(Step S402-1)
In step S402-1, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a system sound determination process. In this processing, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs processing for determining whether an output designation command has been received. When receiving the output designation command, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 updates the information of the fixed channel to be used based on the output designation command, and outputs the output designation command to a desired device such as the sound source IC 605 or the VDP 607. Process. Then, when the process of step S402-1 ends, the process proceeds to step S402-2.

In step S402-2, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether an effect designation command has been received. In this process, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 analyzes a command received from the sub control board 400 and performs a process of determining whether or not an effect designation command has been received. If it is determined that an effect designation command has been received (step S402-2 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S402-3, and if it is determined that an effect designation command has not been received (step S402). -2 = No), the sound reproduction control process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S403 of the main process in the effect control board 600.

(Step S402-3)
In step S402-3, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines sound data to be output based on the effect designation command (hereinafter referred to as effect output sound data), and the sound data having the same sound number as the determined effect output sound data is reproduced. It is determined whether it is in the middle. That is, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether or not the same audio data as the production output audio data is currently being reproduced. If it is determined that the sound data having the same sound number is being reproduced (step S402-3 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S402-4, and the sound data having the same sound number is not being reproduced. Is determined (step S402-3 = No), the process proceeds to step S402-5.

(Step S402-4)
In step S402-4, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs playback sound stop processing. Specifically, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a process of stopping output from the channel that is reproducing the sound data having the same sound number as the effect output sound data searched in the process of step S402-3. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 stores the channel number at which the reproduction output of the audio data is stopped in the storage area of the output stopped channel in the channel information storage area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603. Then, when the process of step S402-4 ends, the process proceeds to step S402-9.

(Step S402-5)
In step S402-5, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs an empty channel search process. This empty channel search process will be described later. In this process, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for an empty channel by a search method described later, and stores the found empty channel in the storage area of the output target empty channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603. Then, when the process of step S402-5 ends, the process proceeds to step S402-6.

(Step S402-6)
In step S402-6, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether there is an empty channel. Specifically, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether or not empty channel information is stored in the storage area of the output target empty channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that there is an empty channel if the empty channel information is stored in the output target empty channel storage area, and the empty channel information is stored in the output target empty channel storage area. It is determined that there is no free channel. If it is determined that there is an empty channel (step S402-6 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S402-9, and if it is determined that there is no empty channel (step S402-6 = No). ), And the process proceeds to step S402-7.

(Step S402-7)
In step S402-7, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a stop channel search process. This stop channel search process will be described later. In this process, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a stop channel by a search method described later, and stores the found stop channel in the storage area of the output stop target channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603. Then, when the process of step S402-7 ends, the process proceeds to step S402-8.

(Step S402-8)
In step S402-8, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs playback sound stop processing. Specifically, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 reproduces the audio data being reproduced from the stop channel searched in the process of step S402-7, that is, the channel stored in the storage area of the output stop target channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603. Processing to stop the output of. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 stores the channel number at which the reproduction output of the audio data is stopped in the storage area of the output stopped channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603. Then, when the process of step S402-8 ends, the process proceeds to step S402-9.

(Step S402-9)
In step S402-9, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a channel setting process which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. In this process, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a process of setting a channel for outputting the audio data scheduled to be output this time. Then, when the process of step S402-9 ends, the process proceeds to step S402-10.

(Step S402-10)
In step S402-10, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs sound reproduction execution processing. In this process, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a process of reproducing and outputting the audio data scheduled to be output this time for the set channel. When the process of step S402-10 is completed, the sound reproduction control process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S403 of the main process in the effect control board 600.

(Free channel search process)
Here, the empty channel search process will be described.

  In the empty channel search process, first, it is determined whether or not the output channel of the audio data requested to be output is designated in advance. That is, it is determined whether the designated audio data is fixed channel audio data or variable channel audio data.

  If the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the designated audio data is audio data for a fixed channel, the unique channel number to which the designated audio data is to be output is set as an empty channel, and this channel number is set. Then, it is stored in the storage area of the output target empty channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603.

If the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the designated audio data is the audio data for the variable channel, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches whether there is an empty channel in the variable channel, that is, 06CH to 39CH.
The variable channel empty channel search method is roughly divided into whether the audio data to be output is stereo audio data or monaural audio data.

  When the audio data to be output is stereo audio data, it is searched from the upper channel whether two channels are continuously available from the even channel number.

  That is, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 first determines whether 06CH and 07CH are vacant. If the 06CH and 07CH are not vacant, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 next determines whether the 08CH and 09CH are vacant.

  If the 08CH and 09CH are not available, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches in the same way in the lower direction until a free space is found. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether or not 38CH and 39CH are free. If not, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that there is no free channel. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that there is an empty channel when an empty channel is found during the search, and stores the searched channel number in the storage area of the output target empty channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603.

  On the other hand, if the audio data to be output is monaural audio data, one of the two channels, an even channel number and the next odd channel number, is in use and the other is free. Search whether there is.

  If there is no empty channel that is not paired, an empty channel search is performed from the lower channels. That is, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for free channels from 39CH to 38CH, 37CH... 06CH in the upper direction. Since it is known that there is no empty channel in the pair, it is possible to search only for odd channels. If a free channel is found by this search, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that there is a free channel and stores the searched channel number in the storage area of the output target free channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603.

(Stop channel search process)
Next, stop channel search processing will be described.
Note that the stop channel search process is in progress to stop part of the currently output audio data and free up an output channel when there is no available channel for outputting new audio data. This is a process for searching for a channel to stop the audio data. Further, there are several methods for the stop channel search process as described below.

  First, in the stop channel search process, a stop channel is searched based on the priority of output of audio data.

  In the stop channel search process based on the priority order, the priority order of the audio data scheduled to be output this time is included in the search condition, and the stop channel is searched. If the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time is included in the search condition, depending on the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time and the priority of the audio data being output, there is no stop channel that matches the search condition. In some cases, audio data to be output is not output.

  On the other hand, it is possible to search for the stop channel without including the priority order of the audio data scheduled to be output this time in the search condition. If the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time is not included in the search condition, any channel outputting audio data can be searched as a stop channel, and the audio data scheduled to be output this time is output from the searched channel. be able to.

  In addition, in the search process of the stop channel based on the priority order, when the priority order of the audio data scheduled to be output this time is included in the search condition, the search priority is the same as the priority order of the audio data scheduled to be output this time. It can be included or it can be included.

  If the search priority does not include data with the same priority as the audio data scheduled to be output this time, the audio data with the priority higher than the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output will be searched. The search is performed only from the audio data that is lower than the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time. Therefore, if there is no audio data whose priority is lower than the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time, there is no stop channel that matches the search condition, and the audio data scheduled to be output this time is output. I won't let you.

  On the other hand, if the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time is included in the search target, the priority of the audio data being output is higher than the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time. The search is excluded from the search target, and the search is performed only from the audio data of the priority order or lower that is scheduled to be output this time. In this case, if the audio data being output has only audio data with a higher priority than the priority of the audio data scheduled to be output this time, there is no stop channel corresponding to the search condition, and the audio data scheduled to be output this time Do not output.

  Next, a method for determining a stop channel when the priority order of audio data to be searched is the same will be described. In the present embodiment, when the priority order is the same, the following two examples will be described as a stop channel determination method.

  Here, as a method for determining the first stop channel, a method in which the audio data being output with a short remaining reproduction time is determined as a stop channel from the channel being output. In addition, as a method for determining the second stop channel, a method in which the oldest channel in which the output of the audio data being output is started is determined as the stop channel from the channel being output.

  As a method of determining the stop channel, the audio data being output that has a long remaining playback time is determined as the stop channel from the channel being output, or a new one in the order in which the output of the audio data being output is started The channel being output may be determined as a stop channel, or the audio data being output having a short total reproduction time may be determined as the stop channel from the channel being output.

  In addition, as a method of determining the stop channel, when determining that the remaining playback time of the audio data being output is short from the channel being output as the stop channel, compare it with the playback time of the audio data scheduled to be output this time. Also good. In other words, when the remaining playback time of the searched audio data being output is longer than the playback time of the audio data scheduled to be output this time, the channel on which the searched audio data is being output is excluded from the target of the stop channel. May be.

(Channel setting process)
Next, based on FIG. 83, the channel setting process performed by the process of step S402-9 of FIG. 82 will be described. FIG. 83 is a diagram showing a subroutine of channel setting processing.

(Step S402-9-1)
In step S402-9-1, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether there is a stopped channel. That is, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether or not a predetermined channel is stored in the storage area of the output stopped channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603. If it is determined that there is a stopped channel (step S402-9-1 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S402-9-2. If it is determined that there is no stopped channel ( Step S402-9-1 = No), the process proceeds to step S402-9-3.

(Step S402-9-2)
In step S402-9-2, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a stop channel setting process. In this process, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a process of setting the channel stored in the storage area of the output stopped channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603 as a channel for reproducing and outputting the audio data scheduled to be output this time. When the process of step S402-9-2 ends, the channel setting process ends, and the process proceeds to step S402-10 of the sound reproduction control process.

(Step S402-9-3)
In step S402-9-3, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs an empty channel setting process. In this process, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 performs a process of setting the channel stored in the storage area of the output target empty channel in the channel information area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603 as a channel for reproducing and outputting the audio data scheduled to be output this time. When the process of step S402-9-3 ends, the channel setting process ends, and the process proceeds to step S402-10 of the sound reproduction control process.

  It should be noted that a liquid crystal control interrupt process (not shown) occurs at a predetermined interval with respect to the main process in the effect control board 600. In this liquid crystal control interrupt process, a process for updating the remaining reproduction time of each channel in the channel state management map in the channel information storage area of the liquid crystal control RAM 603 is performed.

  Next, FIGS. 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 93, 94, 95, 96, timing charts of FIGS. 89, 91, and FIG. The present invention will be described with reference to the sound volume graph of FIG.

(Explanation of timing chart terminology)
First, terms used in the timing chart will be described. First, “music A” is, for example, BGM output from a speaker (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42, lower right speaker 43) based on music data stored in the sound source ROM 606. (Background music). The sound source ROM 606 may store music data corresponding to “Song B”, music data corresponding to “Song C”, and the like in addition to music data corresponding to “Music A”.

  Next, “mute” means that the music is output (ON) but no sound is output, and when “mute” is ON, “sound” described later is in a mute state. Become. On the other hand, when “Mute” is OFF, “Sound” described later is in a sound output state.

  Next, “sound” represents a sound based on “song A”, and when “mute” described above is OFF, “sound” based on “song A” represents a sound output state. If “Mute” is ON, “Sound” based on “Song A” is muted. It is configured so that the sound is gradually output when the sound is changed from the mute state to the sound output state, and is gradually turned off when the sound is changed from the sound output state to the mute state. Since it is configured, in FIGS. 84 to 88, it is partially represented by a curve.

  Next, the “successful sound” is a sound that is output when it is determined that the player is in an advantageous state for the player and the determination result is notified to the player. Note that the state advantageous to the player corresponds to a bonus game such as a big bonus or a regular bonus, a special game such as an RT game state, an ART state, or an AT state, or an additional game with the number of games in the ART state.

