After the determination is made 100 times, the time reduction is canceled and the normal state is maintained until the next jackpot. In addition, after the probable jackpot game is over, the probabilistic state (high probability state) and the short time state are maintained until the next jackpot. In the game in the short time state, as will be described in detail later, the lottery probability per normal symbol is improved from 1/300 to 60/300 (1/5), and the opening time of the opening and closing members 42A, 42B is 1 From 2 seconds to 2 seconds, the number of times of expansion increases from 1 to 3 times. Therefore, in the short time state, it becomes easy to win the start winning opening 42, and it is possible to play a game in anticipation of the next jackpot while suppressing the reduction of the ball.

  The reach random number counter is used for determining whether or not a reach state is reached when the result of the determination is wrong, and includes a reach random number value from ‘0’ to ‘126’. The reach state in the present embodiment is other than the special symbol (for example, the middle special symbol) that is stopped and displayed last among the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol that are displayed in the display unit 11 with the variable stop. Special symbols (for example, the left special symbol and the right special symbol) are the same (except for the final stop symbol, it is the same as the special bonus combination except for the final stop symbol). Included state).

  This reach random number value starts from “0” when the gaming machine 1 is turned on, and is incremented by 1 for each main random number update process to be described later. Repeat addition. The reach random number value is acquired based on the detection of the winning at the starting winning port 42 by the starting winning port detecting switch, and when the result of the determination is wrong, the numerical value is determined in advance. The reach is determined by comparing with the numerical value. In this embodiment, the reach establishment numerical values are “5”, “17”, “28”, “40”, “51”, “63”, “74”, “86”, “97”, “109”, “ 120 '. In the present embodiment, the reach randomness value based on the jackpot random number value is always reach, so the reach random number value is not used for the presence / absence of reach.

  The variation pattern random number counter is used when selecting a special symbol (identification symbol) or a variation pattern of an effect mode to be described later from the variation pattern table, and includes variation pattern random numbers from “0” to “198”. . The random number value of the fluctuation pattern starts from “0” when the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on, and is incremented by 1 for each main random number update process described later. When the numerical value reaches “198”, it is set to “0”. Repeat the above addition again. The fluctuation pattern random number value is acquired due to the fact that the winning at the start winning opening 42 is detected by the start winning opening detecting switch.

  The variation pattern table includes a plurality of variation patterns to be displayed on the display unit 11 and is stored in the ROM of the main control board 200. There are six types of variation pattern tables: a low probability state hit table, a low probability state reach loss table, a low probability state lose table, a probability variation state hit table, a probability variation state reach loss table, and a probability variation state loss table. Each variation pattern table is provided with a plurality of variation patterns, and each variation pattern is assigned a variation pattern random value.

  The selection of the variation pattern from the variation pattern table is based on whether the current low probability state or the probability variation state, whether the determination result by the determination unit is a hit or not, whether there is a reach, or not. A corresponding table is selected from among them, and one variation pattern is selected from the selected table based on the variation pattern random value.

  The selected variation pattern is output to the sub-control board 205 as a variation command. When the sub control board 205 receives this variation command, it reads out the content of the effect corresponding to a predetermined effect pattern (effect pattern corresponding to the battle effect, the hold notice effect, etc.) from the ROM and executes it.

  Each variation pattern is set with a variation time for variably displaying a special symbol (identification symbol) and an effect mode in a predetermined pattern, and the variation time is set when the variation display of the special symbol on the display unit 11 is started. In addition, with regard to the obtained numerical data such as jackpot random number value, jackpot symbol random number value, reach random number value, variation pattern random number value, etc., a maximum of four each, the special symbol variation suspension in the corresponding area of the main control board 200 Stored in correspondence with the number and used sequentially.

  The normal symbol random number counter is used to determine the normal symbol per unit. When the gaming machine 1 is powered on, it starts from “0” and is incremented by “1” every main random number update process to be described later to reach “299”. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. This normal symbol random number is acquired every time the game ball that has passed through the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is detected by the normal symbol variation start switch, and the normal symbol random number which is currently changing in the normal symbol display device 50 is obtained. Except for a maximum of four, they are stored in the normal symbol random value storage area of the RAM of the main control board 200.

  In the low-probability state, if the acquired normal symbol random number value matches “1” set as the winning value, the symbol is normal symbol. That is, the probability per normal symbol in the low probability state is 1/300. On the other hand, in the probability variation state (high probability state) and in the short time state, if it matches any one of “1” to “60” set as the winning establishment value, it is per normal symbol. That is, the probability per normal symbol in the probability variation state (high probability state) and in the short time state is 60/300 (1/5). When the normal symbol is hit, the opening / closing members 42A and 42B provided on both sides of the start winning opening 42 are opened and opened. In the case of per normal symbol in the low probability state, the start winning opening 42 is opened once for 1 second. On the other hand, in the case of the normal symbol per time in the probability variation state and the short time state, the opening / closing members 42A and 42B are opened three times for 2 seconds.

  The jackpot symbol random number counter has a jackpot symbol random number value for determining a stop special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when a jackpot. The jackpot symbol random number consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time a normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The jackpot symbol random number value is acquired during a special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200.

  In the jackpot symbol random number value, the number of the square that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set. When the jackpot symbol random value “1” is acquired, the special stop symbol “1,1,1” is set. When the jackpot symbol random number “2” is acquired, the special symbol “2,2,2” is stopped. Is set as a special symbol for stopping. As described above, a jackpot with an even stop special symbol is usually a big jackpot, and a jackpot with an odd stop special symbol is a promiscuous jackpot.

  The counter for the left symbol random number has a left symbol random number value for determining the left special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when the result of determining whether or not the jackpot is true. The left symbol random value consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time a normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The left symbol random number value is acquired during the special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200. A left special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set in the left symbol random value. That is, when the left symbol random number value “1” is acquired, the left special symbol “1” is set, and when the left symbol random number value “2” is acquired, the left special symbol “2” is set. The acquired random value is set as the left special symbol.

  The medium symbol random number counter has a medium symbol random number value for determining a medium special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when the result of determining whether or not the jackpot is true. The medium symbol random value consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The middle symbol random number value is acquired during the special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200. A medium special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set in the medium symbol random value. That is, when the medium symbol random value “1” is acquired, the medium special symbol “1” is set. When the medium symbol random number “2” is acquired, the medium special symbol “2” is set. The acquired random value is set as a medium special symbol.

  The right symbol random number counter has a right symbol random number value for determining the right special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 when the jackpot winning / failing determination result is off. The right symbol random number consists of '0' to '11'. When the power is turned on, it starts from '0' and is incremented by '1' every time the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process described later is reached. Then, it is rewritten to “0” and the above addition is repeated again. The right symbol random number value is acquired in the special symbol selection process in the control of the main control board 200. A right special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is set in the right symbol random number value. That is, when the right symbol random value “1” is acquired, the right special symbol “1” is set, and when the right symbol random value “2” is acquired, the right special symbol “2” is set. The acquired random value is set as the right special symbol.

  However, for example, in the case where the determination result is wrong, the random number values acquired by the random number counters coincide with each other, or the reach state is passed, although the left random number counter is determined by the reach random number counter. The left design random number value may match the right design random number value even though the numerical value is different from the right design random number value or the reach random number counter determines that there is no reach. In such a case, since the stop special symbol is set in accordance with the result of the determination of the success / failure and the presence / absence of reach, the random number value acquired by each random number counter may not be set as a special symbol as it is (described later) Refer to the symbol selection process).

  Examples of the random number counter provided on the sub control board (sub control device) 205 include an effect mode random number counter, a comment notice random number counter, an effect random number counter, a comment random number counter, and a color selection random number counter. The effect mode random number counter is used when determining the presence / absence of execution of a predetermined effect and the mode of effect to be executed based on the variation command transmitted from the main control board 200, and the effect modes of “0” to “199” Has a random value. The effect mode random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on and is incremented by “1” every time a random number update process is performed in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later. It is rewritten and the addition is repeated again.

