Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and particularly relates to a game effect.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine that has a start opening and an openable large winning opening in a game area where a game ball can flow down, when the game ball wins the start opening, the determination stored in the holding storage unit When the number of information (holding number) is less than 4, the determination information is acquired and stored in the holding storage unit (holding), and when the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the holding number is 1 or more. Then, the held one determination information is erased (digested) from the hold storage unit, and based on the digested determination information, the big hit determination of “big hit” or “lost” is performed.

  Furthermore, when the big hit determination is performed, a variation pattern (variation time) for displaying the special symbol in a variable manner is determined based on the determination result, and the special symbol starts to fluctuate and fluctuates according to the determined variation pattern. After that, a determination symbol indicating the result of the jackpot determination is displayed so as to stop. When it is judged as “big hit”, the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a judgment symbol, and a special game is performed to open the normally closed big prize opening, where a large number of game balls are awarded to the big prize opening. Thus, a considerable number of game balls can be acquired.

  By the way, when the special symbol is variably displayed, an image (moving image) displayed on the image display for presentation and a voice output from the speaker in accordance with the image are displayed in the variation pattern of the special symbol. A corresponding game production is performed. In this game effect, basically, a plurality of effect symbols start to fluctuate together with a special symbol, and are displayed to stop at a stop symbol sequence indicating the result of the jackpot determination, but a plurality of effect symbols stop after the change starts There is a case where the reach state is reached (for example, two of the three effect symbols stop at the same symbol), and a reach effect indicating that there is a high possibility that a special game will be performed. .

  Usually, when it is determined as “big hit”, a plurality of performance symbols are in a reach state, a reach performance is performed, and at the end of the reach performance, a plurality of performance symbols are stopped and displayed in the jackpot symbol row, If it is determined to be “losing”, a plurality of effect symbols are not in a reach state (no reach effect is performed), and are often stopped and displayed in a loss symbol pattern. The production symbol is in the reach state, the reach production is performed, and when the reach production is completed, the plurality of production symbols are stopped and displayed in the lost symbol row (see Patent Document 1).

  The reach production is selected and performed from a plurality of reach productions with different production modes based on the result of the jackpot determination, and the case where the ratio of each reach production is determined to be “hit” and “losing” Differently from the case where it is determined, the expected degree of jackpot determined as “big hit” can be made different for each reach production. In this way, the player expects to reach a reach state after a plurality of effect symbols start to fluctuate, and then, when reaching a reach state, a reach effect with a higher jackpot expectation is performed, and Since it is possible to play a game with the expectation that it will be a “big hit” by the reach production, it is possible to improve the gameability.

  Furthermore, in this type of pachinko machine, after a special game is performed, a first gaming state in which the jackpot probability determined as “big hit” is low, and a second game in which the jackpot probability is high. The game is controlled in any of the game states, and it is determined when it is determined that the game state is the “big hit”, and the game state after the special game is performed is the special game state. A model that is suggested by the type of jackpot symbol sequence of a plurality of effect symbols that are stopped and displayed before a game is performed is known (see Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-37483 JP 2014-226446 A

In the game effect performed when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, an effect (reach effect) that expects a special game to be performed, or as shown in Patent Document 2, If the production system (production control) for performing the production suggesting the game state after the game is performed is simple or not novel, it is difficult to enhance the production effect and the game performance.
An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing the effect and the game performance.

In the first invention (the gaming machine (1)), a determination means (43) for determining whether or not a special game advantageous to a player is to be performed when the start condition is established, and the special game is determined by the determination means (43). If it is determined to perform, the special game execution means (45) for performing the special game, and the game state control means capable of controlling the game in a specific game state advantageous to the player after the special game is performed ( 60) and an effect control means (71) for performing a predetermined effect based on the determination result by the determination means (43), and the effect control means (71) may perform the special game. There is a time to perform a time to perform a special effect indicating that high, the first special effect indicating that there is a possibility that the game is controlled by the specific gaming state is not performed the special effect, Loss suggesting that the special game may not be performed in the special performance After to perform the effect, the the game at a particular game state it possible to perform the second special effect indicating that there is likely to be controlled, determines to perform the special game by the determination means (43) In the first special effect or the second special effect, there are cases where a predetermined specific effect is performed or not, and the determination means (43) determines that the special game is not performed. In this case, in the first special effect or the second special effect, the specific effect is not performed, and the game state control means (60) is determined to perform the special game by the determination means (43). And when the specific effect is performed in the first special effect or the second special effect, the determination means (43) determines that the special game is to be performed, and the first special effect is performed. Production or the second feature In the effect, the game is controlled in the specific game state with a higher probability than when the specific effect is not performed, and the probability that the specific effect is performed in the first special effect and the second special effect is mutually It is characterized by being different.

According to a second invention, in the first invention, when the effect control means (71) determines that the special game is to be performed by the determination means (43), the special effect is different from the lose effect. The special game execution means (45) can perform the first special game when the lose effect is not performed in the special effect, and the first special game can be performed. When the specific effect is performed in the special effect or the second special effect, it is possible to perform a second special game that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first special game.

A third invention is have you to the second aspect, even if it is determined to perform the special game by the determination means (43), the special game execution means (45), the first special effect Alternatively, when the specific effect is not performed in the second special effect, it is possible to perform a third special game that is more advantageous to the player than the second special game.

  According to a fourth aspect, in the third aspect, the gaming state control means (60) does not control the game in the specific gaming state after the third special game is performed.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to enhance the production effect and game playability.

The computer of the lamp control board 35 receives the signals from the first and second movable hands 22 and 23 (SW) and the control information from the effect control board 33, and receives the first and second movable hands 22 and 23 ( Electric motor), frame lamp 38a, panel lamp 38b, and control information is output to the effect control board 33.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, each means 40-46, 52-55, 60, 61 of the game control board 31 mainly constituted by a computer will be described.

  The random number update means 40 is in a reach state when a big hit random number for determining whether or not to play a special game, a big hit symbol random number for determining a big hit symbol when performing a special game, or when a special game is not performed. The reach random number for determining whether or not to perform, and the variation pattern random number for determining the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol are sequentially updated every minute time within the set range.

  The symbol information acquisition means 41 is a jackpot random number updated by the random number updating means 40 when the starting condition is satisfied when the number of first special symbol hold is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first starting port 11, Big hit symbol random number, reach random number, and variation pattern random number are acquired as a set of first special symbol information, and when the second special symbol hold number is less than 4 when the game ball wins the second starting port 12a When the condition is satisfied, the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, the reach random number, and the variation pattern random number updated by the random number updating unit 40 are acquired as a set of second special symbol information.

  The special symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition unit 41 when the start condition is satisfied is stored (suspended) in the special symbol information storage unit 42. The special symbol information storage means 42 can store a maximum of four pieces of first and second special symbol information, and the number of first special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is the first special symbol information. The number of the second special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 becomes the second special symbol reservation number.

  When the first and second special symbols are in the variable stop state and at least one of the first and second special symbol holding numbers is 1 or more, the special symbol variation start condition is satisfied, and each time the variation start condition is satisfied The special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is erased (digested) from the special symbol information storage means 42 one by one for determination by the special symbol information determination means 43 one by one. Here, when a plurality of special symbol information is put on hold, the plurality of special symbol information is digested in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41, provided that the first and second special information are provided. When both of the symbol information are reserved, the second special symbol information is used for the determination and digested in preference to the first special symbol information.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the big hit determining means 43a is based on the big hit random number of the special symbol information acquired (suspended) by the establishment of the start condition and digested by the establishment of the variation start condition. It is determined whether or not an advantageous special game (a big hit game, a small hit game) is to be performed, and when the symbol determination means 43b determines that a big hit game is to be performed by the big hit determination means 43a, the big hit symbol random number of the special symbol information Based on this, the jackpot symbol to be stopped is determined (selected), and any of the first and second jackpot winning openings 14a, 15a during the jackpot game, that is, a plurality of jackpot games with different degrees of advantage is performed. And the gaming state after the big hit game is determined.

  Specifically, the jackpot determination means 43a uses a jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 4 and when “normal game state” or “short-time game state” is set, a ratio of about 1/400 (low probability) ) In addition, when “latent probability gaming state” or “probability variation gaming state” is set, the jackpot random number of the special symbol information and the jackpot specific value at a rate of about 10/400 (high probability). If they match, it is determined that a big hit game, which is a special game, is performed. Regardless of the set gaming state, if the big hit random number of the special symbol information matches the small hit specific value at a rate of about 3/400, it is determined that the small hit game, which is a kind of special game, will be performed. .

