First, the main control unit 300 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, a ROM 306 for storing control programs and various data, and temporary data. RAM 308 for storing data, I / O 310 for controlling input / output of various devices, counter timer 312 for measuring time and frequency, and WDT 314 for monitoring abnormalities in program processing are mounted. . Note that another storage device may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and this is the same for the first sub-control unit 400 described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined period output from the crystal oscillator 316b as a system clock.

  The basic circuit 302 includes a random value generation circuit 318 for deriving a numerical value in the range of 0 to 65535 every time a clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 316a is received (this circuit includes two random value generation circuits). And a predetermined ball detection sensor, for example, a sensor that detects a game ball passing through each start port, a winning port, a variable winning port, a door opening of a front frame door opening sensor, an inner frame opening sensor, etc. A sensor circuit 322 for receiving signals output from various sensors 320 including a sensor and a full plate sensor, and outputting a comparison result with an amplification result and a reference voltage to the random value generation circuit 318 and the basic circuit 302; A drive circuit 324 for performing display control of a symbol display device such as the first special symbol display device 212 or the second special symbol display device 214, and a predetermined symbol display device such as the universal symbol display device 21.

  The random value generation circuit 318 generates a random value used in the basic circuit 302. Random number generation in the random value generation circuit 318 can be broadly divided into two types of methods: counter mode and random number mode. In the counter mode, a numerical value that is counted up (down) at a predetermined time interval is acquired, and the numerical value is derived as a random number. There are two more methods in the random number mode. The first method in the random number mode performs an operation using a predetermined function (for example, a modulus function) using a seed of random numbers, and derives the operation result as a random number. In the second method, a numerical value is read from a random number table in which numerical values in the range of 0 to 65535 are randomly arranged, and the read numerical value is derived as a random number.

  The random value generation circuit 318 acquires an irregular value using white noise superimposed on a signal input from the various sensors 320 to the sensor circuit 322. The random value generation circuit 318 uses the acquired value as an initial value of a counter that counts up (down) in the counter mode, uses it as a seed of random numbers, or determines a read start position of the random number table. .

  When the ball detection sensor 320 detects that a ball has won the first special figure starting port 230, the sensor circuit 322 outputs a signal indicating that the ball has been detected to the random value generation circuit 318. The random value generation circuit 318 that has received this signal latches the value at that timing of the random value generation circuit corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230, and the latched value is incorporated in the random value generation circuit 318. It is stored in a random value storage register corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230. Similarly, when the random number generation circuit 318 receives a signal indicating that a ball has won the second special figure starting port 232, the timing of the random value generation circuit corresponding to the second special figure starting port 232 is also the same. Is latched, and the latched value is stored in a random value storage register corresponding to the second special figure starting port 232 incorporated in the random value generation circuit 318.

<Discharge control unit, launch control unit, power supply control unit>
Next, the payout control unit 600, the launch control unit 630, and the power supply control unit 660 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described.

  The payout control unit 600 controls the payout motor 602 of the payout device 152 mainly based on a command signal or the like transmitted from the main control unit 300, and a prize ball or a rental ball based on a control signal output from the payout sensor 604 It is detected whether or not the payout has been completed, and communication with a card unit 608 provided separately from the pachinko machine 100 is performed via the interface unit 606.

  Further, a detection signal of the door opening sensor 609 is input to the dispensing control unit 600, and a door opening command is transmitted from the dispensing control unit 600 to the main control unit 300. Also, when there is a payout error, an error command is transmitted from the payout control unit 600 to the main control unit 300.

  As for the door opening command, the detection signal of the door opening sensor 609 may be directly input to the main control unit 300 without using the dispensing control unit 600, or the dispensing control unit 600 is used as a relay base. Then, a door opening command may be transmitted from the door opening sensor 609 to the main control unit 300.

I do.

  The power control unit 660 converts the AC power supplied from the outside to the pachinko machine 100 into a DC voltage, converts it to a predetermined voltage, and controls each control unit such as the main control unit 300 and the first sub control unit 400, the payout device 152, etc. Supply to each device. Further, the power supply control unit 660 supplies a power storage circuit (for example, a power supply circuit) for supplying power to a predetermined part (for example, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300) for a predetermined period (for example, 10 days) even after the external power supply is cut off. , Capacitor). Here, a predetermined voltage is supplied from the power supply control unit 660 to the payout control unit 600 and the first sub control unit 400, and from the payout control unit 600 to the main control unit 300, the second sub control unit 500, and the launch control unit 630. Although the predetermined voltage is supplied, the predetermined voltage may be supplied to each control unit and each device through another power supply path. For example, the main control unit 300 may be directly supplied with a predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660. The second sub control unit 500 may be configured to supply a voltage after a predetermined voltage is supplied to the payout control unit 600, the main control unit 300, and the first sub control unit 400. The second sub control unit 500 may be supplied with a predetermined voltage from the first sub control unit 400. The firing control unit 630 may be directly supplied with a predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660. The payout control unit 600 may be supplied with a predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660 via other control units (such as the main control unit 300 and the first sub control unit 400) and each device. The first sub-control unit 400 may be supplied with a predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660 via other control units (main control unit 300, payout control unit 600, etc.) and devices. The payout control unit 600, the main control unit 300, and the first sub control unit 400 may be supplied with a predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660 almost simultaneously. The payout control unit 600 may be supplied with the predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660 earlier than both of the main control unit 300 and the first sub control unit 400 or at least one of them. The main control unit 300 may be configured to supply the predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660 earlier than at least one of the payout control unit 600 and the first sub control unit 400. The first sub control unit 400 may be supplied with the predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660 earlier than at least one of the payout control unit 600 and the main control unit 300.

  The second sub control unit 500 may be supplied with a predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660 almost simultaneously with the payout control unit 600, the main control unit 300, and the first sub control unit 400. The second sub control unit 500 is configured so that the predetermined voltage is supplied from the power supply control unit 660 earlier than all of the payout control unit 600, the main control unit 300, and the first sub control unit 400, or one or more control units. May be. The second sub control unit 500 may be directly supplied with a predetermined voltage from the power supply control unit 660.

  In an island facility provided in a game machine installation store, a 100V AC power source is stepped down to a voltage of 24V, and a 24V AC current is supplied to the pachinko machine 100. The 24V AC current is converted into a 12V DC voltage by the power supply control unit 660 of the main control unit 300. Although not shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 300 is also provided with a voltage conversion circuit. The 12 V DC current is further stepped down to a predetermined voltage (here, 5 V) by the voltage conversion circuit, and the predetermined voltage (5 V ) Is supplied to the CPU 304 provided in the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300. Further, the direct current converted to a voltage of 12 V by the power supply control unit 660 is also supplied to the voltage monitoring circuit 338 and the start signal output circuit 340 of the main control unit 300. When the voltage value of the 12V supply current drops below a predetermined value (9V in this example), the voltage monitoring circuit 338 outputs a low voltage signal to the I / O port 310 of the basic circuit 302. Therefore, the voltage monitoring circuit 338 monitors the voltage value of the power line connecting the power control unit 660 and the voltage monitoring circuit 338 and through which a DC current of 12 V flows. This power line is an example of a predetermined power line. It corresponds to. Note that a low voltage signal may be directly input to the CPU 304. The power management unit 660 also outputs the input 24V AC current as it is, or converts it into a 36V DC current and outputs it. Furthermore, the current of the operating voltage (here, 5V) may be supplied to the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 via a circuit different from the voltage conversion circuit.

  The activation signal output circuit 340 outputs an activation signal when the voltage value of the direct current supplied from the power supply control unit 660 by turning on the power reaches a voltage value at which the CPU 304 can operate. Further, when the WDT 314 times out, a reset signal is output from the WDT 314 to the CPU 304. When the WDT 3141 times out, there is a case where the CPU 304 cannot perform the originally designed operation due to a runaway state due to a program mistake or a voltage drop caused by a lightning strike or an illegal act. In the present embodiment, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in WDT 3141 as an initial value. The activation signal from the activation signal output circuit 340 and the reset signal from the WDT 3141 are input to the CPU 304 through a common signal line, but may be input through dedicated lines. The activation signal output from the activation signal output circuit 340 and the reset signal output from the WDT 314 described here correspond to an example of a predetermined activation signal.

  In the case of a momentary power loss when the power supply is shut off and immediately recovered, that is, when the power supply switch 178 is automatically recovered without being turned on, a stop voltage signal is output and the WDT 3141 times out, and the main control unit 300 performs reset processing. Is executed. In this reset process, it is first determined whether or not the reset operation to be executed is a system reset operation. There are two reset operations executed by the basic circuit 302: a system reset operation and a user reset operation. Here, when the system reset operation is executed, the values of the core of the CPU 304 and the built-in register are initialized. Subsequently, a security check process is executed. In the security check process, recalculation is performed to determine whether the authentication code calculated based on the user program is correct. If the authentication code is correct, the extension process is executed. The extension time in the extension process may be a fixed time, or may be a time obtained by adding a randomly selected random time to the fixed time. When the extension process ends, a main process of the main control unit 300 described later is executed, and game control is started. On the other hand, when executing the user reset operation, the values of the core of the CPU 304 and the built-in register are initialized. However, the value of the register that controls the random number generation circuit 318 is maintained in the state before the reset. Thereafter, main processing of the main control unit 300 described later is executed, and game control is started.

