Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

  The current mainstream pachinko machine performs lottery using a random number acquired when entering the starting gate, and after the identification information is changed for a predetermined time, the identification information is stopped and displayed. Is a predetermined mode, a special game is executed in which a variable winning opening that is normally closed is opened. Here, a recent pachinko gaming machine includes a main control unit (main control board) that controls the progress of the game as described above, and a sub control unit (deputy control) that controls the output of various information (for example, effects) that enhance the fun of the game. Control board or sub-control board).

Here, in recent pachinko gaming machines, there is a tendency to enhance the fun of the game by diversifying and complicating the effects executed on the sub-control unit side. Such a trend is preferred by players who are familiar with the pachinko gaming machine's performance specifications, while it is preferred by players who do not understand the pachinko gaming machine's performance specifications (especially pachinko games). For beginners who have few opportunities to play on the machine, there is a problem that only the complexity of the game is conspicuous, leading to abandoning the game itself with the pachinko gaming machine. In order to solve such problems, techniques for displaying “guidance” related to the production specifications of pachinko gaming machines have been proposed (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. First, “entering a ball” includes not only a winning in which a winning ball is paid out but also a passage to a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. (For example, there is a shape such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol), light emission of a light emitting means (for example, a lamp) (including not only the presence or absence of light emission but also a color difference), and the like. The “identification information display unit” includes not only one display unit but also a combination of a plurality of display units (for example, a display and a side lamp). “Production” is synonymous with production in the industry at the time of filing, and is typically an image or moving image that enhances the fun of the game (for example, a variable display of a design for design called a decorative design, This refers to characters and images called so-called notices. The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “first identification information related information related to the variation mode of the first identification information and the stop identification information” is information about the variation mode of the first identification information and the stop identification information itself (for example, an ID for specifying the variation mode, ID for specifying stop identification information), but also the variation mode of the first identification information, even the variation mode of the first identification information and the information derived from the stop identification information (for example, variation time, success / failure result, attribute) And information for deriving stop information (for example, random numbers themselves), information based on the variation mode of the first identification information and stop identification information (for example, the classification to which the variation mode is divided into a plurality of categories ID). As a specific configuration of “informing or suggesting the probability”, the probability value may be directly displayed, or a numerical value rounded to an appropriate numerical value based on the calculated value is displayed {for example, the second decimal place Displays numbers rounded down, or displays numbers rounded or rounded up or down to the nearest decimal place, or a specified integer value (for example, 1% increments, 5% increments, 10% increments) )) May be configured to display the rounded numerical value. Further, the probability value may be set in advance in the table, or may be configured to be calculated as necessary. “Further display a numerical value corresponding to the probability” means that an image different from the content of the effect (for example, the change contents of the decorative pattern, the display content of the effect moving image) is further displayed on the content of the effect. Yes, a numerical image may be displayed directly or indirectly by an image (for example, meter display) indicating a numerical value. “Derived based on the effect executed after the special game is ended and the frequency selected when the effect is in the high-probability lottery state” means that the special game is completed at the first rotation (first variation). Is also a concept to be applied, and in that case, it is derived based on the contents of the effect executed at the first rotation.

A stop symbol related to the main game symbol is determined based on the random number), a variation mode is determined based on the determined stop symbol, and these are temporarily stored in the main game symbol information storage unit 1191b.

  Here, FIG. 9 (main game table 2) is an example of the main game content determination lottery table 1141a (particularly, the symbol determination table). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when the winning / losing lottery result is non-winning = “losing”, the stop symbol of the main game symbol is uniquely determined as “X”, while the winning / failing lottery result When “winning” = “big hit”, one symbol is determined as a stop symbol of the main game symbol by lottery from among a plurality of stop symbol candidates. In this example, one symbol is determined randomly (with the same selection probability) from eight types of stop symbol candidates “A” to “H”. Further, in this example, in the case of the stop symbol “A, B”, the probability variation big hit (and there is a short time), and in the case of the stop symbol “C, D”, the probability change big hit (and there is no short time), the stop symbol In the case of “E, F”, the non-probability fluctuation big hit (and there is a short time), and in the case of the stop symbol “G, H”, it is configured to be a non-probability fluctuation big hit (and no short time). As described above, the game state after the special game related to the jackpot is determined according to which of the stop symbols has occurred.

  FIG. 9 (main game table 3) is an example of a main game content determination lottery table 1141a (particularly, a variation mode determination table). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when the winning / losing lottery result is non-winning = “losing”, as a variation mode of the main game symbol, a plurality of variation mode candidates with different variation times (in this example, “H1 to H3”) is determined so that one variation mode is determined by lottery. When the winning / failing lottery result is “winning” = “big hit”, the variation mode of the main game symbol is One variation mode is determined by lottery from among a plurality of different variation mode candidates (in this example, “A1 to A3”). As described in the table, the selection probability of each of the variation modes “H1 to H3” is “winning lottery probability (losing probability)” × “selection ratio of the variation mode”, and the variation modes “A1 to A3” The selection probabilities for “” are “Win / Draw lottery probability (winning probability)” × “Change ratio selection ratio”. In this example, for convenience of explanation, the selection ratio of the variation mode is not changed depending on the game state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main game state (particularly, the time reduction flag state) or the main game You may comprise so that the selection ratio of a fluctuation | variation aspect may differ according to the number of reservations of a symbol.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1414, the information transmitting means 1200 includes symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) relating to the main game symbol determined in step 1412, step 1413, etc. ) To the effect display control means 2150 side. Next, in step 1416, the main game symbol variation time management means 1151a sets a predetermined time (a variation time related to the variation mode determined in step 1413) in the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1. In step 1418, the main game symbol control means 1151 determines the main game symbol according to the variation mode stored in the main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b on the main game symbol display unit 2131 of the main game symbol display device 2130. Start the variable display. Next, in step 1420, the main game symbol control means 1151 turns on the changing flag in the temporary flag storage means 1191a. In step 1422, the main game symbol variation time management means 1151a determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1200 transmits a command to the effect display control unit 2150 side indicating that the predetermined time (main game symbol stop display timing) has been reached. Next, at step 1426, the main game symbol control means 1151 stops the main game symbol display on the main game symbol display unit 2131 of the main game symbol display device 2130, and stores it in the main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b. The stored stop symbol is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1428, the main game symbol control means 1151 turns off the changing flag in the temporary flag storage means 1191a. In step 1430, the main game symbol variation time management means 1151a resets the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1. Next, at step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process at step 1500).