  Specifically, the symbol determination means 43b determines which one of a plurality of jackpot symbols (the jackpot symbols A to I, a, b shown in FIG. 5) when the jackpot determination means 43a determines that a big hit game is to be performed. If it is determined that a small hit game is to be selected, the small hit symbol is selected as a determination symbol, and if it is determined that a special game (big hit game, small hit game) is not to be performed, the lose symbol is used as the determination symbol select. When the special symbol information is the first special symbol information, the symbol selection is performed at the selection rate defined by the first symbol selection table shown in FIG. 5, and the special symbol information is the second special symbol information. In the case of symbol information, symbols are selected at a selection rate defined by the second symbol selection table shown in FIG.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the reach determining means 43c is basically in a reach state in which a special game is expected to be performed when it is determined by the jackpot determining means 43a that a special game is to be performed. If it is determined by 43a that no special game is to be performed, it is determined whether or not to reach a reach state based on the reach random number of the special symbol information.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the fluctuation pattern determining means 43d includes the special symbol information (specifically, the determination results by the big hit determining means 43a and the symbol determining means 43b (selected determination symbols; jackpot symbols A to I, a, b, small winning symbol, lost symbol), based on the determination result (reach random number), variation pattern random number) by the reach determination means 43c, and further based on the gaming state, the number of special symbol hold, etc. A variation pattern (variation time) for variably displaying the special symbol is determined (determined). Specific processing for determining the variation pattern by the variation pattern determination unit 43d will be described later.

  The special symbol display control means 44 starts the variable display of the first special symbol when the first special symbol information is digested, and the second special symbol information is triggered when the second special symbol information is digested. The variation display is started, and the special symbol is variably displayed with the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination means 43d. That is, after the variation time and the special symbol defined by the variation pattern are variably displayed, the big hit determination means 43a, The determination symbol indicating the determination result by the symbol determination means 43b is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the big hit game is performed by the big hit determination means 43a, any of the big hit symbols A to I, a, b selected by the symbol determination means 43b is stopped and displayed as the determination symbols, and the small hit game is executed. If it is determined, the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a determination symbol, and if it is determined not to perform a special game (big hit game or small hit game), the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a determination symbol.

  When the special game execution means 45 determines that the special game (big hit game, small hit game) is to be performed by the big hit determination means 43a, the special symbol display control means 44 determines the determination symbol indicating the determination result, ie, the symbol determination means 43b. After the determination symbol (any one of the big hit symbols A to I, a, b, or the small hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, the first and second big prize winning openings 14a, with the open pattern corresponding to the determination symbol are displayed. A special game (big hit game, small hit game) advantageous to the player who opens any of 15a is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when any of the big hit symbols A to C is stopped, the “probable big hit” is displayed, and when the big hit symbol H is stopped, the “surprise big hit” is set, and the big hit symbol I is stopped and displayed. When the big hit symbol a is stopped and displayed, it becomes “short-time big hit”, when the big hit symbol b is stopped, it becomes “hit big hit” and when the small hit symbol is stopped, In both the big hit and the small hit, the big hit game and the small hit game that open the first big winning opening 14a are performed.

  The opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14a during the jackpot game is 16R long-term opening, 4R long-term opening, 2R long-term opening depending on the type of the big hit symbol (big hit symbols AC, H, I, a, b) Open and 2R short-term open ("R" means round) is set, and the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14a during the small hit game is the same as the open pattern corresponding to the big hit symbols H and I 2R short-term opening.

  When the 1st grand prize opening 14a is opened for 16R for a long time, the first big prize opening 14a is opened and closed over 1 to 16R, and when the 4R long term is opened, the first big prize opening 14a is opened for 1 to 4R. In the 2R long-term opening, the first grand prize opening 14a is opened and closed over 1 to 2R. Each round starts after opening the first big prize opening 14a, and then the first big prize opening 14a. If, for example, 10 game balls are won or the R end condition is satisfied, e.g., 30 seconds elapses, the first big prize opening 14a is closed and the game ends. In 2R short-term opening, the first big prize opening 14a is 1 -2 Opened and closed over R, and each round starts after opening the first grand prize opening 14a, and, for example, 10 game balls are won in the first big prize opening 14a, or for example, 0.1 seconds elapses. When the end condition is satisfied, the first grand prize winning opening 14a is closed and the process ends.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when any one of the big hit symbols D to G is stopped and displayed, it becomes “RUSH probability change big hit”, and in this big hit, a big hit game that opens the second big winning opening 15a is performed. Depending on the type of jackpot symbol (big hit symbol DG), the opening pattern of the second big prize opening 15a during the jackpot game is 16R long-term opening, 10R long-term 6R short-term opening, 7R long-term 9R short-term opening, 4 R long-term 12R short-term open.

  In the 2nd grand prize opening 15a, 16R long-term opening, 10R long-term 6R short-term opening, 7R long-term 9R short-term opening, 4R long-term 12R short-term opening, the 2nd big winning opening 15a ranges from 1 to 16R. Opened and closed, 1R to 16R for 16R long term opening, 1R to 10R for 10R long term 6R short term opening, 1R to 7R for 7R long term 9R short term opening, 4R long term In the 12R short-term opening, each R of 1 to 4R starts by opening the second grand prize opening 15a, and then, for example, 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 15a, or for example, 30 seconds elapses. When the R end condition is satisfied, the second big prize opening 15a is closed and the process ends, and each R of 11-16R is 10R long-term 6R short-term opening, and each R of 8-16R is 7R long-term 9R short-term opening. In the 4R long-term 12R short-term opening, each R of 5 to 16R starts by opening the second big prize opening 15a, and then, for example, 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 15a. That, or elapsed example 0.1 seconds, R termination condition is satisfied, and ends by closing the second special winning opening 15a.

  Based on the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage unit 42 (that is, the special symbol information to be used later by the special symbol information determination unit 43), the prior determination unit 46, specifically, the symbol When the special symbol information is acquired by the information acquisition unit 41, the special symbol information determination unit 43 (big hit determination unit 43a, symbol determination unit 43b, reach determination unit 43c, fluctuation pattern determination unit 43d) is applied to the special symbol information. (E.g., whether or not to play a special game, jackpot symbols A to I, a, b, small hit symbol, determination of lose symbol, whether or not to reach reach, special symbol) (Determining the variation pattern)

  On the other hand, the random number updating means 40, for each minute, within a set range, a hit random number for determining whether or not to perform an auxiliary game and a hit symbol random number for determining a hit symbol when performing an auxiliary game. Update every time. The symbol information obtaining means 41 receives the winning random number and the winning symbol random number updated by the random number updating means 40 when the starting condition is established when the number of the reserved symbols is less than 4 when the game ball passes the gate 13. Acquired as a set of normal symbol information. The normal symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition unit 41 when the start condition is satisfied is stored (suspended) in the normal symbol information storage unit 52. The normal symbol information storage means 52 can store up to four pieces of normal symbol information, and the number of normal symbol information stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 is the number of normal symbol holds.

  When the normal symbol is in the variable stop state and the number of normal symbols held is 1 or more, the normal symbol variation start condition is satisfied, and the normal symbol information stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 each time this variation start condition is satisfied. The symbol information is erased (digested) from the normal symbol information storage unit 52 for the determination by the normal symbol information determination unit 53 sequentially one by one. Here, when a plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are held, the plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are digested for the determination in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41.

  In the normal symbol information determination means 53, the hit determination means 53a gives the player a win based on the hit random number of the normal symbol information acquired (suspended) when the start condition is satisfied and digested when the change start condition is satisfied. When it is determined whether or not an advantageous auxiliary game is to be performed, and it is determined that an auxiliary game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 53b determines (selects) a winning symbol to be stopped and displayed based on the winning symbol random number of the normal symbol information. Then, the opening pattern of the second start port 12a during the auxiliary game, that is, which of a plurality of auxiliary games having different degrees of advantage is determined.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the “normal gaming state” or the “latent gaming state” (“low operation mode”) is set, the hit determination means 53a has a ratio of 1/10. In addition, when “short-time gaming state” or “probability gaming state” (“high operation mode”) is set, it is determined that the auxiliary game is performed at a rate of 10/10, and the auxiliary game is performed. When the determination is made, the symbol determination means 53b selects one of a plurality of winning symbols (winning symbols a, b) as shown in FIG. 8 and determines that the auxiliary game is not performed. Select a design.

  The normal symbol display control means 54 starts normal symbol variation display when the normal symbol information is digested, and “normal game state” or “latent probability game state” (“low operation mode”) is set. If the “Time-short game state” or “Probability game state” (“High operation mode”) is set for 12 seconds, the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner for 0.5 seconds, and then the normal symbol is displayed. The determination symbol indicating the determination result by the information determination means 53 is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined by the hit determination means 53a that the auxiliary game execution means 55 determines to perform the auxiliary game, the normal symbol display control means 54 indicates the determination symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the determination symbol selected by the symbol determination means 53b (winning game) After one of the symbols a and b) is stopped and displayed, an auxiliary game advantageous to the player who opens the second starting port 12a is performed with an opening pattern corresponding to the determination symbol. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the opening pattern of the second starting port 12a during the auxiliary game is set as shown according to the type of the winning symbol and the gaming state (operation mode).