<Type of design>
Next, using FIGS. 5A to 5C, the first special symbol display device 212, the second special symbol display device 214, the decorative symbol display device 208, and the normal symbol display device 210 of the pachinko machine 100 are stopped and displayed. The types of special maps and general maps to be described will be described. Fig.5 (a) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect of a special figure.

  The special figure 1 variable game is started on the condition that the first start port sensor detects that the ball has entered the first special figure start port 230, and the ball has entered the second special figure start port 232 The special figure 2 variable game is started on the condition that the second start port sensor has detected. When the special figure 1 variable game is started, the first special symbol display device 212 performs “variable display of special figure 1” by repeating all lighting of seven segments and lighting of one central segment. In addition, when the special figure 2 variable game is started, the second special symbol display device 214 displays “fluctuation display of special figure 2” which repeats lighting of all seven segments and lighting of one central segment. Do. These “variation display of special figure 1” and “variation display of special figure 2” correspond to an example of the symbol fluctuation display. Then, when the variation time determined before the start of the fluctuation of the special figure 1 elapses, the first special symbol display device 212 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 1, and the fluctuation time determined before the start of the fluctuation of the special figure 2 When elapses, the second special symbol display device 214 stops and displays the stop symbol mode of the special symbol 2. Further, after that, a fixed display for maintaining the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 msec) is performed.

  Therefore, from the start of “figure display of special figure 1” until the stop display of special figure 1 is stopped and finalized display is completed, or after “fluctuation display of special figure 2” is started The process up to the stop display of 2 stop symbol forms and the end of the final display corresponds to an example of the symbol variation display. As will be described later, the symbol variation display may be continuously performed a plurality of times. FIG. 5A shows ten types of special figures from “Special figure A” to “Special figure J” as stop symbol forms in the symbol variation display. In FIG. 5A, the white portions in the figure indicate the segment locations where the light is turned off, and the black portions indicate the location where the segments are turned on.

  “Special Figure A” is a 15 round (15R) special jackpot symbol, and “Special Figure B” is a 15R jackpot symbol. In the pachinko machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, as will be described later, whether or not a big hit in a special figure variable game is determined by lottery of hardware random numbers, and whether or not a special big hit is determined by lottery of software random numbers. The difference between the jackpot and the special jackpot is the difference in whether the probability of winning the jackpot is high (special jackpot) or low (jackpot) in the next special figure variation game. Hereinafter, a state having a high probability of winning the jackpot is referred to as a special figure high probability state, and a state having a low probability is referred to as a special figure low probability state. Moreover, after the 15R special jackpot game ends and after the 15R jackpot game ends, both shift to the time-saving state. Although the time reduction will be described in detail later, the state that shifts to the time reduction state is referred to as a normal high probability state, and the state that does not shift to the time reduction state is referred to as a normal low probability state. “Special figure A”, which is a 15R special jackpot symbol, is a special figure high probability normal figure high probability state, and “Special figure B”, which is a 15R jackpot symbol, is a special figure low probability ordinary figure high probability state. These “special chart A” and “special chart B” are symbols that give a relatively large profit amount to the player.

  “Special figure C” is a 2R jackpot symbol called sudden probability change, and is a special figure high probability normal figure high probability state. That is, “Special Figure C” is 2R compared to “Special Figure A” which is 15R. "Special figure D" is a 2R jackpot symbol called sudden time reduction, and is a special figure low probability normal figure high probability state. That is, “Special Figure D” is 2R compared to “Special Figure B” which is 15R.

  “Special figure E” is a 2R jackpot symbol called hidden probability change, and is a special figure high probability normal figure low probability state. "Special figure F" is a 2R jackpot symbol suddenly called normal, and is a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state. These “special drawing E” and “special drawing F” are both 2R and are in a state in which they do not shift to the time-saving state.

  "Special figure G" is a first small hit symbol, and "Special figure H" is a second small hit symbol, both of which are in a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state. The small hit here is equivalent to the same short hit big hit with 2R. That is, “Special Figure G” and “Special Figure H” are in the same state as “Special Figure F”, but the effects displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 are different in both cases. By providing “G”, “Special Figure H”, and “Special Figure F”, the interest of the game is enhanced.

  In addition, “Special Figure I” is a first off symbol, and “Special Figure J” is a second off symbol, and the profit amount given to the player is a relatively small profit amount.

  In the pachinko machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, symbols other than “Special Figure A” are prepared as 15R special jackpot symbols, and the same applies to other symbols such as 15R jackpot symbols.

  FIG. 5B shows an example of a decorative design. There are ten types of decoration designs, “Decoration 1” to “Decoration 10”. The first start port sensor detects that a ball has won the first special figure start port 230 or the second special view start port 232, that is, the ball has entered the first special view start port 230; or On the condition that the second start port sensor detects that a ball has entered the second special symbol start port 232, the left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, and the right symbol display of the decorative symbol display device 208 are displayed. Displayed in the order of “decoration 1” → “decoration 2” → “decoration 3” →... “Decoration 9” → “decoration 10” → “decoration 1” →... “Decoration display of decorative pattern” is performed. When the 15R jackpot of “Special Figure B” is notified, a symbol combination (for example, “decoration 1—decoration 1—decoration”) corresponding to the 15R jackpot corresponding to the 15R jackpot is displayed in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. 1 ”or“ decoration 2—decoration 2—decoration 2 ”). When the 15R special jackpot of “special drawing A” is notified, a combination of three symbols of the same odd number of decorative symbols (for example, “decoration 3—decoration 3—decoration 3” or “decoration 7—decoration 7—decoration 7”). Etc.) is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the 2R jackpot called “hidden probability change” of “Special Figure E”, the 2R jackpot called “Special Figure F” suddenly, or the first small hit of “Special Figure G”, “Special Figure H” When notifying the second small hit, “decoration 1-decoration 2—decoration 3” is stopped and displayed. Furthermore, in order to notify the 2R jackpot called “sudden change” of “special drawing C” or the 2R jackpot called “sudden time reduction” of “special drawing D”, “decoration 1-decoration 3—decoration 5” is displayed. Stop display.

  On the other hand, when notifying the first deviation of “Special Figure I” and the second deviation of “Special Figure J”, the symbol combinations other than the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 3B are stopped in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. indicate.

  FIG.5 (c) shows an example of the usual stop display symbol. There are two types of stop display modes for normal maps: “general map A”, which is a winning symbol, and “general symbol B”, which is a missed symbol. Based on the fact that the above-mentioned gate sensor has detected that a sphere has passed through the general-purpose start opening 228, the normal symbol display device 210 repeats all lighting of the seven segments and lighting of the central one segment. Perform a “normal change display”. Then, when notifying the winning of the common figure variable game, the “normal figure A” is stopped and displayed, and when notifying the usual figure variable game, the “normal figure B” is stopped and displayed. Also in FIG. 5C, the white portions in the drawing indicate the locations of the segments that are turned off, and the black portions indicate the locations of the segments that are turned on.

<Main control unit main processing>
Next, main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 340 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal has been input performs reset start by a reset interrupt, and executes main control unit main processing shown in FIG. 6 in accordance with a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306.

  In step S101, initial setting 1 is performed. In this initial setting 1, setting of a stack initial value (temporary setting) to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of an interrupt mask, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, to the WDT 314 The operation is permitted and the initial value is set. Here, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in WDT 314 as an initial value. In step S103, the value of the counter of WDT 314 is cleared and time measurement by WDT 314 is restarted.

  In step S105, whether or not the low voltage signal is on, that is, the voltage value of the power supply that the voltage monitoring circuit 338 supplies from the power supply control unit 660 to the main control unit 300 is a predetermined value (for example, 9v). If it is less than the value, it is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power supply is cut off), the process returns to step S103, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the CPU 304 does not detect that the power supply is cut off), The process proceeds to S107. Even when the predetermined value (9 V) is not yet reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step S103, and step S105 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step S107, initial setting 2 is performed. In this initial setting 2, a process for setting a numerical value for determining a cycle for executing a main control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, in the counter timer 312 and a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, Processing for outputting a clear signal from the output port to the first sub control unit 400, setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like are performed.

  In step S109, it is determined whether or not the state before the power interruption (before power interruption) is restored, and the state before the power interruption is not restored (when the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 is set to the initial state). ) Proceeds to an initialization process (step S113).

  Specifically, first, a RAM clear signal transmitted when a store clerk or the like of an amusement store operates the RWM clear switch 180 provided on the power supply board is turned on (indicates that there has been an operation). That is, it is determined whether or not the RAM clear is necessary. If the RAM clear signal is on (when the RAM clear is necessary), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. On the other hand, when the RAM clear signal is OFF (when the RAM clear is not necessary), the power status information stored in the power status storage area provided in the RAM 308 is read, and the power status information is information indicating suspend. It is determined whether or not. If the power status information is not information indicating suspend, the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to an initial state. If the power status information is information indicating suspend, a predetermined area of the RAM 308 is set. A checksum is calculated by adding all the 1-byte data stored in (for example, all areas) to a 1-byte register whose initial value is 0, and the calculated checksum results in a specific value (for example, 0) (whether or not the checksum result is normal). When the checksum result is a specific value (eg, 0) (when the checksum result is normal), the process proceeds to step S111 to return to the state before the power interruption, and the checksum result is a specific value. If the value is other than 0 (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is abnormal), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the pachinko machine 100 to the initial state. Similarly, when the power status information indicates information other than “suspend”, the process proceeds to step S113.