  The comment notice random number counter is used to determine whether or not to execute the comment notice process described later at the start of fluctuation of the left special symbol, middle special symbol, and right special symbol. Has a random value. The comment notice random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on and is incremented by “1” every time a random number is updated in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later. It is rewritten and the addition is repeated again.

  As will be described later, the comment notice random number value is acquired in the case of a fluctuation pattern in which a comment notice can be made when a change command is received from the main control board 200 (see FIG. 21). In contrast to '3', if they match, a comment notice is established, that is, it is determined to execute the comment notice process, and if they do not match, it is determined not to execute the comment notice process (see FIG. 23).

  The effect random number counter is used when determining a character that appears as an example of the effect image element in the comment notice, and has an effect random number value of “0” to “99”. The effect random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on and is incremented by “1” every time a random number update process is performed in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later, and when it reaches “99”, it is rewritten to “0”. The above addition is repeated again. As will be described later, the effect random number value is acquired when the fluctuation pattern allows a comment notice when a fluctuation command is received from the main control board 200 (see FIG. 21). Here, the “character” refers to a person, an animal, or the like appearing in the contents of the game machine, and is expressed by a live action, animation, CG (computer graphics), or the like.

  The comment random number counter is used when determining a comment to be displayed at the time of comment notice, and has a comment random number value of “0” to “99”. The comment random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on and is incremented by “1” every time a random number update process is performed in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later. When it reaches “99”, it is rewritten to “0”. The above addition is repeated again. As will be described later, the comment random number value is acquired in the case of a variation pattern in which a comment notice can be made when a variation command is received from the main control board 200 (see FIG. 21).

  The color selection random number counter is used when selecting the character color of the comment displayed in the comment notice, and has color selection random number values of “0” to “99”. The color selection random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on and is incremented by “1” every time random number update processing is performed in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later. It is rewritten and the addition is repeated again. As will be described later, the color selection random number value is acquired when a variation pattern that allows a comment notice is received when a variation command is received from the main control board 200 (see FIG. 21).

  Here, the game of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described. In the gaming machine 1, when the game balls launched by the launching device 64 toward the game area 6 win the various winning holes, a predetermined number of gaming balls corresponding to the winning holes become the upper balls receiving tray 36 as the winning balls. To be paid out. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol fluctuation start gate 55, the normal symbol starts to change in the normal symbol display device 50, and stops after a predetermined time fluctuation. At that time, in the case of a normal symbol, “◯” is displayed on the normal symbol display device 50, and the two opening / closing members 42A and 42B of the start winning opening 42 are substantially vertical by the starting winning opening solenoid on the back. It changes from a narrow open state where it is difficult to win a prize to an expanded and open state where it is easy to win a substantially V-shaped (reverse C-shaped), making it easier for a game ball to win. When a game ball enters the start winning port 42 and is detected (wins) by the start winning port detection switch, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a winning ball.

  Further, numerical data such as a jackpot random number value, a reach random number value, a variation pattern random number value, etc. are acquired due to the winning of the game ball in the start winning opening 42. The acquired random number value (numerical data) is stored in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200, and the special symbol variation, the determination of the success / failure and the display of the determination result are suspended, and the jackpot random value (numerical value) Number of data), that is, the number of winnings in the starting winning opening (starting winning area) 42 is stored in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 as the special symbol variation holding ball number.

  When there is storage (holding) of random numbers (numerical data) in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200, determination of whether or not to win a jackpot, determination of reach or not, etc. are performed before starting the special symbol variation display. At the same time, a variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern table based on the variation pattern determination random value or the like, and the variation display of the special symbol is started on the display unit 11 based on the selected variation pattern. The special symbol variation display is started in order according to the acquisition order of the random value (numerical data) stored in the RAM (holding storage means), that is, the order in which the winning winning opening 42 is won, that is, in chronological order. Is done. Further, the stored random number value (game information) is erased from the RAM (holding storage means) based on the determination as to whether or not the determination is successful.

  After a lapse of a predetermined time (variation time set for each variation pattern) from the start of the variation display of the special symbol, the variation of the special symbol is stopped, and the jackpot determination result is displayed on the display unit 11.

  When the determination result is a big hit, the special symbol is stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 at a scale such as “5, 5, 5”. When the jackpot is reached, a special game (a jackpot game) is executed. In the special game state (big hit game state), the open / close plate 46 of the above-mentioned winning prize opening 45 is opened to make it easier to receive the game ball falling on the surface of the gaming area 6 and to be able to win the winning prize opening 45, When there is a prize at the big prize opening 45, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls. The opening / closing plate 46 is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number, and the opening / closing plate 46 is repeatedly opened and closed for a predetermined round (predetermined number of times).

  In this embodiment, it is set to 15 rounds (15R), and in the case of a big hit, the opening / closing of the big winning prize opening 45 is repeated 15 rounds. If the jackpot is a regular jackpot (an even number of special symbols), after the jackpot game is over, the game is put into a short-running state until a hit / fail judgment is made a maximum of 100 times. If the jackpot is a promising jackpot (an odd number of special symbols), after the jackpot game is over, the player is placed in a probabilistic state (high probability state) and a short time state until the next jackpot.

  Next, the control process of the gaming machine 1 will be described. Examples of main flags provided on the main control board (main control device) 200 include a jackpot flag, a jackpot end flag, a probability change flag, a time reduction flag, and the like.

  The main control board 200 performs control processing by the CPU of the microcomputer in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of main processing performed by the main control board 200.

  In the main process, first, device initial setting (S10) is performed. In the device initial setting (S10), stack setting, interrupt time setting, CPU setting, SIO, PIO, CTC setting and the like are performed. Note that the processing required only when the power is turned on is executed only in the first round, and is not executed after that.

  Next, an interrupt prohibition process (S20), a main random number update process (S30), and an interrupt permission process (S40) are performed, and then a loop process that returns to the interrupt prohibition process (S20) is performed again. Interrupt processing (S100) is performed.

  In the interrupt prohibition process (S20), even if an interrupt process (S100) is entered every 4 msec, the interrupt is prohibited until the interrupt is permitted. In the next main random number update process (S30), various random numbers are incremented by one for each main random number update process (S30), and when the random number reaches the set upper limit value as described above, it returns to the minimum value and is added again. Is done. The updated random number is stored in the RAM of the main control board 200. In the interrupt permission process (S40), the interrupt process (S100) that enters every 4 msec is permitted.

  In the interrupt process (S100), as shown in FIG. 5, output process (S110), input process (S120), normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S130), winning detection process (S140), normal operation process (S150), special operation processing (S160), reserved ball number processing (S170), and other processing (S180) are performed in order.

  In the output process (S110), an output command (control signal) set in each process, acquired numerical data, and the like are transmitted to each control board. In the input process (S120), signal input is performed when various sensors (switches) attached to the gaming machine 1 are detected. In the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S130), the same process as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S30) performed in the loop process in the main process is performed.

  In the winning detection process (S140), as shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not a winning at the start winning opening 42 has been detected (S140-1). It is determined whether or not a game ball passage to the gate 55 is detected (S140-2). When the game ball passage to the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is not detected, the winning detection process (S140) is ended. On the other hand, when the game ball passing to the normal symbol variation start gate 55 is detected, it is determined whether the number of the normal symbol variation holding balls is 4 or more (S140-3). The process (S140) ends. On the other hand, if the number of normal symbol variation reservation balls is less than 4, 1 is added to the number of normal symbol variation reservation balls (S140-4), the normal symbol random number value is acquired, and the acquired normal symbol random number value is the main control. It is stored in the corresponding area (address) in the RAM of the substrate 200 (S140-5), and this winning detection process (S140) is completed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S140-1 that a winning at the start winning opening 42 has been detected, it is determined whether the number of special symbol variation holding balls is 4 or more (S140-6). The detection process (S140) ends. On the other hand, if the number of special symbol variation reservation balls is less than four, 1 is added to the number of special symbol variation retention balls (S140-7), and a jackpot random number value, a reach random number value, a variation pattern random number value, etc. are acquired. It is stored in the corresponding area (address) of the RAM (holding storage means) of the control board 200 (S140-8), and this winning detection process (S140) is completed.