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

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

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the flag temporary storage unit 1191a to determine whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination means 1171 indicates that the main game symbol displayed on the main game symbol display unit 2131 of the main game symbol display device 2130 is a predetermined mode (in this example, “A to H It is determined whether or not it has stopped at “design”. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 refers to the special game content reference table 1172a based on the predetermined mode, thereby determining the content of the special game {for example, the maximum number of rounds, The opening / closing mode (maximum opening time) of the winning opening 2120 and the upper limit of the number of balls entered} are set in the special game related information temporary storage means 1191c. Next, in step 1510 and step 1512, the specific game control means 1180 temporarily turns off a specific game flag (for example, a probability fluctuation flag on the main game side or a time reduction flag on the auxiliary game side), and a time-count counter 1181a. Is reset (counter value for time reduction count = 0). Then, in step 1514 and step 1516, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a and turns off the winning flag, and the next process (special game control process in step 1600). Migrate to In the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

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

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

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

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the big prize opening electric accessory 2122 of the big prize opening 2120 and closes the big prize opening 2120. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. Next, in step 1636, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1191c, and the round is the final round (for example, if the maximum number of rounds is 16 rounds, It is determined whether the final round In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission means 1200 transmits a special game end signal to the effect display control means 2150 side. In step 1650, the game control means 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (a prize ball payout process in step 1700). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 1700).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b, and determines whether or not the current special game is a “probability variation jackpot”. In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control unit 1180 turns on the probability variation flag in the flag temporary storage unit 1191a (in other words, the main game side is set in the probability variation game state). Next, in step 1656, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b, and determines whether or not the current special game is “time saving big hit” (with time saving). In the case of Yes in step 1656, in step 1658, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the time reduction flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a and the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192a (in other words, the main game side And the auxiliary game side is set to a time-saving game state). Next, in step 1660, the specific game control means 1180 sets a design theoretical infinite number of times (for example, 65536 times) in which the time-reduced gaming state can continue as the counter value of the time reduction counter 1181a, and proceeds to step 1670. To do. In the case of No in step 1656, the process proceeds to step 1670.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1652, in step 1662, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b, and whether or not the current special game is “time saving big hit” (with time saving) Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the time reduction flag in the flag temporary storage means 1191a and the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192a (in other words, the main game side And the auxiliary game side is set to a time-saving game state). Next, in step 1666, the specific game control means 1180 uses a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) as the counter value of the time-shortage counter 1181a. The number of times may be set to the predetermined number.) Is set, and the process proceeds to step 1670. In the case of No in step 1662, the process proceeds to step 1670. In step 1670, the information transmission unit 1200 transmits information (game state information) related to the determined gaming state (particularly, the probability variation gaming state and the time-reduced gaming state) to the effect display control unit 2150 side. (The prize ball payout process in step 1700).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-main board (production display control means 2150) side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 14 is a main flowchart (step 2000) showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect display control means 2150. First, in step 2100, the effect display control means 2150 executes a hold information management process described later. Next, in step 2200, effect display control means 2150 executes effect mode determination processing described later. Next, in step 2400, the effect display control means 2150 executes a secondary game display content determination process to be described later. Next, in step 2600, the effect display control means 2150 executes a secondary game display control process to be described later. In step 2800, the effect display control unit 2150 executes a special game display control process described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 2100. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the hold information management process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the drawing hold information display control unit 2152b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not hold information is received from the main control device 1000 side. If Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the drawing hold information display control means 2152b adds “1” to the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152e-2 and effects display control. The means 2150 updates the hold display content displayed on the drawing hold display part 2142 of the effect display device 2140 based on the drawing hold counter value of the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152e-2, and performs the next processing. The process proceeds to (production mode determination processing in step 2200). On the other hand, if No in step 2102, in step 2106, the drawing hold information display control unit 2152b refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2151a and determines whether or not new symbol information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2106, in step 2108, the drawing hold information display control means 2152b subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152e-2 and effects display control. The means 2150 updates the hold display content displayed on the drawing hold display part 2142 of the effect display device 2140 based on the drawing hold counter value of the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2152e-2. In step 2110, the drawing hold information display control unit 2152b turns on the sub game content determination permission flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152e, and performs the next process (the effect mode determination process in step 2200). ). Even in the case of No in step 2106, the process proceeds to the next process (effect mode determination process in step 2200).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the effect mode determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2200 of FIG. First, in step 2202, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2151a and determines whether or not the game state information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 determines whether or not the main game gaming state has shifted to the probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2204, in step 2206, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 determines whether or not the main game (and auxiliary game) game state has shifted to the time reduction game state. In the case of Yes in step 2206, in step 2208, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 turns off the probability change suggestion effect mode flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Here, the probability variation suggestion effect mode flag is an effect that informs (or suggests) the possibility of the probability variation gaming state in a situation where it is difficult for the player to determine whether or not the player is in the probability variation gaming state. This flag is turned on when executing. Next, in step 2210, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 sets (displays) the background image “notifying that the game is in the probability variation gaming state” on the effect display device 2140, and the process proceeds to step 2230. .

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2206, in other words, if the main gaming state shifts to the probability variation gaming state and the main gaming (and auxiliary gaming) gaming state does not shift to the time reduction gaming state, The effect state determination means 2152a-2 turns on the probability change suggestion effect mode flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Next, in step 2214, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 “indicates that it is in the probability variation gaming state (notifies the possibility of being in the probability variation game state)” on the effect display device 2140. Set (display) an image. Next, in step 2216, the production state determination means 2152a-2 sets a predetermined value (for example, 50) in the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2-1. Here, since the numerical value related to the percentage is set in the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2-1, the definition area of the counter may be 0 (zero) excess <counter value <100. Next, in step 2218, effect state determination means 2152a-2 sets (displays) the counter value of probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2-1 on the background image on effect display device 2140. Then, the process proceeds to step 2230.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2204, in step 2220, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 determines whether or not the main game (and auxiliary game) game state has shifted to the time-reduced game state. In the case of Yes in step 2220, in step 2222, effect state determination means 2152a-2 turns off the probability change suggestion effect mode flag in effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Next, in step 2224, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 sets (displays) a background image “notifying that the game state is non-probability variation” on the effect display device 2140, and proceeds to step 2230. To do. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2220, in other words, when the main gaming state does not transition to the probability variation gaming state and the main gaming (and auxiliary gaming) gaming state does not transition to the time-reducing gaming state, Control goes to step 2212. If No in step 2202, the process proceeds to step 2230.

  Next, in step 2230, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 determines whether or not the probability change suggestion effect mode flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e is on. In the case of Yes in step 2230, in step 2232, the production state determination means 2152a-2 determines the end condition of the probability change suggestion effect mode {for example, the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2- at the end of a predetermined number of symbol variations. It is determined whether the counter value of 1 satisfies a specific value (for example, 20) or less or a specific value (for example, 80 or more, etc.)}. In the case of Yes in step 2232, in step 2234, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 turns off the probability change suggestion effect mode flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Next, in step 2236, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 determines whether or not the current game state on the main game side is a probability variation game state. In the case of Yes in step 2236, in step 2238, the effect state determining means 2152a-2 sets (displays) a background image “notifying that the game is in the probability variation gaming state” on the effect display device 2140, and step 2242. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2236, in step 2240, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 sets (displays) a background image “notifies that it is in a non-probability variation gaming state” on the effect display device 2140. Then, the process proceeds to step 2242. In step 2242, the effect state determination means 2152a-2 erases the counter value of the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2-1 displayed on the effect display device 2140 from the background image, The process proceeds to the next process (sub game display content determination process in step 2400). In addition, in the case of No in step 2230 or step 2232, the process proceeds to the next process (sub game display content determination process in step 2400).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the sub game display content determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and determines whether or not the sub game content determination permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the drawing display content determination unit 2152a-1 turns off the sub game content determination permission flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152e. Next, in step 2406, the figure display content determination means 2152a-1 receives the symbol information from the main control device 1000 side stored temporarily in the main side information temporary storage means 2151a (particularly, the stop symbol of the main game symbol). On the basis of the drawing stop symbol determination lottery table 2152a-1-2, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined, and the determined content is temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and step Move to 2408. If No in step 2402, the process proceeds to the next process (sub game display control process in step 2600).

  Next, in step 2408, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 determines whether or not the probability change suggestion effect mode flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e is off. In the case of Yes in step 2408, in step 2410, the drawing display content determination unit 2152a-1 displays the symbol information (particularly, the main game symbol) from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a. The variation mode on the sub game side (sub side) is determined with reference to the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 on the basis of the variation mode), and in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. set.

