Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

  The most popular pachinko machines are now called “special symbols (main game symbols)” on the 7-segment display, etc., when a game ball enters the start opening (start chucker). When the symbol is displayed in a variable manner and the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the special gaming state in which the player is in a profit state higher than the normal gaming state {the big winning opening (normally closed) ( This is a model called “Digipachi” (conventional “first-class game machine”) of a type that shifts to a game of contents that the attacker) releases under a predetermined condition}. Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of special symbols that are directly linked to the interests of the player, in addition to the aforementioned “special symbols”, it is referred to as “decorative symbols” for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game. The symbol to be displayed is variably displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in a form synchronized with the variation of the special symbol. And when the change of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also starts to change accordingly, and when the special symbol stops in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the decorative symbol also changes to the predetermined mode (for example, “777”). Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game has been confirmed because the decorative symbol has stopped in a predetermined manner.

Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, the notice effect is one of them, and a specific character or the like is displayed between the start of the symbol change and the stop of the symbol (typically, from the start of the symbol change to the reach state). It is an effect to display in advance that there is a high possibility of developing into a reach, a possibility of developing into a super reach, and a high probability of winning a jackpot. This notice effect includes the contents of the “predicted change notice effect” for notifying or suggesting a big hit in the change and the content of the reserved ball (pending random value) that has not yet been approved for symbol change. If there is a holding ball (trigger holding) that has a high probability of jackpot, the jackpot will be notified or suggested in the symbol variation that is digested before the holding ball with a high probability of jackpot. There is a “hold prefetching notice effect”.
Patent 3795035

  The mission effect disclosed in Patent Document 1 is one of them. Here, the mission effect is to notify the player of a predetermined period and a predetermined mission achievement condition within the predetermined period, and to determine whether or not the mission achievement condition is satisfied as the game progresses. By notifying the player, this is an effect for enhancing the player's sense of achievement when the mission achievement conditions are satisfied and improving the fun of the game. However, since such a mission effect is an effect method that has been used more often than ever before, it has become an effect that makes the player feel no freshness, and the need to create a new effect method has increased.

  First, the meaning of each term in the claims and the present specification will be described. First, “entering a ball” includes not only a winning in which a winning ball is paid out but also a passage to a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. “Easy to win” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in, or a state in which it is easier to flow in compared to a state in which it is not easy to win. It refers to the state where game balls are difficult to flow in compared to the state. Here, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), the open state = easy-to-win state and the closed state = non-easy-to-win state. Further, for example, in a configuration that can take a state of protruding from the game board (player side) and a state of being retracted into the game board (opposite side of the player side) (so-called velo-type attacker), the protruding state = The winning state is easy, and the retracted state is the non-winning state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “game information” may be the random number of the basic random number itself, or may be information relating to the game progress derived based on the basic random number.

Because it is done. In the case of Yes in step 1352, in step 1354, the hold prefetch control unit 1133 reads the main game side random number in all hold temporarily stored in the main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131 a. Next, in step 1356, the hold look-ahead control means 1133 refers to the main game jackpot lottery table 1135b-1 based on the main game side random number (winning random number) and the game state for all holds, and determines whether or not the main game symbol is successful. Read ahead. Next, in step 1358, the hold prefetch control means 1133 sets the main game-side random numbers (for example, main game symbol determination random numbers, variation mode determination random numbers), the success / failure results, the game state, the time-count counter value and the hold for all the holds. Based on the number of balls, each lottery table in the main game symbol content determination lottery table 1141a is referred to, and a stop symbol and a variation mode regarding the main game symbol are prefetched. Then, at step 1360, the information transmission control means 1200 transmits the prefetch information (all pending) to the effect display control means 2150 side, and shifts to the next process (main game symbol display process at step 1400). In the case of No in step 1352, the process proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in step 1400). Note that the pre-read information transmitted to the effect display control means side is not particularly limited as long as it is necessary and sufficient information to determine whether or not the notice display control means 2150 has received the notice, for example, each random value, A value obtained by grouping random values, winning / failing information, gaming state, variation mode information, variation time information, and symbol information can be listed. However, when transmitting each random number value and the grouped value to the effect display control means 2150 side, the effect display control means 2150 side needs to be provided with means for prefetching the result of the success / failure etc. from the random number value or the like. Further, in the present embodiment, the pre-read information is transmitted to the effect display control means 2150 when the reservation pre-read condition is satisfied. For example, a game ball enters the main game start port 2110. Each time, (1) the pre-read information may be transmitted to the effect display control means 2150 side, or (2) the main game side random number is transmitted to the effect display control means 2150 side, and the effect display control means 2150 side. Then, the processing from Step 1352 to Step 1358 (similar processing) may be executed.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1402, the main game symbol content determining means 1141 determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the variation start condition is that the special game or the main game symbol is not varied.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, the main game symbol content determination means 1141 reads the main game side random number related to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a. Next, at step 1406, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 refers to the main game big hit lottery table 1135b-1 and the main game small hit lottery table 1135b-2 based on the main game side random number (winning random number) and the game state. The main game symbol winning / losing (big hit, small win) lottery is executed. In the case of winning / not-winning lottery, the big hit lottery is executed with reference to the big hit lottery table first, and when the big hit lottery is shifted, the small hit lottery is executed with reference to the small hit lottery table. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a turns on the hit flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the main game symbol content determination means 1141 refers to each lottery table in the main game symbol content determination lottery table 1141 a, and selects a main game side random number (for example, a main game symbol determination random number, a variation mode determination random number). ) To determine a stop symbol and a variation mode related to the main game symbol, and temporarily store them in the main game related information temporary storage means 1191b. The table to be referred to is determined based on the result of success / failure, the gaming state, and the number of reserved balls (the same applies to the following). In addition, there are big hits and small hits with respect to hits, but as long as the stop symbol and the variation mode are selected in a distinguished manner, the display contents are determined using separate tables. Alternatively, the display content may be determined using the same table (the same applies to the following). Next, in step 1414, the information transmission control unit 1200 transmits the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the main game symbol determined in step 1412 to the effect display control unit 2150 side. To do. Next, at step 1416, the main game symbol variation time management means 1151a sets a predetermined time (the variation time according to the variation mode determined at step 1412) to the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1. In step 1418, the main game symbol display control means 1151 follows the main game symbol on the main game symbol display unit 2131 of the main game symbol display device 2130 according to the variation mode stored in the main game related information temporary storage means 1191b. Start displaying fluctuations. Next, in step 1420, the main game symbol display control means 1151 turns on the changing flag in the temporary flag storage means 1191a. In step 1422, the main game symbol variation time management means 1151a determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission control unit 1200 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect display control unit 2150 side. Next, in step 1426, the main game symbol display control unit 1151 stops the main game symbol display on the main game symbol display unit 2131 of the main game symbol display device 2130, and the main game related information temporary storage unit 1191b. Display control is performed with the stop symbol stored in the table as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1428, the main game symbol display control means 1151 turns off the changing flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 1430, the main game symbol variation time management means 1151a resets the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1. Next, at step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process at step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1432, the main game symbol display control means 1151 refers to the temporary flag storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1432, the process proceeds to step 1422, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a and determines whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192a and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). Transition. In addition, also when it is No in step 1452 and step 1456, it transfers to the following process (special game operation condition determination process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the flag temporary storage unit 1191a to determine whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination means 1171 determines whether or not the main game symbol displayed on the main game symbol display unit 2131 of the main game symbol display device 2130 has stopped in a predetermined manner. . In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506, the special game content determination means 1172 refers to the special game content determination reference table 1172a on the basis of the predetermined mode, so that the special game content information is temporarily stored. Set in storage means 1191c. Next, in step 1508, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the predetermined mode is not a small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510 and step 1512, the specific game control unit 1180 determines the specific game flag (the probability variation flag in the flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the time reduction flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage unit 1192). Is temporarily turned off, and the time reduction counter 1181a is reset (time reduction counter value = 0). Then, in step 1514 and step 1516, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a and turns off the winning flag, and the next process (special game control process in step 1600). Migrate to In the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600), and in the case of No in step 1508, the process proceeds to step 1514.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission control unit 1200 transmits information (special game start display instruction information) instructing the start display of the special game to the effect display control unit 2150 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 determines that the special game permission is not granted, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 1700).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the flag temporary storage means 1191a and determines whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. . If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1624 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution means 1173 sets the release pattern (for example, release) set in the special game related information temporary storage means 1191c. (For example, an opening pattern of 0.5 second opening → 0.8 second closing → 0.5 second opening is set as an opening pattern for small hits). Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1191c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1191c. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage means 1191c is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time the rounds are repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. In step 1622, the special game executing means 1173 drives the special prize opening electric accessory 2122 of the special prize opening 2120 to open the special prize opening 2120, and the process proceeds to step 1624.