  Next, the “BET sound” is a sound generated to notify the player that a medal has been inserted based on the insertion of a medal necessary for the game. It should be noted that the insertion of medals necessary for the game is performed under the situation where a predetermined number of medals are stored, the BET button 7 or the MAXBET button 8 is operated, or the predetermined number of medals are not stored. This is done by inserting a medal from the medal slot 6. The number of medals required for a game is three per game, but may be two per game or one per game.

  Next, the “reel rotation start sound” refers to a reel (left reel 18, middle reel 19) based on the player operating the start lever 10 in a situation where medals necessary for the game are inserted. , A sound that is output to notify the player that the rotation of the right reel 20) has started.

  Next, the “stop sound” is a sound generated to notify the player that the reel has stopped based on the stop button being operated by the player. Specifically, the left stop button 11 corresponding to the left reel 18 is operated and the left reel 18 is stopped, and the middle stop button 12 corresponding to the middle reel 19 is operated and the middle reel 19 is stopped. When the right stop button 13 corresponding to the right reel 20 is operated and the right reel 20 stops, a sound is output. Therefore, in FIGS. 84 to 88, three stop sounds corresponding to each of the left reel 18, the middle reel 19, and the right reel 20 are emitted.

  Next, the “payout sound” is a sound that is emitted in synchronism with the payout of medals after the symbol combination with payout is stopped on the active line. In addition, the sound is generated to notify the player that the payout has been made. For example, when the symbol combination of “Bell A”, “Bell A”, and “Bell A” is stopped on the active line, nine payouts are made, and a payout sound constituted by a payout time described later is generated. Sound is emitted.

  Next, the “sound that prompts the operation of the effect button” is a sound that is output when the operation of the effect button 21 in the operation acceptance state is prompted. For example, in one game, at the timing after all the stop buttons are operated, a sound such as “Press!” Is output together with the effect button image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46, so that the effect button 21 is displayed to the player. Prompt for operation. The production button 21 is not always in the operation acceptance state, but changes from the operation non-acceptance state to the operation acceptance state and from the operation acceptance state to the operation non-acceptance state.

  Next, the “failure sound” is a sound that is emitted when the determination result is notified to the player when it is not determined to shift to a state advantageous to the player. Note that the state advantageous to the player corresponds to a bonus game such as a big bonus or a regular bonus, a special game such as an RT game state, an ART state, or an AT state, or an additional game with the number of games in the ART state.

  Note that the “sound” is not limited to the example given above. For example, when the start lever 10 is operated by the player in a situation where medals necessary for the game are inserted, the start lever 10 The start lever 10 was operated by the player in a situation where a “lever sound” sounded to notify the player of the operation or a medal necessary for the game was inserted. When the rotation start condition is not satisfied (when the so-called wait time has not elapsed), a sound is output to notify the player that the reel rotation start condition is not satisfied (in the wait state). “Waiting sound” and the like can also be included in the “sound” mentioned above.

  Next, “Song B” is the same as “Song A” described above, for example, based on the music data stored in the sound source ROM 606, the speakers (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42). BGM output from the lower right speaker 43) corresponds to this. Note that “Song A” and “Song B” are composed of different songs.

  Note that “Sound” in FIG. 88 corresponds to “Song A” and “Song B”. That is, when “Song A” is ON, “Sound” based on “Song A” is output, and when “Song B” is ON, “Sound” is based on “Song B”. "Will be output.

(Detailed explanation of timing chart)
84 to 88, for example, it is assumed that you are staying in a chance zone that moves with a predetermined probability when winning a watermelon with a winning number “25” or a weak cherry with a winning number “26”. ing. In this chance zone, a lottery for shifting to a state advantageous to the player (for example, Bonus preparation state) is performed with a transition probability (for example, a lottery probability based on FIG. 25C) according to the winning combination. From the time when a medal is betted and the start lever 10 is operated (after the game is started), until a lottery result for shifting to a state advantageous to the player (for example, a Bonus preparation state) is derived (the game ends) Up to). The lottery result is derived by operating the effect button 21. In the chance zone, the lottery transition to the Bonus ready state is performed with the lottery probability based on FIG. 25C. However, all the winning combinations are advantageous to the player (for example, the Bonus ready state). A lottery to be transferred may be performed, or a lottery to be shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, Bonus preparation state) only when a specific combination (for example, a bell combination or a replay combination) is established. . The chance zone corresponds to the aforementioned “chance state” (see FIG. 22). In the chance zone, the operation of the effect button 21 is not necessarily provided, and whether or not to shift to a state advantageous to the player at a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed after the third stop operation is performed. A configuration may be used in which a success sound or a failure sound is output based on the determination result. In addition, although the operation of the effect button 21 is provided, if the operation of the effect button 21 is not performed by the player within the operation effective period, a success sound or a failure sound is automatically output after the operation effective period has elapsed. It may be a configuration.

  The chance zone is composed of a plurality of games (for example, 10 games). In FIG. 85, the chance zone represents a game other than the last game in the chance zone (for example, the first game to the ninth game). Represents the final game (for example, the 10th game) in the chance zone. 84 to 86, the sound is muted by muting, and in FIG. 87, the sound is muted by temporarily stopping. In FIG. 88, “Song A” is stopped and muted, and then “Song B” is output. Note that “Song A” or “Song B” is a song that is output during the chance zone.

(Timing chart 1 in FIG. 84)
First, at timing (A) in the timing chart 1 of FIG. 84, a BET sound is produced by the player operating the BET button 7 or the MAXBET button 8. At timing (A), music A is turned on. At timing (A), a sound is emitted. That is, a sound based on the music A is produced by operating the BET button 7 and the MAXBET button 8 which are game start operations.

  Next, at timing (B), the BET sound is muted. In other words, when the BET button 7 or the MAXBET button 8 that is a game start operation is performed, a BET sound and a sound based on the music A are emitted, but the BET sound is a bet on the medal. Immediately after this is notified, the sound is muted.

  Next, at timing (C), based on the start lever 10 being operated by the player, reel rotation is started and a reel rotation start sound is produced. After the reel rotation start sound is output, the reel rotation start sound is muted at timing (D). That is, the reel rotation start sound is immediately muted after notifying that the reel has started rotating.

  Next, at the timing (E), the stop button is operated by the player, and the stop sound is generated by stopping the reel. Then, after the stop sound is output, the stop sound is muted at timing (F). That is, the stop sound is immediately muted after notifying that the stop button has been operated. For convenience, the description will be made assuming that the stop button is operated in the order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13. Therefore, the stop sound that is output at timing (E) and muted at timing (F) corresponds to the stop sound of the left reel 18 that is stopped by operating the left stop button 11.

  Next, at the timing (G), the stop button is operated by the player, and the stop sound is emitted by stopping the reel. Then, after the stop sound is output, the stop sound is muted at timing (H). That is, the stop sound is immediately muted after notifying that the stop button has been operated. The stop sound that is output at timing (G) and muted at timing (H) corresponds to the stop sound of the middle reel 19 that is stopped by operating the middle stop button 12.

  Next, at the timing (I), the stop button is operated by the player, and the stop sound is emitted by stopping the reel. After the stop sound is output, the stop sound is muted at timing (J). That is, the stop sound is immediately muted after notifying that the stop button has been operated. The stop sound that is output at timing (I) and muted at timing (J) corresponds to the stop sound of the right reel 20 that is stopped by operating the right stop button 13.

  Next, at timing (K), a payout sound is emitted on the active line based on the fact that the symbol combination with payout has stopped. In the example in FIG. 84, the explanation will be made assuming that “push order bell A1” of the winning number “32” is determined as the winning combination. Therefore, the symbol combination of the left “bell A”, the middle “bell A”, and the right “bell A” constituting the “push order bell A1” is stopped on the effective line. After the payout sound is output, the payout sound is muted at timing (L). Note that the sound based on the music A is gradually muted from the timing (J) when the third stop operation is performed to the timing (L) when the payout sound is muted.

  Next, at timing (L), the payout sound is muted, the mute is turned on, and the sound based on the music A is muted. In addition, a sound prompting the user to operate the effect button (effect button 21) is output. The voice prompting the operation of the effect button is, for example, a voice such as “Press!”. Then, after the sound for prompting the operation of the effect button is output, the sound for prompting the operation of the effect button is muted at timing (M). That is, the sound prompting the operation of the effect button is immediately muted after the notification for prompting the operation of the effect button is performed.

  Although not shown, at time (L), the effect button 21 changes from the operation non-acceptance state to the operation acceptance state. When in this operation acceptance state, the operation of the effect button 21 is accepted. If the effect button 21 is operated while in this operation acceptance state, in the example of FIG. 84, the lottery result (winning) to be shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, the ART state) is obtained. It has come to inform. The operation acceptance state is configured from a predetermined time, and the operation acceptance state corresponds to the operation valid period in the present invention.

  In the case of winning, since the state shifts from the chance zone to, for example, the Bonus preparation state, the music A that is turned on in the chance zone is turned off. The second period in the present invention corresponds to the period from the timing (L) to the timing (N) in FIG. Further, the first period in the present invention corresponds to the period from timing (A) to timing (L) in FIG. Note that the first period may be from timing (A) in FIG. 84 to timing (J) before the sound is gradually muted.

  Then, at timing (N), a success sound is output, thereby informing that the state is shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, ART state). Then, the sound output of the music A is turned off, and the mute is also turned off. At timing (O), the success sound is silenced.

  As described above, in the period from the timing (L) to the timing (N), which is the second period, the mute is turned on so that the sound based on the music that has been output so far is in the mute state. By changing the sound output situation in this way, it is possible to notify that the timing for notifying whether or not to shift to the privilege game advantageous for the player set after the timing (L) has arrived. , Can make the attention point clear.

  In the description of FIG. 84 described above, a pachislot machine has been described as an example. However, the same description as that of FIG. 84 can be applied even during reach in a pachinko machine. For example, in a pachinko machine equipped with an effect that informs whether it is a win or a miss by pressing the effect button after developing to super reach, muting is performed before the effect button pressing timing. To mute the sound. If comprised in this way, the effect similar to the effect in the said pachislot will be acquired.

(Timing chart 2 in FIG. 85)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 2 of FIG. 85 is another example of FIG. 84, and therefore, in FIG. 85, description of the same parts as in FIG. 84 is omitted, and only differences from FIG. 84 will be described.

  In the example of FIG. 85, a lottery result (out of date) that is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, ART state) is notified. If there is a remaining number of games in the chance zone when there is a loss, the music A that is turned on in the chance zone is kept on in order to shift to the next game in the chance zone.

  In other words, at the timing (N), a failure sound is output, thereby notifying that the state is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, the ART state). Then, the sound output of the music A is kept ON, and the mute is turned OFF. Then, at timing (O), the failure sound is silenced, and the process proceeds to the next game in the chance zone. The second period in the present invention corresponds to the period from timing (L) to timing (N) in FIG. Further, the first period in the present invention corresponds to the period from the timing (A) to the timing (L) in FIG. Note that the first period may be from timing (A) in FIG. 85 to timing (J) before the sound is gradually muted.

