When the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 200 at the time of the stop are in a hit state, the game shifts to a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 66 is started. . When the first special symbol 192 is a winning mode, the decorative symbol 200 simulating a slot machine game takes a display mode in which three symbols are matched. In addition, when the second special symbol 193 and the result symbol 201 at the time of stoppage are in the hit state, the game shifts to a special game and the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 66 is started. At this time, the effect display device 60 displays an effect image that suggests winning of the second lottery result while displaying the decorative design 200. As an effect image that suggests a win, for example, a success effect image of a mini game or a hit effect image by a character can be used. Further, the effect image suggesting this hit can be displayed regardless of the fluctuation or non-fluctuation of the first special symbol 192.

  When the special game is executed, the special winning opening 66 is temporarily closed after being opened for about 30 seconds or after nine or more game balls are dropped. Such opening / closing of the big prize opening 66 is repeated a predetermined number of times, for example, 15 times.

  When a special game occurs and a predetermined condition such as a lottery is satisfied, the probability game (hereinafter referred to as “probability change”) or the reduction in the time required for the change (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”) as a specific game after the special game ends. Is started). During probability change, a lottery with a higher win probability than the normal probability state is performed, and a new special game is generated relatively early. The time reduction is continued until a predetermined end, for example, the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 changes 100 times. During the time reduction, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 is substantially shortened.

  When the game ball passes through the operation port 68, a symbol called a normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 for a predetermined time. The normal symbol display device 59 is provided on the right side of the effect display device 60. When the normal symbol variation display stops in a predetermined hit state after the lapse of a predetermined time, the normal electric accessory 65 of the second start port 63 expands for a predetermined time. In a normal state, the probability that a normal symbol stops in a winning manner is set to a low probability, but the probability varies with a high probability during a short time. For this reason, in the normal state, the probability that the ordinary electric accessory 65 of the second start port 63 is opened is low, but the probability that it is opened during the time reduction is high. Also, during the time saving, the normal symbol variation display time is shortened, and the time for the ordinary electric accessory 65 to be in the open state is set to be relatively long. As described above, the ordinary electric accessory 65 is difficult to be opened except during the time, while the ordinary electric accessory 65 is easily opened during the time, and the number of times and the opening time are increased. Therefore, the ease of entering the ball into the second start port 63 differs greatly depending on whether or not the time is short, and as a result, there is a large difference in the number of balls for winning in the start winning port depending on whether or not the time is short. Since the player can proceed with the game without reducing the number of balls during the time, it is possible to realize different game characteristics depending on whether the time is short.

Is acquired as the second success / failure lottery value. For example, the first and second success / failure lottery values are acquired from a value range from “0” to “65535”. The “random number” in the present application may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo-random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. The general drawing lottery means 136 acquires a general drawing lottery value when a game ball passes through the operation port 68. Each lottery value is temporarily held by the hold control means 116. However, the success / failure lottery value or the usual lottery value is acquired and held only when the predetermined upper limit number of hold put on hold by the hold control means 116 is not exceeded.

  The first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 hold a plurality of success / failure tables to be referred to in the success / failure determination. In the plurality of success / failure tables, the determination result of winning or losing is associated with the winning / losing lottery value, and the success / failure probability is determined according to the associated winning range setting. The first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 refer to the success / failure table for the determination of success / failure based on the normal probability at the normal time, and refer to the success / failure table having a higher probability than the normal probability at the time of probability change. The first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 refer to any of the plurality of winning / failing tables and determine whether or not the winning / losing lottery value is a win. The usual drawing lottery means 136 also holds a plurality of usual drawing lottery tables to be referred to when determining whether or not the normal symbol lottery is successful. In the plurality of usual-game winning / no-going tables, the determination result of winning or losing and the usual drawing lottery value are associated with each other, and the success / failure probability is determined according to the associated winning range setting. The normal drawing lottery means 136 refers to a normal figure success / failure table for determination of success / failure based on a normal probability in a normal state, and refers to a general purpose success / failure table having a higher win probability than the normal probability in a short time.

  The determination result by the first lottery means 126 is variably displayed in the form of the first special symbol 192 on the first special symbol display device 70 and is variably displayed in the form of the decorative symbol 200 on the effect display device 60. The determination result by the second lottery means 128 is variably displayed in the form of the second special symbol 193 on the second special symbol display device 71, and is displayed as an auxiliary result expression by the result symbol 201 variation on the result display device 61. The determination result by the general symbol lottery means 136 is variably displayed in the form of a normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 59.

  The symbol determination means 114 determines the stop symbol and the variation pattern to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 70, the second special symbol display device 71, and the effect display device 60 according to the lottery result by the success / failure lottery means 112. Moreover, the symbol determination means 114 determines the stop symbol of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 by lottery. The stop symbol is a symbol to be displayed at the end of symbol variation. The symbol determining unit 114 includes a first symbol determining unit 138, a second symbol determining unit 140, and a general symbol determining unit 142, and each of them includes a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine a special symbol or a normal symbol stop symbol. Hold. In addition, a pattern determination table to be referred to determine the variation pattern is held. The first symbol determining means 138 holds the first symbol range table 300 as a table for determining the first special symbol 192, and the second symbol determining means 140 is used as a table for determining the second special symbol 193. The second symbol range table 301 is held. In the first symbol range table 300, the correspondence between the first special symbol 192 represented by the numbers "0" to "9" and the symbol determination lottery value is defined. In the second symbol range table 301, the correspondence between the second special symbol 193 represented by the marks “◯” and “x” and the symbol determination lottery value is defined. The first symbol determining means 138 holds the first variation table 302 as a table for determining the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192, and the second symbol determining means 140 determines the variation pattern of the second special symbol 193. The second variation table 303 is held as a table for this purpose. However, in the modification, the first variation table 302 and the second variation table 303 may be shared as one pattern determination table.

  The first symbol determining means 138 obtains a symbol determination lottery value for determining the first special symbol 192, refers to the first symbol range table 300, and determines whether the first lottery means 126 is successful or not and the symbol determination lottery value. The stop symbol of the first special symbol 192 is determined according to the above. The first symbol determination unit 138 refers to the first variation table 302 and selects one of a plurality of variation patterns in accordance with the result of the determination of whether or not the lottery unit 112 determines. The second symbol determination means 140 acquires a symbol determination lottery value for determining the second special symbol 193, refers to the second symbol range table 301, and determines whether the second lottery means 128 determines whether or not the symbol is determined. The stop symbol of the second special symbol 193 is determined according to the above. The second symbol determination unit 140 refers to the second variation table 303 and selects any one of the plurality of variation patterns according to the result of the determination of success / failure by the success / failure lottery unit 112. The first symbol determination means 138 and the second symbol determination means 140 send data indicating the determined stop symbol and variation pattern to the main display control means 118 and the effect determination means 132.

  The first symbol determination means 138 and the second symbol determination means 140 are a first variation table 302, a second variation pattern 302, a second variation pattern, each of which defines a variation mode from a variation start to a stop when a special symbol is variably displayed. Store in the fluctuation table 303. Plural types of variation patterns have various characteristics of variation time. That is, for each variation pattern, a variation display time is defined for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the variation of the special symbol is stopped when the variation display time elapses. For example, the first variation table 302 holds patterns associated with each other so that the variation time of the first special symbol 192 that is shorter than the variation time of the second special symbol 193 is selected. On the other hand, the second variation table 303 holds a pattern that is correlated so that the variation time of the second special symbol 193 that is longer than the variation time of the first special symbol 192 is selected. At this time, the average fluctuation time of the second special symbol 193 is longer than the average fluctuation time of the first special symbol 192. For example, a relatively large difference may be provided between the respective average fluctuation times. By setting in this way, the player's attention can be concentrated on the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the first special symbol 192 that varies relatively much compared to the number of variations of the second special symbol 193. The pachinko gaming machine 10 that can be played with the same feeling as the first type pachinko gaming machine can be provided.

  Further, the second symbol determining means 140 holds a pattern associated with the second variation table 303 so that the variation time of the length that the variation display of the first special symbol 192 can include multiple times is selected. ing. The longer the variation time of the second special symbol 193 becomes, the more various effects become possible, and it is possible to perform the effect until the big hit occurrence that can represent the most playability in the ball game machine with sufficient time. The second variation table 303 holds a plurality of patterns that can be selected when the lottery result by the second lottery means 128 is winning. Among the plurality of patterns, the difference in the variation time of at least two patterns is the average of the patterns held in the first variation table 302 that can be selected when the result of the lottery by the first lottery means 126 is out of place. It is a length that can include multiple fluctuation times more than once. That is, the length of the pattern of each second special symbol 193 that can be selected when the second lottery is won is the average variation time pattern of the first special symbol 192 selected when the first lottery is missed. Is a length including a plurality of times. In other words, a plurality of times of the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 200 can be displayed while the second special symbol 193 is changed once. As a result, when the second lottery is a win, the result can be suggested using a plurality of decorative symbols 200. Thus, since there are various lengths of the pattern of the second special symbol 193 to be selected when the second lottery is won, when suggesting the winning result of the second lottery, for each pattern of the selected second special symbol 193 An effect using a different number of decorative symbols 200 is possible. As a result, the variation of the production type and the content of the production can be increased.

  In addition, the second variation table 303 can hold a table in which the variation times of the second special symbols are associated with each other so that the longer the variation time, the easier the hit occurs. Thereby, as the variation time of the second special symbol 193 becomes longer, various effects become possible, and it is possible to perform the effects until the big hit occurrence that can represent the most playability in the pachinko gaming machine 10 with sufficient time. Furthermore, the second variation table 303 can also hold a pattern that is associated only when the variation time exceeding the predetermined time is the result of the second lottery.

  Note that the second special symbol 193 indicating the result of the second lottery has a relatively small number of fluctuations compared to the first special symbol 192, and if the result of the second lottery is successful, Since the effect image suggesting that is displayed, the necessity of concentrating the player's attention on the second special symbol 193 is reduced. In this respect as well, it is possible to direct the player's concentration to the effect display device 60 on which the decorative symbol 200 is displayed in spite of the gaming machine in which a plurality of games are mixed. As a result, it is possible to provide the player with the pachinko gaming machine 10 that can be operated with the same feeling as the conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machine.