  Next, in step 1624, the information transmission control means 1200 transmits the current game state information (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) to the effect display control means 2150 side. In step 1626, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1191c to determine whether or not there is a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 1700).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the big prize opening electric accessory 2122 of the big prize opening 2120 and closes the big prize opening 2120. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. Next, in step 1636, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1191c, and the round is a final round (for example, 15 rounds when the probability variation jackpot and the time shortening variation jackpot, suddenly It is determined whether or not there are 2 rounds in the case of the probability variation big hit and 1 round in the case of the small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission control means 1200 transmits information (special game end display instruction information) instructing the end display of the special game to the effect display control means 2150 side. In step 1650, the game control means 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (a prize ball payout process in step 1700). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 1700).

Next, in step 2400, the effect display control means 2150 executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2500, the effect display control means 2150 executes a notice effect display content determination process to be described later. Next, in step 2600, the effect display control means 2150 executes a decorative symbol display control process described later. In step 2800, the effect display control unit 2150 executes a special game display control process described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 2100. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the hold information management process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the drawing hold information display control unit 2152b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not hold information is received from the main control device 1000 side. If Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the drawing hold information display control unit 2152b adds “1” to the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2152b-1-1. Next, in step 2106, the drawing hold information display control unit 2152b refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2151a, and determines the preliminary determination information received from the main control device 1000 side (the information transmitted in step 1360 in FIG. 8). ), The preliminary determination information temporarily stored in the preliminary determination information temporary storage means 2152c-1 is updated. In step 2120, the effect display control means 2150 makes full use of the effect display device 2140, and the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152b-1-1 is displayed on the drawing hold display unit 2142. The same number of hold displays are executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (hold prefetch effect execution availability determination process in step 2200). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2102, in step 2110, the drawing hold information display control unit 2152b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not new symbol information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. Determine. If Yes in step 2110, in step 2112, the drawing hold information display control means 2152b subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152b-1-1. Next, in step 2114, the drawing suspension information display control unit 2152b deletes the preliminary determination information related to the symbol variation from the preliminary determination information temporarily stored in the preliminary determination information temporary storage unit 2152c-1. In addition, the remaining prior determination information is shifted). In step 2116, the drawing hold information display control means 2152b turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and proceeds to the next process (hold prefetch information management process in step 2200). To do. Even in the case of No in step 2110, the process proceeds to the next process (holding prefetch information management process in step 2200).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2200 of FIG. First, in step 2202, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152b-1-1 and determines whether or not a new hold has occurred. In the case of Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d determines whether or not the continuous effect execution continuation flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is off. Here, the continuous effect execution continuation flag is a flag that is turned on when an effect is continuously generated (continuous effect) over a plurality of symbol variations. In the case of Yes in step 2204, in step 2206, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d refers to the advance determination information temporarily stored in the advance determination information temporary storage means 2152c-1, and the winning / failing lottery result is won. It is determined whether or not there is a scheduled hold (per hold). In the case of Yes in step 2206, in step 2208, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d refers to the pre-determination information temporarily stored in the pre-determination information temporary storage means 2152c-1, and before the pertinent depletion of the hit hold. It is determined whether there is a hold of “1” or more. In the case of Yes in step 2208, in step 2210, the hold prefetching effect display control means 2152d holds the hit hold as a trigger for generating a continuous effect based on a predetermined lottery probability (for example, 1/2) (trigger hold). A lottery (trigger hold occurrence lottery) for determining whether or not to be executed is executed. Next, in step 2212, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d determines whether or not the trigger hold occurrence lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2212, in step 2214, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d determines the hit hold as the trigger hold. Next, in step 2230, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d determines the number of hold until reaching the determined trigger hold (for example, 3 when the third hold is determined as the trigger hold). Is set to the continuous effect execution count counter value Cg in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in step 2232, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d turns on the continuous effect execution continuation flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display content determination process in step 2400). Transition.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2206, in step 2222, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d determines whether the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152b-1-1 is “2” or more. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2222, in step 2224, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152 d is based on a predetermined lottery probability (for example, 1/20), whichever is the second or later of the current hold (in other words, A lottery (trigger hold occurrence lottery) is executed to determine whether or not the second or subsequent loss hold) is set as a trigger hold. Next, in step 2226, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d determines whether or not the trigger hold occurrence lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2226, in step 2228, the hold prefetch effect display control means 2152d determines the hold (miss hold) as the trigger hold, and proceeds to step 2230.

  In the case of No in step 2202, step 2204, step 2208, step 2212, step 2222 or step 2226, the process proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display content determination process in step 2400).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is on. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in step 2406, the drawing display content determination unit 2152a-1 refers to the drawing stop symbol determination reference based on the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a. With reference to the table 2152a-1-1 and the drawing variation mode determination reference table 2152a-1-2, the stop symbol and variation mode of the decorative symbol are determined, and the determined content is stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152c. Temporarily store. Note that the main-side information used in this process is not indeterminate information related to hold prefetching (that is, information transmitted in step 1360 in FIG. 8), but fixed information at the time when the hold is consumed (ie, information sent in step 1360). , Information in step 1414 of FIG. 9). It should be noted that the stop symbol / variation mode from the main controller 1000 side (that is, the stop symbol / variation mode of the main game symbol) and the stop symbol / variation mode determined by the effect display control means 2150 side (that is, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol) The variation mode does not have to be one-to-one correspondence. For example, the variation display ratio on the production display control means 2150 side may have a plurality of patterns with respect to one variation mode from the main controller 1000 side. . Next, in step 2408, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 turns on the symbol content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and performs the next processing (notification effect display content determination processing in step 2500). Migrate to Even in the case of No in step 2402, the process proceeds to the next process (the notice effect display content determination process in step 2500).

