Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that executes various effects representing the degree of expectation.

  Conventionally, gaming machines installed in amusement halls perform various effects in order to increase the player's willingness to play. For example, an effect of notifying a lottery result by performing symbol variation on a display unit such as a liquid crystal display device has become common. In a game of a gaming machine that executes such an effect, when the lottery result is a win, a big hit state that is a special gaming state advantageous to the player occurs. In addition, as described in Patent Document 1 below, a gaming machine that simultaneously executes a plurality of symbol variations has also been proposed.

JP 2005-230272 A

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, only symbol variation is performed independently, and it is not possible to synergistically increase the degree of attention of symbol variation by performing a plurality of symbol variations. In other words, the configuration for executing a plurality of symbol variations simultaneously cannot be fully utilized, and there is still room for improvement.

  The present invention is an invention that aims to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing a player's attention to symbol variation.

The present invention provides a game result determining means for determining a game result when a predetermined condition is satisfied,
The game result corresponds to a first game result corresponding to giving a privilege to the player, or a second game result having a higher privilege to be given to the player than when the first game result is obtained. Privilege granting means for granting a privilege to the player in the case,
First display means for displaying a symbol variation for notifying whether or not the game result is the first game result;
A second display unit that is provided differently from the first display unit and that displays a symbol variation for notifying whether or not the game result is the second game result;
Each of the first display means and the second display means executes the symbol variation when the game result determination means determines the game result;
The second display means determines the notification corresponding to the game result after the first display means determines the notification corresponding to the game result determined by the game result determination means. (Claim 1).

  In the gaming machine of the present invention, after the display of the game result is confirmed by the first display means, the game result is confirmed and displayed by the second display means. Therefore, regardless of the game result that is definitely displayed by the first display means, it is possible to maintain the player's degree of attention with respect to the symbol variation of the second display means. In this gaming machine, it is possible to notify the game result a plurality of times with respect to one game result, thereby increasing the player's attention to the symbol variation.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to increase the player's degree of attention with respect to symbol variations.

  As the gaming machine of the present invention, there are a pachinko gaming machine that is played by using (launching) a ball as a gaming medium, a slot machine that generates a prize when a predetermined winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and the like. As a pachinko gaming machine, it may be a type that pays out balls according to winnings, and is a so-called enclosed pachinko gaming machine in which balls are fired using points and points are awarded according to winnings. Also good. The slot machine may be of a type that is played using game media such as medals and coins, but it is possible to play using points (betting) without using game media, and points when winning a prize. May be a so-called complete credit type slot machine. Further, it may be a parrot (R) that uses balls as game media.

  In the gaming machine according to a preferred aspect of the present invention, when the game result corresponds to the second game result, the first display means corresponds to the game result being the first game result or loss. In addition to executing the symbol variation, the second display means executes symbol variation corresponding to the game result being the second game result (claim 2).

  For example, when the second game result is determined, the first display means notifies of the loss or the first game result before the notification of the second game result. Therefore, even if the first display means is notified of the loss or the first game result, the actual game result may be the second game result until the notification by the second display means is completed thereafter. A player's expectation that there is no can be maintained. As described above, according to the gaming machine of a preferred aspect of the present invention, when a plurality of symbol variations are performed on one game result, the player's attention to the symbol variation in which the game result is determined later can be enhanced. .

The gaming machine of the present invention has a game result determining means for determining a game result when a predetermined condition is satisfied,
Privilege granting means for granting a privilege to a player when a game result corresponding to granting a privilege to the player is determined by the game result determination means;
First display means for displaying a first symbol variation for notifying the game result;
First special effect executing means for executing a first special effect corresponding to the first symbol variation as the first symbol variation progresses;
Different from the first display means, a second display means for displaying a second symbol variation for notifying the game result;
A second special effect executing means for executing a second special effect corresponding to the second symbol variation as the second symbol variation progresses, and the first symbol variation and the second symbol variation are simultaneously performed. Occur,
In the situation where the first display means displays the first symbol variation, the second special effect execution means performs the second special effect as the second symbol variation progresses in the second display means. When executing, the progress of the first symbol variation is interrupted, and the progression of the first symbol variation is resumed when the second special effect ends or when it ends.
In a situation where the second display means is displaying the second symbol variation, the first special effect executing means performs the first special effect as the first symbol variation progresses in the first display means. In the case of execution, a gaming machine that interrupts the progress of the second symbol variation and resumes the progress of the second symbol variation when the first special effect ends or when the first special effect ends.

  This gaming machine includes the first display means and the second display means as means for displaying a symbol variation for notifying the game result. Furthermore, a first special effect executing means for executing the first special effect as the first symbol variation progresses, and a second special effect that executes the second special effect as the second symbol variations progress. Execution means. In this gaming machine, the first symbol variation by the first display unit and the second symbol variation by the second display unit occur simultaneously.

  In the gaming machine, the first (second) display means is configured such that the second (first) special effect execution means performs the second (first) special display in the situation where the first (second) symbol variation is displayed. When performing an effect, the progress of the first (second) symbol variation is interrupted, and the progression of the first (second) symbol variation is resumed when the second (first) special effect ends or ends. To do.

In this gaming machine, when a special effect occurs with the progress of one symbol variation, the progression of the other symbol variation is interrupted. Therefore, the special effect accompanying the progress of the other symbol variation is not executed simultaneously with the special effect accompanying the progress of the one symbol variation.
As described above, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the possibility that the player misses the special effect is reduced as compared with the configuration in which the special effect corresponding to each symbol variation is simultaneously executed.

  As described above, although this gaming machine is a gaming machine that executes a plurality of symbol variations, it is a gaming machine that suppresses the possibility of a player overlooking a special effect that is executed as the symbol variation progresses. is there.

  In this gaming machine, the first (second) display means resumes the progress of the first (second) symbol variation when the second (first) special effect ends or ends. Includes a mode in which the progress of the symbol variation is resumed at a time before the end of the special performance, in addition to a mode in which the progression of the symbol variation is resumed after the special performance is completed.

In this gaming machine, the first display means may execute the interruption of the progress of the symbol variation so that the first special effect and the second special effect are not executed simultaneously.
If the progress of the symbol variation is interrupted so that the first special effect and the second special effect are not executed at the same time, the possibility that the special effect is overlooked can be suppressed with higher certainty.