  As described above, the first variation table 302 and the second variation table 303 hold various variation patterns, so that various effects based on the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 can be realized. Each production will be described later.

  When the game ball passes through the operation port 68, the general symbol determining means 142 acquires a lottery random number for determining a normal symbol, and stops the normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 according to the lottery random number. Determine the design. When the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a specific symbol, the opening / closing control means 124 expands the normal electric accessory 65 of the second start port 63 for a predetermined time.

  The holding control unit 116 includes a first holding unit 144, a second holding unit 146, and a general drawing holding unit 147. The first holding means 144 holds the first success / failure lottery value acquired by the first lottery means 126 as a holding ball. The second holding unit 146 holds the second winning / failing lottery value acquired by the second lottery unit 128 as a holding ball. The general map holding means 147 holds the general map lottery value acquired by the general map lottery means 136 as a holding ball. The first and second success / failure lottery values and the usual drawing lottery values are accumulated until the respective holding numbers reach a predetermined upper limit. The upper limit of the number of holds is 4 for example. The number of first success / failure lottery values held by the first holding means 144 is represented by the number of lighting of the lamps in the first special figure holding lamp 20, and The number is represented by the number of lamps lit in the second special figure holding lamp 21, and the number of common figure lottery values held by the general figure holding means 147 is represented by the number of lamps lit in the general figure holding lamp 22.

  The main display control means 118 includes a first special figure control means 148, a second special figure control means 150, a special figure adjustment means 152, and a universal figure control means 153. The first special symbol control means 148 displays the lottery result by the first lottery means 126 on the first special symbol display device 70 as a variation display of the first special symbol 192 according to the variation pattern determined by the first symbol determination means 138. Display. The second special symbol control means 150 gives the result of the lottery by the second lottery means 128 to the second special symbol display device 71 as a variation display of the second special symbol 193 according to the variation pattern determined by the second symbol determination means 140. Display. The first special figure control means 148 and the second special figure control means 150 issue a change start command and a change stop command at the timing to start and stop the change display of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193, respectively. By transmitting to the display control means 134, the variable display by the main display control means 118 and the display control means 134 is synchronized, and the interlock is maintained. The normal symbol control means 153 causes the normal symbol display device 59 to display the lottery result by the normal symbol lottery means 136 as a normal symbol variation display.

  The special figure adjusting means 152 displays the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 variably in parallel in the normal game. That is, in the normal game, even if one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is in the variable display, the other variable display start is not prevented. When one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is stopped in the hit state and the other variable display is not made, the special figure adjusting means 152 waits for the start of the variable display. In this case, while the special game is executed, the special symbol change display is not newly started, and another special game does not occur at the same time, so the player may concentrate on one special game. it can. In this way, even if a plurality of game abilities are mixed, by performing control so that the game abilities of each special game can be grasped individually, novel game abilities can be realized while avoiding the complexity of the games.

  The special symbol adjusting means 152, when one symbol of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed while the other symbol is stopped in the hit state, the special symbol that is fluctuating As for, the variable display is continued as it is until the special game generated by the winning is finished. In this case, the variation state is continued by temporarily stopping the progress of the timer that measures the variation time of the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193. For example, if the second special symbol 193 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the first special symbol 192, the variation display of the first special symbol 192 is continued until the special game based on the second special symbol 193 is completed. Let Similarly, when the first special symbol 192 is stopped in a hit state during the variation display of the second special symbol 193, the special game based on the first special symbol 192 is ended with the variation display of the second special symbol 193. Continue until. In this way, even if a plurality of games are mixed, control is performed so that each game can be grasped individually, and in particular, the confusion that a plurality of special games are executed simultaneously is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  In addition, the special figure adjusting means 152 is configured such that when one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed while the other symbol is variably stopped in the hit state, The symbol is forcibly stopped in a disengaged manner. For example, when the second special symbol 193 is stopped in a variation manner while the first special symbol 192 is in a variation display, the variation display of the first special symbol 192 is forcibly stopped in a detachment manner. Similarly, when the first special symbol 192 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the second special symbol 193, the variation display of the second special symbol 193 is forcibly stopped in an outlier manner. As a control method for stopping in the off mode, for example, a method of simultaneously stopping fluctuations in the other special symbol at the timing when one special symbol stops in the hit mode may be used. However, if the other special symbol is also in a hit state if it is stopped at the same time, a so-called “slip” method may be used in which the fluctuation is extended until the disengaged state is displayed as the stop symbol. As another method of stopping in the off mode, for example, if a special symbol that is subject to forced stop was originally scheduled to be stopped in a stop mode in the out mode, the special symbol in the variable display is immediately A method of stopping by replacing with a stop symbol may be used. At this time, if the stop symbol that is scheduled to stop is in the winning mode, the stop symbol is changed to a stop symbol that is out of mode, and then the special symbol currently displayed in the variable display is immediately replaced with the changed stop symbol. You may let them. As a result of the change, the flag indicating that the game should be shifted to the special game is not turned on. In this way, even if a plurality of games are mixed, control is performed so that each game can be grasped individually, and in particular, the confusion that a plurality of special games are executed simultaneously is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  The operating condition holding unit 176 includes a first operating condition holding unit 178 and a second operating condition holding unit 180. The first operating condition holding means 178 holds the first operating condition that is a condition for shifting the special game based on the first lottery. The second operating condition holding unit 180 holds a second operating condition that is a condition for shifting the special game based on the winning of the second lottery. The first operation condition and the second operation condition are referred to by the special game control means 120, and the special game is executed when any one of the operation conditions is established.

  The special game control means 120 determines that the first operating condition is satisfied when the first special symbol 192 is stopped in a predetermined hit state when the result of the first lottery means 126 is a winning / not-winning lottery result. A special game is executed by opening the winning opening 66. Similarly, if the result of winning or failing lottery by the second lottery means 128 is a win, it is determined that the second operating condition is established when the second special symbol 193 is stopped in a predetermined winning manner, and the big prize opening 66 is set. A special game is executed by opening it. The special game is a game in which the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 66 is continuously continued a plurality of times, and is constituted by one or a plurality of unit games with one opening / closing as a unit. The unit game is repeated up to 15 times, for example, and the grand prize opening 66 is opened for about 30 seconds in one unit game. The special game control unit 120 may determine the number of unit games and the release time of the special game according to the first special symbol 192 determined by the first symbol determination unit 138. The special game control means 120 may determine the number of unit games and the opening time of the special game according to a predetermined lottery value. The special game control means 120 ends the special game when the number of continuations of the unit game is exhausted.

  The specific game execution means 122 controls the normal game in the state of probability change and short time. The specific game executing means 122 determines whether or not to shift the gaming state after the special game to the probable change state when the first special symbol 192 determined by the first symbol determining means 138 is a hit mode. It is determined according to the type of symbol 192. That is, when the first special symbol 192 is a predetermined symbol, for example, “odd number”, it is determined that the gaming state after the special game is shifted to the probability changing state. In addition, the specific game execution means 122 determines whether or not to shift the game state after the special game to the probable change state when the second special symbol 193 determined by the second symbol determination means 140 is in a hit state. Determined by lottery. For example, when the second special symbol 193 is “◯”, a predetermined lottery is executed, and the shift to the probability change is determined according to the lottery value. The result of the determination according to the lottery value may be displayed on the screen of the effect display device 60, for example, or may not be displayed. The probability variation state is continued until the next jackpot is generated in principle, and during that time, the probability of the hit determination by the success / failure lottery means 112 is maintained at a high value. Further, after the special game is completed, the specific game execution means 122 shifts the game state to the short-time state until the number of times of the variable display of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 reaches a predetermined number, for example, 100 times. . In the short time state, the symbol determining means 114 selects a variation pattern having a short variation time so that the variation display time of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is substantially shortened. The general drawing lottery means 136 refers to a general drawing determination table having a higher probability of winning than the normal probability during a short time. As a result, the ordinary electric accessory 65 of the second start port 63 is opened with high probability during a short time.

  The opening / closing control means 124 controls the opening / closing of the ordinary electric accessory 65 and the big prize winning port 66 of the second starting port 63. When the normal symbol is stopped in a specific manner, the opening / closing control means 124 sends an opening instruction to the normal electric accessory solenoid 76 to open the second start port 63. Further, the opening / closing control means 124 sends an opening instruction to the special winning opening solenoid 80 during the special game, and opens the special winning opening 66.

  The pattern storage unit 130 includes a first pattern storage unit 158 and a second pattern storage unit 160. The first pattern storage unit 158 and the second pattern storage unit 160 hold a plurality of variation pattern data as the variation pattern of the effect image including the decorative design.

  The effect determining unit 132 includes a first effect determining unit 162, a second effect determining unit 164, a selection determining unit 165, an effect start determining unit 166, and an execution determining unit 167. The first effect determination unit 162 determines the stop symbol and the variation pattern of the decorative symbol 200 according to the lottery by the first lottery unit 126 and the stop symbol of the first special symbol 192 and the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192. To do. The first effect determination unit 162 holds a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine a stop symbol of the decorative symbol 200 and a pattern table to be referred to in order to determine a variation pattern. The second effect determining means 164 stops the second special symbol 193 as a result of the lottery by the second lottery means 128, with the stop symbol and the variation pattern of the result symbol 201 being an auxiliary display according to the result of the second lottery. It is determined according to the variation pattern of the symbol and the second special symbol 193. The second effect determination means 164 holds a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine the stop symbol of the result symbol 201 and a pattern table to be referred to in order to determine the variation pattern.