  In the normal operation process (S150), as shown in FIG. 7, first, it is confirmed whether the open / close members 42A and 42B provided on both sides of the start winning opening 42 are open (S150-1). If the opening / closing members 42A and 42B are closed (narrow open state), it is confirmed whether or not the normal symbol variation holding ball number is 0 (S150-2), and if it is 0, the normal operation process (S150) is ended. . On the other hand, if the number of normal symbol variation holding balls is not 0, the normal symbol acquired in the normal symbol random number acquisition processing (S140-5) of the winning detection processing (S140) and stored in the RAM of the main control board 200. The random number value is read (S150-3), and it is confirmed whether or not the current time is short (high probability state where the lottery probability per normal symbol is 1/5) (S150-4).

  If it is not the short-time state, that is, if the lottery probability per normal symbol is a low probability state of 1/300, the acquired normal symbol random number value is compared with the established value per normal symbol in the low probability state of 1/300. If they match, it is determined that the symbols are normal symbols in a low probability state of 1/300, and if they do not match, it is determined that the symbols are not normal symbols (S150-5). The normal operation process (S150) ends when the normal symbol is out, while the normal opening / closing member 42A, 42B is opened at the opening time of 1 second and the number of times of opening once when the normal symbol is hit. The release process 1 is performed (S150-6), and then the normal operation process (S150) is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S150-4 that the time is short, that is, the lottery probability per normal symbol is 1/5, the acquired normal symbol random number is 1/5. Compared with the established value per normal symbol in the high probability state, it is confirmed whether or not they match. If they match, the normal symbol is 1/5 in the high probability state. It is judged (S150-7). The normal operation process (S150) ends when the normal symbol is off. On the other hand, when the normal symbol hits, the open / close member 42A, 42B is opened for 2 seconds and opened three times. The release process 2 is performed (S150-8), and then the normal operation process (S150) ends.

  If it is determined in S150-1 that the opening and closing members 42A and 42B are open, it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the opening and closing members 42A and 42B has passed (finished) (S150-9), and the opening and closing members 42A and 42B are opened. When the time has not elapsed, the normal operation process (S150) is ended. On the other hand, when the opening time of the opening and closing members 42A and 42B has elapsed, the opening and closing members 42A and 42B are closed (narrow open state). Is performed) (S150-10), and thereafter, the normal operation process (S150) ends.

  In the special operation process (S160), as shown in FIG. 8, it is determined which of the special operation status is 1 to 4 (S160-1 to S160-3). When the special operation status is 1, a special symbol standby process (S160-4) is performed. When the special operation status is 2, a changing process (S160-5) is performed, and the special operation status is In the case of 3, the special symbol confirmation process (S160-6) is performed, and in the case where the special operation status is 4, the special electric accessory process (S160-7) is performed.

  In the special symbol standby process (S160-4) performed when the special operation status is 1, as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the number of special symbol variation holding balls is 0 (S160-4-1). If the number of symbol variation holding balls is 0, it is determined whether or not the display unit 11 is in a standby screen (standby screen) where the special symbol is not changing (S160-4-2), and in the standby screen (standby screen). If there is, the special symbol standby process (S160-4) ends. On the other hand, when it is not in the standby screen (standby screen), standby screen setting processing (S160-4-3) for making the display unit 11 into the standby screen (standby screen) is performed, and the display unit 11 is in the standby screen. (S160-4-4), and then the special symbol standby process (S160-4) is completed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-1 that the number of special symbol variation holding balls is not 0, special symbol jackpot determination processing (S160-4-5) is performed. In the special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5), as shown in FIG. 10, first, the main control acquired in the special symbol-related random number value acquisition process (S140-8) of the winning detection process (S140). Of the jackpot random number values stored in the RAM (holding storage means) of the substrate 200, the first jackpot random number value is read (S160-4-5-1), and it is confirmed whether the current probability variation state (high probability state). (S160-4-5-2).

  In the case of a low probability state that is not a probabilistic state in S160-4-5-2, the acquired jackpot random number value is compared with the jackpot formation value in the low probability state to confirm whether or not both match, Is a big hit in the low probability state, and if they do not match, it is determined that they are out (S160-4-5-3). In the case of losing, this special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends, whereas in the case of a jackpot, the jackpot flag is set to ON (S160-4-5-4). The symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-5-2 that the probability change is high (high probability state), whether the acquired jackpot random number value is compared with the jackpot value in the high probability state and the two match? If it is confirmed and matches, it is a big hit in the high probability state, and if it does not match, it is determined that it is out (S160-4-5-5). In the case of losing, this special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends, whereas in the case of a jackpot, the jackpot flag is set to ON (S160-4-5-4). The symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) ends. This special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5) corresponds to an example of the process of the privilege grant determination means in the present invention for determining whether or not a game is appropriate due to the establishment of the determination condition.

  Following the special symbol jackpot determination process (S160-4-5), a special symbol selection process (S160-4-6) is performed. In the special symbol selection process (S160-4-6), the special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11 is determined. First, in the special symbol selection process (S160-4-6), as shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether the jackpot flag is ON (S160-4-6-1). A special symbol based on the jackpot symbol random number is set as a stop special symbol (S160-4-4-2). On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is not ON, that is, when it is off, the left / middle / right symbol random number counter (hereinafter, the left symbol random value is referred to as special symbol data 1, medium symbol). Random number value is acquired as special symbol data 2 and right symbol random value is referred to as special symbol data 3) (S160-4-6-3), and random numbers of special symbol data 1, special symbol data 2, and special symbol data 3 are obtained. Are consistent (S160-4-6-4). If they are consistent, it is determined whether the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value (S160-4-6-5).

  When the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value, the reach is present, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is added to the random value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 by one. The special symbol assigned to the random number value is set to the special symbol for stoppage, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 3 is set to the special symbol for stoppage (S160-4-6-6). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, there is no reach, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned to the random symbol value obtained by adding 1 to the random symbol value of the special symbol data “3” and the special symbol data 3 being stopped is set as the special symbol for the right stop (S160-4-6-7).

  If it is determined in S160-4-6-4 that the random numbers of the special symbol data 1, 2 and 3 do not match, it is determined whether the random values of the special symbol data 1 and 3 match. (S160-4-6-8). If the random numbers of the special symbol data 1 and 3 match, it is determined whether the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value (S160-4-6-9). When the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value, the reach is present, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the stop left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol that is assigned to the random symbol value of the special symbol data 3 that is the special symbol that is stopped and the special symbol data 3 is set to the special symbol that is stopped right (S160-4-6-10). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, there is no reach, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol assigned to the random symbol value obtained by adding 1 to the random symbol value of the special symbol data “3” and the special symbol data 3 being stopped is set as the special symbol for the right stop (S160-4-6-7).

  If it is determined in S160-4-6-8 that the random numbers of the special symbol data 1 and 3 do not match, that is, the special symbol data 1, 2, and 3 are all different, the reach random number value is It is determined whether or not it matches the established numerical value (S160-4-6-11). If the reach random number value matches the reach establishment value, the reach is present, and the special symbol data 1 and the special symbol data 3 values are assigned to the special symbol data 1 or the special symbol data 3 random values. The special symbol assigned to the random value obtained by adding 1 to the random number value of the special symbol data 1 or the special symbol data 3 that is made the same as the special symbol data 1 or the special symbol data 3 is set. Is set as a special symbol during stoppage (S160-4-6-12). On the other hand, if the reach random number value does not match the reach establishment value, there is no reach, and the special symbol assigned to the random value of the special symbol data 1 is assigned to the random number value of the left special symbol and the special symbol data 2 The special symbol being assigned is the special symbol being stopped, and the special symbol assigned to the random number value of the special symbol data 3 is set as the special symbol for the right stop (S160-4-6-10).

