice effect that performs the notice effect according to the operation of the operation button 30 (such as this The branch of the flow of the production is called button branch), and the button operation promotion production as shown in (C) is performed. Specifically, in the button operation promotion effect in button branching, an image showing a parcel (hereinafter referred to as a parcel image) 96 and an operation button image 9Q are displayed, and an effect of prompting the player to operate the operation button 30 is displayed. Is done. As the button operation promotion effect in the button branch, an operation request message image 9S as shown in FIG. 64 may be displayed together with the button notice. The button operation promotion effect is performed in any effect mode such as display on the display screen of the effect display device 9, sound output of the speaker 27, and operation of the movable member, as in the case of the button notice described above. Also good. Further, the button operation promotion effect in the button branch may be configured to notify the reliability that is a big hit in the same manner as the button operation promotion effect in the button notice. On the other hand, when the button branching step is not selected as the second notice step, that is, when the button branch notice is not performed, as shown in FIG. The character image 92T displayed in the second notice step is displayed, then the image fades out, and the button branch notice is finished. In this case, an effect that can use the operation button 30 is not performed, and button branch notice is not substantially performed.

  When the button operation promotion effect as shown in (C) is performed, it is an operation effective period for effectively detecting the operation of the operation button 30 by the player. And if operation of the operation button 30 by the player is detected within the operation effective period, the execution of the button operation promotion effect is stopped as shown in FIG. Of the plurality of types of effect modes determined, a notice is given that a big hit will be made in any of the effect modes. Specifically, an effect of opening the parcel in the parcel image 96 and showing the contents (hereinafter also referred to as a notice content display effect) is performed. As a plurality of types of production modes, a plurality of production modes with different contents of the parcel are determined in advance, and one of these production modes is selected, and the contents of the parcel are displayed according to the selected production mode. Is done. Specifically, an image selected from images displaying gold bullion, bill bundles, and no content is displayed at a predetermined rate according to the game situation. In this example, the relationship of reliability that is a big hit is set as a relationship of gold bullion> bill bundle> contents. Thereafter, as shown in (G), the parcel image 96 is erased and the variable display is continued. (G) shows an example of a reach state. Thus, the timing when the reach state is reached is the same timing for the effect that proceeds by branching the button by (C) to (G) and the effect that proceeds without branching the button by (F) to (G). Controlled.

  On the other hand, when the operation of the operation button 30 by the player is not detected within the operation valid period, the display for opening the parcel is not performed as shown in (E). Therefore, the effect of showing the contents of the parcel is not performed, and thereafter, as shown in (G), the parcel image 96 is deleted and the variable display is continued.

  In this way, in the button branch notice, when the operation button 30 is operated by the player, the contents of the parcel corresponding to the reliability of the jackpot are displayed, so that the interest of the player can be improved. .

  In addition, as the notice content display effect in the button branch notice, it is only necessary to produce an effect so that the notice contents can be recognized in a distinguishable manner. Expectation of jackpot depends on character type), number image (expectation of jackpot depends on number type), character image (expectation on jackpot depends on character type), etc. These various images may be used. In addition, in the button branch notice, as the notice effect performed in response to the operation of the operation button 30, a predetermined effect indicating the degree of expectation that will be a big hit may be performed in addition to the notice content display effect. For example, in the button branch notice, as a notice effect performed in response to the operation of the operation button 30, instead of the notice contents display effect, an image of a predetermined character (the character appears in advance during the button operation promotion effect). Or may appear after a button operation.) An effect that says a different kind of dialogue depending on the degree of expectation of jackpot (an effect that says dialogue by character display, an effect that says speech by voice, or a dialogue by character display and voice) Any production of productions that say) may be performed.

  Next, the relationship between the first notice effect and the second notice effect when pseudo-variable display is performed will be described. FIG. 68 is a timing chart showing the relationship between the first notice effect and the second notice effect when pseudo-variable display is performed. In FIG. 68, (A) and (B) show the following states. (A) includes a fluctuating pattern, a state of a first step-up notice as a first notice effect, a second step-up notice state as a second notice effect, and a button notice as a first notice effect. The state of is shown. Also, (B) shows the specific production contents of the first step-up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice) and second step-up notice when the pseudo-variable display is performed. The specific contents of the (monitor notice) and the specific contents of the button notice are shown.

  As shown to (A), in a pseudo | simulation series, the fluctuation | variation display of multiple times including re-variation is performed like the 1st fluctuation | variation display-the 3rd fluctuation | variation display, for example. The display in the reach state is executed at the time of the last variation display such as the third variation display. As shown in (A), each of the first notice effect (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice, button notice) and second notice effect (monitor notice) is displayed in the first variation display in the pseudo-ream. This is performed at each fluctuation display of the first fluctuation display. As shown in (A), for each of the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, the first step-up notice and the third-stage change display in the pseudo-ream, the first step-up notice and the third step-up notice, -Step-up effect is performed in the third notice step. In the figure, the basic development notice, the reach branch notice, the button branch notice, and the button notice as the first step-up notice are shown in parallel. These notices are either of the first notice effects. Only one is executed. Also, the second step-up notice can be executed as the second notice effect in parallel with the first step-up notice or the button notice that is the first notice effect.

  In the case of the present embodiment, as shown in (B), for each of the first notice effect and the second notice effect, effects corresponding to the times of each change display of the first change display to the third change display (first time The start timing of the change notice to the third change notice is the timing after the elapse of a predetermined time from the start timing of each change display of the first change display to the third change display. For each of the first notice effect and the second notice effect, the end timing of the effects corresponding to the time of each change display of the first change display and the second change display (first change notice and second change notice) This is a timing before the end timing of each variation display of the first variation display and the second variation display. For each of the first notice effect and the second notice effect, the end timing of the effect corresponding to the third change display (the third change notice) is basically the timing before the end of the third change display. Yes, specifically the timing before the timing when the reach state occurs. That is, each of the first notice effect and the second notice effect is performed at a timing before the timing at which the reach state occurs.

  For each of the first notice effect and the second notice effect, the end timing of the effect corresponding to the third change display (the third change notice) is the third change display in the second step-up notice effect of (B). Control may be performed so that it may occur at a timing later than the timing at which the reach state occurs, as in step S3 of the third time. If the notice effect is performed at a timing later than the timing at which such a reach state occurs, the variation of the effect becomes abundant and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  Further, as shown in (B), for each of the first change notice to the third change notice in the first step-up notice, for example, step 1 to step 3 as in steps 1 to 3, respectively. A maximum of three notice steps (not shown in this example) are included. Similarly, as shown in (B), for each of the first change notice to the third change notice in the second step-up notice, for example, step A to step C, step S1 to step S1. A maximum of three notice steps of S3 is included. In this embodiment, the switching timing from the first step S1 to the second step S2 of the second step-up notice is more than the switching timing from the first step S1 to the second step S2 of the first step-up notice. The timing is set to be later. Further, the switching timing from the second step S2 to the third step S3 of the second step-up notice is later than the switching timing from the second step S2 to the step 3 of the first step-up notice. Is set to In this way, if the timing for switching the notice step differs between the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, the step proceeds by viewing the state of the other step-up notice when one of the step-up notices ends. You can check the progress of the step-up notice, so even if the notice effect becomes complicated, the player knows where to see the progress of the notice about the step-up notice. It can be prevented from disappearing. Further, the notice effect B of the button notice is performed at the same timing in each of the first notice at the time of change to the third notice at the time of change. Of the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, one of the step-up notices is the final notice step (step 3 for the first step-up notice, step 3 for the second step-up notice) On the condition that it is decided to step up to C), a prohibition process for prohibiting stepping up to the final notice step may be performed on the other notice of step up. If such a prohibition process is performed, since only one of the two system step-up notices is advanced to the final notice step, it is possible to prevent the production from becoming complicated. In addition, by performing two system step-up notices at the same time, even if one step-up notice ends, it is possible to produce an effect that the other step-up notice continues. The interest of the game can be improved.

  Since the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are executed independently, for example, even when the first step-up notice ends in the middle without stopping until the third change notice (when it is interrupted) In some cases, the second step-up notice is still continued. On the contrary, even when the second step-up notice is not completed until the third change notice and is terminated halfway (when it is interrupted), the first step-up notice may still continue. Therefore, multiple types of step-up notices that are controlled independently are performed in parallel, so that even if a certain step-up notice does not proceed until the third change notice, it continues even when it is interrupted (when it is interrupted) Due to the presence of the step-up notice being performed, it is possible to produce an effect that enables the player to maintain a sense of expectation. Further, since the first notice effect and the second notice effect can be executed in parallel, variations of the notice effect can be abundant, and the interest of the player can be improved.

  Next, specific examples of the third notice effect to the fifth notice effect executed during the variable display will be described with reference to the explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 70 and 71, the display screen of the effect display device 9 is shown by a rectangle as in the case of FIGS. 64 and 65.

  FIG. 69 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an effect operation in the effect display device 9 of the movable member 84 when the movable member notice is executed as an example of the third notice effect. In FIG. 69, (A) to (C) show the operation state of the movable member 84 when the movable member advance notice is executed during the pseudo-variable display. In FIG. 69, the illustration of the movable member 78, the upper effect LED 85a, the middle effect LED 85b, and the lower effect LED 85c is omitted for the decorative portion around the effect display device 9.

  Referring to FIG. 69, when the movable member is notified, the movable member 84 has a movable member operation A as shown in (A), a movable member operation B as shown in (B), and (C). It is made to operate | move in either operation | movement aspect with the movable member operation | movement C as shown to these. The movable member operation A shown in (A) is a notice pattern that rotates at a low speed as the first rotation speed. The movable member operation B shown in (B) is a notice pattern that rotates at a medium speed (higher than the first rotation speed) as the second rotation speed. The movable member operation C shown in (C) is a notice pattern that rotates at a high speed (a higher speed than the second rotation speed) as the third rotation speed.

  The selection ratio of the movable member operation is set so that the ratio of the rotating operation at a high speed is larger for the movable member operation selected as the movable member notice when the big hit is made, compared to the case where the big hit is not made. Specifically, with respect to the movable member operation A to the movable member operation C as the advance notice pattern of the movable member notice, when the order of the movable member operation A <movable member operation B <movable member operation C is executed, The reliability that is a big hit is set so that the ratio becomes high. As a result, the player sees in the order of low-speed operation as shown in (A) <medium-speed operation as shown in (B) <high-speed operation as shown in (C). The reliability of the big hit is set so that the ratio of the big hit becomes high.

  Thus, in the movable member notice, the interest of the player can be improved by operating the movable member 84 in an operation mode according to the reliability of the big hit.

  Next, a modified example of the movable member notice will be described. As a movable member for performing the movable member advance notice, a movable member including a plurality of movable bodies may be used instead of the movable member 84. For example, by using a movable member composed of a movable member (small movable component) as a plurality of (for example, three) movable bodies that can be individually operated, a movable member that can increase or decrease the number of movable members that are operated is used. Also good. As the movable member notice effect in that case, the notice effect form to be executed can be selected from a plurality of notice effect forms with different movable bodies to be operated according to the reliability of the big hit. For example, when the movable member operation A is selected, one movable member is operated, when the movable member operation B is selected, two movable members are operated, and when the movable member operation C is selected. The effect control microcomputer 100 may perform the control of operating the three movable members. The reliability of the big hit is set so that the movable member operation A <movable member operation B <movable member operation C. According to such a configuration, the player can recognize the reliability that is a big hit based on the effect operation mode of the movable member, that is, the number of movable members that operate.

  In addition, as a plurality of movable bodies that can be individually operated, a movable member composed of a plurality of (for example, three) movable members is used, and the movable members to be operated are made different according to the reliability of the big hit. It may be. For example, when the movable member operation A is selected, only the first movable member is operated, and when the movable member operation B is selected, only the second movable member is operated, and the movable member operation C is selected. The effect control microcomputer 100 may perform control to operate the plurality of movable members in order, such as sometimes operating only the third movable member. The reliability of the big hit is set so that the movable member operation A <movable member operation B <movable member operation C. According to such a configuration, the player can recognize the reliability that is a big hit based on the movable member effect operation mode of which movable member is the movable member to be operated. Further, for example, the movable member operation A is executed in the first fluctuation, the movable member operation A is executed in the second fluctuation, and then the movable member operation B is executed (the movable member operation A and the movable member operation B are performed). A plurality of movable member operations may be executed in one change. In addition, as a plurality of movable bodies that can be individually operated, a movable member composed of a plurality of (for example, three) movable members having different sizes is used, and the movable member that operates according to the reliability of the big hit. May be different. For example, when the movable member operation A is selected, the smallest first movable member is operated, and when the movable member operation B is selected, a second movable member larger than the first movable member is operated, When the movable member operation C is selected, the effect control microcomputer 100 may perform control to operate a third movable member larger than the second movable member. The reliability of the big hit is set so that the movable member operation A <movable member operation B <movable member operation C. According to such a configuration, the player can recognize the reliability that is a big hit based on the effect operation mode of the movable member, that is, the size of the movable member that operates. Further, as a plurality of movable bodies that can be individually operated, a movable member composed of a plurality of (for example, three) movable members having different shapes is used, and the movable member that operates according to the reliability that is a big hit. You may make it differ. As described above, when the notice effect is performed using a movable member including a plurality of movable bodies, the movable member to be operated may be different depending on the reliability that is a big hit.

  In addition, a plurality of movable bodies that can be individually operated may be used, and the operation timing may be varied according to the reliability that is a big hit. For example, you may vary the timing which operates a movable member according to the reliability which becomes a big hit. For example, while predetermining a plurality of operation timings including the start of fluctuation and associating those operation timings with a reliability level that is a big hit, the big hit is when the movable member is operated at the start of the fluctuation. You may control so that reliability may become the highest. In this way, the player can have a sense of expectation for the big hit for a long period of time from the start of the change to the end of the change. In addition, a plurality of operation timings including the start time of the reach state are determined in advance, and these operation timings are associated with the magnitude of reliability that is a big hit, and the movable member is operated at the start time of the reach state. However, it may be controlled so that the reliability of the big hit is the highest. In this way, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a reach effect with a high reliability that is a big hit may be executed. In addition, a plurality of operation timings including a start time when the production of the reach state develops (step up) is determined in advance, and these operation timings are associated with the degree of reliability that is a big hit, so that when the development of the reach production starts When the movable member is operated at, control may be performed so that the reliability of the big hit is the highest. In this way, since the movable member is operated at a timing that is advantageous to the player, such as when the reach production develops, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that it will almost be a big hit. .

  As in this modification, when the movable member to be operated varies according to the reliability of the big hit, the operation speed of the movable member is controlled to be different according to the reliability of the big hit. Also good. In other words, the operation speed of the movable member to be operated may be set and controlled such that the movable member operation A <movable member operation B <movable member operation C.

  FIG. 70 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example on the effect display device 9 when the mini character notice as an example of the fourth notice effect is executed. In FIG. 70, (A) to (E) show the display state when the mini character notice is executed during pseudo-variable display, as time elapses.

  FIG. 70 shows, as an example, a display state when the mini character notice is executed when the first step-up notice is executed. As described above, whether or not the mini character notice is executed and the notice pattern are determined separately from the other notice effects, so that the mini character notice is executed simultaneously with other notice effects or when the mini character notice is executed alone. There is.

  From the state where the production symbol as shown in (A) is stopped, the production symbol starts to change in all the symbol display areas 9L, 9C, 9R as shown in (B1), (B2), or (B3). At the stage, when the mini character notice is performed, a mini character image selected from a plurality of types of mini character images 961, 962, 963 is displayed on the effect display device 9.

  For example, the first mini character image 961 shown in (B1) is an insect-shaped mini character, and is displayed when the notice pattern of the mini character display A is selected. The second mini character image 962 shown in (B2) is a leaf-shaped mini character, and is displayed when the notice pattern of the mini character display B is selected. The third mini character image 963 shown in (B3) is a bird-shaped mini character, and is displayed when the notice pattern of the mini character display C is selected.

  For the mini character display A to the mini character display C as the notice patterns of the mini character notice, the reliability of the big hit is set in the order of the mini character display A <mini character display B <mini character display C, so that the ratio of the big hit thereafter increases. Has been. Thus, in the appearance from the player, in the order of the first mini character image 961 <the second mini character image 962 <the third mini character image 963, it becomes a big hit so that the ratio of the big hit after the display becomes high. Reliability is set.

  The mini character image is provided with a plurality of types of images including the first mini character image 961 to the third mini character image 963 for performing such a mini character notice. Regardless of whether or not, any mini character image is randomly selected and displayed. Therefore, the mini-character notice using the first mini-character image 961 to the third mini-character image 963 has a lower reliability than the other notice effects.

  Since the mini character image is an image with low visibility, when performing the mini character notice as in this embodiment, it is a notice effect that is easily overlooked by a player who has little gaming experience, Since it is possible to make a notice effect that the player does not need to miss, the satisfaction of the skilled player can be enhanced.

  As the mini character image, the mini character image may not be displayed at times other than the mini character notice, or the ratio of executing the mini character image at times other than the mini character notice may be extremely low. In this way, the reliability of the mini-character notice big hit becomes high, so that the player's attention can be drawn to the mini-character image. As for the mini character image, only the first mini character image 961 to the third mini character image 963 used for the mini character notice are limited so that the mini character image is not displayed at times other than the mini character notice, or the mini character is displayed at times other than the mini character notice. You may make it the ratio which performs an image extremely low. In this way, with respect to a specific mini character image used for the mini character notice, the reliability of the big hit of the mini character notice increases, so that the player's attention can be attracted to the mini character image.

  In addition, although the example which displays only one mini character image was shown as the mini character display which is a notice pattern of a mini character notice, it is not restricted to this, You may make it display a some mini character image as a mini character display. Further, when displaying a plurality of mini character images, an effect may be provided in which the number of mini character images to be displayed increases as time elapses. In this way, when a plurality of mini character images can be displayed, the reliability of the big hit may be set so that the larger the number of mini character images, the higher the ratio of the big hit after the notice.

  In addition, as the mini character display that is a notice pattern of the mini character notice, an example in which only the mini character image selected from different types of mini character images is displayed has been shown. Alternatively, mini character images having different image display sizes (display areas) may be displayed. When displaying the same type of mini character images with different display sizes, the reliability of the big hit may be set so that the larger the mini character image display size, the higher the percentage of the big hit after the notice. Good.

  In addition, as a mini character display that is a notice pattern of the mini character notice, a combination of mini character images selected from different types of mini character images may be displayed according to the reliability of the big hit. For example, a mini-character image to be displayed may be selected from three types of mini-character images, the selected mini-character image may be displayed, and the reliability of the big hit may vary depending on the combination of the displayed mini-character images. For example, for three types of mini character images, a mini character image selection table is provided for each mini character image with different ratios for determining whether or not to select according to the reliability of the big hit. Make a decision. As a result, since the ease of selecting a mini character image differs depending on the reliability that is a big hit, a combination of displayed mini character images (a mini character image may not be selected or only one mini character image may be selected) In other words, the reliability of the big hit can be made different. In this way, the fun of the production using the mini character image is improved, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved. It should be noted that a mini character image to be displayed in combination is provided with a predetermined mini character image combination selection table in a manner in which the selection ratio varies depending on the reliability that is a big hit, and the mini character image is selected using the mini character image combination selection table. The control may be performed to collectively select the combinations (the mini character image may not be selected or only one mini character image may be selected). In this way, it is possible to reduce the processing burden on the production control microcomputer 100 when selecting a combination of mini character images.

  As described above, in the mini character notice, the mini character image is displayed in a production manner corresponding to the reliability of the big hit, so that the interest of the player can be improved.

  FIG. 71 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example on the effect display device 9 when the group notice is executed as an example of the fifth notice effect. In FIG. 71, (A) to (J) show the display states when the group notice is executed during the pseudo-variable display as time elapses. The group notice is an effect of notifying that a big hit will be obtained by displaying a plurality of images of the same or different types of characters, figures, character strings, etc. in groups.

  In FIG. 71, as an example, a display state when the group notice is executed when the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are executed is shown. As described above, whether or not the group notice is executed and the notice pattern are determined separately from the other notice effects, so that when the group notice is executed simultaneously with other notice effects or when the group notice is executed alone. There is.

  After the effect symbols as shown in (A) are stopped, the effect symbols start to change in all symbol display areas 9L, 9C, 9R as shown in (B), and then (C) to (F As shown in (), the effect symbols are stopped as the variation time elapses. Then, as shown in (F), when the same stop symbols come together and reach the state in the stage where the effect symbols stop in the “left” and “right” symbol display areas 9L and 9R, as shown in (G). Then, the operation button image 9Q is displayed, and a button operation promotion effect for urging the player to operate the operation button 30 is performed. As the button operation promotion effect, an operation request message image 9S as shown in FIG. 64 may be displayed together with the button notice. The button operation promotion effect is performed in any effect mode such as display on the display screen of the effect display device 9, sound output of the speaker 27, and operation of the movable member, as in the case of the button notice described above. Also good.

  When the button operation promotion effect is performed, an operation effective period for effectively detecting the operation of the operation button 30 by the player is set. Then, when an operation of the operation button 30 by the player is detected within the operation effective period, at the timing when the operation is detected, the execution of the button operation promotion effect is stopped as shown in FIG. A group display as a notice pattern is performed. The group display is a display for giving a big hit notice by displaying a group of predetermined character images. Specifically, in the case of this embodiment, as a character image used in the group notice, as shown in (H), the same type of human character as the character images 91T, 92T, and 93T used in the first step-up notice A group display for displaying a group of images 94 is performed. In the group display, for example, as shown in (H), a display in which a large number of character images 94 appear in groups is performed. It should be noted that even when the button operation promotion effect is performed and the operation of the operation button 30 by the player is detected within the operation effective period, the group notice may not be executed at a predetermined rate. . If it does so, the interest about displaying a group notice increases, and the interest of a game can be improved.

  As the group display, any one of the plurality of types of presentation modes is selected, and the group display according to the selected production mode is performed. In the case of this embodiment, as a plurality of types of effect modes that can be selected for the group notice, a plurality of types of effect modes with different numbers of character images 94 displayed as a group are provided. In the example shown in FIG. 71, the character image 94 displayed in the group notice is an image of the same type as the character image used for other effects. Can be improved.

  There are four notice patterns for the group notice: group display A, group display B, group display C, and group display D. The notice pattern to be displayed is selected and determined from these notice patterns. Is done. The group display A to the group display D display the same kind of character images 94 as described above, and characters displayed in groups in the order of group display A <group display B <group display C = group display D. The number of images 94 is large. The group display C and the group display D may be different depending on, for example, whether or not a specific character image is included in the character image 94 displayed in the group. The number of character images 94 to be displayed may be different.

  In addition, for the group display A to group display C as the notice pattern of the group notice, in the order of group display A <group display B <group display C = group display D, the ratio of the big hit after that is displayed. The reliability that is a big hit is set so as to increase. As a result, when viewed from the player, the order of group display A <group display B <group display C and group display D, that is, as the number of character images 94 displayed in the group increases, The reliability of the big hit is set so that the ratio of the big hit becomes high. As will be described later, the group display C is set to have a high degree of reliability that is a big hit other than the probability change big hit (hereinafter also referred to as a non-probable big hit), whereas the county display D is a probability change big hit. The reliability is set to be high.

  In addition, as the effect mode of the group display, any effect mode may be selected from a plurality of types of effect modes in which the types of character images displayed in the group are different (the number of character images is the same and the character image is the same). The type of character image may be set so that the reliability level that is a big hit is distinguished, the type of character image that is distinguished from the level of reliability that is a big hit, and the type of character image that has a high reliability level that is a big hit It may be set so that the number of character images to be displayed in a group increases as the value increases.) In addition, as a group display effect mode, any one of the effect modes can be selected from a plurality of types of effect modes in which at least one of the types of character images and the number of character images displayed in the group is different. May be. Further, as a group display effect mode, character images used only for the group notice effect may be displayed in groups, and as shown in FIG. 71, character images used in other effects may be displayed in groups. . In addition, as an effect mode of group display, any effect mode may be selected from a plurality of types of effect modes in which colors such as colors of character images displayed in groups are different. In addition, as an effect mode of group display, a character image scheduled to be displayed in a group after reaching a reach state is displayed in advance in a manner that does not form a group in a stage before entering the reach state (for example, A number of character images that do not form one group are displayed in advance), and the character images may be displayed in groups after reaching the reach state. If it does in that way, in group notice, since a production connection is produced before and after the reach state, the interest of production can be improved. The group notice may be executed not only after reaching the reach state but also before reaching the reach state. At that time, the group advance notice may be executed each time the pseudo-series change (re-change) is executed. However, when a group notice is executed every time a pseudo-series change (re-change) is performed, the reliability that becomes a big hit every time the change is performed by performing the same prohibition processing as other notice effects. It is necessary to select the group display in such a manner that does not decrease.

  Thus, in the group notice, the group display is performed in the production mode according to the reliability of the big hit, so that the interest of the player can be improved.

  In this embodiment, the notice effect that is executed in response to the operation button 30 being operated has been described as the fifth notice effect that is performed after reaching the reach state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fifth notice effect that is performed after reaching the reach state may be a notice effect that is executed regardless of the operation of the operation button 30. In addition, as the fifth notice effect performed after reaching the reach state, an example in which group notice is performed is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fifth notice effect may be a notice effect that produces an effect other than the group notice. For example, as the fifth notice effect, an effect other than the group notice such as a step-up notice or a mini character notice may be performed.

  FIG. 72 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200 stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100. The first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200 is a table that is referred to in order to decide whether or not to execute the first notice effect, or the notice pattern type in the case of execution. In the first notice effect presentation pattern type determination table 200, the random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type indicates “no first notice effect” and “button notice” in accordance with the change pattern indicated in the change pattern designation command. It is assigned to either the notice pattern type CY1 that is the notice pattern type or the notice pattern type CY2 that is the “first step-up notice”.

  In the setting of the first announcement effect notice pattern type determination table 200, a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “non-reach deviation variation” (hereinafter referred to as a non-reach deviation deviation pattern) and a fluctuation in which the fluctuation display result is “reach deviation”. A pattern (hereinafter referred to as “reach off variation pattern”) and a variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as a “big hit variation pattern”) whose variation display result is “big hit”, “no first notice effect”, “button notice”, and “ The value of the random number SR7 corresponding to each selection item is set so that the allocation for each selection item of the “first step-up notice” is different.

  Specifically, in the setting of the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200, there is no first notice effect in the case of the big hit fluctuation pattern than in the case of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the case of the reach deviation deviation pattern. A small percentage is selected. Thereby, when it is a big hit, the first notice effect is more easily performed than when it is a loss. Thereby, when the first notice effect by the button notice or the first step-up notice is performed, it is possible to enhance the player's expectation about the occurrence of the big hit.

  Further, in the setting of the first notice effect presentation pattern type determination table 200, the ratio of selecting the button notice is larger for the big hit fluctuation pattern than for the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the reach deviation deviation pattern. Many. As a result, when the big hit is made, the first notice effect of the button notice is more easily performed than when it is lost, so when the notice effect is given by the button notice, the player's expectation about the occurrence of the big hit is increased. be able to. In addition, the ratio of the button notice is selected more in the case of the reach deviation variation pattern than in the case of the non-reach deviation variation pattern.

  Further, in the setting of the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200, the first step-up notice is selected for the big hit fluctuation pattern than for the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the reach deviation deviation pattern. There are many ratios. As a result, when a big hit is made, it is easier for the first step-up notice to be produced than when the player is out of play. Can be increased. In addition, the ratio of the first step-up notice is selected more in the case of the reach deviation variation pattern than in the case of the non-reach deviation variation pattern.

  Also, in the setting of the first notice effect presentation pattern type determination table 200, the button notice is selected for the big hit fluctuation pattern compared to the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the reach deviation deviation pattern. Is greater than the rate at which the first step-up notice is selected. Thereby, when a big hit is made, the button notice is more easily selected than the first step-up notice. Therefore, when the button advance notice is selected, the player's sense of expectation regarding the occurrence of the big hit can be enhanced more than when the first step-up advance notice is selected. It should be noted that the distribution of the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200 may be set so that the first step-up notice is more easily selected than the button notice when it is off. In addition, the ratio of the first step-up notice is selected in the case of the big hit fluctuation pattern compared with the case of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the case of the reach deviation deviation pattern. You may set so that it may become more. In addition, the ratio of selecting the button notice and the ratio of selecting the first step-up notice are the same for the big hit fluctuation pattern, the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern, and the reach deviation deviation pattern. You may set so that.

  FIG. 72 shows an example in which there are two types of notice pattern types that can be selected as the notice effect, namely button notice and first step notice. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the notice pattern types that can be selected as the notice effect may be three or more kinds. FIG. 72 shows an example in which only one of a plurality of types of notice pattern types is selected as a selectable notice pattern type. The reason for this is to prevent the effects from overlapping on the display screen of the effect display device 9 when the effect of the announcement is executed simultaneously with a plurality of types of the notice pattern. Therefore, when a plurality of types of notice pattern types are provided on the display screen of the effect display device 9 so that the effects do not overlap, a process for selecting whether or not to execute each of the notice pattern types is performed. Depending on the type, a plurality of selected notice pattern types may be executed simultaneously.

  In the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200 shown in FIG. 72, for each of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern, the reach deviation fluctuation pattern, and the big hit fluctuation pattern, according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the fluctuation pattern, Different ratios are selected for each of the first notice effect, the button notice, and the first step-up notice (for example, the higher the number of pseudo-continuous fluctuations, the higher the ratio for selecting the first notice effect). You may do it. Further, in the first notice effect presentation pattern type determination table 200, the ratio of selecting the button notice and the ratio of selecting the first step-up notice are made different according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the variation pattern. It may be. Also, in the first notice effect presentation pattern type determination table 200, there is no first notice effect, button notice, and first step-up notice depending on whether or not a big hit is made and the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the fluctuation pattern. (For example, the greater the number of pseudo-continuous fluctuations, the higher the ratio at which the first notice effect is selected, and the ratio at which the first notice effect is selected when the jackpot is reached) May be increased).

  When execution of the first step-up notice is selected by using the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200, basic advance notice, reach branch notice, and Select and decide which of the button branch notices to execute.

  FIG. 73 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a first step-up notice content determination table stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100. FIG. When the first step-up notice content determination table is selected to execute the first step-up notice, any one of the basic advance notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice is used as the first step up notice. It is a table that is referred to in order to select and decide whether to execute. In the first step-up notice content determination table, the random number SR20 for determining the first step-up notice content is changed to “basic development notice”, “reach branch notice”, according to the variation pattern indicated in the variation pattern designation command. , "Button branch notice" is assigned.

  In the setting of the first step-up notice content determination table, the fluctuation display results are “non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern”, “reach deviation fluctuation pattern”, and “big hit fluctuation pattern”, “basic development notice”, “reach branch” The value of the random number SR20 corresponding to each selection item is set so that the allocation for each selection item of “notice” and “button branch notice” is different.

  In the setting of the first step-up notice content determination table, specifically, in the case of the big hit fluctuation pattern, the selection ratio is high because of the relation of button branch notice> reach branch notice> basic development notice. In addition, when the reach deviation variation pattern is selected, the ratio of selection is high because of reach branch notice> button branch notice> basic development notice. In the case of a non-reach shift variation pattern, the ratio of selection is high due to the relationship of basic advance notice> reach branch notice> button branch notice. Therefore, when the button branch notice is executed, the reliability of the big hit is the highest, so that the player's sense of expectation for the big hit can be enhanced most. In addition, when the button branch notice or the reach branch notice is executed, the reliability of the reach state is higher than when the basic advance notice is performed. The expectation about becoming a big hit from the state can be raised.

  In the first step-up notice content determination table, each of the basic advance notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice is selected and decided according to whether or not it is a big hit and the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the fluctuation pattern. (For example, the greater the number of pseudo-variables, the higher the rate at which the button branch notice is selected, and the higher the rate at which the button branch notice is selected for a big hit) Also good.

  In addition, the jackpot button notice selection table, the reach out button notice selection table, the non-reach out button notice selection table, the big hit basic development notice selection table, the reach out basic development notice selection table, and the non reach out basis For each of the advance notice selection tables, three or two tables are provided as tables (notice message decision table and notice step decision table) used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the first change, An example of using different tables according to the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-ream was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created by sharing three or two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the first change, and the one table is used in the presence or absence of the pseudo-series and the pseudo-series. The notice selection table may be set so as to be commonly used according to the number of fluctuations. Specifically, for example, in the case of a big hit button notice selection table, the first notice message determination table 201A, the second notice message determination table 201B, and the fourth notice message determination table 201D are shared. In the case of the non-reach off button notice selection table, the thirteenth notice message determination table 201M and the fourteenth notice message determination table 201N are shared by one table so as to be a big hit. Further, the table is shared depending on whether or not the reach is reached in the case of detachment.

  In addition, for each of the big hit button notice selection table, the reach out button notice selection table, the big hit basic development notice selection table, and the reach out basic development notice selection table, the notice pattern determination at the time of the second change is made. In this example, two tables are provided as the tables used for the purpose (notice message determination table and notice step determination table), and the tables are used depending on the presence / absence of the pseudo-series and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-series. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created in which two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the second change are created. Accordingly, the notice selection table may be set so as to be used in common. Specifically, for example, in the case of the big hit button notice selection table, whether the third notice message determination table 201C and the fifth notice message determination table 201E are shared by one table or not is determined whether or not it is a big hit. Separate and share the table.

  As described above, when a common table is used as the notice selection table, either the notice selection table for the first change time or the notice selection table for the second change time may be shared, In addition, both the first change time notice selection table and the second change time notice selection table may be shared.

  Next, the contents of the first notice message determination table 201A to the sixth notice message determination table 201F used when the variable display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 76 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the first notice message determination table 201A to the sixth notice message determination table 201F.

  In FIG. 76, (A) to (F) show the first notice message determination table 201A to the sixth notice message determination table 201F. Each notice message determination table shows the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR8 and the display content of the notice message to be selected (the notice message in the figure).

  In the first notice message determination table 201A of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, based on the extracted value of the random number SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “REACH”, “extreme heat”, Settings are made so that any one of the notice messages “FEVER” and “GOOD LUCK” is selected. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern is “no pseudo-ream”, one of these messages is selected and displayed as a notice message. In the first notice message determination table 201A, SR8 is set so that the ratio of the notice message selected is “.. Numeric data is set.

  Note that “...” Of the notice messages used in the first notice message determination table 201 </ b> A may not be selected. In that way, when a big hit is caused by the fluctuation pattern of “no pseudo-ream”, the player is given the impression that the button notice is not executed or that the notice message is not displayed by the button notice. It is possible to prevent the reliability of the notice from being lowered excessively.

  In the second notice message determination table 201B of (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “extreme heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. Is set so that no other notice message is selected. Therefore, in the first fluctuation when the fluctuation pattern is “twice pseudo-continuous”, any one of “...”, “CHANCE”, “Intense heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” is selected as the notice message. Displayed. In the second notice message determination table 201B, the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of the notice message selected is “... >>“ CHANCE ”>“ Intense heat ”>“ GOOD LUCK ”. . As shown in (B), in the second notice message determination table 201B, as compared with the first notice message determination table 201A, the ratio of “...”, “REACH”, and “FEVER” is selected. SR8 numerical data is set so that the ratio of selecting “CHANCE”, “extreme heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” increases.

  In the third notice message determination table 201C of (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “REACH”, “extreme heat”, Settings are made so that any one of the notice messages “FEVER” and “GOOD LUCK” is selected. Therefore, in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice”, any one of these messages is selected and displayed as a notice message. In the third notice message determination table 201C, basically, the ratio that the notice message is selected is “...”, “CHANCE”> “REACH”> “Intense heat”> “GOOD LUCK”> “FEVER”. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that Also, in the third notice message determination table 201C, the ratio of selecting “...” Is lower than in the second notice message determination table 201B, and “CHANCE”, “REACH”, “Fever”, “FEVER” ”And“ GOOD LUCK ”are set so that the ratio of selecting each of them becomes high.

  However, with respect to the third notice message determination table 201C, the “pseudo-continuation 2” is set in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect being executed from being lowered compared to the notice effect selected previously. For the second (this time) change of “Time”, a prohibition process that prohibits the selection of the notice effect that is less reliable than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “Pseudo-Two times” (notice message) Forbidden processing). For example, when “CHANCE” is selected based on the second notice message determination table 201B in the first (previous) fluctuation of “pseudo-continuous twice”, the second (current) fluctuation of “pseudo-continuous twice” , A prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “...” Having a low reliability is not selected.

  The contents of the prohibition processing of such a notice message are as follows, for example. When selecting and determining a notice message as a notice pattern before executing the pseudo-variable display, the previous notice message data for identifying the decided notice message is selected according to the selection of the notice message. The data indicating the pattern is stored (updated) in the previous notice message storage area of the RAM. Data indicating the previous notice pattern in the RAM is updated and stored every time a notice message is selected and determined for each variation in the pseudo-series. When the notice message is selected and determined for the second and subsequent fluctuations (revariations) in the pseudo-ream, each time the notice message is selected and determined, for example, a message determination table such as the third notice message determination table 201C is selected. The reliability of the big hit is compared with the previous notice message specified by the previous notice message data for the current selection notice message which is the notice message. When the selected prior notice message is lower in reliability than the previous notice message, the previous notice message content is determined as the notice message in the current fluctuation so as not to decide the notice message whose reliability is lower than the previous fluctuation. . On the other hand, when the reliability of the current selection notice message is equal to or higher than the reliability of the previous notice message, the current selection notice message is determined as the notice message in the current variation. Specifically, the comparison of the reliability that becomes a big hit about the notice pattern in the prohibition processing as described above is performed as follows. For each of the types of notice messages, for example, flags having different numerical values are associated with each other in advance (for example, the flag value is set so that the higher the reliability that is a big hit, the larger the numerical value). The flag corresponding to the type of the notice message is set as data indicating the previous notice message. Then, the flag set as the previous notice message is compared with the flag corresponding to the notice message in the current variation, and based on the magnitude relationship of the numerical value of the flag, which is the current notice message or the previous notice message Judge whether reliability is high.

  In the fourth notice message determination table 201D of (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, based on the extracted value of the random number SR8, “. Is set so that no other notice message is selected. Therefore, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “3 pseudo-reams”, any one of “...”, “CHANCE”, “Intense heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” is selected as the notice message. Displayed. In the fourth notice message determination table 201D, the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio at which the notice message is selected is “... >>“ CHANCE ”>“ Intense heat ”>“ GOOD LUCK ”. . As shown in (D), in the fourth notice message determination table 201D, compared with the second notice message determination table 201B, the ratio of selecting “...” And “CHANCE” is lower. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting “heat” and “GOOD LUCK” is high.

  In the fifth notice message determination table 201E in (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “extreme heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. Is set so that no other notice message is selected. Therefore, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “Pseudo three times”, any one of “...”, “CHANCE”, “Intense heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” is selected as the notice message. Displayed. As shown in (E), in the fifth notice message determination table 201E, the ratio at which “...” Is selected is lower than in the fourth notice message determination table 201D, and “CHANCE”, “Intense heat”. And the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting each of “GOOD LUCK” becomes high.

  However, with respect to the fifth notice message determination table 201E, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the second (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “CHANCE” is selected based on the fourth notice message determination table 201D for the first (previous) change of “3 pseudo-reams”, the second (current) of “3rd pseudo-reams” is selected. In the fluctuation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “...” Having a low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the notification message prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the fifth notification message determination table 201E.

  In the sixth notice message determination table 201F of (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, "...", "CHANCE", "REACH", "Intense heat", based on the extracted value of the random number SR8, Settings are made so that any one of the notice messages “FEVER” and “GOOD LUCK” is selected. Accordingly, in the third variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times”, any one of these messages is selected and displayed as a notice message. In the sixth notice message determination table 201F, basically, the ratio at which the notice message is selected is “extreme heat”> “...”, “CHANCE”, “REACH”> “GOOD LUCK”> “FEVER”. Numerical data is set so that Further, in the sixth notice message determination table 201F, the ratio of selecting “...” And “CHANCE” is lower than in the fifth notice message determination table 201E, and “REACH” and “Intense heat”. , “FEVER” and “GOOD LUCK” are set so that the ratio of selecting each of them becomes high.

  However, with respect to the sixth notice message determination table 201F, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed, compared to the notice effect selected last time, For the third time (current) change of “Time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “CHANCE” is selected based on the fifth notice message determination table 201E in the second (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, the third (current) of “pseudo three times” is selected. In the fluctuation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “...” Having a low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the notification message prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the sixth notification message determination table 201F.

  Next, the contents of the seventh notice message determination table 201G to the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O used when the fluctuation display result is out of place (including both reach out and non reach out) will be described. FIG. 77 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the seventh notice message determination table 201G to the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O.

  77, the seventh notice message determination table 201G to the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O are shown in (A) to (I). Each notice message determination table shows the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR8 and the display content of the notice message to be selected (the notice message in the figure).

  In the seventh notice message determination table 201G of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, based on the extracted value of the random number SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “REACH”, “extreme heat”, In addition, a setting is made so that any one of the “GOOD LUCK” notice messages is selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-ream” that is out of reach, any one of these messages is selected and displayed as a notice message. In the seventh notice message determination table 201G, the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of the notice message selected is “... >>“ CHANCE ”>“ REACH ”>“ GOOD LUCK ”>“ extreme heat ”. Is set. As shown to (A), in the 7th notice message determination table 201G, compared with the 1st notice message determination table 201A at the time of a big hit, each ratio of "..." and "CHANCE" is selected. The SR8 numerical data is set so that the rate at which “high heat” is selected decreases and becomes higher. Note that the ratios of selecting “GOOD LUCK” and “REACH” are the same.

  In the eighth notice message determination table 201H in (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “extreme heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” are based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. Is set so that no other notice message is selected. Therefore, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” that is out of reach, one of “...”, “CHANCE”, “extreme heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” will be notified. Selected as a message and displayed. As shown in (B), in the eighth notice message determination table 201H, the ratio of selecting “...” And “REACH” is lower than in the seventh notice message determination table 201G. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of each of “Intense heat” and “GOOD LUCK” to be selected increases. In addition, in the eighth notice message determination table 201H, the ratio of “...” and “GOOD LUCK” to be selected is higher than that in the second notice message determination table 201B in the case of a big hit, and “CHANCE” is selected. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting each of “Intense heat” is low.

  In the ninth notice message determination table 201I of (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, based on the extracted value of the random number SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “REACH”, “extreme heat”, In addition, a setting is made so that any one of the “GOOD LUCK” notice messages is selected. Accordingly, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “reverse pseudo-twice” which is out of reach, one of these messages is selected and displayed as the notice message. In the ninth notice message determination table 201I, a numerical value is basically set so that the ratio of the notice message to be selected is “. Data is set. Also, in the ninth notice message determination table 201I, the ratio of selecting “...”, “CHANCE”, and “GOOD LUCK” is lower than in the eighth notice message determination table 201H. The SR8 numerical data is set so that the ratio of selecting “REACH” and “extreme heat” is high. Also, in the ninth notice message determination table 201I, the ratio of selecting “...” Is higher than in the third notice message determination table 201C when a big hit is made, and other notice messages are selected. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio is low.

  However, with respect to the ninth notice message determination table 201I, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 2 For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “CHANCE” is selected based on the eighth notice message determination table 201H, the setting is changed so that “... Prohibition processing is performed. Specifically, as the prohibition processing, the notification message prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the ninth notification message determination table 201I.

  In the tenth notice message determination table 201J in (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, based on the extracted value of the random number SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “Intense heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” Is set so that no other notice message is selected. Therefore, in the first fluctuation when the fluctuation pattern is “3 pseudo-ream” fluctuations, it is noticed that any one of “...”, “CHANCE”, “Intense heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” Selected as a message and displayed. As shown in (D), in the tenth notice message determination table 201J, the ratio of selecting “...” Is lower than in the eighth notice message determination table 201H, and “CHANCE”, “Intense heat”. And the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting each of “GOOD LUCK” becomes high. In addition, in the tenth notice message determination table 201J, compared to the fourth notice message determination table 201D in the case of a big hit, the ratio of “... ”And“ GOOD LUCK ”are set so that the ratio of selecting the respective values is low.

  In the eleventh notice message determination table 201K of (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “extreme heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. Is set so that no other notice message is selected. Therefore, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement three times” of out of reach, any one of “...”, “CHANCE”, “Intense heat” and “GOOD LUCK” Is displayed as selected. As shown in (E), in the eleventh notice message determination table 201K, “CHANCE”, “extreme heat”, and “GOOD LUCK” are selected at a higher rate than in the tenth notice message determination table 201J. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that In addition, in the eleventh notice message determination table 201K, each of “...”, “CHANCE”, and “GOOD LUCK” is selected higher than the fifth notice message determination table 201E that is a big hit. Therefore, the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting “Intense heat” is low.

  However, with respect to the eleventh notice message determination table 201K, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the second (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “CHANCE” is selected based on the tenth notice message determination table 201J for the first (previous) change of “3 pseudo-reams”, the second (current) of “3 pseudo-reams” is selected. In the fluctuation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “...” Having a low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the notification message prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the eleventh notification message determination table 201K.

  In the twelfth notice message determination table 201L of (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, “...”, “CHANCE”, “REACH”, “extreme heat”, In addition, a setting is made so that one of the notice messages of “GOOD LUCK” is selected. Accordingly, in the third fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “reasonable three times” that is out of reach, one of these messages is selected and displayed as a notice message. In the twelfth notice message determination table 201L, basically, the ratio that the notice message is selected is a numerical value such that “CHANCE”> “... >>“ REACH ”>“ extreme heat ”>“ GOOD LUCK ”. Data is set. In addition, in the twelfth notice message determination table 201L, the ratio of selecting “...”, “CHANCE”, and “extreme heat” is lower than in the eleventh notice message determination table 201K. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting “REACH”, “FEVER”, and “GOOD LUCK” is increased.

  However, with respect to the twelfth notice message determination table 201L, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the third time (current) change of “Time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “CHANCE” is selected based on the eleventh notice message determination table 201K in the second (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, the third (current) of “pseudo three times” is selected. In the fluctuation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “...” Having a low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the notification message prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the twelfth notification message determination table 201L. In the twelfth notice message determination table 201L, the ratio of “...” And “REACH” to be selected is higher than in the sixth notice message determination table 201F in the case of a big hit, and “CHANCE”, “ The numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting each of “Fever”, “FEVER”, and “GOOD LUCK” is low.

  In the thirteenth notice message determination table 201M in (G), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, one of the notice messages of “...” And “CHANCE” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. The other notice message is set not to be selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-ream” that is out of reach, either “...” Or “CHANCE” is selected and displayed as a notice message. In the thirteenth notice message determination table 201M, the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio at which the notice message is selected is “... >>“ CHANCE ”.

  In the fourteenth notice message determination table 201N of (H), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8, one of the notice messages of “...” And “CHANCE” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. The other notice message is set not to be selected. Therefore, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “non-reach” “pseudo-continuous two times”, either “...” Or “CHANCE” is selected and displayed as the notice message. In the fourteenth notice message determination table 201N, the numerical data of SR8 is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice message is selected is “... >>“ CHANCE ”. As shown in (H), in the fourteenth notice message determination table 201N, the ratio at which “...” Is selected is lower than in the thirteenth notice message determination table 201M, and the ratio at which “CHANCE” is selected. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that becomes higher. Further, in the fourteenth notice message determination table 201N, the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting “...” Is higher than that in the eighth notice message determination table 201H at the time of “reach out”. Has been.

  In the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O in (I), one of the notice messages “...” And “CHANCE” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8 as shown in the numerical value setting of SR8. The other notice message is set not to be selected. Accordingly, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “non-reach” “pseudo-continuous twice”, either “...” Or “CHANCE” is selected and displayed as the notice message. In the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O, the SR8 numerical data is basically set so that the ratio of the notice message selection is “... >>“ CHANCE ”. As shown in (I), in the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O, the ratio that “...” Is selected is lower than in the fourteenth notice message determination table 201N, and the ratio that “CHANCE” is selected. The numerical data of SR8 is set so that becomes higher. Also, in the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O, the numerical data of SR8 is set so that the ratio of selecting “...” Is higher than that in the ninth notice message determination table 201I at the time of “reach out”. Has been.

  However, with respect to the fifteenth notice message determination table 201O, in order to prevent the reliability that the jackpot gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed, compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuation 2” is set. For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “CHANCE” is selected based on the 14th notice message determination table 201N for the first (previous) change of “2 pseudo-continuations”, the second (current) of “2 pseudo-continuations” is selected. In the fluctuation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “...” Having a low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as the prohibition processing, the notification message prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the fifteenth notification message determination table 201O.