  The first effect determining means 162 and the second effect determining means 164 included in the effect determining means 132 cooperate to determine various effects on the effect display device 60. Therefore, the effect determination means 132 has various functions. For example, when the lottery value of the second lottery is a predetermined value, the effect determining unit 132 displays a plurality of decorative symbols 200 (also referred to as a first decorative feature) that are displayed while the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed. ) Can be selected from a plurality of patterns related to the production content. In addition, as a pattern relevant to the production content, for example, the same background or a variation pattern having the same color can be used. In addition, each variation pattern can be a pattern including a series of stories, and each variation pattern can be a pattern including related characters and characters. Further, the sound output together with the variation pattern may be related. Further, an effect that suggests the result of the second lottery can be performed using the variation pattern of the decorative symbol 200 displayed a plurality of times. Specifically, the decorative symbol 200 can indicate the possibility of a big hit over a plurality of times. Moreover, expectation can also be raised over a longer period. By displaying the variation patterns of the decorative symbols 200 having relevance and continuity one after another, the player's expectation can be increased. Further, the variation pattern of the decorative design 200 can be used as a means for suggesting the result of the second lottery, and the production variation can be increased.

  Further, when the variation of the second special symbol 193 is a hit, the effect determining means 132 selects the second special time in which the variation time of the length that the variation display of the first special symbol 192 can include a plurality of times is selected. A variation pattern of the pattern 193 can also be selected. In this case, since the possibility that a large number of related variation patterns of the decorative symbol 200 can be displayed during the variation of the second special symbol 193 is increased, an effect to be performed when the variation of the second special symbol 193 is a hit. Can be done for a long time. As a result, the production variation when the variation of the second special symbol 193 is a win increases, and the production content can be enhanced. In addition, the first effect determining unit 162 of the effect determining unit 132 refers to the result of the second special symbol 193 to determine whether the first lottery value that can be held by the first holding unit 144 is more than the holding upper limit value of the lottery value. It is also possible to recognize the hit that occurs as a result of the second lottery at the timing, and to select the relevant patterns for the number of times exceeding the holding upper limit value of the first holding means 144. In other words, the result of the second lottery can be implemented using the variation pattern of the related decorative pattern 200 for the number of times that exceeds the reservation upper limit value. As a result, a hit that occurs at a later variation timing that is not held can be displayed in advance in advance, and the gameability can be improved.

  Further, the effect determining means 132 can determine an effect related to a player participation type game, that is, a so-called “mission” as one method of the game effect. The mission is, for example, a request content that the player requests to achieve the achievement as a condition for generating a special game when the lottery value of the second lottery is a predetermined value, and the first special symbol 192 If a specific display is made while the number of times fluctuates a specific number of times, a special game is generated. The effect determining means 132 can present the requested content of the mission before the variable display of the first special symbol 192 for a plurality of times. Also, the mission can be implemented by the decorative symbol 200 that varies while having relevance a plurality of times based on the lottery value of the second lottery. As a result, the production variation with respect to the result of the second lottery increases.

  Further, as will be described in detail later, a plurality of break points are set at predetermined seconds intervals in the variation pattern used for variation display of the decorative design 200. The effect determining means 132 displays the first special symbol 192 corresponding to the deviation variably while the second special symbol 193 corresponding to the win is variably displayed when the result of the second lottery is a win. Sometimes it is possible to decide to replace the production. In other words, a characteristic effect in the case where a point is reached from any of a plurality of delimiter points after a timing that is back by the shortest variation time of the first special symbol 192 from the timing at which the variation of the second special symbol 193 is stopped. To implement. For example, when one of the break points is reached, a variation pattern having a variation time substantially equal to the length from the break point before the break point to the variation end time of the second special symbol 193 is set to the second. It is set as a variation pattern of the special symbol 193. Then, the decorative symbol 200 is variably displayed with the variation pattern, so that the decorative symbol 200 is displayed to stop at substantially the same time as the second special symbol 193. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the image displayed on the effect display device 60 from being unnaturally terminated. Moreover, the result of the 2nd special symbol 193 can be displayed substantially.

  The selection deciding means 165 decides whether or not to select a plurality of patterns related to the production content as a variation pattern of the plurality of decoration symbols 200 to be displayed while the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed. To do. There are cases where the patterns selected by the action of the selection determining means 165 are related or not. As a result, the variation at the time of continuous performance can be improved, and the player's expectation at the time of continuous performance can be improved. In addition, when the selection determination unit 165 selects a pattern for a plurality of times related to the content of the production, the production start determination unit 166 uses which of the decorative patterns 200 to start using the relevant pattern from when the variation starts. To decide. In this case, even if a plurality of related patterns are selected, the start timing can be selected. That is, the variation of the related decorative symbol 200 can be started at an arbitrary timing during the variation of the second special symbol 193. As a result, various variations of the variation of the second special symbol 193 and the variation of the decorative symbol 200 can be selected, and the continuous effect can be changed. Further, even when the same continuous effect pattern is selected, the start timing is different, so that it can be shown to the player like a different effect. Further, when the effect start determining unit 166 determines the use timing of the related pattern, the execution determining unit 167 determines whether or not to execute the related effect at that timing. That is, even if the preparation for the production of the related continuous production pattern is performed, it is possible to delay the determination as to whether or not to actually execute it until immediately before the execution. As a result, interruption of other effects becomes easy, and the production variations can be improved. The execution determining means 167 can determine whether or not to execute an effect based on a predetermined lottery result.

  The stop symbol of the decorative symbol 200 is formed as a combination of three symbols. For example, when the determination result by the first lottery means 126 indicates a shift to a special game, three symbols such as “777” and “111” are displayed. A complete combination is selected. In this case, it is preferable that the same number as the first special symbol 192 is selected as the number to be arranged as the decorative symbol 200. For example, when the first special symbol 192 is “3”, the decorative symbol 200 is “333”. When the determination result by the first lottery means 126 indicates that the game does not shift to the special game, a combination that does not have three symbols such as “312” and “946” is selected. However, if the determination result is that the game does not shift to a special game, and a variation pattern of a special symbol indicating a loss with reach is selected, only one such as “191” or “727” is selected. Select a combination that does not have the same pattern. The first effect determination unit 162 sends information about the stop symbol of the decoration symbol 200 and the variation pattern of the effect image to the display control unit 134.

  The variation pattern of the effect image defines a variation display mode of the effect image, that is, an effect process from the start of change of the effect image to the stop of change. In the fluctuation pattern, a pattern for displaying a normal out symbol, a pattern for displaying a symbol out of reach after reaching a big win if one more symbols are aligned, and a jackpot symbol through a reach state are displayed. When the pattern is included. In particular, the pattern that passes through the reach state includes patterns having various fluctuation times. Each variation pattern has a variation time for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the symbol variation is stopped when the variation time elapses. The effect determining means 132 selects the variation pattern of the effect image having the same variation time as that of the special symbol according to the variation pattern of the special symbol.

  In addition, the stop symbol of the result symbol 201 can be expressed by, for example, “◯” or “×”, or can be expressed by an LED light emission pattern. The second effect determination means 164 sends information about the stop symbol and the variation pattern of the result symbol 201 to the display control means 134. As will be described later, when the result symbol 201 stops in a winning manner, that is, when the result of the second lottery is a hit, the display control means 134 displays the second on the screen of the effect display device 60 on which the decorative symbol 200 is displayed in a variable manner. An effect image suggesting that the lottery result is a win is displayed.

  Display control means 134 includes first effect control means 168, second effect control means 170, and effect adjustment means 172. The display control means 134 further controls effect processing such as lighting and extinguishing of the game effect lamp 90 and sound output from the speaker 18. The first effect control means 168 causes the effect display device 60 to variably display the result of the first success / failure lottery by the first lottery means 126 as an effect image according to the selected variation pattern data. The second effect control means 170 causes the result display device 61 to variably display the result of the second success / failure lottery by the second lottery means 128 according to the selected variation pattern data.

  As described above, when the result of the first lottery is a win, the display control unit 134 stops the decorative symbol 200 on the screen of the effect display device 60 with a combination of hit symbols, and the second lottery result is a win. In the case of the effect display device 60, an effect image suggesting that the second lottery result has been won is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 60. The effect image that suggests a win can be, for example, an image that effects the success of the mini game. Moreover, you may display the message which shows that it is a win using a character etc. As described above, the game effects based on a plurality of lottery results are displayed in a composite manner on the same effect display device 60, so that the same kind of game as the first type pachinko game machine is known regardless of the presence of a plurality of games. A gaming machine that can be operated with a sense can be provided to the player.

  Moreover, the display control means 134 switches the effect state of the decoration symbol in the effect display device 60 according to the result of the second lottery. That is, the result of the second lottery includes a role of changing the effect state of the decorative symbol in the effect display device in addition to the role of indicating whether or not the game state is to be shifted to the special game. Therefore, the utilization range of the result of the second lottery can be expanded. For example, when the lottery value of the second lottery is a predetermined value, the display control means 134 additionally suggests that the occurrence of winning is close while the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 200 are variably displayed multiple times. The effect state is switched so that the sign effect to be displayed on the effect display device 60. In the warning effect, for example, the background of the decorative pattern 200 is changed from “blue” in the normal state to “red”, or a character that does not appear in the normal state is caused to appear. Moreover, it is good also as a mode in which the fluctuation | variation of the decoration design 200 differs from normal time. In this case, a period until the second special symbol 193 is displayed, that is, a period in which the first special symbol 192 is changed a plurality of times, is additionally suggested that the occurrence of hitting is close. Produce direction. As a result, it is possible to provide a game that causes the player to expect generation per long period. The display control means 134 displays a series of decorative symbols 200 on the effect display device 60 if the effect state of the decorative symbols 200 is switched according to the result of the second lottery when the variation of the decorative symbols 200 is started. Can be switched smoothly without discomfort.

  Thus, by changing the effect state, it is possible to make the player recognize that the game state has shifted to a special mode, and the game performance can be improved. In addition, since the switching of the production state is executed based on the result of the second lottery, it is possible to give randomness to the switching of the production state, and the production variation can be increased.

  Note that the display control means 134 may switch and display the sign effect even when the lottery value of the second lottery is out of place. In this case, during the change of the second special symbol 193, the decorative symbol 200 is changed in such a manner that a hit may occur for a predetermined number of times determined according to the result of the second lottery. When displaying an indication that a winning may occur, it may or may not actually occur. In other words, the sign production does not promise a big hit, but it is a production with uncertainty that it may win. The player gets a sense of security when the big hit is committed, but may reduce the expectation until the big hit occurs. As described above, by performing the warning effect with uncertainty, the player is given a sense of expectation with a thrilling feeling that it may be a big hit during this warning effect. This can be continued until the sign production ends. As a result, it is possible to contribute to improvement of game playability.