  Subsequently, special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S160-4-7) is performed. In the special symbol variation pattern creation process (S160-4-7), as shown in FIG. 12, it is confirmed whether the gaming state is in the normal state (low probability state) or the probability variation state (high probability state) (S160-4). -7-1). In the normal state, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag is ON (whether or not the determination result is big hit) (S160-4-7-2). The variation pattern random value stored in the memory in the first reading order is loaded, and the variation pattern that matches the variation pattern random value in the hit table in the normal state is selected (S160-4-7-3). ).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S160-4-7-2 that the big hit flag is not ON (the determination result is not right), the first in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 The reach random number value is loaded and compared with the reach establishment value, and if both match, reach is determined, and if not match, reach is not determined (S160-4-7-4). When the reach is present, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation pattern that matches the variation pattern random number value in the reach lose table in the normal state is selected. (S160-4-7-5). If it is determined in S160-4-7-4 that there is no reach, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation in the loss table during the normal state. A variation pattern that matches the pattern random value is selected (S160-4-7-6).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-7-1 that the probability variation state (high probability state) is in progress, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag is ON (whether or not the result of the determination is a big hit) (S160-4-7-7). When the flag is ON, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation pattern that matches the variation pattern random number value in the hit table in the probability variation state is selected. (S160-4-7-8). On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-4-7-7 that the big hit flag is not ON (the determination result is not right), the first in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 The reach random number value is loaded and compared with the reach establishment value, and if both match, reach is determined, and if not match, reach is not determined (S160-4-7-9).

  If it is determined in S160-4-7-9 that the reach is present, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation in the reach loss table in the probability variation state. A variation pattern that matches the pattern random value is selected (S160-4-7-10). If it is determined in S160-4-7-9 that there is no reach, the first variation pattern random number value in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is loaded, and the variation in the loss table during the probability variation state. A variation pattern that matches the pattern random value is selected (S160-4-7-11). After selecting the variation pattern, the variation command of the selected variation pattern is stored in the transmission buffer (S160-4-7-12), and other necessary processing (S160-4-7-13) is performed. The special symbol variation pattern creation process (S160-4-7) ends. Note that the variation command selected here is transmitted to the sub-control board 205.

  Following the special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S160-4-7), special symbol random number shift processing (S160-4-8) is performed. In the special symbol random number shift process (S160-4-8), in the data storage area of the special symbol variation holding ball number in the RAM of the main control board 200, it is stored in the storage area of the address with the highest load (reading) order. Due to the fact that data such as special symbol main random number values (big hit random number values, reach random number values, fluctuation pattern random number values) are loaded in the previous processing and become vacant, the loading order will be the second and subsequent addresses With respect to data such as the stored special symbol main random number values (big hit random number values, reach random number values, fluctuation pattern random number values), the address is shifted up by one.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, first, the RAM of the main control board 200 is displayed by changing the display of the special symbol (identification symbol) based on the determination result of the success / failure determination unit (privilege determination unit). 1 is subtracted from the number of the special symbol variation reserved balls stored in the above (for example, 2 for the number of reserved balls is set to 1 and 3 is set to 2) (S160-4-8-1). The data corresponding to the number of balls held is shifted to the RAM address of the number of balls held by subtracting 1 from the number of balls held (S160-4-8-2), followed by the lowest (loading order last, this embodiment) In this case, 0 is set to the RAM address corresponding to the number of reserved balls (S160-4-8-3).

  Following the special symbol random number shift process (S160-4-8), a special symbol variation start setting process (S160-4-9) is performed. In the special symbol fluctuation start setting process (S160-4-9), setting such as preparation of a command necessary for starting the fluctuation of the special symbol is performed, and the fluctuation start command is set in the output buffer. After the special symbol variation start setting process (S160-4-9), the special operation status is set to 2 (S160-4-10), the waiting state is canceled (S160-4-11), and the special symbol is set. The standby process (S160-4) ends.

  In the changing process (S160-5) performed when the special operation status is 2, as shown in FIG. 14, a special operation timer determination process is performed (S160-5-1). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol (the variation time of the variation pattern) has ended (whether or not the operation timer = 0) (S160-5-2). The changing process (S160-5) ends. On the other hand, if the fluctuation time has ended, a fluctuation stop command is set in the output buffer (S160-5-3). Subsequently, after the special operation status is set to 3 (S160-5-4) and other necessary processing (S160-5-5) is performed, this in-fluctuation processing (S160-5) ends.

  In the special symbol determination process (S160-6) performed when the special operation status is 3, as shown in FIG. 15, it is first determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (“1”), that is, whether or not the big hit flag. (S160-6-1). When the jackpot flag is ON, that is, when the jackpot is big, a round counter per 15R is set (S160-6-2), and the special operation status is set to 4 (S160-6-3). (S160-6) ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-6-1 that the jackpot flag is OFF, that is, it is out of place, the special action status is set to 1 (S160-6-4), and this special symbol confirmation process (S160-6) ) Ends.

  In the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) performed when the special operation status is 4, as shown in FIG. 16, the probability variation flag is turned off (S160-7-1), and the jackpot opening has been performed. No. (whether or not a video indicating that a big hit is to be started is displayed on the display unit 11) is confirmed (S160-7-2). If the jackpot opening is not performed, the jackpot opening is performed, or if it is confirmed that the jackpot opening is performed, then whether the jackpot end flag is ON (“1”) or not It is judged (S160-7-3).

  When the jackpot end flag is not ON, that is, when the jackpot game is not ended, it is determined whether or not the big winning opening 45 is currently open (S160-7-4). It is determined whether or not it is the opening time of the special winning opening 45 (S160-7-5). In the case of the opening time of the big winning opening 45, the opening process of the big winning opening is performed (S160-7-6), and then this special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended. On the other hand, when it is not the opening time of the special winning opening 45, the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S160-7-4 that the big winning opening 45 is open, ten game balls are won in the big winning opening 45 (S160-7-7), or the round end time has elapsed (S160-7). Whether it is any of (8) to (8), and if not, the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is terminated. On the other hand, when 10 game balls are won in the big winning opening 45 or the round end time has elapsed, the big winning opening closing process (S160-7-9) and the value of the round counter are decremented by one. (S160-7-10) is performed (as described above, since the number of rounds of the jackpot game is 15R in this embodiment, subtraction is started from 15). In the special winning opening closing process (S160-7-9), the special winning opening closing command is set in the output buffer.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the round counter is 0 (S160-7-11). If the round counter is not 0, the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended as it is, When the round counter is 0, jackpot end processing (S160-7-12) is performed. Thereafter, the jackpot end flag is turned ON (S160-7-13), and the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is ended.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot end flag is ON (“1”) in S160-7-3, that is, when the jackpot end flag is determined to be ended, the process of setting the jackpot end flag to OFF (S160-7-14) and the jackpot flag Is turned off (S160-7-15), and then it is confirmed whether the special symbols that have stopped in a rounded pattern are probability variation symbols (odd numbers) (S160-7-16). If the stopped special symbol is a probability variation symbol, the probability variation flag is turned ON again (S160-7-17). Thereafter, the special operation status is set to 1 (S160-7-18), and this special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is completed. On the other hand, in S160-7-16, if the stopped special symbol is not a probability variation symbol, the special operation status is set to 1 without turning the probability variation flag ON (while it is in the OFF state) (S160-). 7-18), the special electric accessory processing (S160-7) is completed.