  In addition, for each of the notice message determination tables as described above, the upper limit value of the random number value used for selecting and determining the notice message is set differently for the first change, the second change, and the third change. May be. By doing so, it is possible to vary the selection distribution.

  In the production control microcomputer 100, the notice message prohibition process as described above is performed by selecting and determining in advance the content of the notice message at the start (before the start) of the fluctuation display of the pseudo-series for all the fluctuations in the pseudo-series. This is done when making the selection decision. Then, in the production control microcomputer 100, the content of the notice message selected and determined at the start of the pseudo-variable display is stored in the RAM, and the button notice at the time of all the fluctuations in the pseudo-series is based on the stored information. Control to be performed is performed. Further, in the production control microcomputer 100, the first step-up advance notice step prohibition process described later and the second step-up advance notice step prohibition process described later are also simulated for all variations in the pseudo-ream. This is performed when the contents of the advance notice step are selected and determined in advance at the start (before the start) of the continuous variation display, and the selection is determined. Then, in the production control microcomputer 100, the content of the notice step selected and determined at the start of the pseudo-series variable display is stored in the RAM, and on the basis of the stored information, the step-up notice at the time of all changes in the pseudo-series. Control to perform is performed.

  Further, the notice message prohibition process as described above may be executed on condition that the contents of the notice message are actually displayed in response to the operation button 30 being operated.

  Next, the contents of the first notice step determination table 202A to the sixth notice step determination table 202F used when the variable display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 78 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the first notice step determination table 202A to the sixth notice step determination table 202F.

  In each notice step determination table for determining the notice step of the first step-up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice) shown in the following description, the data “step 1” is the step of the notice step. Data indicating that 1 is displayed. Therefore, when the notice step data of step 1 is selected, an effect is produced in which the notice step advances to step 1 for example. In the notice step determination table described below, the data “step 2” is data indicating that it is displayed up to step 2 of the notice step. Therefore, when the notice step data of step 2 is selected, for example, the notice step is advanced to step 2 such that step 1 and step 2 are performed. The data “step 3” is data indicating that the display is performed up to step 3 of the advance notice step. Therefore, when the notice step data of step 3 is selected, for example, the notice step is advanced to step 3 such as step 1, step 2, and step 3.

  78, (A) to (F) show the first notice step determination table 202A to the sixth notice step determination table 202F. Each notice step determination table shows the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR9 and the display contents of the notice step selected (notice step in the figure).

  In the first notice step determination table 202A of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, “none (do not display the notice step)”, “step 1”, “step” based on the extracted value of random number SR9. Settings are made such that either “2” or “Step 3” is selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous”, any one of “none”, “step 1”, “step 2”, and “step 3” is selected and displayed as a notice step. In the first notice step determination table 202A, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “none”> “step 1”> “step 2”> “step 3”.

  Note that “None (do not display the notice step)” among the notice steps used in the first notice step determination table 202A may not be selected. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the first step-up notice from being executed when a big hit is caused by the fluctuation pattern of “no pseudo-ream”, and to prevent the reliability of the notice from being excessively lowered. be able to.

  In the second notice step determination table 202B in (B), any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9 as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9. Is set so that no other notice step is selected. Therefore, in the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”, any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected, and “step 1” or “step 2” is selected. A notice step is displayed when “Step 2” is selected. In the second notice step determination table 202B, the numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio for the notice step is “step 1”> “step 2”> “none”. Further, in the second notice step determination table 202B, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of the notice steps including “Step 1” and “Step 2” is higher than that in the first notice step determination table 202A. Is set.

  In the third notice step determination table 202C of (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, either “Step 2” or “Step 3” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. It is set to do. Therefore, in the second variation when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is selected, one of “step 2” and “step 3” is selected, and one of these is selected as the notice step. Displayed. In the third notice step determination table 202C, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step 2”> “step 3”. Also, in the third notice step determination table 202C, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that “none” and “step 1” are not selected as compared with the second notice step determination table 202B. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the third notice step determination table 202C as compared with the notice effect selected previously. That is, for the second (this time) change at the time of the big hit “pseudo-continuous 2 times”, the first step of “pseudo-continuous 2” is selected by selecting the advance step using the third advance step determination table 202C. The prohibition process for prohibiting selection of the notice effect having lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the previous variation is performed.

  In the fourth notice step determination table 202D of (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. Is set so that no other notice step is selected. Therefore, in the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times”, any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected, and “step 1” or “step 2” is selected. A notice step is displayed when “Step 2” is selected. In the fourth notice step determination table 202D, the numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio for the notice step is “step 1”> “step 2”> “none”. In the fourth notice step determination table 202D, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “step 2” is selected is higher than that in the second notice step determination table 202B.

  In the fifth notice step determination table 202E of (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, based on the extracted value of the random number SR9, among the “step 1”, “step 2”, and “step 3” Either one is selected, and settings are made so that no other notice step is selected. Therefore, in the second variation when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” is selected, any one of “Step 1”, “Step 2”, and “Step 3” is selected. Is selected and displayed as the advance notice step. In the fifth notice step determination table 202E, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step 2”> “step 3”> “step 1”. In the fifth notice step determination table 202E, numerical data of SR9 is set so that “None” is not selected as compared with the fourth notice step determination table 202B. In the fifth notice step determination table 202E, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of selecting “Step 3” is higher than that in the third notice step determination table 202C.

  However, with respect to the fifth notice step determination table 202E, in order to prevent the reliability that the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the second (this time) change of “time”, a prohibition process that prohibits selection of a notice effect that is less reliable than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times” (notice step) Forbidden processing). For example, when “step 2” is selected based on the fourth notice step determination table 202D for the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, the second (current) of “pseudo three times” In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step 1” with low reliability is not selected.

  The contents of the prohibition process of such a notice step are as follows, for example. When selecting and determining a notice step as a notice pattern before executing the pseudo-variable display, the previous notice step data for specifying the decided notice step is selected according to the notice step selected and decided. Data indicating the pattern is stored (updated) in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM. Data indicating the previous notice pattern in the RAM is updated and stored every time a notice step is selected and determined for each variation in the pseudo-series. When selecting and determining the advance notice step for the second and subsequent fluctuations (revariations) in the pseudo-ream, each time the advance step is selected and determined, for example, a step decision table such as the fifth advance step decision table 202E is selected. For the current selection advance notice step, which is an advance notice step, the previous notice step specified by the previous notice step data is compared with the reliability that is a big hit. When the selected advance notice step is less reliable than the previous advance notice step, the previous advance notice step is determined as the advance notice step in the current change so as not to determine the advance notice step having a lower reliability than the previous change. . On the other hand, when the reliability of the current selection notice step is equal to or higher than the reliability of the previous notice step, the current selection notice step is determined as the notice step in the current variation. Specifically, the comparison of the reliability that becomes a big hit about the notice pattern in the prohibition processing as described above is performed as follows. For each of the plurality of types of advance notice steps, for example, flags having different numerical values are associated in advance (for example, the higher the reliability that is a big hit, the flag value is set so that the numerical value becomes larger). As a data indicating the previous notice step, a flag corresponding to the type of the notice step is set. Then, the flag set as the previous notice step is compared with the flag corresponding to the notice step in the current fluctuation, and based on the magnitude relation of the numerical value of the flag, which is the current notice step or the previous notice step? Judge whether reliability is high.

  In the sixth notice step determination table 202F of (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, either “Step 2” or “Step 3” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. It is set to do. Therefore, in the third variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times”, one of “Step 2” and “Step 3” is selected, and one of these is selected as the notice step. Displayed. In the sixth notice step determination table 202F, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step 3”> “step 2”. Also, in the sixth notice step determination table 202F, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “step 3” is selected is higher than that in the third notice step determination table 202C.

  However, with respect to the sixth notice step determination table 202F, in order to prevent the reliability that the jackpot gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the third time (current) change of “Time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “step 3” is selected based on the fifth notice step determination table 202E for the second (previous) change of “pseudo continuous 3 times”, the third (pseudo continuous 3 times) (current) In the fluctuation, the prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step 2” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as the prohibition process, the notification step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the sixth notification step determination table 202F. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the sixth notice step determination table 202F as compared with the previously selected notice effect.

  Next, the contents of the seventh notice step determination table 202G to the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O used when the fluctuation display result is out of place (including both reach out of reach and non-reach out of reach) will be described. FIG. 79 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the seventh notice step determination table 202G to the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O.

  In FIG. 79, (A) to (I) show the seventh notice step determination table 202G to the fifteen notice step determination table 202O. Each notice step determination table shows the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR9 and the display contents of the notice step selected (notice step in the figure).

  In the seventh notice step determination table 202G of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, either “none (do not display the notice step)” or “step 1” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. The notice step is selected, and other notice steps are not selected. Accordingly, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” that is out of reach, either “none” or “step 1” is selected, and the notice step is displayed only when “step 1” is selected. In the seventh notice step determination table 202G, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than “step 1”.

  In the eighth notice step determination table 202H in (B), any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9 as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9. Is set so that no other notice step is selected. Therefore, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement of two pseudo-reams”, one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected, and “step 1” ”Or“ Step 2 ”is selected, a notice step is displayed. In the second notice step determination table 202B, numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratios for the notice step are “step 1”> “none” and “step 2”. Also, in the eighth notice step determination table 202H, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of the notice steps including “Step 1” and “Step 2” is higher than that in the seventh notice step determination table 202G. Is set. In the eighth notice step determination table 202H, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than that in the second notice step determination table 202B in the case of a big hit.

  In the ninth notice step determination table 202I in (C), either “Step 1” or “Step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9 as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9. It is set to do. Accordingly, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement of two pseudo-reams” that is out of reach, one of “step 1” and “step 2” is selected, and one of these is the notice step. Is displayed as selected. In the ninth notice step determination table 202I, numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step 1”> “step 2”. Also, in the ninth notice step determination table 202I, numerical data of SR9 is set so that “none” is not selected as compared with the eighth notice step determination table 202H. Also, in the ninth notice step determination table 202I, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “step 1” is selected is higher than that in the third notice step determination table 202C when it is a big hit. .

  However, with respect to the ninth notice step determination table 202I, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 2 For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “step 2” is selected based on the eighth notice step determination table 202H for the first (previous) variation of “pseudo-continuous twice”, the second “pseudo-continuous” (current) In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step 1” with low reliability is not selected. As such a prohibition process, the notification step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the ninth notification step determination table 202I. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the ninth notice step determination table 202I as compared to the notice effect selected previously.

  In the tenth notice step determination table 202J in (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. Is set so that no other notice step is selected. Accordingly, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement“ 3 pseudo-continuous ””, any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected, and “step 1 ”Or“ Step 2 ”is selected, a notice step is displayed. In the tenth notice step determination table 202J, the numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio for the notice step is “step 1”> “step 2”> “none”. In the tenth notice step determination table 202J, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “step 2” is selected is higher than that in the eighth notice step determination table 202H. Also, in the tenth notice step determination table 202J, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “none” is selected is higher than that in the fourth notice step determination table 202D when the big hit.

  In the eleventh notice step determination table 202K of (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, either “step 1” or “step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. It is set to do. Accordingly, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement“ 3 pseudo-ream ””, one of “step 1” and “step 2” is selected, and one of these is a notice step. Is displayed as selected. In the eleventh notice step determination table 202K, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step 1”> “step 2”. Also, in the eleventh notice step determination table 202K, numerical data of SR9 is set so that “none” is not selected as compared with the tenth notice step determination table 202J. Also, in the eleventh notice message determination table 202K, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “step 1” is selected is higher than that in the fifth notice message determination table 202E at the time of a big hit. .

  However, with respect to the eleventh notice step determination table 202K, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuation 3” is set. For the second (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “step 2” is selected based on the tenth notice step determination table 202J for the first (previous) change in “pseudo three times”, the second (this time) “pseudo three times” In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step 1” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such a prohibition process, the advancement step prohibition process having the above-described content is performed on the eleventh advancement step determination table 202K. As a result, the eleventh notice step determination table 202K is not less reliable than the notice effect selected previously before the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed.

  In the twelfth notice step determination table 202L in (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, either “Step 1” or “Step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. It is set to do. Accordingly, in the third fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times” that is out of reach, one of “step 1” and “step 2” is selected, and one of these is the notice step. Is displayed as selected. In the twelfth notice step determination table 202L, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step 2”> “step 1”. In the twelfth notice step determination table 202L, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that “none” and “step 3” are not selected. Also, in the twelfth notice step determination table 202L, the ratio of “step 1” being selected and “step 2” being selected is higher than that in the sixth notice step determination table 202D in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR9 is set in

  However, with respect to the twelfth notice step determination table 202L, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed from the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the third time (current) change of “Time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “Step 2” is selected based on the eleventh notice step determination table 202K for the second (previous) change of “Pseudo three times”, the third of “Pseudo three times” (current) In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step 1” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such a prohibition process, the notice step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the twelfth notice step determination table 202L. As a result, the twelfth notice step determination table 202L is not less reliable than the notice effect selected previously before the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed.

  In addition, for each notice step determination table as described above, the upper limit value of the random number value used for the selection decision of the notice step is set differently for the first change, the second change, and the third change. May be. By doing so, it is possible to vary the selection distribution.

  In the thirteenth notice step determination table 202M of (G), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, one of the notice steps “None” and “Step 1” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9, Settings are made so that other notice steps are not selected. Accordingly, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” out of reach, either “None” or “Step 1” is selected, and the notice step is displayed only when “Step 1” is selected. . In the thirteenth notice step determination table 202M, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than “step 1”.

  In the fourteenth notice step determination table 202N of (H), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, one of the notice steps “None” and “Step 1” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. Settings are made so that other notice steps are not selected. Accordingly, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” that is out of reach, either “none” or “step 1” is selected, and “step 1” is selected. Only the notice step is displayed. In the fourteenth notice step determination table 202N, the numerical data of SR9 is basically set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than “step 1”. In the fourteenth notice step determination table 202N, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of selecting “Step 1” is higher than that in the thirteenth notice step determination table 202M. In the fourteenth notice step determination table 202N, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than that in the eighth notice step determination table 202H when the reach is lost. .

  In the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O in (I), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR9, one of the notice steps “None” and “Step 1” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. Settings are made so that other notice steps are not selected. Therefore, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” of non-reach, either “None” or “Step 1” is selected, and “Step 1” is selected. Only the notice step is displayed. In the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O, the numerical data of SR9 is basically set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than “step 1”. Also, in the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “step 1” is selected is higher than that in the fourteenth notice step determination table 202N. Also, in the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “none” is selected is higher than that in the ninth notice step determination table 202I when the reach is lost. .

  However, with respect to the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuation 2” is set. For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “step 1” is selected based on the 14th notice step determination table 202N for the first (previous) change of “pseudo continuous two times”, the second (current) of “pseudo continuous two times”. In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “none” with low reliability is not selected. As such a forbidden process, the foreseeable step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed for the fifteenth foretelling step determination table 202O. As a result, the fifteenth notice step determination table 202O does not have a lower degree of reliability that the big hit gaming state is executed after the notice effect is executed, compared to the notice effect selected previously.

  As shown in FIG. 72, when the type of the first notice effect is selected and determined, if “no notice effect” can be selected, the notice step “none” as shown in each of the notice step determination tables described above is performed. A notice step determination table that cannot be selected may be used. That is, it suffices if it is possible to select not to perform the notice effect when selecting and determining the type of the notice effect or when selecting and determining a specific notice step.

  Note that each of the big hit button notice reliability selection table, the off button notice reliability selection table, the big hit step-up notice reliability selection table, and the off button notice reliability selection table at the time of first change Three tables are provided as reliability display determination tables (color reliability display determination table and pattern reliability display determination table) used for determining the reliability display in accordance with the presence / absence of the pseudo-series and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-series. An example of using different tables is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created in which three tables used for determining the reliability display at the time of the first fluctuation are created. The notice reliability selection table may be set so that it can be used in common. Specifically, for example, in the case of the big hit button notice reliability selection table, the first color reliability display determination table 205A, the second color reliability display determination table 205B, and the fourth color reliability display determination table 205D are displayed. The table is shared according to whether or not it is a big hit, such as common to one table.

  In addition, each of the big hit button notice reliability selection table, the off button notice reliability selection table, the big hit step-up notice reliability selection table, and the off button notice reliability selection table at the time of the second change Example of providing two tables as the reliability display determination table (color reliability display determination table, pattern reliability display determination table) used for determining the reliability display in the system, and using different tables according to the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-continuous showed that. Specifically, for example, in the case of the big hit button notice reliability selection table, the third color reliability display determination table 205C and the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E are shared. The table is shared according to whether or not it is a big hit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created by sharing the three tables used for determining the reliability display at the time of the second fluctuation, and the presence or absence of the pseudo-series and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-series. The notice reliability selection table may be set so that it can be used in common.

  In addition, with regard to the above-described step-up notice, an example is shown in which step 3 is not selected in the final change (change that is one of the first to third times) when it is off. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the allocation of the notice step determination table may be set so that step 3 can be selected in the final change (change that is one of the first to third times). As for the step-up notice described above, an example is shown in which step 3 is not selected in the first fluctuation when a big hit is made. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the allocation of the notice step determination table may be set so that step 3 can be selected in the first fluctuation.

  As described above, when a common table is used as the advance notice reliability display determination table, one of the reliability display determination table for the first variation and the reliability display determination table for the second variation are used. The reliability change determination table for the first variation and the reliability display determination table for the second variation may be shared, respectively.

  Next, the contents of the first color reliability display determination table 205A to the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F used when the variation display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 81 is an explanatory diagram of a configuration example of the first color reliability display determination table 205A to the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F.

  In FIG. 81, (A) to (F) show a first color reliability display determination table 205A to a sixth color reliability display determination table 205F. In each color reliability display determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR10 and the selected notification reliability display content (notification reliability display in the figure) is shown. In each of the first color reliability display determination table 205A to the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F, “first color display (white)”, “second color display (blue) based on the extracted value of the random number SR10. ) ”And“ third color display (yellow) ”are selected. As a result, with respect to the button notice at the time of big hit, the color corresponding to the color display determined in any of the first color reliability display determination table 205A to the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F, as shown in FIG. Color reliability display is performed. Specifically, the color reliability display is performed by displaying the envelope image 9P in the color display color thus determined.

  In the first color reliability display determination table 205A in (A), as shown in the numerical setting of SR10, the selection ratio of the color display is “first color display”> “second color display”> “third color display”. The numerical data is set so that “

  In the second color reliability display determination table 205B in (B), “second color display” and “third color display” are compared with the first color reliability display determination table 205A as shown in the numerical value setting of SR10. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio at which “1” is selected increases and the ratio at which “first color display” is selected decreases. As a result, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “twice pseudo-continuous”, “second color display” and “third color display” are at a higher rate than in the case of “no pseudo-continuous”. Will be selected.

  In the third color reliability display determination table 205C in (C), “second color display” and “third color display” are compared with the second color reliability display determination table 205B, as shown in the numerical setting of SR10. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio at which “1” is selected increases and the ratio at which “first color display” is selected decreases. As a result, in the second variation when the variation pattern is “twice pseudo-continuous”, “second color display” and “third color display” are selected at a higher rate than in the first variation. Will be. However, for the third color reliability display determination table 205C, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared with the previously selected color reliability display, When “second color display” or “third color display” is selected for the first (previous) variation of “pseudo continuous two times”, the second (current) variation of “pseudo continuous two times” is selected. Then, a prohibition process (color reliability prohibition process) is performed to change the setting so that a color display having a lower color reliability is not selected.

  The content of such color reliability prohibition processing is, for example, as follows. When the color reliability display (any one of the first color display to the third color display) is selected and determined as the reliability display pattern before the pseudo-variable display is performed, the determined color reliability display is specified. The previous color reliability display data which is the previous reliability display data is stored (updated) in the previous color reliability display storage area of the RAM as data indicating the previous color reliability display pattern. Data indicating the previous color reliability display pattern in the RAM is updated and stored every time a notice message is selected and determined for each variation in the pseudo-series. When the notice message is selected and determined for the second and subsequent fluctuations (revariations) in the pseudo-ream, each time the notice message is selected and determined, for example, a color reliability display determination table such as the third color reliability display determination table 205C. For the currently selected color reliability display, which is the color reliability display selected using, the previous color reliability display specified by the previous color reliability display data is compared with the reliability that is a big hit. If the selected color reliability display is lower than the previous color reliability display, the contents of the previous color reliability display are directly applied so that the color reliability display with lower reliability than the previous variation display is not determined. It is determined as the previous color reliability display in this variation. On the other hand, when the reliability of the currently selected color reliability display is equal to or higher than the reliability of the previous color reliability display, the currently selected color reliability display is determined as the color reliability display in the current variation display. Specifically, the comparison of the reliability that is a big hit for the color reliability display in the prohibition processing as described above is performed as follows. For each of the multiple types of color reliability display, for example, flags having different numerical values are associated in advance (for example, the flag value is set so that the higher the reliability that is a big hit, the higher the numerical value). As the data indicating the previous color reliability display, a flag corresponding to the type of the previous color reliability display is set. Then, the flag set as the previous color reliability display is compared with the flag corresponding to the color reliability display in the current variation, and the currently selected color reliability display and It is determined which has higher reliability in the previous color reliability display.

  Further, when the second color reliability display determination table 205B of (B) is compared with the third color reliability display determination table 205C of (C), the second variation is performed by the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice”. When the first variation in the “pseudo-continuous two times” variation pattern is performed, the “second color display” and the “third color display” are selected as “third color”. The ratio occupied by “display” is increased. As a result, the rate of selection of “third color display” is higher in the second variation than in the first variation, and the player's expectation is gradually increased as the variation in the pseudo-ream progresses. It is possible to increase the possibility that the reliability display is increased.

  In the fourth color reliability display determination table 205D in (D), “second color display” and “third color display” are compared with the second color reliability display determination table 205B, as shown in the numerical setting of SR10. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “high” and the ratio of selecting “first color display” are low. As a result, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “3 pseudo-reams”, the “first variation” is higher than the first variation of “no pseudo-reams” and “2 pseudo-reams”. “Two color display” and “third color display” are selected.

  In the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E in (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR10, “second color display” and “third color display” are compared with the fourth color reliability display determination table 205D. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio at which “1” is selected increases and the ratio at which “first color display” is selected decreases. As a result, “second color display” and “third color display” are selected at a higher rate in the second variation when the variation pattern is “pseudo three times” than in the first variation. Will be.

  However, with respect to the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state from being reduced after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the previously selected color reliability display, For the second (current) change in “Pseudo 3 times”, select a color reliability display that is lower in reliability than the color reliability display selected in the first (previous) change in “3rd consecutive” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second color display” is selected based on the fourth color reliability display determination table 205D for the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, “pseudo three times” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first color display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the color reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E. As a result, the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E does not have a lower reliability in which the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the previously selected color reliability display.

  In the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F of (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR10, “second color display” and “third color display” are compared with the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio at which “1” is selected increases and the ratio at which “first color display” is selected decreases. As a result, the “second color display” and the “third color display” are selected at a higher rate in the third change in the “pseudo three times” change pattern than in the second change. Will be.

  However, with respect to the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared to the previously selected color reliability display, Selection of color reliability display with lower reliability than the color reliability display selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-triple 3” for the third (pseudo-run 3) change Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second color display” is selected based on the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E for the second (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, “pseudo three times” 3 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first color display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the color reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F. As a result, the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F does not have a lower reliability in which the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the color reliability display previously selected.

  Further, when the fourth color reliability display determination table 205D of (D) is compared with the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E of (E), the second variation is performed by the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times”. When the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times” is performed, the “second color display” and the “third color display” in the ratio of the “third color display” are selected. The ratio occupied by “display” is increased. Thereby, the ratio of the “third color display” selected is higher in the second variation than in the first variation. Further, when the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E of (E) is compared with the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F of (F), the third variation is performed by the variation pattern of “pseudo three times”. When the second variation is performed in the variation pattern of the “pseudo-continuous three times”, the “second color display” and the “third color display” in the ratio of the “third color display” are selected. The ratio occupied by the ratio of “display” is further increased. As a result, it is possible to increase the possibility of performing the reliability display that gradually increases the player's expectation as the fluctuation in the pseudo-ream progresses.

  Next, the contents of the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G to the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L used when the variation display result is out of order will be described. FIG. 82 is an explanatory diagram of a configuration example of the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G to the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L.

  82, (A) to (F) show a seventh color reliability display determination table 205G to a twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L. In each color reliability display determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR10 and the selected notification reliability display content (notification reliability display in the figure) is shown. In each of the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G to the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L, as in the case of the first color reliability display determination table 205A to the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F, a random number is used. Based on the extracted value of SR10, any one of “first color display (white)”, “second color display (blue)”, and “third color display (yellow)” is selected. . Thereby, regarding the button notice at the time of disconnection, the color corresponding to the color display determined in any of the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G to the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L, as shown in FIG. Color reliability display is performed. Specifically, the color reliability display is performed by displaying the envelope image 9P in the color display color thus determined.

  In the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G in (A), as shown in the numerical setting of SR10, the selection ratio of the color display is “first color display”> “second color display”> “third color display”. The numerical data is set so that “ In the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G, compared to the first color reliability display determination table 205A at the time of the big hit, the ratio of selecting “first color display” is higher, and “second color display”. In addition, the numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio at which “third color display” is selected decreases. Note that the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G is selected when it is out of place and there is no pseudo-continuity, so only “first color display” is selected, and “second color display” and “second color display” are selected. The numerical value of SR10 may be set so that “three-color display” is not selected.

  In the eighth color reliability display determination table 205H in (B), “second color display” and “third color display” are compared with the seventh color reliability display determination table 205G, as shown in the numerical setting of SR10. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio at which “1” is selected increases and the ratio at which “first color display” is selected decreases. As a result, in the first variation when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is selected, “second color display” and “third color display” are selected at a higher rate than in the case of “no pseudo-continuous”. Will be. In addition, in the eighth color reliability display determination table 205H, the ratio of “first color display” is higher than that in the second color reliability display determination table 205B when the big hit, and the “second color” The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third color display” is low.

  In the ninth color reliability display determination table 205I in (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR10, the ratio of selecting “first color display” is lower than that in the eighth color reliability display determination table 205H. Thus, the numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “second color display” and “third color display” is increased. As a result, in the second variation when the variation pattern is “pseudo-continuous twice”, “second color display” and “third color display” are selected at a higher rate than in the first variation. The Rukoto. Further, in the ninth color reliability display determination table 205I, the ratio of “first color display” is higher than that in the third color reliability display determination table 205C when the big hit, and the “second color” The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third color display” is low.

  However, for the ninth color reliability display determination table 205I, compared to the previously selected color reliability display, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed, it is not lowered. For the second (this time) variation of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”, the selection of the color reliability display having a lower reliability than the color reliability display selected in the first (previous) variation of “pseudo-continuous 2 times” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second color display” is selected on the basis of the eighth color reliability display determination table 205H for the first (previous) change of “pseudo continuous twice”, “pseudo continuous twice” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first color display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the color reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the ninth color reliability display determination table 205I. Thus, the ninth color reliability display determination table 205I does not have a lower reliability in which the big hit gaming state is executed after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the previously selected color reliability display.

  In the tenth color reliability display determination table 205J in (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR10, the ratio of selecting “first color display” is lower than that in the eighth color reliability display determination table 205H. Thus, the numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “second color display” and “third color display” is high. As a result, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “3 pseudo-reams”, the second variation has a higher rate than the first variation of “no pseudo-reams” and “twice pseudo-reams”. “Color display” and “third color display” are selected. In addition, in the tenth color reliability display determination table 205J, the ratio of “first color display” is higher than in the fourth color reliability display determination table 205D when the big hit, and “second color” The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third color display” is low.

  In the eleventh color reliability display determination table 205K in (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR10, the ratio of selecting “first color display” is lower than that in the tenth color reliability display determination table 205J. Thus, the numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “second color display” and “third color display” is increased. As a result, in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo three times”, “second color display” and “third color display” are selected at a higher rate than in the first variation. The Rukoto. In addition, in the eleventh color reliability display determination table 205K, the ratio of “first color display” to be selected is higher than in the fifth color reliability display determination table 205E in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third color display” is low.

  However, with respect to the eleventh color reliability display determination table 205K, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared to the previously selected color reliability display, For the second (current) change in “Pseudo 3 times”, select a color reliability display that is lower in reliability than the color reliability display selected in the first (previous) change in “3rd consecutive” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second color display” is selected based on the tenth color reliability display determination table 205J for the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, “pseudo three times” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first color display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the color reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the eleventh color reliability display determination table 205K. As a result, the eleventh color reliability display determination table 205K does not decrease the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed as compared with the previously selected color reliability display.

  In the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L in (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR10, the ratio at which “first color display” is selected is lower than that in the eleventh color reliability display determination table 205K. Thus, the numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “second color display” and “third color display” is increased. As a result, in the third variation in the “pseudo three times” variation pattern, “second color display” and “third color display” are selected at a higher rate than in the second variation. The Rukoto. Further, in the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L, the ratio of “first color display” to be selected is higher than in the sixth color reliability display determination table 205F in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR10 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third color display” is low.

  However, for the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L, compared to the previously selected color reliability display, in order to prevent the reliability in which the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect has been executed, Selection of color reliability display with lower reliability than the color reliability display selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-triple 3” for the third (pseudo-run 3) change Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second color display” is selected based on the eleventh color reliability display determination table 205K for the second (previous) variation of “pseudo three times”, “pseudo three times” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first color display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the color reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205L. As a result, the twelfth color reliability display determination table 205 </ b> L does not decrease the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the previously selected color reliability display.

  In addition, regarding the determination of the color reliability display described above, an example in which the display determination table is separately selected and determined in two cases, when the variation display result is a big hit and when the variation display result is off. Indicated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination of the color reliability display includes three cases: when the variation display result is a big hit, when the variation display result is out of reach, and when the variation display result is out of reach. In such a case, the display determination table may be separately selected and determined. As for the color reliability display, when the display result of the variation display results in non-reach, the prohibition process is performed so that the color reliability does not increase in the re-change. It may be. In addition, when a pseudo-ream that does not reach is performed, a prohibition process may be performed so that the color reliability is not increased in the re-variation. By performing such prohibition processing, it is possible to ensure that the color reliability display corresponding to the reliability that is a big hit is performed.

  Further, in each color reliability display determination table as described above, the upper limit value of the random value used for the selection determination of the color reliability is different for the first variation, the second variation, and the third variation. May be set. By doing so, it is possible to vary the selection distribution.

  Next, the contents of the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A to the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F used when the variation display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 83 is an explanatory diagram of a configuration example of the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A to the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F.

  In FIG. 83, (A) to (F) show the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A to the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F. In each pattern reliability display determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR11 and the selected notification reliability display content (notification reliability display in the figure) is shown. In each of the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A to the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F, “first pattern display (solid painting)”, “second pattern display ( One of the pattern displays is selected from “stripe pattern” and “third pattern display (spot pattern)”. Thereby, regarding the first step-up notice at the time of big hit, the pattern according to the pattern display determined in any of the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A to the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F is shown in FIG. The pattern reliability display as shown is performed. Specifically, the pattern reliability display is performed by displaying the character images 91T, 92T, and 93T in the pattern thus determined.

  In the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A in (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR11, the selection ratio of the pattern display is “first pattern display”> “second pattern display”> “third pattern display”. The numerical data is set so that “

  In the second pattern reliability display determination table 206B in (B), “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” are compared with the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A, as shown in the numerical setting of SR11. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “1” increases and the ratio of “first pattern display” decreases. As a result, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “two pseudo-continuations”, “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” are at a higher rate than in the case of “no pseudo-continuations”. Will be selected.

  In the third pattern reliability display determination table 206C in (C), “first pattern display” and “second pattern display” are compared with the second pattern reliability display determination table 206B, as shown in the numerical setting of SR11. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “3rd pattern display” is increased and the ratio of selecting “third pattern display” is increased. As a result, the “third pattern display” is selected at a higher rate in the second variation when the variation pattern is “pseudo-continuous twice” than in the first variation. However, regarding the third pattern reliability display determination table 206C, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared to the previously selected pattern reliability display, When “2nd pattern display” or “3rd pattern display” is selected for the first (previous) variation of “2 pseudo-continuations”, the second (current) variation of “pseudo-continuous 2” Then, a prohibition process (pattern reliability prohibition process) is performed to change the setting so that a pattern display with a lower pattern reliability is not selected.

  The contents of such pattern reliability prohibition processing are as follows, for example. When the pattern reliability display (any one of the first pattern display to the third pattern display) is selected and determined as the reliability display pattern before the pseudo continuous variation display is performed, the determined pattern reliability display is specified. The previous pattern reliability display data, which is the previous reliability display data, is stored (updated) in the previous pattern reliability display storage area of the RAM as data indicating the previous pattern reliability display pattern. Data indicating the previous pattern reliability display pattern in the RAM is updated and stored every time a notice message is selected and determined for each variation in the pseudo-series. When the notice message is selected and determined for the second and subsequent fluctuations (revariations) in the pseudo-ream, each time the notice message is selected and decided, for example, a pattern reliability display decision table such as the third pattern reliability display decision table 206C. For the presently selected pattern reliability display, which is the pattern reliability display selected using, the previous pattern reliability display specified by the previous pattern reliability display data is compared with the reliability that is a big hit. When the selected pattern reliability display is lower than the previous pattern reliability display, the contents of the previous pattern reliability display are not changed so that the pattern reliability display with lower reliability than the previous variation display is not determined. It is determined as the previous pattern reliability display in this variation. On the other hand, when the reliability of the currently selected pattern reliability display is equal to or higher than the reliability of the previous pattern reliability display, the currently selected pattern reliability display is determined as the pattern reliability display in the current variation display. Specifically, the comparison of the reliability that becomes a big hit for the pattern reliability display in the prohibition processing as described above is performed as follows. For each of the multiple types of pattern reliability display, for example, flags having different numerical values are associated in advance (for example, the flag value is set so that the higher the reliability that is a big hit, the higher the numerical value). As the data indicating the previous pattern reliability display, a flag corresponding to the type of the previous pattern reliability display is set. Then, the flag set as the previous pattern reliability display is compared with the flag corresponding to the pattern reliability display in the current variation, and the currently selected pattern reliability display and It is determined which has higher reliability in the previous pattern reliability display.

  In the fourth pattern reliability display determination table 206D in (D), “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” are compared with the second pattern reliability display determination table 206B, as shown in the numerical setting of SR11. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “1” increases and the ratio of “first pattern display” decreases. As a result, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “3 pseudo-reams”, the “first variation” is higher than the first variation of “no pseudo-reams” and “2 pseudo-reams”. “Two pattern display” and “Third pattern display” are selected.

  In the fifth pattern reliability display determination table 206E of (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR11, “first pattern display” and “second pattern display” are compared with the fourth pattern reliability display determination table 206D. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “3rd pattern display” is increased and the ratio of selecting “third pattern display” is increased. As a result, the “third pattern display” is selected at a higher rate in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo three times” than in the first variation.

  However, regarding the fifth pattern reliability display determination table 206E, in order to prevent the reliability that the big hit gaming state is performed after the notice effect is performed, compared to the previously selected pattern reliability display, For the second (this time) variation of the “pseudo-continuous 3 times”, the selection of the pattern reliability display whose reliability is lower than the pattern reliability display selected in the first (previous) variation of the “pseudo-continuous 3 times” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second pattern display” is selected based on the fourth pattern reliability display determination table 206D for the first (previous) change of “pseudo series 3 times”, “pseudo series 3 times” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first pattern display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the pattern reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the fifth pattern reliability display determination table 206E. As a result, the fifth pattern reliability display determination table 206E does not have lower reliability in which the big hit gaming state is executed after the notice effect is executed, as compared to the previously selected pattern reliability display.

  In the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F of (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR11, compared to the fifth pattern reliability display determination table 206E, “first pattern display” and “second pattern display”. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio at which “3” is selected decreases and the ratio at which “third pattern display” is selected increases. As a result, in the third variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo three times”, “third pattern display” is selected at a higher rate than in the second variation.

  However, with respect to the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F, in order to prevent the reliability that the big hit gaming state is performed after the notice effect is performed, as compared with the previously selected pattern reliability display, Selection of pattern reliability display with lower reliability than the pattern reliability display selected in the second (previous) fluctuation of “pseudo 3 times” for the 3rd time (current time) change of “3 times of pseudo time series” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second pattern display” is selected based on the fifth pattern reliability display determination table 206E for the second (previous) variation of “pseudo three times”, “pseudo three times” 3 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first pattern display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the pattern reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F. As a result, regarding the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed does not decrease as compared with the previously selected pattern reliability display.

  Next, the contents of the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G to the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L used when the variation display result is out of order will be described. FIG. 84 is an explanatory diagram of a configuration example of the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G to the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L.

  84, (A) to (F) show the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G to the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L. In each pattern reliability display determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR11 and the selected notification reliability display content (notification reliability display in the figure) is shown. In each of the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G to the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L, as in the case of the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A to the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F, random numbers are used. Based on the extracted value of SR11, any one of “first pattern display (solid painting)”, “second pattern display (striped pattern)”, and “third pattern display (spotted pattern)” is displayed. Selected. Thereby, regarding the first step-up notice at the time of loss, the pattern corresponding to the pattern display determined in any of the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G to the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L is shown in FIG. The pattern reliability display as shown is performed. Specifically, the pattern reliability display is performed by displaying the character images 91T, 92T, and 93T in the pattern thus determined.

  In the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G in (A), as shown in the numerical setting of SR11, the selection ratio of the pattern display is “first pattern display”> “second pattern display”> “third pattern display”. The numerical data is set so that “ In the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G, compared to the first pattern reliability display determination table 206A at the time of the big hit, the ratio of selecting “first pattern display” is higher, and “second pattern display” is selected. And the numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio at which “third pattern display” is selected decreases. It should be noted that the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G is selected when it is out of place and there is no pseudo-continuation, so only “first pattern display” is selected, and “second pattern display” and “second pattern display” are selected. The numerical value of SR11 may be set so that “3 pattern display” is not selected.

  In the eighth pattern reliability display determination table 206H in (B), “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” are compared to the seventh pattern reliability display determination table 206G, as shown in the numerical setting of SR11. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “1” increases and the ratio of “first pattern display” decreases. As a result, the second variation display and the third variation display are selected at a higher rate in the first variation when the variation pattern is “two pseudo-continuations” than when “no pseudo-continuations”. Will be. Further, in the eighth pattern reliability display determination table 206H, the ratio of “first pattern display” to be selected is higher than that in the second pattern reliability display determination table 206B in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third pattern display” is low.

  In the ninth pattern reliability display determination table 206I in (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR11, the ratio of “first pattern display” is lower than that in the eighth pattern reliability display determination table 206H. Thus, the numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” is increased. As a result, in the second variation when the variation pattern is “pseudo-continuous twice”, “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” are selected at a higher rate than in the first variation. The Rukoto. Further, in the ninth pattern reliability display determination table 206I, the ratio of “first pattern display” to be selected is higher than in the third pattern reliability display determination table 206C in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third pattern display” is low.

  However, with respect to the ninth pattern reliability display determination table 206I, in order to prevent the reliability in which the big hit gaming state is obtained after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the pattern reliability display previously selected, Selection of pattern reliability display with lower reliability than the pattern reliability display selected in the first (previous) fluctuation of “2 times of pseudo-ream” for the second (current) simulation of “2 times of pseudo-ream” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second pattern display” is selected based on the eighth pattern reliability display determination table 206H for the first (previous) change of “pseudo series twice”, “pseudo series twice” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first pattern display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the pattern reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the ninth pattern reliability display determination table 206I. As a result, regarding the ninth pattern reliability display determination table 206I, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed does not decrease as compared with the previously selected pattern reliability display.

  In the tenth pattern reliability display determination table 206J in (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR11, the ratio at which “first pattern display” is selected is lower than that in the eighth pattern reliability display determination table 206H. Thus, the numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” is increased. As a result, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “3 pseudo-reams”, the second variation has a higher rate than the first variation of “no pseudo-reams” and “twice pseudo-reams”. The “pattern display” and the “third pattern display” are selected. Further, in the tenth pattern reliability display determination table 206J, the ratio of “first pattern display” to be selected is higher than that in the fourth pattern reliability display determination table 206D in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio at which “display” and “third pattern display” are selected decreases.

  In the eleventh pattern reliability display determination table 206K in (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR11, the ratio at which “first pattern display” is selected is lower than that in the tenth pattern reliability display determination table 206J. Thus, the numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” is increased. As a result, in the second variation when the variation pattern is “pseudo-continuous three times”, “second pattern display” and “third pattern display” are selected at a higher rate than in the first variation. The Rukoto. In addition, in the eleventh pattern reliability display determination table 206K, the ratio of selecting the “first pattern display” is higher than in the fifth pattern reliability display determination table 206E in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio at which “display” and “third pattern display” are selected decreases.

  However, with respect to the eleventh pattern reliability display determination table 206K, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state from being reduced after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the pattern reliability display previously selected, For the second (this time) variation of the “pseudo-continuous 3 times”, the pattern reliability display having a lower reliability than the pattern reliability display selected in the first (previous) variation of the “pseudo-continuous 3 times” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second pattern display” is selected on the basis of the tenth pattern reliability display determination table 206J for the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, “pseudo three times” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first pattern display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the pattern reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the eleventh pattern reliability display determination table 206K. Thus, the eleventh pattern reliability display determination table 206K does not decrease the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed, as compared to the previously selected pattern reliability display.

  In the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L in (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR11, compared to the eleventh pattern reliability display determination table 206K, “first pattern display” and “second pattern display”. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “3rd pattern display” is increased and the ratio of selecting “third pattern display” is increased. As a result, the second variation display and the third variation display are selected at a higher rate in the third variation when the variation pattern is “pseudo-continuous three times” than in the second variation. The Rukoto. In addition, in the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L, the ratio of selecting “first pattern display” is higher than in the sixth pattern reliability display determination table 206F in the case of a big hit. The numerical data of SR11 is set so that the ratio of selecting “display” and “third pattern display” is low.

  However, with respect to the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state from being reduced after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the previously selected pattern reliability display, Selection of pattern reliability display with lower reliability than the pattern reliability display selected in the second (previous) fluctuation of “pseudo 3 times” for the 3rd time (current time) change of “3 times of pseudo time series” Prohibition processing to prohibit is performed. For example, when “second pattern display” is selected based on the eleventh pattern reliability display determination table 206K for the second (previous) variation of “pseudo three times”, “pseudo three times” 2 In the first (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed so that “first pattern display” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the pattern reliability prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L. As a result, in the twelfth pattern reliability display determination table 206L, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed does not decrease as compared with the previously selected pattern reliability display.

  As for the determination of the pattern reliability display described above, an example in which the display determination table is separately selected and determined in two cases, that is, when the variation display result is a big hit and when the variation display result is lost. Indicated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination of the pattern reliability display includes three cases when the variation display result is a big hit, when the variation display result is out of reach, and when the variation display result is out of reach. In such a case, the display determination table may be separately selected and determined.

  Further, in each pattern reliability display determination table as described above, the upper limit value of the random number value used for the pattern reliability selection determination is different for the first variation, the second variation, and the third variation. You may set as follows. By doing so, it is possible to vary the selection distribution.

For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “step 1” is selected based on the 44th notice step determination table 401N for the first (previous) variation of “pseudo-continuous twice”, the second “pseudo-continuous” (current) In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “none” with low reliability is not selected. As such a forbidden process, the foreseeable step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the 45th foretelling step determination table 401O. As a result, the 45th notice step determination table 401O is not less reliable than the previously selected notice effect when the notice effect is executed and the big hit gaming state is achieved.

  As shown in FIG. 72, when the type of the first notice effect is selected and determined, if “no notice effect” can be selected, the notice step “none” as shown in each of the notice step determination tables described above is performed. A notice step determination table that cannot be selected may be used. That is, it suffices if it is possible to select not to perform the notice effect when selecting and determining the type of the notice effect or when selecting and determining a specific notice step.

  In addition, as the reach branch notice, an example is shown in which a notice effect is produced in which the effect branches at the stage where the third step, which is the final notice step, is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a notice effect in which the effect branches in the middle of the third step may be performed. Further, not limited to the third time, control may be performed so that the effect branches at a stage at the start of the second step, a stage in the middle of the second time, or a stage in the middle of the first time. Is not limited to the final notice step. In addition, as an example of the branch destination of the reach branch notice production, an example in which two branch destinations of a reach confirmation production step and a reach undecidation production step are provided, but is not limited thereto. A plurality of branch destinations may be provided. In addition, after the notice step branches, the reach branch notice may be branched in a plurality of stages by branching a plurality of steps so that the notice step can be further branched.

One table is created by sharing three or two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the fluctuation of the number, and the one table is commonly used according to the presence / absence of the pseudo-series and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-series. The notice selection table may be set in Further, the table may be shared according to whether or not it is a big hit, and further divided according to whether or not it will reach in the case of a loss.

  Next, the contents of the 46th notice step determination table 402A to the 51st notice step determination table 402F used when the variable display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 89 is an explanatory diagram of a configuration example of the 46th notice step determination table 402A to the 51st notice step determination table 402F.

  In each notice step determination table for determining the notice step of the button branch notice shown in the following description, the data “button branch” is data indicating that the button branch effect step of the notice step is displayed. Therefore, for example, an effect of proceeding from the step 1 to the button branch effect step instead of the step 2 is performed such that the notice step is “step 1” or “button branch”.

  In FIG. 89, (A) to (F) show the 46th notice step determination table 402A to the 51st notice step determination table 402F. Each notice step determination table shows the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR22 and the display contents of the selected notice step (the notice step in the figure).

  In the 46th notice step decision table 402A of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR22, “None (do not display notice step)”, “Step 1”, “Step” based on the extracted value of the random number SR22. The setting is made so that one of “2” and “button branch” is selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous”, any one of “none”, “step 1”, “step 2”, and “button branch” is selected and displayed as a notice step. In the forty-sixth notice step determination table 402A, the numerical data of SR22 is set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “none”> “step 1”> “step 2”> “button branch”.

  Note that “None (do not display the notice step)” of the notice steps used in the forty-six notice step determination table 402A may not be selected. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the first step-up notice from being executed when a big hit is caused by the fluctuation pattern of “no pseudo-ream”, and to prevent the reliability of the notice from being excessively lowered. be able to.

  In the forty-seventh notice step determination table 402B of (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR22, any one of “none”, “step 1”, and “step 2” is selected based on the extracted value of random number SR22.

One of these is selected and displayed as a notice step. In the 60th notice step determination table 402O, numerical data is basically set such that the ratio of selecting the notice step is “none”> “step 1”> “step 2”> “button branch”. Yes. Also, in the 60th notice step determination table 402O, the ratio at which “step 1” is selected is higher than in the 59th notice step determination table 402N, so that step 1, step 2, and button branch are selected. The numerical data of SR22 is set in Further, in the 60th notice step determination table 402O, the ratio of selecting “None” is higher than in the 54th notice step determination table 402I when the reach is lost, and Step 1, Step 2, and button branching are performed. The numerical data of SR22 is set so that the ratio at which is selected is low.

  However, with respect to the 60th notice step determination table 402O, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuation 2” is set. For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “step 1” is selected based on the 59th notice step determination table 402N for the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”, the second “pseudo-continuous 2” (current) In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “none” with low reliability is not selected. As such a prohibition process, the preview step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the 60th preview step determination table 402O. As a result, regarding the 60th notice step determination table 402O, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered as compared with the previously selected notice effect.

  As shown in FIG. 70, when selecting and determining the type of the first notice effect, if “no notice effect” can be selected, the notice step “none” as shown in each of the notice step determination tables described above is selected. A notice step determination table that cannot be selected may be used. That is, it suffices if it is possible to select not to perform the notice effect when selecting and determining the type of the notice effect or when selecting and determining a specific notice step.

  Next, a button branch notice content selection table used for determining the notice contents to be displayed when an effect of showing the contents of the parcel (hereinafter referred to as the notice contents) is performed according to the button operation in the button notice. The notice content determination table will be described.

  FIG. 91 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the button branch notice content selection table and the notice content determination table stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100. The button branch notice content selection table shown in (A) is a table (notice that is used when determining the notice contents to be displayed in response to the button operation when it is decided to execute the button branch notice. It is a data table used for selecting a content determination table. Further, the first to third notice content determination tables shown in (B) to (D) are tables that are referred to in order to specifically determine the notice contents to be displayed in response to the button operation. Yes, selected by button branch notice content selection table.