In this gaming machine, the first display means and the second display means may continue to change without stopping and displaying the symbols when the progress of symbol variation is interrupted.
If the progress of the symbol variation is interrupted while the symbol variation is continued, the continuity of the effect due to the symbol variation can be improved, and a smooth effect that does not feel a break can be realized.

In this gaming machine, the first display means and the second display means may be configured such that when the game result determining means determines one game result, the first symbol variation for notifying the one game result and It is also possible to execute the second symbol variation.
In this case, every time the game result is determined, the symbol variation is executed by each display means. From the player's side, it seems that the chances will increase, so the interest of the game will increase.

The gaming machine includes, as the game result determining unit, a first game result determining unit and a second game result determining unit different from the first game result determining unit.
The first display means executes the first symbol variation to notify the game result determined by the first game result determination means, and the second display result is determined by the second game result determination means. The second symbol variation may be executed in order to notify the played game result.
In this case, a plurality of types of game results can be notified by the symbol variation executed by each display means.

The gaming machine of the present invention has a game result determining means for determining a game result when a predetermined condition is satisfied,
Privilege granting means for granting a privilege to a player when a game result corresponding to granting a privilege to the player is determined by the game result determination means;
First display means for displaying a first symbol variation for notifying the game result;
First special effect executing means for executing a first special effect corresponding to the first symbol variation as the first symbol variation progresses;
Different from the first display means, a second display means for displaying a second symbol variation for notifying the game result;
A second special effect executing means for executing a second special effect corresponding to the second symbol variation as the second symbol variation progresses, and the first symbol variation and the second symbol variation are simultaneously performed. Occur,
The first special effect executing means may execute the first special effect a plurality of times while the first display means executes the first symbol variation once. When the first special effect is executed a plurality of times during the fluctuation, the timing before and after the second special effect is different from the execution timing of the second special effect by the second special effect executing means. It may be a gaming machine that executes the first special effect.

  The first special effect executing means in this gaming machine may execute the first special effect a plurality of times while the first symbol variation is executed once. In this way, when the first special effect execution means executes the first special effect a plurality of times during the first symbol variation, the timing is different from the execution timing of the second special effect. The first special effect is executed before and after the second special effect.

  In this gaming machine, a special effect corresponding to each symbol variation is alternately executed, so that the situation where the special effect is simultaneously executed is avoided. Therefore, in the game of this gaming machine, the possibility that the player misses the special effect is reduced as compared with the configuration in which the special effects corresponding to each symbol variation are executed simultaneously.

The gaming machine of the present invention includes a first display means (first display unit) capable of displaying an image as an effect,
A second display means (second display section) provided different from the first display means, capable of displaying an image as an effect;
A first display state in which the first display unit and the second display unit each display an image to display a plurality of images; and a combination of the image of the first display unit and the image of the second display unit Display control means for controlling display of the first display means and the second display means so as to realize a display state including a second display state for forming an image,
When the display control means switches the display state from the first display state to the second display state, at least a part of the first display means is arranged in a front-rear direction with respect to the second display means, or the The gaming machine may include a moving unit that moves the first display unit from a predetermined reference position toward a special position adjacent to the second display unit.

  In this gaming machine, it is possible to execute an effect of displaying an image in which each display unit cooperates while the first display unit moves, and the pattern of the effect is diversified. In addition, in order to display an image by combining a plurality of display means after the display means has moved, the second display for displaying an image in combination with the first display state in which the plurality of display means independently display the image. The distinction from the state is relatively easy when viewed from the player side.

  In the second display state, the display control means included in the gaming machine is configured to display each display means so as to display a picture straddling the boundary between the display area of the first display means and the display area of the second display means. It is also possible to control the display.

  If the specific image is displayed by combining the image of the first display means and the image of the second display means according to the second display state, as compared with the case where the picture is displayed by only one of the display means. Various productions are possible. In addition to the characters and animals in anime and manga, there are various images such as ropes, bars, ladders, and other objects and tools. The boundary may include a frame such as a frame of the display means or a gap between the two display means, and the images of the display means are not necessarily in contact with each other. The said 2nd display state should just be a state visually recognized from the player side, when the said pattern is displayed ranging over the said boundary.

Further, the moving means may move the first display means from the special position to the reference position when the display control means switches the display state from the second display state to the first display state. .
When the second display state ends, the first display means moves, so that the player can easily understand that the second display state ends.

The first display means in this gaming machine displays a first character in each of the first display state and the second display state,
The second display means displays a second character different from the first character in each of the first display state and the second display state,
The display control means may display an effect in which the action of the first character interferes with the action of the second character in the second display state.

  If the same character is displayed for each display means regardless of whether the display state is the first display state or the second display state, the player can easily understand the correspondence between the display means and the character. If this correspondence is grasped, even if the display means moves in the second display state, it becomes easy for the player to understand which character is displayed, and it is easy to understand the game content and the content of the production. become. Even a player who has started playing a game without understanding the performance, etc. can understand the content of the performance, etc. relatively quickly, so the possibility that the game will be terminated because the performance cannot be understood is reduced. .

The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
Example 1
This example is an example relating to a pachinko gaming machine 1 that plays by playing balls. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 in FIG. 1 is a gaming machine that is played using a pachinko ball as a game medium. In this pachinko machine 1, a big win lottery (special symbol winning / no-going determination) is executed in accordance with the winning to the upper starter 11 or the lower starter 12 constituting the start winning portion, and the big win symbol is displayed when the big win is won. It is a so-called seven machine in which a big hit state is generated.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a substantially circular gaming area 130 is formed inside an opening / closing door 13 attached to a frame (not shown). A pair of speakers 131 are arranged on both lower sides of the game area 130, and an upper dish 135 and a lower dish 137 are provided below the game area 130. On the lower right side of the upper plate 135, an operation handle 15 that is operated by the player to fire a pachinko ball is arranged.

  The open / close door 13 faces the pachinko gaming machine 1 and is fixed to the frame so as to be rotatable via a left hinge 133. The open / close door 13 is provided with a substantially circular transparent window 139 corresponding to the game area 130, and decorative lamp portions 136 disposed on both upper sides of the transparent window 139.