  In step S111, power recovery processing is performed. In this power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the stack pointer save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power failure is read out and reset to the stack pointer (this setting). In addition, the value of each register stored in the register save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is read out and reset in each register, and then the interrupt permission is set. Thereafter, as a result of the CPU 304 executing the control program based on the reset stack pointer and registers, the pachinko machine 100 returns to the state when the power is turned off. That is, the processing is resumed from the instruction next to the instruction (predetermined in step S115) performed immediately before branching to the timer interrupt process (described later) immediately before the power interruption. A RAM 308 mounted on the basic circuit 302 in the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 is provided with a transmission information storage area. In step S111, a power recovery command is set in the transmission information storage area. This power recovery command is a command indicating that the power has been restored to the state at the time of power-off, and is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in step S233 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300 described later.

  In step S113, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization process, interrupt prohibition setting, stack initial value setting to the stack pointer (this setting), initialization of all storage areas of the RAM 308, and the like are performed. Further, here, a normal return command is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. This normal return command is a command indicating that the initialization process (step S113) of the main control unit 300 has been performed, and in the same way as the power recovery command, in step S233 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300, 1 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400.

  In step S115, after setting for prohibition of interruption, a basic random number initial value update process is performed. In this basic random number initial value update process, two initial value generation random number counters for generating the initial values of the ordinary figure winning random number counter and the special figure random value counter, the ordinary figure timer random number value, and the special figure timer, respectively. Two random number counters for generating each random value are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as a normal timer random number value is 0 to 100, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal timer random value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Other initial value generation random number counters and random number counters are similarly updated. Note that the initial value generation random number counter is also updated in step S207 described later. The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step S115 except during a timer interrupt process that starts every predetermined period.

<Main control unit timer interrupt processing>
Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (for example, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt processing is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. Start with a predetermined period.

  In step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step S203, the WDT is periodically updated (for example, the main value is not detected) so that the WDT 314 count value exceeds the initial setting value (for example, 32.8 ms) and no WDT interruption occurs. Restart once every approximately 2ms, which is the control unit timer interrupt period.

  In step S205, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of various sensors 320 including the above-mentioned front frame door open sensor, inner frame open sensor, lower pan full sensor, and various ball detection sensors are input via the input port of the I / O 310. The input is monitored for the presence or absence of a detection signal, and stored in a signal state storage area provided for each of the various sensors 320 in the RAM 308. If the detection signal of the sphere detection sensor is described as an example, information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected in the timer interruption process (about 4 ms before) is stored in the RAM 308 for each sphere detection sensor. This information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area partitioned and stored in the RAM 308 in the previous detection signal storage area partitioned for each sphere detection sensor, and the previous timer interrupt processing (about 2 ms before) ) Is read from the current detection signal storage area provided for each sphere detection sensor in the RAM 308, and this information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area described above. To remember. Further, the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-described current detection signal storage area.

  Further, in step S205, the information on the presence or absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor stored in each storage area of the above-mentioned detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area is compared. It is determined whether or not the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in the ball detection sensor matches the winning determination pattern information. This main control unit timer interrupt process that is repeatedly started at a very short interval of about 2 ms while one game ball passes one ball detection sensor is started several times. For this reason, every time the main control unit timer interrupt process is activated, in step S205 described above, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is confirmed. As a result, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is stored in each of the detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area. That is, when the game ball starts to pass through the ball detection sensor, there is no detection signal before, a previous detection signal, and a current detection signal. Here, in consideration of erroneous detection of the sphere detection sensor and noise, it is determined that there has been a prize when the detection signal is stored twice continuously after no detection signal. The ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 stores winning determination pattern information (for example, information indicating that there is no detection signal before, there is a previous detection signal, and there is a current detection signal). In this step S205, the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in each ball detection sensor is predetermined winning determination pattern information (for example, no previous detection signal, previous detection signal, current detection signal). In the case of the general winning port 226, the variable winning port 234, the first special figure starting port 230, and the second special figure starting port 232, or the normal figure starting port 228 is passed. Judge that there was. In other words, it is determined that a prize has been awarded to the winning ports 226 and 234 and the starting ports 230, 232, and 228. For example, when the information on the presence / absence of the detection signals for the past three matches with the above-described winning determination pattern information in the general winning opening sensor for detecting the winning at the general winning opening 226, there is a winning at the general winning opening 226. If the information on the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the subsequent general winnings are performed. The process branches to the subsequent process without performing the process associated with winning the prize to the mouth 226. The ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 stores winning determination clear pattern information (for example, information indicating that there is a detection signal before, no previous detection signal, and no current detection signal). After it is determined that there has been a single win, it is not determined that there has been a win until the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times matches the winning determination clear pattern information in each ball detection sensor, and the winning determination is cleared. If it matches the pattern information, it is next determined whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information.

  In step S207 and step S209, basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing are performed. In these basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing, the value of the initial value generation random number counter performed in step S115 is updated, and then the normal winning random number value used in the main control unit 300, Two random number counters for generating the special figure 1 random value and the special figure 2 random value are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as a random number value for a normal winning number is 0 to 100, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal winning random number value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. If it is determined that the random number counter has made one round as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value, the value of the initial value generating random number counter corresponding to each random number counter is acquired and stored in the storage area of the random number counter. set. For example, a value is acquired from a random number counter for generating a regular winning random number that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 100, and a result obtained by adding 1 to the acquired value is stored in a predetermined initial value storage area provided in the RAM 308. If the value is equal to the previously set initial value (for example, 7), the value is acquired as an initial value from the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the random number counter for generating the random number for winning the normal number, The initial value set this time is stored in the above-described initial value storage area in order to determine that the random number counter for generating the winning random number value has made one round next time, in addition to setting it in the random number counter for generating the winning random value Keep it. Further, apart from the above-described initial value storage area for determining that the random number counter for generating the random number for winning the normal signal has made one round next, it is determined that the random number counter for generating the special figure random number has made one round. An initial value storage area is provided in the RAM 308. Here, the counter for acquiring the random value in FIG. 1 and the counter for acquiring the random value in FIG. 2 are provided separately, but the same counter may be used.

  In step S211, effect random number update processing is performed. In this effect random number update process, a random number counter for generating an effect random number used by the main control unit 300 is updated.

  In step S213, timer update processing is performed. In this timer update process, the normal symbol display symbol update timer for timing the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped on the normal symbol display device 210, and the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 212 are timed. Special symbol 1 display symbol update timer for performing, special symbol 2 display symbol update timer for measuring the time for the symbol to be changed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 214, a predetermined winning effect time, a predetermined opening time Various timers including a timer for measuring a predetermined closing time, a predetermined end effect period, and the like are updated.

  In step S215, winning prize counter update processing is performed. In this winning opening counter updating process, when winning holes 226, 234 and starting holes 230, 232, 228 are won, the RAM 308 stores the winning ball number storage area provided for each winning hole or for each starting hole. The value is read out, 1 is added, and the original prize ball number storage area is set.

  In step S217, a winning acceptance process is performed. In this winning acceptance process, it is determined whether or not there has been a winning at the first special figure starting port 230, the second special figure starting port 232, the ordinary drawing starting port 228, and the variable winning port 234. Here, the determination is made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step S203. If there is a winning at the first special figure starting port 230 and the corresponding reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the random number value storage circuit 318 stores the random value corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230. The value is acquired from the register for use, and the processed value (for example, the acquired value + the value of the R register + 1) is acquired as the special figure 1 winning random number value and the value is acquired from the random number counter for generating the special figure 1 random number value, The processed value (for example, acquired value + R register value + 1) is acquired as a special figure 1 random number value and stored in the corresponding random value storage area. When a winning is made to the second special figure starting port 232 and the corresponding reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the random value counter corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230 of the random number generation circuit 318 The value is acquired from the value storage register, and the processed value (for example, the acquired value + the value of the R register + 1) is acquired as the special figure 2 winning random value and the value is acquired from the random number counter for generating the special figure 2 random value. Then, the processed value (for example, acquired value + R register value + 1) is acquired as a special figure 2 random value and stored in the corresponding random value storage area.

  In step S219, a payout request number transmission process is performed. Note that the output schedule information and the payout request information output to the payout control unit 600 are composed of, for example, 1 byte, strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 6 Power-on information (if turned on, indicates that this is the first command transmission after power-on), bits 4-5 indicate the current processing type for encryption (0-3), and bits 0-3 indicate encryption The number of payout requests after processing is shown.