  In the button branch notice selection table shown in (A), a different notice content determination table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern specified by the effect control command. Data is set to do. When a variation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” is designated, the first notice content determination table 500A shown in (B) is selected. When the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 2 times” is designated, the first notice content determination table 500A shown in (B) is selected in order to determine the notice contents at the time of the first change (at the first change). The second notice content determination table 500B shown in (C) is selected in order to decide the notice contents at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change). When the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” is designated, the first announcement content determination table 500A shown in (B) is selected in order to decide the announcement content at the first variation (at the first variation). The second notice content determination table 500B shown in (C) is selected to determine the notice contents at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change), and the notice contents at the time of the third change (at the time of re-change). In order to determine a thing, the 3rd notice content determination table 500C shown to (D) is selected.

  In each of the notice contents determination tables shown in (B) to (D), the random number SR23 for determining the notice contents is “No notice contents” and “No notice contents” according to the variation pattern indicated in the variation pattern designation command. It is allocated to either “Band bundle” or “Gold”. In the setting of the notice content determination table, “non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern”, “reach deviation fluctuation pattern”, and “hit hit fluctuation pattern” are “no notice contents”, “note bundle”, and “gold bullion”. The value of the random number SR23 corresponding to each selection item is set so that the allocation for each selection item is different. In the case of “no quasi-continuous”, the button branch notice is selected only when the jackpot is reached (see FIG. 89A), so the first notice contents determination table 500A has a “big hit fluctuation pattern”. Only the random number SR23 is allocated to the notice contents. In the case of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”, the button branch notice is selected in each of the cases where a big hit is reached, the reach is lost, and the non-reach is lost (FIGS. 89C and 89E). 90 (C), (I)), the second notice content determination table 500B includes all of “a jackpot variation pattern”, “reach out of variation pattern”, and “non-reach out of variation pattern”. The random number SR23 is assigned to the notice contents. In the case of “3 pseudo-reams”, the button branch notice is selected only in the case of a big hit and when the reach is lost (see FIGS. 89 (F) and 90 (F)). In the third notice content determination table 500C, the random number SR23 is allocated to the notice contents only for the “big hit fluctuation pattern” and “reach off fluctuation pattern”.

  In the setting of the notice content determination table, specifically, in the case of the big hit variation pattern, the selection ratio is high because of the relationship of gold bullion> bill bundle> no notice content. In addition, when the reach variation pattern is reached, the ratio of the bill bundle> no notice content> gold bullion or the bill bundle> gold bullion> no notice content is high. In the case of the non-reach deviation variation pattern, the ratio of selection is high due to the relationship of no notice contents> bill bundle> gold bullion. Therefore, when the gold bullion is displayed as the notice content, the reliability of the big hit is the highest, so that the player's expectation about the big hit can be enhanced most. Also, when a gold bullion or bill bundle is displayed as the advance notice content, since the reliability of the reach state is higher than when the advance notice content is not displayed, the player's expectation and reach for reaching the reach state is higher. The expectation about becoming a big hit from the state can be raised.

  In addition, as the button branch notice, an example is given in which a notice effect is produced in which the effect branches at the stage where the third step, which is the final notice step, is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a notice effect in which the effect branches in the middle of the third step may be performed. Further, not limited to the third time, control may be performed so that the effect branches at a stage at the start of the second step, a stage in the middle of the second time, or a stage in the middle of the first time. Is not limited to the final notice step. In addition, as the branch destination of the effect of the button branch notice, an example in which two branch destinations, an effect that displays the notice content and an effect that does not display such notice content, is shown. Instead, three or more branch destinations may be provided. In addition, after the notice step is branched by button branching, the button branch notice is made so that the notice step can be branched by multiple stages of button branch so that the notice step can be branched by button branch. Also good.

  FIG. 92 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the second notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200A stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100. FIG. The second notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200A is a table that is referred to in order to decide whether or not to execute the second notice effect notice pattern execution. In the second notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200A, the random number SR12 for determining the execution of the second notice effect is “No second notice effect” or “ Allotted to one of “second step-up notice”.

  In the setting of the second notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200A, the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “non-reach deviation”, the reach deviation deviation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “reach deviation”, and the fluctuation display. Each selection item so that the allocation for each selection item of “no second notice effect” and “second step-up notice (monitor notice)” differs according to the big hit fluctuation pattern that results in “big hit” The value of the random number SR12 corresponding to is set.

  Specifically, in the setting of the second notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200A, the second step-up notice (in the case of the big hit fluctuation pattern is more in the case of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the reach deviation deviation pattern). Monitor monitor) is often selected. Thereby, when it is a big hit, the second notice effect is more easily performed than when it is lost. For this reason, when the second notice effect by the second step-up notice is performed, it is possible to increase the player's expectation about the occurrence of the big hit. Also, when the reach is lost, the second notice effect is more easily performed than when the non-reach is lost. For this reason, when the 2nd notice effect by the 2nd step-up notice is performed, the player's expectation about the occurrence of reach can be enhanced.

  FIG. 92 shows an example in which there is only one type of target notice pattern type that can be selected as the second notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the target of the notice pattern type that can be selected as the second notice effect may be two or more kinds.

  Further, in the second notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200A shown in FIG. 92, for each of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern, the reach deviation deviation pattern, and the big hit fluctuation pattern, according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the fluctuation pattern, Different ratios for selecting and determining each of the second step-up notice and the second step-up notice (for example, the higher the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations, the higher the ratio at which the second step-up notice is selected). It may be.

  FIG. 93 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a notice selection table as a data table used for selecting a table used when determining a specific notice pattern after determining whether or not to execute the second notice effect.

  In FIG. 93, (A) shows a second step-up notice selection table at the time of big hit. (B) shows the second step-up notice selection table at the time of a loss of reach. In FIG. 93, (C) shows a second step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach. These notice selection tables are all stored in the ROM of the production control microcomputer 100.

  The second step-up notice selection table at the time of jackpot shown in (A) is a table for determining a specific notice pattern when the second step-up notice is determined as the notice pattern type when the big hit fluctuation pattern is designated. It is a data table for selecting the notice step determination table used for this. In the big hit second step-up notice selection table, a different notice step determination table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern designated by the effect control command. Data is set.

  Specifically, in the second step up notice selection table at the time of big hit shown in (A), the notice step determination table is selected as follows. When a variation pattern of “no pseudo-ream” is designated, a sixteenth notice step determination table 208A shown in FIG. 94 is selected.

  In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 2 times” is designated, the 17th advance step determination table 208B shown in FIG. 94 is selected in order to determine the advance pattern at the time of the first change (at the time of the first change), The eighteenth notice step determination table 208C shown in FIG. 94 is selected in order to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo three times” is designated, a nineteenth notice step decision table 208D shown in FIG. 94 is selected to decide the notice pattern at the time of the first change (at the first change), The twentieth notice step determination table 208E shown in FIG. 94 is selected in order to decide the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change), and the notice pattern at the time of the third change (at the time of change) is decided. The twenty-first notice step determination table 208F shown in FIG. 94 is selected.

  In the second step-up advance notice selection table shown in (B), the second step-up notice is determined as the notice pattern type when the reach deviation change pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “reach out” is designated. This is a data table for selecting a notice step determining table used for determining a specific notice pattern. In the second step-up notice selection table at the time of reach losing, a different notice step determination table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern designated by the effect control command. Data is set in.

  Specifically, in the second step-up notice selection table at the time of deviation from the reach shown in (E), the notice step determination table is selected as follows. For example, when a variation pattern of “no pseudo-ream” is designated, the 22nd notice step determination table 208G shown in FIG. 95 is selected.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 2 times” is designated, the 23rd notice step determination table 208H shown in FIG. 95 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the first change (at the first change), The twenty-fourth notice step decision table 208I shown in FIG. 95 is selected in order to decide the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  When the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” is designated, the 25th notice step decision table 208J shown in FIG. 95 is selected to decide the notice pattern at the time of the first change (at the first change), The 26th notice step decision table 208K shown in FIG. 95 is selected in order to decide the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-variation), and the notice pattern at the time of the third change (at the time of change) is decided. The twenty-seventh notice step decision table 208L shown in FIG. 95 is selected.

  The second step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach deviation shown in (C) shows the second step-up notice as the notice pattern type when a non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern whose fluctuation display result is “non-reach out” is designated. This is a data table for selecting a notice step decision table to be used for determining a specific notice pattern. In the second step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach, a different notice step determination table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern designated by the effect control command. Data is set as follows.

  In the non-reach step-up notice selection table shown in (C), specifically, the notice step determination table is selected as follows. For example, when the variation pattern “no pseudo-ream” is designated, the 28th notice step determination table 208M shown in FIG. 95 is selected.

  In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 2 times” is designated, the 29th notice step decision table 208N shown in FIG. The 30th notice step decision table 208O shown in FIG. 95 is selected in order to decide the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  In addition, for each of the second step-up notice selection table at the time of big hit, the second step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach, and the second step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach, the notice pattern is determined at the time of the first change. An example is shown in which three or two tables are provided as the table used for the purpose (notice step determination table), and the table is selectively used according to the presence / absence of the pseudo-series and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-series. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created by sharing three or two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the first change, and the one table is used in the presence or absence of the pseudo-series and the pseudo-series. The notice selection table may be set so as to be commonly used according to the number of fluctuations. Specifically, for example, in the case of the big hit second step-up notice selection table, the sixteenth notice step decision table 208A, the seventeenth notice step decision table 208B, and the nineteenth notice step decision table 208D are shared by one table. Turn into. Further, in the case of the second step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach, whether the 28th notice step decision table 208M and the 29th notice step decision table 208N are shared in one table or not is a big hit? In addition, the table is shared according to whether or not it is reached in the case of a loss.

  In addition, each of the second step-up notice selection table at the time of big hit and the second step-up notice selection table at the time of losing reach is a table (notice step decision table) used for determining a notice pattern at the time of the second change. An example is shown in which two tables are provided and the tables are selectively used according to the presence / absence of the pseudo-ream and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-ream. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created in which two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the second change are created. Accordingly, the notice selection table may be set so as to be used in common. Specifically, for example, in the case of a big hit button notice selection table, whether the eighteenth notice step decision table 208C and the twentieth notice step decision table 208E are shared by one table or not is determined. Separate and share the table.

  As described above, when a common table is used as the second step-up notice selection table, the second step-up notice selection table for the first change and the second step-up notice selection table for the second change are used. Or both of the second step-up notice selection table for the first fluctuation and the second step-up notice selection table for the second fluctuation, respectively. It may be shared.

  Next, the contents of the sixteenth notice step determination table 208A to the twenty-first notice step determination table 208F used when the variable display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 94 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the sixteenth notice step determination table 208A to the twenty-first notice step determination table 208F.

  In FIG. 94, the sixteenth notice step determination table 208A to the twenty-first notice step determination table 208F are shown in (A) to (F). In each notice step determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR13 and the display contents of the notice step selected (notice step in the figure) is shown.

  In each notice step determination table for determining the notice step of the second step-up notice shown in the following description, the data “step A” is data indicating that it is displayed up to step A of the notice step. Therefore, when the notice step data of step A is selected, the advancement of the notice step to step A is performed, for example. Further, in the notice step determination table shown in the following description, the data “step B” is data indicating that it is displayed up to step B of the notice step. Therefore, when the data of the advance notice step of step B is selected, for example, the advance to the step B is performed such that the advance notice steps are step A and step B, for example. The data “Step C” is data indicating that the display is performed up to Step C of the advance notice step. Therefore, when the data of the notice step of step C is selected, for example, the notice step advances to step C, such as step A, step B, and step C, for example.

  In the sixteenth notice step determination table 208A of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, based on the extracted value of the random number SR13, “none (do not display the notice step)”, “step A”, “step” A setting is made so that one of “B” and “Step C” is selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “No quasi-continuous”, any one of “None”, “Step A”, “Step B”, and “Step C” is selected and displayed as a notice step. In the sixteenth notice step determination table 208A, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “none”> “step A”> “step B”> “step C”.

  In the seventeenth notice step determination table 208B of (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, any one of “none”, “step A”, and “step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13. Is set so that other notice steps are not selected. Therefore, in the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice”, any one of “none”, “step A”, and “step B” is selected, and “step A” or “step A” A notice step is displayed when “Step B” is selected. In the seventeenth notice step determination table 208B, numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio for the notice step is “step A”> “step B”> “none”. In the seventeenth notice step determination table 208B, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio of the notice steps including “step A” and “step B” is higher than that in the sixteenth notice step determination table 208A. Is set.

  In the eighteenth notice step determination table 208C of (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, either “Step B” or “Step C” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13. It is set to do. Therefore, in the second variation when the variation pattern is “twice pseudo-continuous”, one of “step B” and “step C” is selected, and one of these is selected as the notice step. Displayed. In the nineteenth notice step determination table 208C, numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step B”> “step C”. In the eighteenth notice step determination table 208C, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that “none” and “step A” are not selected as compared with the seventeenth notice step determination table 208B. As a result, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the eighteenth notice step determination table 208C as compared to the previously selected notice effect. That is, for the second (this time) change at the time of the big hit “2 times of pseudo-ream”, by selecting the advance step using the 18th advance step determination table 208C, The prohibition process for prohibiting selection of the notice effect having lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the previous variation is performed.

  In the nineteenth notice step determination table 208D of (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, any one of “none”, “step A”, and “step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13. Is set so that no other notice step is selected. Therefore, in the first variation when the variation pattern is “pseudo three times”, any one of “none”, “step A”, and “step B” is selected, and “step A” or “step A” is selected. A notice step is displayed when “Step B” is selected. In the nineteenth notice step determination table 208D, numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio for the notice step is “step A”> “step B”> “none”. In the nineteenth notice step determination table 208D, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio at which “step B” is selected is higher than that in the seventeenth notice step determination table 208B.

  In the twentieth notice step determination table 208E of (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, among the “step A”, “step B”, and “step C” based on the extracted value of the random number SR13, Either one is selected, and settings are made so that no other notice step is selected. Therefore, in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times”, any one of “Step A”, “Step B”, and “Step C” is selected. Is selected and displayed as the advance notice step. In the twentieth notice step determination table 208E, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step B”> “step C”> “step A”. Also, in the twentieth notice step determination table 208E, numerical data of SR13 is set so that “None” is not selected as compared with the nineteenth notice step determination table 208D. Also, in the twentieth notice step determination table 208E, numerical data of SR13 is set so that “step C” is selected as compared with the nineteenth notice step determination table 208D.

  However, with respect to the twentieth notice step determination table 208E, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the second (this time) change of “time”, a prohibition process that prohibits selection of a notice effect that is less reliable than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times” (notice step) Forbidden processing). For example, when “step B” is selected based on the 19th notice step determination table 208D for the first (previous) change in “pseudo three times”, the second (this time) “pseudo three times” In the variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step A” with low reliability is not selected.

  The contents of the prohibition process of such a notice step are as follows, for example. When selecting and determining a notice step as a notice pattern before executing the pseudo-variable display, the previous notice step data for specifying the decided notice step is selected according to the notice step selected and decided. Data indicating the pattern is stored (updated) in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM. Data indicating the previous notice pattern in the RAM is updated and stored every time a notice step is selected and determined for each variation in the pseudo-series. When selecting and determining the advance notice step for the second and subsequent fluctuations (revariations) in the pseudo-ream, each time the advance notice step is selected and determined, for example, it is selected using a step decision table such as the twentieth advance notice step decision table 208E. For the current selection advance notice step, which is an advance notice step, the previous notice step specified by the previous notice step data is compared with the reliability that is a big hit. When the selected advance notice step is less reliable than the previous advance notice step, the previous advance notice step is determined as the advance notice step in the current change so as not to determine the advance notice step having a lower reliability than the previous change. . On the other hand, when the reliability of the current selection notice step is equal to or higher than the reliability of the previous notice step, the current selection notice step is determined as the notice step in the current variation. Specifically, the comparison of the reliability that becomes a big hit about the notice pattern in the prohibition processing as described above is performed as follows. For each of the plurality of types of advance notice steps, for example, flags having different numerical values are associated in advance (for example, the higher the reliability that is a big hit, the flag value is set so that the numerical value becomes larger). As a data indicating the previous notice step, a flag corresponding to the type of the notice step is set. Then, the flag set as the previous notice step is compared with the flag corresponding to the notice step in the current fluctuation, and based on the magnitude relation of the numerical value of the flag, which is the current notice step or the previous notice step? Judge whether reliability is high.

  In the twenty-first notice step determination table 208F in (F), either “Step B” or “Step C” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13, as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13. It is set to do. Therefore, in the third variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times”, one of “Step B” and “Step C” is selected, and one of these is selected as the notice step. Displayed. In the twenty-first notice step determination table 208F, numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step C”> “step B”. In addition, in the 21st notice step determination table 208F, the ratio of selecting “Step B” is lower and the ratio of selecting “Step C” is higher than in the 20th notice step determination table 208E. Numeric data is set. In the twenty-first notice step determination table 208F, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that “step A” is not selected.

  However, with respect to the 21st notice step determination table 208F, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the third time (current) change of “Time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “step C” is selected based on the 20th notice step determination table 208E for the second (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous three times”, the third “pseudo-continuous three times” (current) In the variation, the prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step B” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as the prohibition process, the advancement step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the 21st advancement step determination table 208F. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the twenty-first notice step determination table 208F as compared with the notice effect selected previously.

  Next, the contents of the 22nd notice step determination table 208G to the 30th notice step determination table 208O used when the fluctuation display result is out of place (including both reach out and non reach out) will be described. FIG. 95 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the 22nd notice step determination table 208G to the 30th notice step determination table 208O.

  95, (A) to (I) show the 22nd notice step determination table 208G to the 30th notice step determination table 208O. In each notice step determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR13 and the display contents of the notice step selected (notice step in the figure) is shown.

  In the 22nd notice step determination table 208G of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, either “none (do not display the notice step)” or “step A” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13. The notice step is selected, and other notice steps are not selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” that is out of reach, either “none” or “step A” is selected, and the notice step is displayed only when “step A” is selected. In the twenty-second notice step determination table 208G, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than “step A”.

  In the 23rd notice step determination table 208H of (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, any one of “none”, “step A”, and “step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13. Is set so that no other notice step is selected. Accordingly, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement of two pseudo-reams” of reach, one of “None”, “Step A”, and “Step B” is selected, and “Step A ”Or“ Step B ”is selected, a notice step is displayed. In the 23rd notice step determination table 208H, the numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio for the notice step is “step A”> “step B”> “none”. Further, in the 23rd notice step determination table 208H, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio of the notice steps including “Step A” and “Step B” is higher than that in the 22nd notice step determination table 208G. Is set. In the twenty-third notice step determination table 208H, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than that in the seventeenth notice step decision table 208B when a big hit is made.

  In the 24th notice step determination table 208I in (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, either “step A” or “step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13. It is set to do. Therefore, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the “reverse quasi-continuous two times” deviation, one of “step A” and “step B” is selected, and one of these is the notice step. Is displayed as selected. In the twenty-fourth notice step determination table 208I, numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step A”> “step B”. In the twenty-fourth notice step determination table 208I, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that “step C” is not selected as compared with the twenty-third notice step determination table 208H. In the twenty-fourth notice step determination table 208I, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio at which “step A” is selected is higher than that in the eighteenth notice step decision table 208C when a big hit is achieved. .

  However, with respect to the 24th notice step determination table 208I, the “pseudo-continuation 2” is set so that the reliability of the big hit gaming state after execution of the notice effect is not lowered as compared with the previously selected notice effect. For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “step B” is selected based on the 23rd notice step determination table 208H for the first (previous) change of “pseudo continuous 2 times”, the second (current) of “pseudo continuous 2 times”. In the variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step A” with low reliability is not selected. As such a prohibition process, the notice step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed for the 24th notice step determination table 208I. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the twenty-fourth notice step determination table 208I as compared to the notice effect selected previously.

  In the 25th notice step determination table 208J of (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, any one of “none”, “step A”, and “step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13. Is set so that no other notice step is selected. Accordingly, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times” that is out of reach, any one of “none”, “step A”, and “step B” is selected, and “step A ”Or“ Step B ”is selected, a notice step is displayed. In the tenth notice step determination table 208J, numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio for the notice step is “step A”> “step B”> “none”. In the twenty-fifth notice step determination table 208J, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio at which “step B” is selected is higher than that in the eighth notice step determination table 208H. In addition, in the 25th notice step determination table 208J, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than that in the 19th notice step determination table 208D when a big hit.

  In the twenty-sixth notice step determination table 208K of (E), either “step A” or “step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13 as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13. It is set to do. Therefore, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement“ 3 pseudo-reams ”, one of“ step A ”and“ step B ”is selected, and one of these is the notice step. Is displayed as selected. In the twenty-sixth notice step determination table 208K, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step A”> “step B”. In the twenty-sixth notice step determination table 208K, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that “step C” is not selected as compared with the twenty-fifth notice step determination table 208J.

  However, regarding the 26th notice step determination table 208K, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the second (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “step B” is selected based on the 25th notice step determination table 208J for the first (previous) change in “pseudo three times”, the second (this time) “pseudo three times” In the variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step A” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such a prohibition process, the notification step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the twenty-sixth notification step determination table 208K. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the twenty-sixth notice step determination table 208K as compared to the notice effect selected previously.

  In the twenty-seventh notice step determination table 208L in (F), either “Step A” or “Step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13 as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13. It is set to do. Therefore, in the third fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement“ three times of quasi-continuous ”, one of“ step A ”and“ step B ”is selected, and one of these is a notice step. Is displayed as selected. In the twenty-seventh notice step determination table 208L, numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the notice step is selected is “step B”> “step A”. In the 27th notice step determination table 208L, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that “none” and “step C” are not selected. Further, in the twenty-seventh notice step determination table 208L, the ratio at which “step A” is selected is lower and the ratio at which “step B” is selected is higher than that in the twenty-sixth notice step determination table 208K. Is set with the numerical data of SR13.

  However, with respect to the 27th notice step determination table 208L, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 3 For the third time (current) change of “Time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “step B” is selected based on the 26th notice step determination table 208K for the second (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, the third “pseudo three times” (current) In the variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “step A” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as the prohibition process, the advancement step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the 27th advancement step determination table 208L. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the twenty-seventh notice step determination table 208L as compared to the previously selected notice effect.

  In the 28th notice step determination table 208M of (G), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, one of the notice steps “None” and “Step A” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13, Settings are made so that other notice steps are not selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” out of reach, either “None” or “Step A” is selected, and the notice step is displayed only when “Step A” is selected. . In the twenty-eighth notice step determination table 208M, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the rate at which “none” is selected is higher than “step A”.

  In the 29th notice step determination table 208N of (H), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, one of the notice steps “None” and “Step A” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13, Settings are made so that other notice steps are not selected. Therefore, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” of non-reach, when “None” or “Step A” is selected and “Step A” is selected Only the notice step is displayed. In the twenty-ninth notice step determination table 208N, the numerical data of SR13 is basically set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than “step A”. In the 29th notice step determination table 208N, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio of selecting “Step A” is higher than that in the 28th notice step determination table 208M. In the 29th notice step determination table 208N, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than that in the 23rd notice step determination table 208H when the reach is lost. .

  In the 30th notice step determination table 208O of (I), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR13, one of the notice steps “None” and “Step A” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR13, Settings are made so that other notice steps are not selected. Accordingly, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” that is out of reach, either “None” or “Step A” is selected, and “Step A” is selected. Only the notice step is displayed. In the 30th notice step determination table 208O, the numerical data of SR13 is basically set so that the ratio of selecting “none” is higher than “step A”. In the 30th notice step determination table 208O, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio at which “step A” is selected is higher than that in the 29th notice step determination table 208N. Also, in the 30th notice step determination table 208O, the numerical data of SR13 is set so that the ratio at which “none” is selected is higher than that in the 24th notice step determination table 208I when the reach is lost. .

  However, with respect to the 30th notice step determination table 208O, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuation 2” is set. For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “step A” is selected based on the 29th notice step determination table 208N for the first (previous) change of “pseudo continuous 2 times”, the second (pseudo continuous 2 times) (current) In this variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “none” with low reliability is not selected. As such a prohibition process, the preview step prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the 30th preview step determination table 208O. As a result, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the 30th notice step determination table 208O as compared to the previously selected notice effect.

  In addition, for each notice step determination table as described above, the upper limit value of the random number value used for the selection decision of the notice step is set differently for the first change, the second change, and the third change. May be. By doing so, it is possible to vary the selection distribution.

  In the case where the second notice effect is to be executed and the notice pattern at the time of execution is selected and determined using one random number value, the second notice effect is not provided for each variation pattern in FIG. The random number SR12 is set to the value of the random announcement value SR12 and the plurality of types of notice patterns, such as 1 notice pattern (with the second notice effect), second notice pattern (with the second notice effect),. Allotted to each, and based on the extracted value of the random number SR12, whether or not to execute the second notice effect, and the notice pattern at the time of execution may be selected and determined. In that case, the various tables shown in FIGS. 93 to 95 are not used. In such a case, the data table for selecting and determining whether or not the second notice effect is to be executed using one random value is used for the second notice effect. It is only necessary to provide the data table separately according to the number of fluctuations of the pseudo-series.

  FIG. 96 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the third notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200B stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100. The third notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200B is a table that is referred to in order to decide whether or not to execute the third notice effect. In the third notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200B, the random number SR14 for determining the execution of the third notice effect is “No third notice effect” or “ Allotted to one of “movable member notice”.

  In the setting of the third notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200B, the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “non-reach deviation”, the reach deviation fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “reach deviation”, and the fluctuation display. The random number SR14 corresponding to each selection item is different so that the allocation for each selection item of “no third notice effect” and “movable member notice” is different from the big hit fluctuation pattern in which the result is “big hit”. Value is set.

  In the setting of the third notice effect notice pattern execution decision table 200B, specifically, the movable member notice is selected for the big hit fluctuation pattern than for the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the reach deviation deviation pattern. There are many ratios. Thereby, when it is a big hit, the third notice effect is more easily performed than when it is lost. For this reason, when the 3rd notice production by a movable member notice is performed, the player's expectation about big hit occurrence can be raised. Also, when the reach is lost, the third notice effect is more easily performed than when the non-reach is lost. For this reason, when the 3rd notice production by a movable member notice is performed, the player's expectation about the occurrence of reach can be raised.

  FIG. 96 shows an example in which there is only one type of the notice pattern type that can be selected as the third notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the target of the notice pattern type that can be selected as the third notice effect may be two or more kinds.

  Also, in the third notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200B shown in FIG. 96, for each of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern, the reach deviation fluctuation pattern, and the big hit fluctuation pattern, according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the fluctuation pattern, The ratio for selecting and determining each of the third notice announcement and the movable member notice may be different (for example, the ratio of selection of the movable member notice is increased as the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations increases). .

  FIG. 97 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a notice selection table as a data table used to select a table used when determining a specific notice pattern after determining whether to execute the third notice effect.

  In FIG. 97, (A) shows the big hit time movable member notice selection table. (B) shows a movable member notice selection table at the time of detachment. In FIG. 97, (C) shows a movable member notice selection table at the time of non-reach. These notice selection tables are all stored in the ROM of the production control microcomputer 100.

  The big hit time movable member notice selection table shown in (A) is used to determine a specific notice pattern when a movable member notice is determined as a notice pattern type when a big hit variation pattern is designated. It is a data table for selecting a member operation | movement determination table. In the big hit time movable member notice selection table, data is selected so that a different movable member operation determination table is selected according to the total number of variation displays (including revariations) performed in the variation pattern designated by the effect control command. Is set.

  Specifically, in the big hit time movable member notice selection table shown in (A), the movable member operation determination table is selected as follows. When the variation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” is designated, the first movable member operation determination table 301A shown in FIG. 98 is selected.

  In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is designated, the second movable member operation determination table 301B shown in FIG. 98 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the first variation (at the first variation). The third movable member operation determination table 301C shown in FIG. 98 is selected in order to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  When the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” is designated, the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D shown in FIG. 98 is selected in order to determine the notice pattern at the time of the first variation (at the first variation). The fifth movable member operation determination table 301E shown in FIG. 98 is selected to determine the notification pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change), and the notification pattern at the time of the third change (at the time of change) is determined. For this purpose, the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F shown in FIG. 98 is selected.

  (B) The reach-out movable member notice selection table shown in (B) indicates that when a reach-out change pattern is designated with a fluctuation display result of “reach miss”, and when the moveable member notice is determined as the notice pattern type, It is a data table for selecting the movable member operation | movement determination table used for determination of a specific notice pattern. In the reach-moving member advance notice selection table, a different movable member operation determination table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern specified by the effect control command. Data is set.

  More specifically, the movable member operation determination table is selected as follows in the reach-out movable member notice selection table shown in (E). For example, when the variation pattern “no quasi-continuous” is designated, the seventh movable member operation determination table 301G shown in FIG. 99 is selected.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is designated, the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H shown in FIG. 99 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the first fluctuation (at the first fluctuation). The ninth movable member operation determination table 301I shown in FIG. 99 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” is designated, the tenth movable member operation determination table 301J shown in FIG. 99 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the first variation (at the first variation). The eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K shown in FIG. 99 is selected in order to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change), and the notice pattern at the time of the third change (at the time of change) is determined. In order to do this, the twelfth movable member operation determination table 301L shown in FIG. 99 is selected.

  In the non-reach shift movable member notice selection table shown in (C), when a non-reach shift change pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “non-reach break” is specified, the movable member notice is determined as the notice pattern type. It is a data table for selecting a movable member operation determination table used for determining a specific notice pattern. In the non-reach shift movable member notice selection table, a different movable member operation determination table is selected according to the total number of variation displays (including revariations) performed in the variation pattern designated by the effect control command. Data is set in.

  In the non-reach shift movable member notice selection table shown in (C), specifically, the movable member operation determination table is selected as follows. For example, when the variation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” is designated, the thirteenth movable member operation determination table 301M shown in FIG. 99 is selected.

  In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is designated, the fourteenth movable member operation determination table 301N shown in FIG. 99 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the first variation (at the first variation). The fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O shown in FIG. 99 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  In addition, the table used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the first fluctuation is used for the movable member notice selection table at the time of big hit, the movable member notice selection table at the time of non-reach, and the movable member notice selection table at the time of non-reach. As an example of the movable member operation determination table, three or two tables are provided, and the table is selectively used according to the presence / absence of the pseudo-continuous and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-continuous. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created by sharing three or two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the first change, and the one table is used in the presence or absence of the pseudo-series and the pseudo-series. The notice selection table may be set so as to be commonly used according to the number of fluctuations. Specifically, for example, in the case of a big hit movable member notice selection table, the first movable member operation determination table 301A, the second movable member operation determination table 301B, and the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D are combined into one table. Make common. Further, in the case of the non-reachable movable member notice selection table, whether or not the 13th movable member operation determination table 301M and the 14th movable member operation determination table 301N are shared as one table is a big hit. In addition, the table is shared according to whether or not it is reached in the case of a loss.

  Further, each of the big hit time movable member notice selection table and the reach failure movable member notice selection table includes two tables (movable member operation decision tables) used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the second fluctuation. An example is shown in which a table is provided, and the table is selectively used according to the presence / absence of the pseudo-series and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-series. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created in which two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the second change are created. Accordingly, the notice selection table may be set so as to be used in common. Specifically, for example, in the case of the big hit button notice selection table, whether or not the big hit is made such that the third movable member operation determination table 301C and the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E are shared by one table. Divide them into common tables.

  As described above, when a common table is used as the movable member notice selection table, one of the movable member notice selection table for the first change and the movable member notice selection table for the second change is used. Alternatively, both the first change time movable member notice selection table and the second change time movable member notice selection table may be made common.

  Next, the contents of the first movable member operation determination table 301A to the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F used when the fluctuation display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 98 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a configuration example of the first movable member operation determination table 301A to the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F.

  In FIG. 98, (A) to (F) show the first movable member operation determination table 301A to the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F. In each movable member operation determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR15 and the contents of the selected movable member operation (movable member operation in the figure) is shown.

  In each movable member motion determination table for determining the movable member motion of the movable member notice shown in the following description, the data “movable member motion A” is data indicating that the movable member motion A in FIG. 69A is performed. It is. Therefore, when the movable member operation data “movable member operation A” is selected, an effect of executing the movable member operation A is performed. In the movable member operation determination table described below, the data “movable member operation B” is data indicating that the movable member operation B of FIG. 69B is performed. Therefore, when the movable member operation data “movable member operation B” is selected, an effect of executing the movable member operation B is performed. The data “movable member operation C” is data indicating that the movable member operation C in FIG. 69C is performed. Therefore, when the movable member operation data “movable member operation C” is selected, an effect of executing the movable member operation C is performed.

  In the first movable member motion determination table 301A of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, “movable member motion A”, “movable member motion B”, and “movable Settings are made such that any one of “member motion C” is selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous”, any one of “movable member operation A”, “movable member operation B”, and “movable member operation C” is selected, and the selected movable member operation is performed. It is. In the first movable member operation determination table 301A, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio of the movable member operation selected is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”> “movable member operation C”. Has been.

  In the second movable member operation determination table 301B of (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, among “movable member operation A” and “movable member operation B”. Settings are made so that either one is selected. Therefore, in the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice”, either “movable member operation A” or “movable member operation B” is selected, and the selected movable member operation is selected. Is done. In the second movable member operation determination table 301B, numerical data is set so that the selected ratio regarding the movable member operation is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”.

  In the third movable member motion determination table 301C in (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, either “movable member motion B” or “movable member motion C” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. It is set to be selected. Therefore, in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice”, either “movable member operation B” or “movable member operation C” is selected, and the selected movable member operation is performed. Done. In the third movable member operation determination table 301C, numerical data is set so that the ratio at which the movable member operation is selected is “movable member operation B”> “movable member operation C”. Further, in the third movable member operation determination table 301C, numerical data of SR15 is set so that “movable member operation A” is not selected as compared with the second movable member operation determination table 301B. Thereby, the third movable member operation determination table 301 </ b> C does not decrease the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the notice effect that is selected previously. In other words, with respect to the second (this time) fluctuation at the time of the big hit “2 times of pseudo-ream”, by selecting a movable member operation using the third movable member operation determination table 301C, 1 of “2 times of pseudo-ream” is selected. The prohibition process for prohibiting selection of the notice effect having lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change is performed.

  In the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D of (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, among “movable member operation A” and “movable member operation B”. Settings are made so that either one is selected. Therefore, in the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times”, either “movable member operation A” or “movable member operation B” is selected, and the selected movable member operation is selected. Is done. In the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D, numerical data is set so that the selected ratio regarding the movable member operation is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”. In the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio at which “movable member operation B” is selected is higher than that in the second movable member operation determination table 301B.

  In the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E of (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, among “movable member operation B” and “movable member operation C”. Settings are made so that either one is selected. Therefore, in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times”, either “movable member operation B” or “movable member operation C” is selected, and the selected movable member operation is selected. Is done. In the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E, numerical data is set so that the ratio at which the movable member operation is selected is “movable member operation B”> “movable member operation C”. In the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that “movable member operation C” is selected as compared with the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D.

  Also, in the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E, numerical data of SR15 is set so that “movable member operation A” is not selected as compared with the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D. As a result, the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E does not decrease the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed, as compared with the notice effect that has been selected previously. That is, for the second (this time) fluctuation at the time of the big hit “3 times of pseudo-ream”, by selecting the movable member operation using the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E, 1 of “3 times of pseudo-ream” is selected. The prohibition process for prohibiting selection of the notice effect having lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change is performed.

  In the sixth movable member motion determination table 301F in (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, either “movable member motion B” or “movable member motion C” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. It is set to be selected. Therefore, in the third variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous three times”, either “movable member operation B” or “movable member operation C” is selected, and the selected movable member operation is performed. Done. In the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F, numerical data is basically set such that the ratio of the movable member operation selected is “movable member operation C”> “movable member operation B”. Also, in the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F, the ratio of selecting “movable member operation B” is lower than in the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E, and the ratio of selecting “movable member operation C”. The numerical data of SR15 is set so that becomes higher. In the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that “movable member operation A” is not selected.

  However, with respect to the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the For the third (current) change of “3 times”, a prohibition process (movable) prohibiting the selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo three times” Member operation prohibition processing) is performed. For example, when “movable member operation C” is selected based on the fifth movable member operation determination table 301E for the second (previous) change of “pseudo sequence 3 times”, the third time of “pseudo sequence 3 times”. In the (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that the “movable member operation B” with low reliability is not selected.

  The contents of such a prohibition process of the movable member operation are as follows, for example. When selecting and determining the movable member operation as the advance notice pattern before executing the pseudo-variable display, the previous movable member operation data for specifying the determined movable member operation in response to the selection and determination of the movable member operation. Is stored (updated) in the previous movable member operation storage area of the RAM as data indicating the previous notice pattern. Such data indicating the previous notice pattern in the RAM is updated and stored every time the movable member operation is selected and determined for each variation in the pseudo sequence. When the movable member operation is selected and determined for the second and subsequent fluctuations (revariations) in the quasi-ream, for example, an operation determination table such as the sixth movable member operation determination table 301F is used every time the movable member operation is selected and determined. For the presently selected movable member operation, which is the selected movable member operation, the previous movable member operation specified by the previous movable member operation data is compared with the reliability of the big hit. When the currently selected movable member motion is less reliable than the previous movable member motion, the previous movable member motion content is moved as it is in the current variation so that the movable member motion with lower reliability than the previous variation is not determined. Determined as member motion. On the other hand, when the reliability of the currently selected movable member operation is equal to or higher than the reliability of the previous movable member operation, the currently selected movable member operation is determined as the movable member operation in the current variation. Specifically, the comparison of the reliability that becomes a big hit about the notice pattern in the prohibition processing as described above is performed as follows. For each of a plurality of types of movable member operations, for example, flags having different numerical values are associated in advance (for example, the flag value is set so that the higher the reliability that is a big hit, the higher the numerical value). The flag corresponding to the type of the movable member operation is set as data indicating the previous movable member operation. Then, the flag set as the previous movable member operation is compared with the flag corresponding to the movable member operation in the current variation, and the currently selected movable member operation and the previous movable member are based on the magnitude relationship of the numerical values of the flags. It is determined which is more reliable by operation.

  Next, the contents of the seventh movable member operation determination table 301G to the fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O that are used when the fluctuation display result is out of place (including both reach out and non reach out) will be described. FIG. 99 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the seventh movable member operation determination table 301G to the fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O.

  99, (A) to (I) show the seventh movable member operation determination table 301G to the fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O. In each movable member operation determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR15 and the display content of the selected movable member operation (movable member operation in the figure) is shown.

  In the seventh movable member operation determination table 301G of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, one of “movable member operation A” and “movable member operation B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. Settings are made so that the movement of the movable member is selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” in the reach deviation, either “movable member operation A” or “movable member operation B” is selected, and the selected movable member operation is performed. In the seventh movable member operation determination table 301G, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio of selecting “movable member operation A” is higher than “movable member operation B”.

  In the eighth movable member motion determination table 301H of (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, among the “movable member motion A” and “movable member motion B” Settings are made so that either one is selected. Therefore, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement of two pseudo-reams”, one of “movable member operation A” and “movable member operation B” is selected and selected. A movable member operation is performed. In the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H, numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio of the movable member operation is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”. In the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio of selecting “movable member operation B” is higher than that in the seventh movable member operation determination table 301G. In addition, in the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the rate at which “movable member operation B” is selected is lower than that in the second movable member operation determination table 301B when the big hit is achieved. Is set.

  In the ninth movable member motion determination table 301I in (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, either “movable member motion A” or “movable member motion B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. It is set to be selected. Accordingly, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement of two pseudo-reams”, one of “movable member operation A” and “movable member operation B” is selected, and the selected movable Member motion is performed. In the ninth movable member operation determination table 301I, numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the movable member operation is selected is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”. Further, in the ninth movable member operation determination table 301I, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio at which “movable member operation B” is selected is higher than that in the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H. Further, in the ninth movable member operation determination table 301I, “movable member operation C” cannot be selected and “movable member operation A” can be selected as compared with the third movable member operation determination table 301C when the big hit. The numerical data of SR15 is set so that

  However, with respect to the ninth movable member operation determination table 301I, in order to prevent the reliability that the big hit gaming state is executed after the notice effect is executed, the “pseudo-continuous operation” is not compared with the previously selected notice effect. For the second (current) change of “2 times”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of a notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. It is. For example, when “movable member operation B” is selected based on the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H for the first (previous) variation of “pseudo continuous 2 times”, the second “pseudo continuous 2 times” In the (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that the “movable member operation A” with low reliability is not selected. As such a prohibition process, the movable member operation prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the ninth movable member operation determination table 301I. Thus, the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed is not lowered in the ninth movable member operation determination table 301I as compared with the notice effect produced previously.

  In the tenth movable member motion determination table 301J in (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, among the “movable member motion A” and “movable member motion B” Settings are made so that either one is selected. Accordingly, in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement“ 3 pseudo-continuous ””, either “movable member operation A” or “movable member operation B” is selected and selected. A movable member operation is performed. In the tenth movable member operation determination table 301J, numerical data is basically set so that the selected ratio of the movable member operation is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”. In the tenth movable member operation determination table 301J, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio at which “movable member operation B” is selected is higher than that in the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H. In addition, in the tenth movable member operation determination table 301J, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio at which “movable member operation B” is selected is lower than that in the fourth movable member operation determination table 301D when the big hit. Is set.

  In the eleventh movable member motion determination table 301K in (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, either “movable member motion A” or “movable member motion B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. It is set to be selected. Accordingly, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement“ three pseudo-reams ”, one of“ movable member operation A ”and“ movable member operation B ”is selected, and the selected movable Member motion is performed. In the eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio of the movable member operation selected is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”. In addition, in the eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio of selecting “movable member operation B” is higher than that in the tenth movable member operation determination table 301J.

  However, with respect to the eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the For the second (this time) change of “3 times”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times” It is. For example, when “movable member operation B” is selected based on the tenth movable member operation determination table 301J for the first (previous) change of “pseudo sequence 3 times”, the second “pseudo sequence 3 times” In the (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that the “movable member operation A” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as the prohibition process, the movable member operation prohibition process having the above-described content is performed on the eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K. Thereby, the eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K does not decrease the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed, as compared to the notice effect selected previously.

  In the twelfth movable member motion determination table 301L in (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, either “movable member motion A” or “movable member motion B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. It is set to be selected. Therefore, in the third fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “displacement of“ pseudo-three times ””, either “movable member operation A” or “movable member operation B” is selected, and the selected movable Member motion is performed. In the twelfth movable member operation determination table 301L, numerical data is basically set so that the ratio at which the movable member operation is selected is “movable member operation A”> “movable member operation B”. In the twelfth movable member operation determination table 301L, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that “movable member operation C” is not selected. Further, in the twelfth movable member operation determination table 301L, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio of selecting “movable member operation B” is higher than that in the eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K.

  However, with respect to the twelfth movable member motion determination table 301L, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the For the third (current) change of “3 times”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit the selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo three times” It is. For example, when “movable member operation B” is selected based on the eleventh movable member operation determination table 301K for the second (previous) change of “pseudo sequence 3 times”, the third “pseudo sequence 3 times” is selected. In the (current) variation, a prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that the “movable member operation A” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as the prohibition process, the movable member operation prohibition process having the above-described contents is performed on the twelfth movable member operation determination table 301L. Thereby, the twelfth movable member operation determination table 301L is not less reliable than the previously selected notice effect, that is, the big hit gaming state after the notice effect is executed.

  In the thirteenth movable member motion determination table 301M in (G), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, either “movable member motion A” or “movable member motion B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. It is set to be selected. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” that is out of reach, either “movable member operation A” or “movable member operation B” is selected, and “the selected movable member operation is performed. In the 13 movable member operation determination table 301M, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio of selecting “movable member operation A” is higher than “movable member operation B”.

  In the fourteenth movable member operation determination table 301N in (H), only the movable member operation of “movable member operation A” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15. Settings are made. Accordingly, only the “movable member operation A” is selected in the first fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” of non-reach. In the fourteenth movable member operation determination table 301N, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that “movable member operation B” is not selected as compared with the thirteenth movable member operation determination table 301M and the eighth movable member operation determination table 301H. Has been.

  In the fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O in (I), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR15, one of “movable member operation A” and “movable member operation B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15. Settings are made so that the movement of the movable member is selected. Therefore, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “non-reach” “pseudo-continuous two times”, either “movable member operation A” or “movable member operation B” is selected, and the selected movable Member motion is performed. In the fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O, the numerical data of SR15 is basically set so that the ratio of selecting “movable member operation A” is higher than “movable member operation B”. In the fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that “movable member operation B” can be selected as compared with the fourteenth movable member operation determination table 301N. Further, in the fifteenth movable member operation determination table 301O, the numerical data of SR15 is set so that the ratio at which “movable member operation B” is selected is lower than the ninth movable member operation determination table 301I when the reach is shifted. Is set.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the example which selects the production | presentation aspect performed from among the production | presentation aspect (movable member operation | movement AC) provided with multiple types was shown about movable member operation | movement. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there is only one type of effect mode for the movable member operation, and when it is determined to execute the movable member advance notice, only the movable member operation of the one type of effect mode is executed. You may set as follows. In this way, when it is determined that only the movable member operation of one kind of effect mode is executed when it is determined to execute the movable member advance notice, for example, the greater the number of pseudo-series fluctuations, the more What is necessary is just to make it easy to select performing member operation.

  Further, regarding the movable member operation, when it is determined to execute the movable member notice based on the extracted value of the random number SR14, among the effects of the movable member selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR15, An option not to execute the movable member notice such as “no movable member operation” may be provided. For example, the ratio at which “no moving member operation” is selected may be reduced as the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations increases. In this way, it is clearly possible to vary the ratio of whether or not to execute the movable member notice according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations.

  Further, in each of the movable member operation determination tables as described above, the upper limit value of the random number value used for determining the selection of the movable member operation is different for the first variation, the second variation, and the third variation. May be set. By doing so, it is possible to vary the selection distribution.

  Also, in the case where the third notice effect is to be executed and the notice pattern at the time of execution is selected and determined using one random value, there is no third notice effect for each variation pattern in FIG. The random number SR14 is set to the value of the random announcement value SR14 and the plurality of types of notice patterns, such as 1 notice pattern (with the third notice effect), second notice pattern (with the third notice effect),. Allotted to each, and based on the extracted value of the random number SR14, whether or not to execute the third notice effect, and the notice pattern at the time of execution may be selected and determined. In that case, the various tables shown in FIGS. 97 to 99 are not used. In such a case, the data table for selecting and determining whether or not to execute the third notice effect with the use of one random number value is used for the third notice effect. It is only necessary to separately provide such data tables according to the number of times of pseudo-continuous change.

  FIG. 100 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the fourth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200C stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100. The fourth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200C is a table referred to in order to decide whether or not to execute the fourth notice effect. In the fourth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200C, the random number SR16 for determining the execution of the fourth notice effect is “no fourth notice effect” or “in accordance with the change pattern indicated in the change pattern designation command”. It is assigned to one of the “mini character notice”.

  In the setting of the fourth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200C, the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “non-reach deviation”, the reach deviation deviation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “reach deviation”, and the fluctuation display. The value of the random number SR16 corresponding to each selection item so that the allocation for each selection item of “No 4th notice effect” and “Mini character notice” is different from the big hit fluctuation pattern in which the result is “big hit” Is set.

  Specifically, in the setting of the fourth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200C, the mini character notice is selected for the big hit fluctuation pattern than for the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern and the reach deviation deviation pattern. A large percentage. Thereby, when it is a big hit, the fourth notice effect is more easily performed than when it is a loss. For this reason, when the 4th notice production by a mini character notice is performed, a player's expectation about a big hit occurrence can be raised. Further, when the reach is lost, the fourth notice effect is more easily performed than when the non-reach is lost. For this reason, when the 4th notice production by a mini character notice is performed, a player's expectation about the occurrence of reach can be raised. In addition, the mini-character notice is set so that the proportion selected when it is out of date is much higher than other notice effects such as the aforementioned movable member notice. Note that the mini character notice may be set so that the selected ratio is equal to or lower than other notice effects such as the aforementioned movable member notice. In addition, since the mini character notice is performed using an image that is less visible than other images such as production symbols, it is more likely to be selected when it comes off, and other notices The reliability that is a big hit is considered to be significantly low.