The upper plate 135 is a tray for receiving a prize ball, a ball rental, or the like paid out in accordance with winning. The upper plate 135 is formed so as to project toward the player side. The balls of the upper plate 135 are supplied to the launching device 341 via a supply passage (not shown). On the upper surface of the edge portion surrounding the upper plate 135, a push button 155 for the player to operate during the game effect is arranged.
The lower plate 137 is a tray for paying out a prize ball when the balls of the upper plate 135 are full, or collecting balls of the upper plate 135 according to the player's operation.

The game area 130 is an area where pachinko balls, which are game media, flow down. The game area 130 is formed around the display device 19 including the liquid crystal display unit 190, and an out hole 138 for collecting balls that have flowed down without winning is provided at the bottom. In the lower region of the display device 19, the upper starter 11 and the lower starter 12 are arranged one above the other, and the big winning device 16 is arranged further below.
A passing gate 14 is arranged in the left region of the display device 19 when viewed from the player side. Further, a general map display unit 181 and a general map hold display unit 182 are arranged along the left edge of the game area 130.

  The passing gate 14 is a gate for detecting a passing ball. The payout of the winning ball is not set to the passing gate 14 that only allows the ball to pass. When a passing ball of the passing gate 14 is detected, a random number for lottery for normal symbol determination (hereinafter referred to as a normal symbol determination) is extracted, and a normal symbol determination is executed. The normal winning probability is 1/30 in the normal state and 1/1 in the probability variation state.

The common map display unit 181 is a display unit for determining whether or not the common map is determined. The general-purpose display unit 181 displays winning by turning on the LED, and displays a loss in response to turning off the LED.
The common figure hold display part 182 is a display part of the number of random numbers for lottery for common figure determination extracted during the fluctuation display of the normal figure.

  The grand prize winning device 16 is a variable prize winning device called a so-called attacker that opens the grand prize winning opening 160. The attacker 16 is disposed below the lower starter 12. The attacker 16 has a large winning opening 160 having a horizontally long and substantially rectangular shape, and a lid member 161 that rotates to the near side. In the attacker 16, the big prize opening 160 is closed when the lid member 161 is positioned so as to be substantially flush with the board surface forming the game area 130. On the other hand, when the lid member 161 is rotated forward, the special winning opening 160 is opened. It should be noted that the number of payout balls when winning a prize in the big prize opening 160 is 12 balls with respect to the payout number of 10 balls in a general prize opening (not shown).

  The upper starter 11 and the lower starter 12 are winning openings that trigger the jackpot lottery (special drawing determination). When a ball wins the upper starter 11 or the lower starter 12, a lottery random number for special figure determination is extracted and a big hit lottery is executed. The number of payout balls for the start winning to the upper starter 11 and the lower starter 12 is three balls.

  The lower starter 12 is composed of an electric chew (electric tulip) in which a pair of movable blades 121 are provided in the opening 120. The pair of movable blades 121 in a normal state is in a state of standing so as to face each other with a gap (a state indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1). In this state, the opening formed by the gap between the pair of movable blades 121 is closed by the upper starter 11, and there is no possibility that a ball will win. The pair of movable blades 121 rotate so as to be separated from each other when they are elected in the normal determination (a state indicated by a solid line in the figure), like a tray that guides the inflow of the balls into the opening 120. Act on. In such an open state, winning to the lower starter 12 easily occurs. The opening time of the lower starter 12 is 0.2 seconds in the normal state and 1.5 seconds × 3 times in the probability variation state.

  The display device 19 (FIG. 2) is a device in which the liquid crystal display units 190 and 191 are arranged inside the frame body 19F. The liquid crystal display 190 having a large display screen (main screen, display area) 190A is the main liquid crystal. The liquid crystal display unit 191 having a small display screen (sub-screen, display area) 191A has a sub-liquid crystal and is movable.

  The sub liquid crystal 191 is supported by a rotating arm 191K that is pivotally supported on the frame body 19F side. The rotating arm 191K is rotated by the driving force of the driving motor (moving means) 191M, and moves the sub liquid crystal 191 by this rotating operation. The reference position of the sub liquid crystal 191 is a position corresponding to the upper side of the main liquid crystal 190 that does not shield the main screen 190A when viewed from the player side. The sub liquid crystal 191 has a special position where the sub screen 191A overlaps the main screen 190A when viewed from the player side (a position where the main screen 190A and the sub screen 191A overlap in the front-rear direction (depth direction), see FIG. 7). Can be moved to.

  The main liquid crystal (second display means, second special effect execution means, second display unit) 190, and the sub liquid crystal (first display means, first special effect execution means, first display unit) 191 are used to produce a game. In addition to the function of displaying the various effect images, a function as a symbol variation means for performing symbol variation for notifying whether or not the big hit lottery is successful (whether special symbol determination is successful or not) is provided.

  In the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 as the symbol changing means, after the effect symbols (the symbols including the numbers 1 to 9) are variably displayed, whether or not the special symbol is determined according to the combination of symbols stopped and displayed ( Whether it is a big hit or a loss). The main liquid crystal 190 displays a parent symbol such as a parent cat with a number written on the belly, and the sub liquid crystal 191 similarly displays a child symbol such as a numbered kitten.

  For example, in the case of winning a jackpot, after a symbol change display over a predetermined symbol change time, a symbol of a doublet is displayed on at least one of the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191. For main liquid crystal 190, symbol variation (second symbol variation) is executed every time the success / failure lottery is notified, while symbol variation is not always performed for sub liquid crystal 191. When a predetermined effect lottery is won, symbol variation (first symbol variation) by the sub liquid crystal 191 is executed.

  The main liquid crystal 190 has a function as a second special effect executing means for executing a reach effect (second special effect) when the same parent symbol is stopped and displayed in two places while leaving the parent pattern in one changed state. I have. Similarly, the sub liquid crystal 191 also serves as a first special effect execution means for executing a reach effect (first special effect) when the same child symbol is stopped and displayed in two places while leaving one place in a varying state. It has a function.

  A special figure hold display unit 195 for displaying the number of lottery random numbers for special figure determination is arranged at the bottom of the main screen 190A of the main liquid crystal 190. The special figure hold display section 195 can display the hold marks 195M corresponding to the lottery random numbers that are held side by side. The number of the hold marks 195M displayed is up to 4 corresponding to the maximum hold number of 4. The hold marks 195M are arranged left-aligned in order from the oldest storage time of special figure hold (winning time).