  As described above, in the period from the timing (L) to the timing (N), which is the second period, as in FIG. 84, the mute is turned on, so that the sound based on the music that has been output is muted. . By changing the sound output situation in this way, it is possible to notify that the timing for notifying whether or not to shift to the privilege game advantageous for the player set after the timing (L) has arrived. , Can make the attention point clear.

(Timing chart 3 in FIG. 86)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 3 of FIG. Note that FIG. 86 is another example of FIG. 84, so in FIG. 86, the description of the same part as in FIG. 84 is omitted, and only the difference from FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 86, a lottery result (out of date) that is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, ART state) is notified. In FIG. 86, since the last game in the chance zone is shown, the chance zone ends in the game in which the outage has been notified, so the music A that is turned on in the chance zone is turned off.

  In other words, at the timing (N), a failure sound is output, thereby notifying that the state is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, the ART state). Then, the sound output of the music A is turned off and the mute is turned off. Then, at the timing (O), the failure zone is silenced and the chance zone is terminated. Note that the second period in the present invention corresponds to the period from the timing (L) to the timing (N) in FIG. Further, the first period in the present invention corresponds to the period from the timing (A) to the timing (L) in FIG. Note that the first period may be from timing (A) in FIG. 86 to timing (J) before the sound is gradually muted.

  As described above, as in FIGS. 84 and 85, in the period from the timing (L) to the timing (N) that is the second period, the mute is turned on to mute the sound based on the music that has been output until then. State. By changing the sound output situation in this way, it is possible to notify that the timing for notifying whether or not to shift to the privilege game advantageous for the player set after the timing (L) has arrived. , Can make the attention point clear.

(Timing chart 4 in FIG. 87)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 4 of FIG. Note that FIG. 87 is another example of FIG. 84, and therefore, in FIG. 87, description of the same parts as in FIG. 84 is omitted, and only differences from FIG. 84 will be described.

  In the example shown in FIG. 87, a lottery result (displacement) that is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, ART state) is notified. If there is a remaining number of games in the chance zone when the game is out of place, the next game in the chance zone is shifted to, so the music A that is turned on in the chance zone is turned on again and temporarily Play again from where it was stopped.

  In other words, at the timing (N), a failure sound is output, thereby notifying that the state is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, the ART state). Then, the sound output of the music A is turned ON again. Then, at timing (O), the failure sound is silenced and the game moves to the next game in the chance zone. The second period in the present invention corresponds to the period from timing (L) to timing (N) in FIG. Further, the first period in the present invention corresponds to the period from the timing (A) to the timing (L) in FIG. Note that the first period may be from timing (A) in FIG. 87 to timing (J) before the sound is gradually muted.

  As described above, in the period from the timing (L) to the timing (N), which is the second period, as in FIGS. The sound based on was made into the mute state. By changing the sound output situation in this way, it is possible to notify that the timing for notifying whether or not to shift to the privilege game advantageous for the player set after the timing (L) has arrived. , Can make the attention point clear.

(Timing chart 5 in FIG. 88)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 5 of FIG. Since FIG. 88 is another example of FIG. 84, the description of the same parts as those in FIG. 84 is omitted in FIG. 88, and only the differences from FIG. 84 will be described.

  In the example of FIG. 88, a lottery result (out of date) that is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, the ART state) is notified. In the example of FIG. 88, the music that is output for each game is different. That is, in the game in which the music A is turned on, if it is out of place, the music B different from the music A is output in the next game in the chance zone.

  In other words, at the timing (N), a failure sound is output, thereby notifying that the state is not shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, the ART state). Then, the sound output of the music B is turned ON. Then, at timing (O), the failure sound is silenced and the game moves to the next game in the chance zone. The second period in the present invention corresponds to the period from timing (L) to timing (N) in FIG. Further, the first period in the present invention corresponds to the period from timing (A) to timing (L) in FIG. Note that the first period may be from timing (A) in FIG. 88 to timing (J) before the sound is gradually muted.

  As described above, as in FIGS. 84, 85, 86, and 87, in the period from the timing (L) to the timing (N), which is the second period, the music that has been output until then is stopped by stopping the music. The sound based on was made into a mute state. By changing the sound output situation in this way, it is possible to notify that the timing for notifying whether or not to shift to the privilege game advantageous for the player set after the timing (L) has arrived. , Can make the attention point clear.

(Animation in Fig. 89)
Next, an animation effect based on the timing charts of FIGS. 84, 85, 86, 87, and 88 will be described based on FIG. Note that the animation effect shown in FIG. 89 is an effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46.

  First, in FIG. 89 (A), a teammate character image and an enemy character image are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46, and a state in which both characters confront each other is shown. Note that FIG. 89A is displayed from timing (C) to timing (L) in FIGS. 84 to 88.

  Next, in FIG. 89B, an image prompting the player to operate the effect button 21 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46. Note that FIG. 89B is displayed from the timing (L) to the timing (M) in FIGS. 84 to 88.

  Next, in FIG. 89C, an image in which the teammate character has won is displayed. Note that FIG. 89C is displayed from timing (N) to timing (O) in FIG. That is, in the case of a lottery result for shifting to a state advantageous to the player, an image of winning the teammate character is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46 together with the sound of the success sound.

  Next, in FIG. 89D, an image in which the teammate character is defeated is displayed. Note that FIG. 89D is displayed from timing (N) to timing (O) in FIGS. That is, in the case of a lottery result that does not shift to a state advantageous to the player, an image in which the teammate character is defeated is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46 together with the sound of the failure sound.

(Timing chart 6 in FIG. 90)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 6 of FIG. Note that “Song A” in FIG. 90 is the same as the contents described in FIGS. 84 to 88 and will not be described. However, as a method of turning off “Song A”, FIG. A method such as mute or pause as described with reference to FIG. 88 can be applied. The “success sound” is a sound that is output when the game in the freeze state described later continues and the number of games is added, and the “failure sound” is a game in the freeze state described later. Is a sound that is output when the game number is not continued and the number of games is not added. “Start sw” indicates detection of operation of the start lever 10 by the start switch 10 sw. That is, when “start sw” is ON, it indicates that the start lever 10 has been operated. When “start sw” is OFF, the start lever 10 has been operated. This indicates a state in which this is not detected. Instead of “start sw”, for example, the MAXBET switch 8sw may detect that the MAXBET button 8 has been operated.

  In FIG. 90, “A melody”, “B melody”, and “rust” are elements constituting the music piece A. For example, when “A melody” is present, the “A melody” portion of the music piece A is reproduced. When “B melody” is present, the “B melody” portion of the music piece A is reproduced, and when “Cabi” is present, the “rust” portion of the music piece A is reproduced. Note that the musical piece A is configured in the order of “A melody”, “B melody”, and “rust”, and “B melody” is configured as a portion connected to “rust”. The “rust” corresponds to the most exciting part of the music piece A. 90, the “A melody” and “B melody” portions of the music piece A constitute a normal reproduction portion in the present invention, and the “rust” portion of the music piece A is a specific reproduction in the present invention. Make up part.

  In FIG. 90, unlike FIGS. 84 to 88, it is assumed that the user is staying in the frozen state, and the number of ART games is increased during the frozen state. Has been. In the freeze state, a game (pseudo game) can be performed a plurality of times only when a continuation rate configured with a predetermined probability is won. In this case, as the number of games is increased, the number of ART games is increased, so whether the game is continued or not is of great interest to the player. In FIG. 90, in the case of continuation, the climax part of the music is reproduced to notify that the game has been continued, and in the case of non-continuation, the climax part of the music is not reproduced. , The game is discontinued. That is, in FIG. 90, the privilege game advantageous to the player corresponds to a game (pseudo game) performed during the freeze state, and it is advantageous for the player to win the continuous lottery of this game (pseudo game). It corresponds to shifting to a special award game, and winning a game (pseudo game) continuation lottery corresponds to not shifting to a privilege game advantageous to the player.

  First, at the timing (A) in FIG. 90 (a), the music A is turned ON, and the reproduction of the A melody portion constituting the music A is started. The reproduction of the A melody part is performed for a predetermined time, and when the predetermined time has elapsed, the reproduction of the B melody part is started.

  Next, at the timing (B) in FIG. 90A, the music A is turned off and the reproduction of the B melody portion is stopped. After that, notification that prompts the user to operate the start lever 10 is performed using, for example, the liquid crystal display device 46 (FIG. 91C described later).

  Next, at timing (C) in FIG. 90 (a), the start lever 10 is operated by the player, and the start sw is turned on. Then, at the timing (D) in FIG. 90 (a), the start sw is turned off and the music piece A is turned on to reproduce the climax part. In addition, at the timing (D) in FIG. 90 (a), the success sound is turned on separately from the music piece A to notify that the number of games will be added as the game continues in the freeze state. It is composed. Note that the success sound is turned off at timing (E) in FIG. 90 (a). Note that the timing (D) in FIG. 90 (a) constitutes the specific timing in the unit game of the present invention. Note that the playback of the B melody portion of the music piece A may be performed until the timing (D) which is the specific timing, or as shown in FIG. 90, until the timing (D) which is the specific timing. May be. However, as shown in FIG. 90, when playback is performed before timing (D), which is the specific timing, the playback end point (timing (B)) of the B melody portion and the specific timing (timing (D)) )) Is preferably shorter in consideration of the connection between the B melody portion and the rust portion, and is assumed to be about 2 to 3 seconds.

  In other words, during the freeze state, until the timing for notifying whether the game (pseudo game) is to be continued or discontinued, the A melody portion and the B melody portion connected to the rust portion are reproduced. When the timing for notifying whether the game is to be continued or not is reached and the game is to be continued, the rust portion connected from the B melody portion is reproduced. Therefore, it is possible to notify that the game during the freeze production has continued by reproducing the most chorus portion in the music, so that it is possible to further improve the entertainment interest. If the first game is continued, another song may be output in the second game.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 90B, at the timing (A), the music A is turned ON, and the reproduction of the A melody portion constituting the music A is started. The reproduction of the A melody part is performed for a predetermined time, and when the predetermined time has elapsed, the reproduction of the B melody part is started.

  Next, at the timing (B) in FIG. 90 (b), the music A is turned off and the reproduction of the B melody portion is stopped. After that, notification that prompts the user to operate the start lever 10 is performed using, for example, the liquid crystal display device 46 (FIG. 91C described later).

  Next, at the timing (C) in FIG. 90B, the start lever 10 is operated by the player, and the start sw is turned on. Then, at the timing (D) in FIG. 90 (b), the start sw is turned off, and the tune A is kept off and the climax part is not reproduced. In addition, at timing (D) in FIG. 90 (b), the failure sound is turned ON to notify the non-continuation of the game during the freeze state. Note that the failure sound is turned off at timing (E) in FIG. 90 (b).

  In other words, when the game is non-continuous, it is possible to give higher value to the reproduction of the chorus part that is performed when the game is continued by not reproducing the chorus part.

  In the description of FIG. 90 described above, a pachislot machine has been described as an example. However, the same description as that of FIG. For example, in the case of a pachinko machine equipped with an effect that informs whether it is a win or not by depressing the effect button after developing to super reach, if the win, it will play the chorus part If it is off, the rust portion is not reproduced. If comprised in this way, the effect similar to the effect in the said pachislot will be acquired.