  In FIG. 100, an example is shown in which there is only one type of the notice pattern type that can be selected as the fourth notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the target of the notice pattern type that can be selected as the fourth notice effect may be two or more kinds.

  Further, in the fourth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200C shown in FIG. 100, for each of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern, the reach deviation deviation pattern, and the big hit fluctuation pattern, according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations in the fluctuation pattern, The ratio at which each of the fourth notice effect and the mini character notice is selected and determined may be made different (for example, the ratio at which the mini character notice is selected increases as the number of pseudo-continuous fluctuations increases).

  FIG. 101 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a notice selection table as a data table used for selecting a table used when determining a specific notice pattern after determining whether or not to execute the fourth notice effect.

  In FIG. 101, (A) shows a mini character notice selection table for the big hit. (B) shows a mini-character notice selection table at the time of reach failure. In FIG. 101, (C) shows a non-reach off-time mini character notice selection table. These notice selection tables are all stored in the ROM of the production control microcomputer 100.

  The jackpot mini character notice selection table shown in (A) is a mini character display decision used for determining a specific notice pattern when a mini character notice is decided as a notice pattern type when a big hit variation pattern is designated. It is a data table for selecting a table. In the big hit time mini character notice selection table, data is set to select a different mini character display determination table according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern specified by the effect control command. Has been.

  In the big hit mini character notice selection table shown in (A), specifically, the mini character display determination table is selected as follows. When the variation pattern “no pseudo-ream” is designated, the first mini character display determination table 302A shown in FIG. 102 is selected.

  When the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is designated, the second mini character display determination table 302B shown in FIG. 102 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the first variation (at the first variation), The third mini character display determination table 302C shown in FIG. 102 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  When the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” is designated, the fourth mini character display determination table 302D shown in FIG. 102 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the first variation (at the first variation), The fifth mini character display determination table 302E shown in FIG. 102 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change), and the notice pattern at the time of the third change (at the time of change) is determined. The sixth mini character display determination table 302F shown in FIG. 102 is selected.

  The reach-out mini-character notice selection table shown in (B) is specific when the mini-character notice is determined as the notice pattern type when the reach-out change pattern with the fluctuation display result of “reach out” is specified. FIG. 10 is a data table for selecting a mini character display determination table used for determining a specific notice pattern. FIG. In the non-reach mini-character notice selection table, the data is selected so that a different mini-character display determination table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern specified by the effect control command. Is set.

  In the out-of-reach mini-character notice selection table shown in (B), specifically, the mini-character display determination table is selected as follows. For example, when the variation pattern “no pseudo-ream” is designated, the seventh mini character display determination table 302G shown in FIG. 103 is selected.

  Further, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is designated, the eighth mini character display determination table 302H shown in FIG. 103 is selected in order to determine the notice pattern at the first variation (at the first variation), The ninth mini character display determination table 302I shown in FIG. 103 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  Further, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” is designated, the tenth mini character display determination table 302J shown in FIG. 103 is selected in order to determine the notice pattern at the time of the first variation (at the first variation), The eleventh mini character display determination table 302K shown in FIG. 103 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change), and the notice pattern at the time of the third change (at the time of change) is determined. The twelfth mini character display determination table 302L shown in FIG. 103 is selected.

  The non-reach out-of-reach mini character notice selection table shown in (C) shows that when a non-reach out-of-flight variation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “non-reach out of place” is designated, and the mini character notice is determined as the notice pattern type. This is a data table for selecting a mini character display determination table used for determining a specific notice pattern. In the non-reach out-of-reach mini-character notice selection table, data is selected so that a different mini-character display determination table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern specified by the effect control command. Is set.

  Specifically, in the non-reach step-up notice selection table shown in (C), the mini character display determination table is selected as follows. For example, when the variation pattern “no pseudo-ream” is designated, the thirteenth mini character display determination table 302M shown in FIG. 103 is selected.

  In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is designated, the 14th mini-character display determination table 302N shown in FIG. 103 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the first variation (at the first variation), The fifteenth mini character display determination table 302O shown in FIG. 103 is selected to determine the notice pattern at the time of the second change (at the time of re-change).

  In addition, the table used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the first change (mini character display decision) about the mini character notice selection table at the time of big hit, the mini character notice selection table at the time of non-reach, and the mini character notice selection table at the time of non-reach In this example, three or two tables are provided as the table), and the table is selectively used according to the presence / absence of the pseudo-ream and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-ream. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created by sharing three or two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the first change, and the one table is used in the presence or absence of the pseudo-series and the pseudo-series. The notice selection table may be set so as to be commonly used according to the number of fluctuations. Specifically, for example, in the case of the big hit mini character notice selection table, the first mini character display determination table 302A, the second mini character display determination table 302B, and the fourth mini character display determination table 302D are shared. In addition, in the case of the non-reach out of time mini character notice selection table, the 13th mini character display determination table 302M and the 14th mini character display determination table 302N are shared by one table so as to be a big hit, Further, the table is shared according to whether or not the reach is reached in the case of a loss.

  In addition, for each of the mini character notice selection table at the time of the big hit and the mini character notice selection table at the time of the loss of reach, two tables are provided as tables (mini character display decision tables) used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the second fluctuation. An example of using different tables according to the presence / absence of pseudo-ream and the number of fluctuations in the pseudo-ream is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single table is created in which two tables used for determining the notice pattern at the time of the second change are created. Accordingly, the notice selection table may be set so as to be used in common. Specifically, for example, in the case of the big hit button notice selection table, whether the third mini character display determination table 302C and the fifth mini character display determination table 302E are shared by one table or not is determined depending on whether or not it is a big hit. Separate and share the table.

  As described above, when a common table is used as the mini character notice selection table, either the first fluctuation mini character notice selection table or the second change mini character notice selection table is shared. Alternatively, both of the first variable time mini character notice selection table and the second change time mini character notice selection table may be used in common.

  Next, the contents of the first mini character display determination table 302A to the sixth mini character display determination table 302F used when the variable display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 102 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the first mini character display determination table 302A to the sixth mini character display determination table 302F.

  In FIG. 102, (A) to (F) show a first mini character display determination table 302A to a sixth mini character display determination table 302F. In each mini character display determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR17 and the selected mini character display effect contents (mini character display in the figure) is shown.

  In each mini character display determination table for determining the mini character display of the mini character notice shown in the following description, the data “mini character display A” is data indicating that the mini character display A of FIG. 70 (B1) is performed. Therefore, when mini character display data called mini character display A is selected, an effect of executing mini character display A is performed. In the mini character display determination table described below, the data “mini character display B” is data indicating that the mini character display B in FIG. 70 (B2) is performed. Therefore, when mini character display data called mini character display B is selected, an effect of executing mini character display B is performed. Further, the data “mini character display C” is data indicating that the mini character display C of FIG. 70 (B3) is performed. Therefore, when mini character display data called mini character display C is selected, an effect of executing mini character display C is performed.

  In the first mini-character display determination table 302A of (A), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, “mini-character display A”, “mini-character display B”, and “mini-character display C” based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. Is set to be selected. Therefore, when the variation pattern is “no pseudo-continuous”, any one of “mini character display A”, “mini character display B”, and “mini character display C” is selected, and the selected mini character display is performed. In the first mini character display determination table 302A, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio of selecting the mini character display is “mini character display A”> “mini character display B”> “mini character display C”.

  In the second mini-character display determination table 302B of (B), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, either “mini-character display A” or “mini-character display B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. It is set to be selected. Therefore, in the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice”, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected, and the selected mini character display is performed. . In the second mini character display determination table 302B, the numerical data is basically set so that the selection ratio for mini character display is “mini character display A”> “mini character display B”.

  In the third mini character display determination table 302C of (C), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, either “mini character display B” or “mini character display C” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. It is set to do so. Accordingly, in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice”, either “mini character display B” or “mini character display C” is selected, and the selected mini character display is performed. In the third mini character display determination table 302C, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio of selecting the mini character display is “mini character display B”> “mini character display C”. In the third mini character display determination table 302C, numerical data of SR17 is set so that “mini character display A” is not selected as compared with the second mini character display determination table 302B. As a result, the third mini character display determination table 302C does not have lower reliability in which the big hit gaming state is executed after the notice effect is executed, compared to the notice effect selected previously. In other words, for the second (this time) change at the time of the big hit “2 pseudo-reams”, by selecting the mini character display using the third mini-character display determination table 302C, The prohibition process for prohibiting selection of the notice effect having lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the previous variation is performed.

  In the fourth mini character display determination table 302D of (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected based on the extracted value of random number SR17. It is set to be selected. Therefore, in the first variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo three times”, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected, and the selected mini character display is performed. . In the fourth mini character display determination table 302D, the numerical data is basically set so that the selection ratio for mini character display is “mini character display A”> “mini character display B”. In the fourth mini character display determination table 302D, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio at which “mini character display B” is selected is higher than that in the second mini character display determination table 302B.

  In the fifth mini-character display determination table 302E of (E), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, one of “mini-character display B” and “mini-character display C” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. It is set to be selected. Therefore, in the second variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo three times”, either “mini character display B” or “mini character display C” is selected, and the selected mini character display is performed. . In the fifth mini character display determination table 302E, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio of selecting the mini character display is “mini character display B”> “mini character display C”. Also, in the fifth mini character display determination table 302E, numerical data of SR17 is set so that “mini character display C” is selected as compared with the fourth mini character display determination table 302D.

  Also, in the fifth mini character display determination table 302E, numerical data of SR17 is set so that “mini character display A” is not selected as compared with the fourth mini character display determination table 302D. As a result, the fifth mini character display determination table 302E is not less reliable than the previously selected notice effect, in which the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed. In other words, for the second (this time) change at the time of the big hit “3 pseudo-reams”, by selecting the mini character display using the fifth mini-character display determination table 302E, the first “3rd pseudo-ream” ( The prohibition process for prohibiting selection of the notice effect having lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the previous variation is performed.

  In the sixth mini character display determination table 302F of (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, either “mini character display B” or “mini character display C” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. It is set to do so. Therefore, in the third variation in the variation pattern of “pseudo three times”, either “mini character display B” or “mini character display C” is selected, and the selected mini character display is performed. In the sixth mini character display determination table 302F, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio of selecting the mini character display is “mini character display C”> “mini character display B”. Also, in the sixth mini character display determination table 302F, the ratio of selecting “mini character display B” is lower and the ratio of selecting “mini character display C” is higher than in the fifth mini character display determination table 302E. The numerical data of SR17 is set in In the sixth mini character display determination table 302F, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that “mini character display A” is not selected.

  However, with respect to the sixth mini character display determination table 302F, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-ream 3 For the second (this time) change of “Time”, a prohibition process (mini character display) prohibits the selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “Pseudo 3 times” Forbidden processing). For example, when “mini character display C” is selected based on the fifth mini character display determination table 302E for the second (previous) variation of “pseudo three times”, the second “pseudo three times” (this time) ), A prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “mini character display B” with low reliability is not selected.

  The contents of the prohibition process of such mini character display are, for example, as follows. When selecting and determining the mini character display as the notice pattern before executing the pseudo-variable display, the previous mini character display data for identifying the determined mini character display is selected according to the selection of the mini character display. Data indicating the pattern is stored (updated) in the previous mini character display storage area of the RAM. Data indicating the previous notice pattern in the RAM is updated and stored every time the mini character display is selected and determined for each variation in the pseudo-ream. When the mini character display is selected and determined for the second and subsequent changes (re-changes) in the pseudo-ream, each time the mini character display is selected and determined, for example, it is selected using an action determination table such as the sixth mini character display determination table 302F. For the currently selected mini character display that is a mini character display, the previous mini character display specified by the previous mini character display data is compared with the reliability that is a big hit. When the selected mini character display is lower in reliability than the previous mini character display, the content of the previous mini character display is determined as the mini character display in the current change so that the mini character display with lower reliability than the previous change is not determined. . On the other hand, when the reliability of the currently selected mini character display is higher than the reliability of the previous mini character display, the currently selected mini character display is determined as the mini character display in the current variation. Specifically, the comparison of the reliability that becomes a big hit about the notice pattern in the prohibition processing as described above is performed as follows. For each of the various types of mini character displays, for example, flags having different numerical values are associated in advance (for example, the flag value is set so that the higher the reliability that is a big hit, the larger the numerical value). The flag corresponding to the type of mini character display is set as data indicating the previous mini character display. Then, the flag set as the previous mini character display is compared with the flag corresponding to the mini character display in this change, and based on the magnitude relationship of the numerical value of the flag, which is the current selection mini character display or the previous mini character display? Judge whether reliability is high.

It is set to be selected. Accordingly, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-ream” out of reach, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected, and the selected mini character display is performed. In the seventh mini character display determination table 302G, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio of selecting “mini character display A” is higher than “mini character display B”.

Is done. In the eighth mini character display determination table 302H, the numerical data is basically set so that the selection ratio for mini character display is “mini character display A”> “mini character display B”. In the eighth mini character display determination table 302H, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio of “mini character display B” is higher than that in the seventh mini character display determination table 302G.

Also, in the ninth mini character display determination table 302I, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio of selecting “mini character display B” is higher than that in the eighth mini character display determination table 302H. Further, in the ninth mini character display determination table 302I, “mini character display C” cannot be selected and “mini character display A” can be selected as compared with the third mini character display determination table 302C when the big hit is made. Numerical data of SR17 is set.

  However, regarding the ninth mini character display determination table 302I, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed, compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuous 2 For the second time (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-continuous 2 times”. . For example, when “mini character display B” is selected on the basis of the eighth mini character display determination table 302H for the first (previous) change of “pseudo continuous two times”, the second “pseudo continuous time” (this time) ), A prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “mini character display A” with low reliability is not selected. As such prohibition processing, the mini character display prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the ninth mini character display determination table 302I. As a result, the ninth mini character display determination table 302I is not less reliable than the previously selected notice effect, in which a big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed.

  In the tenth mini character display determination table 302J in (D), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected based on the extracted value of random number SR17. It is set to be selected.

Is done. In the tenth mini character display determination table 302J, the numerical data is basically set so that the selection ratio for mini character display is “mini character display A”> “mini character display B”. In the tenth mini character display determination table 302J, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio at which “mini character display B” is selected is higher than that in the eighth mini character display determination table 302H.

It is set to do so. Therefore, in the second fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo three times” that is out of reach, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected, and the selected mini character display is Done. In the eleventh mini character display determination table 302K, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio of selecting the mini character display is “mini character display A”> “mini character display B”. Also, in the eleventh mini character display determination table 302K, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio of selecting “mini character display B” is higher than that in the tenth mini character display determination table 302J.

  However, with respect to the eleventh mini character display determination table 302K, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuation 3 For the second (current) change of “time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect with lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the first (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “mini character display B” is selected based on the tenth mini character display determination table 302J for the first (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, the second “pseudo three times” (this time) ), A prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “mini character display A” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the mini character display prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed for the eleventh mini character display determination table 302K. As a result, the eleventh mini-character display determination table 302K is not less reliable than the previously selected notice effect, in which the big hit gaming state is achieved after the notice effect is executed.

  In the twelfth mini character display determination table 302L of (F), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. It is set to do so. Accordingly, in the third fluctuation in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo three times” that is out of reach, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected, and the selected mini character display is Done. In the twelfth mini character display determination table 302L, the numerical data is basically set so that the ratio of selecting the mini character display is “mini character display A”> “mini character display B”.

Also, in the twelfth mini character display determination table 302L, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio at which “mini character display B” is selected is higher than that in the eleventh mini character display determination table 302K.

  However, with respect to the twelfth mini character display determination table 302L, in order to prevent the reliability of the big hit gaming state after the notice effect has been executed compared to the previously selected notice effect, the “pseudo-continuation 3 For the third time (current) change of “Time”, a prohibition process is performed to prohibit selection of the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the second (previous) change of “pseudo-three times”. . For example, when “mini character display B” is selected based on the eleventh mini character display determination table 302K for the second (previous) change of “pseudo three times”, the third time of “pseudo three times” (this time) ), A prohibition process is performed to change the setting so that “mini character display A” with low reliability is not selected. Specifically, as such prohibition processing, the mini character display prohibition processing having the above-described contents is performed on the twelfth mini character display determination table 302L. As a result, the twelfth mini character display determination table 302L is not less reliable than the previously selected notice effect when the notice effect is executed after the notice effect is executed.

  In the thirteenth mini character display determination table 302M in (G), either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17 as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17. It is set to do so.

In the determination table 302M, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that the ratio of “mini character display A” being selected is higher than “mini character display B”.

  In the 14th mini character display determination table 302N of (H), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, only the mini character display of “mini character display A” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. ing. Accordingly, only “mini character display A” is selected in the first variation in the case of the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” of non-reach. In the fourteenth mini character display determination table 302N, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that “mini character display B” is not selected as compared with the thirteenth mini character display determination table 302M and the eighth mini character display determination table 302H.

  In the fifteenth mini character display determination table 302O of (I), as shown in the numerical value setting of SR17, one of the mini character displays of “mini character display A” and “mini character display B” is displayed based on the extracted value of the random number SR17. It is set to be selected. Accordingly, in the second variation in the case of the non-reach out of the “pseudo-continuous twice” variation pattern, either “mini character display A” or “mini character display B” is selected, and the selected mini character display is Done. In the fifteenth mini character display determination table 302O, the numerical data of SR17 is basically set so that the ratio of selecting “mini character display A” is higher than “mini character display B”. Also, in the fifteenth mini character display determination table 302O, the numerical data of SR17 is set so that “mini character display B” can be selected as compared with the fourteenth mini character display determination table 302N.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the example which selects the production | presentation aspect performed from the production | presentation aspect (mini character display AC) provided in multiple types about the mini character display was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for the mini character display, there is one type of effect mode, and when it is decided to execute the mini character notice, only the mini character display of the one type of effect mode is executed. May be.

  As for the mini character display, “mini character display” is included among the effects of mini character display selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR17 when it is decided to execute the mini character notice based on the extracted value of the random number SR16. An option not to execute the mini character display such as “no display” may be provided, and the ratio at which “no mini character display” is selected may be varied depending on the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations. For example, the ratio at which “no mini character display” is selected may be set to decrease as the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations increases. In this way, it is possible to clearly vary the ratio of whether or not to execute the mini character notice according to the number of pseudo-continuous fluctuations.

  In addition, for each mini character display determination table as described above, the upper limit value of the random value used for determining the selection of the mini character display is set to be different for the first variation, the second variation, and the third variation. May be. By doing so, it is possible to vary the selection distribution.

  In the case where the fourth notice effect is to be executed and the notice pattern at the time of execution is selected and determined using one random number value, the fourth notice effect is not provided for each variation pattern in FIG. The random number SR16 is set to the value of the random announcement value SR16 without the fourth notice effect and a plurality of kinds of notice patterns, such as 1 notice pattern (with the fourth notice effect), second notice pattern (with the fourth notice effect),. Allotted to each, and based on the extracted value of the random value SR16, whether or not to execute the fourth notice effect, and the notice pattern at the time of execution may be selected and determined. In that case, the various tables shown in FIGS. 101 to 103 are not used. In such a case, the data table for selecting and determining whether or not the fourth notice effect is to be executed, and using one random number value as the notice pattern when the fourth notice effect is to be executed, is used. It is only necessary to separately provide such data tables according to the number of times of pseudo-continuous change.

  FIG. 104 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the fifth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200D stored in the ROM of the effect control microcomputer 100. The fifth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200D is a table that is referred to in order to decide whether or not to execute the fifth notice effect. In the fifth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200D, the random number SR18 for determining the execution of the fifth notice effect is “no fifth notice effect” or “in accordance with the change pattern indicated in the change pattern designation command” or “ Allotted to one of the group notices.

  According to the setting of the fifth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200D, the fifth notice effect is defined as a reach deviation change pattern in which the change display result is “reach out of reach” and a big hit change pattern in which the change display result is “big hit”. The value of the random number SR18 corresponding to each selection item is set so that the allocation for the selection items “none” and “group notice” is different. The group notice as the fifth notice effect is a notice effect executed after reaching the reach state, and therefore is not selected when the variable display result is out of reach.

  In the setting of the fifth notice effect notice pattern execution decision table 200D, specifically, the ratio of selecting the group notice is larger in the case of the big hit fluctuation pattern than in the case of the reach deviation fluctuation pattern. Thereby, when it is a big hit, the fifth notice effect is more easily performed than when it is lost. For this reason, when the 5th notice production by group notice is performed, a player's expectation about a big hit occurrence can be raised.

  Note that FIG. 104 shows an example in which there is only one type of target notice pattern type that can be selected as the fifth notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the target of the notice pattern type that can be selected as the fifth notice effect may be two or more kinds.

  Further, in the fifth advance notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200D shown in FIG. 104, for each of the reach deviation change pattern and the big hit change pattern, there is no fifth notice effect according to the number of pseudo continuous changes in the change pattern. In addition, the ratio at which each of the group notices is selected and determined may be different (for example, the ratio at which the group notice is selected is increased as the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations is increased).

  FIG. 105 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a notice selection table as a data table used for selecting a table used when determining a specific notice pattern after determining whether or not to execute the fifth notice effect.

  In the second group display determination table 303B of (B) that is referred to in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” when the non-probable big hit is hit, “group display D” <“group display A” <“group display” The numerical data of SR19 is set so that “B” <“group display C”.

  In the fifth group display determination table 303E of (E) referred to in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” when the probability variation is a big hit, “group display C” <“group display A” <“group display B” The numerical data of SR19 is set so that “<group display D”.

  In the eighth group display determination table 303H of (H) that is referred to in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” when the reach is out of reach, “group display D” <“group display C” <“group display B”. The numerical data of SR19 is set so that “<group display A”.

  In addition, with reference to (C), (F), and (I) of FIG. 106, the ratio of selecting the group display type to be executed in the case of the “pseudo-continuous three times” variation pattern will be described.

  In the third group display determination table 303C of (C) referred to in the case of the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times” when a non-probable big hit, “group display A” <“group display D” <“group display” The numerical data of SR19 is set so that “B” <“group display C”.

  In the sixth group display determination table 303F of (F) that is referred to in the case of the variation pattern of “pseudo three times” when the probability variation is a big hit, “group display A” <“group display C” <“group display B”. The numerical data of SR19 is set so that “<group display D”.

  In the ninth group display determination table 303I of (G) which is referred to in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo three times” when the reach is out of reach, “group display D” <“group display C” <“group display B”. The numerical data of SR19 is set so that “<group display A”.

  From the above, when the big hit (tables (A) to (F)) is compared with the case where the reach is lost (tables (G) to (I)), the reach of “group display A” is not correct. It is selected at a lower rate when it is a big hit than when it is, and “group display B”, “group display C”, and “group display D” Is selected at a higher rate. As a result, the reliability when the “group display B”, “group display C”, and “group display D” are performed is larger than when the “group display A” is performed. It can be said that the degree is high.

  In addition, the ratio at which any one of “group display B”, “group display C”, and “group display D” is performed is either a non-probable variable big hit, a probable big hit, or a reach deviation. Is set to be the lowest in the case of “no quasi-continuous” and higher in the order of “2 quasi-continuous” and “3 quasi-continuous”, that is, as the number of quasi-continuous increases. ing.

  Further, when “group display B” is compared with “group display C” and “group display D”, “group display C” and “group display D” are more out of reach than “group display B”. The percentage that is selected when the big hit is higher than the time. For this reason, it can be said that the reliability of the big hit is higher when the “group display C” or the “group display D” is performed than when the “group display B” is performed.

  Also, when the non-probable big hit ((A) to (C)) is compared with the probable big hit ((D) to (F)), the “group display C” is the probable big hit. A higher probability is selected when the odd probability big hit is selected, and “group display D” is selected at a higher rate when the positive probability big hit is selected than when the non-probable big hit. For this reason, it can be said that the reliability when the “group display D” is performed is higher than that when the “group display C” is performed.

  In the case where the fifth notice effect is to be executed and the notice pattern at the time of execution is selected and determined using one random value, the fifth notice effect is not provided for each variation pattern in FIG. The random number SR18 is set to the value of the random announcement value SR18 and the plurality of types of notice patterns, such as 1 notice pattern (with the fifth notice effect), second notice pattern (with the fifth notice effect),. Allotted to each, and based on the extracted value of the random value SR18, whether or not to execute the fifth notice effect, and the notice pattern at the time of execution may be selected and determined. In that case, the various tables shown in FIGS. 105 and 106 are not used. In such a case, the data table for selecting and determining whether or not the fifth notice effect is to be executed using one random number value is used as the fifth notice effect. It is only necessary to separately provide such a data table depending on whether it is a big hit or not and whether the pseudo-ream changes.

  FIG. 107 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S705) in the main process shown in FIG. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 performs one of S800 to S807 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (S800): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern command is received from the game control microcomputer 560. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the variation pattern command reception flag set in the command analysis process is set. If the variation pattern command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation start process (S801).

  Production symbol variation start processing (S801): Control is performed so that variation of the production symbol and the decoration symbol is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S802).

  Production symbol variation processing (S802): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitors the end of the variation time. Then, when the variation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (S803).

  Effect symbol variation stop processing (S803): Based on the reception of the effect control command (design determination designation command) instructing all symbols to stop, the variation of the effect symbol (and the decorative symbol) is stopped and the display result (stop symbol) Control to derive and display. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (S804) or the variation pattern command reception waiting process (S800).

  Big hit display process (S804): After the end of the variation time, the effect display device 9 is controlled to display a screen for notifying the occurrence of big hit or small hit. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the in-round processing (S805).

  In-round processing (S805): Display control during round is performed. In addition, in a gaming machine that executes a so-called probability variation promotion effect, a probability variation promotion effect is executed when a flag indicating that the probability variation promotion effect is being executed, which indicates execution of the probability variation promotion effect, is set. If the round end condition is satisfied, if the final round has not ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the post-round processing (S806). If the final round has ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end process (S807).

  Post-round processing (S806): Display control between rounds is performed. If the round start condition is satisfied, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the in-round processing (S805).

  Big hit end effect processing (S807): In the effect display device 9, display control for notifying the player that the big hit game state has ended is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern command reception waiting process (S800).

  FIG. 108 is a flowchart showing the variation pattern command reception waiting process (S800) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the variation pattern command reception waiting process, the effect control CPU 101 confirms whether or not the variation pattern command reception flag is set (S811). If the variation pattern command reception flag is set, the variation pattern command reception flag is reset (S812). Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation start process (S801) (S813).

  109 and 110 are flowcharts showing the effect symbol variation start process (S801) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the effect symbol variation start process, the effect control CPU 101 confirms whether or not it is determined to be off (S501). Whether or not it is determined to be out of place is determined by, for example, whether or not a display result 1 designation command is stored in the display result specifying command storage area. Note that whether or not it is determined to be out of play may be confirmed based on a change pattern command that can specify whether or not to make a big hit. If it is determined to be off, it is confirmed whether or not a command corresponding to the non-reach variation pattern is received as the variation pattern command (S502). Whether or not a command corresponding to the non-reach variation pattern has been received is determined by, for example, data stored in the variation pattern command storage area.

  When it is determined that the command corresponding to the non-reach variation pattern has been received, the effect control CPU 101 determines a stop symbol of the effect symbol that does not reach (S504). In the process of S504, the final stop symbol determination table 160A shown in FIG. 53A is selected as the use table. Next, the value of the random number SR1-1 for determining the first final stop symbol is extracted. Then, based on the value of the extracted random number SR1-1, the effect symbol that becomes the left final stop symbol FZ1-1 is determined by referring to the final stop symbol determination table 160A. Next, the final stop symbol determination table 160B shown in FIG. 53 (B) is selected as a use table. Subsequently, the value of the random number SR1-2 for determining the second final stop symbol is extracted. Then, based on the value of the extracted random number SR1-2, the effect symbol to be the right final stop symbol FZ1-2 is determined by referring to the final stop symbol determination table 160B. Further, based on the combination of the left final stop symbol FZ1-1 and the right final stop symbol FZ1-2, by referring to the left / right output determination table 161 shown in FIG. 54, the left / right output type DC1-1 is Determine which of the multiple types. Next, the final stop symbol determination table 160C shown in FIG. 53 (C) is selected as a use table. Further, the value of the random number SR1-3 for determining the third final stop symbol is extracted. Then, based on the value of the extracted random number SR1-3 and the left and right outcome type DC1-1, the effect symbol that becomes the middle final stop symbol FZ1-3 is determined by referring to the final stop symbol determination table 160C.

  In the process of S504, by referring to the final stop symbol determination tables 160A to 160C and the left / right outcome determination table 161, by determining the effect symbols to be the left middle right final stop symbols FZ1-1 to FZ1-3, the effect symbol Don't use a stop combination or a jackpot combination. Further, even if the combination is not a reach combination or a jackpot combination, the pseudo consecutive chances GC1 to GC8 shown in FIG. 12 or a fixed non-reach combination as shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in the process of S502 that the pattern is not a non-reach variation pattern, the effect control CPU 101 determines a stop symbol of the effect symbols constituting the reach combination (S505). In the process of S505, the final stop symbol determination table 162A shown in FIG. 56A is selected as the use table. Further, the value of the random number SR1-1 for determining the first final stop symbol is extracted. Then, based on the value of the extracted random number SR1-1, the same effect design to be the left final stop symbol FZ2-1 and the right final stop symbol FZ2-2 is determined by referring to the final stop symbol determination table 162A. Next, the final stop symbol determination table 162B shown in FIG. 56 (B) is selected as the use table. Further, the value of the random number SR1-3 for determining the third final stop symbol is extracted. Then, referring to the final stop symbol determination table 162B based on the value of the extracted random number SR1-3, the effect symbols that become the left and right final stop symbols FZ2-1 and FZ2-2 and the middle final stop symbol FZ2-3 are obtained. The design difference from the production design is determined. The effect control CPU 101 determines an effect symbol to be the middle final stop symbol FZ2-3 according to the determined symbol difference.

  As described above, in the processing of S505, the effect control CPU 101 first uses the final stop symbol determination table 162A, and finally “left” other than the “medium” symbol display area 9C in which the effect symbol is stopped and displayed. The right and left final stop symbols FZ2-1 and FZ2-2 that are stopped and displayed in the “right” symbol display areas 9L and 9R are determined. Next, using the final stop symbol determination table 162B, the effect symbol which becomes the middle final stop symbol FZ2-3 in the “medium” symbol display area 9C where the effect symbol is stopped and displayed last, and the left and right final stop symbol FZ2-1. , The design difference with the effect design to be FZ2-2 is determined, and the effect design to be the middle final stop design FZ2-3 is determined according to the determined design difference.

  When it is not determined to be out of place (S501), referring to FIG. 110, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it has been determined to be a sudden or small hit (S507). Whether or not it is determined to be inaccurate or small hit is determined, for example, by whether or not a display result 4 designation command or a display result 5 designation command (see FIG. 30) is stored in the display result specifying command storage area. Whether or not it is determined to be the accuracy or the small hit may be determined based on a variation pattern command that can specify whether the accuracy is the accuracy or the small hit. If it is determined that the accuracy or the small hit is determined, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern of the special PG1-3 (S507a). As described above, special PG1-3 is “non-reach” and the final stop symbol is a big hit symbol. Therefore, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern of special PG1-3, the final symbol of the bonus symbol combination symbol is final stopped. The symbol is determined (S511). On the other hand, if the variation pattern is not the variation pattern of the special PG 1-3, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern of the special PG 1-1 or the special PG 1-2 (S508). As shown in FIG. 14, the variation patterns of the special PG 1-1 and the special PG 1-2 are both variation patterns in which the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach”. If it is determined that the variation pattern is the special PG 1-1 or the special PG 1-2 in the process of S508, the process proceeds to S504, and the production control CPU 101 obtains the production pattern that will be the final stop design in the process of S504. decide.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the special PG 2-1 to the special PG 2-3, which are fluctuation patterns other than the special PG 1-1 to the special PG 1-3, among the fluctuation patterns at the time when the accuracy is determined as the accuracy or small hit. These variation patterns are variation patterns in which the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “reach”. Therefore, if it is determined in S508 that the variation pattern is other than the special PG 1-1 and the special PG 1-2, the process proceeds to S505 in FIG. An effect design to be a design is determined.

  Referring to FIG. 110, when the accuracy and the small hit are not determined (S507), the final stop symbol of the effect symbol of the big hit combination is determined (S511). In the processing of S511, the effect control CPU 101 selects the final stop symbol determination table 163A shown in FIG. When it is determined to make a big hit, the final stop symbol determination table 163B shown in FIG. 57B is selected as the use table. Further, the value of the random number SR1-1 for determining the first final stop symbol is extracted. Then, based on the value of the extracted random number SR1-1, the combination of the left middle right final stop symbols FZ3-1, FZ3-2, and FZ3-3 that will be the big hit symbol is determined by referring to the final stop symbol determination table 163A. Determine as a stop symbol. In addition, when it is decided to make a probable big hit, a stop symbol that generally reminds of a non-probable big hit such as “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” as the left middle right definite effect symbols. May be derived and displayed (see FIG. 57A), but in the final stop symbol determination table 163A, determination values are not assigned to “2”, “4”, “6”, “8”. Then, when it is determined to be a probable big hit, “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” may not be selected. Also, when it is decided to win a probable big hit, "2", "4", "6", "8" can be selected as the left middle right definite effect design, etc. In addition, by executing a so-called probability change promotion effect, the left middle right determined effect symbol displayed on the effect display device 9 may be changed to “7” or the like. Note that in a gaming machine that does not notify the probability variation state, the probability variation promotion effect is not executed, and it is difficult for the player to grasp the game state (whether or not it is the probability variation state) by the confirmed effect symbol. May be.

  After executing any of the processes of S504, S505, and S511, or after becoming “N” in the process of S508, the effect control CPU 101 executes a notice setting process (S516a in FIG. 109). The specific effect setting process is executed (S516 in FIG. 109).

  Note that the variation pattern of the special PG1-3 described above is selected when it is an abrupt or small hit, but may be selected when a big hit is 15 rounds. In that case, when the big hit is selected to be the variation pattern of the special PG1-3, in S507, the process proceeds to the process of determining the big hit symbol in S511. And S507a is not provided.

  111 and 112 are flowcharts showing the advance notice setting process. In the advance notice setting process, the effect control CPU 101 first determines and sets the first advance notice pattern type determination table 166 shown in FIG. 72 as a table to be used (S531). Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type is extracted (S532). Then, referring to the notice pattern type determination table, any one of the first notice effect, the button notice, and the first step-up notice is selected based on the numerical data indicating the random value SR7 extracted in S532 according to the variation pattern. The notice pattern type is determined and stored by selecting (S533).

  Next, in S533, it is determined whether or not it is decided to execute the first step notice as the first notice effect (S5330). When it is determined that it is determined to execute the first step advance notice, the step up notice content determination table shown in FIG. 73 is determined and set (S5331). Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR20 for determining the first step-up notice content is extracted (S5332). Then, referring to the step-up notice content determination table, based on the numerical data indicating the random value SR20 extracted in S5332, according to the variation pattern, one of the basic advance notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice is selected. By selecting, the type of the notice to be executed as the first step-up notice is determined and stored (S533).

  Next, the second notice effect notice pattern execution decision table 200A shown in FIG. 92 is decided and set as a table to be used (S533a). Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR12 for determining execution of the second notice effect is extracted (S533b). Then, referring to the second notice effect notice pattern execution decision table 200A, one of the second notice effect and the second step-up notice is made based on the numerical data indicating the extracted random number SR12 according to the variation pattern. By selecting, it is determined whether or not to execute the second step-up notice of the second notice effect and stored (S533c).

  Next, the third notice effect notice pattern execution decision table 200B shown in FIG. 96 is decided and set as a table to be used (S533d). Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR14 for determining execution of the third notice effect is extracted (S533e). Then, with reference to the third notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200B, either the third notice effect is not selected or the movable member notice is selected based on the numerical data indicating the extracted random value SR14 according to the variation pattern. Thus, it is determined whether or not to execute the movable member notice of the third notice effect and stored (S533f).

  Next, the fourth notice effect notice pattern execution decision table 200C shown in FIG. 100 is decided and set as a table to be used (S533g). Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR16 for determining execution of the fourth notice effect is extracted (S533h). Then, with reference to the fourth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200C, one of the fourth notice effect and no mini character notice is selected based on the numerical data indicating the extracted random value SR16 according to the variation pattern. Thus, it is determined whether or not to execute the mini character notice of the fourth notice effect and stored (S533i).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation display result is a big hit or a reach loss ((S533j). Specifically, whether or not the big display is a big hit is determined in the display result specific command storage area by the display result 2 designation command and the display result 3 It is determined by checking whether or not a command specifying a big hit such as a specified command is stored, and whether or not the reach is lost is stored in the display result specific command storage area. It is determined by confirming whether or not a command corresponding to the reach variation pattern has been received as the variation pattern command. Is specified, whether the fluctuation display result in S533j is a big hit or a reach loss In S533j, if it is determined that the variation display result is a big hit or reach is lost, it is determined whether or not the fifth notice effect is executed. On the other hand, if it is determined in S533j that the change display result does not result in a big hit or reach, the process advances to S534 in order to determine whether or not the fifth notice effect is performed. The reason for not determining whether or not the fifth notice effect is performed when it is determined that the display result does not result in a big hit or reach is the notice effect that is executed after the group notice becomes the reach state, and does not reach the reach state. In this case, the execution condition of the group notice that is the notice effect is not satisfied.

  When the process proceeds to S533k, the fifth notice effect notice pattern execution decision table 200D shown in FIG. 104 is decided and set as a table to be used (S533k). Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR18 for determining execution of the fifth notice effect is extracted (S533l). Then, with reference to the fifth notice effect notice pattern execution determination table 200D, one of the fifth notice effect and the group notice is selected based on the numerical data indicating the extracted random value SR18 according to the variation pattern. Accordingly, it is determined whether or not to execute the group notice of the fifth notice effect and stored (S533m). Then, the process proceeds to S534.

  Next, when the process proceeds to S534, it is determined whether or not it is determined that there is no first notice effect in the determination of S533 (S534). If it is determined in S533 that there is no first notice effect (Y in S534), the process proceeds to S543 described later. On the other hand, if the notice pattern type is determined to be one of the button notice and the first step-up notice in S533 (N in S534), the first notice effect is executed to determine the content of the first notice effect to be executed. The process proceeds to one notice effect determination process (S535), and then proceeds to S539.

  Here, after describing the processing contents of the first notice effect determination process first, the contents after S539 of the notice setting process will be described. FIG. 113 is a flowchart showing the first notice effect determination process.

  Referring to FIG. 113, it is determined in S533 described above whether or not the type of notice to be executed as the first step-up notice has been determined to be a button notice (S1701). If it is determined in S1701 that the button is not in advance, the process proceeds to S1706 described below. On the other hand, if it is determined in S1701 that the button is a button notice, a notice pattern of the button notice effect is determined in S1702 to S1705. First, as described with reference to FIG. 74, according to the information of the determined notice pattern type and the information of the display result specified based on the variation pattern (big hit, reach out, non-reach out) As the selection table, any one of the button notice selection tables shown in FIGS. 74A to 74C is selected and set (S1702).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in SS1702 Is used to indicate the change pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the respective notices at the time of the first to third changes required for the change display in the change pattern. Select and set the data table used to determine the pattern (one table when there are no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) (set) S1703). Specifically, in S1703, the notice message determination table for button notice is selected and determined as described above. In other words, when there is no pseudo-ream, only the first time is selected, the first and second times when the pseudo-ream is twice, and the notice message determination table used for the first to third times is selected when the pseudo-ream is 3 times. set. Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR8 for determining the notice message is extracted (S1704).

  Next, based on the random value extracted in S1704, the notice pattern of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is stored in one, two, or three data tables set in S1703. Each data table is used for determination according to the order of fluctuation times and stored (S1705). Then, the first notice effect determination process ends. In S1705, for the button notice, the notice message is determined by selecting the notice message for the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations before the fluctuation display in the pseudo-ream starts. Select and decide in order by table. In the determination of the notice pattern in S1705, the prohibition process as described above (notice message prohibition process) is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of fluctuations progresses. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required fluctuation notice pattern is determined according to the order of the fluctuation times, but is determined each time the notice pattern of each fluctuation is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice pattern of the next variable time. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses.

  In S1706, it is determined whether or not the type of notice to be executed as the first step-up notice has been determined as the basic development notice in S533 described above (S1706). If it is determined in S1706 that it is not a basic advance notice, the process proceeds to S1711 to be described later. On the other hand, if it is determined in S1706 that the basic advance notice is given, the notice pattern of the basic advance notice effect is determined in S1707 to S1710. First, as described with reference to FIG. 74, according to the information of the determined notice pattern type and the information of the display result specified based on the variation pattern (big hit, reach out, non-reach out) As the selection table, any one of the basic development notice selection tables shown in FIGS. 75A to 75C is selected and set (S1707).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in SS1707 Is used to indicate the change pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the respective notices at the time of the first to third changes required for the change display in the change pattern. Select and set the data table used to determine the pattern (one table when there are no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) (set) S1708). Specifically, in S1708, the advance step determination table for basic advance notice is selected and determined as described above. That is, when there is no pseudo-ream, only the first time is selected, the first and second times when the pseudo-ream is 2 times, and when the pseudo-ream is 3 times, the notice step determination table used for the first to third changes is selected and determined. set. Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR9 for determining the notice step is extracted (S1709).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted in S1709, the notice pattern of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is stored in one, two, or three data tables set in S1708. Each data table is used for determination according to the order of fluctuation times and stored (S1710). Then, the first notice effect determination process ends. In step S1710, for the basic advance notice, the notice step in which the notice step of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is selected as described above before the fluctuation display in the pseudo-ream is started. Select and decide in turn by the decision table. In the determination of the notice pattern in S1710, the prohibition process (preliminary step prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability of the big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times advances. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required fluctuation notice pattern is determined according to the order of the fluctuation times, but is determined each time the notice pattern of each fluctuation is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice pattern of the next variable time. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses.

  In S1711, it is determined in S533 described above whether the type of notice to be executed as the first step-up notice has been determined to be reach branch notice (S1711). If it is determined in S1711 that it is not a reach branch notice, the process proceeds to S1716 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined in S1711 that it is a reach branch notice, a notice pattern of reach branch notice effect is determined in S1712-S1715. First, as described with reference to FIG. 85, according to the information of the determined notice pattern type and the information of the display result specified based on the variation pattern (big hit, reach out, non-reach out) As the selection table, any one of the reach branch notice selection tables shown in FIGS. 85A to 85C is selected and set (S1712).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in SS1712 Is used to indicate the change pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the respective notices at the time of the first to third changes required for the change display in the change pattern. Select and set the data table used to determine the pattern (one table when there are no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) (set) S1713). Specifically, in S1713, the advance branch determination notice step determination table is selected and determined as described above. That is, when there is no pseudo-ream, only the first time is selected, the first and second times when the pseudo-ream is 2 times, and when the pseudo-ream is 3 times, the notice step determination table used for the first to third changes is selected and determined. set. Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR21 for determining the notice step is extracted (S1714).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted in S1714, the notice pattern of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is stored in one, two, or three data tables set in S1713. Each data table is used for determination according to the order of fluctuation times and stored (S1715). Then, the first notice effect determination process ends. In S1715, for reach branch notice, the notice step in which the notice step of the required fluctuation times is selected as described above before the fluctuation display in the pseudo-ream is started as described above. Select and decide in turn by the decision table. In the determination of the notice pattern in S1715, the prohibition process (preliminary step prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required fluctuation notice pattern is determined according to the order of the fluctuation times, but is determined each time the notice pattern of each fluctuation is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice pattern of the next variable time. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses.

  Next, the process proceeds to S1716 when the type of notice to be executed as the first step-up notice is determined to be button branch notice. In S1716, as described with reference to FIG. 88, according to the information of the determined notice pattern type and the information of the display result specified based on the variation pattern (big hit, reach is out, non-reach is out), One of the button branch notice selection tables shown in FIGS. 88A to 88C is selected and set as the notice selection table (S1716).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in SS1716 Is used to indicate the change pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the respective notices at the time of the first to third changes required for the change display in the change pattern. Select and set the data table used to determine the pattern (one table when there are no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) (set) S1717). Specifically, in S1717, the notice step decision table for button branch notice is selected and decided as described above. That is, when there is no pseudo-ream, only the first time is selected, the first and second times when the pseudo-ream is 2 times, and when the pseudo-ream is 3 times, the notice step determination table used for the first to third changes is selected and determined. set. Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR21 for determining the notice step is extracted according to the kind of notice (S1718).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted in S1718, the notice pattern of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is stored in one, two, or three data tables set in S1717. Each data table is used for determination according to the order of fluctuation times and stored (S1719). Then, the process proceeds to S17190. In S1719, for the button branch notice, the notice step in which the notice step of the necessary fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is selected as described above before the fluctuation display in the pseudo-series is started. Select and decide in turn by the decision table. In the determination of the notice pattern in S1719, the prohibition process as described above (notice step prohibition process) is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in a manner that decreases in accordance with the order of the fluctuation times. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required fluctuation notice pattern is determined according to the order of the fluctuation times, but is determined each time the notice pattern of each fluctuation is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice pattern of the next variable time. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses.

  Next, when the process proceeds to S17190, it is determined whether or not the notice pattern determined in S1719 includes a notice button “branch button” (S17190). If it is determined in S17190 that there is no “button branch” notice step, the first notice effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in S17190 that there is a “button branch” advance notice step, as described with reference to FIG. 91A, the post-button branch notice content selection table shown in FIG. 91A is set. (S1720).

  Then, in S1721, the following processing is performed. With reference to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to any variation pattern of no pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, or three pseudo-continuous, and each determined in S1719a. Based on the notice pattern of variable times, it is determined which variable times are determined to be “button branch”. Furthermore, using the post-button branch notice content selection table set in S1720, information on the variation pattern determined as described above (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the determination as described above. Based on the information of the variable times of “button branching”, the above-mentioned three contents of the notice content determination tables for determining the notice contents that need to be displayed according to the button operation when “button branching” are performed Determine from and set. Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR23 for determining the notice content after button branching is extracted (S1722).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted in S1722, the notice content determination table set in S1721 uses the notice contents after button branching at the required change times among the first to third changes. The “button branching” is determined and stored in accordance with the order of the changing times to execute (S1723). Then, the first notice effect determination process ends. In the determination of the notice content in S1723, the prohibition process (preliminary content prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in a manner that decreases in accordance with the order of the changing times. It is. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required contents of the fluctuation times are determined according to the order of the fluctuation times. The data of the previous notice content indicating the decided notice content is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice content of the next variable times. Thereby, in the determination of the notice contents, the notice contents are not selected in such a manner that the reliability of the big hit decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses.

  Next, the continuation of the notice setting process will be described with reference to FIG. After the end of the first notice effect determination process, as described with reference to FIG. 80, information on the decided notice pattern type and display result information (bonus, off) specified based on the variation pattern are used. Accordingly, any of the notice reliability selection tables shown in FIGS. 80A to 80D is selected and set as the notice reliability selection table (S539). Although not shown, when the notice effect is not performed, such as when “no notice” is determined in the first step-up notice, the notice reliability display is not performed, and the processes of S539 to S542 described later are performed. Without executing, the process proceeds to S543. Even when the notice effect is not performed, the processing of S539 to S542 may be executed to display the notice reliability.

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice reliability determined in S539 Using the selection table, depending on the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), each of the first to third variations required for the variation display in the variation pattern Select and decide the data table used to determine the notice reliability display pattern (one table when there is no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) And set (S540). Specifically, in S540, when the button advance notice is selected, the color reliability display determination table is selected and determined as described above, and when the first step-up advance notice is selected (basic development notice, reach branch notice, or button branch notice is selected. At the time of selection), the pattern reliability display determination table is selected and determined as described above. That is, the color reliability display determination table or pattern reliability used for the first time in the case of no pseudo-continuation, the first and second times in the case of two pseudo-continuations, and the first to third variations in the case of three pseudo-continuations. Select and set the degree display decision table. Then, in accordance with the type of notice, numerical data indicating the random number value SR10 for determining the color reliability display or numerical data indicating the random value SR11 for determining the pattern reliability display is extracted (S541).