  The gaming state control means 60 alternatively sets one of a plurality of gaming states ("normal gaming state", "short-time gaming state", "latent certain gaming state", "probability varying gaming state" shown in FIG. 9) Control the game in the game state. It should be noted that when the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, the “normal gaming state” is set.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the “normal gaming state” or the “short-time gaming state” is set, the jackpot probability that the jackpot determining means 43a determines to perform the jackpot game is low (about 1 / 400) and “latent probability gaming state” or “probability changing gaming state” is set, the big hit probability is set to a high probability (about 10/400 shown in FIG. 4), and “normal gaming state” Alternatively, when “latent probability game state” is set, the second start port operation mode is set to a low operation mode in which the second start port 12a is difficult to operate in the open state, and the “time-short game state” or “probability change game state” is set. Is set, a high operation mode is set in which the second start port 12a is easily operated in an open state.

  When the big hit game is played by the special game execution means 45, the game state control means 60 changes the setting of the game state after the big hit game as shown in FIG. When any of the big hit symbols A to C is stopped and displayed as “probable big hit”, when any of the big hit symbols D to G is stopped and displayed as “RUSH probable big hit”, When the symbol H is stopped and the game is “Crushing big hit”, after setting the big hit game, the “probable game state” is set, and then the number of times that the special symbol is variably displayed (special symbol fluctuation number) is 10000 times. If exceeded, the setting is changed from “probability game state” to “normal game state”.

  If the jackpot symbol I is stopped and displayed as a “crash / big hit”, the “latent game state” is set after the jackpot game ends, and if the number of special symbol fluctuations exceeds 10,000, Change the setting from “Status” to “Normal Game Status”. However, the game state other than the “normal game state” (“latent probability game state” or “short-time game state” or “probability variable game state”) becomes “abrupt big hit”, and after the big hit game ends, the “probable variable game state” is changed. After that, when the number of special symbol fluctuations exceeds 10,000, the setting is changed from “probability changed gaming state” to “normal gaming state”.

  When the big hit symbol a is stopped and displayed as a “short time big hit”, or when the big hit symbol b is stopped and displayed as a “hit big hit”, the “short time gaming state” is set after the big hit game ends. Thereafter, when the number of special symbol changes exceeds 20, 40, or 60, the setting is changed from the “short-time gaming state” to the “normal gaming state”. When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as “small hit”, the game state before the start of the small hit game is set after the small hit game ends (that is, the setting of the game state is not changed).

  Here, a specific process in which the variation pattern determination unit 43d determines a variation pattern will be described. In order to determine the variation pattern, there are a plurality of variation pattern determination tables, and the variation pattern determination means 43d determines the variation pattern for varying the special symbol using the variation pattern determination table corresponding to the current gaming state. .

  First, when “normal gaming state” or “latent probability gaming state” is set, the variation pattern determination table for the normal / latent certain gaming state shown in FIG. When it is determined by the special symbol information determining means 43 that a special game is to be performed (“big hit” or “small hit”), the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) and the first special symbol information If it is determined that the special game is not to be performed ("losing"), the reach random number and the variation pattern random number of the first special symbol information are further determined depending on the reach random number. Based on the first special symbol holding number, one variation pattern is determined from the plurality of variation patterns shown.

  For the second special symbol, if the special symbol information determining means 43 determines that the special game is to be performed ("big hit" or "small hit"), the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) ) And the variation pattern random number of the second special symbol information, and when it is determined that the special game is not performed (becomes “losing”), based on the reach random number of the second special symbol information, Further, depending on the reach random number, one variation pattern is determined from the plurality of variation patterns shown on the basis of the variation pattern random number of the second special symbol information.

  Next, when “short-time gaming state” or “probability changing gaming state” is set, a special pattern is used for the first special symbol using the variation pattern determination table for the short-time / probability changing gaming state shown in FIG. When it is determined by the symbol information determination means 43 that a special game is to be performed (“big hit” or “small hit”), the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) and the first special symbol information Based on the variation pattern random number, and when it is determined that the special game is not performed (becomes “losing”), the variation pattern random number of the first special symbol information is selected from the plurality of variation patterns illustrated. 1 variation pattern is determined.

  For the second special symbol, if the special symbol information determining means 43 determines that the special game is to be performed ("big hit" or "small hit"), the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) ) And the variation random number of the second special symbol information, and if it is determined that the special game is not performed (becomes “losing”), based on the reach random number of the second special symbol information. Further, depending on the reach random number, one variation pattern is determined from the plurality of variation patterns shown on the basis of the second special symbol hold count or the variation pattern random number of the second special symbol information.

  The game information output means 61 outputs a plurality of pieces of game information necessary for performing a game effect to the effect control board 33 by a command at a predetermined timing. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (1), every time the first or second special symbol information is acquired, the result of the prior determination performed by the prior determination means 46 when the special symbol information is acquired (determination symbol, variation pattern). 1st or 2nd special symbol reservation number increase command which includes the information is output.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (2), for each change of the first or second special symbol, the result of the determination made by the special symbol information determination means 43 at the start of the change of the special symbol (determination symbol, fluctuation pattern) The first or second special symbol variation start command including the information of) is output, and the special symbol variation stop command is output when the special symbol variation is stopped. Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (3), for each special game, at the start of the special game, an opening command including information on the type of the special game (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) is output, and the end of the special game At the end of the final R, an ending command including game state information set after the end of the special game is output.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the respective means 70 to 74 shown in the figure that are constituted by the computer of the effect control board 33, the image control board 34, and the lamp control board 35 will be described.

  The effect control means 70 comprises a symbol variation effect control means 71, a special game effect control means 72, a hold effect control means 73, and a prefetch effect control means 74. Based on the game information output by the game information output means 61, the effect control means 70 When the symbol is variably displayed and when a special game is being performed, the rendering means 80 (image display 21, first and second movable actors 22, 23, speaker 37, frame lamp 38a, board lamp 38b).

  The special symbol display control means 71 displays the special symbol in a variable manner by the special symbol display control means 44 based on the image (moving image) displayed on the image display 21 and the sound output from the speaker 37 in accordance with the image. The special symbol variation start command received at the start of the variation of the special symbol, that is, based on the determination result by the special symbol information determination unit 43, the variation pattern (variation pattern determination unit) of the special symbol The symbol variation effect corresponding to the variation pattern determined by 43d) is selected from a plurality of symbol variation effects (symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3... N shown in FIG. 13A). .

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the symbol variation effect, basically (1) after the three effect symbol sequences 17a start to vary on the image display 21, first, (2) the left effect symbol 17a-1 "X" stops variably, then (3) "Y" stops variably as the right effect symbol 17a-2, and finally (4) "Z" changes as the center effect symbol 17a-3 The three stop symbol strings “XZY” are confirmed and displayed, and a combination display mode is shown in which the determination results by the big hit determination means 43a and the symbol determination means 43b are displayed.

  Here, in the symbol variation effect control means 71, the effect mode setting means 71 a has a plurality of effect modes (“normal mode” and “time reduction shown in FIG. 15) according to the game state set by the game state control means 60. Any one of “mode”, “latent probability mode”, “probability change mode”, “latency probability suggestion mode”, “probability change suggestion mode”, and “look-ahead mode”), and the symbol variation effect control means 71 is set by the effect mode setting means 71a. The design variation effect is performed in the effect mode. The symbol variation effect in each effect mode is a background image that is the background of the effect symbol displayed on the image display 21 and the display mode of the effect symbol (the effect symbol of the effect symbol) with respect to the symbol variation effect in the other effect modes. The pattern, size, variation mode, etc.) are different.

  The effect mode setting means 71a basically “normal mode” in the “normal gaming state”, “short time mode” in the “short time gaming state”, and “latent probability mode” in the “latent gaming state”. When “probability game state”, “probability change mode” is set. However, depending on the situation, after the special game that becomes “Crash / Big Dash” or “Small Win”, the “Dive” is changed until the number of special symbol fluctuations exceeds the set number (for example, any number of 1 to 60). After setting the “Suggestion Suggestion Mode” and completing the special game with “Crush Prone Hit” or “Crash Hit”, until the number of special symbol changes exceeds the set number of times (for example, 20, 40, or 60) During this period, the “probability change suggestion mode” is set.

  Also, based on the determination result by the pre-determination means 46, for the special symbol information that is the target of the pre-reading effect that has been put on hold, until the special symbol variable display based on the special symbol information that is the target ends. In addition, while the special symbol is variably displayed several times, for example, when the “normal mode”, “latent probability mode” or “latent probability suggestion mode” is set, the first special symbol is several times. While the display is fluctuated over any number of times (1 to 4 times), the “pre-reading effect mode” is set, that is, the symbol changing effect is performed in the “pre-reading effect mode”, and a big hit is made. Can be expected.