  Here, FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-1) is an example of the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 (particularly, the sub game variation mode determination table). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, based on the fluctuation modes “H1 to H3” and “A1 to A3” on the main game side, one change from among one or more change mode candidates on the secondary game side. It is comprised so that an aspect may be determined by lottery. For example, when the variation mode on the main game side is “H2”, any of “N reach 1 (losing)” or “N reach 2 (losing)” that is a variation mode candidate on the secondary game side is selected probability It is determined at a ratio of “384/512” and “128/512”. Therefore, for example, in the situation of non-stochastic variation game, when the main game side lottery result is “losing”, the probability that the variation mode “N reach 1 (losing)” on the secondary game side is selected Is calculated as (selection probability of main game variation mode “H2”) × (selection probability of sub-game variation mode “N reach 1 (losing)”) = (255/256 × 64/512) × (384/512) Will be.

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, next, in step 2412, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 changes the drawing change based on the change mode on the sub game side set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. With reference to the content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbols, the display timing of the notice effect, and the notice effect type to be displayed are determined and set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. To do.

  Here, FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-2) is an example of a drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 (particularly, an effect pattern determination table). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the display timing of the notice effect, and the notice effect type to be displayed are uniquely determined based on the variation mode on the sub game side. It is configured. For example, when the variation mode on the secondary game side is “N reach 1 (losing)”, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol is the left column = “7 seconds”, the right column as the elapsed time from the start of symbol variation. = “8 seconds”, middle row = “19 seconds”, the decorative symbols of each row are configured to be stopped and displayed. In addition, the notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 1” is configured to start displaying at the timing of “5 seconds” as the elapsed time from the start of symbol variation. That is, at the time when the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined to be one, the contents of the effect executed when the symbol variation is determined uniquely.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 2414, the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 sets the information set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e (particularly, the display timing of the notice effect). ), It is determined whether or not a notice effect is scheduled to be displayed when the symbol changes. In the case of Yes in Step 2414, in Step 2416, the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 temporarily displays the current gaming state (whether or not it is at the probability variation game in this example) and the effect display related information temporarily. Based on the information set in the storage means 2152e (particularly, the notice effect type to be displayed), the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 is referred to correspond to the set notice effect type. The big hit reliability P0 is determined, set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and the process proceeds to Step 2450.

  Here, FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-3) is an example of the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 (particularly, the jackpot reliability determination table). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot reliability P0 is uniquely determined (calculated) based on the gaming state and the notice effect type. For example, the jackpot reliability P0 when “notice effect type 2” is displayed is (probability of selecting the notice effect when lost) Val1, and (probability of selecting the notice effect when winning) Val2. , Val2 // (Val1 + Val2), and as described in the table, the calculated value at the time of non-stochastic fluctuation game = 7.671. As will be described later, the calculated value is displayed on the effect display device 2140 at the timing when the notice effect is displayed. Therefore, the calculated value may be directly displayed (the numerical value described in the “actual reliability” column in the table is displayed), or the numerical value rounded to an appropriate numerical value based on the calculated value { For example, the numerical value described in the “For Display” column in the table, rounded down to the second decimal place, or rounded up or rounded down / rounded down to any decimal place Alternatively, a numerical value rounded to a predetermined integer value (for example, an integer in 1% increments, 5% increments, and 10% increments) may be displayed. Moreover, since the big hit reliability P0 can be calculated sequentially, the calculated value may be set in advance in the table, or may be configured to be calculated as necessary.

  Further, in this example, only the method for calculating the jackpot reliability P0 when a certain notice effect type is displayed is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot reliability P0 at the timing when the effect pattern is different. The same method can be used when calculating. For example, in the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the big hit reliability P0 (in other words, the timing when the middle row of the decorative symbol does not stop when the fluctuation elapsed time is “9 seconds” (in other words, the timing at which the non-reach is extended to the reach) is displayed. Power jackpot reliability P0) (probability that any one of “N reach 1”, “N reach 2”, “S reach 1”, “S reach 2”, and “S reach 3” is selected when lost) Val1 , (Probability of selecting “N reach 1”, “N reach 2”, “S reach 1”, “S reach 2”, “S reach 3” at the time of a big hit) When Val2 / ( (Val1 + Val2). Further, for example, when “notice effect type 2” is displayed and the middle row of the decorative symbols does not stop at the fluctuation elapsed time “19 seconds”, the big hit reliability P0 (in other words, “notice The jackpot reliability P0 to be displayed at the timing of development from N reach to S reach after the display of “effect type 2” is (probability of selecting either “S reach 2” or “S reach 3” at the time of loss) When Val1 is assumed (validity that either “S reach 2” or “S reach 3” is selected at the time of the big hit) Val2, it can be calculated as Val2 / (Val1 + Val2).

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, on the other hand, in the case of No in step 2408, in step 2420, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 determines whether or not the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2420, in step 2422, the drawing display content determination unit 2152a-1 displays the symbol information (particularly, main game symbol) from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage unit 2151a. Based on the variation mode), the variation mode on the secondary game side (sub side) is determined with reference to the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 for the probability variation gaming state, and the process proceeds to Step 2426. To do. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2420, in step 2424, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 determines the variation mode on the sub game side (sub side) by the same processing as in step 2410, and proceeds to step 2426. To do.

  Here, FIG. 19 (secondary game table 2-1) is an example of a drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 (particularly, a variation mode determination table on the second game side in the probability variation gaming state). is there. As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the selection probability of the variation mode on the secondary game side may be different between the probability variation gaming state and the non-probability variation gaming state. For example, when the variation mode on the main game side is “H2”, the probability that the variation mode “N reach 1 (losing)” on the secondary game side in the non-stochastic variation game is selected is (the main game variation mode “ H2 ”selection probability) × (sub game variation mode“ N reach 1 (losing) selection probability) ”= (255/256 × 64/512) × (384/512) The probability that the variation mode “N reach 1 (losing)” on the secondary game side is selected is (the selection probability of the main game variation mode “H2”) × (sub game variation variation “N reach 1 (losing)”. Selection probability) = (246/256 × 64/512) × (16/512). That is, the selection probabilities are different from each other by the difference in the “losing” probability on the main game side and the selection ratio of the variation mode on the sub game side.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in step 2426, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 should display the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbols, the display timing of the notice effect, and the display in the same processing as in step 2412. The notice effect type is determined and set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Next, in step 2428, the probability variation latency expectation display content determination means 2152c-2-2 refers to the information (particularly the variation mode on the secondary game side) set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, The variation mode of the set secondary game side is a specific variation mode (in this example, “N reach 1 (losing)”, “N reach 2 (losing)”, “S reach 1 (losing)” and “S reach”. 2 (losing) "). In the case of Yes in step 2428, in step 2430, the probability variation latency expectation display content determination means 2152c-2-2 is based on the set variation mode on the secondary game side, and the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1. With reference to −1, the probability variation latent expectation P1 corresponding to the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined (acquired). Next, in step 2432, the probability variation latency expectation display content determination means 2152c-2-2 adds the acquired probability variation latency expectation P1 to the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2-1. Transition to 2450. In the case of No in step 2428, the process proceeds to step 2450.