  Next, based on the random value extracted in S541, among the first to third fluctuations, one, two, or three notice reliability display patterns for the required fluctuation times are set in S540. Each data table of the data table is determined according to the order of fluctuation times and stored (S542). As a result, for example, the mode of the button operation promotion effect is determined, and the reliability that is a big hit can be notified by the mode of the button operation promotion effect executed in the stage before the button notice is performed. Then, the process proceeds to S543. In S542, when the button notice is selected, the color reliability display pattern of the required variation times among the first to third variations is selected as described above before the variation display in the pseudo-series is started. When the first step-up notice is selected, the required change times of the first to third changes are started before the change display in the pseudo-series is started. The pattern reliability display patterns are sequentially selected and determined by the pattern reliability display determination table selected as described above. In the determination of the notice reliability display pattern in S542, the prohibition process as described above (color reliability prohibition process or color reliability prohibition process or Pattern reliability prohibition processing) is performed. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required reliability notification pattern of the changing times is determined according to the order of the changing times, but the warning reliability display pattern of each changing time is determined. Each time, the data of the previous reliability display pattern indicating the determined advance notice reliability display pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and the prohibition process when determining the advance notice reliability display pattern of the next fluctuation times Used for. As a result, in the determination of the notice reliability display pattern, the notice reliability display pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses.

  When the process proceeds to S543, it is determined based on the data stored in S533c whether or not it has been determined in S533c that there is no second notice effect (second step-up notice) (S543). When it is determined that there is no second notice effect, the process proceeds to S548 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is the second notice effect, as described with reference to FIG. 93, the notice is given according to the information of the display result specified based on the variation pattern (big hit, no reach, no reach). As the selection table, any one of the notice selection tables shown in FIGS. 93A to 93C is selected and determined (S544).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in S544 Is used to indicate the change pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the respective notices at the time of the first to third changes required for the change display in the change pattern. Select and set the data table used to determine the pattern (one table when there are no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) (set) S545). Specifically, in S545, the notice step determination table is selected and determined as described above. That is, when there is no pseudo-ream, only the first time is selected, the first and second times when the pseudo-ream is 2 times, and when the pseudo-ream is 3 times, the notice step determination table used for the first to third changes is selected and determined. set. Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR13 for determining the second notice step is extracted (S546).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted in S546, the notice pattern of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is stored in one, two, or three data tables set in S545. Each data table is used to determine and store in accordance with the order of fluctuation times (S547), and the process proceeds to S548 described later. In step S547, before the change display in the pseudo-ream is started, among the first to third changes, the required change notification steps are sequentially performed according to the notification step determination table selected as described above. Before selecting and determining the fluctuation display in the pseudo-ream, the notice step of the necessary fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is sequentially performed according to the notice step decision table selected as described above. Select and decide. In the determination of the notice pattern in S547, the prohibition process (preliminary step prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required fluctuation notice pattern is determined according to the order of the fluctuation times, but is determined each time the notice pattern of each fluctuation is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice pattern of the next variable time. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses.

  Next, when the process proceeds to S548, it is determined whether or not it is determined that there is no third notice effect in the determination of S533f (S548). If it is determined in S533f that there is no third notice effect (Y in S548), the process proceeds to S553 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is the third notice effect (N in S548), as described with reference to FIG. Accordingly, any of the notice selection tables shown in (A) to (C) of FIG. 97 is selected and set as the notice selection table (S549).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in S549 Is used to indicate the change pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the respective notices at the time of the first to third changes required for the change display in the change pattern. Select and set the data table used to determine the pattern (one table when there are no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) (set) S550). Specifically, in S550, the movable member operation determination table is selected and determined as described above. That is, the movable member operation determination table used for the first and third fluctuations is selected and determined only for the first time when there is no pseudo-ream, the first and second times when the pseudo-ream is two times, and the first to third times when the pseudo-ream is three times. ,set. Then, numerical data indicating the random value SR15 for determining the movable member operation for the movable member notice is extracted (S551).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted in S551, the notice pattern of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is stored in one, two, or three data tables set in S550. Each data table is determined according to the order of fluctuation times and stored (S552). In S552, the movable member operation determination table in which the movable member advance notice operation of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is selected as described above before the fluctuation display in the pseudo-series is started. Select and decide in order. In the determination of the notice pattern in S552, the prohibition process (movable member operation prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. . More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required fluctuation notice pattern is determined according to the order of the fluctuation times, but is determined each time the notice pattern of each fluctuation is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice pattern of the next variable time. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses. It progresses to S553 after S552.

  Next, when the process proceeds to S553, it is determined whether or not it is determined that there is no fourth notice effect in the determination of S533i (S553). When it is determined in S533f that there is no fourth notice effect (Y in S553), the process proceeds to S558 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is the fourth notice effect (N in S553), as described with reference to FIG. Accordingly, any of the notice selection tables shown in FIGS. 100A to 100C is selected and set as the notice selection table (S554).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in S554 Is used to indicate the change pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the respective notices at the time of the first to third changes required for the change display in the change pattern. Select and set the data table used to determine the pattern (one table when there are no pseudo-series, two tables when there are two pseudo-series, and three tables when there are three pseudo-series) (set) S555). Specifically, in S555, the mini character display determination table is selected and determined as described above. That is, when there is no pseudo-ream, only the first time is selected, when the pseudo-ream is twice, the first and second times are selected, and when the pseudo-ream is 3 times, the mini character display determination table is selected and determined. set. Then, numerical data indicating the random value SR17 for determining the mini character display of the mini character notice is extracted (S556).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted at S556, the notice pattern of the required fluctuation times among the first to third fluctuations is stored in one, two, or three data tables set at S555. Each data table is used for determination according to the order of fluctuation times and stored (S557). In S557, before the variable display in the pseudo-ream starts, the mini character display of the required variable times among the first to third fluctuations is sequentially performed according to the mini character display determination table selected as described above. Select and decide. In the determination of the notice pattern in S557, the prohibition process (mini-character display prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. More specifically, among the first to third fluctuations, the required fluctuation notice pattern is determined according to the order of the fluctuation times, but is determined each time the notice pattern of each fluctuation is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is stored in the RAM as described above, and is used for prohibition processing when determining the notice pattern of the next variable time. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of fluctuation times progresses. After S557, the process proceeds to S558. Note that, as described above, the mini character notice has a lower reliability than the other notice effects, so that the player generally does not tend to pay much attention to the mini character image. Therefore, in S557, the mini character display prohibition process may not be performed.

  Next, when the process proceeds to S558, it is determined whether or not it is determined that there is no fifth notice effect in the determination of S533m (S558). If it is determined in S533m that there is no fifth notice effect (Y in S558), the notice setting process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the fifth notice effect is present (N in S558), as described with reference to FIG. 104, information on the display result specified based on the variation pattern (non-probable big hit, probable big hit, reach is off ), Any one of the notice selection tables shown in (A), (B), and (C) of FIG. 105 is selected and set as the notice selection table (S559).

  Next, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the notice selection table determined in S559 Is used to determine the notice pattern required for the fluctuation display after the reach state in the fluctuation pattern according to the fluctuation pattern to be executed (no pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series). A data table is selected and set (S560). Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR19 for determining the group display of the group notice is extracted (S561).

  Next, based on the random value extracted in S561, the notice pattern after the reach state is determined and stored using the data table set in S560 (S562). After S562, the notice setting process is terminated.

  In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the color reliability is always displayed when the button is notified, and the pattern reliability is always displayed when the first step-up is notified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the color reliability display may not be performed at a predetermined ratio when the button notification is performed. Further, the pattern reliability display may not be performed at a predetermined ratio when the first step-up notice is given.

  In the notice setting process, the following process may be performed. Immediately after the determination of the presence / absence and type of execution related to the first notice effect in S533, processing such as determination of the notice content related to the first notice effect after S544 may be executed. Immediately after the determination on whether or not to execute the second notice effect is made in S533c, the process of determining the notice content related to the second notice effect after S543 may be executed. Immediately after the determination of whether or not to execute the third notice effect is made in S533f, processing such as determination of the notice content related to the third notice effect after S548 may be executed. Immediately after the determination of whether or not to execute the fourth notice effect in S533i, processing such as determining the contents of the notice regarding the fourth notice effect after S553 may be executed. Immediately after the determination of whether or not to execute the fifth notice effect is made in S533m, processing such as determination of the notice content related to the fifth notice effect after S558 may be executed. In this way, there is no need to hold data relating to the presence or absence of execution of the notice effect for a long period of time, and therefore it is possible to prevent problems in control due to garbled data or the like of the held data.

  According to the notice setting process of FIGS. 111 and 112, before starting a series of fluctuating display that becomes a pseudo-continuation as shown in S535 to S538, S544 to S547, S549 to S552, S554 to S557, and S559 to S562. The change pattern is displayed by individually determining all the change patterns (button notice, first step-up notice, second step-up notice, movable member notice, mini-character notice, and group notice notice). The control burden (processing burden) of the production control microcomputer 100 can be reduced. In addition, according to the notice setting process of FIGS. 111 and 112, as shown in S539 to S542, the notice reliability display pattern (color reliability display) of each variable time is started before the start of a series of variable displays as a pseudo series. By individually determining all the patterns or pattern reliability display patterns), it is possible to reduce the control burden (processing burden) of the production control microcomputer 100 during the variable display.

  FIG. 114 is a flowchart showing the specific effect setting process. In the specific effect setting process, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern that does not include the specific effect (“slip” or “pseudo-run”) (S1551). . If the variation pattern does not include the specific effect, the specific effect setting process ends.

  If the variation pattern includes a specific effect, it is determined whether or not the specific effect is “slip” (S1552). If it is the specific effect of “slip”, the effect control CPU 101 selects the specific effect pattern determination table corresponding to the specific effect as the use table (S1553). If the specific effect of “slip” is selected, the specific effect pattern determination table 164A shown in FIG. 58 is selected.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 determines the specific effect pattern as one of a plurality of types (S1554). That is, first, the value of the random number SR6-1 for determining the first specific effect pattern is extracted. Based on the value of the extracted random number SR6-1, the specific effect pattern is determined to be one of the slips TP1-1 to the slip TP1-4 by referring to the specific effect pattern determination table 164A selected in the process of S1553. .

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 updates the previous effect value in the predetermined area of the RAM according to the specific effect pattern determined in the process of S1554 (S1555). For example, when the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-1 is determined in the process of S1554, the previous effect value is updated to 1. When the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-2 is determined, the previous effect value is updated to 2. When the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-3 is determined, the previous effect value is updated to 3. When the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-4 is determined, the previous effect value is updated to 4.

  By executing the process of S1555, it is determined every time when it is determined as one of the specific effect patterns of the slip TP1-1 to the slip TP1-4 corresponding to the variation pattern for executing the specific effect of “slip”. The previous effect value corresponding to the specific effect pattern of the slip TP1-1 to the slip TP1-4 is updated. That is, each time the effect operation in the specific effect of “slip” is determined as one of a plurality of types, data indicating the type of the determined effect operation is stored.

  When the specific effect pattern determination table 164A is a table to which a determination value is assigned so that the slip TP1-n is not selected when the previous determination value is n (any of n = 1 to 4), When the control CPU 101 determines the slip effect mode using the specific effect pattern determination table 164A configured as described above, the specific effect of “slip” is determined according to the variation pattern of the non-reach PA1-4 in the process of S1554. Is executed, it is possible to prevent the specific effect pattern from being the same as the specific effect pattern in the specific effect of “slip” executed last time.

  If it is determined in step S1552 that the specific effect is other than “slip” (that is, “pseudo-continuous”), the process of S1555 indicates the type of pseudo-continuous effect indicated by the received variation pattern command. The data is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM (S1557), and the process proceeds to S1556. In this case, based on the data indicating the type of pseudo-continuous effect stored in S1557, the effect is performed with the pseudo-variable variation pattern indicated by the received variation pattern command.

  Next, in S1556, the effect control CPU 101, in the case of the specific effect of “slip”, according to the table selection rule shown in FIG. 59 (E) based on the specific effect pattern determined in the process of S1554. Any one of the temporary stop symbol determination tables 166A to 166D is selected as a use table. Further, the value of the random number SR3 for determining the temporary stop symbol at the time of sliding is extracted. The right temporary stop symbol KZ1-1, the left temporary stop symbol KZ1-2, and the right temporary stop symbol are referred to by referring to any of the selected temporary stop symbol determination tables 166A to 166D based on the extracted random number SR3. The effect design which becomes either 1-3 and the left temporary stop design KZ1-4 is determined.

  The effect control CPU 101 sets the number of executions of the pseudo continuous variation specified by the received variation pattern command to a constant M in the case of the specific effect of “pseudo continuous”. For example, when the number of re-variations (not including the initial variation) in the pseudo-series is one specific effect pattern, the constant M is set to “1” and the number of re-variations (including the initial variation) in the pseudo-series. If there is no specific effect pattern twice, the constant M is set to “2”. In addition, “0” is set to the variable N indicating the determined number of combinations of temporary stop symbols. If the fluctuation pattern is non-reach PA1-5, the temporary stop symbol determination table 167A shown in FIG. 60A is selected as the use table, and the fluctuation patterns are super PA3-3 and super PA3-6. , Super PA4-3, Super PA4-6, Super PB3-3, Super PB4-3, Super PB5-3, Special PG1-3, the temporary stop shown in FIG. 60 (B) The symbol determination table 167B is selected as a use table. Further, the value of the random number SR4-1 for determining the temporary stop symbol at the time of the first pseudo change is extracted. Then, based on the value of the extracted random number SR4-1, by referring to either the selected temporary stop symbol determination table 167A or the temporary stop symbol determination table 167B, any of the pseudo consecutive chances GC1 to GC8 is selected. The combination of left middle right temporary stop symbols KZ2-1, KZ2-2, and KZ2-3 is determined. Then, it is updated by adding 1 to the variable N, and it is determined whether or not the updated variable N matches the constant M.

  If the updated variable N matches the constant M, the process of S1556 is terminated. If the updated variable N does not match the constant M, the effect control CPU 101 selects the temporary stop symbol determination table 167C shown in FIG. Further, the value of the random number SR4-2 for determining the temporary stop symbol at the time of the pseudo-second variation is extracted. Then, referring to the temporary stop symbol determination table 167C based on the value of the extracted random number SR4-2, the left middle right temporary stop symbols KZ3-1 and KZ3- 2. Determine the combination of KZ3-3. Then, it is updated by adding 1 to the variable N, and it is determined whether or not the updated variable N matches the constant M. Then, the process ends.

  Referring to FIG. 109, after executing the specific effect setting process of S516, the effect control CPU 101 determines any one of the effect control patterns (S517). The effect control CPU 101 determines and designates various effect controls (effects) such as the change pattern specified by the change pattern specification command, the specific effect pattern determined in the process of S516, the notice pattern determined in S538 of FIG. 62) According to the operation) pattern, any one of the effects corresponding to the determined and specified various effect operation patterns among the plurality of types of symbol fluctuation control patterns stored in the symbol fluctuation control pattern table 180 shown in FIG. A control pattern is selected and determined as a usage pattern.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 selects a process table corresponding to the effect control pattern selected in S517 (S518). Then, a process timer (production setting process timer) in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (S519).

  FIG. 115 is an explanatory diagram of a configuration example of a process table. The process table is a table in which process data referred to when the effect control CPU 101 executes control of the effect device is set. That is, the effect control CPU 101 controls effect devices (effect components) such as the effect display device 9 according to the process data set in the process table. The process table includes process data as data obtained by collecting a plurality of combinations of process timer set values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound number data, and movable member control data. The display control execution data includes, for example, data indicating each variation mode constituting the variation mode during the variation display time (variation time) of the variation display of the effect symbol (display of the effect display device 9 in addition to the effect symbol display mode) (Including other aspects of the screen) Specifically, data relating to the change of the display screen of the effect display device 9 is described. Further, the production time in the production mode is set in the process timer set value. The effect control CPU 101 refers to the process table, displays the effect design in the form set in the display control execution data for the time set in the process timer set value, and displays the character image or background displayed on the display screen. Control to display. In addition, the effect control CPU 101 controls the flashing of the light emitter in a manner set in the lamp control execution data and the sound number data, and controls the sound output from the speaker 27. Further, the production control CPU 101 controls the movable member 78 and the vibration motors 86a, 86b, 86c in a manner set in the movable member control data. In the movable member control data, in addition to the control state of the movable member 78, data indicating the control state of the vibration motors 86a, 86b, 86c is also set.

  In the process table, for example, different process data is set for each of the above-described effect operations of the effect such as the pseudo-ream and the slip. Different process data is set depending on Therefore, for example, when executing the pseudo-variation pattern, when the notice effect is performed by the notice setting processing of FIG. 111, and the notice pattern is determined, in the pseudo-variation pattern according to the determination, Then, the process data that can execute the notice effect with the decided notice pattern is selected (the same applies to the variation patterns other than the pseudo-ream). Further, when the notice effect of button notice is performed, before the operation button 30 is operated, based on the process data (including process data for executing the button operation promotion effect) that executes the variable display without performing the notice effect. The process data for performing the button display effect and executing the variable display by switching the process data triggered by the operation of the operation button 30 during the button operation promotion effect. Based on the above, an effect of variable display is performed.

  The process table shown in FIG. 115 is stored in the ROM of the effect control board 80. Moreover, the process table is prepared according to each production control pattern. The process table corresponds to more specifically the symbol variation control pattern table 180 shown in FIG. 62 and the various effect control pattern tables 182 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 116 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an effect executed according to the contents of the process table. The effect control CPU 101 executes display control according to effect control execution data in the process table. That is, when the time according to the timer value set as the process timer set value has elapsed, according to the next effect control execution data in the process table, the effect display device 9, the light emitter such as LED, the speaker 27, the movable member 78, By repeating the process of controlling the vibration motors 86a, 86b, and 86c, an effect in one change in the effect design is realized. In addition, dummy data (data not specifying control) is set in data (for example, movable member control data) corresponding to an effect part that is not controlled during the fluctuation period.

  Referring to FIG. 109, when the processing control CPU 101 executes the process of S519, the contents of process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound number data 1, movable member control data 1) are displayed. Therefore, the control of the effect device (the effect display device 9 as the effect part, various lamps as the effect part, the speaker 27 as the effect part, and the movable member 78 and the vibration motors 86a, 86b, 86c as the effect parts). Is started (S520). For example, in accordance with the display control execution data, an instruction is output to the VDP 109 in order to display an image (including an effect symbol) corresponding to the variation pattern on the effect display device 9. In addition, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp driver board 35 in order to perform on / off control of various lamps. In addition, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound output board 70 in order to output sound from the speaker 27. Further, a drive signal for operating the movable member 78 and the vibration motors 86a, 86b, 86c is output in accordance with the movable member control data.

  Then, a value corresponding to the variation time specified by the variation pattern command is set in the variation time timer (S521), and the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S802) (S522). ).

  FIG. 117 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol changing process (S802) in the effect control process. FIG. 118 is a flowchart showing the operation effect process (S8430) executed in the effect control process.

  In the effect symbol variation processing, the effect control CPU 101 subtracts 1 from the value of the process timer (S841), and subtracts 1 from the value of the variation time timer (S842). Then, it is determined whether or not the process timer has timed out (S843).

  Until the process timer times out (S843N), the process proceeds to an operation effect process (S8430) for performing an effect corresponding to the operation of the operation button 30, and thereafter, the process proceeds to S846.

  Here, after explaining the processing contents of the operation effect process first, the other processing contents of the effect symbol changing process will be explained. FIG. 118 is a flowchart showing the operation effect process.

  In the operation effect process, first, it is determined whether or not process data for performing a button notice effect is set as process data (S8431). Thereby, it can be confirmed whether it is the time of the variable display which can perform a button notice effect. In S8431, based on the data indicating whether or not the decision to perform the button notice effect has been made in S1705, it is confirmed whether or not it is a variable display time that allows the button notice effect to be performed. Also good. If it is determined that the process data for performing the button notice effect is not set, the process proceeds to S8437 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the process data for performing the button notice effect is set, it is confirmed whether or not the present operation is in the first operation valid period as the operation valid period in the button notice effect (S8432). . Regarding the operation effective period of the button notice effect, the time when the first timing (predetermined timing before the start of the derivation display of the symbol as shown in FIG. 64C) has elapsed from the start of the variable display. It is set as the start time of the first operation effective period, and the time when the second timing (timing later than the first timing) has elapsed since the start of the variable display is set as the end time of the first operation effective period Has been. Thereby, at the start and end of the first operation effective period of the button notice effect, the effect control microcomputer 100 recognizes based on the time value of the variable time timer that starts counting from the start of the variable display. Can do. Therefore, whether or not it is during the first operation valid period in the button notice effect is determined based on the time value of the variable time timer.

  When it is determined that it is not during the first operation valid period, the process proceeds to S8437 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first operation valid period is in effect, it is confirmed whether or not the first operated flag that is set when the operation button 30 is operated during the first operation valid period is set. (S8433). If it is determined that the first operated flag is set, the process proceeds to S8437 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first operated flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the operation button 30 is operated based on the level of the operation detection signal input from the operation button 30 (S8434).

  If it is determined that the operation button 30 has not been operated, the process proceeds to S8443 which will be described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation button 30 is operated, the first operation completion flag is set (S8435), the execution of the button notice effect is started (S8436), and the process proceeds to S8437 described later.

  In S8437, it is determined whether or not process data for performing a button branch notice effect is set as process data (S8437). Thereby, it can be confirmed whether it is the time of the variable display which can perform a button branch notice effect. In S8437, based on the data indicating whether or not the decision to perform the button branch notice effect is made in S1719, it is confirmed whether or not it is the time of the variable display that can perform the button branch notice effect. It may be. When it is determined that the process data for performing the button branch notice effect is not set, the process proceeds to S8443 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the process data for performing the button branch notice effect is set, it is confirmed whether or not the current operation is in the second operation valid period as the operation valid period in the button branch notice effect ( S8432). Regarding the operation effective period of the button branch notice effect, when the third timing (predetermined timing before starting the derivation display of the symbol as shown in FIG. 67C) has elapsed since the start of the fluctuation display. Is set as the start time of the second operation effective period, and the time when the fourth timing (timing later than the third timing) has elapsed from the start of the variable display is the end time of the first operation effective period. Is set as Thus, at the start and end of the second operation valid period of the button branch notice effect, the effect control microcomputer 100 recognizes based on the time value of the variable time timer that starts counting from the start of the variable display. be able to. Therefore, whether or not it is during the second operation valid period in the button branch notice effect is determined based on the time value of the variable time timer.

  When it is determined that it is not during the second operation valid period, the process proceeds to S8443 which will be described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second operation valid period is in effect, it is confirmed whether or not the second operation completed flag that is set when the operation button 30 is operated during the second operation valid period is set. (S8439). If it is determined that the second manipulated flag is set, the process proceeds to S8440 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second operation completion flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the operation button 30 has been operated based on the level of the operation detection signal input from the operation button 30 (S8440).

  If it is determined that the operation button 30 has not been operated, the process proceeds to S8443 which will be described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation button 30 is operated, the second operation completion flag is set (S8441), the execution of the button branch notice effect is started (S8442), and the process proceeds to S8437 described later.

  In S8443, it is determined whether or not process data for performing group notice effect is set as process data (S8443). Thereby, it can be confirmed whether it is the time of the variable display which can perform a group notice effect. In S8443, based on the data indicating whether or not the decision to perform the group notice effect is made in S533m, it is confirmed whether or not it is the time of the variable display that can perform the button notice effect. Also good. When it is determined that the process data for performing the group notice effect is not set, the process proceeds to S846 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the process data for performing the group notice effect is set, it is checked whether or not the current operation is in the third operation valid period as the operation valid period in the group notice effect (S8444). . As for the third operation effective period of the group notice effect, the time when the fifth timing (the timing of reaching the reach state as shown in FIG. 71 (G)) has elapsed from the start of the variable display is the start of the third operation effective period. In addition, the time when the sixth timing (timing later than the fifth timing) has elapsed from the start of the variable display is set as the end of the third operation effective period. Thereby, at the start and end of the third operation effective period of the group notice effect, the effect control microcomputer 100 recognizes based on the time value of the variable time timer that starts counting from the start of the variable display. Can do. Therefore, whether or not it is during the third operation effective period in the group notice effect is determined based on the time value of the variable time timer.

  When it is determined that it is not during the third operation valid period, the process proceeds to S846 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the third operation valid period is in effect, it is confirmed whether or not the third operation completed flag that is set when the operation button 30 is operated during the third operation valid period is set. (S8445). If it is determined that the third manipulated flag is set, the process proceeds to S846 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the third operation completion flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the operation button 30 has been operated based on the level of the operation detection signal input from the operation button 30 (S8446).

  When it is determined that the operation button 30 has not been operated, the process proceeds to S846 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation button 30 is operated, the third operation completion flag is set (S8447), the execution of the group notice effect is started (S8448), and the process proceeds to S846 described later.

  Referring to FIG. 117, when it is determined in S843 that the process timer has timed out (S843Y), it is confirmed whether or not the current operation is in the first operation valid period (S843a). When it is determined that it is during the first operation valid period, the process proceeds to S843d described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not during the first operation valid period, it is confirmed whether or not the above-mentioned first operation completed flag is set (S843b). When it is determined that the first operated flag is set, the first operated flag is reset (S843c), and the process proceeds to S843d. This is because the first operation completion flag is initialized in response to the end of the first operation valid period. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first operated flag is not set, the process proceeds to S843d.

  When the process proceeds to S843d, it is confirmed whether or not the present is in the second operation valid period (S843d). When it is determined that the second operation valid period is in progress, the process proceeds to S843g described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not during the second operation valid period, it is confirmed whether or not the second operation completed flag is set (S843e). If it is determined that the second operated flag is set, the second operated flag is reset (S843f), and the process proceeds to S843g. This is because the second operation completion flag is initialized in response to the end of the second operation valid period. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second operated flag is not set, the process proceeds to S843g.

  When the process proceeds to S843g, it is confirmed whether or not the present is in the third operation valid period (S843g). When it is determined that it is during the third operation valid period, the process proceeds to S844 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not during the third operation valid period, it is confirmed whether or not the third operation completed flag is set (S843h). If it is determined that the third operated flag is set, the third operated flag is reset (S843i), and the process proceeds to S844. This is because the third operation completed flag is initialized in response to the end of the third operation valid period. On the other hand, when it is determined that the third operated flag is not set, the process proceeds to S844 as it is.

  In S844, process data is switched. That is, the process timer is started again by setting the process timer set value set next in the process table in the process timer (S844). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect part) is changed based on process data such as display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound number data, and movable member control data set next (S845). .

  For example, in the process data for performing the button notice effect, data for executing the button operation promotion effect as shown in FIG. 64 (C) and the button operation promotion effect as shown in FIGS. 64 (D) and 64 (E). And data for performing after-execution. As the data for performing the effect after the button operation promotion effect is executed, the data for performing the button notice effect as shown in FIG. 64 (D) and the button notice effect as shown in FIG. 64 (E) are not performed. And data for use are set to be selectively usable. In other words, the process data for performing the button notice effect does not include data for the effect of changing the effect design while performing the button operation promotion effect (including the color reliability display effect) Data common to the case), data for changing the effect design while performing the button notice effect when the operation button 30 is operated during the first operation effective period, and the first operation effective period. Data for changing the effect design without performing the button notice effect when the operation button 30 is not operated is included. The data for changing the effect design while performing the button notification effect and the data for changing the effect design without performing the button notification effect are data selectively used according to the operation of the operation button 30. is there.

  Further, in the process data for performing button branch advance notice, data for executing a button operation promotion effect as shown in FIG. 67 (C) and button operation promotion effect as shown in FIGS. 67 (D) and 67 (E). And data for performing after-execution. As the data for performing the effect after the button operation promotion effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 67 (C), data for performing the notice content display effect for opening the parcel and showing the contents, and FIG. 67 (D As shown in (), data for not performing the notice content display effect is set to be selectively usable. In other words, for the process data for performing the button branch effect, the data for performing the effect of changing the effect design while performing the button operation promotion effect (data common to the case where the button is branched and the case where the button is branched), and When the operation button 30 is operated during the second operation valid period, data for changing the effect design while performing the notice content display effect, and when the operation button 30 is not operated during the third operation valid period Data for changing the effect design without performing the notice content display effect is included. The data for changing the effect design while performing the notice content display effect and the data for changing the effect design without performing the notice content display effect are selectively selected according to the operation of the operation button 30. Data used.

  Further, in the process data for performing the group notice effect, data for executing the button operation promotion effect as shown in FIG. 71 (G) and the button operation promotion effect as shown in FIGS. 71 (H) and (I). And data for performing after-execution. As data for performing the effect after the button operation promotion effect is executed, data for performing the group notice effect as shown in FIG. 71 (G) and the group notice effect as shown in FIG. 71 (I) are not performed. And data for use are set to be selectively usable. In other words, for the process data for performing the group notice effect, the data for changing the effect design while performing the button operation promotion effect (data common to the case where the group notice is given or not), and thereafter , Data for changing the effect design while performing the group notice effect when the operation button 30 is operated during the third operation valid period, and the group notice when the operation button 30 is not operated during the third operation valid period Data for changing the effect design without performing the effect is included. The data for changing the effect symbol while performing the group notice effect and the data for changing the effect symbol without performing the group notice effect are data selectively used according to the operation of the operation button 30. is there.

  In S846, the effect control CPU 101 confirms whether or not the variable time timer has timed out based on the value of the variable time timer (S846). If the change time timer has timed out (Y in S846), the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol change stop process (S803) (S848). On the other hand, when the variable time timer has not timed out (N in S846), it is confirmed whether or not a confirmation command reception flag indicating that a symbol confirmation designation command has been received is set (S847). When the confirmation command reception flag is not set (N in S847), the effect symbol changing process ends. On the other hand, when the confirmation command reception flag is set (Y in S847), the process proceeds to S848. Even if the variation time timer has not timed out (N in S847), the process shifts to control for stopping variation upon receipt of the symbol determination designation command. For example, a long variation time due to noise between substrates is indicated. Even when a variation pattern command is received, the variation of the effect symbol can be terminated when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol has ended).

  It should be noted that the fluctuation pattern including the effect of “pseudo ream” (non-reach PA1-5, super PA3-3, super PA3-6, super PB3-3, super PA4-3, super PA4-6, super PA5-3, super The part of executing the processing of S841 to S845 based on PB4-3, super PB5-3, and special PG1-3) corresponds to the revariation effect control process for executing the revariation effect.

  FIG. 119 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation stop process (S803) in the effect control process. In the effect symbol variation stop process, the effect control CPU 101 first checks whether or not a stop symbol display flag indicating that the stop symbol of the effect symbol is being displayed is set (S870). If the stop symbol display flag is set, the process proceeds to S877. In this embodiment, when the big hit symbol is displayed as the stop symbol of the effect symbol, the stop symbol display flag is set in S876. Then, the stop symbol display flag is reset when the fanfare effect is executed. Therefore, the fact that the stop symbol display flag is set is a stage where the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed but the fanfare effect is not yet executed. Without proceeding, the process proceeds to S877.

  When the stop symbol display flag is not set, the effect control CPU 101 sets a confirmation command reception flag indicating that the effect control command (design confirmation designation command) for instructing to stop changing the effect symbol is received. It is confirmed whether or not (S871). If the confirmation command reception flag is set, control is performed to stop and display the determined stop symbol (outgoing symbol, small hit symbol or big hit symbol) (S872).

  In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 101 controls to stop the effect symbol in response to receiving the symbol confirmation designation command from the game control microcomputer 560, but the variable time timer has timed out. Based on this, the effect design may be stopped and displayed.

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not a small hit symbol or a big hit display symbol is displayed in the process of S872 (S873). If it is determined in S872 that neither a small winning symbol nor a big winning display symbol is displayed (that is, if a loss symbol is displayed), the production control CPU 101 waits for a variation pattern command to be received. The value is updated according to the process (S800) (S874).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of S872 that the small winning symbol or the big winning symbol has been stopped, the effect control CPU 101 sets a stop symbol display flag (S876) to indicate that the big hit starting designation command has been received. The big hit start / receipt start command reception flag indicating that a big hit start designation command reception flag (big hit start 1 designation command reception flag or big hit start 2 designation command reception flag) or a small hit / surprise start designation command has been received is set. It is confirmed whether there is (S877). When the big hit start designation command reception flag or the small hit / surprise start designation command reception flag is set, the effect control CPU 101 resets the stop symbol display flag (S878), and displays a process table corresponding to the fanfare effect. Select (S879).

The effect control CPU 101 resets the set flag when the big hit start designation command reception flag or the small hit / coincidence start designation command reception flag is set. In the process of S879, the effect control CPU 101 is determined to be a normal big hit or a probable big hit (specifically, when receiving a display result 2 designation command or a display result 3 designation command: FIG. 22). 63), when the process table corresponding to the “15-time open game start notification” shown in FIG. 63 is selected and the small hit or the sudden big hit is determined (specifically, the display result 4 designation command) Alternatively, when the display result 5 designation command is received (see FIG. 30), the process table corresponding to the “twice-open game start notification (common in common)” shown in FIG. 63 is selected. Then, the process timer is started by setting the process timer set value in the process timer (S880), and the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound number data 1, movable member control data) 1) In accordance with the effect device (the effect display device 9 as the effect part, various lamps as the effect part, the speaker 27 as the effect part, and the movable member 78 and the vibration motors 86a, 86b, 86c as the effect parts. ) Is executed (S881). Thereafter, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (S804) (S882).

In the above embodiment, a gaming machine provided with two special symbol indicators (first special symbol indicator 8a and second special symbol indicator 8b) as a variation display unit is taken as an example. The present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine provided with a symbol display.

  In the above-described embodiment, the production control board 80, the audio output board 70, and the lamp driver board 35 are provided as the boards on which the circuit for controlling the production apparatus is mounted. You may mount on one board | substrate. Further, a first effect control board (display control board) on which a circuit for controlling the effect display device 9 and the like is mounted and a circuit for controlling other effect devices (lamps, LEDs, speakers 27 and the like) are mounted. You may make it provide two board | substrates with two production | presentation control boards.

  In the above-described embodiment, the game control microcomputer 560 directly transmits a command to the effect control microcomputer 100. However, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits another command (for example, FIG. 3). The sound output lamp 70, the lamp driver board 35, or the like, or the sound / lamp board having the function of the circuit mounted on the sound output board 70 and the function of the circuit mounted on the lamp driver board 35). A control command may be transmitted and transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100 on the effect control board 80 via another board. In that case, the command may simply pass through another board, or the sound output board 70, the lamp driver board 35, and the sound / lamp board are equipped with control means such as a microcomputer, and the control means receives the command. In response to this, control related to voice control and lamp control is executed, and the received command is changed as it is or, for example, to a simplified command to control the effect display device 9. You may make it transmit to 100. Even in that case, the effect control microcomputer 100 performs the display control in accordance with the effect control command received directly from the game control microcomputer 560 in the above-described embodiment. Display control can be performed in response to commands received from the board 35 or the sound / lamp board.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 120 to FIG. 127, an example of progress of the effect operation when the notice effect is executed for each of the first notice effect to the fifth notice effect described above will be described.

  FIG. 120 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the progress of the effect operation when the notice effect of button notice is executed. 120 is the advance notice determined by executing the symbol variation control pattern determined based on the variation pattern command and the processing of S1705 illustrated in FIG. 113 in the processing of S801 to S803 illustrated in FIG. It may be realized by executing the process of S845 shown in FIG. 117 based on the effect control pattern.

  In the process shown in FIG. 120, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9, variable display of all effect symbols of the left, middle, and right symbols is started. (ST11). Thereafter, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. Based on the above, a button operation promotion effect as shown in FIG. 64C is performed (ST12).

  When the button operation promotion effect is started in ST12, it becomes the first operation valid period, and the operation act on the operation button 30 by the player is effectively detected (ST13). Note that the timing at which the button operation promotion effect is started and the timing at which the first operation effective period is reached may be the same timing or may be different timings. As an example, after starting the button operation promotion effect, after performing the effect display indicating the countdown operation such as “3” → “2” → “1”, the button operation promotion effect is set as the first operation effective period. And the start timing of the first operation effective period may be different.

  After that, for example, whether the first operation valid period has ended based on the control data read out from the symbol variation control pattern or the notice effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value, or the variation time counted by the variation time timer Is determined (ST14). For example, if the end of the first operation valid period is indicated in the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern or the notice effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value, the detection of the operation on the operation button 30 is invalidated. The first operation valid period may be terminated. Alternatively, the first operation valid period may be ended when the production control process timer value matches a predetermined first operation valid period end determination value. If the first operation valid period has not expired in ST14 (N in ST14), it is determined whether or not a button operation is detected by the operation button 30 by checking an operation detection signal transmitted from the operation button 30 or the like. Determine (ST15). If it is determined in ST15 that no button operation has been detected (N in ST15), the process returns to ST14.

  When it is determined in ST15 that button operation has been detected (Y in ST15), the effect operation is switched to the button effect notification effect and the execution of the button notification effect as shown in FIG. 64D is started. (ST16a). Then, after the notice effect is finished, the derivation display of the effect symbol is started in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, 9R (ST17). Also, when it is determined in ST14 that the first operation effective period has ended (Y in ST14), the derivation display of the effect symbols is started (step ST17). The start timing of the derivation display of the effect symbol shown in ST17 is the same when the operation with the operation button 30 is performed and when the operation is not performed. Then, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, for example, whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. Determine (ST18). When it is determined that the variable display time set in ST18 has not elapsed (N in ST18), the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R are all produced. Is temporarily stopped for a predetermined short time (ST19), and the process returns to ST11. As a result, until the variation display time elapses, the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of pseudo continuous variations determined by the game control microcomputer 560, and the button notice is executed for each re-variation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display time has elapsed in ST18 after the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 (Y in ST18), “left”, “middle” ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R are all stopped and displayed (ST20), and the effect symbol variation display is terminated.

  FIG. 121 is a flowchart showing an example of the progress of the effect operation when the notice effect of the basic development notice as the first step-up notice is executed. 121 is the advance notice determined by executing the symbol variation control pattern determined based on the variation pattern command and the processing of S1710 shown in FIG. 113 in the processing of S801 to S803 shown in FIG. It may be realized by executing the process of S845 shown in FIG. 117 based on the effect control pattern.

  In the process shown in FIG. 121, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9, as in the process shown in FIG. Variation display of all effect symbols is started (ST11). Thereafter, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. Based on the above, the execution of the effect operation of the notice effect of the basic development notice shown in FIG. Then, after the notice effect is finished, the derivation display of the effect symbol is started in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R (step ST17).

  Then, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, for example, whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. Determine (ST18). When it is determined that the variable display time set in ST18 has not elapsed (N in ST18), the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R are all produced. Is temporarily stopped for a predetermined short time (ST19), and the process returns to ST11. Thus, until the variation display time elapses, the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560, and the basic advance notice is executed for each re-variation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display time has elapsed in ST18 after the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 (Y in ST18), “left”, “middle” ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R are all stopped and displayed (ST20), and the effect symbol variation display is terminated.

  FIG. 122 is a flowchart showing a progress example of the effect operation when the notice effect of the reach branch notice as the first step-up notice is executed. 122 is the advance notice determined by executing the symbol variation control pattern determined based on the variation pattern command and the processing of S1715 shown in FIG. 113 in the processing of S801 to S803 shown in FIG. It may be realized by executing the process of S845 shown in FIG. 117 based on the effect control pattern.

  In the process shown in FIG. 122, as in the process shown in FIG. 120, the left, middle, and right symbols are displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9. Variation display of all effect symbols is started (ST11). Thereafter, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. Based on the above, the effect of the step-up notice such as the first step and the second step shown in FIG. 66 (B) is started (ST11a).

  Then, when the reach branch timing as in the third step of FIG. 66 is reached, it is determined whether or not there is a reach branch that branches to the reach confirmation effect step, and it is decided to branch to the reach confirmation effect step. If it is, the process branches to the reach confirmation effect step, and the effect after the branch is started (ST16c). On the other hand, when the process does not branch to the reach confirmation effect step, the process branches to the reach unconfirmed effect step, and the effect after the branch is started (ST16d). Thereafter, the derivation display of the effect symbols is started in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R (step ST17).

  Then, for example, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, it is determined whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. (ST18). When it is determined that the variable display time set in ST18 has not elapsed (N in ST18), the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R are all produced. Is temporarily stopped for a predetermined short time (ST19), and the process returns to ST11. Thus, until the variation display time elapses, the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560, and the basic advance notice is executed for each re-variation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display time has elapsed in ST18 after the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 (Y in ST18), “left”, “middle” ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R are all stopped and displayed (ST20), and the effect symbol variation display is terminated.

  FIG. 123 is a flowchart showing an example of the progress of the effect operation when the notice effect of the button branch notice as the first step-up notice is executed. 123 is determined by executing the symbol variation control pattern determined based on the variation pattern command and the processing of S1719 and S1722 shown in FIG. 113 in the processing of S801 to S803 shown in FIG. It may be realized by executing the processing of S845 shown in FIG.

  In the process shown in FIG. 123, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9, as in the process shown in FIG. Variation display of all effect symbols is started (ST11). Thereafter, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. Based on the above, the effect of the step-up notice as shown in FIG. 67B or the like is started (ST11a). Thereafter, symbol derivation display is started in the “left” symbol display area 9L (ST11c).

  Then, at the button branch timing as shown in FIGS. 67 (C) and 67 (D), it is determined whether there is a button branch to branch to the button branch notice (ST11d), and the process branches to the button branch notice. Is determined, the button operation promotion effect as shown in FIG. 67C is started (ST12a).

  When the button operation promotion effect is started in ST12a, it becomes the second operation effective period, and the operation action on the operation button 30 by the player is effectively detected (ST13a). The timing at which the button operation promotion effect is started and the timing at which the second operation effective period is started may be the same timing or different timings. As an example, after the button operation promotion effect is started, after the effect display indicating the countdown operation “3” → “2” → “1” is performed, the button operation promotion effect is obtained by setting the second operation effective period. The start timing of and the start timing of the second operation effective period may be different.

  After that, for example, whether the second operation valid period has ended based on the control data read out from the symbol variation control pattern or the preview effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value, or the variation time counted by the variation time timer Is determined (ST14a). For example, if the end of the second operation valid period is indicated in the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern or the notice effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value, the detection of the operation on the operation button 30 is invalidated. The second operation valid period may be terminated. Alternatively, the first operation valid period may be ended when the production control process timer value matches a predetermined second operation valid period end determination value. If the second operation valid period has not expired in ST14a (N in ST14a), it is determined whether or not a button operation has been detected by the operation button 30 by checking an operation detection signal transmitted from the operation button 30 or the like. Determine (ST15). If it is determined in ST15 that no button operation is detected (N in ST15), the process returns to ST14a.

  When it is determined in ST15 that button operation is detected (Y in ST15), the effect operation is switched to the notice content display effect, and execution of the notice content display effect as shown in FIG. 67 (D) is started. (ST16e). Then, after the notice effect is completed, the derivation display of the effect symbol is started in each of the “right” and “middle” symbol display areas 9R and 9C (ST17a). In the button branch notice, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbols are displayed at ST17a without starting the derivation display of the effect symbols in the “left” symbol display area 9L at ST11a. You may make it start the derivation display of an effect symbol in the areas 9L, 9C, and 9R. Also, when it is determined in ST14a that the second operation effective period has ended (Y in ST14a), the derivation display of the effect symbol is started (step ST17a). The start timing of the derivation display of the effect symbol shown in ST17 is the same when the operation with the operation button 30 is performed and when the operation is not performed. Then, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, for example, whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. Determine (ST18). When it is determined that the variable display time set in ST18 has not elapsed (N in ST18), all of the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the “right” and “middle” symbol display areas 9R and 9C. In the symbol display area, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed for a predetermined short time (ST19), and the process returns to ST11. As a result, until the variation display time elapses, the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of pseudo continuous variations determined by the game control microcomputer 560, and the button notice is executed for each re-variation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display time has elapsed in ST18 after the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 (Y in ST18), “left”, “middle” ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R are all stopped and displayed (ST20), and the effect symbol variation display is terminated.

  FIG. 124 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the progress of the effect operation when the notice effect of the second step-up notice (monitor notice) is executed. Each process shown in FIG. 124 is performed in the process of S801 to S803 shown in FIG. 107, and the symbol change control pattern determined based on the change pattern command and the advance notice determined by executing the process of S547 shown in FIG. It may be realized by executing the process of S845 shown in FIG. 117 based on the effect control pattern.

  In the process shown in FIG. 124, the left, middle, and right symbols are displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9, as in the process shown in FIG. Variation display of all effect symbols is started (ST11). Thereafter, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. Based on the above, the execution of the effect operation of the notice effect of the second step-up notice shown in FIG. 65 (C) or the like is started (ST16f). Then, after the notice effect is finished, the derivation display of the effect symbol is started in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R (step ST17).

  Then, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, for example, whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. Determine (ST18). When it is determined that the variable display time set in ST18 has not elapsed (N in ST18), the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R are all produced. Is temporarily stopped for a predetermined short time (ST19), and the process returns to ST11. Thus, until the variation display time elapses, the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of pseudo continuous variations determined by the game control microcomputer 560, and the second step-up notice is executed for each re-variation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display time has elapsed in ST18 after the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 (Y in ST18), “left”, “middle” ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R are all stopped and displayed (ST20), and the effect symbol variation display is terminated.

  FIG. 125 is a flowchart showing an example of the progress of the effect operation when the notice effect of the movable member notice is executed. Each process shown in FIG. 125 is performed by executing the symbol fluctuation control pattern determined based on the fluctuation pattern command and the process of S552 shown in FIG. 112 in the processes of S801 to S803 shown in FIG. It may be realized by executing the process of S845 shown in FIG. 117 based on the effect control pattern.

  In the process shown in FIG. 125, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9, as in the process shown in FIG. Variation display of all effect symbols is started (ST11). Thereafter, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. Based on the above, execution of the effect operation of the notice effect of the movable member notice shown in FIG. 69 and the like is started (ST16g). Then, after the notice effect is finished, the derivation display of the effect symbol is started in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R (step ST17).

  Then, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, for example, whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. Determine (ST18). When it is determined that the variable display time set in ST18 has not elapsed (N in ST18), the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R are all produced. Is temporarily stopped for a predetermined short time (ST19), and the process returns to ST11. Thus, until the variation display time elapses, the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of pseudo continuous variations determined by the game control microcomputer 560, and the movable member notice is executed for each re-variation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display time has elapsed in ST18 after the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 (Y in ST18), “left”, “middle” ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R are all stopped and displayed (ST20), and the effect symbol variation display is terminated.

  FIG. 126 is a flowchart showing an example of the progress of the effect operation when the notice effect of the mini character notice is executed. Each process shown in FIG. 126 is performed by executing the symbol variation control pattern determined based on the variation pattern command and the process of S557 shown in FIG. 112 in the processing of S801 to S803 shown in FIG. It may be realized by executing the process of S845 shown in FIG. 117 based on the effect control pattern.

  In the process shown in FIG. 126, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9, as in the process shown in FIG. Variation display of all effect symbols is started (ST11). Thereafter, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. Based on the above, execution of the effect operation of the notice effect of the mini character notice shown in FIG. 70 (B1), (B2), (B3), etc. is started (ST16h). Then, after the notice effect is finished, the derivation display of the effect symbol is started in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R (step ST17).

  Then, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, for example, whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. Determine (ST18). When it is determined that the variable display time set in ST18 has not elapsed (N in ST18), the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R are all produced. Is temporarily stopped for a predetermined short time (ST19), and the process returns to ST11. Thus, until the variation display time elapses, the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560, and the mini character notice is executed for each re-variation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display time has elapsed in ST18 after the re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 (Y in ST18), “left”, “middle” ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R are all stopped and displayed (ST20), and the effect symbol variation display is terminated.

  FIG. 127 is a flowchart showing an example of the progress of the effect operation when the notice effect of group notice is executed. Each process shown in FIG. 127 is the advance notice determined by executing the symbol fluctuation control pattern determined based on the fluctuation pattern command and the process of S562 shown in FIG. 112 in the processes of S801 to S803 shown in FIG. It may be realized by executing the process of S845 shown in FIG. 117 based on the effect control pattern.

  In the processing shown in FIG. 127, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R on the effect display device 9, the variable display of all effect symbols of the left, middle, and right symbols is started. (ST11). Thereafter, derivation display of effect symbols is started for each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R (ST17). It is determined that the notice effects such as the first notice effect to the fourth notice effect as described above are executed between the start of the change display of the effect symbols and the start of the derivation display of the symbols. Sometimes, the determined notice effect is executed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the currently executed symbol variation is the last re-variation (ST21). For example, if the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations determined by the game control microcomputer 560 is two and the currently executed symbol fluctuation is the first time, the determination of NO is made in ST21 and the set fluctuation display time has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (ST29). This is determined based on, for example, control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value or the variation time counted by the variation time timer.