  Following the special operation process (S160), the reserved ball number process (S170) is performed. In the reserved ball number processing (S170), as shown in FIG. 17, the number of reserved balls of the current special figure and normal symbol is loaded (S170-1), and the number of held balls is set as a special figure hold command and a general figure hold command. It is set in the output buffer (S170-2). By this retained ball number processing (S170), the memory related to the retained ball number in the RAM (holding storage means) of the main control board 200 is set to be output to the sub-control board 205.

  After the reserved ball number processing (S170), other processing (S180) is performed. In the other process (S180), various other processes necessary for the game are performed as necessary.

  Next, processing performed by the sub control board 205 will be described. In the sub control main process (S200) performed by the sub control board 205, as shown in FIG. 18, first, a CPU initialization process is performed (S201). Specifically, stack setting, CPU setting, SIO, CTC setting, and the like are performed. When the power-off signal is turned on, it is determined whether or not the content stored in the RAM of the sub-control board 205 is normal (S202). If normal, the loop process is performed as it is. On the other hand, if the content stored in the RAM is not normal, the loop is performed after the RAM is initialized (S203).

  The sub-control board 205 that performs such sub-control main processing (S200) performs reception interrupt processing (S300) as shown in FIG. The reception interrupt process (S300) is a process for receiving a command (control signal) from the main control board 200. In the reception interrupt process (S300), first, it is confirmed whether the strobe (STB) signal from the main control board 200 is ON (S301). When the strobe signal is ON, that is, when the strobe signal is input to the external INT input unit, The command (control signal) output from the main control board 200 is received and stored in the RAM (S302). Here, the commands received from the main control board 200 include a winning command, a variation command, jackpot determination data, hold number data, and the like. On the other hand, if the strobe signal is not ON, the reception interrupt process (S300) is terminated at that time.

  Further, the sub-control board 205 performs a 2 ms timer interrupt process (S400) as shown in FIG. In the 2 ms timer interrupt process (S400), a data output process (S401), an input process (S402), and a watchdog timer process (S403) are performed. In the data output process (S401), a process for generating and outputting a lamp lighting pattern, a sound pattern, and the like every 2 ms, and control data for driving a driven object are generated. In the input process (S402), for example, the operation status of the game button switch 67 is input. In the watchdog timer process (S403), a process for resetting the watchdog timer is performed.

  Further, the sub-control board 205 performs a 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500) as shown in FIG. In the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500), the switch state acquisition process (S501), the command reception permission confirmation process (S502), the lower dish state confirmation process (S503), the loop scenario resetting process (S504), and the command monitoring process (S505) Comment notice processing (S506), lamp processing (S507), switch processing (S508), command transmission processing (S509), and the like are performed.

  In the switch state acquisition process (S501), the switch data created in the 2 ms timer interrupt process is stored as switch data for the 10 ms timer interrupt process. In the command reception permission confirmation process (S502), a determination of the effect prohibition period such as when the RAM is cleared is performed. In the lower dish state confirmation process (S503), a timer for full notification of the lower ball tray 37 is set. In the loop scenario resetting process (S504), effects are set at regular intervals such as a customer waiting effect.

  In the command monitoring process (S505), a command (control signal) received from the main control board 200 is analyzed, and a process corresponding to the command is performed. As shown in FIG. 22, in the command monitoring process (S505), it is first determined whether a command (control signal) has been received from the main control board 200 (S505-1). When no command is received from the main control board 200, the command monitoring process (S505) ends.

  On the other hand, when a command is received from the main control board 200, it is determined whether or not the command is the above-mentioned variation command (S505-2), and when it is not a variation command, it is determined whether or not it is a variation start command (S505). -3). If it is neither a change command nor a change start command, it is determined whether or not it is a change stop command (S505-4). If it is neither a change command, a change start command, nor a change stop command, it is determined whether or not it is a customer waiting command (S505-5). If the command is not a change command, a change start command, a change stop command, or a customer waiting command, other command processing is executed (S505-6), and the command monitoring processing (S505) ends.

  On the other hand, if the received command is a customer waiting command in S505-5, customer waiting command processing is performed (S505-7), and the command monitoring processing (S505) ends. The customer waiting command process (S505-7) includes, for example, a process of controlling the audio control board 220 so that the volume of the music fades out if the music is in the music. In the customer waiting command process (S505-7), the special symbol and the normal symbol are stopped when there is no hold for determining whether or not the jackpot and the normal symbol are hit in the main process (when all the holds are consumed). After that, the command is transmitted from the main control board 200.

  If the received command is a variation command in S505-2 (S505-2), it is determined whether or not the command is a variation command of a variation pattern capable of providing a comment notice effect (S505-8). Specifically, for example, a hit table (usually a big hit table), a reach lose table (normal reach off table), or a lose table (normal lose table) that is not in a short-time state or a probable change state and in a normal state. It is determined whether or not the command is a variation command of any variation pattern. And when it is judged that it is not the fluctuation command of the fluctuation pattern which can perform comment notice effect, command monitoring processing (S505) is completed after change command processing (S505-9) is performed.

  This variation command processing (S505-9) is based on the variation pattern set in the special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S160-4-7), and more specific effects (so-called using the display device 10). Reach production, etc.) is selected / executed, the production mode (production pattern) is determined using the production mode random number counter, etc., and a bonus (usually big hit or probable big hit) is given or missed. This is a notification process.

  On the other hand, when the received variation command is a variation command of a variation pattern that can provide a comment announcement effect, the comment command determination processing (S505-10) is performed, and then the variation command processing (S505-9) is performed. Then, the command monitoring process (S505) ends.

  Here, in the comment advance notice determination process (S505-10), as shown in FIG. 23, first, in order to determine whether or not to execute the comment advance notice process (S506), comments of “0” to “49” are used. One comment notice random number value among the notice random numbers is acquired from the comment notice random number counter and stored in the RAM (S505-10-1). Then, in order to determine the character appearing in the comment notice, one effect random value among the effect random numbers from “0” to “99” is acquired from the effect random number counter and stored in the RAM (S505-10). -2).

  Subsequently, in order to determine a comment to be displayed at the time of comment notice, one comment random value among the comment random numbers from “0” to “99” is acquired from the comment random number counter and stored in the RAM. (S505-10-3). Then, in order to determine the character color of the comment displayed in the comment notice, one color selection random value among the color selection random values from “0” to “99” is acquired from the color selection random number counter and stored in the RAM. Stored (S505-10-4).

  Thereafter, the comment notice random number value acquired in S505-10-1 is read from the RAM again, and whether or not the comment notice is established, that is, whether or not it matches the comment notice establishment value “3”. It is judged (S505-10-5). When it is determined that the comment notice is established, that is, when it is determined that the comment notice random number value matches the comment notice establishment value “3” (S505-10-5), the comment notice flag is read from the RAM. After being set and set to “ON” and stored in the RAM again, the comment advance notice determination process (S505-10) ends. Note that the comment notice flag is set to OFF when the gaming machine 1 is activated and stored in the RAM of the sub control board 205.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the comment notice is not established, that is, when it is determined that the comment notice random number value does not match the comment notice establishment value “3” (S505-10-5), the comment notice determination process. (S505-10) ends. Therefore, the comment notice flag is set to “OFF” and stored in the RAM.

  If the received command is a change start command in S505-3 (S505-3), the change start flag is read from the RAM, set to “ON”, and stored in the RAM again. At the same time, the fluctuation stop flag is read from the RAM, set to “OFF” and stored again in the RAM (S505-11), and the command monitoring process (S505) ends. Thereby, in the above-mentioned change command processing (S505-9), change display of the left special symbol 81A, the middle special symbol 81B, and the right special symbol 81C is started. The variation start flag is set to OFF when the gaming machine 1 is activated and stored in the RAM of the sub control board 205. In addition, the variable stop flag is set to ON when the gaming machine 1 is activated and stored in the RAM of the sub control board 205.