  In step S221, a normal state update process is performed. This normal state update process performs one of a plurality of processes corresponding to the normal state. For example, in the normal state update process in the middle of the normal symbol display (the above-described general symbol display symbol update timer value is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is repeatedly turned on and off. Turns off drive control. By performing this control, the normal symbol display device 210 performs a usual fluctuation display (ordinary figure fluctuation game).

  Also, in the normal state update process at the timing when the normal symbol change display time has elapsed (the timing when the value of the general symbol display symbol update timer has changed from 1 to 0), if the hit flag is on, the win symbol is displayed. The normal symbol display device 210 is controlled so that the 7-segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is turned on / off, and when the hit flag is off, the normal symbol display device 210 is configured to be in the off symbol display mode. 7 segment LED on / off drive control is performed. Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a setting area for performing various settings in various processes, not limited to the normal state update process. Here, the above-described lighting / extinguishing drive control is performed, and the setting area is set to indicate that the normal stop display is being performed. By performing this control, the normal symbol display device 210 determines the symbol of either the winning symbol (the common symbol A shown in FIG. 5C) or the off symbol (the common symbol B shown in FIG. 5C). Display. Thereafter, information indicating the stop period is set in a storage area of a normal stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 msec). With this setting, the symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the player is notified of the result of the normal game.

  Further, if the result of the usual figure variable game is a hit, the usual figure hit flag is turned on as will be described later. When the usual figure hit flag is on, in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (when the usual figure stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), The normal operation is set in the setting area, and the blade member 232a is opened to the solenoid (332) for opening and closing the blade member 232a of the second special figure starting port 232 for a predetermined opening period (for example, 2 seconds). And a signal indicating the open period is set in the storage area of the blade open time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  In the usual state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the value of the blade opening time management timer changes from 1 to 0), the blade member A signal for holding the blade member in the closed state is output to the opening / closing drive solenoid 332, and information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area of the blade closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the normal state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined closing period ends (when the value of the blade closing time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the non-operating state is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. To do. Furthermore, if the result of the usual figure fluctuation game is out, the usual figure out flag is turned on as will be described later. When the off-normal flag is on, the normal state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing at which the normal stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0) In the setting area of the RAM 308, normal operation inactive is set. In the general state update process in the case where the general map is not operating, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S223.

  In step S223, a general drawing related lottery process is performed. In this general map-related lottery process, the open / close control of the general map variable game and the second special map start port 232 is not performed (the state of the general map is not in operation), and the pending general map variable game is not held. When the number is 1 or more, it is decided whether to win or not to win the result of the variable figure game by random lottery based on the random number value stored in the random number value storage area. When the winning judgment is made and the winning is made, the winning flag provided in the RAM 308 is set to ON. If unsuccessful, turn off the winning flag. Regardless of the result of the hit determination, next, the value of the random number counter for generating the normal figure timer random value is acquired as the normal figure timer random number value, and a plurality of fluctuation times are obtained based on the acquired general figure timer random number value. One time is selected for variably displaying the normal map on the general map display device 210, and this variable display time is stored as a normal map variable display time in a general map variable time storage area provided in the RAM 308. In addition, the number of pending general figure variable games is stored in the usual figure pending number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of pending custom figure variable games each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is re-stored in the usual figure reservation number storage area. Also, the random number value used for the hit determination is deleted.

  Next, the special figure state update process for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is performed. First, the special figure state update process (the special figure 2 state update process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step S225). In the special figure 2 state update process, one of the following eight processes is performed in accordance with the state of the special figure 2. For example, in the special figure 2 state update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the above-mentioned special figure 2 display symbol update timer is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the second special symbol display device 214 is turned on. Performs lighting / extinguishing drive control that repeatedly turns off. By performing this control, the second special symbol display device 214 performs the variable display of the special figure 2 (special figure 2 variable game). In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation start setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the process ends.

  Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 includes a 15R big hit flag, a 2R big hit flag, a first small hit flag, a second small hit flag, a first off flag, a second off flag, a special figure probability variation flag, and a normal figure. A flag for each probability variation flag is prepared. In the special figure 2 state update process starting at the timing when the special figure 2 fluctuation display time has elapsed (the timing when the special figure 2 display symbol update timer value has changed from 1 to 0), the 15R big hit flag is on, and the special figure probability fluctuation When the flag is also on and the normal figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure A, 15R jackpot flag shown in FIG. 5A is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, and the common figure probability fluctuation flag is on. When the special figure B, 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, and the general figure probability fluctuation flag is also on, the special figure C, 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, When the probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure D, 2R jackpot flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, and when the common figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure E, 2R jackpot flag is on, special chart Probability flag is off, normal When the rate fluctuation flag is also off, the special figure F, when the first small hit flag is on, the special figure G, when the second small hit flag is on, the special figure H, and the first off flag are on. In such a case, the 7-segment LED constituting the second special symbol display device 214 is controlled to be turned on / off so that the special figure I and the second off flag are turned on, respectively, so that the special figure I is in the respective mode. A setting indicating that the special figure 2 stop display is in progress is made in the setting area of the RAM 308. By performing this control, the second special symbol display device 214 has a 15R special jackpot symbol (special symbol A), a 15R jackpot symbol (special symbol B), a sudden probability variation symbol (special symbol C), and a sudden time-short symbol symbol (special symbol). D), hidden probability variation (special E), suddenly normal (special F), first small hit (special G), second small hit (special H), first off symbol (special) Any one of the symbols I) and the first off-set symbol (special symbol J) is confirmed and displayed. After that, information indicating the stop period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 milliseconds). With this setting, the specially displayed special figure 2 is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the result of the special figure 2 variable game is notified to the player. In addition, if the time reduction number stored in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the time reduction number, and if the subtraction result becomes 1 to 0, the special figure probability is changing. If not (details will be described later), the time reduction flag is turned off. Further, the hourly flag is also turned off during the big hit game (in the special game state).

  Further, the special transmission information indicating that the rotation stop setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the design for stopping the variable display is shown in FIG. The special figure 2 identification information indicating the presence is additionally stored in the RAM 308 as information to be included in command data, which will be described later, and the processing is terminated.

  If the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit, the big hit flag is turned on as will be described later. When the jackpot flag is on, in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the RAM 308 In the setting area, the special figure 2 is in operation and waits for a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period during which an image for notifying the player that the big win by the decorative symbol display device 208 is started is displayed. Therefore, information indicating the winning effect period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the winning effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends (the timing when the value of the special figure 2 standby time management timer changes from 1 to 0), a predetermined release period (for example, 29 seconds) Alternatively, the door member 234a is opened to the solenoid (332) for opening and closing the door member 234a of the variable prize opening 234 until a winning of a predetermined number of balls (for example, 10 balls) is detected at the variable prize opening 234. In addition to outputting a signal to be held at the same time, information indicating the opening period is set in the storage area of the door opening time management timer provided in the RAM 308. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening release setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the door opening time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 1.5 seconds) A signal for holding the door member 234a in a closed state is output to a solenoid (332) for opening and closing the door member 234a of the variable prize opening 234, and a closing period is stored in a storage area of a door closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Set the information indicating. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening closing setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts and closes the opening / closing control of the door member a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds or 2 rounds), the predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, decoration The effect standby period is shown in the storage area of the effect standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to set to wait for a period during which an image informing the player that the big hit by the symbol display device 208 is to be ended is displayed. Set the information. Also, if the normal probability fluctuation flag is set to ON, at the same time as the end of the jackpot game, the time reduction number 100 is set in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308, and the time reduction flag provided in the RAM 308 is set. Turn on. If the usual time probability variation flag is set to OFF, the time reduction number is not set in the time reduction number storage unit, and the time reduction flag is not turned ON. The short time here means that the pachinko machine is in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the big hit in the special figure variable game to the start of the next big hit. If the short time flag is set to ON at this time, it is a normal high probability state. There is a higher probability of hitting a general-purpose variable game in the high-probability state than in the low-probability state. In addition, the fluctuation time of the normal figure variable game and the fluctuation time of the special figure variable game are shorter in the normal figure high probability state than in the normal figure low probability state. Further, in the normal high probability state, the opening time in one opening of the pair of blade members 232a of the second special start port 232 tends to be longer than in the normal low probability state. In addition, the pair of blade members 232a are more likely to open in the normal high probability state than in the normal low probability state. In addition, as described above, the hourly flag is set to off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Therefore, the normal low probability state is maintained during the jackpot game. This is because, if the game is in a high probability state during a jackpot game, a large number of games will be placed in the second special figure start port 232 until a predetermined number of game balls are entered during the jackpot game. There is a problem that a ball enters and the number of game balls that can be acquired during the jackpot increases, resulting in an increase in euphoria. This is to solve this problem.

  Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the end effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined end production period ends (when the production standby time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the special figure 2 is not activated in the setting area of the RAM 308. Set medium. Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is out of the way, the off flag is turned on as will be described later. In the case where the miss flag is on, even in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, special figure 2 inactive is set. In the special figure 2 state update process when the special figure 2 is not in operation, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S227.

  Subsequently, special figure state update processing (special figure 1 state update process) for special figure 1 is performed (step S227). In the special figure 1 state update process, each process described in the special figure 2 state update process is performed according to the state of the special figure 1. Each process performed in the special figure 1 state update process is the same as the process in which “special figure 2” in the contents described in the special figure 2 state update process is replaced with “special figure 1”. Omitted. The order of the special figure 2 state update process and the special figure 1 state update process may be reversed.