  When it is determined in ST29 that the set variable display time has not elapsed (N in ST29), the effect is produced in all of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R. The symbols are displayed temporarily for a predetermined short time (ST30), and the process returns to ST11. As a result, re-variation is repeatedly executed by the number of times of pseudo continuous variation determined by the game control microcomputer 560 until the variation display time elapses.

  On the other hand, if the re-variation is repeatedly executed and the current symbol variation is the last re-variation (Y in ST21), for example, control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value, or Then, based on the variation time counted by the variation time timer, it is determined whether or not the set reach production start timing has come (ST22). When it is determined in ST22 that it is the start timing of reach production, the reach state as shown in FIG. 71 (F) is displayed and the reach production is started (ST23).

  Next, various control data (display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, etc.) read from the notice control pattern data set as the notice pattern determined as described above corresponding to the production control process timer value. ), A button operation promotion effect as shown in FIG. 71 (G) is performed (ST24). When the button operation promotion effect is started in ST24, it becomes the third operation effective period, and the operation action on the operation button 30 by the player is effectively detected (ST25). Note that the timing at which the button operation promotion effect is started and the timing at which the third operation effective period is reached may be the same timing or may be different timings. As an example, after the button operation promotion effect is started, after the effect display indicating the countdown operation such as “3” → “2” → “1” is performed, the button operation promotion effect is obtained by setting the third operation valid period. And the start timing of the third operation valid period may be different.

  After that, for example, whether or not the third operation valid period has ended based on control data read from the symbol variation control pattern or the preview effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value, or the variation time counted by the variation time timer Is determined (ST26). For example, if the end of the third operation valid period is indicated in the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern or the notice effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value, the detection of the operation on the operation button 30 is invalidated. The third operation valid period may be terminated. Alternatively, the third operation effective period may be ended when the effect control process timer value matches a predetermined third operation effective period end determination value. If the third operation valid period has not expired in ST26 (N in ST26), it is determined whether or not a button operation is detected by the operation button 30 by checking an operation detection signal transmitted from the operation button 30 or the like. Determine (ST27). If it is determined in ST27 that no button operation is detected (N in ST27), the process returns to ST26.

  When it is determined in ST27 that a button operation has been detected (Y in ST27), the effect operation is switched to the group notice notice effect, and execution of the group notice notice effect as shown in FIG. 71 (H) is started. (ST28). As a result, the group notice effect is executed. Then, for example, based on the control data read from the symbol variation control pattern corresponding to the production control process timer value or the variation time measured by the variation time timer, it is determined whether or not the set variation display time has elapsed. (ST29). Also, when it is determined in ST26 that the third operation effective period has ended (Y in ST26), it is determined whether or not the set variable display time has elapsed.

  After a determination of YES in ST21, a determination of YES is always made in ST29. The effect symbols are completely stopped in all of the effect symbol display portions 5L, 5C, and 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right”. Display (ST31), and the variation display of the effect symbol is terminated.

  Only one of the notice effect of the button notice shown in FIG. 120 and the notice effect of the first step-up notice shown in FIG. 121 is executed. In addition, when either one of the first step-up advance notice effect shown in FIG. 121 and the second step-up advance notice effect shown in FIG. 124 is executed, both are executed in parallel. There is a case. 120, the button advance notice shown in FIG. 120 or the first step-up notice effect shown in FIG. 121, the second step-up notice notice effect shown in FIG. 124, the movable member notice notice effect shown in FIG. 125, and 126, there are a case where only one of the notice effects is executed and a case where any two to four notice effects are executed in parallel. In addition, when the group notice shown in FIG. 127 is executed after the reach state, the button notice or the first step-up notice effect, the second step-up notice effect, the movable member notice before the reach state is reached. There are cases where any one of the notice effects and the notice effect of the mini character notice is executed in parallel, or any two to four notice effects are executed in parallel.

  Next, a modified example of the aforementioned button branch notice will be described. As the button branch notice, the button operation promotion effect is performed after the button branch as described above, and the first operation notice effect is executed to execute the first notice on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated ( For example, this is performed in the second notice step), and after that, a button operation promotion effect is further performed, and a second notice as a special notice is executed on condition that the operation button 30 is further operated. A button branch notice effect that develops in two stages is performed by making a notice in a button branch continuous notice pattern (for example, in the third notice step in step 3).

  Such a button branch notice effect that develops in two stages may be executed in place of the aforementioned one stage button branch notice effect. In addition, the button branch notice effect (also referred to as two-stage button branch notice) developed in two stages is provided together with the above-described one-stage button branch notice (also referred to as one-stage button branch notice). It may be executed based on the selection. For example, in the notice step determination table as shown in FIG. 89 and FIG. 90, in addition to the button branch notice, a selection item for two-stage button branch notice is provided and the value of SR22 is assigned to be selected as the button branch notice. It may be. 89 and 90, a data table is provided for selecting a one-stage button branch notice and a two-stage button branch notice when a button branch is selected. May be selected based on a random value using the data table.

  Specifically, in the above-described first notice effect determination process, the display to be displayed in each of the continuous first operation notice effect and second operation notice effect based on the random number SR23 for determining the notice content of the button branch notice step. A notice content determination table for determining contents at the same time is provided, and when it is determined to perform a notice effect with a button branch continuous notice pattern in the pseudo-continuous, the first operation notice effect is produced using the notice content determination table. The display contents to be displayed in each of the second operation advance notice effects are simultaneously determined. Then, an operation effective period is provided for each of the first operation advance notice effect and the second operation advance notice effect. In the operation effect process of FIG. 118, the operation button 30 is operated within the operation effective period for the first operation advance notice effect. Sometimes, the display contents determined for the first operation notice effect are displayed, and the second operation notice effect is provided on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated within the operation valid period for the first operation notice effect. An operation valid period is set for the second operation notice effect. That is, only when the operation button 30 is operated within the operation valid period for the first operation advance notice effect, the second operation advance notice effect is executed. It should be noted that in such a button branch notice effect that develops in two stages, the determination of the display contents to be displayed in each of the first operation notice effect and the second operation notice effect is performed once in the notice content determination table. Depending on the combination of the display contents in the first operation notice effect and the display contents in the second operation notice effect determined in the above, the reliability of the jackpot may be set differently. Specifically, for example, the following configuration is used. For the display contents in the first operation notice effect, for example, one of the display contents A and B can be selected so that the reliability of the jackpot is display contents A> display contents B. For display contents in the operation announcement effect, for example, one of C and D can be selected so that the reliability of the jackpot is display contents C> display contents D. Then, for example, the reliability of the jackpot for the combination of the display contents in the first operation notice effect and the display contents in the second operation notice effect is selected, and the display content B is selected in the first operation notice effect. After that, the combination in which the display content D is selected in the second operation advance notice effect> the combination in which the display content D is selected in the second operation advance notice effect after the display content A is selected in the first operation advance notice effect. Select the display contents. In this way, even if the display of the first operation notification effect with a low jackpot reliability is performed, there may occur a case where the reliability of the jackpot increases depending on the display of the second operation notification effect. It is possible to prevent the player's expectation from being lowered by the notice effect.

  If such control is performed, a special operation is performed on the condition that the button operation is further performed after the first operation notification effect is performed in response to the button operation performed when the operation notification effect is selected. Therefore, the player's willingness to participate in the game can be further increased, and the interest of the game can be further improved. It should be noted that such a button branch notice effect that develops in two stages is not limited to one that develops in two stages, and may be in any number of stages as long as it develops in a plurality of stages.

  Note that the notice effect that develops in a plurality of stages in response to the button operation may be executed in the effect of the button notice shown in FIG. 64 described above.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, an example of determining an aspect of a notice pattern (notice message, notice step) at the time of each change of a pseudo-series at the start of a change display for a notice effect such as a button notice and a step-up notice is shown. It was. In the second embodiment, the mode of the notice pattern (notice message and notice step) and the form of the notice reliability display pattern (color reliability display and pattern reliability display) are selected and determined at each change of the pseudo-series. An example will be described.

  In the second embodiment, portions different from the first embodiment will be mainly described. In the second embodiment, the mode of the notice pattern (notice message, notice step) is selected and determined at each change of the pseudo-series. Therefore, the notice setting process is performed in S516a in the effect symbol variation start process shown in FIG. 109 of the first embodiment, and in the effect symbol variation process in S802. That is, in the notice setting process, the aspect of the notice pattern in the first variation of the notice effect is selected and determined in the effect symbol variation start process, and the form of the notice pattern in the second and subsequent variations is selected in the effect symbol variation process. It is determined. For the notice pattern selected and determined in such a notice setting process, the type of notice effect is determined when the notice setting process is first performed. When the type of the notice effect is determined, if the data specifying the type is stored until the change display in the change pattern in which the notice effect is performed is completed, the data after the type of the notice effect is determined. Based on the data specifying the type and the data specifying the fluctuation pattern, the same type of notice effect is produced using the same notice pattern determination table at each re-variation during the fluctuation display by the fluctuation pattern. A notice pattern can be determined.

  FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing the processing during effect design change (S802) in the effect control process according to the second embodiment. 128 is different from FIG. 117 in that the notice setting process is performed between S844 and S845 through S845a. Referring to FIG. 128, after the process timer is started in S844, it is confirmed whether or not it is time to start re-variation of the pseudo-series (S844a). Specifically, in S844a, whether the timing for specifying the start time of the re-variation predetermined for each pseudo-continuous change pattern, that is, the time for specifying the start time of each re-change from the start of the change display has been reached. Whether or not the production control microcomputer 100 recognizes whether or not it is the start time of the re-variation of the pseudo-series is recognized based on the measured value of the variation time timer. When it is determined that it is time to start re-variation of the pseudo-ream, a notice setting process is performed (S845a). Then, the next process data is set, and a process of changing the control state for the effect device (effect part) is performed based on the process data (S845). In S845, process data including data for performing the notice set in the notice setting process is set. As a result, every time the pseudo-series re-variation starts, a notice setting process as shown in FIGS. 129 to 130 is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not at the time of starting the re-variation of the pseudo-continuous, a process for changing the control state for the effect device (effect part) is performed based on the process data without performing the advance notice setting process (S845). ).

  FIG. 129 and FIG. 130 are flowcharts showing the notice setting process according to the second embodiment. As described above, the notice setting process in the second embodiment is performed in S516a of the effect symbol variation start process shown in FIG. 109 before the start of the variable display, and then during the effect symbol variation in FIG. 128 during the variable display. This is a common subroutine program executed in S845a of the process.

  In the notice setting process, the effect control CPU 101 first performs the notice effect for each of the first notice effect to the fifth notice effect at the start of the change for the current change (including both initial change and re-change). It is determined whether or not it is determined (S530). Specifically, in S530, regarding the current change, at the start of the change, the process of determining the notice pattern type of the first notice effect in S533, whether or not the second notice effect (second step-up notice) is executed in S533c, S533f The process of determining whether or not to execute the third notice effect (movable member notice) by S, whether to execute the fourth notice effect (mini-character notice) by S533i, and whether to execute the fifth notice effect (group notice) by S533m Determine whether or not.

  More specifically, in S533, as described above, the notice pattern type is determined and stored by selecting one of no first notice effect, button notice, and first step-up notice. In S533c, as described above, it is determined whether or not to execute the second step-up notice, and data indicating the determination content is stored. In S533f, as described above, it is determined whether or not to perform the movable member notice, and data indicating the determination content is stored. In S533i, as described above, it is determined whether or not the mini character notice is executed, and data indicating the determined content is stored. In S533i, as described above, it is determined whether or not the group notice is to be executed, and data indicating the determination content is stored.

  The stored data related to the notice effect is stored in the RAM in a predetermined notice pattern type storage area (data storage area related to the first notice effect) in the RAM every time a change including the initial change and the re-change is performed. Up notice determination content storage area (data storage area related to second notice effect), movable member notice determination content storage area (data storage area related to third notice effect), mini character notice determination content storage area (data storage area related to fourth notice effect) ) And the group notice determination content storage area (data storage area related to the fifth notice effect), and cleared when each change including the initial change and the re-change is completed. Therefore, in S530, it is determined whether or not data specifying the notice pattern type of the first notice effect is stored in the notice pattern type storage area, and the second step up notice content storage area stores the second step up notice. To determine whether or not data for specifying whether or not to execute is stored, and to specify whether or not to execute the movable member advance notice in the movable member advance notice content storage area Determining whether or not data is stored, determining whether or not the data specifying the determination content of whether or not to execute the mini character notice is stored in the mini character notice determination content storage area, and determining the group notice Based on determining whether or not data specifying the content of determination on whether or not to execute group notice is stored in the content storage area, Whether the first to announcement attraction of the 5 had it is determined whether or not already been determined. In addition to these data, the data executed for the prohibition process described above (including the data that could be executed because the notice is not executed unless the button is operated). It is stored in the prohibition processing content storage area.

  Next, the notice pattern type is determined by executing the same processing as S531 to S533 in FIG. In addition, by executing the same processing as S5330 to S5333 in FIG. 111, the first step advance notice type (basic development advance notice, reach branch notice, Button branch). In addition, by performing the same processing as S533a to S533c in FIG. 111, it is determined whether or not the second notice effect is to be executed. Further, by performing the same processing as S533d to S533f in FIG. 111, it is determined whether or not the movable member notice effect is to be executed. In addition, by executing the same processing as S533g to S533i in FIG. 111, it is determined whether or not the mini character notice effect is executed. In addition, by performing the same processing as S533j to S533m in FIG. 111, the presence / absence of execution of the group notice effect is determined. Then, the same processing as S534 in FIG. 111 is performed. If it is determined in S534 that there is no first notice effect, the first notice effect determination process shown in FIG. 131 is executed, and then the process proceeds to S539.

  Here, after describing the processing contents of the first notice effect determination process first, the contents after S539 of the notice setting process will be described. FIG. 131 is a flowchart showing first notice effect determination processing according to the second embodiment.

  In FIG. 131, first, similarly to S1701 of FIG. 113, it is determined whether or not the type of notice to be executed as the first step-up notice is determined to be a button notice (S1701). If it is determined in S1701 that the button is not in advance, the process proceeds to S1706 described below. On the other hand, when it is determined in S1701 that the button is in advance, as in S1702 in FIG. 113, one of the advancement selection tables shown in FIGS. S1702).

  Then, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the time value of the variation time timer is set. Based on the elapsed time from the start of the change, since the elapsed time from the start of the change in the change pattern and the change state at the start of the change are associated with each other. The number of times of change can be specified), and the data table used for determining the notice message of the button notice at the time of the corresponding change is selected and set (S1703a). More specifically, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S1702, it corresponds to the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the current number of variations. Select and set only the notice message determination table to be set. As a result, the notice message determination table to be selected differs depending on how many times the current fluctuation is set according to the fluctuation pattern.

  Next, as in S1704 in FIG. 113, numerical data indicating the random number SR8 for determining the button notice notice message is extracted (S1704). Then, using the data table set in S1703a, based on the random value extracted in S1704, a button warning notice pattern (notice message) in the current variation is selected and determined (S1705a). In the determination of the notice pattern in S1705a, the prohibition process (preliminary message prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that becomes a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. . More specifically, among the first to third notice patterns of fluctuation times, the present fluctuation times are determined for the current fluctuation times, but each time the notice pattern is decided for each fluctuation time, it is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the previous notice pattern is updated and stored in the previous notice message storage area of the RAM, and is used for prohibition processing (preliminary message prohibition processing) when determining the notice pattern of the next variable times. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern for each variable time for the button notice, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability of the big hit decreases as the order of the variable times decreases. Note that such prohibition processing may not be performed when the operation of the operation button 30 is not detected in the button notice. Next, in order to use for such prohibition processing (preliminary message prohibition processing), the data of the previous notice pattern (previous notice message) determined in S1705a is updated and stored in the previous notice message storage area of the RAM (S1724). 1 The notice effect determination process is terminated.

  When the process proceeds to S1706, it is determined whether or not the type of notice to be executed as the first step-up notice has been determined as the basic development notice, similarly to S1706 in FIG. 113 (S1706). If it is determined in S1706 that it is not a basic advance notice, the process proceeds to S1711 to be described later. On the other hand, when it is determined in S1701 that it is a basic advance notice, any of the notice selection tables shown in (A) to (C) of FIG. 75 is selected and set, as in S1707 of FIG. (S1707).

  Then, as in the case of S1703a described above, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations. At the same time, the number of times of change is determined based on the time value of the change time timer, and the data table used for determining the notice step of the basic advance notice at the time of change is selected and set (S1708a). ). More specifically, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S1707, it corresponds to the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the current number of variations. Select and set only the notice step determination table to be set. As a result, the notice step determination table to be selected differs depending on how many times the current fluctuation is set according to the fluctuation pattern.

  Next, similarly to S1709 of FIG. 113, numerical data indicating a random value SR9 for determining the advance step of the basic advance notice is extracted (S1709). Then, using the data table set in 708a, based on the random value extracted in S1709, a notice pattern (notice step) of the basic development notice in the current change is selected and determined (S1710a). In the determination of the notice pattern in S1710a, the prohibition process as described above (notice step prohibition process) is performed so that the reliability of the big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. . More specifically, among the first to third notice patterns of fluctuation times, the present fluctuation times are determined for the current fluctuation times, but each time the notice pattern is decided for each fluctuation time, it is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the previous notice pattern is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM, and is used for the prohibition process (notice step prohibition process) when determining the notice pattern of the next variable times. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern of each change time for the basic advance notice, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability of the big hit decreases as the order of the change times progresses. Next, in order to use such a prohibition process (preliminary step prohibition process), the data of the previous notice pattern (previous notice step) determined in S1710a is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM (S1724). 1 The notice effect determination process is terminated.

  When the process proceeds to S1711, as in S1711 of FIG. 113, it is determined whether or not the type of notice to be executed as the first step-up notice is determined to be reach branch notice (S1711). If it is determined in S1711 that it is not a reach branch notice, the process proceeds to S1716 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined in S1701 that it is a reach branch notice, any of the notice selection tables shown in (A) to (C) of FIG. 85 is selected and set as in S1712 of FIG. (S1712).

  Then, as in the case of S1703a described above, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations. At the same time, the number of times of change is determined based on the time value of the change time timer, and the data table used to determine the notice step of the corresponding reach branch notice at the time of change is selected and set (S1713a). ). More specifically, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S1712, it corresponds to the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the current number of variations. Select and set only the notice step determination table to be set. As a result, the notice step determination table to be selected differs depending on how many times the current fluctuation is set according to the fluctuation pattern.

  Next, similarly to S1714 in FIG. 113, numerical data indicating the random number SR21 for determining the advance notice step of reach branch notice is extracted (S1714). Then, using the data table set in 713a, a notice branch pattern (notice step) for reaching the current branch is selected and determined based on the random number extracted in S1714 (S1715a). In the determination of the notice pattern in S1715a, the prohibition process as described above (notice step prohibition process) is performed so that the reliability that is a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. . More specifically, among the first to third notice patterns of fluctuation times, the present fluctuation times are determined for the current fluctuation times, but each time the notice pattern is decided for each fluctuation time, it is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the previous notice pattern is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM, and is used for the prohibition process (notice step prohibition process) when determining the notice pattern of the next variable times. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern of each variable time for the reach branch notice, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability of the big hit decreases as the order of the variable times progresses. Next, in order to use such a prohibition process (preliminary step prohibition process), the data of the previous notice pattern (previous notice step) determined in S1715a is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM (S1724). 1 The notice effect determination process is terminated.

  Further, the process proceeds to S1716 when the type of the notice to be executed as the first step-up notice is determined as the button branch notice, and similarly to S1716 of FIG. 113, (A) to (C) of FIG. Is selected and set (S1716).

  Then, as in the case of S1703a described above, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations. At the same time, the number of times of change is determined based on the measured value of the change time timer, and the data table used for determining the notice step of the button branch notice at the time of change is selected and set (S1717a). ). More specifically, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S1716, it corresponds to the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the current number of variations. Select and set only the notice step determination table to be set. As a result, the notice step determination table to be selected differs depending on how many times the current fluctuation is set according to the fluctuation pattern.

  Next, similarly to S1718 in FIG. 113, numerical data indicating the random number value SR22 for determining the notice step of button branch notice is extracted (S1718). Then, using the data table set in 713a, based on the random number value extracted in S1718, a button branch notice notice pattern (notice step) in the current variation is selected and determined (S1719a), and the process proceeds to S17190a. In the determination of the notice pattern in S1719a, the prohibition process as described above (notice step prohibition process) is performed so that the reliability of the big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. . More specifically, among the first to third notice patterns of fluctuation times, the present fluctuation times are determined for the current fluctuation times, but each time the notice pattern is decided for each fluctuation time, it is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the previous notice pattern is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM, and is used for the prohibition process (notice step prohibition process) when determining the notice pattern of the next variable times. As a result, in the determination of the notice pattern for each variable time for the button branch notice, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability of the big hit decreases as the order of the variable times progresses.

  Next, when the process proceeds to S17190a, it is determined whether or not the current change notice pattern determined in S1719 is “button branch” (S17190a). If it is determined in S17190a that it is not “button branching”, the first notice effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in S17190a that it is “button branch”, the post-button branch notice content selection table shown in FIG. 91A is set (S1720) as in S1720 of FIG.

  Then, the following processing is performed in S1721a. With reference to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to the variation pattern of no pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, or three pseudo-continuous, and this time determined in S1719a Based on the previous notice pattern, it is determined whether or not it is decided to be “button branch” at the current fluctuation time. Further, using the post-button branch notice content selection table set in S1720, information on the variation pattern determined as described above (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations), and the current determination determined as described above. Based on the information of whether or not it will be “button branch” at the time of the change, the content of the notice to be determined is determined according to the button operation at the time of “button branch” at the time of the change A table is determined from the above three tables and set. Then, numerical data indicating the random number SR23 for determining the notice content after button branching is extracted (S1722).

  Next, based on the random number value extracted in S1722, the notice content after the button branch at the current fluctuation time is determined and stored using the notice content determination table set in S1721a (S1723a). Then, in order to use it for the above-mentioned notice step prohibition process, the data of the notice pattern (previous notice step) determined in S1719a is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM, and is also used for the aforementioned notice content prohibition process. Therefore, the data of the notice content (previous notice content) determined in S1723a is updated and stored in the previous notice content storage area of the RAM (S1724). Thereafter, the first notice effect determination process is terminated.

  After S535, the same processing as S539 of FIG. 111 is performed, and any of the notice reliability selection tables shown in (A) to (D) of FIG. 80 is selected and set as the notice reliability selection table. .

  Then, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the time value of the variation time timer is set. Based on this, it is determined how many times the change has occurred, and a data table used to determine the notice reliability display pattern at the time of the corresponding change is selected and set (S540a). In this case, the determination of how many times the current variation is in the variation pattern being executed is performed by the same determination as in the above-described case of S536a. More specifically, in S540a, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S539, the change pattern to be executed (no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, three pseudo-continuations) and the current number of changes Only the corresponding color reliability display determination table or pattern reliability display determination table is selected and determined and set. As a result, the selected color reliability display determination table or pattern reliability display determination table differs depending on how many times the current variation is set according to the variation pattern.

  Next, the numerical data indicating the random number value SR10 for determining the color reliability display or the numerical data indicating the random value SR11 for determining the pattern reliability display is extracted according to the type of notice (S541). Then, using the data table set in S540a, based on the random value extracted in S541, the notice reliability display pattern in the current variation is selected and determined (S542a). In the determination of the notice reliability display pattern in S542a, the prohibition process (color reliability prohibition process as described above) is performed so that the reliability that becomes a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. Or pattern reliability prohibition processing) is performed. More specifically, among the first to third noticed reliability display patterns of the fluctuation times, each time the fluctuation times progresses, the notice reliability display pattern of the current fluctuation is determined for the fluctuation times at that time. Each time the notice reliability display pattern is determined at each variable time, the previous reliability display pattern data indicating the determined notice reliability display pattern is updated and stored in the previous pattern reliability display storage area of the RAM, and the next It is used for prohibition processing (color reliability prohibition processing or pattern reliability prohibition processing) when determining the notice reliability display pattern of variable times. Thereby, in the determination of the notice reliability display pattern for each variable time, the notice reliability display pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of the variable times progresses. Next, for use in such prohibition processing (color reliability prohibition processing or pattern reliability prohibition processing), the notice reliability display pattern (previous color reliability display or previous pattern reliability display) determined in S542a is used. The data is updated and stored in the previous pattern reliability display storage area of the RAM (S542b), and the process proceeds to S543.

  When the processing proceeds to S543, the same processing as S543 in FIG. 112 is performed. When it is determined in S543 that the second notice effect is present, the notice selection table shown in FIGS. 93A to 93C is used as the notice selection table according to the information on the display result specified based on the variation pattern. One of them is selected and set (S544).

  Then, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, or three quasi-continuations, and based on the contents of the process data The number of times of change is determined, and the data table used for determining the notice pattern of the second notice effect at the time of the corresponding change is selected and set (S545a). In this case, as for the determination of how many times the current variation is in the variation pattern being executed, the number of variations is determined based on the time value of the variation time timer at the time of the determination, as in S536a. It is done by doing. More specifically, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S544, it corresponds to the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the current number of variations. Select and set only the notice step determination table to be set. As a result, the notice step determination table to be selected differs depending on how many times the current fluctuation is set according to the fluctuation pattern.

  Next, processing similar to S546 in FIG. 112 is performed. Thereby, numerical data indicating the random value SR13 for determining the advance step of the second step-up advance is extracted (S546). Then, using the data table set in S545a, based on the random value extracted in S546, the notice pattern of the second notice effect in the current variation is selected and determined (S547a). In the determination of the notice pattern in S547a, the prohibition process (preliminary step prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that becomes a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. . More specifically, among the first to third notice patterns of fluctuation times, the present fluctuation times are determined for the current fluctuation times, but each time the notice pattern is decided for each fluctuation time, it is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the previous notice pattern is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM, and is used for the prohibition process (notice step prohibition process) when determining the notice pattern of the next variable times. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern for each variable time, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of the variable times progresses. Next, in order to use such a prohibition process (preliminary step prohibition process), the data of the previous notice pattern (previous notice step) determined in S547a is updated and stored in the previous notice step storage area of the RAM (S547b), and S548. Proceed to

  When the process proceeds to S548, the same process as S548 in FIG. 112 is performed. When it is determined in S548 that the third notice effect is present, the notice selection table shown in FIGS. One of them is selected and set (S549).

  Then, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the time value of the variation time timer is set. Based on the elapsed time from the start of the change, since the elapsed time from the start of the change in the change pattern and the change state at the start of the change are associated with each other. The data table used for determining the notice pattern of the third notice effect at the time of the corresponding change is selected and set (S550a). In this case, the determination of how many times the current variation is in the variation pattern being executed is performed by determining the number of variations based on the measured value of the variation time timer, as in S536a. It is. More specifically, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S549, it corresponds to the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the current number of variations. Only the movable member operation determination table to be selected is selected and set. As a result, the selected movable member operation determination table differs depending on how many times the current variation is set according to the variation pattern.

  Next, processing similar to S551 in FIG. 112 is performed. Thereby, numerical data indicating the random value SR15 for determining the movable member operation is extracted (S551). Then, using the data table set in S550a, based on the random value extracted in S551, the notice pattern of the third notice effect in the current variation is selected and determined (S552a). In the determination of the notice pattern in S552a, the prohibition process (movable member operation prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability of the big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. It is. More specifically, among the first to third notice patterns of fluctuation times, the present fluctuation times are determined for the current fluctuation times, but each time the notice pattern is decided for each fluctuation time, it is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the previous notice pattern is updated and stored in the previous movable member operation storage area of the RAM, and is used for the prohibition process (movable member operation prohibition process) when determining the next change time notice pattern. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern for each variable time, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of the variable times progresses. Next, in order to use such prohibition processing (movable member operation prohibition processing), the data of the advance notice pattern (previous movable member operation) determined in S552a is updated and stored in the previous movable member operation storage area of the RAM (S552b). ), Go to S553.

  When the process proceeds to S553, the same process as S553 in FIG. 112 is performed. When it is determined in S553 that there is no fourth notice effect, the process proceeds to S557c described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is the fourth notice effect in S553, the notice selection shown in FIGS. 101A to 101C is made as a notice selection table in accordance with the information of the display result specified based on the variation pattern. One of the tables is selected and set (S554).

  Then, referring to the received variation pattern command, it is determined whether the variation pattern to be executed corresponds to no pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, or three pseudo-continuations, and the time value of the variation time timer is set. Based on this, it is determined how many times the change has occurred, and a data table used to determine the notice pattern of the fourth notice effect at the time of the corresponding change is selected and set (S565a). In this case, as for the determination of how many times the current variation is in the variation pattern being executed, the number of variations is determined based on the time value of the variation time timer at the time of the determination, as in S536a. It is done by doing. More specifically, among the tables shown in the notice selection table determined in S554, it corresponds to the variation pattern to be executed (no quasi-continuation, two quasi-continuations, three quasi-continuations) and the current number of variations. Select and set only the mini character display determination table to be set. As a result, the selected mini character display determination table differs depending on how many times the current variation is set according to the variation pattern.

  Next, processing similar to S556 in FIG. 112 is performed. Thereby, numerical data indicating the random character value SR17 for determining the mini character display is extracted (S556). Then, using the data table set in S565a, based on the random value extracted in S556, the notice pattern of the fourth notice effect in the current variation is selected and determined (S557a). In the determination of the notice pattern in S557a, the prohibition process (mini-character display prohibition process) as described above is performed so that the reliability that becomes a big hit is not selected in such a manner that the reliability decreases as the order of the fluctuation times progresses. . More specifically, among the first to third notice patterns of fluctuation times, the present fluctuation times are determined for the current fluctuation times, but each time the notice pattern is decided for each fluctuation time, it is decided. The previous notice pattern data indicating the notice pattern is updated and stored in the previous mini character display storage area of the RAM, and is used for the prohibition process (mini character display prohibition process) when determining the next change notice pattern. Thereby, in the determination of the notice pattern for each variable time, the notice pattern is not selected in such a manner that the reliability that becomes a big hit decreases as the order of the variable times progresses. Next, in order to use such prohibition processing (mini character display prohibition processing), the data of the notice pattern (previous mini character display) determined in S557a is updated and stored in the previous mini character display storage area of the RAM (S557b), and S557c. Proceed to

  When the process has proceeded to S557c, it is determined whether or not it is the time of the start of re-variation of the pseudo-series by performing the same process as S844a (S557c). Specifically, in S557c, based on the timing for specifying the start time of re-variation predetermined for each pseudo-continuous change pattern, that is, the time for specifying the start time of each re-change from the start of the change display, The production control microcomputer 100 recognizes whether or not the time of the last re-variation in the pseudo-series has been reached, based on the time value of the variation time timer, so that the last re-variation in the pseudo-series is started. Determine whether or not. The fifth notice effect is an effect that is executed after the reach state, and since it is only necessary to determine the notice pattern at the start of the last re-variation in the quasi-run, it is determined not to be the last re-change start in the quasi-run in S557c. If so, the notice setting process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S557c that it is the start of the last re-variation in the pseudo-ream, the process proceeds to S558 to determine the notice pattern.

  When the processing proceeds to S558, the same processing as S558 to S562 in FIG. 112 is performed. Accordingly, the notice pattern of the group notice effect after the reach state is determined and stored in the same manner as S558 to S562 described above. After S562, the notice setting process is terminated.

  By performing the processing as described above, in the second embodiment, at each fluctuation of the pseudo-series, the notice pattern (the notice message of the button notice, First step up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice) notice step, second step up notice (monitor notice) notice step, movable member action of movable member notice, and mini character notice of mini character notice ) And a notice reliability display pattern (color reliability display, pattern reliability display) can be selected and determined. In addition, according to the notice setting process of FIGS. As shown in, for each fluctuation time during the display of the fluctuation display that is a pseudo-continuous, the warning pattern (button advance notice or first step up notice (basic advance notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice) notice By determining the pattern, the notice pattern of the second step-up notice, the notice pattern of the movable member notice, and the notice pattern of the mini character notice, the control burden (processing burden) of the effect control microcomputer 100 before the start of the variable display is determined. ) Kill. In addition, according to the notice setting process of FIGS. 129 and 130, as shown in S539 to S542b, the notice reliability display pattern (color reliability) of each variable time is displayed for each variable number of times during the display of the variable display as a pseudo-continuous. By determining the degree display pattern or the pattern reliability display pattern), it is possible to reduce the control burden (processing burden) of the production control microcomputer 100 before the start of the variable display.

  In the second embodiment described above, in the case of performing the notice effect, the notice pattern for the same type of notice effect is determined using the same notice pattern determination table at each re-variation during the variation display by the variation pattern. An example was explained. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the data for specifying the type of the notice effect as described above is not stored. The notice pattern for the notice effect may be determined.

  Next, in the second embodiment, an example of performing a button branch notice effect that develops in two stages as described as a modification in the first embodiment will be described.

  Such a button branch advance notice effect developed in two stages may be executed instead of the button branch notice advanced in the first stage described above. In addition, such a button branch advance notice (also called a two-stage button branch notice) developed in two stages is provided together with the button branch notice (also called a one-stage button branch notice) developed in the first stage described above. It may be executed based on such selection. For example, in the notice step determination table as shown in FIG. 89 and FIG. 90, in addition to the button branch notice, a selection item for two-stage button branch notice is provided and the value of SR22 is assigned to be selected as the button branch notice. It may be. 89 and 90, a data table is provided for selecting a one-stage button branch notice and a two-stage button branch notice when a button branch is selected. May be selected based on a random value using the data table, when either the one-step button branch notice or the two-stage button branch notice is selected.

  Specifically, in the first notice effect presentation process described above with reference to FIG. 131, in each of the continuous first action notice effect and second operation notice effect based on the random number SR23 for determining the notice content of the button branch notice step. A notice content determination table for determining the display contents to be displayed each time a variable display is performed is provided, and when it is decided to perform a notice effect with a button branch continuous notice pattern in the pseudo-series, the notice contents are determined. Using the table, display contents to be displayed in each of the first operation advance notice effect and the second operation advance notice effect are determined each time the variable display is performed. An operation effective period is provided for each of the first operation advance notice effect and the second operation advance notice effect, and in the operation effect process described above, the operation button 30 is operated within the operation effective period for the first operation advance notice effect. In addition, the display contents determined for the first operation advance notice effect are displayed, and on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated within the operation valid period for the first operation advance notice effect, the second operation advance notice effect is provided. The operation valid period is set to enable execution of the second operation notice effect. That is, only when the operation button 30 is operated within the operation valid period for the first operation advance notice effect, the second operation advance notice effect is executed. It should be noted that in such a button branch notice effect that develops in two stages, the determination of the display contents to be displayed in each of the first operation notice effect and the second operation notice effect is performed once in the notice content determination table. Depending on the combination of the display contents in the first operation notice effect and the display contents in the second operation notice effect determined in the above, the reliability of the jackpot may be set differently. Specifically, for example, the following configuration is used. For the display contents in the first operation notice effect, for example, one of A and B display contents can be selected so that the reliability of the jackpot is display contents A> display contents B. For display contents in the operation announcement effect, for example, one of C and D can be selected so that the reliability of the jackpot is display contents C> display contents D. Then, for example, the reliability of the jackpot for the combination of the display contents in the first operation notice effect and the display contents in the second operation notice effect is selected, and the display content B is selected in the first operation notice effect. After that, the combination in which the display content D is selected in the second operation advance notice effect> the combination in which the display content D is selected in the second operation advance notice effect after the display content A is selected in the first operation advance notice effect. Select the display contents. In this way, even if a display with low reliability of the jackpot is performed in the first operation notice effect, there is a case where the reliability of the jackpot increases depending on the display in the second operation notice effect. It is possible to prevent the player's expectation from being lowered by the notice effect.

  If such control is performed, as in the case of the first embodiment, after the first operation advance notice effect is executed in response to the button operation being performed when the operation advance notice effect is selected, the button is further displayed. Since a special notice effect (special operation notice effect) is executed on the condition that the operation has been performed, it is possible to further increase the player's willingness to participate in the game and to further enhance the interest of the game. Can do. It should be noted that such a button branch notice effect that develops in two stages is not limited to one that develops in two stages, and may be in any number of stages as long as it develops in a plurality of stages.

  Note that the notice effect that develops in a plurality of stages in response to the button operation may be executed in the effect of the button notice shown in FIG. 64 described above.

In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is specified, an eighth advance notice message batch determination table 203H shown in FIG. 134 is used to collectively determine the advance notice patterns for the first and second changes. Is selected.

  The first step up notice selection table at the time of big hit shown in (D) is when the first step up notice is determined as the notice pattern type when the big hit fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “big hit” is designated. This is a data table for selecting a notice step batch decision table as a notice pattern determination table used for determining a specific notice pattern. In the first step-up notice selection table at the time of big hit, different notice step batch determination tables are selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern designated by the effect control command. Data is set in.

  In the big hit first step-up notice selection table shown in (D), specifically, the notice step batch determination table is selected as follows. For example, when a variation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” is designated, the first notice step batch determination table 204A shown in FIG. 135 is selected.

In the first button notice selection table at the time of reach detachment, a different notice step batch decision table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern designated by the effect control command. Data is set in.

  Specifically, in the first step-up advance notice selection table at the time of out of reach shown in (E), the advance step batch decision table is selected as follows. For example, when a variation pattern of “no quasi-continuous” is designated, the fourth notice step batch determination table 204D shown in FIG. 136 is selected. In addition, when a variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous two times” is designated among the variation patterns that become pseudo-continuous, in order to collectively determine the respective notice patterns at the time of the first and second variations, as shown in FIG.

  The first step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach deviation shown in (F) indicates that the first step-up notice as the notice pattern type when the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation display result is “non-reach out” is designated. This is a data table for selecting a notice step batch decision table to be used for determining a specific notice pattern. In the first step-up notice selection table at the time of non-reach, a different notice step batch decision table is selected according to the total number of change displays (including re-change) performed in the change pattern specified by the production control command. Data is set to do.

  Specifically, in the non-reach step-up notice selection table shown in (F), the notice step batch determination table is selected as follows. For example, when the variation pattern “no pseudo-ream” is designated, the seventh notice message determination table 204G shown in FIG. 136 is selected. In addition, when the variation pattern of “pseudo-continuous twice” is designated, in order to collectively determine the respective notice patterns at the time of the first and second changes, the eighth notice message collective decision table 204H shown in FIG. Is selected.

  Next, the contents of the first notice message batch determination table 203A to the third notice message batch determination table 203C used when the variable display result is a big hit will be described. FIG. 133 is an explanatory diagram of a configuration example of the first notice message batch determination table 203A to the third notice message batch determination table 203C. In the case of the third embodiment, any one of “...”, “CHANCE”, and “FEVER” is selected and used as the notice message.

  In FIG. 133, (A) to (C) show the first notice message batch determination table 203A to the third notice message batch determination table 203C. In each notice message batch determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR8, the display contents of the notice message to be selected (the notice message in the figure), and the setting pattern number (the notice pattern setting number) is shown. Yes.

  In the first notice message batch determination table 203A in (A), one of the notice patterns assigned with the set pattern numbers 1-1 to 1-3 is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. The first notice message batch determination table 203A is set so that one of “...”, “CHANCE”, and “FEVER” is selected as the first notice message. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “no quasi-continuous”, any one of “...”, “CHANCE”, and “FEVER” is selected and displayed as the notice message. In the first notice message batch determination table 203A, numerical data is set so that the ratio of the notice message selection is “... >>“ CHANCE ”>“ FEVER ”.

  It should be noted that “...” Of the notice messages used in the first notice message batch determination table 203A may not be selected. In that way, when a big hit is caused by the fluctuation pattern of “no pseudo-ream”, the player is given the impression that the button notice is not executed or that the notice message is not displayed by the button notice. It is possible to prevent the reliability of the notice from being lowered excessively.

  In the second notice message batch determination table 203B in (B), any of the notice patterns assigned with the set pattern numbers 2-1 to 2-5 is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. In the second notice message batch determination table 203B, a setting is made so that any one of the notice messages “...” And “CHANCE” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8 in the first fluctuation. Has been. The second change is set so that one of the notice messages “...”, “CHANCE”, and “FEVER” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. . In the first variation, “...” Is set to have a higher selected ratio than “CHANCE” and “FEVER”. In the second variation, “CHANCE” and “FEVER” are set to have a higher selection ratio than “...”. Therefore, in the case of the “pseudo-continuous twice” variation pattern, “...” Is easily selected in the first variation, and “CHANCE” or “FEVER” is easily selected in the second variation.

  In the third notice message batch determination table 203C in (C), one of the notice patterns assigned with the set pattern numbers 3-1 to 3-7 is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. In the third notice message batch determination table 203C, one of the notice messages “...” And “CHANCE” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8 in each of the first and second fluctuations. It is set to do so. The third change is set so that any of the notice messages “...”, “CHANCE”, and “FEVER” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. . In the first fluctuation, “...” Is set to have a higher selected ratio than “CHANCE”. In the second variation, the ratio of selecting “CHANCE” is set higher than that in the first variation. In the third variation, “CHANCE” and “FEVER” are set to have a higher selection ratio than “...”. Therefore, in the case of the “pseudo-continuous 3 times” variation pattern, “...” Is easily selected in the first variation, and the ratio of “CHANCE” being selected in the second variation is higher than in the first variation. In the third variation, “CHANCE” or “FEVER” is easily selected.

  Next, the contents of the fourth notice message batch determination table 203D to the eighth notice message batch determination table 203H used when the fluctuation display result is out of order will be described. FIG. 134 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the fourth notice message collective decision table 203D to the eighth notice message collective decision table 203H.

  134, (A) to (E) show fourth notice message batch determination table 203D to eighth notice message batch determination table 203H. In each notice message batch determination table, the relationship between the extracted value of the random number SR8, the display contents of the notice message to be selected (the notice message in the figure), and the setting pattern number (the notice pattern setting number) is shown. Yes.

  In the fourth notice message batch determination table 203D in (A), any one of the notice patterns assigned with the set pattern numbers 4-1 to 4-2 is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. The fourth notice message batch determination table 203D is set so that either “...” Or “CHANCE” is selected as the first notice message. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern “no quasi-continuous”, either “...” Or “CHANCE” is selected and displayed as the notice message. In the fourth notice message batch determination table 203D, numerical data is set so that the ratio of selecting the notice message is “... >>“ CHANCE ”. As shown in (A), the fourth notice message batch determination table 203D has a higher ratio of selecting “...” Than the first notice message batch determination table 203A when the jackpot is reached. SR8 numerical data is set.

  In the fifth notice message batch determination table 203E in (B), any one of the notice patterns to which the set pattern numbers 5-1 to 5-3 are assigned is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. In the fifth notice message batch determination table 203E, the notice message of “...” Or “CHANCE” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8 in each of the first and second fluctuations. It is set to do so. In the first fluctuation, “...” Is set to have a higher selected ratio than “CHANCE”. In the second variation, the ratio of selecting “CHANCE” is set higher than that in the first variation. Therefore, when the variation pattern is “twice pseudo-continuous”, “...” Is easily selected in the first variation, and “CHANCE” is easily selected. As shown in (B), in the fifth notice message batch determination table 203E, the ratio at which “... SR8 numerical data is set.

  In the sixth notice message batch determination table 203F in (C), one of the notice patterns assigned with the set pattern numbers 6-1 to 6-4 is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random number SR8. In the sixth notice message batch determination table 203F, any one of the notice messages “...” And “CHANCE” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR8 in each of the first to third fluctuations. It is set to do so. In the first fluctuation, “...” Is set to have a higher selected ratio than “CHANCE”. In the second variation, the ratio of selecting “CHANCE” is set higher than that in the first variation. In the third variation, “CHANCE” is set to have a higher selection ratio than “...”. Therefore, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of “pseudo-continuous 3 times”, “... “CHANCE” is easily selected in the third variation. As shown in (C), in the sixth notice message batch determination table 203F, the ratio at which “...” Is selected is higher than that in the third notice message batch determination table 203C at the time of a big hit.

In the thirteenth notice step batch determination table 209E, for the first change, one of the notice steps “None”, “Step A”, and “Step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. It is set to do so. In addition, for the second variation, a setting is made such that either the “step A” or the “step B” is selected based on the extracted value of the random number SR9. In the first variation, “step C” is not selected, and the ratio to be selected is set in a relationship of “none”> “step A”> “step B”. In the second variation, “None” and “Step C” are not selected, and the ratio of “Step A”> “Step B” is set. Therefore, in the case of the “pseudo-continuous twice” variation pattern, “none” is most easily selected in the first variation, and “step A” is most easily selected in the second variation. In the thirteenth notice step collective decision table 209E, the numerical data of SR9 is set so that the ratio at which “none” is selected is higher than that in the tenth notice step collective decision table 209B in the case of a big hit.

Using the single data table set as described above, the decision is made collectively and the decided notice pattern is stored.

  Next, with respect to the notice pattern of the movable member notice, the form of the notice pattern (movable member operation) for each variable time of the pseudo-series is summarized by one data table for each variable time, similarly to the button notice etc. described above. An example of determining all at once will be described.

  For the movable member notice, as in the case of the button notice, for example, as shown in (A) to (C) of FIG. 132, the notice selection table is divided into a big hit time, a reach off time, and a non-reach off time.

Provide a batch decision table. As a configuration example of such a movable member operation batch determination table, for example, in FIG. 133 (A) to (C) and FIG. 134 (A) to (E), for example, “first message” is changed to “first movable”. “Member movement”, “Second message” are replaced with “Second movable member movement”, “Third message” are replaced with “Third movable member movement”, and “...” are replaced with “Moving member movement A”, “CHANCE”. "Movable member operation B", "FEVER" is replaced with "movable member operation C", and "SR8" is replaced with "SR15". In addition, it is assumed that the ratio of the numerical value “SR15” to the movable member operations A to C in each movable member operation batch determination table is similar to that in FIGS. 132 and 133. Then, as a process of selecting and determining the movable member operation using such a movable member operation batch determination table and the movable member operation determination random number SR15 of the movable member notification, the aforementioned button notification notification message is selected and determined. By performing the same processing as the processing to be performed, the mode of the notice pattern (movable member operation) is collectively determined by one data table for each variable time.

  Next, with regard to the notice pattern of the mini character notice, the form of the notice pattern (mini character display) for each fluctuating time of the pseudo-ream is summarized in a single data table for each fluctuating time in the same manner as the button notice etc. described above.

Set up a table. As a configuration example of such a mini character display batch determination table, for example, in FIG. 133 (A) to (C) and FIG. 134 (A) to (E), for example, “first message” is changed to “first mini character display”. "," Second Message "is replaced with" Second Mini Character Display "," Third Message "is replaced with" Third Mini Character Display "," ... "is replaced with" Mini Character Display A ", and" CHANCE "is displayed with" Mini Character Display ". “B” and “FEVER” are replaced with “mini character display C”, respectively, and “SR8” is replaced with “SR17”. In addition, it is assumed that the allocation ratio of the numerical value “SR17” to the mini character displays A to C in each mini character display batch determination table is similar to that in FIGS. 132 and 133. Then, using such a mini character display batch determination table and the random character SR17 for determining the mini character display for the mini character notice, the process for selecting and determining the mini character display is the same as the process for selecting and determining the notice message of the button notice described above. By performing the above process, the mode of the notice pattern (mini character display) is collectively determined by one data table for each variable time.

  In such a third embodiment, at the time of each variation of the pseudo-series, the mode of the notice pattern is collectively selected for each variation time and selected and determined collectively by one data table, so that an individual data table for each variation time is obtained. As compared with the case of selecting and determining using, it is possible to reduce the number of processes required for selecting and determining the mode of the notice pattern. Thereby, the processing burden of the production control microcomputer 100 can be reduced.

  And since the notice pattern of the first step-up notice and the notice pattern of the second step-up notice are determined at the same time, the processes in S543 to S547 shown in the first embodiment are not performed.

  Further, in the third embodiment, with regard to the first step-up notice, the basic development notice is used as a representative example, and at the time of each variation of the pseudo-series, the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are notice patterns (notice steps). In the above description, the example in which each variation time is collectively determined by one data table has been described. Similarly, for the reach branch notice and the button branch notice, the notice pattern at the time of each change of the quasi-continuous is also shown. Each variable time is determined using a data table for determining a notice pattern, which is determined collectively by one data table.