  In S505-4, if the received command is a change stop command (S505-4), the change start flag is read from the RAM, set to "OFF", and stored in the RAM again. At the same time, the fluctuation stop flag is read from the RAM, set to “ON” and stored again in the RAM (S505-12), and the command monitoring process (S505) ends. As a result, in the change command process (S505-9), the left special symbol 81A, the middle special symbol 81B, and the right special symbol 81C that have been temporarily changed are changed and stopped, and a big hit or miss is notified.

  After this command monitoring process (S505), a comment notice process (S506) described later is executed (see FIGS. 24 to 31). In the comment notice process (S506), as will be described later, so-called comment notice notice effect is started almost simultaneously with the start of fluctuation of the three columns of the left special symbol 81A, the middle special symbol 81B, and the right special symbol 81C.

  Then, after the comment notice process (S506), which will be described later, ramp data to be output is created in the ramp process (S507). Thereafter, in the switch process (S508), the switch valid time is managed and the operation is set. Also, processing based on the data stored in the switch status acquisition processing is performed. Subsequently, in the command transmission process (S509), if there is a transmission command, the command is transmitted. As a result, the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500) ends. Note that other processing may be included in the 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S500) in accordance with the function of the gaming machine 1 or the like.

  Next, the comment notice process (S506) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Note that the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 24 and 25 are flowcharts for conceptually explaining a series of processing of the comment advance notice processing (S506), and the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are displayed in a variable manner. This is executed by the sub control board 205 in parallel with the variable command processing (S505-9) and the like. The comment advancement process (S505-6) is set to end during the variable display of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C displayed on the display unit 11 of the display device 10.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in the comment notice process (S506), first, a comment notice flag is read from the RAM, and a determination process for determining whether or not this comment notice flag is set to ON is executed. (S506-1). If it is determined that the comment notice flag is set to OFF, the comment notice process (S506) ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the hold notice flag is set to ON, whether or not the jackpot comment notice is present, that is, whether or not the fluctuation command received in S505-2 is a fluctuation command of the jackpot fluctuation pattern. Is determined (S506-2). Then, if it is determined that the jackpot comment notice is made, the character at the jackpot time is selected based on the effect random number acquired in S505-10-2 and stored in the RAM as a character appearing in the comment notice. (S506-3).

  Specifically, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 26, three types of characters, an A character 82A that imitates a wizard, a B character 82B that imitates a worker, and a C character 82C that imitates a warrior, are pre-sub-control board 205. Is stored in the ROM. Each character 82A-82C means that the reliability which becomes a big hit in this order is high. One of the three types of characters 82A to 82C is selected based on the effect random number value and stored in the RAM as a character that appears in the comment notice.

  For example, when the effect random number value acquired in S505-10-2 is any one of “0” to “4”, the A character 82A is selected, and any one of “5” to “39” is selected. In such a case, the B character 82B is selected, and in any of “40” to “99”, the C character 82C is selected and stored in the RAM as a character appearing in the comment notice (S506-3). . Therefore, at the time of big hit, C character 82C appears with high probability.

  Subsequently, the comment at the time of jackpot is selected based on the comment random number value acquired in S505-10-3 and stored in the RAM as a comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-4). Specifically, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 26, comment 83A of "Be careful, your opponent's arm will stand", comment 83B of "This movie is interesting from now on", "To the dark hunter Three types of comments 83C, “emotion is not necessary”, are stored in advance in the ROM of the sub-control board 205. Each comment 83A-83C means that the reliability which becomes a big hit in this order is high.

  The comments are not limited to the three types of comments 83A to 83C, and four or more types of comments may be stored in the ROM of the sub control board 205 in advance. For example, a comment 83D such as “It is hot today” or a comment 83E “It will be more and more hot” may be stored in advance in the ROM of the sub-control board 205.

  Then, one comment from the three types of comments 83A to 83C is selected based on the comment random number value and stored in the RAM as a comment displayed in the comment notice. For example, when the comment random value acquired in S505-10-3 is any one of “0” to “4”, the comment 83A is selected, and any one of “5” to “39” is selected. At this time, the comment 83B is selected, and when any of “40” to “99”, the comment 83C is selected and stored in the RAM as a comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-4).

  Thereafter, the character color of the comment at the big hit is selected based on the color selection random value acquired in S505-10-4, and is stored in the RAM as the character color of the comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-5). ). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27, four types of character colors of white, blue, green, and red are stored in advance in the ROM of the sub-control board 205. White text color is a normal display mode, blue text color suggests reaching with low probability, and green text color suggests reaching with high probability. This suggests that the red text color is more than reach.

  The character colors are not limited to the four types of white, blue, green, and red, but five or more character colors may be stored in the ROM of the sub-control board 205 in advance. For example, a “rainbow color” suggesting that the super-reach or higher may be stored in the ROM of the sub-control board 205 in advance.

  One character color is selected from the four types of character colors based on the color selection random number value and stored in the RAM as the character color of the comment displayed in the comment notice. For example, when the color selection random number acquired in S505-10-4 is any one of “0” to “4”, white is selected and any one of “5” to “19” is selected. Is selected in blue, green is selected in any of '20' to '49', red is selected in any of '50' to '99', and a comment notice is made. Is stored in the RAM as the character color of the comment displayed in (S506-5).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S506-2 that the comment is not a jackpot comment, it is determined whether or not it is a comment out of reach, that is, the change command received in S505-2 is a change command in a change pattern of out of reach. Is determined (S506-6). If it is determined that the comment is out of reach, the character at the time of out of reach is selected based on the effect random number acquired in S505-10-2, and the character appearing in the comment notice is stored in the RAM. (S506-7).

  For example, when the production random number acquired in S505-10-2 is any one of “0” to “29”, the A character 82A is selected, and any of “30” to “79” is selected. In such a case, the B character 82B is selected, and in any of “80” to “99”, the C character 82C is selected and stored in the RAM as a character appearing in the comment notice (S506-7). . Therefore, the B character 82B appears with a high probability when it is out of reach.

  Subsequently, the comment at the time of unreaching is selected based on the comment random value acquired in S505-10-3 and stored in the RAM as a comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-8). For example, when the comment random value acquired in S505-10-3 is any one of “0” to “29”, the comment 83A is selected, and any one of “30” to “79” is selected. At this time, the comment 83B is selected, and when any of “80” to “99”, the comment 83C is selected and stored in the RAM as a comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-8).

  Thereafter, the character color of the comment at the time of unreach is selected based on the color selection random value acquired in S505-10-4 and stored in the RAM as the character color of the comment displayed in the comment notice (S506). 9). For example, when the color selection random number acquired in S505-10-4 is any one of “0” to “9”, white is selected and any one of “10” to “29” is selected. In the case of blue, blue is selected, in the case of any of “30” to “69”, green is selected, and in the case of any of “70” to “99”, red is selected. Is stored in the RAM as the character color of the comment displayed in (S506-9).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S506-6 that the comment is not out of reach, that is, if it is determined that the comment is out of normal (S506-6), the character at the time of normal out is displayed. It is selected based on the effect random number acquired in S505-10-2 and stored in the RAM as a character that appears in the comment notice (S506-10).

  For example, when the effect random number value acquired in S505-10-2 is any one of “0” to “59”, the A character 82A is selected and any one of “60” to “94” is selected. In the case of B, the B character 82B is selected, and in any of “95” to “99”, the C character 82C is selected and stored in the RAM as a character appearing in the comment notice (S506-10). Therefore, the A character 82A appears with a high probability when it is out of the normal range.

  Subsequently, a comment at the time of normal losing is selected based on the comment random value acquired in S505-10-3 and stored in the RAM as a comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-11). For example, when the comment random value acquired in S505-10-3 is any one of “0” to “59”, the comment 83A is selected, and any one of “60” to “94” is selected. At this time, the comment 83B is selected, and when any of “95” to “99”, the comment 83C is selected and stored in the RAM as a comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-11).