  Further, in addition to the above-mentioned indication effect, the display control means 134 responds to the number of repetitions when the variation display of the first special symbol 192 is repeated a plurality of times while the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed once. It is also possible to execute an effect that suggests that the jackpot is approaching (referred to as an approach level effect in this embodiment). Although it is effective to execute this effect on the effect display device 60, it may also be performed using lighting control of the game effect lamp 90. By using the effect display device 60 and the game effect lamp 90 for such an effect, a visually impressive effect can be implemented using an image, the effect can be increased, and the degree of expectation can be increased. Further, it may be performed by a voice message via the speaker 18 or by using vibration of the launch handle 17 or the like. Moreover, these effects may each be implemented independently or a plurality of effects may be combined. The display control means 134, when producing an effect suggesting that the big hit is close, may execute an effect of increasing the degree of suggestion step by step as the number of suggestion repetitions increases. For example, as the number of repetitions increases, the background color of the decorative pattern 200 is changed stepwise from blue to red, the number of characters that appear, or characters that are difficult to appear usually appear. It can also be implemented by changing the message displayed together with the decorative design in stages. Further, when the game effect lamp 90 indicates the degree of suggestion, the blinking interval can be shortened step by step or the emission color can be changed flashy. In addition, when using voice or vibration, the output level may be increased stepwise. Thus, the player's expectation with respect to the big hit can be increased by performing the effect suggesting that the big hit is approaching. In addition, it is possible to execute an effect that leads to a different sense of expectation by changing the effect content that suggests that the jackpot is approaching according to the number of times the first special symbol 192 is repeated.

  Furthermore, the display control means 134 can also notify that the occurrence of the big hit has been confirmed. The second symbol determination means 140 holds, as the second variation table 303, a pattern that is associated only when the variation time exceeding the predetermined time is the result of the second lottery. In this case, the display control means 134 displays the first special symbol 192 whose number of times exceeds the value obtained by dividing the aforementioned predetermined time by the average variation time of the first special symbol 192. When it is repeated while the change display is made, the player can be notified of the confirmation. This notification is executed, for example, when the second lottery is a win and the length of the pattern selected as a result of the second lottery is (predetermined time) + (average variation time of the first special symbol) ) This is the case. Or, when the second lottery is a win, the length of the pattern selected as a result of the second lottery is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, and the variation time of the selected first special symbol 192 is equal to or less than the average variation time This is the case when many things are selected. In other words, the variation of the first special symbol 192 is repeated a predetermined number of times or more while the variation of the second special symbol 193 is displayed once. In many cases, the player increases the degree of expectation for the big hit by recognizing the variation of the decorative symbol 200 more times than usual during the time when the variation of the second special symbol 193 is displayed. In addition to this, if the player is informed that the occurrence of the jackpot is confirmed, the excitement level for the jackpot occurrence can be increased.

  In addition, the display control means 134 adds a predetermined auxiliary image to the decorative symbol 200 in the effect display device 60, thereby producing an effect such that the result of the first lottery and the result of the second lottery are displayed together. It can also be implemented. In particular, when it is desired to stop the first special symbol 192 in a winning manner during the variation based on the second special symbol 193 being a winning feature, the auxiliary drawing is added to the decorative symbol 200 and the first lottery and The winning of the second lottery can be displayed together. In addition, when the variation of the hit state of the first special symbol 192 stops before the change of the hit state of the second special symbol 193, by adding an auxiliary screen to the decorative symbol 200 based on the first special symbol 192, 2 It can be suggested that a hit based on the special symbol 193 will occur in the near future. That is, it is possible to make the player recognize the occurrence of two hits on one screen displaying the decorative design 200.

  In this way, by adding the auxiliary image to the decorative symbol 200, the original function of the effect display device 60 that displays the decorative symbol 200 based on the first special symbol 192 is maintained, and the second special symbol 193 is also displayed. It is possible to produce an effect as if the lottery result based on the display is substantially displayed. In other words, in a gaming machine in which the gaming property based on the first lottery and the gaming property based on the second lottery are mixed, a single effect display device is used to display the results of a plurality of types of lottery as in the conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machine. 60 can be displayed. As a result, it is possible to provide the player with the pachinko gaming machine 10 that can be operated with the same feeling as the conventional first type pachinko gaming machine regardless of the presence of a plurality of games.

  The effect adjusting means 172 is generated by hitting a changing symbol when one of the decorative symbols 200 and the result symbol 201 is variably displayed while the other symbol is stopped in a hit state. The variable display is continued until the special game ends. In this case, the variation state is continued by temporarily stopping the progress of the timer that measures the variation time of the decorative symbol 200 or the result symbol 201. For example, when the result symbol 201 is stopped in a hit state during the variation display of the decoration symbol 200, the variation display of the decoration symbol 200 is continued until the special game based on the variation suspension of the result symbol 201 is completed. Similarly, when the decorative symbol 200 is stopped in a hit state during the variation display of the result symbol 201, the variation display of the result symbol 201 is continued until the special game based on the variation suspension of the decorative symbol 200 is completed. In this way, control is performed so that each game can be individually grasped even if a plurality of games are mixed. As a result, the confusion that a plurality of special games are simultaneously executed is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  In addition, the effect adjustment unit 172 may perform processing as follows. In the normal game, the decorative symbol 200 and the result symbol 201 are displayed in a variable manner simultaneously. That is, in the normal game, even if one of the decorative symbol 200 and the result symbol 201 is in the variable display mode, the other variable display start is not prevented. When one of the decorative symbol 200 and the result symbol 201 is stopped in the hit state and the other variable display is not made, the effect adjusting unit 172 waits for the start of the variable display. In this case, while the special game is executed, the symbol change display is not newly started, and another special game does not occur at the same time, so that the player can concentrate on one special game. . In this way, even if a plurality of game abilities are mixed, by performing control so that the game abilities of each special game can be grasped individually, novel game abilities can be realized while avoiding the complexity of the games.

  The effect adjusting means 172 forcibly removes one symbol when the other symbol is stopped in a hit state while one symbol of the decorative symbol 200 and the result symbol 201 is variably displayed. Stop in the manner. For example, if the result symbol 201 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the decorative symbol 200, the variation display of the ornament symbol 200 is forcibly stopped in a detachment manner. Similarly, when the decorative symbol 200 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the result symbol 201, the variation display of the result symbol 201 is forcibly stopped in an outlier manner. In this way, even if a plurality of games are mixed, control is performed so that each game can be grasped individually, and in particular, the confusion that a plurality of special games are executed simultaneously is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment can play a game mainly by paying attention to the image of the effect display device 60. As a result, while it is a multi-function machine in which a plurality of games coexist, it can be played with the same feeling as a conventional type 1 pachinko game machine. As a result, it is possible for the player to entertain the gaming machine with new gaming characteristics without any discomfort as before. In other words, a complex game that can be more complicated than the conventional game can be shown simply.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a basic effect form of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment. The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has the first game based on the first lottery and the second game based on the second lottery, but the display device that clearly shows the lottery result is mainly the first game. Only the effect display device 60 showing the result of one lottery. As a result of the second lottery, the winning lottery result is mainly displayed as an effect image on the effect display device 60 indicating that it is a win.

  The production forms in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment are roughly divided into a normal stage N and a precursor stage M. The normal stage N and the precursor stage M have different production forms. In the normal stage N, the production contents are individually determined by the variation of the first special symbol 192 based on the result of the first lottery and the variation of the second special symbol 193 based on the result of the second lottery, and the presence / absence of the big win is displayed. Is done. For example, when winning in the first lottery, the decorative symbol 200 on the effect display device 60 fluctuates and stops at the symbol combination corresponding to the variation pattern and stop symbol of the first special symbol 192. Let the player recognize that has occurred. In addition, when winning in the second lottery, corresponding to the variation pattern and stop symbol of the second special symbol 193, the result symbol 201 fluctuates and stops on the result display device 61 in the symbol of the winning manner. However, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the second special symbol 193 and the result symbol 201 which are the results of the second lottery are configured so as to be inconspicuous compared to the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 200. ing. Therefore, as described above, when the result of the second lottery is a win, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displays an effect image that suggests the win of the second lottery result on the screen of the effect display device 60. The effect image suggesting a win can be implemented, for example, by displaying an image indicating the success of the mini game or displaying a big hit message using a character or the like. In order to display the result of the second lottery without any sense of incongruity on the effect display device 60 that mainly displays the result of the first lottery using the decorative design 200, the effect determining means 132 and the display control means 134 are Replace and display composite.

  The sign stage M shifts from the normal stage N in accordance with the lottery state of the first lottery and the lottery state of the second lottery, and the stage in which the effect of raising the player's interest during the period determined by the lottery or the like is implemented. It is. It is also a stage that shifts to the normal stage N after a predetermined sign production period has elapsed. In the warning stage M, various effects are executed according to the fluctuation state of the first special symbol 192 as a result of the first lottery and the fluctuation state of the second special symbol 193 as a result of the second lottery, Improve expectations. In the precursor stage M, when the lottery value of the second lottery is a predetermined value, while the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed, the decorative symbol 200 related to the production content is continuously displayed a plurality of times. Includes continuous notice mode to display. This continuous notice mode may occur when the result of the second lottery is “winning continuous notice mode”, which may occur, and when the result of the second lottery is out of place. Including “Successful success notice mode”. For example, the continuous notice mode can be an effect mode in which “reach” is continuously generated. Moreover, it can also be set as the production mode which makes a premier character appear continuously, or the production mode which provides the message which is not normally provided. Further, as a means for increasing the expectation level of continuous notice step by step, a highly reliable reach such as so-called “long reach” or “super reach” may be displayed in order. It is desirable that the symbol combination and effect pattern to be displayed are the same as or similar to the “successful continuous notice mode”, as long as the “no success continuous notice mode” results in no win. In this case, it becomes difficult for the player to distinguish between the “successful continuous notice mode” and the “no success continuous notice mode”, and the expectation and excitement level for the continuous notice mode can be improved. The sign stage M itself is also a kind of effect mode, and the background color of the decorative pattern 200 is changed by the effect display device 60 without shifting to the “successful continuous notice mode” or “no success continuous notice mode”. In addition, by making the character appear along with the variation of the decorative pattern 200, it is possible to suggest the transition to the continuous notice mode or the occurrence of the big hit.