  Next, with regard to the notice pattern of the reach branch notice, in the same manner as the basic development notice described above, the manner of the notice pattern (notice step) of the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice for each fluctuation of the pseudo-ream An example will be described in which each variation is collectively determined by one data table. As for the reach branch notice, as in the case of the basic development notice, for example, as shown in (D) to (E) of FIG. 140, the notice selection table is divided into a big hit, a reach outage, and a non-reach outage. Is provided. As in the case of the basic advance notice, the multiple notice step collective decision table used when the variable display result is a big hit has the same configuration as the plural notice step collective decision table shown in FIGS. 141 and 142. A plurality of SRs “Step 1”, “Step 2”, “Step 3A”, and “Step 3B” can be selected in accordance with the number of pseudo-series fluctuations at a rate as shown in the first embodiment. A notice step batch decision table is provided, and a notice pattern is decided according to the extracted value of the random value SR21 by executing the same processing as in the case of the basic advance notice.

  Next, regarding the notice pattern of the button branch notice, the notice pattern (notice step) of the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice for each change of the pseudo-ream, as in the basic development notice described above. An example will be described in which each variation is collectively determined by one data table. As for the button branch notice, as in the case of the basic development notice, for example, as shown in (D) to (E) of FIG. 140, the notice selection table is divided into a big hit time, a reach off time, and a non-reach off time. Is provided. As in the case of the basic advance notice, the multiple notice step collective decision table used when the variable display result is a big hit has the same configuration as the plural notice step collective decision table shown in FIGS. 141 and 142. A plurality of preliminary announcement step batch determination tables are provided so that “step 1”, “step 2”, and “button branch” can be selected in accordance with the number of pseudo-series fluctuations at the rate shown in the first embodiment. By executing the same process as in the case of the basic advance notice, the notice pattern is determined according to the extracted value of the random value SR22. In addition, regarding the button branch notice, a separate data table for selecting and determining the notice contents as described above is provided when “button branch” is selected, and the notice as described above is provided when “button branch” is selected. The notice content is determined by performing processing for determining the content.

  In the fourth embodiment, an example is shown in which the second step-up notice is executed only when it is determined to execute the first step-up notice. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second step-up notice may be executed when it is determined to execute the button notice. In this case, the second step-up advance notice is used as the data table for determining the second step-up notice by using only the data relating to the second step-up notice in the multiple notice step collective decision table described above. The advance step may be determined, or an advance step determination table for the second step-up notification may be provided separately to determine the advance step of the second step-up notification.

  Further, as in the first embodiment, whether or not to execute the second step-up notice may be selected and determined separately from whether or not the first step-up notice is executed. In this case, when it is decided to execute the first step-up advance notice, the first step-up advance notice is also used as described above by using the multiple notice step batch determination table as described above. And each notice step of the 2nd step-up notice is decided collectively. On the other hand, when it is determined not to execute the first step-up notice, whether or not the second step-up notice is executed based on the selection determination result as to whether or not to execute the second step-up notice. To decide. In this way, it is possible to execute only the second step-up notice and to execute the button notice and the second step-up notice in parallel.

  Further, as in the first embodiment, the selection determination as to whether or not to execute the first step-up notice and the selection determination as to whether or not to execute the second step-up notice are performed separately, and the determination results are obtained. Based on this, when it is decided to execute the first step-up notice and it is decided to execute the second step-up notice, the first step is performed using the multiple notice step collective decision table as described above. The notice steps of the up notice and the second step up notice may be determined collectively. In that case, when it is decided to execute only one of the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, it is decided to execute from the plural notice step batch determination table described above. The step-up advance notice step may be determined by using only the data related to the step-up notice of the person who has been assigned. The notice step may be determined.

  In the fourth embodiment, the color reliability display effect and the pattern reliability display effect as shown in the first embodiment are similarly performed. As for each of the color reliability display and the pattern reliability display, as shown in the first embodiment, the reliability display modes (first color display to third color display, first pattern display) at the time of each variation of the pseudo-series. To the third pattern display) may be determined using a plurality of data tables for determining the reliability display provided for each variation, and the reliability display mode is a notice pattern in the third embodiment. As in the case of determination of the mode, at the time of each variation of the pseudo-continuous, each variation time may be collectively determined by one data table.

  The button notice may be performed at the same time as the second step-up notice. Therefore, as with the button advance notice, as in the case of the first step-up notice, the state of the notice pattern (notice step) for the button notice and the second step-up notice is changed for each change time at each change of the pseudo-series. A single data table may be used to determine all at once.

  In the fourth embodiment, as in the case of the third embodiment, at the time of each variation of the pseudo-series, the mode of the notice pattern is collectively selected and determined by one data table for each variation time. As a result, the number of processes required to select and determine the mode of the notice pattern can be reduced as compared with the case of selecting and determining each variable time using an individual data table. Furthermore, the notice pattern can be determined collectively for both the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice. Thereby, the processing burden of the production control microcomputer 100 can be reduced.

[Fifth Embodiment]
Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. In the fifth embodiment, the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice as shown in FIG. 68 will be described with the same switching timing of the step-up notice step in each fluctuating variable time. .

  FIG. 143 is a timing chart showing a relationship between the first notice effect and the second notice effect when pseudo-variable display is performed according to the fifth embodiment. In FIG. 143, items (A) and (B) show the states of items similar to those in FIG.

  The timing chart of FIG. 143 is different from that of FIG. 68 in the step-up effect switching timing at each fluctuating time as shown in (A) and (B). In this embodiment, the switching timing from the first step S1 to the second step S2 in the first step-up notice is the same as the switching timing from the first step S1 to the second step S2 in the second step-up notice. It is set to become. Also, the switching timing from the second step S2 to the third step of the first step-up notice and the switching timing from the second step S2 to the third step S3 of the second step-up notice are set to be the same timing. Has been.

  For the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, either the switching timing from the first step S1 to the second step S2 or the switching timing from the second step S2 to the third step S3 is selected. Only the timing may be the same timing.

[Sixth Embodiment]
Next, a sixth embodiment will be described. In the sixth embodiment, an example will be described in which the first notice effect is set so that notice patterns are selected at different rates in the probability variation state and the non-probability variation state.

  FIG. 144 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200A according to the sixth embodiment. The first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200A is provided instead of the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200 according to the first embodiment.

  The first advance notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200A according to the sixth embodiment is different from the first advance notice effect notice pattern type determination table 200 according to the first embodiment in that the notice effect is divided into an uncertain change state and a probable change state. The type determination ratio is set.

  In the first announcement effect notice pattern type determination table 200A, “no first notice effect”, “button notice”, and “first step” in each of the non-reach deviation variation pattern, the reach deviation variation pattern, and the big hit variation pattern. The allocation for each selection item of “up notice” is set to be different depending on whether the gaming state is a non-probable change state or the gaming state is a probable change state.

  Specifically, in the setting of the first announcement effect notice pattern type determination table 200, a random number corresponding to each selection item is set so that the proportion of no announcement effect is higher in the probability variation state than in the non-probability variation state. SR7 allocation is set. In addition, the random number SR7 is assigned in such a way that the ratio of selecting the button notice is lower in the probability change state and the ratio in which the first step-up notice is selected is higher than in the non-probability state. ing. Thereby, the respective notice patterns of the button notice and the first step-up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice) are selected at different rates in the non-probable state and the probable state.

  In addition, the first step-up notice content determination table as shown in FIG. 73 is also similar to the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table in FIG. In each of the variation patterns, the allocation for each of the selection items of “basic development advance notice”, “reach branch notice”, and “button branch notice” is changed when the gaming state is indeterminate and when the gaming state is uncertain. It may be set differently depending on the state. For example, in the probability variation state, the ratio of the “basic advance notice” is selected to be lower and the ratio of “button branch notice” is selected to be higher than in the non-probability condition. Allocation may be set. Conversely, the probability that the “button branch notice” is selected in the probability variation state is lower and the ratio that the “basic development notice” is selected is higher than that in the non-probability state. The allocation of the random number SR20 may be set. Furthermore, in each of the “basic development advance notice”, “reach branch notice”, and “button branch notice”, the selection ratio of the notice steps selected and determined by the notice step decision table is in the probabilistic state and the non-probable state. And may be different. For example, when the probability variation state is higher than the non-probability variation state, the rate at which the step-up to the notification step having a high jackpot reliability is selected is increased in the notification step determination table. Conversely, in the predictive step determination table, the rate at which step-up to the advance step with a low jackpot reliability is selected may be made higher in the predictive step than in the non-predictable state. .

  As in the sixth embodiment, when the allocation for each selection item of “no first notice effect”, “button notice”, and “first step up notice” is in a non-probable change state, For example, as shown below, a table that determines the notice message for button notice depending on whether it is in the non-probable state or in the probable state as follows: The table for determining the notice step of the first step-up notice may be used properly.

  For example, as the table for determining the notice message for button notice, the notice message table shown in the first embodiment and the third embodiment described above is selected so that the notice message with high reliability of the jackpot can be easily selected. There are two types of tables: a table for probability change state with data set and a table for non-probability change state with data set so that messages with low reliability of jackpots can be easily selected. Accordingly, the table for the probability variation state and the table for the non-probability variation state are selectively used. On the other hand, as a table for determining the notice message of the button notice, a table for probability change state in which data is set so that a notice message having a high jackpot reliability is difficult to select and a notice with a high jackpot reliability are provided. Prepare two types of table for non-probability change state in which data is set so that messages can be easily selected. You may make it use properly.

  In addition, as a table for determining the notice step of the first step-up notice, a table for probability change state in which data is set so that a notice step having a high jackpot reliability is easily selected and a notice having a high jackpot reliability are provided. Prepare two types of table for non-probability change state in which data is set so that it is difficult to select a step. Depending on whether or not it is in the probability change state, a table for probability change state and a table for non-probability change state Use them properly. On the other hand, as a table for determining the notice step of the first step-up notice, the table for the probability change state in which data is set so that the notice step with high reliability of the jackpot is not easily selected, and the reliability of the jackpot Two types of tables with non-probability change states with data set so that a high-priority notice step can be easily selected are selected. You may make it use a table separately.

  Incidentally, not only the first notice effect but also the second notice effect, the allocation for each of the selection items of “no second notice effect” and “second step-up notice” as shown in FIG. Different settings may be made for the non-probability change state and the probability change state. In this case, for example, as described below, a table for determining the notice step of the second step-up notice may be used depending on whether the state is in the non-probability change state or the probability change state. As a table for determining the notice step of the second step-up notice, there are a table for probability change state in which data is set so that a notice step having a high jackpot reliability is easily selected, and a notice step having a high jackpot reliability. Prepare two types of table for non-probability change state in which data is set so that it is difficult to select, so that the table for probability change state and the table for non-probability change state are used properly depending on whether or not it is in the probability change state. To. On the other hand, as a table for determining the advance step of the second step-up advance notice, a table for probability variation state in which data is set so that the advance notice step having a high jackpot reliability is difficult to select, and the reliability of the jackpot Two types of tables with non-probability change states with data set so that a high-priority notice step can be selected easily are prepared. Depending on whether or not there is a probability change state, a table for probability change states and a table for non-probability change states You may make it use a table separately.

  It should be noted that not only the first notice effect but also the third notice effect, the allocation for each selection item of “no third notice effect” and “movable member notice” as shown in FIG. It may be set differently depending on whether it is a state or a state of probability variation. In this case, for example, as described below, a table for determining the movable member operation of the movable member notice may be used depending on whether the state is in the non-probability variation state or the probability variation state. As a table for determining the movable member motion of the movable member notice, the table for the probability change state in which data is set so that the movable member motion with high reliability of the big hit can be easily selected, and the movable member operation with high reliability of the big hit 2 types of tables for non-probability change states in which data is set so that it is difficult to select them, and the table for probability change states and the table for non-probability change states are used properly depending on whether or not they are in the probability change state Like that. On the other hand, as the table for determining the movable member operation for the movable member notice, the table for the probability change state in which data is set so that the movable member operation having high reliability of the big hit is difficult to select, and the reliability of the big hit There are two types, a table for the non-probability state with data set so that the movement of a movable member with a high value can be easily selected. It may be possible to use different tables.

  Further, not only for the first notice effect but also for the fourth notice effect, the allocation for each selection item of “No fourth notice effect” and “Mini character notice” as shown in FIG. It may be set differently when it is and when it is in the state of probability variation. In this case, for example, as shown below, a table for determining mini character display for mini character notice may be used depending on whether the state is in the non-probability change state or the probability change state. As a table for determining the mini character display of the mini character notice, it is difficult to select the table for the probabilistic state in which data is set so that the mini character display with high reliability of the big hit is easily selected and the mini character display with high reliability of the big hit. In this way, two types of tables for the non-probability change state in which data is set are prepared, and the table for the probability change state and the table for the non-probability change state are selectively used depending on whether or not the state is the probability change state. On the other hand, as the table for determining the mini character display of the mini character notice, the table for the probabilistic state in which data is set so that the mini character display with high reliability of the big hit is difficult to select and the mini character with high reliability of the big hit are displayed. Prepare two types of table for non-probability change state with data set so that the display can be easily selected. Depending on whether or not it is in the probability change state, the table for probability change state and the table for non-probability change state You may make it use properly.

  Further, not only for the first notice effect but also for the fifth notice effect, the allocation for each selection item of “No fifth notice effect” and “Group notice” as shown in FIG. It may be set differently when it is and when it is in the state of probability variation. In this case, for example, as described below, a table for determining the group display of the group notice may be used depending on whether the state is in the non-probability change state or the probability change state. As a table for determining the group display of the group notice, it is difficult to select a table for probability change state in which data is set so that a group display with high reliability of the big hit and a group display with high reliability of the big hit are selected. In this way, two types of tables for the non-probability change state in which data is set are prepared, and the table for the probability change state and the table for the non-probability change state are selectively used depending on whether or not the state is the probability change state. Conversely, as the table for determining the group display of the group notice, a table for probability variation state in which data is set so that a group display with a high jackpot reliability is difficult to select and a group with a high jackpot reliability are set. Prepare two types of table for non-probability change state with data set so that the display can be easily selected. Depending on whether or not it is in the probability change state, the table for probability change state and the table for non-probability change state You may make it use properly.

  As described above, the respective notice patterns of the button notice and the first step-up notice are set so as to be selected at different ratios between the non-probable change state and the probable change state. When selecting a notice effect form from a plurality of kinds of notice effect forms, the notice effect form is selected at different selection ratios in the non-probable change state and the probability change state, and thus appears for a plurality of kinds of the notice effect forms. The proportion will vary depending on the state. Thereby, the interest of a game can be improved further.

  The following control may be performed. When there is a sudden change in the probability changing state, a notice is given using a table in which a notice pattern with high reliability of the jackpot (notice message, notice step, movable member operation, mini character display, group display) is easily selected. When such a notice is given, a non-probable variable symbol is displayed as a reach symbol. On the other hand, when it becomes uncertain in the non-probability changing state, the advance notice is performed using a table in which the advance notice pattern with high reliability of the big hit is not easily selected. If such control is performed, the player's expectation is enhanced by a notice with high reliability of the jackpot, and the player becomes unreliable by reaching a non-probable pattern, resulting in a probable state. Since the player can be satisfied as a result, the interest of the game can be further improved. In addition, when performing such control, a table for determining the notice pattern selection used only when there is a sudden change is provided, and when a sudden change occurs in the probability change state, the notice pattern is determined using the table. As described above, a notice pattern with high reliability of jackpot may be easily selected. In other words, depending on whether or not the accuracy change state occurs, a table dedicated to the accuracy is used when the accuracy changes in the accuracy variation state, and a table other than the table dedicated to the accuracy accuracy is used when the accuracy is in the non-accuracy variation state. The table for selecting the notice pattern may be used properly. For example, the normal table shown in each of the above-described embodiments is used for fluctuations other than the fluctuation when it becomes sudden, and a predetermined table for exclusive use for the suddenness is used for fluctuation when it becomes sudden.

[Seventh Embodiment]
Next, a seventh embodiment will be described. In the seventh embodiment, the button advance notice, the first step up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), the second step up notice (monitor notice), the movable member notice, the mini character notice, In addition, an example in which a notice effect such as a group notice is performed in a continuous notice over a plurality of fluctuation displays executed by a plurality of fluctuation patterns, instead of a pseudo-run performed in a fluctuation display executed by one fluctuation pattern. explain.

  Whether or not the continuous notice is data that will cause a variable display that is a big hit for each of the stored data by using a game control microcomputer (similar to the game control microcomputer 560 described above) in advance. Recognizing and based on the stored data, the microcomputer for effect control provides a continuous notice effect for notifying that a large number of variable displays are displayed before the display result of the variable display that is a big hit is derived and displayed. This is a notice effect executed by (similar to the aforementioned effect control microcomputer 100).

  Specifically, whether or not the game control microcomputer is a data to be displayed as a big hit for each of the stored storage data on the condition that the number of the stored storage data has reached a predetermined number or more Is determined in advance, and it is determined with a predetermined probability whether or not continuous notice is executed. In the determination, it is determined that the continuous notice is executed at a higher probability when there is stored storage data that is a big hit than when there is no stored storage data that is a big hit. When it is determined that the continuous notice is to be executed, the game control microcomputer transmits an effect control command indicating that the continuous notice is to be executed to the effect control microcomputer. In the effect control microcomputer, when the effect control command indicating that such continuous notice is executed is received, the button notice and the first step-up notice as shown in the first to sixth embodiments described above are provided. (Basic development advance notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), second step up notice (monitor notice), movable member notice, mini character notice, notice notice effect in the same manner as group notice (color reliability display and pattern trust) (Including the degree display) may be executed over a plurality of variable displays as a continuous notice. That is, based on a predetermined selection ratio determination condition such as the selection ratio of the notice effect set in each data table shown in FIG. 72 to FIG. A plurality of types of notice effects in each variable display when a notice effect such as advance notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), second step-up notice (monitor notice) is executed are selected at different ratios. . Similarly, for each of the color reliability display and the pattern reliability display, a predetermined selection ratio such as the selection ratio of the notice reliability display effect set in each data table shown in FIGS. 80 to 84 is determined. Based on conditions, button notice, first step up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), second step up notice (monitor notice), movable parts notice, mini character notice, group notice A plurality of types of notice reliability display effect modes in each variation display when such notice reliability display is executed are selected at different ratios.

  When the continuous notice is executed, the number of variable displays for which the continuous notice is performed may be set to a predetermined number, or may be set to a randomly determined number. Further, the determination as to whether or not to execute the continuous notice may be made by the effect control microcomputer, not by the game control microcomputer. In that case, whenever there is a start prize from the game control microcomputer, a hold memory command as an effect control command indicating whether or not the hold memory based on the start prize is a big hit is sent, Based on the on-hold storage command, the effect control microcomputer may determine whether to execute the continuous notice by making the same determination as the game control microcomputer as described above.

  Thus, in the continuous notice, the button notice, the first step-up notice (basic development notice, the reach branch notice, the button branch notice), the second step-up notice (monitor notice), the movable member notice, the mini character notice as described above. By performing group notice, it is possible to obtain the same effect as when these notices are given in a pseudo-continuous manner.

[Eighth Embodiment]
Next, an eighth embodiment will be described. In the eighth embodiment, other examples are shown for the basic advance notice effect, the monitor notice effect, the reach branch notice effect, the button branch notice effect, and the button operation promotion effect.

  FIG. 145 is a flowchart showing an example of the progress of the rendering operation when the preliminary announcement of the basic development announcement as the first step-up announcement according to the eighth embodiment is executed. The difference from the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 121 is that the basic development notice prohibition process (ST17a) is executed after the execution of step ST16b. In the basic development notice prohibition process, when the basic development notice effect and the second notice effect (monitor notice effect as the second step-up notice effect) proceed in parallel, the second step-up notice effect is the final step (first step). This is a process of ending the basic development notice effect when progressing to 3 steps), and the specific control content is shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 146, first, it is determined whether or not Step 2 (second step) of the basic advance notice effect is completed (ST17b). If step 2 of the basic advance notice effect is not completed, the basic advance notice effect prohibition process ends. However, if step 2 of the basic advance notice effect is completed, the second advance notice effect (second step up) It is determined whether or not the final step (step 3) of the monitor notice effect as a notice is being executed (ST17c). When the final step (step 3) has not been executed, the basic development advance notice prohibition process ends. However, when the final step (step 3) has been executed, control to end the basic advance notice is performed. (ST17d).

  If the final step (step 3) of the monitor advance notice effect has been executed as a result of the basic development notice effect prohibition process, step 3 is not executed at the stage when the step 2 of the basic advance notice effect is completed. The basic development notice effect ends. Thereby, the player's attention can be concentrated on the final step (step 3) of the monitor notice effect, and the effect can be prevented from becoming more complicated than necessary.

  Note that step ST17a in FIG. 145 may be executed in accordance with the result of lottery using random numbers. Specifically, numerical information updating means for updating numerical information (random number) is provided, and numerical information updated by the numerical information updating means is extracted, and whether the numerical information (random number) is a predetermined value or not. And step ST17a is executed on condition that the value is a predetermined value. Further, such prohibition processing is not limited to the basic development notice effect, but may be executed for, for example, reach branch notice or button branch notice.

  Next, a monitor notice effect as a second step-up notice in the eighth embodiment will be described based on FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 147, the difference from the monitor notice effect in the first embodiment is that the monitor notice effect start process is executed after step ST11 is executed (ST16F).

FIG. 148 shows the specific control contents of the monitor notice effect start process.
Referring to FIG. 148, first, it is determined whether or not a basic advance notice is executed (ST16G). When the basic advance notice is not executed, the monitor notice effect start process ends.

  On the other hand, when the basic advance notice is executed, control for delaying the start of the monitor notice effect by a predetermined time is performed (ST16H).

  As a result, when the basic advance notice effect and the monitor advance notice effect are executed in parallel, the monitor advance notice effect is started after a short delay after the basic advance notice effect is started. The variability in progress can be improved, and the interest can be improved.

  The control for delaying the start of the monitor notice effect in ST16H for a predetermined time may be executed according to the result of the lottery using random numbers. Specifically, numerical information updating means for updating the numerical information (random number) is provided, the numerical information updated by the numerical information updating means is extracted, and whether the numerical information (random number) is a predetermined value or not. The step ST16H is executed on condition that the value is a predetermined value.

  Next, the reach branch time selection table and the button branch time selection table used in the eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 149, both the reach branch time selection table and the button branch time selection table are combined into a reach / button branch time selection table. As a result, the common reach / button branch time selection table is used for both the selection of the effect mode of the reach branch notice and the selection of the effect mode of the button branch notice.

  Referring to FIG. 149, when the reach / button branch timing selection table is determined in advance to be different from the table (A) used when jackpot is determined in advance, A total of three types of tables are prepared, that is, the table (B) used in the above and the table (C) used in the case where it is determined in advance that there will be no reach and a deviation.

  SR24 is a random number for selecting a branch timing, and is counted up from 0 and counted up to 99 which is the upper limit thereof, and then counted up from 0 again. In the eighth embodiment, there are three types of notice effects, early branch, middle branch, and late branch, in addition to the reach branch notice effect and the button branch notice effect described in the first embodiment. For example, when step 3B is selected as the reach branch effect, there are three types of step 3B: early branch, middle branch, and late branch. Even when the button branch is selected, there are three types: early branch, middle branch, and late branch.

  And about the reach branch notice selected and determined using the various tables of FIGS. 85 to 87 in the first embodiment, further using the table shown in FIG. 149, among the three types of early branch, middle branch, and late branch Is selected and determined. The selection is determined according to the value of the branch time selection random number SR24.

  The reach branch notice selected and determined using the various tables in FIGS. 85 to 87 in the first embodiment is not limited to the method shown in the third embodiment, that is, the notice pattern at the time of each change of the pseudo-ream. In the method of collectively determining each variation time with one data table, the reach branch advance notice selected and determined is further used for early branch, middle branch, and late branch using the table shown in FIG. Any one of the three types may be selected and determined.

  In the three types of tables (A), (B), and (C) in FIG. 149, when the probability of selecting a branch at a later time has been determined in advance as a big hit, reach outage is determined in advance. In this case, the non-reach deviation is configured to increase in the order in which the deviation is determined in advance. As a result, in the reach branch notice effect and the button branch notice effect, the later the branch time, the higher the reliability for the big hit.

  In FIG. 149, the type of branch notice effect is divided into early branch, middle branch, and late branch, and the type is selected and determined. However, instead of the reach branch notice effect and the button branch notice effect determined using the various tables in FIGS. 85 to 87 and 88 to 99 or the method shown in the third embodiment, the selection decision is made. When the given branch notice effect is executed, the branching time may be controlled according to the early branch, middle branch, and late branch selected in the table of FIG. For example, when middle branch is selected, effect display control is performed to branch at the usual branch time, and when early branch is selected, effect display is performed to control branch slightly earlier than normal, and late branch is performed. When is selected, control is performed so as to perform an effect display that branches slightly later than usual.

  Further, depending on which step branches the reach branch notice effect and the button branch notice effect, the reliability for the big hit may be controlled to be different. For example, it is more reliable (or lower) to branch at the step 2 stage than branching from the step 1 stage, and to branch at the step 3 stage compared to branching from the step 2 stage. Is controlled so that the reliability becomes higher (or lower). Specifically, the probability that a branch from a later step will be selected is the order in which jackpot is pre-determined, out-of-reach is pre-determined, non-reach out is pre-determined. , Control to be high (or low).

  Next, a button operation promotion effect start time table used in the eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 150, when the button operation promotion effect start time table is pre-determined to be different from the table (A) used when the jackpot is pre-determined, A total of three types of tables are prepared, that is, the table (B) used in the above and the table (C) used in the case where it is determined in advance that there will be no reach and a deviation.

  SR25 is a random number for selecting the button operation promotion effect start time, and is counted up from 0 and counted up to 99 which is the upper limit thereof, and then counted up from 0 again. In the eighth embodiment, an example will be described in which the timing for starting the button operation promotion effect described in the first embodiment is selected from a plurality of timings. Specifically, an example in which three timings are selected from a first timing, a second timing later than the first timing, and a third timing later than the second timing will be described. Note that each of the first to third timings is set to a timing from the start of each variation in the quasi-continuation to the start of the reach effect. About the time to start the button operation promotion effect in the first embodiment, one of the three timings of the first to third timings is selected and determined using the table shown in FIG. The selection is determined according to the value of the button operation promotion effect start time selection random number SR25. Then, for example, after the process of ST11 of FIG. 120 is performed, the process of ST12 is performed when the time to start the determined button operation promotion effect is reached, so that the processes of FIGS. The button operation promotion effect can be started at the timing determined using the table.

  In the three types of tables (A), (B), and (C) of FIG. 150, when the probability that the latest third timing among the three timings is selected is a big hit, the reach is reached. When the loss is determined in advance, the non-reach shift is configured so as to increase in the order of determination. As a result, the later the start time of the button operation promotion effect, the higher the reliability for the big hit.

  It should be noted that the method shown in the third embodiment, that is, at the time of each variation of the pseudo-series, is not limited to the button notice selected and determined using the various tables of FIGS. 74, 76, and 77 in the first embodiment. The button operation promotion effect is started using the table shown in FIG. 150 for the button notice selected and determined by the method of collectively determining the mode of the notice pattern for each change time by one data table. One of the three timings of the first to third timings may be selected and determined.

Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
(1) As shown in S101 to S105 in FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a variation pattern of pseudo-continuous is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. As shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, when the first step-up notice is determined as the notice effect in the change display when the pseudo-variation change pattern is selected, the execution mode of the first step-up notice effect is: The execution mode is selected from a plurality of types of execution modes including the reach branch notice production mode such as the “Step 3A” and “Step 3B” notice steps. As a result, a step-up notice effect can be executed each time a variation display is performed for a plurality of variation displays in a pseudo-series, and therefore, in the variation display when a variation pattern of a pseudo-series is selected, a step is displayed when a certain variation is displayed. Even when the up-notice effect is finished, the step-up notice effect may be executed at the next re-variation display, so it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's expectation, and for a long time, Can expect a sense of expectation. Then, as shown in FIG. 66, the reach branch announcement effect mode is that the step-up mode is an execution mode such as the reach confirmation effect display in step 3A from the execution mode of the basic development notice, and the reach undecided effect in step 3B. The execution mode branches to a plurality of execution modes with the execution mode as shown. Further, as shown in FIG. 23 to FIG. 26, regarding the pseudo-continuous, the selection when the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-continuous variation number) is selected is determined to be a big hit. The number of times is set to be larger than when it is determined. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 72 and FIG. 73, when it is determined to be a big hit, the ratio of performing the reach branch notification as the first step-up notification is larger than when it is determined to be off. It is set to be. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether to execute the reach branch notice is selected at a different selection ratio according to the total number of re-changes. Thereby, the player's sense of expectation can be enhanced in accordance with the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the big hit gaming state by the effect of the reach branch notice. Furthermore, as for the first step-up notice effect, since the step-up mode is selected from a plurality of types of execution modes including a reach branch notice effect mode such as a “reach branch” notice step in which the step-up mode branches into a plurality of steps, The fun of the notice effect can be improved. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a re-variation display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of re-variation in the fluctuation pattern of a pseudo | simulation series, and the execution aspect selected. Suppressing such a decrease in the player's expectation, increasing the player's expectation with respect to the total number of re-changes in the re-change display, improving the fun of the notice effect by the branch notice effect mode, and By increasing the variation of the effect related to the re-variable display, it is possible to improve the interest of the effect related to the step-up notice and improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, for reach branch notices, the tables required for the notice effect at each stage change are selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (2 times, 3 times) as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, the table selected in accordance with the total number of fluctuations (two times and three times) of the pseudo-series has the selection ratio of the notice step including “step 3A” and “step 3B”. Different. Therefore, there are multiple types of notice effects for the reach branch notice depending on the total number of re-variations (variations including initial variation and subsequent re-variation during one variation period) executed in a pseudo-variable variation pattern. Are selected at different selection ratios. Accordingly, in response to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state, the player's expectation is enhanced by the execution mode of the notice effect of the reach branch notice. be able to. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected. In addition, the step-up notice effect is executed every time the change display is performed in the pseudo-continuous display, so that the step-up notice effect can be performed even when the reserved memory is not consumed. Thereby, the timing for performing the step-up notice effect is not restricted, and the step-up notice effect can be performed with the appearance rate as designed.

  (2) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a pseudo-variation variation pattern is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. As shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, when the first step-up notice is determined as the notice effect in the change display when the pseudo-variation change pattern is selected, the execution mode of the first step-up notice effect is: The execution mode is selected from a plurality of types of execution modes including the reach branch notice production mode such as the “Step 3A” and “Step 3B” notice steps. As a result, a step-up notice effect can be executed each time a variation display is performed for a plurality of variation displays in a pseudo-series. Therefore, in a variation display when a variation pattern of a pseudo-series is selected, a step is displayed when a certain variation is displayed. Even when the up-notice effect is finished, the step-up notice effect may be executed at the next re-variation display, so it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's expectation, and for a long time, Can expect a sense of expectation. Then, as shown in FIG. 66, the reach branch announcement effect mode is that the step-up mode is an execution mode such as the reach confirmation effect display in step 3A from the execution mode of the basic development notice, and the reach undecided effect in step 3B. The execution mode branches to a plurality of execution modes with the execution mode as shown. Further, as shown in FIG. 23 to FIG. 26, regarding the pseudo-continuous, the selection when the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-continuous variation number) is selected is determined to be a big hit. The number of times is set to be larger than when it is determined. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 72 and FIG. 73, when it is determined to be a big hit, the ratio of performing the reach branch notification as the first step-up notification is larger than when it is determined to be off. It is set to be. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether or not the reach branch notice is executed is selected at a different selection ratio depending on the notice effect in the number of re-variations. With this, regarding the re-variation display pattern that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control to the big hit gaming state by the effect of reach branch notice, it is the notice effect in the re-variation in the re-variation display pattern Based on the above, it is possible to increase the player's expectation. Furthermore, as for the first step-up notice effect, since the step-up mode is selected from a plurality of types of execution modes including a reach branch notice effect mode such as a “reach branch” notice step in which the step-up mode branches into a plurality of steps, The fun of the notice effect can be improved. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a re-variation display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of re-variation in the fluctuation pattern of a pseudo | simulation series, and the execution aspect selected. Suppressing such a decrease in the player's expectation, increasing the player's expectation with respect to the total number of re-changes in the re-change display, improving the fun of the notice effect by the branch notice effect mode, and By increasing the variation of the effect related to the re-variable display, it is possible to improve the interest of the effect related to the step-up notice and improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, for reach branch notices, the tables required for the notice effect at each stage change are selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (2 times, 3 times) as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, the table selected in accordance with the total number of fluctuations (two times and three times) of the pseudo-series has the selection ratio of the notice step including “step 3A” and “step 3B”. Different. Therefore, for the notice effect of the reach branch notice, the notice of re-change display of the number of re-changes (changes including the first change and the subsequent re-change during one change period) executed in the pseudo-ream fluctuation pattern. Based on whether it is a production, a plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios. Accordingly, in response to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state, the player's expectation is enhanced by the execution mode of the notice effect of the reach branch notice. be able to. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected. In addition, the step-up notice effect is executed every time the change display is performed in the pseudo-continuous display, so that the step-up notice effect can be performed even when the reserved memory is not consumed. Thereby, the timing for performing the step-up notice effect is not restricted, and the step-up notice effect can be performed with the appearance rate as designed.

  (3) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state, a variation pattern including a pseudo-variable variation pattern is selected. As shown in FIGS. 89 and 90, when the first step-up notice is determined as the notice effect in the change display when the pseudo-variation change pattern is selected, the execution mode of the first step-up notice effect is: It is selected from a plurality of types of execution modes including a button branch notification effect mode such as a “button branch” notification step. Then, as shown in FIG. 67, the button branch notice effect mode is an execution mode in which the notice step branches from the basic development notice execution mode to the button operation effect execution mode. As for the pseudo-ream, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, FIG. 28, and FIG. 29, it has been decided that the selection determination of the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-ream fluctuation number) is a big hit. The time is set so that the number of times is larger than when it is determined to be out of place. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 72 and FIG. 73, when it is determined to be a big hit, the ratio of performing the button branch notification as the first step-up notification is higher than when it is determined to be off. It is set to be. Therefore, when the variation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether or not to execute the button branch notice is selected at a different selection ratio according to the total number of re-variations. Thereby, the player's sense of expectation can be enhanced in accordance with the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state by the effect of button branch notice. In other words, the step of advancement from the step-up advance notice effect to the operation advance notice effect is performed. The state of step-up of the up-notice effect and the number of re-variations executed in the pseudo-continuous change pattern can be related by the effect mode of the notice branch, and the player's attention can be directed to the entire effect. In addition, when the notice step branches to the operation notice effect by the button branch notice in the variation display executed in the pseudo-variation variation pattern, the operation notice effect is executed in which the notice is executed on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated. Therefore, the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a re-variation display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of re-variation in the fluctuation pattern of a pseudo | simulation series, and the execution aspect selected. By increasing the player's attention to the entire production, increasing the player's willingness to participate, and increasing the variation of the production related to re-variable display, the performance of the production related to the pseudo-ream is improved. , You can improve the fun of the game. Furthermore, for button branch notices, the tables necessary for the notice effect at each stage change are selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (2 times, 3 times) as shown in FIGS. The tables selected according to the total number of fluctuations (two times and three times) of the pseudo-continuous are different in the selection ratio of the notice step including “button branch” as shown in FIGS. Therefore, there are multiple types of notice effects for the button branch notice depending on the total number of re-variations (variations including initial variation and subsequent re-variation during one variation period) executed in a pseudo-continuous variation pattern. Are selected at different selection ratios. Thereby, the player's expectation can be enhanced by the execution mode of the button branch notice corresponding to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. . Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected.

  (4) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state, a variation pattern including a pseudo-variable variation pattern is selected. As shown in FIGS. 89 and 90, when the first step-up notice is determined as the notice effect in the change display when the pseudo-variation change pattern is selected, the execution mode of the first step-up notice effect is: It is selected from a plurality of types of execution modes including a button branch notification effect mode such as a “button branch” notification step. As shown in FIG. 67, the effect mode of the button branch notice is an execution form in which the notice branches from an execution form of the basic development notice to an execution form such as a button operation effect. As for the pseudo-ream, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, FIG. 28, and FIG. 29, it has been decided that the selection determination of the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-ream fluctuation number) is a big hit. The time is set so that the number of times is larger than when it is determined to be out of place. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 72 and FIG. 73, when it is determined to be a big hit, the ratio of performing the button branch notification as the first step-up notification is higher than when it is determined to be off. It is set to be. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern is a pseudo-continuous change pattern, whether or not to execute the button branch notice is selected at a different selection ratio depending on the notice effect in the number of re-variations. By this, regarding the re-variation display pattern that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control to the big hit gaming state by the effect of the button branch notice, it is the notice effect in the re-variation in the re-variation display pattern Based on the above, it is possible to increase the player's expectation. In other words, by increasing the player's expectation based on whether or not the notice effect is performed in the notice branch effect form in which the specific step up notice is branched from the step up notice effect to the operation notice effect, The step-up notice effect step-up situation can be associated with the number of re-variations performed in the pseudo-continuous change pattern by the notice branch effect aspect, and the player's attention can be directed to the entire effect. . In addition, when the notice step branches to the operation notice effect by the button branch notice in the variation display executed in the pseudo-variation variation pattern, the operation notice effect is executed in which the notice is executed on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated. Therefore, the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a re-variation display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of re-variation in the fluctuation pattern of a pseudo | simulation series, and the execution aspect selected. By increasing the player's attention to the entire production, increasing the player's willingness to participate, and increasing the variation of the production related to re-variable display, the performance of the production related to the pseudo-ream is improved. , You can improve the fun of the game. Furthermore, for button branch notices, the tables necessary for the notice effect at each stage change are selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (2 times, 3 times) as shown in FIGS. The tables selected according to the total number of fluctuations (two times and three times) of the pseudo-continuous are different in the selection ratio of the notice step including “button branch” as shown in FIGS. Therefore, for the notice effect of the button branch notice, the notice in the re-change display of the number of re-changes (changes including the initial change and the subsequent re-change during one change period) executed in a pseudo-continuous change pattern. Based on whether it is a production, a plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios. Thereby, the player's expectation can be enhanced by the execution mode of the button branch notice corresponding to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. . Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, when not reaching, any of the non-reach variation pattern type determination tables 136A to 136C is selected in the processing of S100, and the processing of S101 and S102 The variation pattern type is determined in step S104. For example, after the variation pattern determination table including the variation pattern including “pseudo-continuous” is selected in step S103, the processing in steps S104 and S105 is executed. As described above, the determination of the variation display pattern type and the determination of the variation pattern are made differently depending on whether or not the decision to enter the reach state has been made, and the variation can be achieved without increasing the control burden. The number of types of patterns can be increased. In addition, by using a combination of the variation pattern type and the variation pattern, it is possible to realize various types of variation display patterns, and it is not necessary to store all the variation display patterns to be selected in the ROM. It is possible to prevent enlargement of an area for storing information related to display. In addition, even when the reach is not reached, re-variation by the pseudo-ream is executed, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved. In addition, since the means for determining the fluctuation pattern is divided into a means for determining the type of the fluctuation pattern and a means for selecting the fluctuation pattern, for example, the classification determination in the means for determining the type of the fluctuation pattern Design change to change the setting for determining the variation pattern is possible simply by changing the distribution of the variation display pattern selection in the means for selecting the variation pattern without changing the pattern, making it easier to change the design of the variation pattern can do.

  (6) As a variation pattern for performing re-variation, for example, as shown in Super PA 4-3 in FIG. 14 that performs variation display as shown in FIGS. 45 (D1) to (D5), the reach state is reached after temporary stop in re-variation. After the temporary stop in the re-variation, for example, the first re-variation pattern and the variation pattern of the special PG 1-3 in FIG. Because the second re-variation pattern which is a big hit after executing re-variation display in a part of the symbol display areas 9L, 9C and 9R on the "right" is included, Become rich. As a result, the re-variation effect can be given unexpectedness, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved.

  (7) When performing re-variation according to 520 in FIG. 109 and S845 in FIG. 117, as a notification effect, an upper effect LED 85a, a middle effect LED 85b, a lower effect LED 85c, and a movable effect as shown in FIGS. Since the notification effect is executed in the notification mode selected from the notification modes based on the patterns of the plurality of types of effects using the member 78, the re-variation display is performed by the combination of the re-change effect and the notification effect. The variation of the production can be made abundant, and the production concerning re-variation can be prevented from becoming monotonous.

  (8) As shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, for the group of non-reach PA1-5, super PA3-3, super PA3-6, and super PB3-3 that can be selected in the case of not hitting the jackpot, 68B, AC, BC, ABC in the group of Super PA4-3, Super PA4-6, Super PA5-3, Super PB4-3, Super PB5-3, and Special PG1-3 There is a high probability that a combination of re-variation effects in different modes will appear. Therefore, the combination of the selection of the notification mode in the notification effect regarding the re-variation and the reliability that becomes a big hit after the notification effect is executed can further enrich the variation of the effect when the re-change is performed. In addition, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game with respect to re-variation effects.

  (9) As shown in the seventh embodiment, based on the stored storage data, a notice is given that the display result of the variable display that is a big hit will be a big hit over a plurality of variable displays before the derived display is performed. With respect to the continuous notice effect, the following effects can be obtained by performing the same effect as the aforementioned step-up notice effect. As for the step-up notice effect in which the notice effect is performed by a plurality of notice steps, as shown in the tables (FIGS. 78 and 79) used for selecting the notice pattern of the step-up notice, the fluctuation determined to be controlled by the big hit The selection ratio of the notice effect mode differs depending on how many notices are displayed in the variable display in the plural variable displays before the display result of the display is derived and displayed. That is, based on a predetermined selection ratio determination condition, a plurality of types of notice effect modes in each variable display when the notice effect is executed are selected at different ratios. Thus, according to the execution mode of the step-up notice effect performed by a plurality of notice steps in response to whether it is a notice effect in a variation pattern that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot, Thus, it is possible to give the player a different sense of expectation in each variation in a plurality of variation displays, and to increase the player's expectation. In addition, since the step-up notice effect can be executed every time the variable display is performed, a plurality of fluctuations before the display result of the variable display based on the establishment of the start condition determined to be controlled to the big hit gaming state is derived and displayed. In the display, even when the step-up notice effect is finished at the time of a certain fluctuation display, the step-up notice effect may be executed at the time of the next fluctuation display, so it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's expectation, Can expect the player's expectation for a long time. Then, for each variation display of revariation executed in the revariation display pattern, a plurality of types of execution modes are selected at different selection proportions based on a predetermined selection proportion determination condition. Thus, in accordance with whether or not the notice effect is in a variable display pattern that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control to a specific gaming state, the notice effect according to the execution mode of the notice effect by the plural steps of notice is like this. Thus, the player can be given a different sense of expectation in each variation in a plurality of variation displays, and the player's sense of expectation can be enhanced by the execution mode of the notice effect by the plurality of notice steps. Furthermore, as for the step-up notice effect, the execution form is selected from a plurality of types of execution forms including the branch notice effect form in which the step-up form branches into a plurality, so that the fun of the notice effect can be improved. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding multiple times of variable display is increased by the relevance with the number of times of the variable display when performing the announcement effect over the multiple times of variable display in continuous notice, and the announcement effect mode selected. be able to. By giving the player a different sense of expectation in each variation in such multiple variation displays, and increasing the variation of the representation related to multiple variation displays, the effect of the representation related to multiple variation displays Can improve the interest of the game. In addition, a step-up notice effect to be executed is selected from a plurality of step-up notice effects, and the multi-step step-up notice effect is selected depending on how many notices are displayed in the variable display. In addition, since a plurality of types of notice effects are selected at different selection ratios, there is a possibility that other notice effects may continue even if a certain notice effect is ended among a plurality of step-up notice effects. . As a result, when a certain step-up notice effect ends in the middle of multiple variable displays (when it is interrupted), there may be a situation in which other notice effects continue, so the player's interest is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the production time of the variable display from being wasted.

  (10) Like the button branch notice effect that develops in two steps shown as a modification in each of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, an operation notice effect is generated in response to the selection of the notice branch effect aspect. After the execution, a special operation advance notice effect is executed to execute a special advance notice on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated, so that the player's willingness to participate in the game can be further increased. , The interest of the game can be further improved.

  (11) For each notice effect of button notice, first step up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), second step up notice, movable member notice, and mini character notice, see FIG. S1705, S1715, S1719, S547, S552, S557 in FIG. 112, S1705, S1710, S1715, S1719 in FIG. 131 and S547a, S552a, S557a in FIG. , Reach branch notice, button branch notice), second step-up notice, movable member notice, and mini-character notice notices are prohibited from selecting a notice pattern with lower reliability than the notice pattern of the previous variation display. The prohibition process is executed in FIG. 538, S547, S552, S557 in FIG. 112, S538a in FIG. 129, and S547a, S552a, S557a in FIG. 130, a prohibition process is executed to prohibit selection of a notice pattern with lower reliability than the notice pattern of the previous variable display. As shown in the figure, when the notice pattern of the notice effect is selected, the notice pattern selected later is more likely to be a big hit after the notice effect is executed than the notice pattern selected before. The notice pattern is selected so that the reliability becomes lower. As a result, despite the fact that the player's expectation has been enhanced by executing the re-variation of the pseudo-ream, the degree of reliability for the big hit by the pre-announcement effect is realized by the effect mode of the notification effect performed in the re-variation of the pseudo-ream. It is possible to prevent the player from giving an impression that the game will decrease.

  (12) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, based on the determination as to whether or not to control to the big hit gaming state, a variation pattern including a pseudo-variable variation pattern is selected. When the execution of the fifth notice effect (group notice) is selected in the fluctuation display when the pseudo-variation fluctuation pattern is selected, the reach state is entered during the fluctuation display as shown in FIG. 71 (H). After that, the notice effect is started with the selected notice pattern (group display). The execution mode of such a notice effect is selected at a different selection ratio according to the number of re-variations executed in the re-variable display pattern. For example, as shown in S101 to S105 in FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a variation pattern of pseudo-continuous is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. As for the pseudo-ream, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, 28, and 29, it has been determined that the selection determination of the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-ream fluctuation number) is a big hit. The time is set so that the number of times is larger than when it is determined to be out of place. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 104, when it is determined that the big hit is determined, the ratio of performing the group notice as the fifth notice effect is set to be larger than when the decision is made to be off. ing. Therefore, when the variation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether or not to execute the group notice is selected at a different selection ratio according to the total number of re-variations. In addition, for the group notice, a table necessary for the notice effect at the change of each stage is selected according to the total number of fluctuations (2 times, 3 times) of the pseudo-series in FIGS. 104 (A) and 104 (B). As shown in 105, the selection ratio of the notice pattern (group display A to C) is different in the table selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (two times and three times). Therefore, for the notice effect of group notice, the number of re-variations (variations including the initial variation and the subsequent re-variation during one variation period) executed in a pseudo-continuous variation pattern (for example, the total number of re-variations) ), A plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios. Accordingly, in response to the number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state, the player's expectation is given by the execution mode of the notice effect that starts after reaching the reach state. Can be increased. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected. By increasing the player's expectation for the number of re-variations in such re-variable display, and increasing the variation of effects related to re-variable display, it is possible to improve the fun of the effects related to re-variable display. Interest can be improved.

  (13) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state, a fluctuation pattern including a pseudo-continuous fluctuation pattern is selected. As for the pseudo-ream, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, FIG. 28, and FIG. 29, it has been decided that the selection determination of the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-ream fluctuation number) is a big hit. The time is set so that the number of times is larger than when it is determined to be out of place. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 96, when it is determined that the big hit is determined, the ratio of performing the movable member notification as the third notification effect is set to be higher than when the determination is made that the loss is made. Has been. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether or not the movable member notice is executed is selected at a different selection ratio in accordance with the total number of re-changes. As a result, the player's expectation can be enhanced in accordance with the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state by the third notice effect. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a re-variation display can be increased with the relevance of the frequency | count of the re-variation in a re-variation display pattern, and the notification effect which operates a movable member. By increasing the player's expectation for the number of re-variations in such re-variable display, and increasing the variation of effects related to re-variable display, it is possible to improve the fun of the effects related to re-variable display. Interest can be improved. Furthermore, for the third notice effect, a table necessary for the notice effect at each stage change is selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (two times and three times) as shown in FIGS. 97 (A) to (C). The tables selected according to the total number of fluctuations (2 times, 3 times) of the pseudo-continuous are different in the selection ratio of the movable member operations A to C as shown in FIGS. Therefore, there are multiple types of notice effects for the movable member notice depending on the total number of re-changes (changes including initial change and subsequent re-change during one change period) executed in a pseudo-continuous change pattern. Are selected at different selection ratios. Thus, in response to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state, the player's expectation is enhanced by the execution mode of the notice effect that operates the movable member can do. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected.