  Thereafter, the character color of the comment when it is out of normal is selected based on the color selection random number value acquired in S505-10-4 and stored in the RAM as the character color of the comment displayed in the comment notice (S506). 12). For example, when the color selection random number acquired in S505-10-4 is any one of “0” to “69”, white is selected and any one of “70” to “94” is selected. In the case of blue, blue is selected, and in any of “95” to “99”, green is selected and stored in the RAM as the character color of the comment displayed in the comment notice (S506-12). Therefore, red is not selected as the character color of the comment when it is not normal.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 25, in S506-13, the fluctuation start flag is read from the RAM, and whether or not the fluctuation start flag is set to “ON”, that is, the left special symbol 81A, the middle special It is determined whether or not the variable display of the symbol 81B and the right special symbol 81C has been started (S5056-13). If it is determined that the fluctuation start flag is not set to “ON”, the process of S506-13 is executed again.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation start flag is set to “ON”, that is, when it is determined that the variation display of the left special symbol 81A, the middle special symbol 81B, and the right special symbol 81C is started (S506). 13) The character appearing in the comment notice is read from the RAM and appears on the front side of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C displayed on the display unit 11 of the display device 10, that is, on the player side. Is displayed (S506-14).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 28, when a C character 82C imitating a warrior is stored in the RAM as a character appearing in the comment notice, the left, middle and right special symbols are displayed on the display unit 11 of the display device 10. While the variation of 81A to 81C is started, the C character 82C is displayed so as to appear on the front side, that is, on the player side, than the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C that are variably displayed (see FIG. 28 (1)-(2)) (S506-14).

  Therefore, when the A character 82A imitating the wizard or the B character 82B imitating the worker is stored in the RAM as the character appearing in the comment notice, the A character 82A or the B character 82B is variably displayed on the left. In the middle, the right special symbols 81A to 81C are displayed so as to appear on the front side (S506-14).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, the character displayed on the front side of the variably displayed left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C performs an action (action) of cutting the background in the left-right direction over almost the entire width. Is displayed (S506-15). For example, as shown in FIG. 28, when the C character 82C imitating a warrior is displayed on the front side of the variably displayed left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, the C character 82C turns and kicks. As a result, the action of tearing the background in the left-right direction over almost the entire width (action) is performed, and the lightning 85 is displayed over the entire width in the left-right direction at substantially the center in the vertical direction of the display unit 11 (FIG. 28 (3)) ( S506-15).

  For example, when an A character 82A that imitates a wizard is displayed on the front side of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, the A character 82 is a magic wand and the background is almost full width in the horizontal direction. In addition to performing a tearing action (action), the lightning 85 is displayed over the entire width in the left-right direction at a substantially central portion in the vertical direction of the display unit 11 (S506-15). Further, for example, when a B character 82B imitating a worker is displayed on the front side of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, the B character 82B makes the background substantially full width in the left-right direction by the electric chain saw. In addition to performing a tearing action (action), the lightning 85 is displayed over the entire width in the left-right direction at a substantially central portion in the vertical direction of the display unit 11 (S506-15).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 25, a substantially horizontally long rectangle that is long in the left-right direction is displayed between the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C that are variably displayed and the character, that is, a comment is displayed on the character background side. A semi-transparent comment display area 86 surrounded by a frame 86A is displayed (S506-16). Thereby, the comment display area 86 can appear on the background side of the character in response to an action (action) in which the character tears the background in substantially the full width in the left-right direction.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 29, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C variably displayed and the C character 82C imitating a warrior, that is, the background side of the C character 82C is long in the left-right direction. A semi-transparent comment display area 86 surrounded by a substantially horizontally long rectangular frame 86A is displayed (FIG. 29 (4)) (S506-16). Accordingly, the comment display area 86 can appear on the background side of the character in response to the action (action) in which the C character 82C cuts the background in the left-right direction almost across the entire width by turning and kicking (FIG. 28 (3)). -FIG. 29 (4)).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, the character displayed on the front side of the semitransparent comment display area 86 surrounded by a substantially horizontally long rectangular frame 86A that is long in the left-right direction moves so as to enter the comment display area 86. It is displayed (S506-17). For example, as shown in FIG. 29, when a C character 82C imitating a warrior is displayed in front of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C that are variably displayed, face the player side. The C character 82C is flipped to the back side and moved and displayed so as to jump to the left in the comment display area 86, and then the upper body is faced to the player side to the left in the comment display area 86. Is displayed (FIGS. 29 (4)-(6)) (S506-17).

  The C character 82C is displayed so that the entire upper body is displayed within the frame 86A, but the head may be displayed outside the frame 86A. As a result, the size of the character displayed on the comment display area 86 can be increased, and the player's interest can be more strongly attracted to the character on the comment display area 86.

  For example, when an A character 82A imitating a wizard or a B character 82B imitating a worker is displayed on the front side of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, an A character 82A or a B character 82B is displayed. However, the player side jumps upward while being faced to the player side, and is moved and displayed so as to jump to the left in the comment display area 86, and then on the player side to the left in the comment display area 86. The upper body is displayed in a state of facing (S506-17).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 25, the comment displayed in the comment display area 86 and the character color of the comment are read from the RAM, and the comment of the character color is displayed in the comment display area 86 on the right side of the character. (S506-18). Further, the character is displayed as if the mouth is moving and speaking the content of the comment displayed on the right side (S506-18).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 29, when a comment 83A of “Watch out for the other party's arm” is read as a comment displayed in the comment display area 86, and “blue” is read out as a comment character color. Is displayed on the right side of the C character 82C imitating a warrior with a comment “A blue”, “Watch out for the other person's arm” (FIG. 29 (6)) (S506-18). Further, the C character 82C is displayed as if the mouth is moving and talking the contents of the comment 83A displayed on the right side (FIG. 29 (6)) (S506-18).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, a signal representing the content of the comment displayed in the comment display area 86 is output to the voice control board 220 and displayed in the comment display area 86 via the speaker 38. The content of the comment is output by voice (S506-19). For example, as shown in FIG. 29, when a comment 83A of “Watch out for your opponent's arm” is displayed in the comment display area 86, “Be careful, your opponent ’s arm is "Tatsuzo" is output. Thus, the player can easily recognize the comment 83A displayed in the comment display area 86, and the character color of the comment 83A is blue, so that the occurrence of the reach state is low probability. It can be easily recognized.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 25, the character located in the translucent comment display area 86 surrounded by the frame 86A jumps out from the comment display area 86, that is, to the player side. (S506-20). Then, the character jumping outward from the comment display area 86 and the comment display area 86 are displayed so as to disappear from the display unit 11, and the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are displayed in a variable manner. Is continuously displayed at the center of the screen (S506-21). Accordingly, the comment display area 86 and the character can be erased in response to the action (action) of the character jumping out from the comment display area 86.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 30, a C character 82C imitating a warrior located on the left side in the comment display area 86 jumps out from the comment display area 86, that is, to the player side. (FIG. 30 (7)) (S506-20). Then, the comment display area 86 shines white, the comment display area 86 and the character 82C are deleted from the display unit 11, and the variable display of the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C is displayed at the center of the display unit 11. It is continuously displayed (FIGS. 30 (7)-(8)) (S506-21). Accordingly, the comment display area 86 and the C character 82C can be extinguished corresponding to the action (action) of the C character 82C jumping out from the comment display area 86 (FIGS. 30 (7) to (8)).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 25, the comment notice flag is read from the RAM, set to “OFF”, and stored again in the RAM (S506-22), and then the comment notice process (S506) ends. To do.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 30, after the fluctuation display of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C is continuously displayed in the central portion of the display unit 11, the fluctuation command is changed to the normal deviation fluctuation pattern in S505-2. In the case of a variation command, for example, the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C are temporarily suspended with normal out-of-sequence symbols such as “3, 5, 1” and the variation stop command is received at S505-4. Then, the change is stopped and a notification that the deviation is confirmed is notified (FIG. 30 (9B)).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, after the fluctuation display of the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C is continuously displayed in the central part of the display unit 11, the fluctuation command is not normally reached in S505-2. In the case of the change command of the change pattern, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C among the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C stop at the winning symbol (for example, “7”). The reach variation state in which only the middle special symbol 81B is varied (FIG. 30 (9A)). When the display time of the reach variation state elapses, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 11 with an outreach symbol such as “7, 6, 7”. After that, when the change stop command is received in S505-4, the change is stopped, and it is notified that the reach failure is confirmed (FIG. 31 (10B)).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, after the fluctuation display of the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C is continuously displayed in the central part of the display unit 11, the fluctuation command is usually a big hit in S505-2. In the case of the change command of the change pattern, among the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C stop at the winning symbol (for example, “7”), and the middle. The reach variation state in which only the special symbol 81B varies (FIG. 30 (9A)). When the display time of the reach fluctuation state has elapsed, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 11 in the form of "7, 7, 7" or the like. After that, when the change stop command is received in S505-4, the change is stopped and the fact that the jackpot is confirmed is notified (FIG. 31 (10A)).