  Here, FIG. 19 (sub game table 2-3) is an example of a drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 (particularly, a probability variation latency expectation level determination table). As shown in this example, the present embodiment is configured such that the probability variation latent expectation P1 is uniquely determined (calculated) based on the variation mode on the secondary game side. For example, the probability variation latency expectation P1 when an effect related to “N reach 1 (losing)” is displayed is (probability that the variation mode is selected during non-stochastic variation game) Val1, (the variation during probability variation game) (Probability of selecting an aspect) Val2 can be calculated as (Val2-Val1), and as described in the table, the calculated value = −8.963. As will be described later, the value obtained by adding the calculated value to the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2-1 is displayed on the effect display device 2140 at the end of the symbol variation. Therefore, the calculated value (and the value added to the counter) may be directly displayed (a numerical value based on the “actual reliability” column in the table) may be displayed, or an appropriate numerical value may be set based on the calculated value. Display rounded numerical values {For example, numerical values based on the "For display" column in the table, rounded down to the second decimal place, or rounded up or down / rounded to any decimal place Or a numerical value rounded to a predetermined integer value (for example, 1% increments, 5% increments, 10% increments) may be configured. Moreover, since the probability variation latency expectation degree P1 can be calculated sequentially, the calculated value may be set in advance in the table, or may be configured to be calculated as necessary.

  Also, in this example, the variation mode on the secondary game side is a specific variation mode (in this example, “N reach 1 (losing)”, “N reach 2 (losing)”, “S reach 1 (losing)” and “ S reach 2 (losing) ”) only when the probability variation latency expectation P1 is calculated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability variation is not limited to the specific variation mode. The latent expectation degree P1 may be calculated. In particular, in the case where the probability variation latency expectation P1 is calculated regardless of which variation mode on the side of the secondary game is selected, the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP1) 2152c-2-every time symbol variation is executed. The counter value of 1 can be updated.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, after the above processing is completed, in step 2450, the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 turns on the sub game content determination flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. The process proceeds to the next process (sub game display control process in step 2600).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the sub game display control process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2600 of FIG. First, in step 2602, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and determines whether or not the sub game content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e and turns off the sub game content determination flag. Next, in step 2606, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e and turns on the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2608, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a uses the drawing display unit 2141 on the effect display device 2140 based on the variation mode on the side of the secondary game set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. , Start to display the decorative symbols. Next, in step 2610, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a starts the drawing variation time management timer 2152a-4-1 and proceeds to step 2612. Note that the process proceeds to step 2612 also in the case of No in step 2602.

  Next, in step 2612, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. Next, in step 2614, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a refers to the drawing variation time management timer 2152a-4-1 and determines whether or not the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2614, in step 2616, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a displays the stop symbol of the decorative symbol on the display row that has reached the temporary stop timing, and proceeds to step 2618. If No in step 2614, the process proceeds to step 2618.

  Next, in step 2618, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a refers to the drawing variation time management timer 2152a-4-1 and determines whether or not the display timing of the notice effect has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2618, in step 2620, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a displays a notice effect image on the effect display device 2140 based on the notice effect type that has reached the display timing. Next, in step 2622, the jackpot reliability display control means 2152c-1 sets the jackpot reliability P0 corresponding to the notice effect type that has reached the display timing to a predetermined position on the effect display device 2140 (for example, a decorative symbol). Display at a position where visual recognition is not hindered), and the process proceeds to step 2624. In the case of No in step 2618, the process proceeds to step 2624.

  Next, in step 2624, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a and determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case of Yes in step 2624, in step 2626, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer 2152a-4-1. Next, in step 2628, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a displays the fixed symbol (displays the symbol image determined as the stop symbol of the decorative symbol). Next, in step 2630, the decorative symbol display control means 2152a accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e and turns off the symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2632, the probability variation latency expectation display control means 2152c-2 determines whether or not the probability variation suggestion effect mode flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e is on. If Yes in step 2632, the probability variation latency expectation display control means 2152 c-2 displays the counter value of the probability variation latency expectation counter (CP 1) 2152 c-2-1 on the effect display device 2140 in step 2634. Display at a predetermined position on the background image (if already displayed, the display content is updated), and the process proceeds to the next process (display control process during special game in step 2800). If No in step 2612, step 2624, or step 2632, the process proceeds to the next process (display control process during special game in step 2800).

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the special game display control processing according to the subroutine of Step 2800 in FIG. First, in step 2802, the special game display control unit 2152d refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152e, and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the special game display control means 2152d refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2151a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. . In the case of Yes in step 2804, in step 2806, the special game display control means 2152d turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Then, in step 2808, the special game display control means 2152d executes a big hit start display on the effect display device 2140, and proceeds to step 2810.

  Next, in step 2810, the special game display control means 2152d refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2151a, and the special game is a specific symbol (in this example, a probability variation big hit (and there is a short time) symbol. It is determined whether or not the game is a special game related to the jackpot of “A, B” symbol or “E, F” symbol which is a non-stochastic variation jackpot (and there is a short time) symbol. In the case of Yes in step 2810, in step 2812, the special game display control means 2152d turns on the battle effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Here, the battle effect execution flag is a flag that is turned on when an effect for notifying the possibility that the special game is a probability variation big hit is executed. Next, in Step 2814, the special game display control means 2152d starts displaying the background moving image related to the battle effect (in this example, the race effect with the enemy character) on the effect display device 2140. Next, in step 2900, the special game display control means 2152d executes a special game start probability variation big hit expectation degree display control process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2822. If No in step 2802 or step 2810, the process proceeds to step 2822.

  Next, in Step 2822, the special game display control means 2152d produces an effect display on the effect display device 2140 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side, and information related to the number of rounds and the number of winning prizes. Display on device 2140. Next, in step 2824, the special game display control means 2152d refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and determines whether or not the battle effect execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2824, in step 2950, the special game display control means 2152d executes a special game probability variation big hit expectation degree display control process described later, and proceeds to step 2830. In the case of No in step 2824, the process proceeds to step 2830.

  Next, in step 2830, the special game display control means 2152d refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2151a, and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in Step 2830, in Step 2832, the special game display control means 2152d executes a big hit end display on the effect display device 2140. Next, in step 2834, the special game display control means 2152d turns off the battle effect execution flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. In step 2836, the special game display control unit 2152d turns off the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152e, and proceeds to the next process (holding information management process in step 2100). To do. In the case of No in step 2804 or step 2830, the process proceeds to the next process (holding information management process in step 2100).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the special game start probability variation big hit expectation degree display control process according to the subroutine of step 2900 in FIG. First, at step 2902, the probability variation jackpot expectation display content determination means 2152c-3-2 stops the main game symbol that triggered the execution of the special game (in this example, the symbols “A, B, E, F”). 1)), with reference to the card type combination determination lottery table 2152c-3-2-1, the “combination number” is determined, and the determined “combination number” is used as the effect display related information. It is set in the temporary storage means 2152e.

  Here, FIG. 23 (sub game table 3-1) is an example of a card type combination determination lottery table 2152c-3-2-1 (particularly a combination number determination table). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, based on the stop symbol (in this example, any of the “A, B, E, F” symbols) of the main game symbol that triggered the execution of the special game, One “combination number” is determined from among a plurality of combination number candidates. Then, as will be described later, based on the determined “combination number”, the “card type” relating to whether or not the player can select and whether or not the special game is a probable big hit is determined. It is configured to be.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 2904, the probability variation jackpot expectation display content determination means 2152c-3-2 is based on the “combination number” set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, Referring to the card type combination determination lottery table 2152c-3-2-1, the “card type” is determined, and the determined “card type” is set in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2152e. In addition, the special game display control means 2152d displays a card image corresponding to the set “card type” at a predetermined position on the effect display device 2140 (for example, a position that does not hinder the visual recognition of the background moving image). .