  Now, in the symbol variation effect, specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, (1) after the three effect symbol sequences 17a start to vary, (2) the effect symbol “7” on the left side changes and stops ( 3) The effect design “1” on the right side stops variably, and the effect designs “7” and “1” are in a non-reach state, and then (4) the effect design “6” in the center stops variably. The loss stop symbol string “761” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “N lose effects” are performed, and the determination result of “lost” is notified. “N” means normal.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16, (5) the effect design “7” on the right side stops variably, the reach design where these effect designs “7” and “7” are aligned, and the “reach effect” is started. After the “normal reach production” that does not shift to the development production is performed in the “reach production”, (6) the central production design “6” stops variably, and the losing stop symbol sequence that becomes “767” is confirmed and displayed. Since the “NR loss effect” has been performed, the determination result of “lost” is notified. “NR” means normal reach.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, (7) the center effect symbol “7” is variably stopped, the hit stop symbol string “777” is fixedly displayed, and a series of “effects per NR” has been performed. Then, the first big winning opening 14a opens for 16R for a long time "probability big hit" (hereinafter referred to as "16R positive change big hit"), or "probability big hit" for 4R long-term opening (hereinafter "4R positive change big hit"). This determination result is notified.

  Or, as shown in FIG. 16, (5) after the right design symbol “7” stops variably, and the production design “7” and “7” are in a reach state, the “reach production” is started. As shown in FIG. 17, in the “reach effect”, (1) the effect symbols “7” and “7” move to the screen corner side and are displayed in a reduced size, and (2) the “SP reach effect” that is the development effect is performed. Is called. Note that “SP” means a special, and “SP reach production” is basically a production with a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than “normal reach production”.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in “SP reach production”, any one of a plurality of production videos having different jackpot expectations is displayed on the image display 21, and then (3) center is reached by the end of “SP reach production”. The effect symbol “6” of FIG. 6 stops variably, the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP loss effect” is performed. Informed. On the other hand, (4) The effect pattern “7” in the center stops variably, the pattern pattern per stop figure that becomes “777” is fixedly displayed, and a series of “effects per SP” is performed. The determination result of “probable big hit” or “4R probable big hit” is notified.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 17, by the end of the “SP reach effect”, (3) the center effect symbol “6” is variably stopped, and the loss stop symbol string “767” is temporarily stopped ( There is a case in which the state shifts from “a little up and down” to an “emergency door closing effect” or “RUSH effect” described later.

  When the “emergency door closing effect” is performed, (3) the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP⇒special sign loss effect” or “SP⇒special loss effect” As a result, the judgment result “losing” is notified, (5) “7 ★ 7” hit stop symbol string is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP⇒special hit effect” is performed. As a result, the 1st grand prize winning opening 14a will open for 2R for a long time "probability big hit" (hereinafter referred to as "2R probable big hit"), or for 2R short-term "crash and big hit" (hereinafter, "2 R sudden hit big hit"), or 4 R long-term open "hour short hit big hit" (hereinafter referred to as "4 R short hit big hit"), or 2 R short open "small hit" (hereinafter "2 R The determination result is reported as “small hit”.

  When the “RUSH squeezing effect” is performed, the loss stop symbol string “3” “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP (shearing) losing effect” is performed. The determination result of “5” is notified, and the hit stop symbol sequence of “7 * 7” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP (buzz) hit effects” has been performed. The grand prize winning opening 14a opens for 2R short-term "surprise big hit" (hereinafter referred to as "2R sudden hit big hit"), or the second big prize opening 15a opens for 16R long-term, or 10R long-term 6R short-term opening, or 7 The determination result that is “RUSH probable big hit” that is R long-term 9R short-term open or 4R long-term 12R short-term open is notified.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16, (1) after the three sets of effect symbol sequence 17a start to change, (8) the effect symbol “E” on the left side stops and (9) the effect symbol “R” on the right side. Then, (10) the center effect symbol “6” stops variably, the loss stop symbol string “E6R” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “N lose effect effects” has been performed. From the state in which the determination result of “losing” is notified, (10) the center effect symbol “E” is variably stopped, and the special stop symbol string “EMR” is temporarily stopped and displayed, Move to "Emergency button production".

  When the “emergency button effect” is performed, the loss stop symbol string that becomes (10) “E6R” is finalized, and a series of “special loss effect” is performed, resulting in “lost”. The determination result is notified, and as shown in FIG. 17, (5) the hit stop symbol string “7 ★ 7” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “special hit effects” are performed. The judgment result of “2R probable big hit”, “2R sudden hit big hit”, “4R short time big hit” or “2R small hit” is notified.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 17, (2) “SP reach effect” is performed, and then (6) “SP / SP reach effect” which is the development effect is performed. The “SP / SP reach production” is basically a production with a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than the “SP reach production”.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in “SP / SP reach production”, any of a plurality of production videos with different big hit expectation levels is displayed on the image display 21, and then by the end of “SP / SP reach production”, (7) The center effect symbol “6” stops variably, the loss stop symbol string “767” is fixedly displayed, and a series of “SP⇒SP / SP lose effect” is performed. The determination result of “losing” is notified, and (8) the center effect symbol “7” is variably stopped, the hit stop symbol string “777” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP⇒SP / SP effect” ”Is performed, and the determination result of“ 16R probability variation big hit ”or“ 4R probability variation big hit ”is notified.

  In the special game effect control means 72, a special game is performed by the special game execution means 45 based on an image (moving image) displayed on the image display 21 and a sound output from the speaker 37 in accordance with the image. Sometimes, a special game selected from a plurality of special game effects (special game effects 1, 2, 3... N) shown in FIG. 13B based on the opening command received at the start of the special game. Ending effect selected from a plurality of ending effects (ending effects 1, 2, 3... N) shown in FIG. 13 (c) based on the ending command received at the end of the special game effect. To do.

  The holding effect control means 63 is based on the first or second special symbol holding number increase command received at the time of obtaining the special symbol information, and the first or second special symbol variation start command received at the start of variation of the special symbol, When the first special symbol information is stored (held) in the special symbol information storage means 42 on the image display 21, the number of the first special symbol hold and a considerable number of the first reserved symbols are displayed, and the special symbol information is displayed. When the second special symbol information is stored (held) in the storage means 42, the number of the second special symbol hold and the corresponding number of second reserved symbols are displayed, and the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner (the symbol). When the variation effect is performed), the reserved symbol is displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, the first reserved symbol 21b is displayed in the first reserved symbol display area 21ba of the image display 21 so as to correspond to the reserved first special symbol information. The special symbol information is displayed so as to be arranged in the order of digestion, and the second reserved symbol 21c is displayed in the second reserved symbol display area 21ca of the image display 21 so as to correspond to the reserved second special symbol information. The second special symbol information is displayed so as to be arranged in the order of digestion, and the reserved symbol 21d corresponds to the special symbol information digested at the start of the variation display of the special symbol. Are displayed in the reserved symbol display area 21da. FIG. 18 shows a state in which the special symbol is variably displayed, the first special symbol hold number is 3, and the second special symbol hold number is 1.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19 (1), when the first special symbol information is newly acquired and held in a state where the first reserved symbol 21b and the reserved symbol 21d are displayed, FIG. 19 (2). As shown, the first reserved symbol 21b is additionally displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 19 (2), when the change display of the special symbol is finished in the state where the first reserved symbol 21b and the reserved symbol 21d are displayed, as shown in FIG. The reserved symbol 21d is displayed and erased. Next, at the start of the variable display of the first special symbol, as shown in FIG. 19 (4), the first reserved symbol 21b corresponding to the digested first special symbol information is displayed. While being erased, the reserved symbol 21d corresponding to the first reserved symbol 21b is displayed.

  The pre-reading effect control means 74 determines whether or not to perform the pre-reading effect based on the first or second special symbol holding number increase command received when acquiring the special symbol information, that is, the determination result by the prior determination means 46, When it is determined that the pre-reading effect is to be performed, the pre-reading effect that can increase the big hit expectation degree is performed on the special symbol information that is the target of the pre-reading effect before the special symbol information is digested. For example, as described above, the “prefetching effect mode” is set by the symbol variation effect control means 71 over several fluctuations of the special symbol, and the symbol variation effect is performed in the “prefetching effect mode”, or the holding is suspended. The effect control means 73 displays a look-ahead reserved symbol with a design (for example, color, shape) different from the reserved symbol that is displayed when the pre-read effect is not performed, and wins a big hit based on the reserved special symbol information. Make the pre-reading effect to expect the player to become.

  “Reach effect” in the symbol variation effect performed in the “normal game state” (or “latency probability game state”), that is, “normal mode” (or “latency probability mode” or “latency probability suggestion mode”). The effects including “emergency door closing effect” and “emergency button effect” will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 20, regarding “reach effect”, (1) “SP reach effect” is started, then (2) “route branch effect” is performed. (2) In the “route branching effect”, for example, an ally (for example, a character who becomes the main character of this model) and an enemy (for example, a character who becomes a villain of this model) fight, and then the ally is the enemy It suggests whether to shift to “first route production” that is an avoidance route for whether to avoid an attack, or to “second route production” that is a transformation route to determine whether an ally is transformed. Production is performed.

  In “SP reach production”, after (2) “route branch production” is performed, if “first route production” is performed, first, in the “first route production”, (10) shift to avoidance route An “avoidance route transition effect” indicating that the avoidance route has progressed is performed, and then (11) an “avoidance route advancement effect” is performed to inquire whether or not the avoidance route proceeds. "Direction" or (13) "Avoidance effect" is performed. (12) When the “avoidance route end effect” is performed, as shown in FIG. 17 (3), the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP loss effect” is performed. It becomes "losing".