  As described above in detail, in the gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, in the “comment notice process” executed by the sub-control board 205, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C that are variably displayed are displayed on the player side. One of the characters 82A to 82C is displayed. A semi-transparent comment display area 86 surrounded by a substantially horizontally long rectangular frame 86A is displayed between the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C and the characters 82A to 82C. Appears to appear.

  Then, after the C character 82C imitating a warrior is flipped to the back side and moved and displayed so as to jump to the left in the comment display area 86, the C character 82C faces the player side to the left in the comment display area 86. The upper body is displayed in the state of being. Further, the A character 82A imitating the wizard or the B character 82B imitating the worker jumps upward while facing the player side, and jumps to the left in the comment display area 86 from the toes. After being moved and displayed, the upper body is displayed on the left side in the comment display area 86 in a state facing the player side. And any one of each comment 83A-83C is displayed on the right side of each character 82A-82C.

  As a result, after attracting the player's interest to the moving display of a large movement such as a flip to the back side where the characters 82A to 82C appear in the comment display area 86 appearing on the background side, It is possible to attract the contents of the comments 83A to 83C displayed on the right side of 82A to 82C, and display the comments 83A to 83C in the comment display area 86 to indicate the reliability that makes a big hit. It is possible to enhance the preference for comment notice).

  Also, one character selected from the characters 82A to 82C displayed in the comment display area 86, one comment selected from the comments 83A to 83C, and white, blue, green, and red comments The combination of the text color of one comment selected from the text color of the comment indicates the reliability that becomes a big hit. This makes it possible to attract the player's interest to the combination of the character displayed in the comment display area 86, the comment, and the character color of the comment, and the comments 83A to 83C are displayed in the comment display area 86. Thus, it is possible to further enhance the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) that suggests the degree of reliability to be a big hit.

  The comment display area 86 appears in response to an action (action) in which the C character 82C imitating a warrior turns and kicks the background in the left-right direction almost across the entire width. The comment display area 86 appears corresponding to an action (action) in which the A character 82A imitating a wizard uses a magic wand to cut the background in the left-right direction over almost the entire width. In addition, the comment display area 86 appears in response to an action (action) in which the B character 82B imitating the worker cuts the background in the left-right direction almost over the entire width by the electric chain saw.

  Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the action (action) in which each character 82A to 82C cuts the background in the left-right direction over almost the entire width, and each comment 83A to 83C is placed in the comment display area 86. It is possible to further enhance the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) indicating the reliability that is a big hit.

  In addition, after one of the comments 83A to 83C is displayed in the comment display area 86, a character positioned in the translucent comment display area 86 surrounded by the frame 86A is displayed in the comment display area. 86 is displayed so as to jump out from the inside, that is, to the player side. Thereafter, the character and the comment display area 86 are displayed so as to disappear from the display unit 11, and the variable display of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81 </ b> A to 81 </ b> C is continuously displayed in the center of the display unit 11.

  Thereby, the player's interest can be attracted to the large movement of each character 82A to 82C moving outward from the comment display area 86, and each comment 83A to 83C is displayed in the comment display area 86 to win a big hit. It is possible to further increase the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) that suggests a certain degree of reliability.

  In addition, when one comment is displayed among the comments 83A to 83C on the right side of the character displayed in the comment display area 86, the character moves the mouth and displays the content of the comment displayed on the right side. Appears as if speaking. In addition, the content of the comment displayed on the right side of the character is output through the speaker 38 as audio. Thereby, it is possible to further enhance the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) that displays the comments 83 </ b> A to 83 </ b> C in the comment display area 86 and suggests the reliability that is a big hit.

  In addition, since the comment display area 86 is translucent, the left and middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C displayed on the back side of the comment display area 86 can be visually recognized and the background can be visually recognized. It is possible to further enhance the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) indicating the reliability that is a big hit by displaying the comment.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Of course, various improvement and deformation | transformation are possible within the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the following may be used.

[Other first embodiment]
(A) For example, in S506-4, S506-8, and S506-11, two comments may be selected from the comments 83A to 83C. In S506-5, S506-9, and S506-12, the character color of each of the two comments may be selected. Then, after the above steps S506-14 to S506-19 are executed, the above steps S506-14 to S506-19 are executed again, and two comment display areas 86 are displayed on the top and bottom or the left and right of the display unit 11. In each comment display area 86, the character and each comment may be displayed in a set character color.

  And the reliability which becomes a big hit may be suggested by the combination of the character displayed in each comment display area 86, the comment, and the character color of a comment. This makes it possible to attract the player's interest to the combination of the character displayed in the comment display area 86, the comment, and the character color of the comment, and the comments 83A to 83C are displayed in the comment display area 86. Thus, it is possible to further enhance the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) that suggests the degree of reliability to be a big hit.

[Other Second Embodiment]
(B) Also, for example, in S506-13, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C stop at the winning symbol (for example, “7”), and only the middle special symbol 81B changes. It may be determined whether or not the state has changed. When it is determined that the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C are stopped at the winning symbol (for example, “7”) and only the middle special symbol 81B is fluctuating, the reach variation state is reached. The processes after S506-14 may be executed. As a result, it is possible to execute the reach fluctuation result, that is, the notice effect (comment notice notice) that suggests the reliability that will be a big hit, and increase the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) that suggests the reliability that will be a big hit. It becomes possible.

[Other third embodiment]
(C) Further, for example, a plurality of kinds of semi-transparent colors in the comment display area 86, for example, semi-transparent blue, semi-transparent green, semi-transparent red, semi-transparent rainbow, etc. are ROM of the sub-control board 205. May be stored in advance. In S <b> 506-16, the comment display area 86 may be displayed in one translucent color selected from a plurality of types of translucent colors. Then, the reliability that is a big hit may be suggested by the combination of the translucent color of the comment display area 86, the character displayed in the comment display area 86, the comment, and the character color of the comment.

This makes it possible to attract the player's interest to the combination of the translucent color of the comment display area 86, the character displayed in the comment display area 86, the comment, and the character color of the comment. It is possible to further enhance the preference for the notice effect (comment notice notice) indicating the reliability that is a big hit by displaying the comments 83A to 83C in the area 86.
(D) Moreover, although embodiment which actualized the gaming machine concerning this invention was demonstrated above, a gaming machine can also have the following structures, and there exists the following effect in that case.
(Additional remark 1) For example, the gaming machine according to the first configuration determines whether or not to grant a privilege based on the game information acquisition means for acquiring game information based on the establishment of the start condition, and the game information. A privilege grant judging means for judging, a notifying means for notifying the judgment result of the privilege grant judging means by displaying an identification symbol in a predetermined manner in which it can be discriminated whether or not the privilege is given, Notice display control means for controlling to display a notice effect that suggests the determination result until the identification symbol is displayed in a mode, wherein the notice display control means displays effect image elements and comments. After the comment display area is displayed, the effect image element is moved into the comment display area and the notice effect including the effect content displayed in the comment display area is displayed. And controlling so.