  When the special figure state update process in step S225 and step S227 is completed, a special figure related lottery process for each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed. Also here, first, a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 2 (a special drawing 2 related lottery process) is performed (step S229), and then a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 1 (a special drawing 1 related lottery process). ) Is performed (step S231). Also for these special drawing related lottery processes, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure 2 related lottery processing before the special figure 1 related lottery processing, so that the special figure 2 variable game start condition and the special figure 1 fluctuation Even if the game start conditions are satisfied at the same time, since the special figure 2 variable game is changing first, the special figure 1 variable game does not start changing. Further, the notification of the result of the jackpot determination of the special figure variable game by the decorative symbol display device 208 is performed by the first sub-control unit 400, and the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the second special figure starting port 232 is notified. However, it is performed in preference to the notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the first special figure starting port 230.

  In step S233, command setting transmission processing is performed, and various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits, for example, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bits 11 to 14 are Command type (for example, error command such as basic command, symbol variation start command, symbol variation stop command, winning effect start command, end effect start command, jackpot round number designation command, power recovery command, RAM clear command, door open command, etc. Information that can specify the type of command), bits 0 to 10 are constituted by command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  Specifically, the strobe information is turned on and off in the command transmission process described above. If the command type is a symbol variation start command, information indicating the value of the 15R jackpot flag or 2R jackpot flag, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the timer number selected in the special figure related lottery process, etc. is included in the command data. In the case of the symbol variation stop command, the value of the 15R jackpot flag, 2R jackpot flag, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, etc. are included. In the case of a jackpot round number designation command, the value of the special variation probability flag, the number of jackpot rounds, and the like are included. When the command type indicates a basic command, device information in the command data, presence / absence of winning at the first special figure starting port 230, presence / absence of winning at the second special figure starting port 232, winning of the variable winning port 234 Includes presence or absence.

  In the rotation start setting transmission process described above, the 15R jackpot flag or 2R jackpot flag value, the special figure probability variation flag value, the special figure 1 related lottery process, and the special figure 2 relation stored in the RAM 308 as command data. Information indicating the timer number selected in the lottery process, the number of the first special figure variable game or the second special figure variable game held, etc. is set. In the rotation stop setting transmission process described above, information indicating the value of the 15R jackpot flag, the 2R jackpot flag, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, etc. stored in the RAM 308 is set in the command data. In the winning effect setting transmission process described above, the command control data stored in the RAM 308, the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 418, and the speaker 120 during the winning effect period, the special figure probability variation flag Information indicating the value, the number of the first special figure variable game or the second special figure variable game being held, etc. is set. In the above-described end effect setting transmission process, the command control data stored in the RAM 308, the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 418, and the speaker 120 during the effect standby period, the special figure probability variation flag Information indicating the value, the number of the first special figure variable game or the second special figure variable game being held, etc. is set. In the above-described large winning opening release setting transmission process, the number of big hits stored in the RAM 308 in the command data, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the pending first special figure variation game or the second special figure variation game is stored. Set information such as number. In the above-mentioned big winning opening closing setting transmission process, the number of big hits stored in the RAM 308 in the command data, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the pending first special figure variation game or the second special figure variation game is stored. Set information such as number. In step S233, general command special figure hold increase processing is also performed. In this general command special figure pending increase process, special figure identification information (information showing special figure 1 or special figure 2) stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308, command notice information (preliminary notice information, false) Set either advance notice information or no advance notice information).

  Further, when a door opening command is transmitted from the dispensing control unit 600 to the main control unit 300, the door opening command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The same applies to a case where a door opening command is directly transmitted from the door opening sensor 609 without going through the payout control unit 600. When the main control unit 300 directly receives the detection signal of the door opening sensor 609, the main control unit 300 transmits a door opening command to the first sub-control unit 400 when the detection signal is transmitted.

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step S235, an external output signal setting process is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 350 separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 336.

  In step S237, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, the signal states of the various sensors stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read, and the presence or absence of a predetermined error, for example, the presence or absence of a front frame door opening error or the presence or absence of a full tray error is monitored. When the front frame door opening error or the lower pan full error is detected, the transmission information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 includes device information indicating the presence or absence of the front frame door opening error or the lower pan full error. Set. Further, various solenoids 332 are driven to control the opening and closing of the second special figure starting port 232 and the variable prize opening 234, and the normal symbol display device 210 and the first special symbol display via the display circuits 324, 326 and 330. Display data to be output to the device 212, the second special symbol display device 214, the various status display units 328, and the like is set in the output port of the I / O 310. The output schedule information set in the payout request number transmission process (step S219) is output to the first sub-control unit 400 via the output port (I / O 310).

  In step S239, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when power supply cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S243, and when the low voltage signal is off (when power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S241.

  In step S241, timer interrupt end processing is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the values of the registers temporarily saved in step S201 are set in the original registers, the interrupt permission is set, etc., and then the main control unit main process shown in FIG. Return to.

  On the other hand, in step S243, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 as return data, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

<Processing of First Sub-Control Unit 400>
Next, processing of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described using FIG. FIG. 5A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 5B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 5C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 4D is a flowchart of the image control process of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, in step S301 in FIG. 9A, various initial settings are performed. When power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in S301. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

  In step S303, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305. In step S305, 0 is substituted into the timer variable. In step S307, command processing is performed. The CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 determines whether a command has been received from the main control unit 300.

  In step S309, effect control processing is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S307, processing such as reading effect data corresponding to the command from the ROM 406 is performed, and when update of the effect data is necessary, effect data update processing is performed.

  In step S311, it is determined whether or not the chance button 700 has been pressed by detecting the detection signal output from the detection unit 710 via the sensor circuit 428. Although details will be described later, if the result of the determination is that a pressing operation of the chance button 700 is detected, processing for changing the effect data updated in step S309 to effect data corresponding to the pressing operation of the chance button 700, or a chance When the pressing operation of the button 700 is valid, processing for preparing effect data corresponding to an operation reception effect to be described later is performed. Here, the first sub-control unit 400 detects the pressing operation of the chance button 700, while the second sub-control unit 500 controls the driving of the driving unit 708 of the chance button 700. Detection processing and drive control related to the button 700 may be performed by one control unit (for example, the first sub control unit 400 (or the second sub control unit 500)).

  In step S313, if there is a command to VDP 434 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to VDP 434 (details will be described later). In step S315, if there is a command to the sound source IC 416 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the sound source IC 416. In step S317, if there is a command to the various lamps 418 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the drive circuit 420.

  In step S319, if there is a command to the shielding device 246 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the drive circuit 432.

  In step S321, when there is a control command (for example, a control command related to the effect movable body 224 or a control command related to the drive unit 708 of the chance button 700) to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read out in step S309. Is set to output this control command, and the process returns to step S303. If the door opening command has been transmitted from the main control unit 300, the setting for outputting the door opening command to the second sub-control unit is performed in step S321.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described using FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S401 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  Next, the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (for example, once every 2 ms). Run in cycles.

  In step S501 of the first sub control unit timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 in the first sub control unit main process shown in FIG. Is stored in the timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S303, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S503 of the first sub control unit timer interrupt process, a control command is transmitted to the second sub control unit 500 set in step S319, an effect random number value is updated, and the like.

  Next, the image control process in step S313 in the main process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of image control processing.

  In step S601, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 404 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 436. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the decorative design display device 208. Next, the CPU 404 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 406), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 436) and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 434 based on the position information table and the like, and then the image from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 434 transfers the image data from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 436 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 404.

  In step S603, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S605. If not, a transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it. In step S605, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 436 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 436 in step S601, the CPU 404 has information on the image data constituting the display image (coordinate axis and image size of the VRAM 436). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 434. The VDP 434 sets parameters according to attributes based on instructions stored in the attribute register.

  In step S607, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 404 instructs the VDP 434 to start drawing an image. The VDP 434 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 404.

  In step S609, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 based on the end of image drawing is input. If a generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S611. If not, the generation end interrupt signal is determined. Wait for input. In step S611, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 408 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

<Processing of Second Sub-Control Unit 500>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 7B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 8C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S701 in FIG. 9A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, first, initialization processing is executed in S701. In this initialization processing, initial setting of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S703, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S705. In step S705, 0 is assigned to the timer variable. In step S707, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S709, an effect control process is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S707, the effect data corresponding to the command is read from the ROM 506, and when the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated. In step S 711, if there is a command from the first sub-control unit 400 to the game board lamp 532 or the game table frame lamp 542, this command is output to the serial communication control circuit 520.

  In step S713, after performing a movable body control process, it returns to step S703. Although details will be described later, in this movable body control process, when a control command related to the effect movable body 224 or a control command related to the drive unit 708 of the chance button 700 is received from the first sub-control section 400, the control command is Perform various corresponding processes.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects a strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400. In step S801 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the first sub control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, the second sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (for example, once every 2 ms), and the timer interrupt processing is performed at a predetermined cycle triggered by this timer interrupt. Run with.