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the notice effect display content determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the notice effect display control means 2152e determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is on. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the notice effect display control means 2152e determines whether or not the continuous effect execution continuation flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is on. In the case of Yes in step 2504, in step 2506, the notice effect display control means 2152e subtracts 1 from the continuous effect execution number counter value Cg in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in step 2508, the notice effect display control means 2152e determines whether or not the continuous effect execution count counter value Cg in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is not zero. In the case of Yes in step 2508, in step 2540, the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 executes a mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determination process described later. Next, in step 2520, the notice effect display control means 2152e turns on the notice effect availability determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display control process in step 2600).

Next, in step 2510, the notice effect display control means 2152e turns off the continuous effect execution continuation flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in step 2512, the notice effect display control means 2152e turns off the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determined flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and proceeds to step 2520.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2504, in step 2514, the notice effect display content determination means 2152e-1 decides whether or not the notice effect can be displayed based on a predetermined lottery probability (for example, ¼) (notice effect display availability / not available). Lottery). Next, in step 2516, the notice effect display content determination unit 2152e-1 determines whether or not the notice effect display availability determination lottery has been won (whether or not the notice effect can be displayed). In the case of Yes in step 2516, in step 2518, the notice effect display content determination means 2152e-1 selects one of the notice effect types 1 to N from the predetermined notice effect types 1 to N based on a predetermined lottery probability. The notification effect at the time of change is determined (for example, the N types of notification effect types are determined with a uniform selection probability), and the process proceeds to step 2520. In the case of No in step 2502 or step 2516, the process proceeds to the next process (decorated symbol display control process in step 2600).

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determination process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2540 in FIG. First, in step 2542, the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 determines whether or not the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determined flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is off. In the case of Yes in step 2542, in step 2544, the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 refers to the continuous effect execution number counter value Cg in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and performs a predetermined lottery. Based on the probability, any one of the 1 to counter values Cg is determined (for example, one of the 1 to Cg values is determined with a uniform selection probability), and the presentation display related information is temporarily stored. It is set as a specific notice effect generation trigger value M in the means 2152c. Next, in step 2546, the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 determines one of the advance notice effect types 1 to N based on a predetermined lottery probability. (For example, the N types of notice effect types are determined with a uniform selection probability), and the determined contents are temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152c as the notice effect type X. Next, in step 2548, the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 turns on the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determined flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and proceeds to step 2550. If No in step 2542, the process proceeds to step 2550.

  Next, in step 2550, the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 has the continuous effect execution count counter value Cg in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c and the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. With reference to the specific notice effect generation trigger value M, it is determined whether or not the counter value Cg and the trigger value M are the same. In the case of Yes in step 2550, in step 2552, the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 determines whether or not the trigger hold is a hit hold (the trigger hold determined in step 2214 in FIG. 16). Whether or not). In the case of Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 uses the notice effect type X temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c as the notice at the time of the change. It decides as production and shifts to the next processing (step 2520). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2550 or step 2552, in step 2556, mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 is based on a predetermined lottery probability, and within the predetermined notice effect types 1 to N. From any of the above-mentioned notice effect types other than the notice effect type X is determined as the notice effect at the time of the change, and the process proceeds to the next processing (step 2520).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the mission achievement post-notification effect determination process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2580 in FIG. First, at step 2582, the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 is temporarily stored in the specific notice effect generation trigger value M and the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Based on the stored notice effect type X, it is set as a mission achievement condition that “the notice effect X occurs in the past Mth change”. Next, in step 2584, the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 determines whether or not the trigger hold is a hit hold (whether or not the trigger hold is determined in step 2214 in FIG. 16). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2584, in step 2586, the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 displays the mission effect for notifying that the set mission achievement condition has already been satisfied, as a notice of the change. The effect is determined and the process proceeds to the next process (step 2510). On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2584, in Step 2588, the mission achievement post-notification notification display control means 2152e-2-2 sets the mission effect to notify that the set mission achievement condition could not be satisfied. The notice effect is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 2510).

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2600 of FIG. First, in step 2602, the decorative symbol display control unit 2152a determines whether or not the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152c is off. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the decorative symbol display control unit 2152a determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152c is on. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in step 2606, the decorative symbol display control unit 2152a turns on the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152c. Next, in step 2608, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a turns off the symbol content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in step 2610, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a displays decoration on the drawing display unit 2141 of the effect display device 2140 based on the variation pattern of the decorative symbols temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. The change of the symbol is started, and the process proceeds to Step 2612. If No in step 2602, the process proceeds to step 2612.

  Next, in step 2612, the notice effect display control means 2152e determines whether or not the notice effect availability determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is on. In the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2616, the notice effect display control means 2152e turns off the notice effect permission / prohibition content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in step 2618, the notice effect display control means 2152e displays the notice effect on the effect display device 2140 based on the content (and predetermined display timing) determined as the notice effect at the time of change, and in step 2620. Migrate to If No in step 2612, the process proceeds to step 2620.

  Next, at step 2620, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a, and has received information (fluctuation end information) indicating that the symbol variation has been completed from the main controller 1000 side. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2620, in step 2622, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a, based on the stop symbol of the decorative symbols temporarily stored in the temporary display related information temporary storage means 2152c, the drawing display unit 2141 of the effect display device 2140. The decorative pattern is confirmed and displayed above. Next, in step 2624, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a turns off the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and proceeds to the next processing (special game display control processing in step 2800). . In the case of No in step 2604 or step 2620, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 2800).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the display control process during special game according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, in step 2802, the display control means 2152 determines whether or not the special game in-progress flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is off. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the display control unit 2152 refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not special game start display instruction information has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 2804, in step 2806 and step 2808, the display control means 2152 turns on the special game flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c and also displays the big hit start display on the effect display device 2140. Do. Then, in step 2810, the display control means 2152 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2140 based on the game state information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side (probability variation big hit or (Displayed only for time reduction fluctuation big hit). Here, if there are sudden probability fluctuation big hits and small hits, if the number of rounds is displayed, the player will know whether the current hit is “sudden probability fluctuation big hits” or “small hits”. In such a case, the number of rounds is not displayed in the process. Next, in step 2812, the display control means 2152 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2151a, and determines whether or not special game end display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 2812, in step 2814, the display control means 2152 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device 2140. In step 2816, the display control means 2152 turns off the special gaming flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and proceeds to the next process (holding information management process in step 2100). If NO in step 2802, the process proceeds to step 2810. If NO in step 2804 or step 2812, the process proceeds to the next process (holding information management process in step 2100).