  As described above, the normal stage N and the precursor stage M can be switched reversibly. In addition, the variation of the first special symbol 192 occurs when the ball enters the first start port 62 or the third start port 67, and the variation of the second special symbol 193 occurs in the second start port 63. Since it occurs in response to a ball, the fluctuations of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 can occur simultaneously. Therefore, as the fluctuation state of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 in the normal stage N, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are both out of place and fluctuate. (State a). In the normal stage N, the state that can be changed from the state a includes a case where only the first special symbol 192 is changed to a state b where only the second special symbol 193 is hit, and a case c where only the second special symbol 193 is hit. is there. It is possible to shift to the precursor stage M from any state. In the state a, since the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are both out of place, when the state a shifts to the precursor stage M, the state shifts to the “no success continuous notice mode”. The transition to the precursor stage M occurs when the first special symbol 192 starts to change. In addition, the transition from the precursor stage M to the normal stage N also occurs when the first special symbol 192 starts to change. The staying time of the precursor stage M is determined by lottery.

  In the case of state b, since the first special symbol 192 is hit and fluctuates, the fluctuation may end with the normal stage N, and the game may shift to a big hit game, that is, a special game. At the same time as the first special symbol 192 starts to change, there is a case in which the stage shifts to the precursor stage M to execute the “successful hitting advance notice mode” only once to shift to the big hit game. In the state c, since the second special symbol 193 is hit and fluctuates, the change may end with the normal stage N and shift to a big hit game. Also, at the same time as the start of the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 or after a predetermined time has passed, the stage shifts to the precursor stage M, and without changing to the “successful continuous notice mode”, only the effect by the background color and the character can be used for the big hit game. May migrate. Further, in the precursor stage M, after shifting to the “successful hitting continuous notice mode” and executing the continuous notice, there is a case of shifting to the big hit game. In particular, when the second special symbol 193 hits and fluctuates, as described above, the second symbol determination means 140 has the length that the variation display of the first special symbol 192 can include a plurality of times as the second special symbol 193. Since the variable time is often selected, it is possible to produce an effect with a large number of continuous notices and increase the player's expectation.

  In the state c, only the second special symbol 193 may change, and the first special symbol 192 may stop changing. In other words, the number of balls entering the first start port 62 and the third start port 67 and the number of holds by the first holding means 144 may become zero. In such a case, a big hit will occur with no change in the decorative symbol 200 on the effect display device 60 (state d). Therefore, the effect determining means 132 starts “countdown display”, for example, on the effect display device 60, and notifies the player that the second special symbol 193 is changing. In this case, on the effect display device 60, it is possible to produce a “sudden hit” indicating that the countdown starts without any prior notice and the big hit is confirmed, and the excitement level of the player can be increased.

  In addition, after shifting from the state a to the “no hit continuous notice mode” of the precursor stage M, the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 may hit and change during the “no hit continuous notice mode”. In this case, the effect determining means 132 can switch the effect state from the “no hit continuous notice mode” to the “success continuous notice mode”, and can make a transition to the big hit game after executing the continuous notice as appropriate.

  In addition, the first special symbol 192 may change when the second special symbol 193 changes in the state c or the state d. In this case, two hit fluctuations exist simultaneously. For example, the second symbol determining means 140 often selects a long variation pattern as the variation pattern of the second special symbol 193. For this reason, there is a possibility that the first special symbol 192 hits and starts changing while the second special symbol 193 is changing. By the way, the transition to the precursor stage M based on the hit fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 and the transition to the continuous notice mode are performed by the selection determining unit 165, the production start determining unit 166, the execution determining unit 167, and the like. This is performed at a timing that goes back a predetermined period from the fluctuation end timing. For example, the precursor stage M and the continuous notice mode can be started from the timing 60 seconds after the end of the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193. For this reason, the lottery result of the first special symbol 192 may be a hit before reaching the determined continuous notice occurrence timing. In this case, there is a high possibility that the variation result is displayed on the first special symbol 192 before the result on the second special symbol 193. In such a case, for example, the continuous notice is executed once from the hit variation of the first special symbol 192, and the continuous notice related to the second special symbol 193 is generated after the big hit game based on the first special symbol 192 is finished. . In addition, after the big hit game based on the winning of the first special symbol 192, the continuous notice based on the second special symbol 193 becomes possible, but the start timing of this continuous notice may be the timing determined earlier or the continuous notice again. The generation timing may be determined. As another case, in the state b, the second special symbol 193 may change during the first special symbol 192 variation. In this case, since the variation time of the first special symbol 192 is set to be shorter than that of the second special symbol 193, first, a continuous notice is given at the time of occurrence of a hit variation of the first special symbol 192 (once as a continuous notice). To implement. Then, if the lottery result of the second special symbol 193 is a win during the fluctuation of the first special symbol 192, the continuous notice relating to the second special symbol 193 is made after the big hit game based on the hit of the first special symbol 192. Execute at the determined start timing or reset timing.

  Thus, even when there are hits for both the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193, the individual effects do not overlap. Further, the player can be provided without losing the profits from winning the first special symbol 192 and the profits from winning the second special symbol 193.

  It should be noted that the probability of occurrence of the continuous notice mode can be determined based on the success / failure state of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193. For example, when the first special symbol 192 is hit and the second special symbol 193 is hit, the probability of occurrence of the continuous notice mode is the highest, the first special symbol 192 is removed, and the second special symbol 193 is hit. Next high. Next, the second special symbol 193 continues to be removed per first special symbol 192, and the first special symbol 192 is removed and the second special symbol 193 is removed as the state with the lowest probability. Note that the occurrence probability rank can be changed as appropriate.

  FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the fluctuation timing of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 and the precursor stage M. In the case of FIG. 5, an example is shown in which the precursor stage M is started based on the hit variation of the second special symbol 193. When the second special symbol 193 is a hit variation, the effect determination means 132 can select a variation time pattern of a length that the variation display of the first special symbol 192 can include a plurality of times. Since the effect determination means 132 recognizes the variation end timing of the second special symbol 193, it can start the precursor stage M from a timing that is a predetermined time later based on the variation end timing of the second special symbol 193. The effect in the precursor stage M changes, for example, the background when the decorative symbol 200 is variably displayed on the effect display device 60 from that in the normal stage N. For example, the normal blue background is changed to red. Further, a character that cannot appear in the normal stage N may be displayed at the precursor stage M together with the variation of the decorative symbol 200. As shown in FIG. 5, the first special symbol 192 repeatedly fluctuates a plurality of times during the production period of the precursor stage M. It is possible to raise the degree of expectation by giving the player the recognition that the big hit may be close by moving to the precursor stage M.

  In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the game form that the player mainly recognizes is the variation of the decorative symbol 200, that is, the variation of the first special symbol 192. Here, since the number of holdings that can be recognized by the first holding means 144 is a maximum of 4, in the effect using only the first special symbol 192, even if the prefetch prediction can be predicted, the effect that suggests winning is the first special symbol. It can only be done up to 192 four fluctuations. However, when the effect determining means 132 selects the variation pattern of the second special symbol 193 having a length that can include the variation display of the first special symbol 192 a plurality of times as in the present embodiment, the promised second Before the special symbol 193 is displayed, the hit suggestion display can be performed with the first special symbol 192 exceeding four times. That is, it is possible to produce the precursor stage M that suggests a hit from the variation start timing of the first special symbol 192 four or more times. In other words, it is possible to produce a display effect in advance in advance for a hit that occurs at a later fluctuation timing that is not held. In this way, in the conventional configuration, even if the prediction of the special symbol can be predicted, an effect with a predictive sign can be produced only from the decorative symbol 200 four times before, which is the maximum number of reservations. However, in the present embodiment, it is possible to perform the warning effect suggesting a win from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol 200 more than four times. As a result, it becomes possible to provide the player with a longer sign effect than before, and the game performance can be improved. The example of FIG. 5 shows an example in which the first special symbol 192 starts to change from the start timing of the first special symbol 192 to the precursor stage M after the start of the hit variation of the second special symbol 193. The thing with the fluctuation | variation of the 1st special symbol 192 of FIG. However, this transition timing can be arbitrarily determined by lottery or the like as long as the first special symbol 192 starts changing after the second special symbol 193 starts to change. As the stay period of the precursor stage M is longer, it becomes possible to increase the player's sense of expectation for hitting and contribute to improvement in game play. In FIG. 5, the seventh variation of the first special symbol 192 is temporarily stopped by the special diagram adjusting means 152. That is, based on the occurrence of the jackpot game due to the second special symbol 193 hit, the variation timer is temporarily stopped, and the state where the variation of the first special symbol 192 continues is shown. The special figure adjusting means 152 restarts the variation timer after the big hit game based on the second special symbol 193 is finished, and stops the first special symbol 192 after the variation time set in the first special symbol 192 has elapsed. .

  The precursor stage M that occurs when the second special symbol 193 is hit and fluctuates ends when the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 is stopped, and the big hit game is started on the effect display device 60. On the other hand, the second special symbol 193 can be shifted to the precursor stage M even when the second special symbol 193 fluctuates. In other words, it is possible to produce as if the big hit game is approaching. Also in this case, the precursor stage M ends when the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 is stopped. However, on the effect display device 60, the big hit game is not started, and the decorative symbol 200 based on the variation of the first special symbol 192 varies.

  The effect determining means 132 can also select a pattern related to the effect contents of the decorative design 200 displayed during the precursor stage M continuously several times. In this case, the continuous notice mode described with reference to FIG. By performing the continuous notice during the precursor stage M, the player's expectation can be further improved. It is not necessary to completely link the execution period of the precursor stage M and the execution period of the continuous notice mode. For example, the continuous notice effect may be implemented for 10 seconds immediately before the second special symbol 193 is stopped. . That is, a continuous notice may be generated from the middle of the precursor stage M. It is preferable to determine by lottery the timing at which the continuous notice starts and how long the continuous notice should be implemented. By determining the length and start timing of the continuous notice by lottery, different effects can be made each time, and the gameability can be improved.