  (13) In the “avoidance production effect”, an effect is given to whether or not the ally avoids an enemy attack, and then (14) an “evasion success production” that can avoid the attack, or (15) an attack. “Evasion failure production” that could not be avoided is performed. (14) When the “avoidance success effect” is performed, after that, for example, as shown in FIG. 17 (4), the hit stop symbol string “777” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP effect” is performed. As a result, it becomes “4R probability change big hit” or “16R probability change big hit”, and after that big hit, it becomes “probability change mode” (“probability change gaming state”). (15) When the “avoidance failure effect” is performed, then (16) “transformation effect” is performed, or (17) “returns to the normal screen” (in a state where a plurality of effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed. (Return to the original state (size)) or (18) “RUSH effect” is performed. (12) After the “evasion route end effect” is performed, (16) “transformation effect” is performed, or (17) “returns to the normal screen”, or (18) “RUSH resurrection effect” May be performed.

  (16) In the “transformation effect”, the first movable accessory 22 is actuated to transform the ally, and then (19) “first SP / SP reach effect” (battle) where the transformed ally and the enemy fight. When the team loses, the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 17 (7), and a series of “SP⇒SP / SP loss production” is performed. If it becomes a “losing” and the ally wins, the winning symbol sequence “777” will be confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 17 (8), and a series of “SP⇒SP / SP” will be displayed. The “winning effect” is performed, so that “4R probability change big hit” or “16R probability change big hit” is set, and after that big hit, “probability change mode” (“probability change game state”) is set.

  (17) When “return to the normal screen” is displayed, next, as shown in FIG. 17 (3), the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP loss effect” is performed. The “emergency door closing effect” (“special warning effect” shown in FIG. 21) is performed from the state where the loss stop symbol string “767” is temporarily stopped and displayed. Is called.

  (18) In the “RUSH strike effect”, an effect is given that asks whether “RUSH probable big hit” or “2R sudden hit big hit” is made, and then (20) “RUSH failure effect” is performed. As shown in FIG. 17 (7), the loss stop symbol sequence that becomes “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP loss production” is performed, resulting in “lost”, or (21) When the first movable accessory 22 is actuated and “RUSH success production” is performed, as shown in FIG. 17 (5), the winning stop symbol string “7 ★ 7” is fixedly displayed, and a series of “SP” When the “winning effect” is performed, “RUSH probable big hit” or “2R sudden hit big hit” is set, and after that big hit, “probable change mode” (“probable change game state”) is set.

  On the other hand, in “SP reach production”, (2) “route branch production” is performed, and then “second route production” is performed. In the “second route production”, first, (30) transformation route “Transformation route transition effect” indicating that the process has been performed is performed, and then (31) “Transformation effect effect” is performed to inquire whether or not the ally is transformed, and then (32) the first movable accessory “Transformation success production” that can be transformed by the operation of 22 or (33) “Transformation failure production” that cannot be transformed is performed.

  (32) When the “transformation success production” is performed, after that, (34) “second SP / SP reach production” (battle production) in which the transformed ally and the enemy fight is performed. As shown in (7), the loss stop symbol sequence that becomes “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP⇒SP / SP loss production” is performed. When winning, as shown in FIG. 17 (8), the winning stop symbol string “777” is fixedly displayed, and a series of “SP⇒SP / SP effect” is performed. “Probability variation big hit” or “16R probability variation big hit”, and after that big hit, it becomes “probability variation mode” (“probability variation gaming state”).

  (33) When “transformation failure production” is performed, (35) “return to normal screen” (returns to the original state (size) in a state where a plurality of production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed), or ( 36) “RUSH Talking Direction” is performed. (35) When “return to normal screen” is displayed, next, as shown in FIG. 17 (3), the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP loss effect” is performed. The “emergency door closing effect” (“special warning effect” shown in FIG. 21) is performed from the state where the loss stop symbol string “767” is temporarily stopped and displayed. Is called.

  (36) In the “RUSH strike effect”, an effect is given to determine whether or not “RUSH probable big hit” or “2R sudden hit big hit” will be made, and then (37) “RUSH failure effect” is performed. As shown in FIG. 17 (7), the loss stop symbol string that becomes “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “SP loss production” is performed, resulting in “lost”, or (38) When the first movable accessory 22 is actuated and “RUSH success production” is performed, as shown in FIG. 17 (5), the winning stop symbol string “7 ★ 7” is fixedly displayed, and a series of “SP” When the “winning effect” is performed, “RUSH probable big hit” or “2R sudden hit big hit” is set, and after that big hit, “probable change mode” (“probable change game state”) is set.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21, “SP reach effect” (“15 route avoidance effect” or “second route effect” (33) “transformation failure effect” shown in FIG. 20. )) When the process proceeds to “special warning effect” later, (1) “emergency door closing effect” is first performed in the “special warning effect”. (1) In the “emergency door closing effect”, an effect is given on whether or not the emergency door is closed on the display of the image display 21, and then (2) the “emergency door is not closed” “Closed failure effect” or (3) “Emergency door closing success effect” in which the emergency door is closed is performed.

  (1) “Emergency door closing effect” is performed, and (2) “Emergency door closing failure effect” is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. Is displayed, and a series of “SP⇒Special Sign Loss Production” is performed, resulting in “Lose”. (3) When “Emergency Door Closing Success Production” is performed, "Emergency button effect" ("special effect" shown in FIG. 22) is performed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 22, from the state where the special stop symbol sequence that becomes “EMR” is temporarily displayed as shown in FIG. 16 (10), or “SP reach effect” shown in FIG. After the “emergency door closing success effect” of 21 (3), the process proceeds to “special effect”. In the “special effect”, first, (1) “emergency door button effect” is performed. (1) In the “emergency door button effect”, an operation effective period is set, and in the operation effective period, an effect button that prompts the player to operate with the closed emergency door on the image display 21 and the operation effective period. A gauge showing the progress of is displayed.

  (1) “Emergency button effect” is performed, (2) When the effect button SW7 is pressed within the operation effective period, or (3) When the effective period elapses without the effect button SW7 being pressed, (4 ) "Emergency door not opened effect" where the emergency door was not opened, or (5) "Emergency door opening effect" where the emergency door was opened.

  (4) When the “emergency door non-opening effect” is performed, then, as shown in FIG. 16 (10), the loss stop symbol string that becomes “E6R” is fixedly displayed, or as shown in FIG. 17 (3). In addition, the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “special loss effect” or “SP⇒special loss effect” is performed, resulting in “loss”.

  (5) When the “emergency door opening effect” is performed, next, (6) “emergency effect branching effect” is performed, and then (7) “highly suggestive effect mode introduction effect” or (13) The second movable accessory 23 is actuated to perform the “time and short hit introduction effect”. (13) When the “short and large bonus introduction effect” is performed, then, as shown in FIG. 17 (5), a hit stop symbol string “7 * 7” is confirmed and displayed, and a series of “special hit effects” or “SP⇒Special hit effect” is performed, so it becomes “4 R short-time big hit”, and after that big hit, it becomes “short-time mode” (“short-time gaming state”).

  (7) When “highly suggestive effect mode introduction effect” is performed, next, (8) “introduction effect branch button effect” is performed, where an operation effective period is set and the operation effective period , An effect button that prompts the player to perform an operation and a gauge that indicates the passage of the operation valid period are displayed on the image display 21.

  (8) “Introducing effect branch button effect” is performed, (9) When the effect button SW7 is pressed within the operation effective period, or (10) When the effective period elapses without the effect button SW7 being pressed, (11) “Latent probability suggestion mode introduction effect” or (12) “First probability change mode introduction effect” is performed by operating the first movable accessory 22.

  (11) When the “latency suggestion mode introduction effect” is performed, then, as shown in FIG. 17 (5), a hit stop symbol string “7 * 7” is fixedly displayed, and a series of “special hit effects” ”Or“ SP⇒Special hit effect ”, it becomes“ 2 R small hit ”or“ 2 R sudden hit big hit ”, and after that small hit or big hit,“ latency probability suggestion mode ”(“ (12) When the “probability change mode introduction effect” is performed, after that, as shown in FIG. 17 (5), the hit stop pattern becomes “7 * 7”. The column is fixedly displayed, and a series of “special hit effect” or “SP⇒special hit effect” has been performed, resulting in “2R probability change big hit”. After that big hit, “probability change mode” (“ Probable gaming state ").

  FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 show the effects (symbol fluctuation effects) that the symbol fluctuation effect control means 71 performs based on the determination result by the special symbol information determination means 43 and the ratio thereof.

  As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, <via first route effect> means an effect in which the “first route effect” shown in FIG. 20 is performed, and <via second route effect> is shown in FIG. "The second route effect" means an effect in which "second route effect" is performed, and "no first and second route effects" means that neither "first route effect" nor "second route effect" shown in FIG. 20 is performed. Meaning effects, and the effects shown in the figure are as described above with reference to FIGS. 16, 17, and 20 to 22.