(Animation in Fig. 91)
Next, an animation effect based on the timing chart of FIG. 90 will be described based on FIG. The animation effect shown in FIG. 91 indicates an effect performed using the liquid crystal display device 46 and the reels (the left reel 18, the middle reel 19, and the right reel 20).

  91 is a drawing showing a pseudo game in a frozen state, so the “stop display” used in the description of FIG. 91 is not a state where the symbols are completely stopped and displayed, but a fluctuation display is performed. It refers to the state that has been broken. In FIG. 91, when the start lever 10 is operated (“game start operation” in FIG. 91), a transition is made to the freeze state, and then FIG. 91 (A) is reached. 91 (A), (B), (C), and (D) show that the game is in the freeze state (pseudo game), and FIG. 91 (E) is the game in the freeze state ( (Pseudo game) has ended. That is, after reaching FIG. 91 (E), a game based on the “game start operation” described above is started. That is, the left reel 18, the middle reel 19, and the right reel 20 start to change. On the other hand, as long as the game in the frozen state (pseudo game) is continued, FIG. 91 (E) is not reached and shown in FIGS. 91 (A), (B), (C), and (D). A game (pseudo game) is repeatedly executed.

  First, in FIG. 91A, the left reel 18 is stopped and displayed. At this time, in the left reel 18, the “replay A” symbol is stopped and displayed on the upper left reel, the “blue seven” symbol is stopped and displayed on the middle left reel, and the “cherry” symbol is stopped and displayed on the lower left reel. ing. The reel may be stopped either automatically or manually. On the liquid crystal display device 46, “+10” indicating that the ART game has been added 10 games is displayed, and the appearance that the teammate character is dominant is displayed. That is, 10 games are added based on the fact that the left reel 18 is stopped and displayed. The middle reel 19 and the right reel 20 are changing. FIG. 91A corresponds to timing (A) to timing (B) in the timing chart in FIG.

  Next, in FIG. 91 (B), the right reel 20 is stopped and displayed following the left reel 18. At this time, in the right reel 20, the “watermelon” symbol is stopped and displayed on the upper right reel, the “blue seven” symbol is stopped and displayed on the middle right reel, and the “bell B” symbol is stopped and displayed on the lower right reel. Yes. That is, in this state, the “Blue Seven” symbol in the middle of the left reel and the “Blue Seven” symbol in the middle of the right reel are stopped and displayed, and the “Blue Seven” symbol is stopped and displayed in the middle of the middle reel. The state (listening state of the blue seven symbol) is constructed. The reel may be stopped either automatically or manually. On the liquid crystal display device 46, “+10” indicating that the ART game has been added 10 games is displayed, and the appearance that the teammate character is dominant is displayed. That is, 10 games are added based on the stop display of the right reel 20. Note that the middle reel 19 is changing. FIG. 91B corresponds to timing (B) to timing (C) in the timing chart in FIG.

  Next, in FIG. 91C, the liquid crystal display device 46 displays a display image of “hit the start lever!” Prompting the operation of the start lever 10, and the teammate character and the enemy character face each other. Is displayed. The MAX BET button 8 may be operated without being limited to the start lever. FIG. 91C corresponds to timing (B) to timing (C) in the timing chart in FIG.

  Next, in FIG. 91D, the middle reel 19 is stopped and displayed based on the operation of the start lever 10. At this time, in the middle reel 19, the “watermelon” symbol is stopped and displayed on the upper stage of the middle reel, the “blue seven” symbol is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle reel, and the “replay A” symbol is stopped and displayed on the lower stage of the middle reel. ing. That is, in this state, the “blue seven” symbol in the middle left reel, the “blue seven” symbol in the middle middle reel, and the “blue seven” symbol in the middle right reel are all stopped and displayed. On the liquid crystal display device 46, “+100” (TOTAL +120) indicating that the ART game has been added 100 games is displayed, and a state in which the teammate character is dominant is displayed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 91D, when the “blue seven” symbol is stopped and displayed on the middle line, the game in the freeze state is continued, and the process proceeds to FIG. 91A again. Whether the game in the frozen state is continued or not is continued lottery when the operation of the start lever 10 in FIG. 91 (C) is performed. FIG. 91 (D) corresponds to the timing (D) and thereafter in the timing chart in FIG. 90 (a), and the climax part of the music piece A is being reproduced.

  On the other hand, FIG. 91E shows a state in which the middle reel 19 is stopped and displayed based on the operation of the start lever 10. At this time, in the middle reel 19, the “cherry” symbol is stopped on the upper middle reel, the “watermelon” symbol is stopped on the middle middle reel, and the “blue seven” symbol is stopped on the lower middle reel. . In other words, in this state, the “Blue Seven” symbol in the middle left reel, the “Blue Seven” symbol in the middle reel, and the “Blue Seven” symbol in the middle right reel are all aligned and are not stopped. In the liquid crystal display device 46, “+20”, which is the total number of games added to TOTAL, is displayed, and the appearance that the teammate character is inferior is displayed. As shown in FIG. 91E, when the “blue seven” symbol is not stopped and displayed on the middle line, the game in the freeze state is discontinued and the freeze effect is ended. FIG. 91D corresponds to the timing (D) after the timing chart in FIG. 90B, and the climax part of the music piece A is not reproduced. In addition, the effect pattern corresponding to the character image displayed in FIG. 91 (A) and FIG. 91 (B) selects the effect pattern in which a teammate character predominates with high probability, when a game continues. When the game is non-continuation, an effect pattern in which the teammate character is inferior with high probability may be selected, and the subsequent result may be suggested in advance.

(Volume graph in Fig. 92)
Next, description will be made using the volume graph of FIG. FIG. 92 is a graph showing the relationship between sound output time and sound volume when outputting music. In FIG. 92, the numerical value indicated on the vertical axis represents the volume, and the unit is represented by “dB (decibel)”. Further, the smaller the negative value, the larger the volume value, and the larger the up / down swing width with reference to “∞”, the larger the volume value. The graph shown in FIG. 92A shows, for example, sound output from the upper left speaker 40 and the upper right speaker 42, and the graph shown in FIG. 92B shows, for example, the lower left speaker 41. The sound emitted from the lower right speaker 43 is shown. That is, it shows that one piece of music is output at the same timing just by different speakers, and a waveform in which so-called stereo sound is output is shown.

  First, after the music is output, the sound is output at the same volume until the timing (B). At timing (B), the sound output of the music is silenced until timing (C) is reached. That is, no music is output from timing (B) to timing (C). Since the sound is muted for a short time, the player can listen to the sound as if it was interrupted for a moment. In addition, the reverberation effect (delay processing) is applied to the music at the timing when the timing (A) is reached, and the reverberation effect gradually appears after the timing (B).

  Next, from timing (C) to timing (D), the sound is output again at the same volume, and the volume is reduced during a part of the period.

  Next, between the timing (D) and the timing (E), the sound output of the music is silenced again. Therefore, the sound is interrupted and listened to by the player together with the mute from timing (B) to timing (C). If such a muffle period is provided, the sound reverberation effect can be made clearer than when no mute period is provided, and a clear reverberation effect sound can be output to the player. Can do.

  Next, from timing (E) to timing (F), the sound is output again at the same volume, and the volume is reduced during a part of the period.

  Next, between the timing (F) and the timing (G), the sound output of the music is set to mute again. Therefore, the sound is interrupted and listened to by the player together with the silencing from timing (B) to timing (C) and the silencing from timing (D) to timing (E).

  Next, at the timing (G), the volume is configured to be smaller than the volume when the sound is output until the timing (G). Note that the volume that is output after reaching the timing (G) is configured to be smaller than the volume that is output until the timing (G), even if the volume is the highest. Therefore, the music is gradually interrupted after reaching timing (B), and the volume of the music is gradually reduced after reaching timing (G).

  Next, during the period from the timing (G) to the timing (H), the sound is output so as to finely increase or decrease the volume. Note that, as described above, the maximum volume between the timing (G) and the timing (H) is configured to be smaller than the volume that was output until the timing (G).

  Next, between the timing (H) and the timing (I), the sound output of the music is again silenced. Therefore, the sound is interrupted together with the silencing from timing (B) to timing (C), the silencing from timing (D) to timing (E), and the silencing from timing (F) to timing (G). By adjusting the volume from timing (G) to timing (H), the music is gradually reduced.

  Next, at the timing (I), the volume is configured to be smaller than the volume that was output from the timing (G) to the timing (H). In both FIG. 92 (a) and FIG. 92 (b), the sound output after reaching the timing (I) is from the timing (G) to the timing (H). The volume is smaller than the volume that was emitted during the period. Therefore, after reaching the timing (B), the sound is gradually interrupted, and the volume gradually decreases as the timing (G) and the timing (I) are reached. .

  Next, during the period from the timing (I) to the timing (J), the sound is output so as to finely increase or decrease the volume. As described above, in both FIG. 92 (a) and FIG. 92 (b), the maximum volume between timing (I) and timing (J) is between timing (G) and timing (H). It is configured to be smaller than the sound volume that was emitted at.

  Next, between the timing (J) and the timing (K), the sound output of the music is again silenced. Therefore, mute from timing (B) to timing (C), mute from timing (D) to timing (E), mute from timing (F) to timing (G), and from timing (H) to timing (I) The sound volume is gradually reduced by adjusting the volume from timing (G) to timing (H) and adjusting the volume from timing (I) to timing (J) while the sound is interrupted along with the mute. It is configured.

  Next, at the timing (K), the volume is set to be smaller than the volume of the sound output from the timing (I) to the timing (J). In both FIG. 92 (a) and FIG. 92 (b), the sound output after reaching the timing (K) is from the timing (I) to the timing (J). The volume is smaller than the volume that was emitted during the period. Therefore, after reaching the timing (B), the sound gradually becomes discontinuous, and the volume gradually decreases as the timing (G), the timing (I), and the timing (K) are reached. It is configured.

  Next, during the period from the timing (K) to the timing (L), the sound is output so that the volume is finely increased or decreased. As described above, in both FIG. 92 (a) and FIG. 92 (b), the maximum volume between timing (K) and timing (L) is between timing (I) and timing (J). It is configured to be smaller than the sound volume that was emitted at.

  Next, at the timing (L), the sound output of the music is silenced again, and after reaching the timing (L), the sound output of the music is silenced for a predetermined period. It should be noted that the silencing time after reaching timing (L) is from timing (B) to timing (C), from timing (D) to timing (E), and timing (F ) To timing (G), from timing (H) to timing (I), and from timing (J) to timing (K).

  92A is assigned to the upper left speaker 40 and the upper right speaker 42, and the sound output shown in FIG. 92B is supplied to the lower left speaker 41 and the lower right speaker 43. It can be considered to carry. That is, in both FIG. 92 (a) and FIG. 92 (b), although the sound is gradually interrupted and the sound volume is reduced, the sound volume is higher than that in FIG. 92 (a). It is shown that 92 (b) is set larger. As described above, by setting the volume output from the lower left speaker 41 and the lower right speaker 43 to be larger than that of the upper left speaker 40 and the upper right speaker 42, for example, suppose that a medal is paid out to the tray unit 38. In addition, it is possible to prevent the sound output from the lower left speaker 41 and the lower right speaker 43 from being erased by the sound of paying out medals.