  FIG. 6 is an example of a probability table used when moving to the precursor stage M. In the case of FIG. 6, “a precursor stage without a hit” and “a precursor stage with a hit” will be described. In the case of the present embodiment, it is assumed that the hit probability of the first special symbol 192 is, for example, 1/400, and the first special symbol 192 is changed six times on average per minute. In addition, the hit probability of the second special symbol 193 is, for example, 1/400, and the first special symbol 192 is changed twice on average per minute. The variation pattern selected by the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 based on the result of the first lottery and the second lottery is, for example, 5 seconds to 360 seconds, as shown in FIG. Each lot has a lottery probability.

  First, the case of shifting to the “precursor stage without winning” will be described. In the normal stage N, when the first special symbol 192 is out and a fluctuation pattern is acquired, a stage movement lottery is performed. In this stage transition lottery, the probability that the gaming state will stay in the normal stage N is, for example, 197/200 as shown in FIG. 6B, and the probability of transition to the precursor stage M is, for example, 3/200. . When the transition to the precursor stage M is decided at 3/200, the effect determining means 132 determines the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol 192 during the stay in the precursor stage M by lottery. When the first special symbol 192 moves to the precursor stage M due to detachment, the number of fluctuations during the precursor stage M stays is, for example, “10 times”, “20 times”, “30” as shown in FIG. It is decided from "times". The selection probabilities of these times are 50/100, 30/100, and 20/100, respectively. In this case, when acquiring the first warning symbol stage stay at the time of acquisition of the fluctuation pattern of a certain first special symbol 192, the fluctuation of the decorative symbol 200 based on the result of the first special symbol 192 for 30 times thereafter is the warning stage M. Implemented above. After transitioning to the precursor stage M, the stage transition lottery at the time of obtaining the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192 may be stopped until the determined number of stays is exhausted, or the precursor stage using a different probability table You may make it transfer to M from the normal stage N.

  Similarly, in the normal stage N, the stage movement lottery is also performed when the second special symbol 193 is removed and the fluctuation pattern is acquired. In this stage transition lottery, the probability that the gaming state will stay in the normal stage N is, for example, 197/200 as shown in FIG. 6B, and the probability of transition to the precursor stage M is, for example, 3/200. . When the transition to the precursor stage M is decided at 3/200, the effect determining means 132 determines the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol 192 during the stay in the precursor stage M by lottery. When the first special symbol 192 moves to the precursor stage M due to detachment, the number of fluctuations during the precursor stage M stays is, for example, “10 times”, “20 times”, “30” as shown in FIG. It is decided from "times". The selection probabilities of these times are 50/100, 30/100, and 20/100, respectively. In this case, when acquiring the first warning symbol stage stay at the time of acquisition of the fluctuation pattern of a certain first special symbol 192, the fluctuation of the decorative symbol 200 based on the result of the first special symbol 192 for 30 times thereafter is the warning stage M. Implemented above. After transitioning to the precursor stage M, the stage transition lottery at the time of obtaining the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192 may be stopped until the determined number of stays is exhausted, or the precursor stage using a different probability table You may make it transfer to M from the normal stage N.

  Next, the case of shifting to “a precursor stage with a hit” will be described. In the normal stage N, the stage movement lottery is also performed when the second special symbol 193 hits and acquires the fluctuation pattern. In this stage transition lottery, the probability that the gaming state will stay in the normal stage N is, for example, 10/200 as shown in FIG. 6B, and the probability of transition to the precursor stage M is, for example, 190/200. . In the case of the present embodiment, it is assumed that the user stays at the precursor stage M for the time of the variation pattern around the second special symbol 193. The effect determining means 132 may determine the staying time of the first special symbol 192 while staying at the precursor stage M using a separately drawn lottery table. In the case of the present embodiment, the variation pattern of the second special symbol 193 is selected with a probability of 25/100 for 60 seconds, 120 seconds, 240 seconds, and 360 seconds, respectively, and stays in the mid-fluctuation precursor stage M of the first special symbol 192 Will do. Note that the transition from the normal stage N to the precursor stage M is made when the change of the first special symbol 192 starts, so that the screen switching in the effect display device 60 can be smoothly performed.

  By the way, when the second special symbol 193 performs a hit variation, the main board 102 and the sub board 104 of the game control device 100 recognize the fluctuation stop timing of the second special symbol 193. That is, it can be estimated how many times the first special symbol 192 can change during the change of the second special symbol 193. That is, the display control means 134, when the variation display of the first special symbol 192 is repeated a plurality of times while the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed once, the jackpot is approaching according to the number of repetitions. It is possible to execute an effect that suggests, that is, an effect indicating “approach level”. For example, it is possible to improve the player's expectation level by displaying a message “Maybe hit by XX times!” Or by making a character that is difficult to appear normally appear. Moreover, the display control means 134 may perform the effect which raises the degree of jackpot suggestion in steps, so that the repetition frequency of the 1st special symbol 192 in the precursor stage M increases. For example, the background color of the decorative pattern 200 can be gradually increased step by step, or the number of characters appearing can be increased. The display control means 134 may display a specific number of times the first special symbol 192 fluctuates until a big hit by the second special symbol 193 occurs. In this case, it is easy for the player to visually recognize that the jackpot is approaching, the same effect as “countdown” can be obtained, and the expectation of the player can be further increased. Further, the display control unit 134 may display that the occurrence of the big hit is confirmed during the precursor stage M.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, when the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 acquires a deviation variation pattern, the stay length of the precursor stage M is determined by the number of variations of the first special symbol 192. Similarly to the case where the second special symbol 193 acquires the winning variation pattern, the time may be determined by the variation pattern time. In this case, the probability table of FIG.

  In this way, by suggesting the occurrence of a big hit at the precursor stage M, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation for the big hit and improve the gameability. It should be noted that whether or not the continuous notice is executed during the precursor stage M is determined each time by the selection determining unit 165, the production start determining unit 166, the execution determining unit 167, and the like. The variation of will increase.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the decoration display 200 mainly displaying the result of the first lottery (the first special symbol 192) is displayed on the effect display device 60. Then, when the variation of the first special symbol 192 is out of place and the variation of the second lottery is won, it is suggested that the second lottery is won from the decorative symbol 200 for the image displayed on the effect display device 60. Switch to the image. In this case, if the images are switched carelessly, the fluctuation of the first special symbol 192 may be cut off in the middle, which may give the player a sense of discomfort. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of delimiter points P1, P2, and P3 (for example, 3 points in this embodiment) are set in the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192. Then, the decorative symbol 200 is replaced with an image that suggests that the second lottery is a win. The delimiter points are set, for example, at predetermined second intervals in the pattern of the decorative symbol 200 displayed by one change of the first special symbol 192. Desirably, it is set at the break of the production scene. For example, in the case of a long reach production, the production scene changes two or three times. By switching to the image suggesting that the second lottery is a win at the transition timing of the effect scene, the images displayed on the effect display device 60 are continuous without any sense of incongruity.

  A specific image replacement procedure will be described with reference to FIG. In the case of the present embodiment, the shortest fluctuation time of the first special symbol 192 is set to 5 seconds, for example. That is, the production patterns A, B, C, and D separated by the delimitation points P1, P2, and P3 in the first special symbol 192 shown in FIG. 7 each have a variation time of 5 seconds or more. . In the case of FIG. 7, pattern A, pattern B, pattern C, and pattern D have the same variation time. However, depending on the development of the scene of the first special symbol 192, each variation time is an arbitrary value that is longer than the shortest variation time. It can be time. The sub board 104 side of the game control device 100 manages the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193. Therefore, the variation start timing, variation end timing, and breakpoint position of the first special symbol 192 are recognized. Similarly, the variation start timing and variation end timing of the second special symbol 193 are recognized. When the result of the second lottery is a win, the first special symbol 192 corresponding to the deviation is variably displayed while the second special symbol 193 corresponding to the win is variably displayed. Suppose you recognize that. In this case, the effect determination means 132 checks whether or not there is a break point after the shortest fluctuation time of the first special symbol 192, that is, a timing that is back by 5 seconds from the timing when the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 is stopped. . That is, in FIG. 7, it is checked whether or not the variation end timing of the second special symbol 193 exists at the timing after the break point P3 of the first special symbol 192, and the time X is less than 5 seconds. If there is a break point, that is, if the time X is less than 5 seconds, the length from the break point (P1 or P2) before that break point (P3) to the end time of the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 Set a variation pattern with substantially equal variation times. Then, by changing to the variation pattern, the decorative symbol 200 can be displayed to stop at substantially the same time as the second special symbol 193. For example, the display content of “pattern C + pattern D” of the first special symbol 192 is replaced with the hit effect content of the second special symbol 193 having the same length as “pattern C + X” at the break point P2. By performing such image replacement, even when the decoration symbol 200 corresponding to the variation of the first special symbol 192 is being changed, an image that suggests the hit of the second special symbol 193 is replaced. A sense of incongruity can be eliminated. That is, the variable display of the decorative symbol 200 that was going to be displayed out of place is replaced with a variable display that indicates a hit based on the second special symbol 193 from the break point during the variation. As a result, it is possible to stop the decoration symbol 200 that is supposed to stop changing in a disengagement manner in a hit manner based on the second special symbol 193. In this way, it is possible to produce an effect with a sense of profit such that the result of the first lottery that actually deviates from the lottery changes and a big hit has occurred, and the production variation can be increased. Note that the image replacement may be executed at the separation point P1. In this case, the length of the hit effect image of the second special symbol 193 is the same as “pattern B + pattern C + X”.