  The gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example includes a normal state that is disadvantageous for the player and a jackpot state that is a very advantageous special gaming state, a probability variation state in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot is high, a symbol variation time There are short states when shortened. Except for the big hit state, special figure determination as a big hit lottery is executed, and a big hit state occurs when the big hit lottery is won. The symbol variation time when notifying the jackpot lottery result is 30 seconds in the normal state and 1 second in the short time state, except for the reach effect. The usual map change time is 30 seconds in the normal state and 1 second in the short time state.

  The big hit state is an advantageous special game state in which a round process in which the attacker 16 is released is repeatedly executed until 9 balls are won or 30 seconds have passed. The types of jackpots include 15R normal parent, 15R probability variable parent, 15R probability variable, per 10R normal child, and 5R normal child. Each jackpot R means a round process executed in the corresponding jackpot state. For example, 15R represents that the round process is executed 15 times. In addition, the number of balls (TY) in which a big hit state is generated is about 500 balls for five rounds (5R). Therefore, 5R jackpot is about 500 balls, 10R jackpot is about 1000 balls, 15R jackpot is about 1500 balls.

  When the jackpot lottery is won, it is distributed to any jackpot among 15R normal parent, 15R probability variable parent, 15R probability variable parent, 10R normal child per 5R normal child. While the number of rounds per parent is 15 rounds, the number of rounds per child includes those with fewer rounds than 15 rounds and a short duration. As described above, the average hitting degree on the player side is set lower in the child hit state than in the parent hit state. Therefore, the parent perception (second game result) that triggers the parent perception state is a game result that is more advantageous to the player than the per child (first game result) that triggers the per child perception.

  The winning probability of the jackpot lottery is 1 / 250.0 in the normal state and 1 / 25.0 in the probability variation state. The distribution ratio of each jackpot state when the jackpot lottery is won is 25% per 15R normal parent, 25% per 15R probable parent, 25% per 15R probable child, 15% per 10R normal child, 5R normal per child is 10%. The distribution ratio per 15R-probable parent and the 15R-probable parent that occur after the probability-changing state is 50% in total. Therefore, the probability that the probability variation state occurs after the end of the jackpot state is 50%.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes a control board 20 on which a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a storage element such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like are mounted. The control board 20 realizes the following functions by causing the CPU to execute a software program read from the ROM.
(1) Lottery means: means for executing a jackpot lottery (special figure determination) as to whether or not to generate a jackpot state by acquiring a random number for lottery when a ball wins the upper starter 11 and the lower starter 12 .
(2) Holding means (storage means): means for storing and holding lottery random numbers for special figure determination and universal figure determination. Note that the maximum number of random numbers for lottery is four.
(3) Reading means: means for reading a reserved lottery random number for special figure determination and a lottery random number for universal figure determination.
(4) Pre-reading means: means for determining whether or not special figure holding before reading is appropriate prior to the start of symbol variation.
(5) Win / fail judgment means (game result determination means): means for judging whether or not the lottery random number for special figure determination and the random number for lottery for ordinary figure reading are read.
(6) Big hit state control means: means for generating a big hit state by executing a round process for releasing the attacker 16. The jackpot state control means terminates the jackpot state when the planned number of rounds is exhausted.
(7) Probability change state control means: means for generating a probability change state in response to the end of the 15R probability change parent contact state or the 15R probability change contact state, and ending the probability change state when the symbol variation is executed 100 times.
(8) Bonus granting means: means for granting a bonus to the player that the jackpot state has occurred when winning the jackpot lottery.
(9) Display control means: means for controlling the display of the main screen 190A of the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub screen 191A of the sub liquid crystal 191. As the control by the display control means, control of the first display state in which the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 respectively display individual images and the second display state in which the respective display images are combined to display an integral image. There is control.

  The outline of the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above will be described. When the operation handle 15 is operated in the clockwise direction, the pachinko gaming machine 1 launches a ball with an intensity corresponding to the operation amount. The shot balls flow down the game area 130 where the upper starter 11 and the like are arranged. The balls that have not won the upper starter 11 or the like are collected from an out hole 138 provided at the bottom of the game area 130.

  When the control board 20 detects a ball that passes through the passing gate 14 while the ball flows down, the control board 20 executes a lottery that extracts a random number for lottery for normal determination from random numbers generated by a random number generator (not shown). . The control board 20 collates this lottery random number with a lottery table for illustration determination (not shown), and determines whether or not the drawing determination is correct. When the common map determination is won, the control board 20 turns on the LED after the blinking operation of the LED constituting the general map display unit 181 (variation of the normal map). In the case of loss, the LED is turned off after the blinking operation. When winning in the normal determination, the control board 20 opens the lower starter 12. Thereby, the winning probability of the lower starter 12 is increased.

  When a ball flows into the upper starter 11 or the lower starter 12 and a start prize is generated, the control board 20 performs a lottery lottery (special figure determination) by extracting a random number for lottery for special figure determination. Run. The control board 20 stores the extracted lottery number for special figure determination as special figure hold. However, if the number of special figure holds is 4, the lottery random number is deleted without storing as special figure hold.

  The control board 20 stores the reserved random number stored as the special figure holding time (winning time) when the design for the effect by the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 is stopped and the big hit state is not occurring. The old ones are read one by one in order, and checked with a lottery table for special figure determination (not shown) to determine whether or not the big hit lottery is successful.

  When the control board 20 determines whether or not the big hit lottery is successful, the symbol variation (second symbol variation) by the main liquid crystal 190 is started. When a predetermined effect lottery is won, in addition to the symbol variation by the main liquid crystal 190, the symbol variation by the sub liquid crystal 191 is started. The main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 display whether or not the big win lottery is determined according to the combination of the symbols that are stopped and displayed when the effect operation for variably displaying the effect symbols including numbers is executed. The three vertically arranged symbols displayed on the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 stop in the order of upper → lower → middle.

  The 15R probability variation parent contact and the 15R normal parent contact are notified by a parent contact symbol which is a combination of the base symbols of the parent symbol stopped and displayed on the main screen 190A of the main liquid crystal 190. Per 15R probability variable, per 10R normal child, and per 5R normal child are notified by a per child design that is a combination of children's symbols that are stopped and displayed on the sub-screen 191A of the sub liquid crystal 191. In addition, the symbol per parent and the symbol per child may be stopped and displayed at the same time. In this case, the parent perception is given priority and the corresponding per parental state occurs.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the control board 20 generates a corresponding jackpot state when the parent winning symbol (symbol per child) is stopped and displayed during generation of the normal state or the like. In the big hit state, a round process for releasing the attacker 16 is repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times.