  In step S901 of the second sub control unit timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S703 in the second sub control unit main process shown in FIG. Is stored in the timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S703, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S903 of the second sub-control unit timer interrupt process, an effect random number update process is performed.

Note that further detailed control processing of the door-side effect movable body will be described later.

  In the chance button movable body process, the control information included in the control command is newly stored in the chance button drive storage area provided in the RAM 508, or the control information stored in the chance button drive storage area is new information. Update the data or discard old information.

  The second sub-control unit 500 executes the movable body interrupt process shown in FIG. 5B at a predetermined cycle (for example, every 1 ms) with the above-described timer interrupt as a trigger. In step S1101 of this movable body interruption process, it is determined whether or not control information (excitation, torque, rotation direction, etc.) to be output to the drive unit 708 is stored in the above-mentioned chance button drive storage area. If the corresponding control information is stored, the control information is output to the drive circuit 517. As a result, the drive unit 708 of the chance button 700 is driven.

  Further, it is determined whether or not operation data (excitation, torque, rotation direction, etc.) to be output to the effect movable body 224 is stored in the above-described effect movable body drive storage area, and the corresponding operation data is stored. If so, the operation data is output to the drive circuit 516. Thereby, the effect movable body 224 is driven.

  In step S1102, a detection signal from the effect movable body sensor 424 is input via the sensor circuit 518, and position information of the effect movable body 224 is detected based on the detection signal and stored in the RAM 508. When the sensor is not detected, an initial position return (origin return) process of the effect movable body 224 is performed. Here, the detection process of the pressing operation of the chance button 700 by the detection unit 710 is performed by the first sub-control unit 400, but may be performed by this step S1102.

  In step S1103, output information update processing is performed. In the output information update process, a process of updating the operation data of the effect movable body 224 and the control information of the drive unit 708 of the chance button 700 is performed.

In addition, the game board 200 is provided with a board-side effect movable body 2242 that falls on the front side of the decorative symbol display device 208 above the decorative symbol display device 208. The initial (origin) position of the first door-side effect movable body 2241a is the closed position (the position in which the front frame door 106 is accommodated) shown in FIG. The initial (origin) position is the retracted position (position where the front frame door 106 is accommodated) shown in FIG.

  FIG. 11B shows a state where the first door-side effect movable body 2241a, the second door-side effect movable body 2241b, and the board-side effect movable body 2242 are operating. That is, the first door-side effect movable body 2241a shown in FIG. 11B opens upward, and the second door-side effect movable body 2241b protrudes forward. Further, the board-side effect movable body 2242 is dropped to the front side of the decorative symbol display device 208.

  The first door-side effect movable body 2241a, the second door-side effect movable body 2241b, and the board-side effect movable body 2242 are a kind of accessory.

  The first door-side effect movable body 2241a corresponds to an example of the first movable means, and the second door-side effect movable body 2241b corresponds to an example of the second movable means. Alternatively, the door-side effect movable body 2241 (the first door-side effect movable body 2241a and the second door-side effect movable body 2241b) corresponds to an example of the first movable means, and the board-side effect movable body 2242 is It can also correspond to an example of the second movable means. In this case, the first door-side effect movable body 2241a corresponds to an example of the first movable body, and the second door-side effect movable body 2241b corresponds to an example of the second movable body.

  In addition, you may provide the 3rd movable body controlled by the same control means as the 1st movable body (here 1st door side production movable body 2241a). For example, the third movable body may have the same shape as the first movable body. For example, the first door-side movable movable body 2241a is provided at the upper left of the front frame door 106 shown in FIG. You may provide the 3rd door side production movable body of the same shape. The first movable body and the third movable body may operate simultaneously.

  The door-side effect movable body control process shown in FIG. 12 is executed in various received command processes shown in FIG. The CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500 determines whether or not a door opening command has been received from the first sub-control unit 400 (step S1201), and if not received, proceeds to step S1205, and if received, Based on the position information of the door-side effect movable body 2241 stored in the RAM 508, it is determined whether or not the current position of the door-side effect movable body 2241 is the initial position (step S1202). If it is not the initial position, the above-described production movable body drive storage area is rewritten with operation data (for example, closing operation data) for returning to the initial position (step S1203), and this door-side production movable body control process ends. On the other hand, if it is the initial position, standby instruction information indicating standby is set in the above-described production movable body drive storage area (step S1204), and the process ends. In this case, in the output information update process (step S1103) shown in FIG. 10B, the operation data is not updated. In step S1101 in the next movable body interruption process, the drive circuit is related to the door-side effect movable body. Operation data is not transmitted. Note that operation data that maintains the same position as the current position (here, the initial position) may be transmitted.

  When the power is turned on, a predetermined voltage is first supplied from the power control unit 660 to the second sub control unit 500. The second sub-control unit 500 determines that the power is turned on when the voltage value from the power control unit 660 exceeds a certain value, and starts the door-side effect movable body control process at the time of power-on shown in FIG. . The CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500 determines whether or not a door opening command has been received from the first sub-control unit 400 (step S1301), and if not received, the above-described effect movable body drive storage area is stored. Then, operation data (for example, closing operation data) for returning to the initial position is set (step S1302), and the door-side effect movable body control process at the time of power-on is ended. On the other hand, if it has been received, standby instruction information indicating standby is set in the above-described production movable body drive storage area (step S1303), and the process ends. If the execution of step S1101 in the above-described movable body interrupting process is delayed when the power is turned on, the operation data related to the door-side effect movable body may be transmitted to the drive circuit 516 and then terminated. Good.

  Whether it is the first door-side effect movable body 2241a, the second door-side effect movable body 2241b, or the board-side effect movable body 2242, the first sub-control unit 400 determines whether or not to execute, The operation is executed when “execute” is won by the execution availability lottery in the movable body control processing S713 shown in FIG.

  The door-side effect movable body control process described above may be executed by the first sub-control unit 400.

  Then, the outline about the characteristic point of this invention is demonstrated.

  In the present invention, a pseudo-continuous effect may be executed. This pseudo-continuous effect is executed when “execute” is won by the execution availability lottery in the first sub-control unit 400. In the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is variably displayed in accordance with the special symbol variation display. However, in the pseudo-continuous effect, for one special symbol variation display (that is, one start prize). The decorative symbol display is temporarily stopped in some or all of the symbol display regions 208a to 208c in the decorative symbol display device 208 (the decorative symbol update is stopped but not yet confirmed, and is shaken. Or the like, the display may be re-variably displayed once or a plurality of times. For example, while the decorative symbols are updated (variable display) in the middle symbol display region 208b, the decorative symbol variation display is temporarily stopped in the left symbol display region 208a and the right symbol display region 208c. Variation display may be started, or variation display of decorative symbols may be temporarily stopped in all symbol display areas 208a to 208c, and then re-variation display may be started. In addition, when temporary stop is performed, symbols and designs other than decorative symbols may be temporarily stopped. In this pseudo-continuous production, how many times the re-variation display is executed for the symbol variation display of one special chart (that is, one start winning prize) is determined by lottery in the first sub-control unit 400. Is done. The pseudo-rendition effect may be a jackpot notice effect (so-called normal notice effect) of the change, which predicts that the symbol change display of the special figure currently being performed will be a big hit, or the special effect currently being performed. It may be a reach notice effect for notifying the development to super reach with the symbol variation display in the figure. Alternatively, it may be a pre-reading notice effect for notifying that a big win will be given by the symbol variation display of the special symbol starting after the symbol variation display of the special symbol currently being performed. Regardless of the notice effect, as the number of re-variable displays increases, the degree of expectation (the reliability of the notice) increases, resulting in a hot effect. In addition, when a re-variable display is performed for the first number of times (for example, four times), a big hit decision or a super reach decision may be made. In the case of a pre-reading notice effect, a step-up notice may be incorporated in which the number of re-variable displays increases as the symbol variation table of the special figure to be noticed approaches. For example, when the symbol variation table of the special chart after 3 times is targeted for the notice, the re-variation display is performed once in the pseudo-continuous effect in the symbol variation table of the first special diagram, and the second special diagram is displayed. In the quasi-continuous effect in the symbol variation table, the re-variable display is performed twice, and in the pseudo-variable effect in the symbol variation table of the third special diagram, the re-variable display is performed three times. In the pseudo-continuous effect in the symbol variation table, the re-variation display is performed four times.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pseudo-continuous effect, the first notification, the second notification, and the operation by the first movable means. In FIG. 14, each notification or operation execution period is indicated by a dotted arrow.

  The first notification, the second notification, and the operation of the first movable means in FIG. 14 are repeated. The details of the first notification, the second notification, and the operation of the first movable means will be described later, but the first notification is a notification that is started when a pseudo-continuous effect is performed, The second notification is a notification indicating the number of times related to the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, and the operation of the first movable means is an effect operation performed during execution of the pseudo-continuous effect.