(Timing chart 7 in FIG. 93)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 7 of FIG. Note that “music A”, “success sound”, “BET sound”, “reel rotation start sound”, “stop sound”, “payout sound”, and “sound prompting the operation of the effect button” in FIG. Since it is the same as the content described in the description of FIG. 88, the description is omitted. Further, the process until the payout sound is turned on is the same as that shown in FIG. Note that “delay” indicates a process for giving a reverberation effect to music. When “delay” is ON, the sound is gradually interrupted and the volume is gradually decreased. Configured as follows. For example, in FIG. 92, the “delay” is ON from the timing (A) to the timing (L). On the other hand, when the “delay” is OFF, the music is output at a constant volume. For example, the “delay” is OFF until the timing (A) in FIG. 92 is reached. “Vol” indicates a volume. When the volume is “0”, no sound is output. When the volume is “100”, It shows a state where the sound is emitted at the maximum value. For convenience, only the maximum value is set to “100”, so the value of the maximum value can be arbitrarily changed, and any value can be set between “0” and “100”. It is like that.

  At timing (L), the delay is turned ON. That is, after the payout is performed, the sound being output is interrupted, and the volume is gradually reduced. Note that the timing (L) in FIG. 93 corresponds to the timing (A) in FIG.

  In addition, after the timing (L) when the delay is turned on, the volume is decreased from “100” to “0” and then increased again to “100” twice, as indicated by “Vol”, It is lowered from “100” to “0”, raised to about “80”, and lowered to “0” again. Thereafter, it is raised to about “50” and lowered to “0” again. Thereafter, it is raised to about “30”, lowered to “0” again, and thereafter remains “0”. Therefore, the player can hear that the sound is interrupted and the volume gradually decreases. Note that timing (L) to timing (O) in FIG. 93 corresponds to timing (A) to timing (L) in FIG.

  Next, at timing (M), a sound is generated to prompt the user to operate the effect button (effect button 21). The voice prompting the operation of the effect button is, for example, a voice such as “Press!”. Then, after the sound for prompting the operation of the effect button is output, at the timing (N), the sound for prompting the operation of the effect button is muted. That is, the sound prompting the operation of the effect button is immediately muted after the notification for prompting the operation of the effect button is performed.

  Although not shown, at the timing (M), the effect button 21 changes from the operation non-acceptance state to the operation acceptance state. When in this operation acceptance state, the operation of the effect button 21 is accepted. When the effect button 21 is operated while in this operation acceptance state, in the example of FIG. 93, the lottery result (winning) to be shifted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, the ART state) is obtained. It has come to inform. The operation acceptance state is configured from a predetermined time, and the operation acceptance state corresponds to the operation valid period in the present invention.

  Then, at timing (O), a success sound is output to notify that the player is in a state advantageous for the player (for example, ART state). Then, the sound output of the music A is turned off, and the delay is also turned off. Then, at the timing (P), the success sound is silenced.

  In the case of winning, since the state shifts from the chance zone to, for example, the ART state, the music A that is turned on in the chance zone is turned off. The second period in the present invention corresponds to the period from the timing (L) to the timing (O) in FIG. Further, the first period in the present invention corresponds to the period from timing (A) to timing (L) in FIG. Note that the first period may be from timing (A) in FIG. 93 to timing (J) when the third stop operation is completed. Note that the timing (timing (M)) for turning on the voice prompting the operation of the effect button may be set at the timing (O) when “Vol” becomes “0” or after the timing (O). . In this case, after elapse of a predetermined time from the mute state, for example, a sound such as “Press!” Is output, and it becomes easier to listen to a notification that prompts the user to operate the effect button.

(Timing chart 8 in FIG. 94)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 8 of FIG. FIG. 94 is another example of FIG. Note that “Song A” in FIG. 94 is the same as the contents described in the description of FIGS. Further, “in game” indicates a state in which a player is playing a game. For example, timing (A) to timing (O) in FIG. 93 correspond to the game in FIG. On the other hand, “not playing” indicates a state in which no game is played by the player. For example, the timing until the timing (A) in FIG. 93 or after the timing (O) is shown in FIG. Applicable during non-games. In FIG. 94, “song A” is configured to perform a delay process (a process for applying a reverberation effect to sound). In the delay processing, the data of “Song A” itself may be processed, or sound data subjected to delay processing may be stored in advance.

  First, in FIG. 94A, when a game is started by the player at timing (A), a song based on the song A is output. Then, at timing (B), a delay process (a process for applying a reverberation effect to the sound) is performed on the song “Song A”. Then, from the timing (B) to the timing (C), the music subjected to the delay process is output.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 94 (b), when the game is started by the player at the timing (A), a song based on the song A is output. Then, at timing (B), a delay process (a process for applying a reverberation effect to the sound) is performed on the song “Song A”. Then, from the timing (B) to the timing (C), the music subjected to the delay process is output. In FIG. 94 (b), the game time required for one game is longer than in the example shown in FIG. 94 (a). That is, in the example shown in FIG. 94 (b), a player who is playing a game is assumed to be a player who is not familiar with the game, which takes time to stop the symbol. In this way, when a player who is not familiar with the game is playing a game, using the delay SE, which is dedicated sound data that has been subjected only to the delay process from the timing (C) to the timing (D), The reverberation effect is applied to the sound. The delay SE can be looped. With such a configuration, even if a player who is not used to a game takes time to play the game, the sound reverberation effect is not interrupted, and a reduction in the effect can be prevented. The delay SE is stored in the sound source ROM 606 as dedicated sound data.

(Timing chart 9 in FIG. 95)
Next, description will be made with reference to the timing chart 9 of FIG. Note that “Song A” in FIG. 95 is the same as the contents described in the description of FIGS. Of the “states managed by the sub control board”, the “Bonus preparation state” is the state indicated by the number “05” in FIG. 22, and the “first Bonus state” is the number “ The “third bonus state” is a state indicated by the number “08” in FIG.

  In FIG. 95 (a), the music A to be played back in the “first Bonus state” and the elements constituting the music A, “rust”, “interlude”, and “A melody” are shown. . In FIG. 95 (b), the music A to be played back in the “third Bonus state” and the elements constituting the music A are “prelude”, “A melody”, “B melody”, “rust”, “Interlude” is shown. In FIG. 95 (a), the music piece A is reproduced in the order of “Cho”, “Interlude”, and “A melody”. In FIG. 95 (b), the music piece A is reproduced in the order of “prelude”, “A melody”, “B melody”, “rust”, and “interlude”. When all the elements constituting the musical piece A are reproduced, if they are still in the “Bonus state”, they may be reproduced from the head again (may be looped). In FIG. 95 (a), only the rust portion may be repeatedly reproduced. Note that the music A that is played back in the “first bonus state” and the music A that is played back in the “third bonus state” are composed of the same music. In the “first bonus state”, the “third bonus state” Is configured to play a part of the music piece A. The “prelude” portion in FIG. 95 (b) constitutes the normal playback portion that is the first timing in the present invention, and the “rust” portion in FIGS. 95 (a) and 95 (b). Constitutes a specific reproduction part which is the second timing in the present invention.

  As described above, since the “first bonus state” is composed of 30 games and the “third bonus state” is composed of 50 games, the rise period of the “bonus state” (game) The “possible period) is configured so that the“ third Bonus state ”is longer than the“ first Bonus state ”. In the present invention, the “first bonus state” constitutes a first privilege game advantageous to the player, and the “third bonus state” represents a second privilege game more advantageous to the player than the first privilege game. Configure.

(First Bonus state)
First, in FIG. 95 (a), at the timing when the state transitions from the “Bonus preparation state” to the “first Bonus state”, the rust portion of the music piece A is output. Then, when the reproduction of the chorus part is finished, the interlude part of the music piece A is output, and when the reproduction of the interlude part of the music piece A is finished, the A melody part of the music piece A is outputted. Then, when the “first bonus state” ends (the game of 30 games ends), the music A is muted.

(3rd Bonus state)
Next, in FIG. 95 (b), the prelude part of the music piece A is output at the timing when the state transitions from the “Bonus preparation state” to the “third Bonus state”. When playback of the prelude part is completed, the A melody part is output. When playback of the A melody part ends, the B melody part is output. When playback of the B melody part ends, the rust part is output. When playback of the chorus part ends, the interlude part is output. Then, when the “third bonus state” ends (the game of 50 games ends), the music A is muted.

  If the first bonus state is digested at 4.1 seconds per game, 123 seconds (4.1 seconds × 30 games) are required from the start to the end of the first bonus state. Similarly, when the third bonus state is digested at 4.1 seconds per game, 205 seconds (4.1 seconds × 50 games) are required from the start to the end of the third bonus state. Note that the “rust” of the music A is provided at a position where the music A has been played for 140 seconds from the start (“prelude”). For this reason, when the first Bonus state is digested during the game digestion time, “rust” cannot be heard, and when the third Bonus state is digested during the game digestion time, “rust” can be heard. From such a relationship, in the first Bonus state, “rust” is reproduced from the start of the first Bonus state. With this configuration, even a player who plays a game during the game digestion time as described above can listen to the “rust” of the music.

  In other words, a Bonus game with a small number of Bonus game playable games, such as the first Bonus state, is played from the middle of the music, and a Bonus game with many Bonus game playable games, such as the third Bonus state, is the top of the music Therefore, even in the “first bonus state” where there are few games that can be played, it is possible to listen to the rust portion that constitutes the most exciting part of the music, so that it is possible to prevent a decrease in the gaming interest it can.

  A big bonus can be applied as the second privilege game, and a regular bonus can be applied as the first privilege game. Also, an ART state with a short initial game number can be applied as the first privilege game, and an ART state with a long initial game number can be applied as the second privilege game.

  In FIG. 95, a pachislot machine has been described as an example, but may be applied to a pachinko machine. In addition, when applied to a pachinko machine, for example, a jackpot with a small number of round games (for example, a five-round jackpot) is applied as the first bonus game, and a jackpot with a large number of round games (for example, a jackpot with a large number of round games, for example) , 16 rounds jackpot). In this case, it is possible to play from the chorus part when the big hit is 5 rounds and to play from the prelude part when the big hit is 16 rounds. If comprised in this way, the effect similar to the effect in the said pachislot will be acquired.

(Relationship between payout time and payout sound)
Next, the relationship between the payout time and the payout sound will be described using the timing chart 10 of FIG. In FIG. 96, as an example, when the winning number “32” “push order bell A1” is won and the symbol combination constituting “push order bell A1” is stopped on the active line (the number of payouts) Will be described on the basis of the example of 9 payout).

  When paying out, the medal is paid out at different payout times as the payout time for paying out per medal depending on whether the credit is stored or when the payout unit 38 is paid out. Has been.

(Credit signal)
The credit signal described in FIG. 96 indicates the payout time when the credit is stored. This credit signal is configured to be paid out with a payout time of 100 ms per medal. In FIG. 96, the credit signal is turned ON nine times in order to pay out nine cards. Further, the interval between payouts is, for example, 20 ms. That is, the time required for payout when storing 9 payouts in credit is 100 ms × 9 (sheets) and 20 ms × 8 (interval count), which is a total of 1060 ms.