  When the probability variation jackpot state (the 15R probability variation parent contact state and the 15R probability variation contact state) is completed, the control board 20 generates a probability variation state. Thereafter, the probability variation state is terminated according to 100 symbol variations. Also, regardless of the type of jackpot state, after the end of the jackpot state, the time-short state with electric Chu support continues for 100 symbol variations. When a jackpot is won during the occurrence of a probability change state or a short-time state, the probability change state or the like ends according to the occurrence of a new jackpot state.

  In addition, the number of rounds in the child contact state is 15 times, 10 times, or 5 times. The number of rounds will vary depending on the type of child won. During the occurrence of the hit state, an effect is displayed in which the number of rounds digested is displayed by the growth of the kitten as shown in FIG. As the number of rounds digested under the condition of a child increases, an effect of displaying an image such as a kitten drinking milk, sitting or standing up is executed. During the occurrence of the hit state, it is notified whether or not the round is continued by an effect representing the manner in which such a kitten grows. Specifically, when the kitten grows up, the round continues, whereas when the kitten fails, the per-child condition ends. For example, if the current round is the fifth round, the kitten grows if the number of rounds per child this time is 10, while the number of rounds per child this time is 5 As the kitten stops growing and the fifth round ends, the hit state ends.

  Next, various symbol variation effects executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example will be described. As the symbol variation effect, (1) an alternate reach effect in which symbol variation is executed in both the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191; and (2) a simulation by a combination of the display image of the main liquid crystal 190 and the display image of the sub liquid crystal 191. There are a series effect, (3) a push button gauge effect that prompts the user to operate the push button 155 during symbol variation, and (4) a pre-read effect that notifies the expectation level of special figure hold. In the following description, (1) alternating reach effects and (2) pseudo-continuous effects will be described in detail, while (3) push button gauge effects and (4) prefetch effects will be described briefly.

(1) Alternate reach effect The alternate reach effect is an effect in which symbol variation is simultaneously executed by the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191. The flow of this alternate reach effect will be described with reference to FIG. In the drawing, the flow of the production in the upper stage corresponds to the sub liquid crystal 191, and the flow of the production in the lower stage corresponds to the main liquid crystal 190.

  In the alternate reach effect, first, in the sub-liquid crystal 191, a long reach (first special effect) in which the middle symbol continues to fluctuate in the state where the same symbols are stopped vertically and a reach line is formed is started. During the generation of the long reach by the sub liquid crystal 191, the reach (second special effect) also occurs in the main liquid crystal 190. Thus, in the alternate reach effect, the reach occurrence timing is shifted between the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191.

  The long reach by the sub liquid crystal 191 shifts to the long long reach (first special effect) triggered by the execution of a tilting effect (first special effect) that raises the player's expectation. On the other hand, the effect produced by the main liquid crystal 190 develops into a battle mode for dogs and cats during the long long reach. Note that the long and long reach has the same design as the long reach, but the amount of time until execution of the next tilting direction is longer than that of the long reach because the main liquid crystal 190 performs an effect that develops into the battle mode. It has become.

  Thereafter, in the sub liquid crystal 191 that is executing the long long reach, the player's sense of expectation is further enhanced by executing the second tilting effect. On the other hand, in the main liquid crystal 190, SP (special) reach (second special effect) in which the cat starts attacking the dog occurs. Thereafter, all child symbols are stopped on the sub liquid crystal 191, and a child contact or a loss is notified.

  In the main liquid crystal 190, after the stop symbols are determined by the sub liquid crystal 191, all the parent symbols are stopped and a big hit or a loss is notified. As described above, in the alternate reach effect, the winning lottery result (game result) is notified by the sub liquid crystal 191 and then the winning lottery result is notified by the main liquid crystal 190.

  In the alternate reach effect, when both the sub liquid crystal 191 and the main liquid crystal 190 are lost, the sub liquid crystal 191 is lost, and when the main liquid crystal 190 is lost, the sub liquid crystal 191 is lost. Regardless of the notification of the liquid crystal 191, it is a big hit. As described above, in the alternate reach effect, notification of the main liquid crystal 190 can be expected even if the sub liquid crystal 191 is lost, and a game where two chances are generated for notification of one lottery result is realized.

  In the sub liquid crystal 191, the long reach until the first tilt effect is executed after the reach occurrence and the long and long reach until the second tilt effect is executed after the first tilt effect is executed. The design variation is in a state where the production progress is interrupted. In the main liquid crystal 190, each state from the occurrence of reach until the occurrence of reach until the occurrence of reach after symbol change, the occurrence of reach, and the occurrence of SP reach after the occurrence of reach is a state in which the progress of production is interrupted. In this state, the pattern variation continues. In alternate reach production, the execution timing of important productions such as tilt production, development, and SP reach are shifted in time.

  With reference to FIG. 6 showing an example of the alternate reach effect, the progress of the alternate reach effect will be specifically described along the flow of time. In the figure, the alphabet displayed on the upper right of each display screen 190A, 191A represents a time point. Hereinafter, a specific example of the alternate reach effect will be described along the passage of time. In the figure, the upper part shows the flow of effects by the sub liquid crystal 191, and the lower part shows the flow of effects by the main liquid crystal 190. In FIG. 6, the symbols are shown only with numerals for easy understanding.

(Time point a) Symbol variation by the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 starts simultaneously.
(Time point b) While the symbol variation state is maintained in the main liquid crystal 190 and the progression of symbol variation is interrupted, reach occurs in the sub liquid crystal 191. At this time, an upward line-of-sight guidance arrow U that prompts the player to view the sub screen 191A is displayed on the upper right of the main screen 190A.

(Time c) Reach occurs in the main liquid crystal 190 while the reach generation state is maintained in the sub liquid crystal 191 and the progress of the reach effect is interrupted. At this time, a downward gaze guidance arrow D that prompts the player to view the main screen 190A is displayed on the upper right of the sub-screen 191A.