  Here, FIG. 23 (sub game table 3-2) is an example of a card type combination determination lottery table 2152c-3-2-1 (in particular, a card type determination table). As shown in this example, the present embodiment is configured so that the “card type” is uniquely determined based on the “combination number”. For example, when “combination number = 3”, three types of “card (red)”, “card (bronze)”, and “card (silver)” are determined as “card types”. As will be described later, the notification probability of whether or not the special game is a probable big hit depends on which “card type” the player has selected.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 2906, the probability variation big hit expectation display content determination means 2152c-3-2 is based on the “combination number” set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, With reference to the card type combination determination lottery table 2152c-3-2-1, the probability variation jackpot expectation P2 corresponding to the “combination number” is determined, and the probability variation jackpot expectation counter (CP2) 2152c-3 Set to -1. Next, in step 2910, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 sets the counter value of the set probability variation big hit expectation degree counter (CP2) 2152c-3-1 to a predetermined position on the effect display device 2140 (for example, , A position that does not hinder the visual recognition of the background moving image) and returns to the calling process.

  Here, FIG. 23 (sub game table 3-3) is an example of a card type combination determination lottery table 2152c-3-2-1 (particularly, a probability variation big hit expectation level determination table). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the probability variation big hit expectation P2 is uniquely determined (calculated) based on the “combination number”. For example, the probability variation jackpot expectation P2 when “combination number = 3” is selected is (probability that “combination number” is selected in non-stochastic variation game) Val1, (in the case of “probability variation game”, Assuming that “matching number” is selected) Val2, it can be calculated as Val2 / (Val1 + Val2), and the calculated value = 50.0 as described in the table. As will be described later, the calculated value is multiplied by the probability variation big hit notification probability P3 and displayed on the effect display device 2140. Therefore, the calculated value (and the multiplied value) may be directly displayed (the numerical value based on the “actual expectation” column in the table is displayed), or the numerical value rounded to an appropriate numerical value based on the calculated value {For example, a numerical value based on the “for display” column in the table, rounded down to the second decimal place, or rounded or rounded up / rounded down to any decimal place. It may be configured to display or display a numerical value rounded to a predetermined integer value (for example, 1% increments, 5% increments, 10% increments). Further, since the probability variation big hit expectation degree P2 can be calculated sequentially, the calculated value may be set in advance in the table, or may be configured to be calculated as necessary.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the probability change big win expectation display control process during special game execution according to the subroutine of step 2950 in FIG. First, in step 2952, the probability variation jackpot expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 determines the execution condition of the card selection effect {for example, a specific round (for example, 16 rounds jackpot under the condition that the probability variation jackpot is not notified). (5th, 10th, 15th round) at the start, or in addition to the conditions, the “combination number” is not a specific number (“combination number = 8” in this example) = 8 ”, it is sufficient to notify that the probability variation is a big hit at any timing during the special game), and the like} is determined. In the case of Yes in step 2952, in step 2954, the probability variation big win expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 turns on the card selection effect execution permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and proceeds to step 2956. If No in step 2952, the process proceeds to step 2956.

  Next, in step 2956, the probability variation big hit expectation display control means 2152c-3 determines whether or not the card selection effect execution permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e is on. In the case of Yes in step 2956, in step 2958, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 turns off the card selection effect execution permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Next, in Step 2960, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 turns on the card selection effect executing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. Next, in step 2962, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 displays an effect display indicating that one of the card images (card types) currently displayed on the effect display device 2140 is selected. Execute and return to calling process.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2956, in step 2970, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 determines whether or not the card selection effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e is on. To do. In the case of Yes in step 2970, in step 2972, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152 c-3 is based on the operation information from the effect operation device 4000 and the card image (card card currently displayed on the effect display device 2140. It is determined whether any one of the types is selected. In the case of Yes in step 2972, in step 2974, the probability variation jackpot expectation display control means 2152c-3 is based on the selected card image (card type), and the probability variation jackpot notification probability determination reference table 2152c-3-2 is selected. 2, the probability variation big hit notification probability P3 is acquired, and the process proceeds to step 2976.

  Here, FIG. 25 (sub game table 4-1) is an example of the reference table 2152c-3-2-2 for probability variation big hit notification probability determination. As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the probability variation big hit notification probability P3 is uniquely determined based on the “card type” selected by the operation of the effect operation device 4000. For example, the probability variation jackpot notification probability P3 when “card (red)” is selected is “1/10 (10%)”.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 2976, the probability variation jackpot expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 determines whether or not the special game is a probability variation jackpot (in this example, an execution trigger for the special game). It is determined whether the stop symbol of the main game symbol is “A, B” symbol). In the case of Yes in step 2976, in step 2978, the probability variation jackpot expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 executes the notification lottery regarding the probability variation big hit based on the probability variation big hit notification probability P3 acquired in step 2974. Next, at step 2980, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 determines whether or not the notification lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 2980, in step 2982, the probability variation jackpot expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 notifies the fact that the special game is a probability variation jackpot (in this example, wins the race with the enemy character). Is displayed on the effect display device 2140. Next, in step 2990, the probability variation big hit expectation display control means 2152c-3 turns off the card selection effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and returns to the calling process. On the other hand, if No in Step 2976 or Step 2980, in Step 2984, the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 hides the selected card image (card type) on the effect display device 2140. (In other words, the selection cannot be made by operating the effect operation device 4000). Next, in step 2986, the probability variation jackpot expectation display control means 2152c-3 derives {count value of probability variation jackpot expectation counter (CP2) 2152c-3-1} × (1−probability variation jackpot notification probability P3) ( And the calculated value is set in a probability variation jackpot expectation counter (CP2) 2152c-3-1. Next, in step 2988, the probability variation jackpot expectation display control means 2152c-3 displays the counter value of the probability variation jackpot expectation counter (CP2) 2152c-3-1 at a predetermined position on the effect display device 2140 (already displayed). If so, the display content is updated), and the process proceeds to step 2990. In the case of No in step 2970 or step 2972, the process returns to the caller process.

(Function)
Next, the effect | action which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIGS. 26-28. 26 is an operation diagram related to the display control of the “big hit reliability P0”, FIG. 27 is an operation diagram related to the display control of the “probability variation latent expectation P1”, and FIG. FIG.

  First, FIG. 26 will be described. In this example, in a normal game (in a situation where a non-special game is in progress and a non-stochastic variable game state), the change mode on the secondary game side is “S reach 3 (winning)”. The content of the operation on the effect display device 2140 when it is determined as “” is illustrated. First, the symbol variation of the decorative symbol is started when the symbol variation of the main game symbol is started (first row in the left column in the diagram). Next, when the display timing of “notice effect type 1” is reached, a notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 1” (in this example, a telop image of “reach occurrence !?”) is displayed. (Second stage in the left column in the figure). Here, “2.3%”, which is “big hit reliability P0” corresponding to “notice effect type 1” in the non-stochastic variation gaming state, is displayed when the notice effect image is displayed. An effect that the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit has been increased (third row in the left column in the figure). Then, triggered by the arrival of the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the left column and the right column of the decorative symbol are stopped and displayed, and the reach effect is executed (the fourth column in the left column in the figure).

  Next, when the display timing of “notice effect type 2” is reached, a notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 2” (in this example, a telop image “chance!”) Is displayed. (First row in the middle row in the figure). Here, when the notice effect image is displayed, “7.6%”, which is “big hit reliability P0” corresponding to “notice effect type 2” in the non-stochastic game state, is displayed. An effect that the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit has been increased (second row in the middle row in the figure). And since the temporary stop timing concerning the middle row of the decorative symbols has not yet been reached, the reach effect is continuously executed (the third row in the middle row in the figure).