  In FIG. 14, while the special symbol display devices 212 and 214 perform the special symbol display of one special symbol, the revariable display is performed three times as a pseudo-continuous effect, and the fourth revariable display is started. The pseudo rendition effect ends. Thereafter, the symbol combination of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 in accordance with the stop display of the special symbols on the special symbol display devices 212 and 214, and the stopped symbol is maintained during the fixed display period. Subsequently, the symbol variation display of the next special figure on the special figure display devices 212 and 214 is started.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14A, the first notification is started simultaneously with the temporary stop in the pseudo-continuous effect. The first notification shown in FIG. 14 (a) notifies that the pseudo continuous effect is started or that the pseudo continuous effect is continued. For example, any one or a plurality of symbols or all symbols (hereinafter referred to as “pseudo-continuous symbols”) among the combinations of symbols temporarily stopped in the decorative symbol display device 208 correspond to an example of the first notification. That is, the pseudo-continuous symbol is a decorative symbol (for example, “decoration 7”) shown in FIG. 5B or a combination of decorative symbols (for example, “decoration 2”-“decoration 4”-“decoration 6”). , So-called chance eyes), or other patterns or patterns. Further, the pseudo-continuous symbol may be a symbol that is finally stopped (third stop) in the temporary stop, may be a middle symbol, or may be a combination of a left symbol and a right symbol. Or the 1st alerting | reporting shown to Fig.14 (a) may be the character display, lamp lighting, and sound output which are started simultaneously with a temporary stop.

  The first notification shown in FIG. 14A may be a notification that ends simultaneously with the start of the re-variable display, or may be a notification that ends before the start of the re-variable display. Alternatively, after the start of re-variable display, it may be a notification that ends before the start of the second notification described later, or may be a notification that ends simultaneously with the start of the second notification, The notification may be completed after the start of the second notification and before the next temporary stop. Further, it may be a notification that ends at the same time as the next temporary stop. In this case, the first notification is continuously executed during the pseudo-continuous production.

  The second notification shown in FIG. 14A is started during the re-variation display. That is, it starts after the start of re-variable display and before the next temporary stop. This second notification is a notification regarding the number of times related to the pseudo-continuous effect, and may be a notification regarding the number of times of re-variable display, for example, or a notification regarding the number of times that temporary stop has been performed. Alternatively, it may be a notification about the number of times the re-variable display is started. In other words, it is a notification about the number of continuous times performed so far. Since the notification timing is after the start of re-variable display, the number of re-variable displays, the number of temporary stops, and the number of times re-variable display is started are the same. In addition, when the pseudo-continuous effect is continuously performed after the symbol variation display of the next special figure, these times are the number of times in the symbol variation display of the special symbol for one time. It may be the cumulative number of symbols in the special symbol display. Alternatively, it may be a notification about how many times the re-variation display is performed in the symbol variation display of one special figure, or a notification about how many times the temporary stop is performed. And it may be a notice about how many times the re-variable display is started. That is, notification about the remaining number of times may be used. Further, when the pseudo-continuous effect is continuously performed after the symbol variation display of the next special symbol, the remaining number of times may be the remaining number of times through the symbol variation display of a plurality of special symbols. Further, the fact that the remaining number has decreased during the pseudo-continuous production may be notified by the number of numbers, characters, figures, etc., or a notification that the pseudo-continuous production may end (for example, “ It may be “Now (question mark)” or “0 times (question mark).” Further, the notification about the number of times is a number (number of characters, figures, number of figures, figure representing the number of times (for example, character design) ) Etc.

  The second notification shown in FIG. 14A may be a notification that ends during the re-variation display, or may be a notification that ends simultaneously with the end of the re-variation display, that is, the temporary stop. Alternatively, it may be a notification that ends after a temporary stop is performed, or may be a notification that ends simultaneously with the start of the next re-variation. Furthermore, it may be a notification that ends during the next re-variable display. In this case, the second notification may lead to the next second notification, and may be continuously executed during the pseudo-continuous production. There will be.

  The operation of the first movable means shown in FIG. 14A is, for example, the operation of the first door-side effect movable body 2241a shown in FIG. 11, and after the first notification is started, It starts before the second notification is started. Therefore, the second notification is a notification started after the first notification and also a notification started after the operation of the first movable means is started. In addition, the operation of the first movable means shown in FIG. 14A is started before the re-variation display is started. The operation of the first movable means is an effect operation for exciting the pseudo-continuous effect, and a notification that the pseudo-continuous effect has started, a notice that the pseudo-continuous effect will continue, or a re-variable display is displayed. It is also equivalent to a notice of starting.

  The operation of the first movable means shown in FIG. 14A may be an instantaneous operation that ends before the re-variable display is started, or an operation that ends simultaneously with the start of the re-variable display. Also good. Alternatively, it may be an operation that ends during re-variable display, may be a notification that ends before the second notification is started, or may be a notification that ends simultaneously with the start of the second notification. Alternatively, it may be a notification that ends after the second notification is started. Further, it may be a notification that ends after the next first notification is started. In this case, the operation of the first movable means leads to the operation of the next first movable means, and the pseudo-continuous production. In some cases, it may be executed continuously.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14B, the first notification is started before the temporary stop in the pseudo-continuous performance. Therefore, the first first notification is started before the first temporary stop at which the pseudo-continuous production itself is started. This first notification is a notification for notifying that the pseudo-continuous presentation is started or that the pseudo-continuous presentation is continued, and may be, for example, a character display, lamp lighting, or sound output.

  The first notification shown in FIG. 14 (b) may be a notification that ends at the same time as the temporary stop, or ends at the same timing as the end timing of the first notification described with reference to FIG. 14 (a). Notification may be used.

  The second notification shown in FIG. 14B is started simultaneously with the start of re-variation. This second notification is also a notification started after the first notification, similar to the second notification shown in FIG. 5A, and is started after the operation of the first movable means is started. It is. The second notification shown in FIG. 14B is also a notification regarding the number of times related to the pseudo-continuous effect, for example, a notification regarding the number of re-variable display, and has been described with reference to FIG. This is a notification that ends at the same timing as the end timing of the second notification.

  The operation of the first movable means shown in FIG. 14B is also the operation of the first door-side effect movable body 2241a shown in FIG. 11, for example. The operation of the first movable means is started simultaneously with the temporary stop in the pseudo continuous effect, and is an operation for notifying that the pseudo continuous effect is started or that the pseudo continuous effect is continued. The operation of the first movable means is an operation that ends at the same timing as the end timing of the operation of the first movable means described with reference to FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14C, the first notification is started after the temporary stop in the pseudo-continuous effect and before the re-variable display is started. This first notification is a notification that the pseudo-continuous effect is started or that the pseudo-continuous effect is continued, and may be, for example, a character display, lamp lighting, or sound output. In addition, the first notification is notification that ends at the same timing as the end timing of the first notification described with reference to FIG.

  The second notification shown in FIG. 14 (c) is the same notification as the second notification shown in FIG. 14 (a), but may be the same notification as the second notification shown in FIG. 14 (b). .

  The operation of the first movable means shown in FIG. 14C is, for example, the operation of the first door-side effect movable body 2241a shown in FIG. The operation of the first movable means is started simultaneously with the start of re-variation, and becomes a notification operation that re-variation display has been started. The operation of the first movable means is the same as the end timing excluding the end timing before the re-variable display is started, among the end timings of the operation of the first movable means described with reference to FIG. The operation ends at the same timing.

  The first notification may be a notification that is always started before the pseudo-continuous production is started, or may be a notification that may or may not be started. Further, the first notification may be a notification that is always started simultaneously with the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, or may be a notification that may or may not be started. Furthermore, the first notification may be a notification that is always started after the pseudo-continuous effect is started, or may be a notification that may or may not be started. Further, the first notification may be a notification in which execution is started at the same time as execution of the second notification is started.

  Further, the second notification may be a notification that is always started after the pseudo-continuous effect is started, or may be a notification that may or may not be started. Further, the second notification may be a notification that is always started simultaneously with the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, or may be a notification that may or may not be started. Furthermore, the second notification may be a notification that is always started after the operation of the first movable body is started, or may be a notification that may or may not be started. .

  Furthermore, the operation of the first movable body may be an operation that is always started after the pseudo-continuous effect is started, or may be an operation that may or may not be started. Further, the operation of the first movable body may be an operation that is always started simultaneously with the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, or may be an operation that may or may not be started. Furthermore, the operation of the first movable body may be an operation that is always started after the first notification is started, or may be an operation that may or may not be started. . The operation of the first movable body may be an operation that is always started simultaneously with the start of the first notification, or may be an operation that may or may not be started.

  In addition, whether it is the first notification, the second notification, or the operation of the first movable means, the first sub-control unit 400 wins “execute” by the pseudo-continuous effect execution lottery. In such a case, the mode may be executed in a lump, and the first notification, the second notification, and the first movable means in the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500 In the case where “execute” is won by the individual execution feasibility lottery, each may be executed separately.

  Next, specific examples of effects including pseudo-continuous effects will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing, in stages, an example of a pseudo-continuous effect performed by the decorative symbol display device 208 with a sea pattern displayed on the background. In FIG. 15, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses. Further, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 15, a variation icon display region 208e is provided in the center portion of the effect display region 208d, and a hold icon display region 208f is located to the right of the variation icon display region 208e. Is provided. A frame-like image indicating the position of the fluctuation icon display area 208e is displayed on the outer periphery of the fluctuation icon display area 208e. This frame-like image is always displayed, but when the display condition is satisfied (for example, when the variation icon is not displayed in the variation icon display area or when it is displayed in the opposite direction, a reach effect is further performed. It may be displayed only when not). Note that only one of the change icon display area 208e and the hold icon display area 208f may be provided.