(Function)
Next, the effect | action which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIG. First, this operational diagram is an example of a case in which a hold having a random value on which the winning / failing lottery result is a hit occurs in the fourth hold and a hold pre-reading effect is executed using the generated hold as a trigger hold. . In this example, it is assumed that the hold other than the trigger hold has a random value that results in a loss of the result of the lottery.

  First, in the first stage of the figure, the fourth hold is determined as the trigger hold, and one of the holds before the trigger hold (in this example, any of the first to third holds). The hold that triggers the occurrence of the specific notice effect is determined by lottery (in this example, determined as the second hold). In addition, a plurality of predetermined notice effects (in this example, notice effect type 1 = “wind blows”, notice effect type 2 = “rains down”, notice effect type 3 = “confetti dances”, ..., One of the notice effects is selected by lottery among the notice effects type N = “Sakurabuki is dancing” (in this example, the notice effect type 3 = “confetti is danced” is determined) Is done.

  Next, in the second stage of the figure, the first suspension is digested and the symbol variation is started. Here, at this timing, as the notice effect at the time of the change of the symbol, one of the predetermined kinds of notice effects other than the specific notice effect is determined by lottery (in this example, the notice effect) Type 2 = “rain falls” is determined) and is displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost.

  Next, in the third stage of the figure, the second hold (holding that triggers the occurrence of the specific notice effect) is consumed and the symbol variation is started. Here, at this timing, a specific notice effect (in this example, notice effect type 3 = “confetti dances”) is displayed as a notice effect at the time of the symbol change at a predetermined timing after the symbol change starts. The Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost.

  Next, in the fourth stage of the figure, the third suspension is digested and the symbol variation is started. Here, at this timing, as the notice effect at the time of the change of the symbol, one of the predetermined kinds of notice effects other than the specific notice effect is determined by lottery (in this example, the notice effect) Type N = “Sakurabuki is dancing” is determined) and displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost.

  Next, in the fifth row of the figure, the fourth hold (trigger hold) is consumed and the symbol variation is started. Here, at this timing, as a notice effect at the time of the change of the symbol, a mission effect with the mission achievement condition “Generate an effect that confetti dances before 2 changes!” Occurs. That is, since the mission effect is performed under the situation where the mission achievement condition is already satisfied at the time of the second on-hold digestion, the player storing the notice effect content generated at the time of the second on-hold digestion, At the end of the symbol variation, there is a high expectation that the decorative symbol is displayed in a winning combination. Then, it is displayed that the mission achievement condition has been satisfied at a predetermined timing after the start of the symbol variation, and the decorative symbol is determined and displayed in a winning combination.

  Although not shown, in the present embodiment, even when a hold having a random value that results in a failure of the lottery occurs, a hold pre-reading effect is set that can be executed with the generated hold as a trigger hold. Yes. For example, when it is assumed that the fourth hold (trigger hold) in this example has a random number value that causes a loss, the first hold digest time to the third hold digest time other than the specific notice effect Any notice effect will be displayed. Then, at the time of the fourth on-hold digestion, a mission effect is generated with a mission achievement condition of “Generate an effect that confetti dances before 2 changes!”. In other words, at the time of the fourth on-hold digestion, the mission effect is produced in a situation where the mission achievement condition is not satisfied, and it is displayed that the mission achievement condition was not satisfied at a predetermined timing after the start of the symbol variation. At the same time, the display is confirmed and displayed in such a combination that the decorative symbols are lost.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the mission achievement condition can be set based on the past event (in this example, the notice effect content) that occurred before the symbol change, it is desired to detect the jackpot in advance. This makes it possible to create a new gameability that allows the player to memorize the past event and to improve the interest of the game.

  In the present embodiment, only the notice effect is illustrated as a past event when setting mission achievement conditions, but the past event is not limited to this. In that case, for example, a variation mode {variation time, reach type (non-reach, normal reach, super reach, etc.)} or a stop symbol (combination of decorative symbols) is used as the past event. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, when determining a specific notice effect, one notice effect is selected from a plurality of types of notice effects based on a predetermined lottery probability (see step 2546 in FIG. 19). However, when determining the one notice effect, the decision may be made in consideration of the jackpot reliability in each notice effect. When configured in this manner, for example, by configuring so that the notice effect Y having a significantly low jackpot reliability is determined as the specific notice effect, the expectation degree of jackpot at the time of the discontinuous effect (in the process of step 2518 in FIG. 18) Even if a noticeable effect with a remarkably low level is generated, a mission effect that uses the occurrence of the notice effect Y as a mission achievement condition may occur at the time of subsequent suspension, so the value of the notice effect Y itself is increased. It becomes possible. Further, by configuring so that the notice effect Z having a remarkably high jackpot reliability can be determined as the specific notice effect, the impact on the player when the notice effect Z occurs at the time of the loss in the discontinuous effect is reduced. Can do. Here, the impact given to the player is that the player's willingness to continue the game is significantly reduced instantaneously in the event that a big hit reliability has occurred but the big hit reliability has not occurred. I mean. In such a case, the intention to continue the game is instantaneously remarkably realized by giving the player a sense of expectation that a mission effect will be generated with the occurrence of the notice effect Z as a condition for achieving the mission at the time of subsequent suspension. It is possible to avoid the decrease (dispersion of the impact given to the player).

  In addition, in this embodiment, it is configured to determine one hold from among any hold before the trigger hold digest (see step 2544 in FIG. 19) as a hold that triggers the generation of the specific notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured to determine a plurality of suspensions that will trigger the occurrence of a specific notice effect. By configuring in this way, it is possible to set a plurality of types of specific notice effects generated in the plurality of suspensions as mission achievement conditions (for example, in the operation diagram of FIG. Will produce a mission effect of “Make a production of cherry blossoms dance” one change before! ”, Which can further enhance the entertainment of the game.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the information regarding a mission is not alert | reported at the time of the start of a continuous production (For example, in the action figure of FIG. 23, the information regarding a mission is not output at the time of the 1st holding | maintenance digestion) However, it is not limited to this. In that case, for example, at the start of the continuous production, a notification that the mission production is scheduled to occur (for example, in the same action diagram, “Mission latent! An example of outputting information such as “will be presented” can be given. Or, a mission effect is generated together with provisional mission achievement conditions (for example, in the same action diagram, a mission effect such as “Generate a wind blowing effect within 10 fluctuations!” At the time of the first on-hold digestion!) And change to the final mission achievement conditions in subsequent fluctuations (for example, in the same action diagram, “change mission achievement conditions at the time of the fourth on-hold use! ”Generate a mission!”). In addition, when notifying the provisional mission achievement condition at the start of the continuous production, it is necessary to configure so that the notice production that satisfies the provisional mission achievement condition is not displayed during the execution of the continuous production. . In this way, by configuring so as to notify the information related to the mission at the start of the continuous production, it is possible to cause the player to pay attention to the notice production displayed during the execution of the continuous production. The interest can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, only the pachinko gaming machine is illustrated, but the present invention can also be applied to a rotating type gaming machine. Here, in the spinning type gaming machine, as in the holding pre-reading function in the pachinko gaming machine, the result of the lottery winning after the game (game) (the lottery result executed on the main controller side) is determined in advance. It is difficult. However, if the spinning-reel game machine has a function to control the appearance on the sub-board side (so-called AT function), it is easy to pre-determine whether or not the lottery result of the AT function after the game is concerned It is. Therefore, the spinning machine can be configured to determine in advance whether the AT function is successful or not, and to set mission achievement conditions based on past events that occurred before the game.