(Discharge command signal)
The payout command signal shown in FIG. 96 indicates the payout time when paying out to the tray unit 38. The payout command signal is configured to pay out with a payout time of 77 ms per medal. In FIG. 96, the payout command signal is turned ON nine times in order to pay out nine sheets. Further, the interval between payouts is, for example, 20 ms. That is, the time required for payout when 9 payouts are stored in credits is 77 ms × 9 (sheets) and 20 ms × 8 (interval number), which is a total of 853 ms.

(Payout sound)
The payout sound described in FIG. 96 is a payout sound used for both payout when storing in credit and payout when paying out to the tray unit 38. In both payout and payout, a payout sound composed of a sound output time of 1700 ms is output (FIG. 106 described later). That is, the sound output time of the payout sound is configured to be longer than the payout time when the credit is stored (the above-mentioned 1060 ms), and is longer than the payout time when the payout unit 38 is paid out (the above-mentioned 853 ms). Composed of a long time. In the example of FIG. 96, it is assumed that nine paying combinations are won and stopped on the active line. However, for example, a single paying combination is won and a single paying combination is configured on the active line. Even when the combination of symbols to be displayed is stopped, a payout sound composed of 1700 ms may be output, or a sound output time (for example, 200 ms) slightly longer than the time required for paying out a single sheet is configured. You may make it emit the payout sound which was made.

  In other words, a payout sound composed of a longer time than the time required for each payout is produced regardless of whether the payout is to be stored in credit or the payout to the tray unit 38. Thus, it is possible to give the player a feeling that more game media are being paid out than the actual payout number, and the game can be further improved.

  In this embodiment, like the chance item CN1 of the winning number “29”, the payout sound constituted by a time longer than the time required for paying out when the winning combination is small (the number of payouts is 1). Can be output to the player to notice that a payout has been made.

  If the payout sound is the same winning combination, a payout sound composed of the same payout time may be generated regardless of the gaming state. For example, in a gaming state that is disadvantageous for the player (for example, the first RT gaming state), when the common bell of the winning number “31” is won, and in a gaming state that is advantageous to the player (for example, the fourth RT gaming state) In both cases, a payout sound composed of 1700 ms may be emitted when the common bell of the winning number “31” is won.

  When a payout is made across the upper limit (50 sheets) of the number of storages (for example, when the number of storages is 45 and a winning combination of 9 sheets is won), up to the upper limit of the number of storages, the medal 1 The payout time may be configured to be paid out with a payout time of 100 ms, and the payout time of 77 ms may be paid out per medal after exceeding the upper limit value of the number of storage.

  When a payout is made across the upper limit (50 sheets) of the number of storages (for example, when the number of storages is 45 and a winning combination of 9 sheets is won), up to the upper limit of the number of storages, the medal 1 The payout time may be 100 ms, and the payout time may be 100 ms for each medal even after the upper limit of the number of storage is exceeded.

  It should be noted that, when medals are stored in the game medium storage means, the medals are paid out to the tray unit 38 when the game medium adjustment means (the adjustment button 9) is operated by the player. In this case, each medal is configured to be paid out with a payout time of 77 ms (based on the payout time paid out to the tray unit 38), and the payout sound is configured with a time equal to the time required for payout. A payout sound is output. For example, when 10 game media are stored, the time required for payout when the checkout button 9 is operated by a player is 77 ms × 10 (sheets), and the interval between payouts is 20 ms × 9 ( The total number of intervals is 950 ms. As a payout sound at this time, a payout sound that continues to be output for 950 ms is output. Note that the payout sound may be stored in advance in the sound source ROM 606 as a payout sound having a time equal to the payout time corresponding to each of 1 to 50 sheets that can be stored. By configuring as described above, when the settlement button 9 is operated to end the game, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling that the payout of the settlement number or more has been performed.

  Note that the payout sound may store data corresponding to the payout sound constituted by 1700 ms, and the data may be output once at the time of payout. For example, the payout sound is constituted by 170 ms. Data corresponding to the payout sound may be stored and the data may be output 10 times. Alternatively, a payout sound composed of 170 ms may be played back in a loop.

  The payout sound is configured as shown in FIG. 106, for example. FIG. 106 (a) shows a waveform of a bell combination payout sound won in the RT1 gaming state (for example, in the normal gaming state), and FIG. 106 (b) shows in the RT4 gaming state ( For example, a waveform of a payout sound of a bell role (including a pushing order bell) won in the ART state) is shown. The vertical axis indicates the volume, and the horizontal axis indicates the sound output time. The sound output time is composed of 1700 ms, and (a) in the RT1 gaming state (for example, in the normal gaming state) in FIG. 106, rather than in the RT4 gaming state (for example, in the ART state) in FIG. 106 (b). ), The sound output time of the sound with the reverberation effect is configured to be longer. In this way, even for a bell combination composed of the same number of payouts, it is possible to give a sense that different combinations have won a prize by outputting different payout sounds depending on the state. Note that the payout sound shown in FIG. 106 (a) may be emitted in the RT4 gaming state (for example, in the ART state), and the payout sound shown in FIG. 106 (b) may be generated in the RT1 gaming state (for example, in the ART state). Sound may be output during normal gaming.

(Timing chart 11 in FIG. 97)
Next, based on the timing chart 11 of FIG. 97, the volume control when an error occurs during the production of the production sound will be described.

  The “error sound” shown in FIG. 97 is a sound for notifying the occurrence of a predetermined error, indicating that it is output as data when ON, and not output as data when OFF. Is shown. Further, “Song A” is a sound such as a predetermined BGM for production as described above, and indicates whether or not to output. Furthermore, “Vol” indicates a volume for outputting sounds such as “error sound” and “music A”.

  As shown in FIG. 97, when a normal error is not detected, a production sound such as “Song A” is output at a predetermined volume level, for example, “50”. This volume level is determined by an initial value determined in advance by the gaming machine 1, a level set by the player, a value set in audio data such as “Song A” to be output, or the like. In the present embodiment, the volume level “100” indicates the maximum volume that the gaming machine 1 can output. Further, the volume level “50” and the volume level “0” are the volume levels according to the ratio to the volume level “100”.

  Next, when a predetermined error is detected at timing (A), the output of “Song A” being output is muted, and an “error sound” corresponding to the error is read and output. Specifically, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 mutes the output sound of “Song A” when an error is input via the sub-control board 400. More specifically, the mute is applied to the channel outputting “Song A” of each speaker (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42, lower right speaker 43).

  The sound source IC 605 reads the corresponding “error sound” from the sound source ROM 606 and outputs it to the speakers (the upper left speaker 40, the lower left speaker 41, the upper right speaker 42, and the lower right speaker 43) via the amplifier board 500. To do. At this time, the sound source IC 605 sets the volume level to “100” at the maximum in response to the error detection, and outputs it. The volume level at this time is “100” regardless of the volume level setting. Therefore, when an error is detected, an “error sound” is output at the maximum volume of the gaming machine 1.

  Next, when the detection of the error is eliminated at timing (B), the output of “error sound” is stopped and the output of “music A” is restored. At this time, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 returns the volume level from the maximum “100” to the original volume level “50” and outputs “Song A” with the cancellation of the error.

(Channel management processing of LCD control CPU)
Next, channel management processing of each speaker (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42, lower right speaker 43) by the liquid crystal control CPU 601 will be described. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 generates a channel state management map in the liquid crystal control RAM 603 in order to manage the channel audio output of each speaker (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42, lower right speaker 43). ing.

(Channel status management map for LCD control CPU speakers)
FIG. 98 is a diagram showing a channel state management map generated by the liquid crystal control CPU 601 in the liquid crystal control RAM 603. As shown in FIG. 98, the channel state management map stores audio data being output for each of the fixed channels 00CH to 05CH and the variable channels 06CH to 39CH. Further, the channel state management map stores the priority of output of the audio data, the output order of the output, and the remaining reproduction time together with the audio data being output.

  In addition, “H”, “M”, and “L” in the priority order respectively indicate a high level, a middle level, and a low level, the priority order “H” has the highest priority order, and the next becomes the priority order “M”. , “L” indicates the lowest priority. Further, the remaining reproduction time stored in the channel state management map is subtracted by the interruption process of the liquid crystal control CPU 601. When the remaining playback time reaches “0”, the output of the audio data of the channel is terminated and deleted from the channel state management map.

  When the liquid crystal control CPU 601 that generates such a channel state management map receives the output designation command, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for the channel (fixed channel) designated in the audio data designated by the output designation command and outputs the channel. Update the corresponding fixed channel area in the state management map. Note that the audio data designated by the output designation command, that is, the output of the system sound is output from a fixed channel designated in advance, regardless of the channel availability. Therefore, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 updates the channel state management map for the designated fixed channel as described above, regardless of the channel availability. The output designation command is input from the liquid crystal control CPU 601 to the sound source IC 605 or the like, and the sound source IC 605 reads out desired audio data from the sound source ROM 606 or the like according to the output designation command and outputs it from the speaker.

  Upon receiving the effect designation command, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines the effect output audio data based on the effect designation command as described above, and whether the corresponding audio data is stereo audio data or monaural audio data, Determine.

  When the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the corresponding audio data is stereo audio data, it refers to the channel state management map, and in order from the 06CH to the lower direction, two channels are consecutively designated as even channels from the even channels. Search for the channel that is.

  In the example of the channel state management map shown in FIG. 98, first, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for 06CH. Since liquid crystal control CPU 601 stores data in 06CH and is in use, next, it searches for 08CH. Since the 08CH is empty, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 next searches for 09CH. However, since the 09CH stores data and is in use, it next searches for 10CH. Since 10CH is empty, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for 11CH and confirms that 11CH is empty. Then, 10CH and 11CH are set as output target channels, and audio output processing is executed.

  On the other hand, if the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the corresponding audio data is not monaural audio data but monaural audio data, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 refers to the channel state management map and sequentially becomes an empty channel from 39CH upward. Search for available channels. Here, when the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for an output channel for monaural audio data, there is a channel in which only one of the two consecutive channels from the even channel is used and the other is an empty channel. In this case, such an empty channel is preferentially searched as an empty channel. As a result, it is possible to leave as many as possible two consecutive empty channels from the even-numbered channels, and leave the empty channels for the subsequent output of stereo audio data.

  In the example of the channel state management map shown in FIG. 98, first, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for empty channels in order from 39CH to the upper direction. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 stores data in 09CH and is in use, whereas 08CH is empty, so that 08CH is set as an output target channel, and audio output processing is executed.

Next, processing when there is no empty channel will be described.
If there is no empty channel, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 stops outputting predetermined audio data, and outputs new audio data using the channel that has output the audio data. Hereinafter, a description will be given of a method for searching audio data for stopping output. As described above, the system sound is output from the fixed channel designated in advance regardless of the channel availability, and the process when the liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives the output designation command is the process described above. It is the same. Accordingly, the following processing of the liquid crystal control CPU 601 will be described only in the case of receiving an effect designation command.

(Channel state management map explaining how to search for output stop audio data based on priority)
First, a method for searching for output stop voice data based on the priority order will be described.
FIG. 99 is a diagram showing a channel state management map for explaining the search for the output stop voice data based on the priority order.