  As a variation pattern used when the decorative symbol 200 is variably displayed, a semi-stop mode in which the symbol variation is temporarily stopped may be used as a transitional scene for suggesting the development of the content being displayed. This semi-stop state is exactly the switching point of the production scene. Therefore, by setting the above-described break point as a point where the semi-stop mode is displayed, an image suggesting that the second special symbol 193 is hit can be displayed as an effect after the semi-stop. In this case, the player can easily recognize that the second special symbol 193 is the first special symbol 192. As a result, the player can play the game with the same feeling as the conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machine, regardless of the presence of a plurality of games. Also, since the content of the effect originally set after the semi-stop mode is not recognized by the player, the effect can be improved by replacing the pattern with the effect of the hit mode based on the second special symbol 193 at the point where the semi-stop mode is displayed. The feeling of discomfort can be eliminated. In addition, when changing a change pattern, the end timing of the change time of the 1st special symbol 192 may differ from the end timing of the pattern to replace. In this case, the error between the two can be corrected using the symbol fixed time included in the variation pattern (the time when the symbol is last displayed and stopped), for example, 0.6 seconds. Both fluctuation end timings can be adjusted.

  In addition, there may be a case where the display of the variation of the first special symbol 192 is newly started after the timing that is traced back by the shortest variation time of the first special symbol 192 from the timing at which the variation of the second special symbol 193 is stopped. For example, in FIG. 7, the variation of the first special symbol 192 may end at the timing of P3, and then the next variation of the first special symbol 192 may be started. Since the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the first special symbol 192 stopped first completes the production as usual, the decorative symbol 200 based on the first special symbol 192 that starts to change thereafter is based on the second special symbol 193 from the beginning. Replace with a pattern that includes an aspect effect. That is, the newly started variation pattern of the first special symbol 192 is replaced with the variation pattern corresponding to the second special symbol 193. Also in this case, the variation pattern corresponding to the second special symbol 193 can be displayed on the effect display device 60 without a sense of incongruity following the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the first special symbol 192. That is, the replacement with the pattern including the effect of the hit mode based on the second special symbol can be smoothly performed. As a result, the player can play the game with the same feeling as the conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machine, regardless of the presence of a plurality of games.

  FIG. 8 shows a display example of the decorative symbol 200 and the effect image on the effect display device 60. FIG. 8A shows a display example during the normal stage N. FIG. In the normal stage N, the decoration symbol 200 based on the first special symbol 192 is normally displayed in a variable manner, and the display related to the second special symbol 193 displays the auxiliary screen only when the second special symbol 193 is hit. To indicate that the second special symbol 193 is hit. In addition, on the lower left part of the screen of the effect display device 60, a reserved ball effect symbol 202 corresponding to the first special figure hold lamp 20 is displayed, and the player mainly indicates that the game based on the first special symbol 192 is being executed. To make you recognize.

  FIG. 8B shows an example in which when the first special symbol 192 is won, the decorative symbol 200 is stationary by a combination of winning symbols. As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8C shows the decoration at any of the break points when the second special symbol 193 is hit while the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the first special symbol 192 is changing. It is the effect image regarding the 2nd special symbol 193 replaced with the symbol 200. In the case of this example, the effect image is replaced such that a mini game imitating a slot machine is executed. As described above, since the replacement is performed when the scene of the decorative design 200 is switched or in a semi-stop state, the replacement of the image can be performed smoothly without any sense of incongruity. Note that an image showing the variation of the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the first special symbol 192 is displayed in the lower right portion of the screen, and a reserved ball effect symbol 202 is displayed in the lower left portion. Therefore, the effect display device 60 additionally displays the auxiliary image related to the second special symbol 193 while continuing to display the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the first special symbol 192.

  FIG. 8D shows a state where the effect image of FIG. 8C is developed. In this case, the fact that the second special symbol 193 has been won is displayed by displaying a display mode without a decorative symbol corresponding to the second special symbol 193, for example, a result of a mini game imitating a slot machine, in an effect image. Informing the player. Also in this case, the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the changing first special symbol 192 is variably displayed at a position above the effect image.

  By the way, the effect display based on the winning of the second special symbol 193 is executed, the first special symbol 192 is the winning, and the first special symbol 192 is displayed before the result display of the second special symbol 193. The decorative pattern 200 may be stopped. That is, it may be necessary to notify the player of the double hit. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8E, the decorative symbol 200 is variably stopped in the effect screen. In addition, it is possible to express that the second special symbol 193 is also hit as an effect image by using a part of the symbol combination of the decorative symbol 200 that has stopped. On the effect display device 60, only the decorative symbol 200 corresponding to the first special symbol 192 is variably displayed, and the result of the second special symbol 193 is additionally shown as an effect image 203. That is, two types of lottery results are displayed using the symbol combination of one decorative symbol 200. In the case of FIG. 8E, the effect image 203 is represented by “777” diagonally arranged using a part of the decorative design 200. As a result, the player can recognize that a big hit for two times has been obtained with a single symbol variation, which has not existed until now, in a gaming machine recognized as equivalent to the conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machine. Become. As a result, a new game can be provided to the player.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a basic operation process in the pachinko gaming machine 10. First, when the game ball wins the first start port 62, the second start port 63, the third start port 67, the general winning port 72, the big winning port 66, or the like, or when the game ball passes the operating port 68 The process is executed (S10). If it is not in a special game (N in S12), a control process for a normal game such as a winning lottery is executed (S14), and if it is in a special game (Y in S12), a special game control process is executed (S16). . Subsequently, prize ball payout according to various winnings in the processes from S10 to S16 is processed (S18).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing in detail the winning process of S10 in FIG. When the first start port 62 or the third start port 67 is won (Y in S50) and the hold in the first holding means 144 does not exceed the upper limit (Y in S52), the first holding means 144 The first success / failure lottery value is stored (S56). If there is no winning at the first start port 62 or the third start port 67 at S50 (N at S50), the processing at S52 and S56 is skipped. In S52, if the first start port 62 or the third start port 67 has been won but its retention exceeds the upper limit number of the first reservation means 144 (N in S52), the process of S56 is skipped. Next, in the case where a winning is made to the second starting port 63 (Y in S58), and the holding in the second holding means 146 does not exceed the upper limit (Y in S60), the second holding means 146 receives the second holding The winning / bad lottery value is stored (S62). If there is no winning at the second starting port 63 in S58 (N of S58), the processing of S60 and S62 is skipped. In S60, if the winning is made to the second starting port 63 but the holding exceeds the upper limit number of the second holding means 146 (N of S60), the process of S62 is skipped. Next, when the game ball has passed to the operating port 68 (Y in S63), and the hold in the general figure holding means 147 does not exceed the upper limit (Y in S64), the normal figure holding means 147 is normally shown. A lottery value is stored (S65). If there is no game ball passing through the operation port 68 in S63 (N in S63), the processes in S64 and S65 are skipped. If the game ball has passed through the operating port 68 in S64 but its holding exceeds the upper limit number of the normal holding means 147 (N in S64), the process of S65 is skipped.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing in detail the normal game control process of S14 in FIG. First, the variation display of the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 200 is processed (S67), the variation display of the second special symbol 193 and the result symbol 201 is processed (S68), and the variation display of the normal symbol is processed (S69). ). Note that the processing order of S67, S68, and S69 is merely an order defined for convenience of explanation, and processing may be performed in any order. As described above, the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 can be displayed in a variable manner simultaneously, and the decorative symbol 200 and the result symbol 201 can also be displayed in a variable manner simultaneously. However, since the result symbol 201 is less conspicuous than the ornament symbol 200, the player mainly enjoys the game while confirming the ornament symbol 200 displayed on the effect display device 60.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing in detail the special game control process of S16 in FIG. First, if the big prize opening 66 has not been opened (N in S70), the display control means 134 starts special game effect processing (S72), and the opening / closing control means 124 opens the big prize opening 66 (S74). . If the big winning opening 66 has been opened, the processing of S72 and S74 is skipped (Y of S70). When the predetermined opening time has elapsed after the grand prize winning opening 66 is opened (Y in S76), or the opening time has not elapsed (N in S76), the number of balls entered into the big winning opening 66 is 9 When reaching the ball or more (Y in S78), the opening / closing control means 124 closes the special winning opening 66 (S80). If the opening time has not elapsed (N in S76) and the number of balls entered into the grand prize winning opening 66 has not reached nine or more (N in S78), the processing after S80 is skipped and the flow of S16 Exit.