(Time d) While the reach occurrence state is maintained in the main liquid crystal 190 and the progress of the reach effect is interrupted, the sub liquid crystal 191 executes the tilt effect by displaying the characters “chance”. At this time, an upward line-of-sight guidance arrow U that prompts the player to view the sub screen 191A is displayed on the upper right of the main screen 190A.

(Time e) While the reach occurrence state is maintained in the sub liquid crystal 191 and the long / long reach is executed and the progress of the reach production is interrupted, the production of the main liquid crystal 190 is developed into a battle mode in which the dog and the cat fight. To do. At this time, a downward gaze guidance arrow D that prompts the player to view the main screen 190A is displayed on the upper right of the sub-screen 191A.

(Time point f) The main liquid crystal 190 is in a standby state in which the progress of the production is interrupted without the fight of the dog and cat under the battle mode proceeding, and an upward gaze guidance arrow U is displayed on the upper right of the main screen 190A. The In the sub liquid crystal 191, the tilting effect is executed by displaying the characters “Great Chance”.
(Time point g) While the reach occurrence state is maintained in the sub liquid crystal 191 and the long / long reach is executed and the progress of the reach production is interrupted, the SP reach starts in the main liquid crystal 190 and the attack such as the cat punch starts. Is done.

(Time point h) In the main liquid crystal 190, when the cat starts an attack, the screen is switched to the standby screen, the progress of the production is interrupted, and an upward gaze guidance arrow U is displayed on the upper right of the main screen 190A. In the sub liquid crystal 191, the child symbol in the middle stage is stopped, the symbol per child is displayed, and the winning per child is notified.
(Time point i) On the sub liquid crystal 191, a downward line-of-sight guidance arrow D is displayed on the upper right of the sub-screen 191A for notifying the winning per child by the symbol per child. The main liquid crystal 190 displays that the cat has won the fight with an image of the dog losing to the cat running away.
(Time j) In the main liquid crystal 190, the parent symbol in the middle stage is stopped, and the parent contact symbol is displayed to notify the winning per parent.

  In the alternate reach effect of the present example as described above, for example, when the progress of the symbol variation is interrupted by the main liquid crystal 190, the progression of the symbol variation is resumed after the effect of the sub liquid crystal 191 is completed. For example, when the tilt effect (first special effect) for displaying the character “chance” is executed on the sub liquid crystal 191, the display of the symbol variation by the main liquid crystal 190 proceeds after the display of the character “chance”. Resumed.

  Note that not all symbol variations cause symbol variations due to both the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191. In most symbol variations, symbol variations are performed only by the main liquid crystal 190, and various effects other than symbol variations are performed by the sub liquid crystal 191. Whether or not the sub liquid crystal 191 also executes symbol variation is determined by a predetermined effect lottery. Further, even in the case where the pattern is changed in both the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191, unlike the above-described alternate reach effect, reach may not occur in one or both liquid crystal display units. The symbol variation pattern by the main liquid crystal 190 and the symbol variation pattern by the sub liquid crystal 191 are stored in advance in a state of being associated with each other.

(2) Pseudo-continuous productions Pseudo-continuous productions are productions in which symbol variation is executed a plurality of times for one big hit lottery. In this pseudo-continuous production, after the symbol is temporarily stopped, the symbol variation is executed a plurality of times by a variation operation in which the symbol variation is resumed. As the pseudo continuous effect, at least (2-1) the first pseudo continuous effect that is executed with the sub liquid crystal 191 overlapping the main screen 190A, and (2-2) the sub liquid crystal 191 is executed without overlapping the main screen 190A. There is a second pseudo-ream effect.

(2-1) First Pseudo Continuous Effect This pseudo continuous effect is executed in a state where the sub liquid crystal 191 overlaps with the main screen 190A in the front-rear direction (in the depth direction and the sub liquid crystal 191 is on the near side). When the same pattern on the upper and lower sides of the main liquid crystal 190 is stopped in a half-frame shift, the sub liquid crystal 191 rotates downward to a special position for production that overlaps the main screen 190A in the front-rear direction (depth direction). Moving.

  An effect is shown in which the kitten (first character) displayed on the sub-screen 191A pulls the parent symbol of the central parent cat (second character) on the main screen 190A by a tug of war (upper row in FIG. 7). This tug-of-warming effect is an effect in which the kitten displayed on the sub liquid crystal 191 interferes with the parent symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal 190. Between the kitten on the sub-screen 191A and the parent symbol (the parent symbol that becomes a doublet) in the center of the main screen 190A, an illustrated rope (picture) 19R is passed, and this rope 19R is the main screen. It is displayed across the boundary between 190A and the sub screen 191A. In addition, you may change arbitrarily the display mode in case the operation | movement of the kitten which is a 1st character interferes with the operation | movement of the parent cat which is a 2nd character. For example, an effect in which the first character displayed on the sub liquid crystal 191 attacks the second character displayed on the main liquid crystal 190 may be used.

  As described above, the effect of FIG. 7 is an effect that is executed under a display state (second display state) in which an integrated effect image is formed by a combination of display images of the respective screens. Thereafter, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 7, the pseudo-ream is completed when the parent symbol of the doublet is aligned at the center of the main screen 190A by tug of war. The display state in which the stop position of the lower parent symbol is shifted by half a frame from the other parent symbols corresponds to the chance, and the pseudo-ream starts. The sub liquid crystal 191 returns to the original reference position (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) adjacent to the upper side of the main liquid crystal 190 after the effect is finished. In FIG. 7, the rotation arm 191K for rotating the sub liquid crystal 191 is not shown.

(2-2) Second Pseudo Continuous Effect This pseudo continuous effect is an effect that is executed in a state where the sub liquid crystal 191 is located at the reference position as shown in FIG. When the same pattern on the top and bottom of the main liquid crystal 190 is stopped by half-frame shift, one of the kittens displayed on the sub liquid crystal 191 adjacent to the upper side of the main liquid crystal 190 moves into the main screen 190A, and the center The effect of trying to stop the double eyes by pressing the parent symbol of the parent cat is executed (second display state). If the main liquid crystal 190 is aligned, the pseudo-ream is completed.

(3) Push Button Gauge Effect The push button gauge effect is an effect that prompts the operation of the push button 155 by displaying a gauge indicating the remaining time together with the push button as shown in FIG. If the gauge is displayed after the push button is displayed, the player can be motivated to press the push button 155.