  Supplementary explanation will be given on “SP⇒special hit effect” and “special hit effect” shown in FIG. 23. In the “special effect” shown in FIG. When the “Probability mode introduction effect” is performed, and “2R sudden hit big hit” or “2R small hit” comes, (11) “Latent probability suggestion mode introduction effect” is finally given, and “4R In the case of “short and big hit”, finally (13) “short and big hit introduction effect” is performed.

  To supplement the “SP⇒special sign loss effect” shown in FIG. 24, (2) “emergency door closing failure effect” is finally performed in the “special sign effect” shown in FIG. To supplementarily explain “SP⇒special lose effect” and “special lose effect”, (4) “emergency door non-open effect” is finally performed in the “special effect” shown in FIG.

  Here, the “latent probability gaming state” and the “probability changing gaming state” correspond to the specific gaming state, and the gaming state control means 60 has a specific gaming state (“probability varying gaming state” advantageous to the player after the special game is performed. Or “latent gaming state”).

  Further, the effects after reaching the reach state shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 (FIG. 16 (5)); “reach effects” such as “SP reach effect” and “SP / SP reach effect” shown in FIG. 20 are special effects. The “special effects” shown in FIG. 22 correspond to the first and second special effects, and the effects shown in FIGS. 22 (7) to (12) respectively correspond to the specific effects.

  Then, the symbol variation production control means 71 performs a special production (“reach production”) indicating that there is a high possibility that a special game will be performed, and does not perform a special production (“reach production”) ( There is a high possibility that the game will be controlled in a specific game state ("probability change game state" or "latent probability game state") from the state where the special stop symbol string of "EMR" in FIG. The special effect ("reach effect" in FIG. 22) from the first special effect (<passing through the first and second route effects>) may be performed. After a loss effect that suggests that the game is not performed (the loss stop symbol string is displayed temporarily after FIG. 20 (17) or (35)), the specific game state (“probability change game state” or “latent probability game”) State ”) is likely to control the game It is made possible to perform the second special effect shown ( "special effect" of <first root effect via> or 22 from <second root effect via>).

  In addition, the symbol variation effect control means 71 performs the first special effect ("special effect" in FIG. 22 from <no first and second route effects>) and the second special effect (<via first route effect>) or In the “special effect” in FIG. 22 from <via the second route effect>), a specific effect (FIG. 22) suggesting that the game is controlled in a specific game state (“probability game state” or “latent game state”). 22 (7) to (13)) can be performed. In the present embodiment, the first and second special effects are the same effects (FIGS. 22 (1) to (13)), but may be effects different from each other.

  Then, the gaming state control means 60 uses the first special effect (<special effect> of FIG. 22 from the first and second route effects non-via>) or the second special effect (<via the first route effect>) or < When the specific effect (FIGS. 22 (7) to (12)) is performed in the “special effect” in FIG. 22 from the second route effect>, the first special effect (<the first and second route effects non-existent). 22 “special effect” from FIG. 22) or the second special effect (<via the first route effect> or “special effect” in FIG. 22 from the second route effect>) in FIG. 7) to (12)) is not performed (the “time and big hit introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (13) is performed) with a higher probability than the specific gaming state (“probability changing gaming state” or “latency probability”). The game is controlled by “game state”).

  In addition, “SP⇒Special hit effect (second special effect)” and “Special” when “2R probable big hit”, “2R sudden hit big hit”, “4R short-range big hit”, and “2R small hit” shown in FIG. From the ratio at which the “winning effect (first special effect)” is performed, the first special effect (“special effect” in FIG. 22 from “without passing the first and second route effects”) and the second special effect (<first The probability that a specific effect (FIGS. 22 (7) to (12)) is performed differs from “via route effect” or “via route effect” via “special effect” in FIG.

  Specifically, the specific effects (FIGS. 22 (7) to (12)) in the second special effect ("special effect" in FIG. 22 from <via first route effect> or <via second route effect>). The probability of being performed is based on the probability that a specific effect (FIGS. 22 (7) to (12)) is performed in the first special effect (<Special Effect> in FIG. 22 from <1st and 2nd route effect non-via>). Also gets higher. However, the former probability may be lower than the latter probability.

  In addition, “16R probable big hit” and “4R probable big hit” that can acquire more than 4R game balls (about 500) are equivalent to the first special game, and “2R game balls worth 4R” cannot be acquired. "Probable big hit", "2R sudden hit big hit", "2R small hit big hit" corresponds to the second special game, "4R short time big hit" that can acquire 4R game balls is equivalent to the third special game .

  Then, the special game executing means 45 did not perform the lost effect in the special effect (“reach effect”) (the winning stop symbol string was confirmed and displayed after FIG. 20 (14), (19) or (34)). When the first special game ("16R probability variation big hit" or "4R probability variation big hit") can be performed, the first special effect (not via the first and second route effects) of FIG. “Special effects”) or second special effects (<via special route effect> in FIG. 22 from <via first route effect> or <via second route effect>)) specific effects (FIGS. 22 (7) to (12)) The second special game ("2R probability change big hit" or "2R sudden change big hit" that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first special game ("16R probability change big hit" "4R probability change big hit") Or “2 R small hits”).

  Further, the special game executing means 45 performs the first special effect (<special effect> in FIG. 22 from <the first and second route effects non-via>) or the second special effect (<via the first route effect>) or < In the “special effect” of FIG. 22 from the second route effect>, the specific effect (FIGS. 22 (7) to (12)) has not been performed (the “time and jackpot introduction effect” of FIG. 22 (13) is performed. 3rd special game ("4R short-time big hit") that is more advantageous to the player than the second special game ("2R probable big hit", "2R sudden hit big hit", "2R small hit big hit") ), And the gaming state control means 60 performs the specific gaming state (“probability changing gaming state” “latent probability gaming state” after the third special game (“4 R time short hits”) is performed. ) Do not control the game. Note that the third special game may be a special game having the same advantage as the second special game, or a special game that is more disadvantageous than the second special game.

  Next, the “latent probability gaming state” corresponds to the first gaming state, the “probability changing gaming state” corresponds to the second gaming state, the “normal gaming state” corresponds to the third gaming state, and the gaming state control means 60 is a second game state that is more advantageous to the player than the first game state (“latency game state”) or the first game state (“latency game state”) that is advantageous to the player after the special game is performed. The game can be controlled in the game state (“probability game state”).

  In the symbol variation effect control means 71, the reach effect control means 71b corresponds to a first effect control means for performing a special effect ("reach effect") indicating that the possibility that a special game is likely to be performed. The effect control means 71c is an effect different from the special effect (“reach effect”), and the game is controlled in the first game state (“latency game state”) or the second game state (“probability game state”). This corresponds to second effect control means for performing a “special effect” (FIG. 22) indicating that the possibility of being performed is high.

  Then, the special effect control means 71c (second effect control means) indicates that the game is controlled in the second game state (“probability game state”) in the “special effect” (FIG. 22). (“Probability change mode introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (12)) can be performed, and the gaming state control means 60 performs the first effect (“12” in FIG. 22 (12)) in the “special effect” (FIG. 22). When the “probability change mode introduction effect”) is performed, the game can be controlled in the second game state (“probability change game state”), and in the “special effect” (FIG. 22), the first effect (FIG. 22 (12)). When the “probability change mode introduction effect”) is not performed (the “latency probability suggestion mode introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (11) is performed), the game is controlled in the first game state (“latency probability game state”). Is possible.

  It is suggested that the gaming state control means 60 is after a special game ("reach effect") (FIG. 20 (14) or (19) or (21) or (34) or (38)). The game can be controlled in the second gaming state (“probability changing gaming state”) when the stop symbol sequence is confirmed and displayed.

  The gaming state control means 60 can control the game in a third gaming state (“normal gaming state”) that is more disadvantageous to the player than the first gaming state (“latent gaming state”), and special effect control means 71c. The (second effect control means) does not perform the first effect (“probability change mode introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (12)) and the first game state (“latent probability game state”) and the third game state (( It is possible to perform a second effect (“latency suggestion mode introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (11)) suggesting that the game is controlled in any of the “normal game state”).

  The special effect control means 71c (second effect control means) displays the “special effect” (FIG. 22) after the special stop symbol sequence of “EMR” in FIG. 16 (11) is temporarily stopped. ) And the first timing (after the special stop symbol string “EMR” in FIG. 16 (11) is temporarily stopped) and the second timing (“reach effect”) shown in FIG. There are times when it is performed after the temporary stop display of the loss stop symbol sequence of 3).

  Then, from the ratio of “SP⇒special hit effect” and “special hit effect” when “2R sudden hit big hit” and “2 R small hit” shown in FIG. ) After the “EMR” special stop symbol sequence is temporarily displayed, the “Special effect” (FIG. 22) and the second timing (“Reach effect”) are shown in FIG. The probability of the second effect (“latency suggestion mode introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (11)) is different from the “special effect” (FIG. 22) performed after the column is temporarily displayed. .