  In addition, in this embodiment, in order to realize setting mission achievement conditions based on past events that occurred before the symbol change, a configuration that generates continuous production based on the hold prefetch function is required. It is not necessarily limited to such a configuration. Hereinafter, another configuration for realizing the setting of mission achievement conditions based on past events that occurred before the symbol change will be described in detail as a modified example from the present embodiment.

(Example of change)
First, three types of configurations can be conceptualized as modifications from the present embodiment. These configurations can produce the same effect as the present embodiment, but since the required functions, buffer capacity, etc. are different, the best configuration is selected in consideration of the specifications of the game machine to be applied. It is desirable. Therefore, the outline of the configuration in each modified example is shown in Table 1, and the modified points from the present embodiment will be sequentially described in each modified example.

(Modification 1)
Next, Modification 1 from this embodiment will be described in detail. First, FIG. 24 is a main flowchart 2000 (Modification 1) showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect display control means 2150 in Modification Example 1 of the present embodiment. The change from this embodiment is that there is no hold prefetch effect execution determination process in step 2200, and its purpose is based on past events that occurred before the symbol change without having a hold prefetch function. It is to set mission achievement conditions.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the notice effect display content determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2500 (Modification 1) of FIG. The change from this embodiment is about Step 2508 (Modification 1), and its purpose is to determine whether or not to generate a specific notice effect or mission effect based only on the result of the lottery in the symbol variation. is there. That is, in step 2508 (change 1), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 displays the symbol information from the main control device 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2151a (the symbol at the time of the change of the symbol). Based on the information), it is determined whether or not the symbol variation is lost. In the case of Yes in Step 2508 (Modification 1), in Step 2540 (Modification 1), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 executes a mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determination process described later. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2508 (Modification 1), in Step 2580 (Modification 1), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 executes a mission achievement post-notification effect determination process described later.

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2540 (Modification 1) in FIG. The change from this embodiment is about almost all processes, and the purpose is to determine the occurrence of the specific notice effect and to store the occurrence of the specific notice effect over a predetermined period. is there.

  First, in Step 2542 (Variation 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 determines whether or not the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determined flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is off. Determine. In the case of Yes in Step 2542 (Variable 1), in Step 2544 (Variable 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 determines an arbitrary numerical value based on a predetermined lottery probability (for example, 1 ˜30 is determined with a uniform selection probability) and set in the upper limit count storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and the mission in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. The incubation period counter value M is cleared (zero cleared). Here, as will be described later, the mission latent period counter value M counts the number of fluctuations after the occurrence of the specific effect, and indicates whether or not the number of fluctuations has reached the value set in the upper limit number storage area. The determination is made for each change. Next, in Step 2546 (Variant 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 makes a notice from any of the predetermined notice effect types 1 to N based on a predetermined lottery probability. The effect type is determined (for example, the N types of notice effect types are determined with a uniform selection probability), and the determined content is temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152c as the notice effect type X (specific notice effect). Remember. Next, in Step 2548 (Variation 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 turns on the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determined flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in Step 2552 (Variation 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 uses the notice effect type X temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c as the notice at the time of the change. It decides as production and shifts to the next processing {step 2520 (change 1)}.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2542 (variant 1), in step 2554 (variant 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 sends the mission latency period counter in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Add 1 to the value M (increment). Next, in Step 2556 (Variation 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 is based on a predetermined lottery probability, and the notice effect type X is selected from the predetermined notice effects types 1 to N. Any notice effect type other than is determined as the notice effect at the time of the change. Next, in Step 2560 (Variation 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 is set in the mission latency period counter value M and the upper limit count storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. It is determined whether or not the obtained value is the same value. In the case of Yes in Step 2560 (Modification 1), in Step 2562 (Modification 1), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 sends the mission latency period counter value M in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Based on the notice effect type X temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, “winning within M times after the notice effect X occurs” is set as a mission achievement condition. Next, in Step 2564 (Variation 1), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 displays the mission effect for notifying that the set mission achievement condition has not been satisfied as the notice effect of the change. Determine as. Next, in step 2566 (change 1), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 turns off the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determined flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, and The process proceeds to {step 2520 (variant 1)}. In addition, in the case of No in Step 2560 (Modification 1), the process proceeds to the next process {Step 2520 (Modification 1)}.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the mission achievement post-notification effect determining process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2580 (Modification 1) of FIG. The change from this embodiment is about almost all processes, and the purpose is that if a hit fluctuation occurs between the occurrence of the specific notice effect and the elapse of a predetermined period, the specific notice effect is It is to set mission achievement conditions based on past events that have occurred.

  First, in step 2582 (change 1), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 determines whether the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect determined flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is on. Determine. In the case of Yes in Step 2582 (Modified 1), in Step 2584 (Modified 1), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 sends the mission latency period counter value M in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Based on the notice effect type X temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c, the fact that “the notice effect X has occurred in the past Mth change” is set as a mission achievement condition. Next, in Step 2586 (Variant 1), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 provides a mission effect for notifying that the set mission achievement condition has already been satisfied, as a notice of the change. It decides as production and shifts to the next processing {step 2520 (change 1)}. If No in step 2582 (variant 1), the process proceeds to the next process {step 2520 (variant 1)}.

  Next, the effect | action which concerns on the example 1 of a change of this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIG. First, this action diagram is an example of the operation at the time of symbol variation after the specific notice effect is generated at the first symbol variation (loss variation). In this example, it is assumed that no new hold has occurred at the time of each symbol change.

  First, in the first stage of the figure, the first symbol variation (loss variation) is started, and a plurality of predetermined notice effects (in this example, notice effect type 1 = “wind blows”, Notice effect type 2 = “rain falls”, notice effect type 3 = “confetti dances”,... Notice effect type N = “sakura confetti dances”) Is determined by lottery (in this example, the notice effect type 3 = “confetti dances” is determined) and is displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost.

  Next, in the second stage of the figure, the second symbol variation (losing variation) is started, and one of the predetermined types of notice effects other than the specific notice effect is selected by lottery. (In this example, the notice effect type 2 = “rain falls” is determined) and is displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost.

  Next, in the third stage of the figure, the third symbol variation (losing variation) is started, and any of the predetermined types of notice effects other than the specific notice effect is selected by lottery. (In this example, the notice effect type N = “Sakurabuki snow dances” is determined) and is displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost.