  Next, when the display timing of “notice effect type 3” is reached, a notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 3” (in this example, a telop image of “Super hot !!”) is displayed. (First stage in the right column in the figure). Here, when the notice effect image is displayed, “60%” that is “big hit reliability P0” corresponding to “notice effect type 3” in the non-stochastic variation gaming state is displayed. An effect that the degree of expectation that the fluctuation is a big hit has increased (second row in the right column in the figure). Then, when the temporary stop timing related to the middle row of the decorative symbols has been reached, the reach effect ends and the decorative symbols are displayed as jackpot symbols (third and fourth rows in the right column in the drawing).

  As a result of the above effects, when a notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 1” is displayed, the expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit increases to “2.3%” (symbol variation) Immediately after the start, it is clearly transmitted to the player that the big hit probability “expectation of about 1 / 256≈0.39%” has increased). Similarly, when a notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 2” is displayed, the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit increases to “7.6%” and corresponds to “notice effect type 3”. When the notice effect image is displayed, it is clearly transmitted to the player that the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit has increased to “60.0%”. Therefore, since it becomes possible for the player to recognize the relationship between the notice effect image and the expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit, the game on the secondary game side (the notice effect image is displayed, It is possible to clarify the gameability in which the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit increases stepwise. In addition, even when the same notice effect image is displayed, the degree of expectation that the symbol variation is a big hit depends on the gaming state (in this example, the degree of expectation is different between the probability variation game and the non-stochastic variation game) In the case of different), the fact is clearly communicated to the player, so that the game playability on the secondary game side can be further clarified.

  Next, FIG. 27 will be described. In this example, in the probability variation suggestion effect mode (when the probability variation suggestion effect mode flag is on), the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined as “N reach 1 (lost)”. The operation contents on the effect display device 2140 in the case of being played (the left column in the figure) and the operation on the effect display device 2140 in the case where the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined as “N reach 2 (losing)” The contents (right column of the figure) are shown. First, after the transition to the probability change suggestion effect mode after the end of the special game, the possibility of the probability variation gaming state at the time of the transition is displayed as “the probability change latency expectation = 50%” (left in the figure) 1st row). Next, when the change mode on the secondary game side is determined as “N reach 1 (losing)” after the transition, although the reach effect is generated (the second row in the left column in the figure), the “notice effect” The symbol variation ends as a loss variation without displaying the notice effect image corresponding to “Type 2”. Here, “-8.9%”, which is the “probability change latency expectation P1” corresponding to “N reach 1 (losing)”, is displayed when the symbol change has ended. It is added to “latency expectation level = 50%” and is displayed as “probability variation expectation level = 41.1%” (the third row in the left column in the figure). On the other hand, when the change mode on the secondary game side is determined as “N reach 2 (losing)” after the transition, a reach effect is generated (first row in the right column in the figure) and “notice effect type” After the notice effect image corresponding to “2” is displayed (second row in the right column in the figure), the symbol variation ends as a loss variation. Here, “8.5%”, which is the “expected probability of latent variation P1” corresponding to “N reach 2 (losing)”, is displayed as the “probable variation latent” at the moment when the symbol variation ends. It is added to “Expectation = 50%” and is displayed as “Probability of expected latent latency = 58.5%” (third row in the right column in the figure). In the situation of non-stochastic games, the frequency of actions as shown in the left column of the figure rises, while in the situation of probability games, the actions shown in the right column of the figure The frequency of occurrence will increase. That is, in the situation of non-stochastic variation game, the “probability variation expectation” tends to decrease, and in the situation of probability variation game, the “probability variation expectation” tends to increase easily. It will be.

  As a result of the above action, the “predictive latency expectation” increases as “notice effect type 2” is displayed. Therefore, if “notice effect type 2” only suggests the jackpot expectation level in the symbol variation. First, it is clearly transmitted to the player that the current gaming state plays a role of suggesting whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state. Therefore, the player can recognize the relevance between the notice effect image and the current game state, so the game state on the sub-game side (the display frequency of the notice effect image increases and the current game state However, it is possible to clarify the gameability in which the degree of expectation that is a gaming state advantageous to the player increases.

  Next, FIG. 28 will be described. In this example, “combination number = 3” is determined at the start of the special game related to the probability variation jackpot, and “card type = card (red)” is set. The operation content on the effect display device 2140 when selected, and the operation content on the effect display device 2140 when “card type = card (silver)” is selected are illustrated. First, when it is determined that “combination number = 3” at the start of the special game related to the probability variation jackpot, the card types that can be selected by the player are “card (red)”, “card (bronze)” "," Card (Silver) "is displayed. Further, when the combination of the card types is displayed, the expectation that the special game is a special game related to the probability variation jackpot is displayed as “probability jackpot expectation = 50%” (the left column of FIG. 1st and 2nd tier). Then, at an appropriate timing during the execution of the special game, an effect that prompts the user to select one of “card (red)”, “card (bronze)”, and “card (silver)” is displayed (the left column in the figure) (3rd stage). Here, if the player selects “card (red)”, the probability of “1/10” is informed that the special game is a probability variation jackpot, while the player is notified of “card (silver). When “)” is selected, it is notified that the special game is a probability variation jackpot with a probability of “¼”. Then, if the lottery with the probability (notification lottery probability) is not won, the currently displayed “expected probability of winning big hit = 50%” will decrease according to the notification lottery probability. . More specifically, when the player selects “card (red)”, “expected probability of winning big hit = 50%” × “9/10” = “expected probability of winning big hit = 45%”, and the game When the user selects “card (silver)”, “expected probability of big hits = 50%” × “3/4” = “expected probability of big hits = 37.5%”. That is, when a card type with a relatively high notification lottery probability is selected, and when it is not notified that the special game is a probability fluctuation jackpot, the rate of decrease in the expected probability of big hit is increased. Will go.

  As a result of the above effects, at the start of the special game, not only the degree of expectation that the special game is a special game related to the probability variation jackpot, but also the expectation based on the performance executed during the special game The transition of the degree will be clearly communicated to the player. Therefore, the player can recognize the relevance between the content of the effect executed during the special game and the expectation, so that the game on the secondary game side (the effect that the notification lottery probability is relatively high is executed). If the notification effect is not executed, the current gaming state is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player, and the expectation that the rate of decrease in the degree of expectation increases) It will be possible. That is, it is possible to provide a guideline for the player to think and determine which one of the plurality of effects having different notification lottery probabilities should be executed.

(Modification 1)
In the present embodiment, whether or not to display the notice effect image is configured to be uniquely determined based on the variation mode on the secondary game side. That is, when the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined, the notice effect image to be displayed and the jackpot reliability P0 corresponding to the notice effect image are configured to be uniquely determined. It is not limited. In particular, in the case of such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-3), the calculation of the big hit reliability P0 becomes complicated (the change mode on the sub game side and whether or not the notice effect image can be displayed). It is necessary to calculate the jackpot reliability P0 after grasping the relationship of Therefore, the configuration for solving such a problem is a modified example (modified example 1) from the present embodiment, and only the modified points from the present embodiment will be described below.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of a sub game display content determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. 17 according to the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about Step 2412 (Modification 1) and Step 2414 (Modification 1), and the purpose thereof is to determine the variation mode (lottery) processing on the secondary game side and display the notice effect image. The possibility determination (lottery) process is executed independently (without relevance). That is, in step 2412 (Variation 1), the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 draws the drawing fluctuation content determination lottery based on the variation mode on the sub-game side set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. With reference to the table 2152a-1-1, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol is determined and set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. In step 2414 (modified 1), the drawing display content determination means 2152a-1 executes a notice effect (including jackpot reliability) display propriety / display content determination process described later.