  In FIG. 99, the data described at the top of the channel state management map indicates the contents of the audio data to be output this time. In addition, the reproduction time is stored in the audio data to be output. The same applies to FIGS. 100, 101, 102, and 105.

  When the audio data to be output is stereo audio data, the audio data to be stopped is also stereo audio data. When the audio data to be output is monaural audio data, the audio data to be stopped is monaural. Target audio data. Note that if the target data cannot be searched between the stereo audio data and the monaural audio data, different types of audio data may be the output stop target.

  When the liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives an effect designation command, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped from the 06CH to 39CH according to the priority order. It should be noted that here, the audio data whose output is to be stopped is targeted to the audio data whose priority is lower than the output target audio data.

  Hereinafter, specific description will be given based on the audio data to be output and the example of the channel state management map shown in FIG.

  First, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 reads the priority order of the audio data to be output, and stores the priority order “M” in the liquid crystal control RAM 603. Accordingly, the priority order of the audio data whose output is to be stopped is the priority order “L” and the priority order “M” which are lower than the priority order “M”.

Next, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches a channel in which the priority level “L” having the lowest priority level is stored from the storage areas 06CH to 39CH of the channel state management map.
In the example of FIG. 99, since the data of priority “L” is only 14CH, 14CH is determined as the output stop channel.
If the audio data to be output is stereo audio data, the search is performed based on whether two consecutive channels from the even channels can be set as output stop channels, as in the case of searching for empty channels. You may go.

  The liquid crystal control CPU 601 selects a channel in which the priority order “M” is stored when the target channel whose output is to be stopped cannot be searched with the priority order “L” from the storage areas 06CH to 39CH of the channel state management map. In the same manner as the search with the priority “L”, search is performed to search for a target channel to stop output.

  Since the priority order of the audio data to be output is the priority order “M”, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 can search for the output stop target channel with the priority order “M” from the storage areas 06CH to 39CH of the channel state management map. If not, it is determined that there is no target channel to stop output.

Next, processing when a plurality of data having the same priority is searched will be described.
When a plurality of data having the same priority is searched, the following two methods will be described. That is, the first is the case where the remaining playback time is short and the output is to be stopped, and the second is the case where the audio data output start time is the oldest and the output is to be stopped. is there.

(Search for output stop audio data based on remaining playback time)
First, a case where output is to be stopped from audio data with a short remaining reproduction time will be described.
FIG. 100 is a diagram showing a channel state management map for explaining the search for output stop audio data based on the remaining reproduction time.

  When the liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives an effect designation command, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped from the 06CH to 39CH according to the priority order. Here, when a plurality of data having the same priority is searched, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 sets output to be stopped from audio data having a short remaining reproduction time.

  Hereinafter, specific description will be given based on the audio data to be output and the example of the channel state management map shown in FIG.

  First, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped based on the priority order. The channel search method for the output stop audio data based on the priority order is the same as the search method described above, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the example of FIG. 100, when the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped based on the priority order, 14CH and 15CH are used as output stop channel candidates as data of priority “L”. ,Extract.

  Further, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 compares the remaining reproduction times of the respective audio data, and extracts the channel having the shortest remaining reproduction time. Therefore, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 extracts 15 CH as the channel with the shortest remaining reproduction time, and determines 15 CH as the target channel for stopping output.

(Search output stop audio data based on playback start time)
Next, a case will be described in which output is started from the oldest reproduction start time in which audio data is output.
FIG. 101 is a diagram showing a channel state management map for explaining the search for output stop audio data based on the reproduction start time.

  When the liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives an effect designation command, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped from the 06CH to 39CH according to the output order. Here, when a plurality of pieces of data having the same priority are searched, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 sets the output to be stopped from the audio data with the oldest reproduction start time.

  Hereinafter, specific description will be given based on the audio data to be output and the example of the channel state management map shown in FIG.

  First, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped based on the priority order. The channel search method for the output stop audio data based on the priority order is the same as the search method described above, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the example of FIG. 101, when the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped based on the priority order, 14CH and 15CH are used as candidates for the output stop channel as data of the priority order “L”. ,Extract.

  Further, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 compares the output start times in order to compare the reproduction start times of the respective audio data, and extracts the channel having the oldest output order in which the output of the audio data is started. Therefore, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 extracts 14CH as the channel with the oldest reproduction start time, and determines 14CH as the channel whose output is to be stopped.

(Overwrite output playback of the same audio data)
Next, a case where the same audio data as the audio data being output is reproduced and output from the same channel will be described.
FIG. 102 is a diagram showing a channel state management map for explaining overwriting output of the same sound.

  The liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives the effect designation command, and determines whether or not the same audio data as the audio data output by the effect designation command is currently being output. If the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the same audio data as the audio data to be output is currently being output, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 stops outputting the output audio data and newly uses the same channel. Output the specified audio data.

  On the other hand, if the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the same audio data as the audio data to be output is not currently being output, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 uses the empty channel search method or the output stop channel designation method described above for output. The channel is searched, and newly designated audio data is output from the searched channel.

  The liquid crystal control CPU 601 outputs the audio data from the channel unique to the audio data when the designated audio data is audio data for fixed channel output and the output destination channel is fixed.

  Hereinafter, specific description will be given based on the audio data to be output and the example of the channel state management map shown in FIG.

  First, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines whether the audio data to be output is audio data for a fixed channel or audio data for a variable channel. If the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the audio data to be output is audio data for a fixed channel, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 outputs specified audio data from the corresponding fixed CH (00CH to 05CH). Note that the liquid crystal control CPU 601 stops the output of the audio data being used even if the corresponding fixed CH (00CH to 05CH) is in use, and newly outputs the audio data from the channel.

  On the other hand, if the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the audio data to be output is audio data for a variable channel, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for the variable CH (06CH to 39CH) and outputs the same audio data as the specified audio data. It is determined whether or not it has been done. When the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the same audio data as the designated audio data is being output from any channel, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 stops outputting the audio data of the channel and newly designates the audio data ( (Same audio data) is output from the channel.

  In the example of FIG. 102, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches whether the audio data “ESE” that is designated audio data is output from any of 06CH to 39CH. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 recognizes that it is output from 14CH by this search, and stops output from 14CH. Next, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 outputs the designated audio data “ESE” from 14CH.

  On the other hand, if the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines that the audio data “ESE” is not output from any of the 06CH to 39CH, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 outputs the audio data by the already-described empty channel search method, output stop channel designation method, or the like. The designated audio data “ESE” is output from the searched channel.

(Timing chart 12 in FIG. 103)
Next, a case where the same audio data as that being output is reproduced and output from the same channel based on the timing chart will be described.
FIG. 103 shows a timing chart relating to overwriting output of the same sound.

  The “effect button SW” shown in FIG. 103 indicates whether or not the effect button 21 has been pressed. Specifically, “ON of the effect button SW” indicates a state in which the effect button sensor 710 s detects pressing of the effect button 21, and “OFF of the“ effect button SW ”indicates that the effect button sensor 710 s is the effect button 21. The state where the pressing of is not detected is shown.

  “CH writing” represents a preparation state in which audio data can be output from a speaker (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42, lower right speaker 43). Specifically, “CH write” ON indicates that voice data output is being prepared, and “CH write” OFF indicates that voice data output preparation has been completed or no output processing has been performed. Indicates the state.

  “Sound output” represents the output state of sound from the speakers (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42, lower right speaker 43). Indicates a state in which sound is output, and OFF of “sound output” indicates a state in which no sound is output. This “sound output” is used as the data output status of audio data from the effect control board 600 through the amplifier board 500 to the speakers (upper left speaker 40, lower left speaker 41, upper right speaker 42, lower right speaker 43). Also good.

  As shown in FIG. 103, at the timing (A), when the effect button sensor 710s detects pressing of the effect button 21, the “effect button SW” is turned ON.

  When the “effect button SW” is turned ON, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 turns “CH writing” ON at timing (B), and generates audio data corresponding to pressing of the effect button 21, for example, audio data “ESE”, as the sound source ROM 606. And preparation for outputting to the speakers (the upper left speaker 40, the lower left speaker 41, the upper right speaker 42, and the lower right speaker 43) via the amplifier board 500 is started. Note that the liquid crystal control CPU 601 outputs the audio data “ESE” from 14CH.

  Next, when the output preparation of the audio data “ESE” is completed, at timing (C), the sound based on the audio data “ESE” is output from the speakers (the upper left speaker 40, the lower left speaker 41, the upper right speaker 42, the lower right speaker). Output from the speaker 43). As a result, the “sound output” is turned from OFF to ON.

  Next, when the effect button sensor 710s detects that the effect button 21 is pressed while the sound based on the audio data “ESE” is being output at the timing (D), the “effect button SW” is turned ON.

  When the “effect button SW” is turned on, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 sets “CH writing” to ON at timing (E), and outputs the audio data corresponding to the depression of the effect button 21 and the same audio data “ESE” as described above. Preparations for reading from the sound source ROM 606 and outputting to the speakers (the upper left speaker 40, the lower left speaker 41, the upper right speaker 42, and the lower right speaker 43) via the amplifier board 500 are started. The liquid crystal control CPU 601 stops the output from the 14CH that outputs the same audio data “ESE” as the audio data “ESE” to be output this time. Thereby, the “sound output” is changed from ON to OFF. Also, new audio data “ESE” corresponding to pressing of the effect button 21 at the timing (D) is output from 14CH.

Next, when the output preparation of the new audio data “ESE” is completed, at timing (F), the sound based on the audio data “ESE” is output from the speakers (the upper left speaker 40, the lower left speaker 41, the upper right speaker 42, It is output from the lower right speaker 43). Thereby, the state of “sound output” is changed from OFF to ON again.
As described above, the same sound is continuously output using the same channel.

(Timing chart 13 in FIG. 104)
Next, the notification mode in the present invention will be described using the timing chart of FIG. Note that “liquid crystal display” in FIG. 104 indicates a liquid crystal display in the liquid crystal display device 46, and indicates a state in which the liquid crystal display device 46 is displaying if the liquid crystal display is ON. If the liquid crystal display is OFF, the liquid crystal display device 46 is not displaying. The “liquid crystal return state” refers to a state in which a return process is performed by the liquid crystal control CPU 601 when power is supplied and notification (for example, notification of an operation order) is possible in the liquid crystal display device 46. Show. If the liquid crystal return state is ON, it indicates that the notification in the liquid crystal display device 46 is not possible, and if the liquid crystal return state is OFF, it indicates that the notification in the liquid crystal display device 46 is possible. Yes. That is, when the power is supplied from the power supply substrate 200, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 causes the liquid crystal display device 46 to transition from the notification disabled state to the notification enabled state after undergoing a return process. In addition, “liquid crystal notification” indicates that notification is being performed based on the display contents on the liquid crystal display device 46. For example, in the ART state, when the winning order bell A1 of the winning number “32” is won, a notification image that prompts the user to operate the middle stop button 12 first is displayed. That is, if the liquid crystal notification is ON, for example, it indicates that the operation order of the push order bell role is being performed, and if the liquid crystal notification is OFF, for example, the notification of the operation order of the push order bell role is performed. Indicates that it has not been done. The “lamp return state” refers to a state in which when the power is supplied, the sub CPU 401 performs the return process, and the stop button operation display unit 35 can be notified (for example, notification of the operation order). Is shown. If the lamp return state is ON, it indicates that the notification on the stop button operation display unit 35 is disabled. If the lamp return state is OFF, the notification on the stop button operation display unit 35 is possible. It is shown that. That is, when power is supplied from the power supply board 200, the sub CPU 401 causes the stop button operation display unit 35 to transition from the notification disabled state to the notification enabled state after undergoing a return process. “Lamp notification” indicates that notification is being performed in the light emission mode of the stop button operation display unit 35. For example, in the ART state, when the push order bell A1 of the winning number “32” is won, the middle stop button operation display unit 35C is caused to emit light first so that the middle stop button 12 is operated first. That is, if the lamp notification is ON, for example, it indicates that the operation order of the push order bell combination is being performed, and if the lamp notification is OFF, for example, the notification of the operation order of the push order bell combination is performed. Indicates that it has not been done. In FIG. 104, it is assumed that the gaming state managed by the main control board 300 is the RT4 gaming state and the state managed by the sub-control board 400 is the ART state.