  Specifically, when the “special effect” (FIG. 22) is performed at the second timing (after the loss stop symbol sequence of FIG. 17 (3) is temporarily stopped in the “reach effect”), the second is performed. The probability that an effect (“latency suggestion mode introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (11)) is performed is the first timing (after the special stop symbol string “EMR” in FIG. 16 (11) is temporarily stopped). When the “special effect” (FIG. 22) is performed, the probability is higher than the probability that the second effect (“latency suggestion mode introduction effect” in FIG. 22 (11)) is performed. However, the former probability may be lower than the latter probability.

  20 (13) corresponds to the first special effect, and the “second SP / SP reach effect” in FIG. 20 (34) corresponds to the second special effect. ) “First SP / SP reach effect” corresponds to the third special effect, and “route branch effect” in FIG. 20B corresponds to the preceding effect.

  Then, from the effect ratios shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the symbol variation effect control means 71 is an effect that suggests whether or not a special game is to be performed, and there is a possibility that the special game is normally performed (“reach effect”). "First route effect" that can cause the first special effect (Fig. 20 (13) "Avoidance effect") to be performed, and whether or not the special game is performed The second special effect (FIG. 20 (34) “No. 1”), which indicates that the possibility that the special game is performed is higher than the first special effect (FIG. 20 (13) “evasion effect”). "2SP / SP reach production") can be performed, and "second route production" can be performed.

  Furthermore, from the effect ratios shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the symbol variation effect control means 71 is an effect suggesting whether or not a special game is to be performed in the “first route effect”, and the special game can be performed. A third special effect (FIG. 20 (19) “first SP / SP reach effect”) indicating that the performance is higher than the second special effect (FIG. 20 (34) “second SP / SP reach effect”). Is possible.

  Specifically, in the “first route effect”, after a first special effect (FIG. 20 (13) “avoidance effect”) is performed, a hit effect (FIG. 20 (14)) suggesting that a special game is performed. ) “Evasion success production”) (FIG. 20 (15) “Evasion failure production” is performed), the third special production (FIG. 20 (19) “first SP / SP reach production”)) Makes it possible to However, in the “first route effect”, when the first special effect (FIG. 20 (13) “avoidance effect”) is not performed, the third special effect (FIG. 20 (19) “first SP / SP reach”). It may be possible to cause “production”).

  23 and FIG. 24, the second route effect is more probable than the probability that the first special effect (FIG. 20 (13) “avoidance effect”) is performed in the “first route effect”. There is a higher probability that two special effects (FIG. 20 (34) “second SP / SP reach effect”) will be performed, and the third special effects (FIG. 20 (19) “first SP • The probability that the first special effect (FIG. 20 (13) “avoidance effect”) is performed in the “first route effect” is higher than the probability that the “SP reach effect” is performed.

  Note that the third special effect (FIG. 20 (19)) is more effective than the probability that the second special effect (FIG. 20 (34) “second SP / SP reach effect”) is performed in the “second route effect”. ) The probability that “first SP / SP reach production”) is performed is lower.

  In the “first route effect”, the probability that the first special effect (FIG. 20 (13) “avoidance effect”) is performed and a special game is performed (FIG. 20 (14) “avoidance success effect” is performed) is a probability. The second special effect (FIG. 20 (34) “second SP / SP reach effect”) is more likely to be performed in the “second route effect”, and the third special effect in the “first route effect”. (FIG. 20 (19) “First SP / SP Reach Production”) The first special production (FIG. 20 (13) “Avoidance Production”) is performed in the “first route production” rather than the probability of performing the special game. May be made higher (FIG. 20 (14) “Avoidance Successful Production” is performed).

  Further, the symbol variation effect control means 71 does not cause the third special effect (FIG. 20 (19) “first SP / SP reach effect”) in the “second route effect”.

  Further, the symbol effect control means 71 suggests that either the “first route effect” or the “second route effect” is performed before the “first route effect” or the “second route effect” is performed. The first stage effect (FIG. 20 (2) “Route branch effect”) can be performed. From the effect ratios shown in FIGS. After being performed, the probability that the “first route effect” is performed is higher than the probability that the “second route effect” is performed.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
The player operates the launch handle 8 to fire the game ball so that the game ball falls on the left side of the center object 20 when the “normal game state” or the “latent game state” is set. The game is played by so-called “left strike”, and when the “short-time game state” or “probability game state” is set, or when a special game is being performed, the game ball falls on the right side of the center accessory 20. Thus, a game is played by so-called “right-handed” in which a game ball is fired.

  “Left-handed” can aim at the first and second starting ports 11 and 12a and the left gate 13; “Right-handed” can target the second starting port 12a, the right gate 13 and the first and second grand prize winning ports. 14a and 15a can be aimed at.

  When the first special symbol hold number is less than 4, when the game ball wins the first starting port 11, the first special symbol information is acquired and stored in the special symbol information storage means 42, and the first special symbol hold number is obtained. Is increased by 1 and when the number of the second special symbol figure hold is less than 4, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12a, the second special symbol information is acquired and stored in the special symbol information storage means 42, When the second special symbol hold count increases by 1 and the normal symbol hold count is less than 4, when the game ball passes the gate 13, the normal symbol information is acquired and stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52, and the normal symbol is stored. The number of holds increases by one.

  First, the normal symbol information stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 is sequentially digested (deleted from the normal symbol information storage means 52) every time the normal symbol starts to change, and the number of normal symbol reservations is reduced by one. A lottery will be held. Then, after the normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display 25c, the determination symbol indicating the result of the auxiliary game lottery is stopped and displayed. When winning in the auxiliary game lottery, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed in the second start. An auxiliary game in which the mouth 12a is opened occurs.

  In the “normal game state” or the “latent game state”, even if “right-handed” is performed, almost no winning of a game ball to the first start port 11 can be expected, and the low operation mode is set as the second start port operation mode. Because it is set and almost no winning of a game ball to the second starting port 12a can be expected, the game is performed by reducing the number of owned game balls by “left-handed”, and in the “short-time game state” or “probability game state” Since the high operation mode is set as the second start port operation mode and “right-handed” is performed, a relatively large number of game balls can be expected to win the second start-up port 12a. A game can be played with the number of balls substantially maintained.

  Next, the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is sequentially digested (erased from the special symbol information storage means 42) every time the change of the special symbol starts, and at that time, a plurality of special symbol information is stored in the special symbol information storage means 42. If the special symbol information is stored, the plurality of special symbol information is erased in the order of acquisition (stored), and if both the first and second special symbol information are held The second special symbol information is digested in preference to the first special symbol information, one of the first and second special symbol holding numbers is reduced by 1, and a special game lottery is performed.

  Then, after the special symbol is variably displayed on one of the first and second special symbol indicators 19a and 19bc, the determination symbol indicating the result of the special game lottery is stopped and displayed. The big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a symbol, and a big hit game is generated in which one of the first and second big prize winning openings 14a and 15a is opened, or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a judgment symbol and the first big prize is won A small hit game in which the mouth 14a is opened occurs.

  In the jackpot game, depending on the type of jackpot symbol that fluctuated at the start of the jackpot game, the first big prize opening 14a is opened in any of 16R long-term opening, 4R long-term opening, 2R long-term opening, 2R short-term opening Alternatively, the second big prize opening 15a is opened in any of 16R long-term opening, 10R long-term 6R short-term opening, 7R long-term 9R short-term opening, 4R long-term 12R short-term opening, The big prize opening 14a is opened with 2R short-term opening.

  In the special game where the first big winning opening 14a is opened by “right-handed”, for example, about 2000 game balls can be acquired in the 16R long-term release, and for example, about 500 game balls can be acquired in the 4R long-term release. In 2R long-term release, for example, about 250 game balls can be acquired, and in 2R short-term release, game balls cannot be substantially acquired. In addition, in the special game opened by the second grand prize opening 15a, for example, about 2000 game balls can be obtained in the 16R long-term release, and for example, about 1250 game balls can be obtained in the 10R long-term 6R short-term release. In the 7R long-term 9R short-term release, for example, about 875 game balls can be acquired, and in the 4R long-term 12R short-term release, for example, about 500 game balls can be acquired.

  In addition, as the gaming state after the end of the big hit game, one of “normal gaming state”, “short-time gaming state”, “latent probability gaming state”, “probability changing gaming state”, depending on the type of the big hit symbol that has been variably stopped at the start of the big hit game Is set, and the game state set before the start of the small hit game is set as the game state after the end of the small hit game.

  In the game effect, the image (moving image) displayed on the image display 21, the sound output from the speaker 37 in accordance with the image, and the first and second movable accessories 22, 23, and the lamps 38, 38b. When a special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, a symbol variation effect that suggests the result of the special game lottery is performed, and when a special game is performed, a special game effect that excites the special game is performed. Sexuality and game entertainment are enhanced.

  In particular, in the “normal game state” (or “latent probability game state”), as a result of the special game lottery based on the first special symbol information, the effect system (effect control) for performing the symbol variation effect is innovative as described above. As a result, since the following specific operational effects are exhibited, the production effects and the game playability are further enhanced.