  (14) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a variation pattern of pseudo-continuous is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. As for the pseudo-ream, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, FIG. 28, and FIG. 29, it has been decided that the selection determination of the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-ream fluctuation number) is a big hit. The time is set so that the number of times is larger than when it is determined to be out of place. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 96, when it is determined that the big hit is determined, the ratio of performing the movable member notification as the third notification effect is set to be higher than when the determination is made that the loss is made. Has been. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether or not to execute the movable member notice is selected at a different selection ratio depending on the notice effect in the re-change of the number of times. As a result, regarding the re-variation display pattern that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state by the third notice effect, the number of re-changes in the re-change display pattern is the notice effect in the re-change. Based on this, it is possible to increase the player's expectation. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a re-variation display can be increased with the relevance of the frequency | count of the re-variation in a re-variation display pattern, and the notification effect which operates a movable member. By increasing the player's expectation for the number of re-variations in such re-variable display, and increasing the variation of effects related to re-variable display, it is possible to improve the fun of the effects related to re-variable display. Interest can be improved. Furthermore, for the third notice effect, a table necessary for the notice effect at the corresponding stage of change is selected in (A) to (C) in FIG. As shown in FIG. 98 and FIG. 99, the selection ratios of the movable member operations A to C are different for each fluctuation time in the table selected according to the total number of fluctuations (two times and three times) of the pseudo-series. Therefore, for the notice effect of the movable member notice, the notice in the re-change display of the number of re-changes (changes including the first change and the subsequent re-change during one change period) executed in a pseudo-continuous change pattern. Based on whether it is a production, a plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios. As a result, the player can be given a different sense of expectation in each re-variation in the re-variation display, and the player's expectation can be enhanced, depending on the execution mode of the notice effect that operates the movable member. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected.

  (15) As shown in FIG. 70, a mini-character notice that displays a character image 94 with lower visibility than the effect symbol is performed, so that the notice effect cannot be recognized unless the player pays considerable attention. As a result, the notice effect is varied and the player is less tired. As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a pseudo-variable variation pattern is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. As for the pseudo-ream, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, FIG. 28, and FIG. 29, it has been decided that the selection determination of the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-ream fluctuation number) is a big hit. The time is set so that the number of times is larger than when it is determined to be out of place. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 100, when it is determined to be a big hit, a character image 94 having a lower visibility than the effect symbol is displayed as the fourth notice effect as compared to when it is determined to be off. It is set to increase the proportion of mini-character notices to be performed. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether or not to execute the mini character notice is selected at a different selection ratio according to the total number of re-changes. Thereby, the player's sense of expectation can be enhanced by the fourth notice effect corresponding to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state. Furthermore, the variation of the effect regarding the re-variable display can be increased by the relevance between the number of re-variations in the re-variable display pattern and the notice effect for displaying the mini character image. In this way, the announcement effect is rich in changes, making it difficult for the player to get bored, increasing the player's expectation for the number of re-variations in the re-variable display, and increasing variations in the re-variable display By doing so, it is possible to improve the fun of the effects related to the re-variable display and to improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, for the fourth notice effect, a table required for the notice effect at each stage change is selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (two times and three times) as shown in FIGS. 101 (A) to 101 (C). The tables selected according to the total number of fluctuations (two times and three times) of the pseudo-series differ in the selection ratio of the mini character displays A to C as shown in FIGS. Therefore, with regard to the notice effect of the mini character notice, there are a plurality of types according to the total number of re-changes (changes including the initial change and the subsequent re-change during one change period) executed in the pseudo-change pattern. The notice pattern is selected at a different selection ratio. Accordingly, in response to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state, the player's expectation is enhanced by the execution mode of the notice effect that displays the mini character image. can do. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected.

  (16) As shown in FIG. 70, a mini-character notice that displays a character image 94 with lower visibility than the effect symbol is performed, so that the notice effect cannot be recognized unless the player pays considerable attention. As a result, the notice effect is varied and the player is less tired. As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a pseudo-variable variation pattern is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. As for the pseudo-ream, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, FIG. 28, and FIG. 29, it has been decided that the selection determination of the re-variation repeated execution number (pseudo-ream fluctuation number) is a big hit. The time is set so that the number of times is larger than when it is determined to be out of place. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 100, when it is determined to be a big hit, a character image 94 having a lower visibility than the effect symbol is displayed as the fourth notice effect as compared to when it is determined to be off. It is set to increase the proportion of mini-character notices to be performed. Therefore, when the variation pattern is a pseudo-continuous pattern, whether or not to execute the mini-character notice is selected at a different selection ratio depending on the notice effect in the number of re-variations. As a result, regarding the re-variation display pattern that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state by the fourth notice effect, the number of re-changes in the re-variable display pattern is the notice effect in the re-change. Based on this, a different expectation can be given to the player in each re-variation in the re-variation display, and the player's expectation can be enhanced. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a re-variation display can be increased by the relevance with the number of times of the re-variation in a re-variation display pattern, and the notice effect which displays the image of a mini character notice. In this way, the announcement effect is rich in changes, making it difficult for the player to get bored, increasing the player's expectation for the number of re-variations in the re-variable display, and increasing variations in the re-variable display By doing so, it is possible to improve the fun of the effects related to the re-variable display and to improve the interest of the game. Further, for the fourth notice effect, the tables necessary for the notice effect at the corresponding stage of variation in FIGS. 101 (A) to (C) are selected, and the total variation of the pseudo-series as shown in FIGS. 102 and 103. In the table selected according to the number of times (2 times, 3 times), the selection ratio of the mini character displays A to C is different for each fluctuation time. Therefore, for the notice effect of the mini character notice, the notice effect in the re-change display of the number of re-changes (changes including the first change and the subsequent re-change during one change period) executed in the pseudo-continuous change pattern. On the basis of whether or not, a plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios. As a result, the player can be given a different sense of expectation in each re-variation in the re-variation display by the execution mode of the notice effect that displays the mini character image, and the player's expectation can be enhanced. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a revariable display can be increased with the relationship between the frequency | count of the revariation in a revariable display pattern like a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected.

  (17) As shown in (H) of FIG. 71, the fifth notice effect (group display) is executed by displaying the same type of character image 94 on the effect display device 9. In FIGS. 106 (A) to (I), when the big hit is made, the group display C and the group display D> the group display B> the group display A are in the order of the number of character images to be displayed. As shown in the order of display A> group display B> group display C and group display D, the percentage of selection is high. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize the reliability of the big hit gaming state in an easy-to-understand manner such as the number of character images 94.

  (18) As shown in (G) and (H) of FIG. 71 and S843g to S8431 of FIG. 117, the fifth notice effect (group notice) is executed on condition that the operation button 30 is operated. Therefore, the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  (19) In the first embodiment, as described as a modification example of the movable member notice, in the movable member including a plurality of movable members (movable members such as small movable parts), a plurality of notices having different movable bodies to be operated. It is executed in the pattern (movable member operation A to movable member operation C), and the reliability of the big hit gaming state after execution is different according to the notice pattern, so it is easy to understand which movable body operates. It is possible to make the player recognize the reliability of the big hit gaming state. Moreover, you may make it use the several movable member provided independently separately for a movable member member notice. In that case, control is performed such that the first movable member is operated by the movable member operation A, the second movable member is operated by the movable member operation B, and the third movable member is operated by the movable member operation C.

  (20) As shown in FIG. 69, the movable member 84 is operated in any one of the movable member operations A to C which are a plurality of types of notice effect modes having different operation modes (for example, operation speed). Since the third notice effect (movable member notice) is executed in a plurality of kinds of notice effect forms in which the operation modes of the movable member 84 are different, variations of the effect relating to the re-variable display can be varied, and the entertainment of the game Can be improved. The notice effect mode with different operation modes is not limited to those with different operation speeds. For example, the player can recognize the difference in the operation such as the operation speed, the operation distance, the operation direction, and the type of the movable member to operate. Any embodiment may be used.

  (21) In FIGS. 102 and 103, the ratio at which the mini character display C on which the third mini character image 963 is displayed varies depending on whether or not it is a big hit, and also varies depending on the variation of each stage of the pseudo-ream. As shown, the fourth notice effect is displayed as the fourth notice effect because the selection ratio of the third mini character image 963 having the highest reliability in the specific gaming state in the character image can be varied. Since the player has a sense of expectation for the mini character image, the interest of the game can be improved based on the mini character image.

  (22) For each notice effect of button notice, first step up notice, second step up notice, movable member notice, and mini character notice, S1705 of FIG. 113, S1710, S1715, S1719, S547 of FIG. In S552, S557, S1705, S1710, S1715, and S1719 in FIG. 131, and S547a, S552a, and S557a in FIG. S538 in FIG. 111 and FIG. 112 in which prohibition processing for prohibiting selection of a notice pattern with lower reliability than the notice pattern of the previous variation display is executed for each notice effect of the up notice, the movable member notice, and the mini character notice. S547, S552, S557 As shown in S538a in FIG. 129 and S547a, S552a, and S557a in FIG. 130, a prohibition process for prohibiting selection of a notice pattern with lower reliability than the notice pattern of the previous variation display is executed. When a notice pattern is selected, the notice pattern that is selected later will not be less reliable than the notice pattern that is selected previously, so that the reliability that becomes a big hit after the notice effect is executed is not lowered. Is selected. As a result, despite the fact that the player's expectation has been enhanced by executing the re-variation of the pseudo-ream, the degree of reliability for the big hit by the pre-announcement effect is realized by the effect mode of the notification effect performed in the re-variation of the pseudo-ream. It is possible to prevent the player from giving an impression that the game will decrease.

  (23) As shown in S520 of FIG. 109, S845 of FIG. 117, and ST15 and ST16a of FIG. 120, on condition that the operation button 30 is operated during the variation display executed in the pseudo-variation variation pattern. 109, and the notice effect of the button notice is executed with the notice pattern (notice message) as the notice effect mode selected by the notice setting process shown in S531 to S542 of FIG. 111. A player's willingness to participate can be increased. 74 (A) and 74 (B), a table required for the notice effect at each stage of fluctuation is selected according to the total number of fluctuations (2 times, 3 times) of the pseudo-ream. As described above, the selection ratio of the notice pattern is different in the table selected in accordance with the total number of pseudo-continuations (two times and three times). Therefore, for the notice effect that is executed on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated, the total of the re-variation (the variation including the initial variation and the subsequent re-variation during one variation period) executed in a pseudo-continuous manner. Depending on the number of times, a plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios. Thus, the player's expectation is enhanced with respect to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the result of the jackpot determination by the effect mode of the notice effect executed when the operation button 30 is operated. Can do. Furthermore, because the selection ratio of the notice pattern in the re-variation at each stage is different, even if it is the same pseudo-ream, the selection ratio of the notice pattern is different if the change times when the operation button 30 is operated is different. Variations in the production related to the re-variation display can be increased by the relevance between the number of times of re-variation in the quasi-ream and the selected notice effect mode. By increasing the player's willingness to participate in the game, increasing the player's expectation for the total number of re-variations, and increasing the variation of re-variation effects, It is possible to improve the fun and the interest of the game. Further, as shown in S535 to S538 in FIG. 111, the announcement pattern of each fluctuation time is determined collectively before the start of a series of fluctuation display that becomes a pseudo-continuous, whereby the effect control microcomputer 100 during the fluctuation display is displayed. Control burden (processing burden) can be reduced.

  (24) Further, as shown in FIG. 76 and FIG. 77, the table selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (2 times, 3 times) selects the notice pattern (warning message) for each change of the change. The ratio is different. Therefore, as shown in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, with regard to the notice effect that is executed when the operation button 30 is operated, the number of times in the pseudo-ream is the time when the operation button 30 is operated. A plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios depending on whether the notice effect is a fluctuation. As a result, regarding the re-variation that can be related to the result of the jackpot determination by the effect mode of the notice effect performed when the operation button 30 is operated, the number of times in the pseudo ream when the operation button 30 is operated Based on whether it is a notice effect, a different expectation can be given to the player at each re-variation in the pseudo-ream, and the player's expectation can be enhanced. Furthermore, the number of times of re-variation in the pseudo-series and the selected notice effect mode are selected, such as the selection ratio of the notice pattern is different if the number of times of fluctuation when the operation button 30 is operated is different even in the same pseudo-series. Due to the relevance, it is possible to increase the variation of effects related to the re-variable display. This increases the player's willingness to participate in the game, gives the player a different sense of expectation at each re-variation, and increases the variation of the re-variation rendition, making the re-variation recreational fun Can improve the interest of the game.

  (25) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a pseudo-variation variation pattern is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. When the execution of the notice effect is selected in the change display when the fluctuating variation pattern is selected, the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are displayed in the selected notice effect mode during the change display. Such a step-up notice is executed. That is, as shown in S533 and S533c of FIG. 111, when the selection to execute the step-up notice effect is made, among the step-up notice effects of a plurality of systems such as the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, The step-up notice effect to be executed is selected. 74 (D) to (F) and FIG. 93 (A) to (C), the table necessary for the notice effect at each stage change is selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (2 times and 3 times). As shown in FIG. 78, FIG. 79, FIG. 94, and FIG. 95, the tables selected according to the total number of fluctuations (2 times, 3 times) of the pseudo-series are different in the selection ratio of the notice step. As shown, for a plurality of step-up notice effects, a plurality of types of notice effect forms are selected at different selection ratios according to the total number of re-variations executed in the pseudo-continuous change pattern. Thus, in response to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state, the player's expectation is enhanced by the effect mode of the notice effect by the plurality of notice steps. Can be. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding a pseudo | simulation series can be increased by the relevance of the frequency | count of re-variation in the fluctuation pattern of a pseudo | simulation series, and the notification effect aspect selected. Increasing the player's expectation for the total number of re-variations in the quasi-ream, and increasing the variation of the affairs related to the quasi-ream, improving the fun of the effects related to the quasi-ream and enhancing the interest of the game Can be improved. Also, a step-up notice effect to be executed is selected from the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, which are step-up notice effects of a plurality of systems. Depending on the total number of re-variations performed in step 1, the multiple types of notice effect modes are selected at different selection ratios. There is a possibility that the notice effect will continue. As a result, when a certain step-up notice effect is ended in the middle of the variable display (when it is interrupted), a state in which another notice effect is continued during the period until the display result is derived thereafter may occur. Therefore, the player's interest is not significantly reduced, and it is possible to prevent the presentation time of the variable display from being wasted.

  (26) Further, as shown in FIG. 78 and FIG. 79, the table selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (2 times, 3 times) is a step-up notice notice pattern (notice The selection ratio of step) is different. Therefore, for multiple step-up notices such as the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice, a plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios depending on how many notices are produced in the pseudo-series. Selected. As a result, the re-variation that may be related to the result of the jackpot determination is related to the number of times of the notice effect in the quasi-continuation, and the effect of the notice effect by the multi-step notice step is changed according to the effect form of the notice effect. It is possible to give the player a different sense of expectation in each re-variation in the game, and to increase the player's sense of expectation. In addition, even for the same pseudo-ream, variations in the effects related to re-variable display can be achieved due to the relevance between the multiple stages of the notice step and the notice effect mode selected, such as the selection ratio of the notice pattern differing when the fluctuation times are different. Can be increased. As a result, giving the player a different sense of expectation at each re-variation, and increasing the variation of the re-variation effect, improving the interest of the re-variation effect and improving the fun of the game it can. In addition, a step-up notice effect to be executed is selected from a plurality of step-up notice effects, and the step-up notice effect of the plurality of systems corresponds to the number of times of the notice effect in the pseudo-series. In addition, since a plurality of types of notice effects are selected at different selection ratios, there is a possibility that other notice effects may continue even if a certain notice effect is ended among a plurality of step-up notice effects. . As a result, when a certain step-up notice effect is ended in the middle of the variable display (when it is interrupted), a state in which another notice effect is continued during the period until the display result is derived thereafter may occur. Therefore, the player's interest is not significantly reduced, and it is possible to prevent the presentation time of the variable display from being wasted.

  (27) As shown in S101 to S105 of FIG. 36, a variation pattern including a variation pattern of pseudo-continuous is selected based on the determination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state. If the execution of the first notice effect is selected in the change display when the pseudo-variation change pattern is selected, the notice effect is displayed in the selected notice effect mode before reaching the reach state during the change display. Be started. For the first step-up notice, the tables required for the notice effect at each stage of change are selected according to the total number of fluctuations (2 times, 3 times) of the pseudo-series in FIGS. 74 (D) to (F). As shown in FIGS. 78 and 79, tables selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (two times and three times) differ in the selection ratio of the notice pattern (notice step). Accordingly, for the notice effect of the first step-up notice, a plurality of types of re-changes (changes including initial change and subsequent re-change during one change period) are performed in a pseudo-continuous manner. The notice pattern is selected at a different selection ratio. Thereby, the player's expectation can be enhanced with respect to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the result of the big hit determination by the effect mode of the notice effect by the plurality of notice steps. In addition, because the selection ratio of the notice pattern at the re-variation in each stage is different, even if the same pseudo-ream, the selection pattern of the notice pattern is different if the fluctuation times are different. Depending on the relevance to the notice effect mode, it is possible to increase the variation of the effect relating to the re-variable display. By increasing the player's expectation for the total number of re-variations, and increasing the variations of re-variation effects, the fun of re-variation effects will be improved and the interest of the game will be improved. Can do. As for the step-up notice, as shown in S535 to S538 in FIG. 111, by determining collectively the notice pattern of each variable time for the step-up notice before the start of a series of variable display that becomes a pseudo-continuous, It is possible to reduce the control burden (processing burden) of the production control microcomputer 100 during the variable display.

  (28) Further, as shown in FIG. 78 and FIG. 79, the table selected according to the total number of pseudo-reams (two times, three times) is a step-up notice notice pattern (notice The selection ratio of step) is different. Therefore, for the step-up notice, a plurality of kinds of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios according to the notice effect in the number of changes in the pseudo-ream. As a result, the re-variation that may be related to the result of the jackpot determination is related to the number of times of the notice effect in the quasi-continuation, and the effect of the notice effect by the multi-step notice step is changed according to the effect form of the notice effect. It is possible to give the player a different sense of expectation in each re-variation in the game, and to increase the player's sense of expectation. In addition, even for the same pseudo-ream, variations in the effects related to re-variable display can be achieved due to the relevance between the multiple stages of the notice step and the notice effect mode selected, such as the selection ratio of the notice pattern differing when the fluctuation times are different. Can be increased. As a result, giving the player a different sense of expectation at each re-variation, and increasing the variation of the re-variation effect, improving the interest of the re-variation effect and improving the fun of the game it can.

  (29) When selecting whether or not to execute the notice effect, a plurality of kinds of notice effects with different timing and different notice modes, such as the button notice in FIG. 64 and the first step-up notice in FIG. A notice effect to be executed is selected from the above, and a notice effect form is selected from a plurality of types of notice effect aspects for the selected notice effect. As a result, the variation of the effects related to the pseudo-ream fluctuation display can be varied due to the relationship between the number of re-variations in the fluctuation pattern of the pseudo-ream and the selected notice effect mode. This can be further improved.

  (30) In the sixth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 144, in the non-probability change state and the probability change state, when it is determined that there is no notice effect, there is a notice effect (both button notice and first step up notice) )) Is different from the time when it is determined (the probability variation state has a higher proportion of the absence of the notice effect than the non-probability variation state). Further, since the ratio of selecting the button advance notice is lower and the ratio of selecting the first step-up notice is higher in the probability change state than in the non-probability change state, the button notice and the first step up notice are displayed. Each notice pattern is selected at a different ratio between the non-probability change state and the probability change state. Thereby, when selecting the notice effect form when executing the notice effect from a plurality of types of notice effect aspects, the notice effect form is selected at different selection ratios in the non-probable change state and the probability change state. For a plurality of types of notice effect modes, the appearance ratio varies depending on the state. Thereby, the interest of a game can be improved further.

  (31) Common notice selection table in FIGS. 140 (D) to 140 (F), multiple notice step collective decision table in FIGS. 141 (A) to 141 (C), and plural notice steps in FIGS. 142 (A) to (E). As shown in the batch determination table using the batch determination table, the simultaneous selection of the multiple step-up notification effects such as the first step-up notification and the second step-up notification is selected. Sometimes, the notice effect modes of the step-up notice effects of the plurality of systems are selected and determined all at once, so that the processing burden when selecting and determining the notice effect aspects can be reduced.

  (32) As shown in the seventh embodiment, based on the reserved storage data, a notice is given that the display result of the variable display that is a big hit will be a big hit over a plurality of variable displays before the display is derived and displayed. With regard to the continuous notice effect, the following effects can be obtained by performing the same effect as the button notice effect described above. On the condition that the operation button 30 has been operated, the notice effect is executed in the selected notice effect mode such as the notice message of the button notice and the notice step of the step-up notice, so that the player is willing to participate in the game. Can be increased. As for the notice effect that is executed on the condition that the operation button 30 is operated, as shown in the tables (FIGS. 76 and 77) used for selecting the notice pattern of the button notice, it is determined to control the jackpot. The selection ratio of the notice effect mode differs depending on the number of notice effects in the variable display in a plurality of variable displays before the display result of the variable display is derived and displayed. That is, based on a predetermined selection ratio determination condition, a plurality of types of notice effect modes in each variable display when the notice effect is executed are selected at different ratios. Thereby, what happens when the operation button 30 is operated with respect to the variation pattern that can be related to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot depending on the effect mode of the notice effect executed when the operation button 30 is operated? Based on whether it is a notice effect in the second variation display, it is possible to give the player a different sense of expectation in each variation in such a plurality of variation displays, so as to increase the player's expectation can do. Furthermore, the variation of the production | presentation regarding multiple times of variable display is increased by the relevance with the number of times of the variable display when performing the announcement effect over the multiple times of variable display in continuous notice, and the announcement effect mode selected. be able to. By giving the player a different sense of expectation in each variation in such multiple variation displays, and increasing the variation of the representation related to multiple variation displays, the effect of the representation related to multiple variation displays Can improve the interest of the game.

  (33) FIGS. 74, 75, 85, 88, 93, 97, 101, and 105 in the first embodiment, FIGS. 132 and 137 in the third embodiment, and in the fourth embodiment 140, the selection ratios of the various determination tables using the various selection tables of FIG. 149 in the eighth embodiment differ according to the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations, and the selection ratios of the various notice effect modes differ depending on the selected various determination tables. (FIGS. 76, 77, 78, 79, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 94, 95, 98, FIG. 99, 102, 103, 106, 133, 134, 135, 136, 136, 138, 139, 141, 142). Therefore, for each of the notice effects of button notice, first step up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), second step up notice, movable member notice, mini character notice, and group notice, In accordance with the total number of re-variations (initial variation during one variation period and variation including subsequent re-variation) executed in (1), a plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios. As a result, the player's expectation can be enhanced with respect to the total number of re-variations that can be related to the result of the big hit determination, according to the effect mode of the notice effect.

  (34) FIGS. 74, 75, 85, 88, 93, 97, and 101 in the first embodiment, FIGS. 132 and 137 in the third embodiment, and FIG. 140 in the fourth embodiment. When selecting various decision tables using the various selection tables in FIG. 149 in the eighth embodiment, the selection ratio differs depending on the number of times of change, and the selection ratios of various notice effect modes differ depending on the selected decision tables. (FIGS. 76, 77, 78, 79, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 94, 95, 98, FIG. 99, 102, 103, 133, 134, 135, 136, 136, 138, 139, 141, 142). Therefore, the number of times in the pseudo-registration for each of the button announcement, first step-up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), second step-up notice, movable member notice, and mini character notice A plurality of types of notice patterns are selected at different selection ratios depending on whether the notice effect is a fluctuation. Accordingly, the player can be given different expectations in each re-variation display in the re-variation display based on how many times the re-variation display in the re-variation display pattern is the notice effect. Can increase the sense of expectation.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the reach effect is executed in the last re-variation in the pseudo-continuous has been described. Therefore, the group notice executed after the start of the reach production has been described as an example that can be performed only for the last re-variation of the pseudo-ream. However, the reach effect is not limited to the final re-variation in the quasi-continuation, but may be configured to be able to start even in a variation other than the final re-variation such as the first time or the second time. In this case, as well as the button notice, the first step up notice (basic development notice, reach branch notice, button branch notice), the second step up notice, the movable member notice, and the mini character notice, the group notice is also simulated. A plurality of types of group notice modes may be selected at different selection ratios depending on the number of times of notice change in the series. Accordingly, it is possible to give a player a different sense of expectation in each re-variation display in the re-variation display based on how many times the re-variation display in the re-variation display pattern is the group notice notice effect mode. It is possible to increase the player's expectation.

  (35) As described above, when the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are executed in two systems in parallel, one of the two systems of the step-up notice effect ends. However, the player's expectation can be maintained for a long time by executing another step-up notice effect.

  (36) When the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice are executed in parallel, when the second step-up notice develops to the final step (step 3), the first step-up notice The prohibition control is performed so that the advance notice is terminated at a stage before the advance to the predetermined step (step 3) (FIGS. 145 and 146). As a result, the player's attention can be attracted to the step-up notice effect (second step-up notice effect) that develops the player's attention, and the inconvenience that the effect becomes more complicated than necessary can be prevented.

  (37) One of the first and second step-up notice effects (for example, the first step-up notice effect) is executed when two types of step-up notice effects are executed: a first step-up notice and a second step-up notice. After the notice is started first, the other (for example, the second step-up notice effect) is started (FIGS. 147 and 148). Therefore, it is possible to improve the excitement of the game by improving the variability during execution of the two-step step-up notice effect.

  (38) The random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type described above determines which of the notices to be executed in relation to the notice that the notice effect execution timing overlaps with its display area (for example, button notice and first step-up notice). This is a random number used for this purpose, but using such a random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type, first, the type of the notice effect form is selected from a plurality of kinds, and then a plurality of kinds of notice effects belonging to the selected type are selected. Since the multi-step selection process for selecting the notice effect mode from the modes is performed, the following effects are produced.

  First, as a first effect, it is easy to change the distribution probability of the selection process at the design stage. For example, it is possible to easily change the selection ratio of only the type selection process in the above-described stepwise selection process.

  As a second effect, when a notice effect (competitive notice effect) that cannot be executed at the same time because the execution timing and the display area overlap each other is selected and determined separately, a certain competing notice effect is selected and determined. At this time, it is necessary to always determine whether or not it is determined to execute another competitive notice effect, which increases the burden of the determination process, but the type selection stage using the random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type Since one of the competing notice effects competing with each other is selected and determined, there is no possibility of increasing the burden of such determination processing.

  Whether or not each of the second to fifth notice effects in the present embodiment is executed is determined by a predetermined random number (for example, SR12 to SR19, etc.) different from the random number SR7 for determining the notice pattern type of the first notice effect. ). For this reason, each of the second to fifth notice effects can be executed simultaneously with the first notice effect. As a result, it is possible to increase the variation of the notice effect that is executed at the same time, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (39) In the embodiment described above, the notice operation mode of the button operation promotion effect is selected using the tables shown in FIG. 81 and FIG. The degree can be varied. As a result, the player can be noticed in the notice effect mode of the button operation promotion effect, and the reliability of the jackpot can be predicted by the player before the button notice is performed, thereby improving the interest of the game. be able to.

  Further, in the above-described eighth embodiment, since the start time of the button operation promotion effect is selected using the table shown in FIG. 150, the reliability that becomes a big hit is varied depending on the start time of the button operation promotion effect. Can do. As a result, the player can be noticed at the start time of the button operation promotion effect, and the player can determine the reliability of the jackpot from the combination of the notification effect mode and the start time of the button operation promotion effect before the button notification is performed. Can be predicted, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (40) In the above-described embodiment, the group announcement notice effect mode is selected using the tables shown in FIGS. 104 to 106. Therefore, the reliability and probability change that is a big hit depends on the group notice notice effect mode. The reliability that becomes a big hit can be varied. As a result, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the notice effect mode of the group notice, and to make the player predict not only the reliability of the jackpot reliability but also the reliability of the probabilistic jackpot, improving the interest of the game Can do.

  (12) In the above-described embodiment, the game control microcomputer 560 determines a specific variation pattern of the pseudo-series (a variation pattern that specifies information related to variation such as the number of variations), and the variation is performed using the effect control command. Instructing the pattern, the production control microcomputer 100 recognizes a specific variation pattern of the pseudo-series (a variation pattern that specifies information related to variations such as the number of variations) based on the rendering control command, and varies the pseudo-series. An example of executing variation display with patterns was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the production control microcomputer 100 may determine a specific variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous (an effect pattern including a re-change notification effect). For example, on the game control microcomputer 560 side, fluctuations in pseudo-series using S105A and S105B shown in FIG. 36 (random 7 in FIG. 15 and pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination tables 139A and 139B shown in FIGS. 28 and 29). The processing of these steps may be executed on the side of the effect control microcomputer 100 without executing the pattern determination). In this case, it suffices if the fluctuation pattern determined based on the random number 4 in S105 of FIG. As a result of such association, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits a change pattern command indicating the change pattern determined in S105, and the effect control microcomputer 100 receives the received change. A specific variation pattern of the pseudo-series may be determined based on the presence / absence of the pseudo-series stored corresponding to the pattern command and the information on the number of times of variation in the pseudo-series.

  (13) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the game control microcomputer 560 determines the number of pseudo-series fluctuations is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the production control microcomputer 100 determines the number of pseudo-series fluctuations You may make it do. For example, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits a variation pattern command that can specify whether or not to execute a pseudo-ream, and the effect control microcomputer 100 is determined to execute a pseudo-ream. Is received, the number of fluctuations of the pseudo-ream is determined.

  (15) In the above-described embodiment, the number of executions of fluctuation in the pseudo-series for the button notice, the first step-up notice, the second step-up notice, the movable member notice, the mini-character notice, and the group notice performed in the pseudo-series. As the number increases, the example shows that the reliability that is a big hit after the notice is high. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reliability that is a big hit may be constant regardless of whether the number of executions of the fluctuation in the pseudo-run is large or small. In other words, the reliability of the big hit is constant, but the effect of the button notice of the control mode as described above, the first step up notice, the second step up notice, the movable member notice, the mini character notice, and the group notice effect. May be executed.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, it is shown that a prohibition process for prohibiting selection of a notice pattern with lower reliability than the notice pattern of the previous variation display is executed in S538 of FIG. 111 and S538a of FIG. 129. It was. In this way, in order to prohibit selection of a notice pattern having a lower reliability than the notice pattern of the previous variation display, a notice pattern determination table (a notice message decision table, a notice step decision table) used in each fluctuating time of the pseudo-series. For the above, a table may be used in which only a notice pattern having a reliability higher than the reliability of the notice pattern that can be selected in the previous variation is selectable.

  (17) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 72, an example in which whether or not to give a notice of button notice or first step-up notice by the notice pattern type decision table is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is determined by using a separate notice availability determination table provided as a button advance notice or a first step-up advance notice effect. It may be determined using the notice pattern type determination table which notice type is selected for the first step-up notice.

  (18) In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 72 and the like, an example in which the notice pattern type determination table is provided separately when the big hit, the reach is lost, and the non-reach is lost. Indicated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as the notice pattern type determination table, the notice pattern type determination table may be provided separately for a big hit and when a big hit occurs. In addition, the notice pattern type determination may be provided separately for reach (including both the case of losing after reach and the case of big hit after reach) and the case of not reaching. In addition, the notice pattern type determination table may be provided separately when the reach is lost and when the reach is not reached. In addition, the notice pattern type determination table may be provided separately for the big hit and when the reach is lost. In addition, the determination of the notice pattern type may be provided separately for a big hit and when a non-reach is lost.

  (19) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 74, an example is shown in which the button notice selection table is provided separately when a big hit, when reach is lost, and when non-reach is lost. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the button notice selection table may be provided separately for a big hit and a case of a loss. Further, the button notice selection table may be provided separately for a big hit and when a reach is lost. Similarly, the first step-up notice selection table, the second step-up notice selection table, the movable member notice selection table, and the mini-character notice selection table are provided separately for a big hit and a loss. Also good. In addition, the step-up notice selection table may be provided separately for a big hit and when a reach is lost.

  (20) As for the presentation modes of the first step-up notice and the second step-up notice described above, any kind of presentation is possible as long as the player can recognize the fact when stepping up. An aspect may be sufficient. For example, the production mode of each notice step may be such that the reach state is determined in the second step and the super reach state is determined in the third step. When such a production mode is adopted, the reach of the game can be improved by stepping up the reach.

  (21) The pseudo-rendition effects described above are executed in the first effect of the effect mode for notifying the number of re-variations executed in the re-variable display pattern for performing the pseudo-ream effect, and in the fluctuating variable display pattern. Either production of the second production that does not notify the number of times of re-variation may be used. Moreover, you may make it provide the fluctuation | variation display pattern means which makes it possible to select and perform either of these 1st effects and a 2nd effect.

  (22) As the notice effects such as the button notice, the first step up notice, the second step up notice, the movable member notice, the mini character notice, and the group notice, the notice effect using only the image, only the sound is used. The notice effect used, the notice effect using only the movable member, the notice effect using the image and the sound, the notice effect using the image and the movable member, the notice effect using the sound and the movable member, and the image Of the notice effects using the sound and the movable member, any notice effect pattern may be used. Further, the notice effect may be selected and executed from among the notice effect patterns in a predetermined order, or may be selected and executed at random from these notice effect patterns.

  (23) In the above-described embodiment, in a variation display when the re-variation display pattern is selected by the variation display pattern selection means, a state in which a notice effect for notifying that the specific gaming state is entered can be executed. An example is shown in which the effect control microcomputer 100 includes a notice effect selecting unit that selects whether or not to perform the notice effect and selects a notice effect mode from a plurality of types of the notice effect aspects. . However, such a notice effect selecting means may be provided in the game control microcomputer 560. In that case, information indicating whether or not the notice effect selected by the notice effect selecting means is in an executable state and information indicating the selected notice effect mode when the notice effect is executed The control command sends the game control microcomputer 560 to the effect control microcomputer 100, and the effect control microcomputer 100 executes the effect control as described above according to the information indicated by the command.

  (24) In the above-described embodiment, as a prohibition process for prohibiting the next (current) change in the next (current) change in the notice effect having a lower reliability than the notice effect selected in the previous change in the “pseudo-ream”. , Memorize the type of notice effect in the previous change, the reliability of the jackpot than the previous change based on the data table (notice message decision table, notice step decision table, etc.) for the next (this time) change When a lower one is selected, in the next (current) fluctuation, the execution of the one selected based on the data table is prohibited, and a control for executing the stored notice effect in the previous fluctuation is performed. An example is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Forbidden processing may be as follows. The following prohibition processing may be applied to each of the color reliability display and the pattern reliability display.

  a Memorize the type of notice effect in the previous change. When a random number value (SR8, SR9, etc.) having a lower jackpot reliability than the previous fluctuation is extracted based on the data table for the next (current) fluctuation, a predetermined value is added to the extracted random number value. A calculation (for example, four arithmetic operations such as adding the value of the refresh register) is added, and control is performed so that a notice effect having a reliability higher than the reliability of the notice effect in the previous change is selected.

  b Memorize the type of notice effect in the previous change. In addition, for all types of notice effects to be selected, a data table is provided so that only the notice effects that are higher than the reliability of the jackpot of each notice effect can be selected. Select a data table that can select only the notice effect that is higher than the reliability of the notice effect, and use the data table to determine the reliability that is higher than the reliability of the notice effect in the previous change. Control is made so that the notice effect is selected.

  c Stores the type of notice effect in the previous change. In the effect control microcomputer 100, the data table stored in the ROM is copied to a predetermined area of the RAM so that the data in the data table can be changed. Change the contents of the data table for the next (this time) change so that only the notice effect that is higher than the reliability of the notice effect can be selected according to the previous notice effect (data such as distribution of random values) Then, using such a changeable data table, control is performed so that a notice effect having a reliability higher than the reliability of the notice effect in the previous change is selected.

  (25) In the embodiment described above, button announcements, first step-up announcements, second step-up announcements, movable member announcements, mini-character announcements, and group announcements are used as announcement effects performed in the pseudo-ream. The notice effect to the effect will be shown. As a notice effect performed in the pseudo-ream, a notice effect that a reach is achieved by a predetermined notice pattern such as a button notice, a first step up notice, a second step up notice, a movable member notice, a mini character notice, and a group notice, etc. May be executed.

  (26) The step-up notice shown in the above-described embodiment is provided with a plurality of systems (two systems) of step-up notices (two kinds of notice effects having different image display contents of step-up) and executed step-up notices. As for the notice, the proportion of the notice effect mode to be selected and executed from a plurality of types of the notice effect modes is different. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for the step-up notice effect mode, the step-up image display content is the same, but the step-up progress degree is different (one with fast progress and one with slow progress). It may be included as a type of effect. In addition, as for the effect form of the step-up notice, the image display contents of the step-up may be the same, but those having different step-up start timings may be included as a plurality of kinds of effect forms. Further, the step-up notice shown in the above-described embodiment may be configured by only a single system (one system) step-up notice.

  (27) For the notice effects such as the button notice and the first step-up notice shown in the above-described embodiment, the determination of whether or not to execute the notice effect and the determination of the notice effect form may be sequentially performed. Deciding whether or not to execute a notice effect and a notice effect mode (including both a notice effect type such as button notice and first step-up notice and a specific notice pattern such as notice message and notice step) May be performed simultaneously. In addition, regarding the selection and determination of the notice effect mode, the selection and determination of the notice effect type (type of notice effect such as button notice and first step-up notice) and the notice pattern (notice message and notice step) The selection and selection of the notice pattern may be sequentially performed, and the selection and selection of the notice effect type (the notice effect type such as the button notice and the first step-up notice) and the notice pattern (the notice message and the notice step) may be performed. Such a specific notice pattern) may be selected and determined at the same time.

  (28) The above-described embodiment includes the following configuration. The notice effect selecting means executes one or more step up notice effects out of a predetermined number of step up notice effects (first step up notice and second step up notice) that can be divided into a plurality of systems and executed simultaneously. (S533, S533c in FIG. 111), and when the notice effect executing means selects to execute the plurality of step up notice effects by the notice effect selecting means, a plurality of step ups are performed. The notice effect is simultaneously executed (FIGS. 65, 68, and 142).

  (29) With regard to sudden probability change (surprise accuracy), such as when it is not a big hit in a pseudo-ream, display an out-of-order symbol in a state that does not become reach, and then perform an effect that suddenly changes the probability (surprise accuracy) It may be.

  (30) (A) to (C) in FIG. 74, (A) to (C) in FIG. 75, (A) to (C) in FIG. 85, and (A) to (C) in FIG. A notice selection table for a notice effect, a notice selection table for a second notice effect shown in FIGS. 93 (A) to 93 (C), a notice selection table for a third notice effect shown in FIGS. 97 (A) to 97 (C), and 101A to 101C, the data selection table to be used may be shared as shown below for each of the notice selection tables for the fourth notice effect. For example, the data table to be selected is shared for the first change notice when there is no pseudo-ream, the second notice when the second change occurs, and the third notice when the third change occurs. (However, as shown in FIG. 74 (C), FIG. 75 (C), FIG. 85 (C), FIG. 88 (C), FIG. 93 (C), FIG. 97 (C), FIG. 101 (C)) When there is no data table corresponding to the third time, the data table to be selected is shared for the first change notice when there is no pseudo-ream and the second notice when change is second. For example, taking the jackpot button notice selection table of FIG. 74A as an example, data to be selected for the first notice message determination table 201A, the third notice message determination table 201C, and the sixth notice message determination table 201F. Standardize the table. In addition, when such data tables are shared, the data table to be selected is shared for the first change notice in the case of two pseudo-series and the second change notice in the case of three pseudo-series. (However, as shown in FIG. 74 (C), FIG. 75 (C), FIG. 85 (C), FIG. 88 (C), FIG. 93 (C), FIG. 97 (C), FIG. 101 (C)) Except when there is no data table corresponding to the third time). For example, taking the big hit button notice selection table of FIG. 74 (A) as an example, the data table to be selected is shared for the second notice message determination table 201B and the fifth notice message determination table 201E. In addition, the notification reliability selection table shown in FIG. 80 is also made common to the data table to be used in the same manner as each of the notification selection table of the first notification effect and the notification selection table of the second notification effect. May be. If such data tables are shared, the number of data tables can be reduced, so that the storage capacity required for the ROM on the effect control microcomputer 100 side can be reduced. Furthermore, when a big hit is made, even when it is not a pseudo-ream, it is possible to make a notice with a high reliability for making a big hit.

  (31) The above-mentioned chance may be displayed when the display result of a surprise big hit is displayed, or may be displayed when the round hit is 15 rounds regardless of whether the probability big hit or the normal big hit.

  (32) With regard to the first notice effect to the fourth notice effect described above, as the notice pattern selected when the non-reach is lost in the quasi-continuation, the reliability that becomes a big hit as the later change of the quasi-continuation changes Numerical data of various tables may be set so that a high-priority notice pattern is not easily selected. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player's expectation from being overwhelmed in the non-reach fluctuation display that does not result in a reach state.

  (33) The mini character notice described above can be defined as follows. A mini character notice is a notice image that appears when a symbol changes at a high speed (a state in which the symbol is changed in a display mode that is difficult to visually recognize) after the symbol change starts. For example, it is a sub-notice that is displayed in a manner that is harder to recognize than the first notice effect to the third notice effect and the fifth notice effect, and that starts executing the notice prior to the main notice. Here, “a display mode that is difficult to visually recognize” corresponds to one provided with at least one of the following (a) to (e). (A) Display a preview image related to the background image (which constitutes a part of the background image) (for example, a vehicle such as “car” or “bicycle” at the position of “road” in the background of “townscape”) Or display "characters" at the "signboard" position.) (B) The size of the sub-notice (mini-character notice) image is displayed as an image smaller than the main notice image. (C) The size of the sub-notice (mini-character notice) image is displayed as an image smaller than the design image. (D) When displaying the sub-notice (mini-character notice) image, do not execute a synchronized effect by voice, light emitter, etc. (not actively notify). (E) Displaying a secondary notice (mini-character notice) image on the back side (lower priority of overlap display) than the design image at a position overlapping with the changing design image (effect design image).

  (34) The modification examples of the mini character notice as the sub notice mentioned above are listed below. (A) The appearance rate of the sub-notice (mini-character notice) is preferably set to be higher than the appearance rate of the main notice. Thereby, even when the main notice does not appear, the frequency of occurrence of the sub notice can be increased, so that the player can be prevented from getting bored. (B) When making the symbol image semi-transparent (transparent) while all symbols (production symbols) are changing (during high-speed fluctuation), a preview image is displayed at a position overlapping the changing symbol image. The notice (mini character notice) can be made more difficult to recognize. If you do not want to be semi-transparent (transparent), you can display a preview image at a position that overlaps with the design image, so that you can get a glimpse of the preview image only between the scrolling design images It can be difficult to recognize. (C) If the movable member moves on the display screen, the preview image may be displayed by displaying the preview image on the back of the movable member and then operating the movable member. (D) Sub-notice (mini-character notice) may be executed simultaneously at a plurality of locations on the display screen. Thereby, it is possible to make the sub-notice more difficult to recognize. In addition, the display mode of the sub-notice (mini-character notice) is not only the presence / absence of displaying a predetermined notice image, but also the type, color, size, shape, position, pattern, character type, display start of the image to be displayed. Depending on the timing, the jackpot, the reliability of the notice, or the subject of the notice may be different.

  (35) In each of the above-described embodiments, the notice effect mode is selected at a different selection ratio depending on the total number of re-variable displays executed in the re-variable display pattern and the notice effect in the number of re-variable displays. (FIGS. 74 to 91A, FIGS. 93 to 95, FIGS. 97 to 99, FIGS. 101 to 103, 105, and 106). However, in addition to or instead of this, a type selection process for selecting the type of the notice effect mode from a plurality of types (for example, “button notice” using the first notice effect notice pattern type determination table of FIG. 72) Or, at the stage of “selection of first step-up notice”), the type is selected depending on the total number of re-variation displays executed in the re-variation display pattern and the number of re-variation display notices. You may control to select by a ratio. At that time, for example, the number of execution steps (2 or 3) of the step-up notice is determined at the stage of selecting the type, and the first step-up notice or the second step-up notice is selected at the subsequent stage of selecting the notice effect. It may be controlled to select and determine.

  (36) In the above-described eighth embodiment, among the notice effects that are executed in parallel, another step is performed at the stage where a predetermined step (eg, step 2) of a certain notice effect (eg, basic development notice effect) is completed. When the final step (step 3) of the notice effect (for example, the monitor notice effect) is being executed, the certain notice effect (basic development notice effect) is terminated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a final step (step 3) of another notice effect is executed, even if a certain notice effect is in the middle of the step, control may be performed immediately. . Furthermore, when the final step (step 3) of another notice effect is scheduled to be executed, control is performed so that a certain notice effect is ended before the final step is executed. May be. Specifically, when the final step (step 3) of another notice effect is executed at the stage of determining the notice at the start of fluctuation of the effect display device 9, one notice effect is changed to another Control is performed so that the step that ends at the start of the final step (step 3) of the notice effect is stopped and the notice effect that does not execute the subsequent steps is selected. This control is performed, for example, when a certain notice effect that is already selected is selected when another notice effect that performs the final step (step 3) is selected after a certain notice effect is selected. When the final step (step 3) is not finished at the start stage, the already selected notice effect is changed, and the final step (step 3) of another notice effect is finished at the start stage. Make things. As another control method, a combination of another notice effect in which the final step (step 3) is executed and a certain notice effect that is ended at the time of execution of the final step (step 3) is stored as a table in a table. Alternatively, the combination pair may be selected from the table.

  (37) In each of the above-described embodiments, when the notice effects that are executed at the first fluctuation are compared between when the total number of fluctuations (total number of re-variations) of the pseudo-series is large and small, the total fluctuations The higher the number of times, the higher the probability that an effect mode with a high degree of expectation for the big hit is selected is controlled (FIGS. 74 to 91A, FIGS. 93 to 95, FIGS. 97 to 99, FIG. 101-103, 105, 106). However, instead of this, at the time of the first change, control may be performed such that the higher the total number of changes, the higher the probability of selecting a notice effect with a low degree of expectation for the big hit.

  (38) In the embodiment described above, the basic advance notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice are selected and determined as the type of notice effect mode (button notice or first step-up notice), and the notices belonging to that type are then selected. In the stage of selecting the production mode, one of the basic development notice, reach branch notice and button branch notice is selected and determined. However, instead, it may be controlled to be selected from among the basic advance notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice in the type selection stage using the random number SR7.

  (39) The step-up notice (first step-up notice and second step-up notice) executed in parallel with each other shown in the above-described embodiment is executed in parallel as a notice effect belonging to one type. You may comprise so that multiple system step-up notice effect may be included. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the first step-up notice includes three types of notice modes, namely, basic development notice, reach branch notice, and button branch notice. In addition, the simultaneous step-up notice effect is included. This simultaneous advance type step-up notice effect is, for example, a notice effect form in which a basic development notice effect and a monitor notice effect are simultaneously advanced. When the simultaneous step-up notice effect is selected with reference to the table, for example, the basic advance notice effect and the monitor notice effect are simultaneously advanced.

  (40) In the above-described eighth embodiment, the prohibition process of the step-up notice such as the basic development notice is shown to be prohibited in the execution stage of the step-up notice (see FIGS. 145 and 146). . However, instead of this, it may be controlled so that all of them including the prohibition are determined at the start of variation by the effect display device 9. Specifically, for step-up notices executed in parallel, a combination of one step-up notice to be prohibited and the other step-up notice is stored in a table as a pair, and the other step-up notice is finalized. A table is stored in which a step (step 3) is executed and one step-up notice ends at the end of the second step during the execution of the final step.

  (41) As for the above-mentioned notice pattern type, when the notice effect is executed at the same time, the notice effects whose effects are overlapped are grouped on the display screen of the effect display device 9, and only one of the notice effects that overlap each other is selected. This is to prevent the inconvenience of overlapping productions on the display screen. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the announcement effect is executed at the same time, it may be simply grouped as the type of the announcement, regardless of whether or not the effect overlaps on the display screen of the effect display device 9.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