  The normal pattern is a pattern in which a gauge is displayed below the normal size push button. In this normal pattern, an effect of reducing the remaining time of the gauge is performed by an animation in which a small bird flies to the left of the horizontal gauge and jumps and jumps. There are variations such as different bird colors and different numbers of birds depending on the expectation of winning the big hit after the push button is pressed. Thereafter, when the remaining time of the gauge runs out without operating the push button 155, the bird fades out. On the other hand, when the push button 155 is operated, an effect corresponding to the operation is executed. For example, when the push button 155 is operated, the degree of expectation that the pseudo continuous effect is generated is notified, and the case where the number of birds before the push button 155 is operated is larger than the case where the number of birds is small. It becomes easy to become.

  As a method of notifying the player of the expectation level before the push button 155 is operated, the gauge is enlarged at the timing when the push button 155 becomes effective, and a group of animals appears at the left end of the gauge. For example, there is a display method of starting movement on the right side. The valid time during which the push button 155 can be operated ends when the group of animals reaches the right end of the gauge and runs too far.

  In addition, push button display patterns include a pattern that displays buttons that are larger than normal, a pattern that attaches limbs to buttons, a pattern that includes multiple buttons to be displayed, and multiple buttons that indicate characters. A pattern for displaying a button in the shape of an upward arrow suggesting a downward movement (falling) of the sub liquid crystal 191, a pattern for displaying a button in the shape of an animal paws suggesting a pseudo-continuous effect Etc.

(4) Pre-reading effect The pre-reading effect is an effect of pre-reading the special figure hold and notifying the jackpot expectation. As pre-reading effects, there are pre-reading volcanic fluctuations and round-trip pre-reading zones.
The pre-reading volcano change is a pre-reading effect executed during the volcanic stage, which is one of the production stages. In the look-ahead volcano change, the volcano is displayed on the main liquid crystal 190 at the start of the change. Then, a display that the volcano is shaken is performed, and an effect of whether the eruption or the shake is settled is executed. When the shaking is settled, the effect of shaking the volcano is performed again at the start of the next fluctuation, and when the eruption occurs, the symbol pops out and reaches.

  In the round-ahead look-ahead zone, the sub liquid crystal 191 moves downward and is positioned so as to overlap the main liquid crystal 190 in the front-rear direction when the symbol variation starts, and the sub liquid crystal 191 rotates. Thereafter, the sub liquid crystal 191 returns to the reference position or displays the symbols while stopping at the center. When returning to the reference position, the sub liquid crystal 191 moves downward again at the start of the next symbol variation.

  That is, the pre-reading effect is executed over a plurality of symbol variations. Note that in the look-ahead volcano change, the greater the swaying effect without erupting, the greater the swaying when the volcano is displayed, and the greater the swaying, the higher the expectation of winning the big hit. In addition, in the round-ahead look-ahead variation, when the sub liquid crystal 191 moves back downward again due to the next symbol variation, the rotation speed of the sub liquid crystal 191 is high, and the higher the rotation speed is expected to win the big hit The degree becomes higher.

  As described above, in the alternate reach effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present example, when the main liquid crystal 190 executes a special effect such as the reach effect in a situation where the sub liquid crystal 191 displays the symbol variation, the sub liquid crystal The progression of the symbol variation of 191 is interrupted, and the progression of the symbol variation of the sub liquid crystal 191 is resumed when the reach effect or the like by the main liquid crystal 190 is finished. Further, when the sub liquid crystal 191 performs a special effect such as a reach effect while the main liquid crystal 190 is displaying a design variation, the progress of the design variation of the main liquid crystal 190 is interrupted, and the reach effect or the like by the sub liquid crystal 191 is performed. When finished, the progression of symbol variation of the main liquid crystal 190 is resumed.

As described above, in the alternate reach effect, when a special effect such as a reach effect occurs in accordance with the progress of any one of the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191, the progress of the other pattern change is interrupted. Therefore, the reach effect or the like accompanying the progress of the symbol variation of the sub liquid crystal 191 and the reach effect or the like accompanying the progression of the symbol variation of the main liquid crystal 190 are not executed simultaneously. While the alternate reach effect is continuing, the reach effect corresponding to the symbol variation of the main liquid crystal 190 and the reach effect corresponding to the symbol variation of the sub liquid crystal 191 are executed alternately.
Therefore, this pachinko gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine that executes a plurality of symbol variations, and has excellent gaming characteristics that the player is unlikely to miss a special effect that is executed as the symbol variations progress. It has become a game machine.

  The interruption of the progress of the symbol variation by the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 in the alternate reach effect is executed in a state where the symbol variation is continued. As a result, the continuity of the production due to the design variation is improved, and a smooth production that does not feel a break is realized.

  In the alternate reach effect, after the symbol variation by the sub liquid crystal 191 is stopped, the main liquid crystal 190 confirms whether or not the big hit lottery is successful. Therefore, regardless of the game result that is definitely displayed by the sub liquid crystal 191, the player's degree of attention to the symbol variation of the main liquid crystal 190 can be maintained. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, it is possible to notify the success / failure of the big hit lottery multiple times for one big hit lottery, thereby increasing the player's attention to the symbol variation. .

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example can execute an effect of displaying an image in cooperation with the main liquid crystal 190 while the sub liquid crystal 191 moves, and the pattern of the effect is diversified. Further, in the second display state illustrated in FIG. 7, after the sub liquid crystal 191 moves downward, an image is displayed by combining the display images of the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191. Therefore, there are a first display state in which the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 display an image independently, and a second display state as shown in FIG. 7 in which the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 are combined to display an image. The distinction is relatively easy when viewed from the player side.

In particular, in the second display state illustrated in FIG. 7, it is also possible to display the design of the rope 19R across the boundary between the sub liquid crystal 191 and the main liquid crystal 190, thereby realizing more various effects. ing.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present example, when the second display state in FIG. 7 in which the sub liquid crystal 191 and the main liquid crystal 190 are combined to display the image is terminated, the sub liquid crystal 191 is returned to the original position (reference in FIG. 1). Since it moves toward (position), it is easy for the player to understand that the second display state is ended.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a main symbol is displayed on the main liquid crystal 190 and a child symbol is displayed on the sub liquid crystal 191 regardless of whether the display state is the first display state or the second display state. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes easier for the player to grasp the correspondence between the main liquid crystal 190 and the character and the correspondence between the sub liquid crystal 191 and the character. If this correspondence is grasped, even if the sub liquid crystal 191 moves in the second display state illustrated in FIG. 7, it becomes easy to understand the game content, the content of the effect, and the like. Even a player who has started playing a game without understanding the performance, etc. can understand the content of the performance, etc. relatively quickly, so the possibility that the game will be terminated because the performance cannot be understood is reduced. .