  Next, in the fourth row of the figure, it is stored that the fourth symbol variation (winning variation) is started and the specific notice effect is output in the first symbol variation {FIG. 26 As shown in step 2546 (change 1)}, a mission effect with the mission achievement condition “Generate a confetti dance effect before 3 changes!” Occurs as a notice effect when the symbol changes. To do. In other words, since the mission effect is a situation in which the mission achievement condition is already satisfied at the time of the first symbol change, the player who stores the notice effect content that occurred at the time of the first symbol change, At the end of the symbol variation, there is a high expectation that the decorative symbol is displayed in a winning combination. Then, it is displayed that the mission achievement condition has been satisfied at a predetermined timing after the start of the symbol variation, and the decorative symbol is determined and displayed in a winning combination.

  Although not shown, in the first modification, if the loss variation is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) after the first symbol variation, the mission achievement condition is set at the time of the eleventh symbol variation (loss variation). A mission effect is generated: “Let's make a hit within 10 fluctuations after the“ Confection with dancing confetti ”occurs”. That is, at the time of the 11th symbol change, the mission effect is produced in a situation where the mission achievement condition is not satisfied, and it is displayed that the mission achievement condition was not satisfied at a predetermined timing after the start of the symbol change. At the same time, the display is confirmed and displayed in such a combination that the decorative symbols are lost.

  As described above, in the first modification, the mission achievement condition can be set based on the past event that occurred before the symbol change without having the hold prefetch function.

  Further, in the case of the configuration as in the first modification, the buffer area for temporarily storing the prior determination result (preliminary determination information temporary storage unit 2152c-1 in the present embodiment) due to the fact that the hold prefetch function is not required. ) Is not required. Therefore, it is difficult to secure a buffer area in addition to being easily applicable to a gaming machine in which it is difficult to pre-determine whether or not a winning lottery is determined after the game, such as a spinning-type game machine. The present invention can be easily applied to a configuration (for example, a configuration in which the RAM 2150b on the effect display control means 2150 has a small capacity).

  On the other hand, when it is configured as in the first modification example, it is necessary to generate a specific notice effect in a situation where it is impossible to determine in advance whether or not a hit occurs in a symbol variation after a certain symbol variation (loss variation). When determining a specific notice effect, it is difficult to decide in consideration of the jackpot reliability in each notice effect. For example, when the notice effect Z intended to increase the jackpot reliability is configured to be easily determined as the specific notice effect, the notice effect Z is output in the certain symbol variation (loss variation), which is contrary to the intention. As a result, the big hit reliability of the notice effect Z is lowered. Moreover, when comprised like the example 1 of a change, it will become impossible to set a multiple types of specific notice effect as mission achievement conditions.

  As described above, the configuration as in the first modification has the advantage that the application range is wide compared to the present embodiment, while the design flexibility for improving the fun of the game is reduced. It has the feature that there is a demerit of doing.

(Modification 2)
Next, Modification 2 from this embodiment will be described in detail. First, FIG. 29 is a main flowchart 2000 (modification 2) showing a flow of general processing performed by the effect display control means 2150 in Modification 2 of the present embodiment. The change from this embodiment is that there is no hold prefetch effect execution determination process in step 2200, and its purpose is based on past events that occurred before the symbol change without having a hold prefetch function. It is to set mission achievement conditions.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the notice effect display content determination process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2500 (Modification 2) in FIG. The change from this embodiment is about Step 2508 (Modification 2), and its purpose is to determine whether or not to generate a specific notice effect or a mission effect based only on the result of the lottery in the symbol variation. is there. That is, in step 2508 (change 2), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 displays the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a (the symbol at the time of the change of the symbol). Based on the information), it is determined whether or not the symbol variation is lost. In the case of Yes in Step 2508 (Modification 2), in Step 2540 (Modification 2), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 executes effect determination / effect history storage processing described later. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2508 (Modification 2), in Step 2580 (Modification 2), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 executes a mission achievement post-notification effect determination process described later.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the effect determination / effect history storage process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2540 (Modification 2) in FIG. The changes from the present embodiment are about almost all processes, and the purpose is to determine one notice effect from a plurality of preset notice effects at the time of each symbol variation, and the decided notice It is to buffer the production contents.

  First, in Step 2542 (Variation 2), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 selects one of the predetermined notice effects types 1 to N based on a predetermined lottery probability. The type is determined as the notice effect at the time of change (for example, the N kinds of notice effect types are determined with a uniform selection probability). Next, in step 2544 (change 2), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 determines that the stored content management counter value Cb in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c is a predetermined upper limit number (for example, It is determined whether or not 10) has been reached. Here, the stored content management counter value Cb is a control counter for buffering the notice effect content, and when the counter value Cb reaches a predetermined upper limit number, the stored content management counter value Cb is an area reserved as a buffer area. It is determined that the notice effect content is stored until the upper limit is reached. In the case of Yes in Step 2544 (Modification 2), in Step 2546 (Modification 2), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 temporarily transmits the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect temporary in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. All the contents temporarily stored in the storage area (buffer area) are cleared. Next, in Step 2548 (Variation 2), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 clears (zero clears) the stored content management counter value Cb in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Move to 2550 (Variant 2). On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2544 (Modification 2), the process proceeds to Step 2550 (Modification 2) without executing Step 2546 (Modification 2) and Step 2548 (Modification 2).

  Next, in Step 2550 (Variation 2), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 adds (increments) 1 to the stored content management counter value Cb in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. . Next, in Step 2552 (Modification 2), the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect display control means 2152e-2-1 selects the notice effect type determined in Step 2542 (Modification 2) as the mission in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. The achievement condition satisfaction effect temporary storage area is accumulated and temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process {step 2520 (modified 2)}.

  By performing such processing, in the second modification, the notice effect types corresponding to the predetermined number of changes (in this example, 10 changes) before the symbol change are accumulated and stored in the buffer area as history information. In addition, if the notice effect contents are stored until the upper limit of the buffer area is reached, all the contents stored in the buffer area are cleared. In the case where the notice effect contents are stored until the upper limit of the buffer area is reached, the oldest notice effect contents and the newest notice effect contents in the buffer area may be switched.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the mission achievement post-notification effect determination process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2580 (Modification 2) in FIG. The changes from the present embodiment are for almost all processes, and the purpose is to achieve the mission based on the history information of the notice effect that occurred before the certain symbol variation when a variation occurs in the certain symbol variation. Is to set conditions.

  First, in Step 2582 (Variation 2), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 selects a predetermined value from (1 to stored content management counter value Cb in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c). One of the numerical values is determined based on the lottery probability, and is set to the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect trigger value M in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in Step 2584 (Variation 2), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 produces the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect in the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect temporary storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. The notice effect type stored in the trigger value Mth is acquired as the notice effect type X. Next, in step 2586 (change 2), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 sends the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect trigger value M in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c and the acquired notice effect. Based on the type X, the fact that “the notice effect X occurs in the past Mth change” is set as the mission achievement condition. Next, in Step 2588 (Variation 2), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 provides a mission effect for notifying that the set mission achievement condition has already been satisfied, as a notice of the change. It decides as production and shifts to the next processing {step 2520 (change 2)}. In this example, it is assumed that a notice will appear for all changes, but this is not a limitation (the same applies to this embodiment and other modified examples). In this case, for example, it may be determined by lottery from previous notices appearing in the past, or “no notice appears in the past Mth change” may be set as the mission achievement condition.