  If the number of rounds of the unit game has reached 15 after the closing of the special winning opening 66 in S80 (Y in S82), the display control means 134 ends the special game effect processing (S84), and the special game control means 120. Ends the special game (S86). If the number of rounds has not reached 15 (N in S82), 1 is added to the number of rounds and the flow of S16 is terminated (S90).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing in detail the process of the first symbol of S67 in FIG. The process of S67 shows the variable display of the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 200. If the lottery value is held in the first holding means 144 (Y in S30), if the symbol variation is not being displayed (N in S32), the winning / not-lotting means 112 executes a winning / nothing determination process (S33). In accordance with the result of this success / failure determination process, a precursor effect process (S34), a continuous notice process (S35), an approach level process (S36), and a replacement process (S37) are performed in the effect display device 60. The change display is started according to the change pattern corresponding to the change (S38). If the lottery value is not held in S30 (N in S30), the processing from S32 to S38 is skipped, and if the symbol variation is being displayed in S32 (Y in S32), from S33 to S38 Is skipped. Subsequently, if the symbol variation display has already been started (Y in S39), the symbol variation display is processed (S40). After S40, when the second special symbol 193 or the result symbol 201 is stopped in a hit state (Y in S41), the timer for measuring the variation time of the first special symbol 192 or the decorative symbol 200 being displayed is temporarily stopped. (S42). If the second special symbol 193 or the result symbol 201 is not stopped in the hit state in S41 (N in S41), the process of S42 is skipped. If the variable time timer is paused (Y in S43) and after the special game is over (Y in S44), the pause of the timer is released (S45). In S43, when the timer is not paused (N in S43), the processes in S44 and S45 are skipped. In S44, if the special game has not ended (N in S44), the process of S45 is skipped. Subsequently, end processing of each effect processed in S34 to S37 is performed (S46). Then, in the first symbol processing, when the predetermined variation time has elapsed and the symbol display stop timing is reached (Y in S47), the symbol variation being displayed is stopped (S48). If the symbol display stop timing has not been reached in S47 (N in S47), the process in S48 is skipped. When the symbol variation display is not started in S39 (N in S39), the processing from S40 to S48 is skipped, and the first symbol processing in S67 is ended.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing in detail the processing of the second symbol of S68 in FIG. As the processing of S68, the variable display of the second special symbol 193 and the result symbol 201 is shown. When the lottery value is being held in the second holding means 146 (Y in S90), if the symbol variation is not being displayed (N in S91), the winning / not-lotting means 112 executes a winning / nothing determination process (S92). Variation display is started according to the variation pattern corresponding to the determination result (S93). If the lottery value is not held in S90 (N of S90), the processing from S91 to S93 is skipped, and if the symbol variation is being displayed in S91 (Y of S91), the processing of S92 and S93 Processing is skipped. Subsequently, if the symbol variation display has already been started (Y in S94), the symbol variation display is processed (S95). After S95, when the first special symbol 192 or the decorative symbol 200 is stopped in a hit state (Y in S96), a timer for measuring the variation time of the displayed symbol variation is temporarily stopped (S97). If the first special symbol 192 or the decorative symbol 200 is not stopped in the hit state in S96 (N in S96), the process of S97 is skipped. If the variable time timer is paused (Y in S98) and after the special game is over (Y in S99), the pause of the timer is released (S100). When the predetermined variation time has elapsed and the symbol display stop timing is reached (Y in S101), the symbol variation being displayed is stopped (S102). If the symbol display stop timing has not been reached in S101 (N in S101), the process in S102 is skipped. When the symbol variation display is not started in S94 (N in S94), the processing from S95 to S102 is skipped. If the timer is not paused in S98 (N in S98), the processes in S99 and S100 are skipped. In S99, when the special game has not ended (N in S99), the process of S100 is skipped.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the precursor effect process of S34 in FIG. When the effect display unit 132 is not currently performing the precursor effect (N in S110), the probability table of FIG. 6B indicates whether or not to perform the precursor effect, that is, whether or not to move to the precursor stage M. Determine according to the probability of. Then, when the precursor effect is performed (Y in S111), the end condition of the precursor effect is determined according to the probability in the probability table shown in FIG. 6A or 6C (S112). For example, when the second special symbol 193 is a hit variation, the variation pattern time is determined according to the probability of the probability table of FIG. This variation pattern becomes the duration (end condition) of the precursor effect. Also, when the second special symbol 193 is out-of-shift, the time of the precursor effect (end condition) is determined according to the number of changes in the first special symbol 192 according to the probability in the probability table of FIG. After the end condition is determined, the display control means 134 starts the sign effect such as changing the background color in the effect display device 60 when it is the start time of the sign effect (S113). . Note that. In S110, when the indication effect is being performed, the processing from S111 to S114 is skipped. In S111, when the lottery result does not shift to the precursor stage M, the processing from S112 to S114 is skipped. In S113, when the start timing of the sign effect is not reached, the process of S114 is skipped.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the continuous notice process of S35 in FIG. The effect determining means 132 is currently performing a precursor effect (Y in S120), and if the continuous notice is not executed (N in S121), the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are changed according to the state of success / failure change. Decide whether to implement continuous notice. When performing the continuous notice (Y of S122), the selection determining unit 165 determines specific notice contents such as the duration of the continuous notice, the contents of the continuous notice, and whether or not to select a related pattern ( S123). Furthermore, it is determined by the production start determining means 166 and the execution determining means 167 whether or not the continuous notice is actually started, and at what timing, and when the start time of the continuous notice comes (Y in S124), Continuous notice is started by the display control means 134 (S125). Note that, in S120, when the precursor effect is not being performed (N in S120), the processing from S121 to S125 is skipped. In S121, when continuous notice is being given (Y in S121), the processing from S122 to S125 is skipped. Furthermore, when it is determined in S122 that continuous notice is not to be executed (N in S122), the processing from S123 to S125 is skipped. Further, in S124, when it is not the start timing of the continuous notice (N in S124), the process of S125 is skipped.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the details of the approach level process of S36 in FIG. When the current effect state is the precursor effect (Y of S130), the effect determining means 132 increments the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol 192 during the precursor effect (S131). Then, when the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol 192 during the sign production exceeds a predetermined reference number (S132), the display control means 134 displays an approach level, for example, “It may be a big hit in XX times!”. A message is displayed (S133). It should be noted that the reference number for determining whether or not to display the approach level can be determined by lottery or the like every time the sign stage M is entered. As a result, the display content of the approach level is changed as appropriate, and the expectation of big hits and game play can be changed. Note that, in S130, when the precursor effect is not performed (N in S130), the processing from S131 to S133 is skipped. In S132, when the number of fluctuations does not exceed the reference number (N in S132), the process in S133 is skipped.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating details of the replacement process in S37 in FIG. When the second special symbol 193 is hit and fluctuates (Y in S140), the effect determining means 132 confirms whether or not the fluctuation of the first special symbol 192 is finished before the end of the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193. I do. If the change of the first special symbol 192 does not end before the end of the change of the second special symbol 193 (N of S141), that is, the change of the second special symbol 193 ends before the first special symbol 192. In this case, the effect determining unit 132 replaces the image with respect to the decorative design 200. That is, as described with reference to FIG. 7, the variation pattern suggesting the hit of the second special symbol 193 determined based on the end timing of the second special symbol 193 and the position of the separation point is replaced with the separation point (S142). ). In S140, when the second special symbol 193 is not hit and fluctuated (N in S140), the fluctuation result of the second special symbol 193 does not hinder the fluctuation of the decorative symbol 200 in the effect display device 60. Skip processing. In S141, when the variation of the first special symbol 192 is completed before the end of the variation of the second special symbol 193, the suggestion display of the variation result of the second special symbol 193 does not inhibit the variation of the decorative symbol 200. , S142 is skipped. That is, an image suggesting that the second special symbol 193 is hit is displayed in a scene where the decorative symbol 200 does not change. In addition, even if the change of the first special symbol 192 is finished before the end of the change of the second special symbol 193, the next change of the first special symbol 192 is started during the change of the second special symbol 193. Then, the variation pattern of the entire first special symbol 192 is replaced with a pattern suggesting that the second special symbol 193 is hit.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing details of the effect end processing in S46 in FIG. The display control unit 134 monitors whether or not an effect end condition is satisfied for each effect such as the precursor effect process, the continuous notice process, the approach level process, and the replacement process (Y or N in S150). . For example, it is monitored whether the hit fluctuation of the first special symbol 192 or the hit fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 has stopped. When the winning variation stops, the big hit game is started, so it is determined that the effect end condition is satisfied (Y in S150), and each effect process in the effect display device 60 is ended (S151). Also, in the case of the sign production process, if the stay time of the sign stage M or the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol 192 exceeds the value determined in the lottery, it is determined that the production end condition is satisfied (Y in S150) ), The production ends. In the case of continuous notice, when the set number of notices is over, it is determined that the effect end condition is satisfied (Y in S150), and the effect ends. In the case of the approach level, when the set approach display ends, it is determined that the effect end condition is satisfied (Y in S150), and the effect ends. Also in the case of pattern replacement, when the change of the replaced variation pattern is completed, it is determined that the effect end condition is satisfied (Y in S150), and the effect is ended. In S150, when the effect end condition is not satisfied (N in S150), S151 is skipped and the effect being executed is continued.

  In the above, this invention was demonstrated based on the Example. This embodiment is merely an example, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the combination of each component and each processing process, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention. is there. Hereinafter, modifications will be described.

  In each Example, the example which used the display apparatus of a different form as the 1st special symbol display apparatus 70 and the 2nd special symbol display apparatus 71 was demonstrated, respectively. That is, an example in which a 7-segment LED display device is used as the first special symbol display device 70 and a device that displays two types of marks “O” and “X” as the second special symbol display device 71 has been described. In the modification, as the first special symbol display device 70 and the second special symbol display device 71, display devices having the same form may be used. For example, as the first special symbol display device 70 and the second special symbol display device 71, both may use a 7-segment LED display device, or as the first special symbol display device 70 and the second special symbol display device 71, Both may be configured to use other types of display devices. Thereby, the 1st symbol range table and the 2nd symbol range table referred when determining the 1st special symbol 192 and the 2nd special symbol 193 can be made common to one symbol range table, and composition and processing are simplified. be able to. Further, if a 7-segment LED display device similar to the first special symbol display device 70 is used as the second special symbol display device 71, the transition to probability change, the number of unit games and the opening time of the second special game are specially set. Even if the lottery is not executed, it can be determined according to the second special symbol 193, and the configuration and processing can be simplified.

  Further, in each embodiment, the first symbol determination means 138 is associated with the first variation table 302 so that the variation time of the first special symbol 192 that is shorter than the variation time of the second special symbol 193 is selected. An example of holding a different pattern is shown. In addition, the second symbol determining means 140 holds, as the second variation table 303, a pattern associated with the variation time of the second special symbol 193 that is longer than the variation time of the first special symbol 192. showed that. However, the first variation table 302 and the second variation table 303 may hold other patterns, and the pattern to be selected may be changed according to the gaming state. For example, during normal game, as described above, the first symbol determination means 138 causes the first variation table 302 to display a pattern in which the variation time of the first special symbol 192 is relatively shorter than the variation time of the second special symbol 193. select. Further, the second symbol determining means 140 selects from the second variation table 303 a pattern in which the variation time of the second special symbol 193 is relatively longer than the variation time of the first special symbol 192. On the other hand, on the contrary, during the probability variation game, the first symbol determining means 138 selects from the first variation table 302 a pattern in which the variation time of the first special symbol 192 is relatively longer than the variation time of the second special symbol 193. You may make it do. Alternatively, the second symbol determining means 140 may select a pattern from the second variation table 303 that has a variation time of the second special symbol 193 that is relatively shorter than the variation time of the first special symbol 192. In addition, as a pattern to be selected, for example, a pattern that tends to reach, or a pattern in which a premier character or background easily appears may be selected. Whether the first symbol determining means 138 can easily select such a pattern or the second symbol determining means 140 can be easily selected may be switched according to the gaming state.