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example is a gaming machine capable of executing various effects.
Furthermore, in this pachinko gaming machine, a game utilizing an RTC function (a clock function including a date / day of the week) is realized. Each reach is associated with each day of the week from Monday to Sunday. For example, for a reach associated with Monday, the expectation level when the reach occurs is particularly high on Monday. Furthermore, when the reach is generated a plurality of times and the reach of all days from Monday to Sunday can be generated, it can be developed into a rainbow reach with high expectation.

Instead of or in addition to the configuration of this example, the following configuration may be employed. Further, the following configurations may be combined as appropriate.
In this example, a pachinko gaming machine is illustrated as a gaming machine. The gaming machine may be a gaming machine other than a pachinko gaming machine. For example, it may be applied to a slot machine. In the case of a slot machine, the game result to be notified may include a winning combination, a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, or the like. The game result to be notified can be arbitrarily changed.

  In the alternate reach production of this example, the progress of the symbol variation is interrupted by maintaining the symbol variation state. The method for interrupting the progress of the symbol variation can be arbitrarily changed. For example, various methods are conceivable, such as a method of interrupting the symbol variation by temporarily stopping it, or a method of interrupting the progress of the symbol variation by setting a state in which the player cannot visually recognize the symbol variation.

  In the alternate reach effect of this example, the timing at which the special effects such as the reach effect and the tilt effect are finished is set as the timing at which the progress of the symbol fluctuation is resumed. Instead of this, when the special effect such as the reach effect or the tilt effect ends, that is, it may be configured to resume the progress of the symbol variation at a timing before the end of the special effect.

  In addition, the alternate reach production in this example employs a configuration in which a special production such as a reach production or a tilt production is not executed at the same time. Instead, one special production is performed on one liquid crystal display unit. During the execution, the special effect may be partially executed simultaneously by the other liquid crystal display unit. The special effect that is started on the other liquid crystal display unit after the one liquid crystal display unit starts the special effect is configured not to end before the special effect by the one liquid crystal display unit ends. It should be.

In this example, a configuration is employed in which a line-of-sight guidance arrow (see FIG. 6) indicating which liquid crystal display unit should be viewed is displayed on the screen. In addition to being able to arbitrarily change the mode of notifying which liquid crystal display unit should be visually observed, a configuration in which no notification is made may be employed.
In this example, when the special effect is executed, the progress of the symbol variation is interrupted. Instead of this, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the progress of the symbol variation in each liquid crystal display unit is determined in advance so that the execution timing of the special effect is different in the progression process of the symbol variation.

  In this example, the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 are arranged vertically. Instead, the positions of the liquid crystal display units 190 and 191 can be arbitrarily changed. Further, in this example, when the image of the main liquid crystal 190 and the image of the sub liquid crystal 191 are combined to form one image, a configuration in which the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 overlap in the front-rear direction (depth direction) is adopted. ing. The positional relationship between the liquid crystal display units 190 and 191 when combining images can be changed as appropriate.

In this example, as an image combining the image of the main liquid crystal 190 and the image of the sub liquid crystal 191, an image that displays the rope 19 </ b> R across the two liquid crystal display units 190 and 191 is illustrated. The mode of the combined image can be arbitrarily changed. For example, an effect that the character displayed on the main liquid crystal 190 moves into the sub screen 191A of the sub liquid crystal 191 may be executed. More specifically, an image obtained by combining the images of the two liquid crystal display units 190 and 191 may be configured such that a character that moves to both the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 is displayed. good.
As a pattern displayed across the boundary between the sub liquid crystal 191 and the main liquid crystal 190, in addition to the rope 19R illustrated in this example (see FIG. 7), characters and animals of animation and manga, ropes and sticks There are various images of objects and tools such as ladders.

In this example, a configuration is used in which the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 display the symbol variation and the special effects accompanying the symbol variation. Instead of this, either one or both of the symbol variation and the special effect may be executed by a device other than the liquid crystal display unit. For example, there may be a case where the symbol variation is performed by rotating the reel, and a case where the special effect is performed by the action of the accessory.
The contents of the special effects can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the special effect may be executed by changing the size of the symbol that is fluctuating.

  In this example, a configuration in which a main symbol is displayed on the main liquid crystal 190 and a child symbol is displayed on the sub liquid crystal 191 is illustrated. It is not an essential requirement that the main liquid crystal 190 and the sub liquid crystal 191 display different designs, and similar designs may be displayed on the liquid crystal display units 190 and 191, respectively.

  In the alternate reach production of this example, a plurality of symbol variations are executed for one lottery result. Instead, a plurality of symbol variations may correspond to different lottery results. In other words, the first game result determining means and the second game result determining means are provided as the game result determining means, the main liquid crystal 190 displays the game result determined by one game result determining means, and the other game You may comprise so that the sub liquid crystal 191 may display the game result determined by the result determination means. In this configuration, when the ball is won, the starting unit corresponding to the first game result determining means determining the game result, and the starting unit corresponding to the second game result determining means determining the game result; May be provided respectively.

  Furthermore, when this configuration is adopted, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on one liquid crystal display unit and a jackpot state occurs, the configuration that interrupts the progress of symbol variation on the other liquid crystal display unit, or one liquid crystal display unit In the state where the jackpot state in which the winning is announced is generated, the other LCD display unit may be notified of the winning, and there are a plurality of winning holes and the jackpot state is generated at the same time, or the jackpot that has been generated earlier It is possible to adopt a configuration or the like in which the next jackpot state continuously occurs after the state ends.

  As described above, specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail as in the embodiments. However, these specific examples merely disclose an example of the technology included in the scope of claims. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the specific examples. The scope of the claims includes techniques in which the specific examples are variously modified, changed, or appropriately combined using known techniques and knowledge of those skilled in the art.