  Next, FIG. 30 shows a notice effect (including the big hit reliability) to be executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of Step 2414 (Modification 1) of FIG. 29 according to Modification 1 from the present embodiment. It is a flowchart of a display propriety / display content determination process. First, in Step 2414-02 (Variation 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 determines the sub-game side based on the variation mode on the sub-game side set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. It is determined whether or not the variation mode on the game side is “non-reach” {“non-reach (lost)” or “non-reach (win)”}. In the case of Yes in Step 2414-02 (Variable 1), in Step 2414-10 (Variable 1), the big hit reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 indicates that the variation mode on the secondary game side is “(winning)”. {In this example, it is determined whether or not “(winning)” is described in the variation mode on the secondary game side}. In the case of Yes in Step 2414-10 (Modified 1), in Step 2414-12 (Modified 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 displays the current gaming state and FIG. Based on the “selection probability Val2” related to the “notice effect type 1” in 3), a notice effect display availability lottery is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2414-16 (variable 1). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2414-10 (variant 1), in step 2414-14 (variant 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 displays the current gaming state and FIG. 18 (sub game table). Based on the “selection probability Val1” related to the “notice effect type 1” in 1-3), a lottery for whether or not the notice effect is displayed is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2414-16 (change 1). Next, in Step 2414-16 (Variation 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 determines whether or not the lottery for displaying or not displaying the notice effect has been won. In the case of Yes in Step 2414-16 (Modification 1), in Step 2414-17 (Modification 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 refers to FIG. 18 (Sub game table 1-2). Thus, “notice effect type 1” is determined as the display timing of the notice effect and the notice effect type to be displayed, and is set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. In step 2414-18 (change 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination unit 2152c-1-2 refers to FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-3) based on the current game state, The “big hit reliability P0” corresponding to the production type 1 ”is acquired, and the acquired“ big hit reliability P0 ”is set in the production display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and in step 2414-20 (odd 1). Transition. If step 2414-16 (modified 1) is No, the process proceeds to step 2414-20 (modified 1).

  Next, in Step 2414-20 (Variation 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 indicates that the variation mode on the secondary game side is “(winning)” {in this example, the secondary game side It is determined whether or not “(winning)” is described in the fluctuation mode of. In the case of Yes in Step 2414-20 (Modification 1), in Step 2414-22 (Modification 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 displays the current gaming state and FIG. Based on the “selection probability Val2” related to the “notice effect type 2” in 3), the notice effect displayable lottery is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2414-26 (variable 1). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2414-20 (variant 1), in step 2414-24 (variant 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 displays the current gaming state and FIG. Based on the “selection probability Val1” related to the “notice effect type 2” in 1-3), a notice effect displayable lottery is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2414-26 (change 1). Next, in Step 2414-26 (Variation 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 determines whether or not a lottery to display the notice effect is won. In the case of Yes in step 2414-26 (variant 1), in step 2414-27 (variant 1), the jackpot reliability display content determining means 2152c-1-2 refers to FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-2). Then, “notice effect type 2” is determined as the display timing of the notice effect and the notice effect type to be displayed, and is set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. In step 2414-28 (Variation 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 refers to FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-3) based on the current gaming state, The “hit reliability P0” corresponding to the performance type 2 ”is acquired, and the acquired“ hit reliability P0 ”is set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and in step 2414-30 (odd 1). Transition. If step 2414-26 (modified 1) is No, the process proceeds to step 2414-30 (modified 1).

  Next, in step 2414-30 (change 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 determines that the change mode on the secondary game side is “N reach” {“N reach 1 (losing)”, “ N reach 2 (losing) ”,“ N reach 1 (per win) ”or“ N reach 2 (per win) ”}. In the case of Yes in Step 2414-30 (Variable 1), in Step 2414-32 (Variable 1), the big hit reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 indicates that the variation mode on the secondary game side is “(winning)”. {In this example, it is determined whether or not “(winning)” is described in the variation mode on the secondary game side}. In the case of Yes in Step 2414-32 (Modification 1), in Step 2414-34 (Modification 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 displays the current gaming state and FIG. Based on the “selection probability Val2” related to the “notice effect type 3” in 3), a lottery for whether or not the notice effect is displayed is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2414-38 (variable 1). On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2414-32 (Modification 1), in Step 2414-36 (Modification 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 displays the current gaming state and FIG. Based on the “selection probability Val1” related to the “notice effect type 3” in 1-3), a notice effect displayable lottery is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2414-38 (variable 1). Next, in Step 2414-38 (Variation 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 determines whether or not a lottery for displaying the notice effect is won. In the case of Yes in step 2414-38 (variant 1), in step 2414-39 (variant 1), the jackpot reliability display content determining means 2152c-1-2 refers to FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-2). Then, “notice effect type 3” is determined as the display timing of the notice effect and the notice effect type to be displayed, and is set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2152e. In step 2414-40 (Variation 1), the jackpot reliability display content determination means 2152c-1-2 refers to FIG. 18 (sub game table 1-3) based on the current gaming state, The “big hit reliability P0” corresponding to the production type 3 ”is acquired, and the acquired“ big hit reliability P0 ”is set in the production display related information temporary storage means 2152e, and the process returns to the caller process. If the answer is No in Step 2414-02 (Modification 1), Step 2414-30 (Modification 1), or Step 2414-38 (Modification 1), the process returns to the calling process.

  By changing to the configuration as described above, in the first modification of the present embodiment, the same operation as in the present embodiment is achieved, and the change mode determination (lottery) processing on the secondary game side and the notice effect image are performed. The display availability determination (lottery) process can be executed independently (without relevance). As a result, the calculation of the jackpot reliability P0 becomes simple (the jackpot reliability P0 can be calculated based only on the lottery probability in the lottery for whether or not to display the notice effect image). It is possible to reduce the risk that the big hit reliability P0 may become an unintended value due to a mistake. In addition, when comprised like the modification 1 of this embodiment, it may become an effect | action different from this embodiment. More specifically, for example, when the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined as “N reach 2 (losing)” in this embodiment, the notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 2” is always displayed. On the other hand, when the variation mode on the secondary game side is determined as “N reach 2 (losing)” in the first modification of the present embodiment, the notice effect image corresponding to “notice effect type 2” is necessarily displayed. Not necessarily. In other words, as the playability of the secondary game side, the so-called law of performance (for example, when a certain advance fluctuation image is displayed and then developed into a specific reach fluctuation, the symbol fluctuation is determined to be a big hit, etc.) It is supplemented that it is preferable to adopt the configuration of the present embodiment rather than the first modification of the present embodiment when it is desired to add such playability.

(Modification 2)
In the present embodiment, the probability variation latency expectation P1 is calculated as (probability that a certain variation mode is selected during probability variation game) − (probability that a certain variation mode is selected during non-probability variation game). However, the present invention is not limited to this. In particular, with such a configuration, the calculated value does not change depending on the number of symbol fluctuations after the special game, and there is a problem that the game may not be interesting. Therefore, the configuration for solving such a problem is a modified example (modified example 2) from the present embodiment, and only the modified points from the present embodiment will be described below.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of a sub game display content determination process executed on the sub (sub main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. 17 according to the second modification from the present embodiment. First, the change from this embodiment is about Step 2430 (Modification 2), and the purpose is to a table configured such that the probability variation latency expectation P1 changes according to the number of symbol fluctuations after the special game. Based on this, the probability variation latent expectation P1 is determined. That is, in step 2430 (odd 2), the probability variation latent expectation level display content determining means 2152c-2-2 is the auxiliary game side set in the temporary display related information temporary storage means 2152e after the special game. Based on the variation mode, the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 is referred to to determine (acquire) the probability variation latent expectation P1 corresponding to the variation mode on the secondary game side.