  Next, the effect | action which concerns on the example 2 of a change of this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIG. First, this action diagram is an example of an operation when a hit occurs in the fourth symbol variation after the first to third symbol variation (loss variation). In this example, it is assumed that no new hold has occurred at the time of each symbol change.

  First, in the first stage of the figure, the first symbol variation (loss variation) is started, and a plurality of predetermined notice effects (in this example, notice effect type 1 = “wind blows”, Notice effect type 2 = “rain falls”, notice effect type 3 = “confetti dances”,... Notice effect type N = “sakura confetti dances”) It is determined (in this example, notice effect type 3 = “confetti dances” is determined) and displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost. Here, the determined notice effect type (in this example, notice effect type 3) is temporarily stored in the buffer area as history information.

  Next, in the second stage of the figure, the second symbol variation (losing variation) is started, and one of the predetermined types of notification effects is determined by lottery (this example) Then, the notice effect type 2 = “rain falls” is determined) and is displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed in a combination that causes a loss, and the determined notice effect type (in this example, the notice effect type 2) is buffered as history information. Is temporarily stored.

  Next, in the third stage of the figure, the third symbol variation (losing variation) is started, and one of the predetermined types of announcement effects is determined by lottery (this example) Will be displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation, and the determined notification effect type (in this example, the notification effect type N) will be displayed. Is temporarily stored in the buffer area as history information.

  Next, in the fourth row of the figure, the fourth symbol variation (winning variation) is started, and one piece of history information (this book) determined by lottery from the history information temporarily stored in the buffer area. In the example, based on the notice effect type 3) temporarily stored in the third buffer area, a mission effect with the mission achievement condition “Generate an effect that confetti dances before 3 changes!” Occur. In other words, since the mission effect is a situation in which the mission achievement condition is already satisfied at the time of the first symbol change, the player who stores the notice effect content that occurred at the time of the first symbol change, At the end of the symbol variation, there is a high expectation that the decorative symbol is displayed in a winning combination. Then, it is displayed that the mission achievement condition has been satisfied at a predetermined timing after the start of the symbol variation, and the decorative symbol is determined and displayed in a winning combination.

  As described above, the second modification can be configured so that the mission achievement condition can be set based on the past event that occurred before the symbol change without having the hold prefetch function.

  Further, in the case of the configuration as in the second modification example, a buffer area (preliminary determination information temporary storage unit 2152c-1 in the present embodiment) for temporarily storing the preliminary determination result in connection with the fact that the hold prefetch function is not required. ) Is not required, but is different from Modification 1 in that a buffer area for temporarily storing the notice effect contents that occurred before the symbol change is required. Therefore, it is easy to apply to a gaming machine where it is difficult to pre-determine whether or not the winning lottery is determined after the game, such as a spinning-reel game machine, and the buffer area can be easily secured ( For example, it can be easily applied to a configuration in which the RAM 2150b on the effect display control means 2150 has a large capacity.

  On the other hand, when configured as in the second modification example, the mission achievement condition can be set only within the range of the notice effect content temporarily stored as history information. It becomes difficult to increase variations. For example, the notice effect Z with extremely high jackpot reliability has a low probability of occurrence at the time of loss variation, and therefore, the probability of being temporarily stored as history information becomes relatively low, so that it is difficult to set the mission achievement condition. is there. However, when configured as in the second modification, a plurality of types of mission achievement conditions can be set as long as they are within the range of the notice effect content temporarily stored as history information.

  As described above, when configured as in Modification 2, there is a merit that the scope of application is wide compared to the present embodiment, but the degree of design freedom for improving the fun of the game is reduced. It has the feature that there is a demerit of doing. Moreover, when compared with the modified example 1, there is a demerit that the application range is narrow, but there is a feature that there is a merit that the degree of freedom of design for improving the fun of the game is increased.

(Modification 3)
Next, Modification 3 from the present embodiment will be described in detail. First, FIG. 34 is a main flowchart 2000 (Modification 3) showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect display control means 2150 in Modification 3 of the present embodiment. Here, in the third modification, there is no change from the present embodiment, and there is a process of determining whether or not to hold the pre-reading effect in step 2200. That is, in the third modification, a configuration for generating a continuous effect based on the hold prefetching function is required.

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the notice effect display content determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2500 (Modification 3) in FIG. The changes from this embodiment are about Step 2540 (Modification 3) and Step 2560 (Modification 3), and the purpose is based on the contents of the notice effect temporarily stored as history information during the execution of the continuous effect. It is to generate a mission effect. That is, in the case of Yes in Step 2508 (Modification 3), in Step 2540 (Modification 3), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 executes a mission achievement post-notification effect determination process described later. In Step 2560 (Modification 3), the past mission effect display control means 2152e-2 executes an effect determination / effect history storage process to be described later.

  Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the mission achievement post-notification effect determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2540 (Modification 3) in FIG. The changes from the present embodiment are about Step 2550 (Modification 3) to Step 2558 (Modification 3), and the purpose thereof is temporarily stored as history information during the execution of the continuous production and before digestion of the trigger suspension. The mission achievement condition is set on the basis of the content of the announcement effect being performed, and the mission effect is generated on the basis of the preliminary determination result related to the determination of whether or not to hold the trigger. That is, in the case of Yes in Step 2548 (Modification 3), in Step 2550 (Modification 3), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 is stored in (1 to effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c). One of the numerical values is determined from the content management counter value Cb) based on a predetermined lottery probability, and set to the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect trigger value T in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Next, in step 2552 (change 3), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 produces the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect in the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect temporary storage area in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. The notice effect type stored in the trigger value Tth is acquired as the notice effect type X. Next, in step 2554 (transition 3), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 determines whether or not the trigger hold that triggered the generation of the continuous effect is a hit hold. In the case of Yes in Step 2554 (Modification 3), in Step 2555 (Modification 3), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 triggers the mission achievement condition satisfaction effect trigger in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Based on the value T and the acquired notice effect type X, it is set as a mission achievement condition that “the notice effect X occurs in the past T-th change”. Next, in Step 2556 (Variation 3), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 displays a mission effect for notifying that the set mission achievement condition has already been satisfied, as a notice of the change. It decides as production and shifts to the next processing {step 2560 (modification 3)}. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2554 (Modified 3), in Step 2557 (Modified 3), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 satisfies the mission achievement condition in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152c. Based on the effect trigger value T and the acquired notice effect type X, it is set as a mission achievement condition that “other than the notice effect X occurs in the past T-th change”. Next, in Step 2558 (Variation 3), the mission achievement post-notification effect display control means 2152e-2-2 sets the mission effect for notifying that the set mission achievement condition has not been satisfied, as the notice effect of the change. And the process proceeds to the next process {step 2560 (modified 3)}.

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the effect determination / effect history storage process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2560 (Modification 3) in FIG. Since the content of this process is the same as the effect determination / effect history storage process (see FIG. 31) in the second modification, the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the effect | action which concerns on the example 3 of a change is demonstrated, referring FIG. First, this operational diagram is an example of a case in which a hold having a random value on which the winning / failing lottery result is a hit occurs in the fourth hold and a hold pre-reading effect is executed using the generated hold as a trigger hold. . In this example, it is assumed that the hold other than the trigger hold has a random value that results in a loss of the result of the lottery. In addition, it is assumed that the notice effect type 3 = “confetti dances” is output in the symbol variation before the first reserved digest.