  First, at the timing (A), the liquid crystal is notified on condition that the liquid crystal display is ON and the liquid crystal return state is OFF. In addition, notification by the lamp is performed on the condition that the lamp return state is OFF. Therefore, for example, in the ART state, when the pressing order bell A1 of the winning number “32” is won, a notification that the middle stop button 12 is operated first is sent to the liquid crystal display device 46 and the stop button operation display unit 35. Will be performed.

  Next, at timing (B), the power supply becomes a predetermined value or less due to a power failure or the like, and all of the liquid crystal display, liquid crystal notification, and lamp notification are OFF. In the example of FIG. 104, it is assumed that in the ART state, the pressing order bell A1 with the winning number “32” is won, and the timing (B) is reached in a state where no stop button is pressed. Suppose.

  Next, at timing (C), when the power is supplied again, the liquid crystal display is turned on, the liquid crystal return state is turned on, and the liquid crystal return process is started. Further, the lamp return state is turned ON, and the lamp return process is started.

  Next, at the timing (D), the lamp return state is turned off and the lamp notification is turned on. At the timing (D), the liquid crystal return state continues to be ON, and the liquid crystal display device 46 displays, for example, “returning”.

  Next, at the timing (E), the liquid crystal return state is turned off and the liquid crystal notification is turned on. That is, the period required from when the power is supplied to when the notification is possible on the liquid crystal display device 46 is from the timing (C) to the timing (E), and after the power is supplied, the stop button operation display unit 35. The period required until the notification becomes possible is between timing (C) and timing (D). Therefore, it is earlier in the stop button operation display unit 35 than in the liquid crystal display device 46 that the notification can be made after the power is supplied. In addition, as a factor from which the time until the notification of the liquid crystal display device 46 and the stop button operation display unit 35 becomes possible is different (a) Each return processing time itself is different. Although it is the same time, the time until the player can confirm the notification status is different.

  Then, at timing (C), the winning combination information storage means obtains information on the winning order A1 of the winning number “32”, and the stop button operation display unit 35 is used at timing (D). Then, the notification of the operation order of the push order bell A1 of the winning number “32” is started.

  Therefore, for example, when the power is turned off under the situation where the winning order number A32 of the winning number “32” is won, when the power is supplied again, the liquid crystal display device 46 is not waited for the return. Since the stop button operation display unit 35 that can be notified first is used to start the notification of the operation order of the push order bell A1 of the winning number “32”, the player stops the stop button operation display unit 35. If the stop button is operated in accordance with the operation order notified by, the correct bell symbol combination related to the pressing order bell A1 of the winning number “32” can be stopped and displayed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in gaming interest without causing trouble to a player who wants to advance the game quickly.

  At timing (B), the power monitoring means for determining whether or not the power supply has become a predetermined value or less may be assigned to each of the main control board 300 and the sub control board 400, or the power board 200 may In this case, when the power supply becomes a predetermined value or less, a power-off signal may be transmitted to the main control board 300 and the sub control board.

  In addition, said structure can also be comprised as follows. In the above configuration, the sub control board 400 controls the stop button operation display unit 35, and the effect control board 600 controls the liquid crystal display device 46. However, the main control board 300 includes The stop button operation display unit 35 may be connected to control the stop button operation display unit 35 on the main control board 300. Even in such a case, when the power is supplied, the stop button operation display unit 35 controlled by the main control board 300 notifies the time until the liquid crystal display device 46 controlled by the effect control board 600 can be notified. By configuring a short time until it becomes possible and using the stop button operation display unit 35 controlled by the main control board 300 that can be informed earlier, the operation order of the push order bell is informed, Can also be made to progress. In the case of such a configuration, it is assumed that the ART state is managed by the main control board 300, and the operation order related to the push order bell is managed by the main control board 300.

Next, a description will be given of processing in the case of outputting audio data by stopping the output of predetermined audio data and outputting new audio data regardless of the priority order of the audio data to be output.
If there is an empty channel, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 uses the empty channel to output new audio data. If there is no empty channel, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 stops according to the priority order of the audio data being output. Audio data is determined, and new audio data is output using the channel from which the audio data was output.

  When the liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives an effect designation command, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel of audio data whose output is to be stopped from the 06CH to 39CH according to the priority order.

In addition, when the audio data having the same priority is searched, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 determines the audio data whose output is to be stopped according to the remaining reproduction time of the audio data, the output order, etc., as in the above search method. Search for a channel.
In the following, a process for searching for a channel of audio data to stop outputting according to the remaining reproduction time of audio data when audio data having the same priority is searched will be described.

(Search method for output stop audio data based only on priority of audio data being output)
FIG. 105 is a diagram showing a channel state management map for explaining a search method for output stopped audio data based only on the priority of audio data being output regardless of the priority of audio data to be output.

  First, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for a channel in which audio data having a low priority is stored from the storage areas 06CH to 39CH of the channel state management map. Specifically, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches for the channel storing the priority “L” having the lowest priority from the storage areas 06CH to 39CH of the channel state management map. In the example of FIG. 105, since the data of the priority “L” is not stored, the process proceeds to the search for the next priority.

  Next, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 searches the channel in which the priority “M” having the next lowest priority is stored from the storage areas 06CH to 39CH of the channel state management map. In the example of FIG. 105, the priority order “M” data is from 06CH to 14CH, but since the output target audio data is monaural audio data, 10CH, 11CH, and 14CH, which are monaural audio data, are output. Extract as a stop channel candidate.

  Further, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 compares the remaining reproduction times of the respective audio data, and extracts the channel having the shortest remaining reproduction time. Therefore, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 extracts 14CH as the channel with the shortest remaining reproduction time, and determines 14CH as the channel whose output is to be stopped.

  Through the above processing, the output stop target channel is determined, the output of audio data output from the determined channel is stopped, and new audio data designated from the channel can be output.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the output control for the lamp and the like performed in the same manner as the audio output control will be described. The output control of lamps includes control of various lamps such as lighting, extinguishing and blinking, and various LED lighting, extinguishing and blinking, as well as control of various driving devices such as a motor of a production device. Shall be. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, it is simply referred to as lamp output control.

  In the present embodiment, a specific detection result is obtained for a system sound that is output as a sound when a specific detection result is obtained by detecting an error or detecting an operation related to a game such as a lever operation. The lamps that are turned on, blinking, or turned off when called are called system lamps. In the output designation command for each control for a specific detection result, the voice output control command is called a voice output designation command, and the lamp output control command is called a system lamp command.

First, the structure of the gaming machine in this embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, differences from the gaming machine 1 in the first embodiment will be mainly described, the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the same configurations and controls will be described. Is omitted.

(Sub-control board 400a)
The sub control board 400a is connected to the effect control board 600a and is connected to the effect button relay board 900. Therefore, the sub control board 400a is not directly connected to the panel LED relay board 700a, and transmits a command or the like to the panel LED relay board 700a via the effect control board 600a. The configuration of the sub control board 400a is the same as that of the sub control board 400 in the first embodiment.

Further, when the sub CPU 401 receives a command indicating a specific detection result from the main control board 300, the sub CPU 401 transmits an audio output designation command and a system lamp command corresponding to the specific detection result to the effect control board 600a. For example, when receiving a “lever reception command” from the main control board 300, the sub CPU 401 transmits an audio output designation command for outputting a sound at the time of lever reception to the liquid crystal control CPU 601 of the effect control board 600a. Then, a system lamp command for lighting the lamp at the time of lever reception is transmitted to the lamp CPU 608 of the effect control board 600a.
In the present embodiment, the transmission is performed as described above. However, the sub CPU 401 may directly transmit the audio output designation command to the sound source IC 605 of the effect control board 600a, or output the audio. Both the designation command and the system lamp command may be transmitted to the liquid crystal control CPU 601 of the effect control board 600a.

  In addition, when the sub-control board 400a determines a predetermined effect, the sub-control board 400a transmits an effect designation command (including a lamp effect, a sound effect, etc.) based on the effect contents to the effect control board 600a. For example, when the sub control board 400a determines to execute the step-up effect, the sub-control board 400a transmits an effect designation command for designating the step-up effect to the liquid crystal control CPU 601 of the effect control board 600a.

  The backlight relay board 450 is connected to the effect control board 600a, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. Then, the backlight relay board 450 receives a lamp lighting signal specified by the system lamp command from the effect control board 600a (a signal designating lighting, blinking, and extinguishing of the left backlight 461, the middle backlight 462, and the right backlight 463). When received, the data is transmitted to the designated left backlight substrate 451, middle backlight substrate 452, and right backlight substrate 453.

  The left backlight board 451, the middle backlight board 452, and the right backlight board 453 turn on and blink the left backlight 461, the middle backlight 462, and the right backlight 463 according to the lamp lighting signal specified by the received system lamp command. Turn off the light.

(LCD control CPU 601)
The liquid crystal control CPU 601 transmits a desired command to the lamp CPU 608 in addition to the same function as the liquid crystal control CPU 601 in the first embodiment.

  For example, when the liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives an effect designation command from the sub CPU 401, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 transmits a command for performing an effect corresponding to the effect designation command to the VDP 607 and a command for outputting the effect sound. Is transmitted to the sound source IC 605, and an effect lamp command for the lamp effect is transmitted to the lamp CPU 608.

  Specifically, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 executes a character effect when the sub CPU 401 determines a character effect (effect in which a specific character appears) and receives an effect designation command for designating the character effect. Is sent to the VDP 607. Based on this command, the VDP 607 creates a display list or the like corresponding to the character effect, and performs processing such as causing the liquid crystal display device 46 to output an effect image.

Further, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 transmits a command for outputting a sound corresponding to the character effect to the sound source IC 605. The sound source IC 605 outputs a sound corresponding to the character effect based on this command.
The liquid crystal control CPU 601 transmits an effect lamp command for controlling the lamp corresponding to the character effect to the lamp CPU 608.

  On the other hand, when the liquid crystal control CPU 601 receives an audio output designation command from the sub CPU 401, the liquid crystal control CPU 601 transmits the audio output designation command to the sound source IC 605.