  Here, FIG. 32 (sub game table 2-4) is an example of the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2152a-1-1 (the probability variation latency expectation level determination table) according to the second modification from the present embodiment. It is. As shown in this example, the second modification of the present embodiment is configured such that the absolute value of the probability variation latent expectation P1 increases as the number of symbol fluctuations after the special game increases. However, in the present embodiment, a value calculated as (probability that a certain variation mode is selected during probability variation game) − (probability that the certain variation mode is selected during non-probability variation game) is a negative value. In the case of the variation mode on the secondary game side, an arbitrary negative value is set. On the other hand, in the case of the variation mode on the secondary game side that is a positive value, it is preferable to set an arbitrary positive value. It is.

  By changing to the configuration as described above, in the second modification of the present embodiment, the same effect as in the present embodiment is obtained, and the probability variation probability expectation depends on the number of symbol fluctuations after the special game. Since the increase / decrease width of the counter value (and display value) of the counter (CP1) 2152c-2-1 increases, it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

(Modification 3)
In this embodiment, the counter value (and display value) of the probability variation big hit expectation counter (CP2) 2152c-3-1 that changes during the special game is {probability big hit expectation counter (CP2) 2152c-3. -1 counter value} × (1-probability big hit notification probability P3), but is not limited to this. In particular, in the case of such a configuration, there is a problem in that the calculated value may decrease every time it changes, so that the interest of the game may be lacking. Therefore, a configuration for solving such a problem is a modified example (modified example 3) from the present embodiment, and only the modified points from the present embodiment will be described below.

  Next, FIG. 33 shows a special game execution probability variable big hit expectation degree display control process executed on the sub (sub-main board) side according to the subroutine of step 2950 of FIG. 24 according to the third modification from the present embodiment. It is a flowchart. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about Step 2974 (Modification 3), Step 2975 (Modification 3), Step 2980 (Modification 3) and Step 2988 (Modification 3), and the purpose thereof is the above-described calculated value. Is to change the counter value (and display value) of the probability variation big hit anticipation counter (CP2) 2152c-3-1 during the special game based on a table in which a value that is an alternative to the above is set in advance. That is, in Step 2974 (Variation 3), the probability variation big hit expectation display control means 2152c-3 selects the “combination number”, the card image (card type) selection operation count (history), and the card image (card) selected this time. Based on the type), the probability variation jackpot notification probability determination reference table 2152c-3-2-2 is referred to to obtain probability variation jackpot notification probabilities P4-1 and P4-2, and the process proceeds to Step 2975 (Modification 3). .

  Here, FIG. 34 (sub game table 4-2) shows a probability variation jackpot notification probability determination reference table 2152c-3-2-2 (probability variation jackpot expectation level determination table) according to Modification 3 from this embodiment. It is an example. As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the “combination number”, the number of card image (card type) selection operations (history) by the operation of the rendering operation device 4000, and the card image (card type) selected this time. ) Based on the probability variation big hit expectation degree P4-1, P4-2 is configured to be uniquely determined. In addition, this example is an example to the last, and the value set to the probability variation big hit expectation P4-1 and P4-2 may be configured to appropriately set a calculated value based on a theoretical calculation formula.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in Step 2975 (Variation 3), the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 gives the obtained “probability big hit expectation degree P4-1” to the predetermined on the effect display device 2140. Display at the position (if already displayed, the display content is updated), and the process proceeds to step 2976. In addition, when the process proceeds to Step 2980 (Variation 3), the probability variation jackpot expectation display control means 2152c-3 notifies the fact that it is a probability variation jackpot (for example, “probability variation jackpot expectation P4-1. It is determined whether or not the notification lottery based on “” is satisfied. If the notification condition is satisfied, the processing from step 2982 is executed as in the present embodiment. On the other hand, if the notification condition is not satisfied, in step 2988 (Variation 3), the probability variation big hit expectation degree display control means 2152c-3 displays the obtained “probability big hit expectation degree P4-2” in the effect display device. 2140 is displayed at a predetermined position on 2140 (if already displayed, the display content is updated), and the process proceeds to step 2990.

  By changing to the configuration as described above, in the third modification of the present embodiment, the same effect as in the present embodiment is obtained, and the probability variation jackpot expectation displayed during the special game is changed each time it is changed. Since the display contents are rich in undulations that may increase as well as decrease, it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

  In this embodiment (including the modified example), the gaming state after the special game is uniquely determined by the type of the stop symbol of the main game symbol that triggered the execution of the special game. Yes. In addition, the main game symbol display unit 2131 displays which stop symbol the main game symbol is (the main game symbol display unit 2131 is devised so that the stop symbol is difficult to identify. Can be made, but cannot be made indistinguishable). That is, the player can guess the gaming state after the special game by visually recognizing the type of stop symbol of the main game that triggered the execution of the special game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, a method of determining the game state after the special game by separate lottery regardless of the type of the stop symbol of the main game symbol can be mentioned. For example, the jackpot symbol of the main game symbol (in this example, eight types of stop symbols “A” to “H”) is set to one type and any timing until the special game ends (for example, at the start of the special game) ) Based on a predetermined probability (for example, 1/2), it is configured to execute a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to a specific gaming state (for example, probability varying gaming state). With this configuration, the player cannot guess the gaming state after the special game only by visually recognizing the type of stop symbol of the main game that triggered the execution of the special game. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the interest of the effect of notifying or suggesting the gaming state after the special game.

  In this embodiment (including the modified example), the card type combination determination process and the determined card type display process (see FIG. 22) are executed at the start of the special game. This is not a limitation. In such a case, the card type combination determination process and the determined card type display process are performed before the transition to the special game and in the situation where the transition to the special game is determined in advance. May be configured to execute. For example, when it is determined in advance at the start of a certain symbol variation that a transition to a special game is made at the end of the certain symbol variation, a so-called pseudo continuous variation mode is executed as the variation mode of the certain symbol variation. In addition to the configuration for executing the card type combination determination process, the display process for the determined card type is executed every time the pseudo variation ends (for example, when the pseudo variation is executed three times, (Pseudo fluctuation first time = card 1, pseudo fluctuation second time = card 2, pseudo fluctuation third time = card 3). In addition, for example, when it is determined in advance at the start of a certain symbol variation that a transition to a special game is made in advance at the end of the symbol variation related to the hold that will be digested after that certain symbol variation, And the card type combination determination process are executed, and the display process of the determined card type is executed every time the continuous effect is completed (for example, the continuous effect has three variations). Are executed, the first change of the continuous effect = card 1, the second change of the continuous effect = card 2, the third change of the continuous effect = card 3 is displayed). When configured in this way, in particular, it is possible to improve the interest of the performance executed at the time of symbol variation in a situation where the player recognizes that the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state Become. That is, in such a situation, the player mainly pays attention to whether or not the next big hit is a probability change big hit. In the variation mode, the pre-reading continuous production), rather than notifying whether or not the symbol variation is a big hit, it is notifying whether or not the symbol variation is a probability variation big hit (in this example, the card type Informing the possibility that the probability variation is a big hit depending on the type) will improve the fun of the game.