  First, in the first stage of the figure, the fourth hold is determined as the trigger hold, and one of the holds before the trigger hold (in this example, any of the first to third holds). The hold that triggers the occurrence of the specific notice effect is determined by lottery (in this example, determined as the third hold). Here, at this timing, the hold that is the trigger for the occurrence of the specific notice effect is determined, while the content of the specific notice effect is not determined.

  Next, in the second stage of the figure, the first suspension is digested and the symbol variation is started. Here, at this timing, as the notice effect at the time of the change of the symbol, one of the predetermined kinds of notice effects is determined by lottery (in this example, notice effect type 2 = “rain” Is displayed) at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost. The determined notice effect type (in this example, notice effect type 2) is temporarily stored in the buffer area as history information.

  Next, in the third stage of the figure, the second suspension is digested and the symbol variation is started. Here, at this timing, as the notice effect at the time of the change of the symbol, one of the predetermined kinds of notice effects is determined by lottery (in this example, the notice effect type N = “cherry blossom”). "Blowing snow dances" is determined) and displayed at a predetermined timing after the start of symbol variation. Then, after a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, the display is confirmed and displayed in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost. The determined notice effect type (in this example, notice effect type N) is temporarily stored in the buffer area as history information.

  Next, in the fourth stage of the figure, the third hold (holding that triggers the occurrence of the specific notice effect) is consumed and the symbol variation is started. Here, at this timing, one history information determined by lottery from the history information temporarily stored in the buffer area (in this example, the notice effect type 3 temporarily stored in the third buffer area). ), A mission effect is generated with a mission achievement condition of “Generate a confetti dance effect before 3 changes!”. However, since the third hold has a random number value that is lost, after the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, a fixed display is made in a combination in which the decorative symbol is lost.

  Next, in the fifth row of the figure, the fourth hold (trigger hold) is consumed and the symbol variation is started. Here, the fourth hold is a trigger hold and has a random number value to be won, so after a predetermined symbol change time has elapsed, the decorative symbol is determined and displayed in a winning combination. .

  As described above, the third modification example is configured to determine the mission effect generation timing based on the hold prefetch function and to set the mission achievement condition based on the notice effect content temporarily stored as history information. The notice effect that was output before the execution of the continuous effect can also be set as the mission achievement condition.

  Further, in the case of the configuration as in the third modification, the hold prefetch function, the buffer area for temporarily storing the preliminary determination result (preliminary determination information temporary storage unit 2152c-1 in the present embodiment), and before the symbol change A buffer area for temporarily storing the content of the generated notice effect is required. Therefore, it is difficult to apply to a gaming machine in which it is difficult to pre-determine whether or not a winning lottery is determined after the game, such as a spinning-type gaming machine, and a buffer area can be easily secured (for example, The RAM 2150b on the effect display control means 2150 has a large capacity.

  On the other hand, when configured as in Modification 3, it is easy to increase the number of mission achievement conditions compared to the present embodiment, and a plurality of types of mission achievement conditions can be set. In addition, the number of fluctuations for the buffer area for temporarily storing the preliminary determination result + the number of fluctuations for the buffer area for temporarily storing the notice effect content is set as a predetermined period related to the mission achievement condition. (For example, even if the buffer area for temporarily storing the content of the notice effect is 10 fluctuations, when it is determined in advance that the fourth hold is a hit hold, Displaying “Generate a notice effect X before 14 fluctuations” can extend the upper limit number of times for a predetermined period related to the mission achievement condition). That is, in the case of the configuration as modified example 3, there is a demerit that the application range is narrower than that of the present embodiment, but on the other hand, a merit that the degree of freedom in design for improving the fun of the game is increased. It has the characteristic that there is.

  In the present embodiment (including modified examples), the display timing of the mission effect and the mission achievement condition is not particularly limited. However, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game by concentrating on the display timing. Here, for example, in a design variation of a decorative design, an effect that makes it appear as if a plurality of design variations have been executed in a pseudo manner (a so-called pseudo continuous variation effect), and display contents develop in stages. The case where the timing which switches the effect content in the said symbol variation is provided like an effect (what is called a step-up notice effect) etc. is illustrated. In such a case, if the timing of switching the content of the production is the first step to the third step, the mission achievement condition can be notified step by step in each step. For example, in the first step, one of the mission achievement conditions is displayed, “Generate an effect that confetti dances!”, And then in the second step, another mission achievement condition. The message “Generate before 3 changes” is displayed, and then whether or not the mission is achieved is displayed in the third step. By configuring in this way, the player pays attention to the display contents in the further step (for example, in the case where the “confetti dance” effect has occurred before the third change in this example, In the second step, it is strongly hoped that “Please generate before 3 changes” is displayed, and it is possible to predict the display content in the further step (for example, in this example) If the “confetti dances” effect occurs before the third change, and “Generate before the third change” is displayed in the second step, the mission is completed in the third step. It is possible to predict the notification). Therefore, it is possible to create a new expression method in the effect of switching the effect content in the symbol variation, such as a pseudo continuous variation effect or a step-up notice effect, and the meaning of switching the effect content. The player can recognize it. In such a configuration, by coexisting with a conventional mission effect (a mission effect configured to display only the first step in this example and determine whether or not the mission can be achieved by an event occurring thereafter), There are many variations of mission performance (at the time when the first step is displayed, it is determined whether the mission can be achieved by the event that occurs thereafter, or whether the mission is achieved by the past event) Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the fun of the game. Furthermore, in such a configuration, after the effect suggesting whether the mission can be achieved is displayed in the third step (for example, in this example, the effect that occurred before 1 to 3 fluctuations is displayed as a playback), the mission can be achieved. Since the player who senses the achievement of the mission through the performance suggesting whether or not the mission can be achieved will be satisfied with the achievement of the mission by his / her own awareness, Can be further increased.

  In addition, in this embodiment (including a modified example), although it is related with the conventional 1st type pachinko game machine, it is not limited to this. In that case, for example, a conventional pachinko gaming machine having two functions of the first type (first type first type multi-function machine), where one main game symbol has priority over the other main game symbol. In a game machine that changes symbols, the content of the mission effect related to the other main game symbol (non-priority side) changes when entering the main game start port related to the one main game symbol (priority side) It is also possible to make it. For example, in the situation where the mission effect shown in the present embodiment (including the modified example) is being executed in the non-priority main game symbol, when a hold occurs in the priority main game symbol, The mission achievement conditions can change during the execution of the mission effect. More specifically, for example, in the second suspension on the non-priority side, it is scheduled to generate a mission effect “Generate a confetti dance effect before 3 changes!” Under the circumstances, if the first hold occurs in the main game symbol on the priority side prior to the reservation, the mission effect is “Generate the effect that confetti dances before 4 changes” It can be changed to "!"