  The player, of course, wins a special game lottery, a special game is played, a jackpot game that is more advantageous (a large number of game balls are acquired) in that special game, and after the special game ends, The game is played in the hope that it will be in a more advantageous game state (“probability game state”), but the symbol changes in the process until the result of the special game lottery is derived (the special symbol starts to change and then stops) It is possible to play a game with the expectation while enjoying the production.

  That is, the player expects to reach a reach state when a plurality of effect symbols start to change in the symbol change effect (special symbols start to change). “SP Reach Production”, “SP / SP Reach Production”, which has a higher expectation of hitting than “SP Reach Production”, and “SP Reach Production” or “SP / SP Reach Production” You can play games in the hope that you will win a big hit.

  As shown in FIG. 20, when (1) “SP reach effect” is started, (2) “route branch effect” is performed in “SP reach effect”, and then “first route effect” One of the “second route effects” is performed, but the probability that the “first route effect” is performed is higher than the probability that the “second route effects” are performed, and the “second route effect” is performed. In this case, the big hit expectation is higher than when the “first route effect” is performed.

  Therefore, when the player performs (2) “Route branch effect”, (10) Rather than (10) “Escape route transition effect” being performed and becoming “First route effect” (20) It is expected that the “transformation route transition effect” will be performed and become the “second route effect”, but even if the “first route effect” is performed, the big hit expectation is not significantly reduced.

  In the “first route effect”, after (10) “avoidance route transition effect” is performed, (11) “avoidance route progress effect” is performed, and (12) “avoidance route end effect” ( 13) Any one of “Avoidance Production” is performed, and (13) “Avoidance Production” is performed, either (14) “Avoidance Success Production” or (15) “Avoidance Failure Production” is performed. , (14) When the “avoidance success effect” is performed, the player becomes “4R probability change big hit” or “16R probability change big hit”, so the player (13) “avoidance strike effect” → (14) “avoidance success effect” ”Is expected to be performed, but not so much can be expected from the performance ratios shown in FIGS. 23 and 24.

  On the other hand, in the “second route production”, after (30) “transformation route transition production” is performed, (31) “transformation production production” is performed, and then (32) “transformation success production” and (33 ) When either “transformation failure production” is performed, and (32) “transformation success production” is performed, (13) “4R probability change big hit” or “ Expected to be “16R-probable big hit” (34) Because “2nd SP / SP reach production” is performed, the player (32) “Transform success production” → (34) “2nd SP / SP reach production” And (34) When “2nd SP / SP Reach Production” is performed, it is expected that the battle will be won and become “4R Probability Big Hit” or “16R Probability Big Hit”. .

  By the way, in the “first route effect”, after (13) “avoidance failure effect” is performed, (15) “avoidance failure effect” is performed (or (11) “avoidance route progress effect”). (12) “Evasion route end effect” is performed), and (31) “Transformation effect” is performed in “Second route effect” (33) “Transform” Even if “failed production” is performed, it is not always “lost”, but it may still be “hit”.

  In particular, in the “first route effect”, after (15) “avoidance failure effect” (or (12) “avoidance route end effect”) is performed, (16) “transformation effect” → (19) “first” The possibility of shifting to “1SP / SP reach production” remains relatively low. When (16) “Transformation production” is performed, (34) “4R probability variation big hit” or “16R probability variation big hit” is expected more than when “2nd SP / SP reach production” is performed. Since the high (19) “first SP / SP reach production” is performed, the player expects (16) “transformation production” → (19) “first SP / SP reach production”, and (19) When the “1st SP / SP Reach Production” is performed, it is expected that the battle will be won and become “4R Probability Big Hit” or “16R Probability Big Win”.

  In the “first route effect”, when (15) “avoidance failure effect” (or (12) “avoidance route end effect”) is performed, and in the “second route effect”, (33) “ When the “transformation failure effect” is performed, (17) (35) “return to the normal screen” and then the “special sign effect” shown in FIG. 21 may be performed. 22 is performed, and the “special effect” shown in FIG. 22 is performed, and either “2R probability variable big hit”, “2R sudden hit big hit” or “4R short time big hit” (“2R small hit”). Can be expected to become.

  Furthermore, in the “first route effect”, when (15) “avoidance failure effect” (or (12) “avoidance route end effect”) is performed, and in the “second route effect”, (33) “ When the “transformation failure production” is performed, (18) (36) “RUSH production” may be performed. (18) (36) When “RUSH production” is performed, (20) ( 37) When either “RUSH failure production” or (21) (38) “RUSH success production” is performed, and (21) (38) “RUSH success production” is performed, “RUSH probable big hit” or “2” The player expects that (21) (38) “RUSH success production” will be performed in order to become “R big hit”.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the “special sign effect” after the “first route effect” or the “second route effect” ((17) (35) “return to the normal screen”) in FIG. After the “door closing turn production” is performed, either (2) “emergency door closing failure production” or (3) “emergency door closing success production” is performed, and (3) “emergency door closing success production” is performed. When done, the process shifts to the “special effect” ((1) “emergency door button effect”) shown in FIG. 22, and “2R probable big hit”, “2R sudden hit big hit”, “4R short time big hit” (“2 The player expects that (3) “Emergency door closing success production” will be performed.

  Here, even if a plurality of effect symbols are not in the reach state (that is, even if the “reach effect” is not performed), if the temporary stop display is performed in the special stop symbol row of “EMR”, “ In order to shift to “special performance”, the player may expect to be one of “2R probable big hit”, “2R sudden hit big hit”, “4R short time big hit” (“2R small hit”). it can.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the “special effect”, first, (1) “emergency button effect” is performed. Here, (2) (3) an effect using the effect button SW7 is performed. However, when the effect button SW7 is pressed within the operation effective period (or after the operation effective period elapses when the effect button SW7 is not pressed), (4) “emergency door non-opening effect” and (5) “ If any of the “emergency door opening effect” is performed, and (4) “emergency door non-opening effect” is performed, it is “lost”, while (5) “emergency door opening effect” is performed, “2 Since it is determined that it will be one of R-probable big hit, “2 R sudden hit big hit”, “4 R short-time big hit”, or “2 R small hit big”, the player will perform (5) “Emergency door closing success production” I hope that

  Furthermore, when (5) “emergency door opening effect” is performed, (6) “emergency door branching effect” is performed, and then (7) “highly suggestive effect mode introduction effect” and (13) “time and emergency hit. When either “Introduction effect” is performed and (7) “Highly suggestive effect mode introduction effect” is performed, either “2R probable big hit”, “2R sudden hit big hit”, or “2R small hit” When (13) “Time and bonus hit introduction effect” is performed, it will be decided that “4 R hour and jackpot hit” will become (thick), so in general, However, there is a possibility that it will become “big hit” and then become “probable game state” or “latent game state”. (7) “Highly suggestive effect mode introduction effect” expect.

  Further, when (7) “Highly suggestive effect mode introduction effect” is performed, (8) “Introduction effect branch button effect” is performed. Here, (9) (10) Effect using effect button SW7 is performed. Since the performance is improved, the performance button SW7 is pressed within the operation effective period (or after the operation effective period elapses when the operation button SW7 is not pressed), (11) “Introduction of latent probability suggestion mode” When either “Direction” or (12) “Probability mode introduction effect” is performed, and (11) “Latent probability suggestion mode introduction effect” is performed, any of “2R sudden hit big hit” and “2R small hit” If (12) “Probability change mode introduction effect” is performed, it will be determined that “2R probability change big hit” will be made, so the player will have (5) “2R probability change big hit”. After that, it becomes “Probability Game State” (12) “Probability Mode” To expect that the introduction of performance "is performed.

  However, even if (11) “latent probability suggestion mode introduction effect” is performed, there is a possibility that “2R sudden hit big hit” is performed and then “latent probability gaming state” is entered. Then, (11) “latency probability suggestion mode introduction effect” is performed, and when “2R sudden hit big hit” or “2R small hit” is done, then “latent probability gaming state” “normal gaming state” However, for the production, the “latency suggestion mode” is set, and the player has made either “2R sudden hit big hit” or “2R small hit big”, that is, “latent It is possible to expect the possibility of being in the “latent game state” by not knowing for a while whether the game state is “probable game state” or “normal game state”.

  The “special effect” shown in FIG. 22 is an effect indicating that there is a high possibility of becoming a “probability game state” or a “latent game state”, but the “special effect” is performed via the “reach effect”. If the probability of becoming a “probable gaming state” or “latent certain gaming state” is not passed through the “reach production”, the “probable gaming state” or “latent certain gaming state” ”Is higher than the probability that the“ reach effect ”is not performed when the“ reach effect ”is performed before the“ special effect ”is performed. It can be expected to enter a “probability gaming state” and a “latent gaming state”.

  In this way, when in the “normal gaming state” (“latent probability gaming state”), the production system (production control) for performing the symbol variation production becomes a novel one that exhibits a specific effect. In addition, it becomes possible to further enhance the playability.

  In addition, various configurations other than the above disclosure can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