  One or a plurality of hold icons can be displayed in the hold icon display area 208f. On the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 15A, four hold icons h1 to h4 are displayed. These four hold icons h1 to h4 are all displayed with black circles, and the display with white circles indicates that the hold icons are not displayed. The hold icon is an icon indicating that the start of the symbol variation display of the special figure or the success / failure determination of the special figure is held, and the number of the hold icons to be displayed is basically the number of the hold of the special figure variable game. And the same number. The hold icons include the hold icon shown in FIG. 1 and the hold icon shown in FIG. 2, and the hold icon display area 208f may be divided into two to display areas for both icons. Further, the hold icon can be pre-readed about whether or not the hold is appropriate depending on the display mode. As animation related to the hold icon, for example, an increase animation that is executed when the hold increases and a new hold icon is displayed, and the rank of the hold changes due to digestion of the previous hold, and the hold Moving animation that is executed when the icon moves to another display position (for example, the position on the left), change animation that is executed when the display mode of the holding icon changes based on the look-ahead result, etc. Erase animation executed when the hold icon is deleted, and a save animation executed when the hold icon of the non-priority side special figure is evacuated when the hold of the priority side special figure increases in the priority change machine Etc. In addition to the above animation, the stand-by animation that can be executed independently during the period other than the execution of the animation (for example, the period during which there is no increase / decrease of the hold or change of the hold icon) and can be executed in duplicate with the animation. There is. As an example of this standby animation, an animation that is performed on the spot without changing the display position (for example, a repeated animation of a certain scale of animation) is given as an example. Note that a plurality of animations for increasing, moving, changing, erasing, saving, and waiting for the hold icon may be executed in duplicate.

  One variation icon can be displayed in the variation icon display area 208e. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 15B, a star-shaped variation icon c is displayed. The fluctuation icon is an icon corresponding to the special figure variable game that is displayed after the hold is digested and the special figure variable game is started. That is, the hold icon becomes a change icon simultaneously with the start of the special figure change game corresponding to the hold icon. This variation icon is displayed in a display size different from the hold icon (for example, a display size larger than the hold icon). Thereby, although the change icon and the hold icon may be easily identified, they may be the same size. In addition, the variation icon may have a display mode related to the display mode of the hold icon. The change icon can be notified of whether or not the change is appropriate (the change notice) depending on the display mode, and is basically erased at a timing when the result of the change is notified. Therefore, the variation icon can be regarded as an icon related to the hold, and can also be considered as a kind of the hold icon in the sense that the notification of the success / failure result of the special figure change game is held. Note that the erasing timing may be a timing before the timing at which the change success / failure result is notified, the same timing, or a timing after the timing.

  As an animation related to both the hold icon and the change icon, the hold icon displayed in the hold icon display area 208f and having the earliest start winning timing is changed to the change icon display area 208e when the hold is consumed. There are a movement animation for moving the icon as a variable icon and a change animation for changing the display mode of the hold icon to the display mode of the variable icon. These animations may be combined and executed at the same time. When the display mode of the hold icon and the display mode of the variation icon are the same, the execution of the change animation can be omitted.

  The animation related to the fluctuation icon includes a standby animation executed during execution of the special figure variable game, an erase animation executed when the special figure variable game ends and the fluctuation icon is deleted, and a fluctuation icon. There is a change animation executed when the display mode is changed in the middle. These animations may be executed at the same time in combination with each other. Further, the standby animation of the variation icon may be executed at the same time in combination with the movement animation or the change animation.

  Further, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 15, the fourth symbol 2081 of the special figure 1 and the fourth symbol 2082 of the special figure 2 are displayed on the upper right. The 4th symbol 2081 of the special figure 1 is a round display, and the 4th graphic 2082 of the special figure 2 is a square display. In any of the 4th symbols 2081 and 2082, gray indicates that the symbol is changing, black indicates that the jackpot symbol is stopped (determined display), and white indicates that the lose symbol is stopped (determined display). It represents that.

  In addition to the decorative symbol display device 208, FIG. 15 shows a first special symbol display device 212, a second special symbol display device 214, a first special symbol hold lamp 218, and a second special figure hold lamp 220. ing.

  The background of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 15 is a sea pattern. When the sea pattern is displayed in the background, the pachinko machine 100 is in the sea mode among the plurality of types of effect modes prepared.

  In FIG. 15 (a), both the first special figure display device 212 and the second special figure display device 214 display the stop symbol of the losing (determined display). "Decoration 3"-"Decoration 4"-"Decoration 1" are displayed. In addition, the fourth symbol 2081 of the special figure 1 and the fourth symbol 2082 of the special figure 2 are both displayed in a stopped state. The four first special symbol holding lamps 218 shown in FIG. 15A are lit, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays four black circle holding icons which are the holding indications of the special figure 1. Therefore, no variation icon is displayed in the variation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 15B, the special symbol display of the special symbol is started in the first special symbol display device 212, and the decorative symbol of the decorative symbol display device 208 is also started to be displayed. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol update (variation display) is continuously performed in each of the left symbol display region 208a, the middle symbol display region 208b, and the right symbol display region 208c. The special symbol variation display started here continues until FIG. 15 (o). Further, only three first special symbol hold lamps 218 shown in FIG. 15B are lit, and only three hold icons (hold icons h1 to h3) are displayed in the hold icon display area 208f of the decorative symbol display device 208. The star-shaped variation icon c is displayed in the variation icon display area 208e. This is because, among the four hold icons h1 to h4 displayed in FIG. 5A, the hold icon h1 with the oldest start winning timing becomes a change icon, and the change icon display from the hold icon display area 208f. This is a result of moving to the area 208e. Furthermore, the 4th symbol 2081 of the special figure 1 which is a round display is changed to a display during change (gray).

  In FIG. 15 (c), the decoration symbol update is completed in the left symbol display area 208a, and the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started. In FIG. 15 (d), this time, the decoration symbol update is completed in the right symbol display area 208c, the display of the “decoration 5” is started, and the effect is as if it is a reach state. In FIG. 15 (e), the update of the decorative symbol is also completed in the middle symbol display area 208b in which the decorative symbol has been updated, and the display of the symbol “NEXT” is started. That is, in FIG. 15 (e), the update of the decorative symbols is completed in all the three symbol display areas 208a to 208c, and the shaking display is performed. In the first special figure display device 212 shown in FIG. 15 (d), the special figure variation display of the special figure is still continued, and the fourth figure 2081 of the special figure 1, which is a round display, is also displayed during fluctuation (gray). The star-shaped fluctuation icon c is still displayed in the fluctuation icon display area 208e. The state in which all of the decorative symbols are updated and the shaking display is performed as shown in FIG. 15E is a state in which the special symbol variation display is in progress, and ““ decoration 5 ”−“ NEXT ”is displayed. The symbol “-decoration 5” ”is a display of“ temporary stop ”, and the symbol“ NEXT ”is a so-called pseudo-continuous symbol that appears when the pseudo-continuous production starts. It corresponds to an example. Note that the time when the pseudo-continuous effect is started may be immediately before the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, may be simultaneously with the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, or immediately after the start of the pseudo-continuous effect. It may be. Further, the pseudo-continuous symbol may be a dedicated symbol that appears only during the pseudo-continuous performance, or is a decorative symbol (for example, “decoration 7”) shown in FIG. May be. Moreover, there may be a plurality of types of symbols when the pseudo-continuous performance is performed. For example, a pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” may be displayed in a shaking manner, or a combination of the first decorative symbols such as “decoration 4”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 6” may be temporarily stopped. . The symbol displayed as “NEXT” in FIG. 15F corresponds to an example of a first notification for notifying that the pseudo-continuous production is started. The temporary stop display looks as if the special symbol change display final display (true stop display) has been performed.

  In addition, after the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “pseudo-continuous start” is displayed in a shaking manner, a notification that the pseudo-continuous effect is actually started (for example, display of a symbol displayed as “pseudo-continuous start confirmation”) is issued. You may go. In this case, a notification that the pseudo continuous effect is actually started may be handled as a pseudo continuous symbol, or a notification that the pseudo continuous effect is actually started may be an example of the first notification.

  In FIG. 15 (f), the pseudo-continuous symbol has disappeared. That is, the first notification is once ended, and the decorative symbol update (revariation display) is started in all the three symbol display areas 208a to 208c. It should be noted that the symbol variation display of the special figure is still continued, the first special symbol display device 212 and the fourth symbol 2081 of the special Fig. 1 are in the variable display, and the variation icon c is also displayed. However, the start of re-variation display here seems as if the start of special symbol variation display has been performed. Further, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 15 (f), the characters “× 2” are displayed on the background of the sea pattern. In the example shown in FIG. 15, the re-variable display is the first time, but when viewed as a special symbol variation display, when the pseudo-continuous production is started, the special variation started in FIG. After the symbol variation display, it looks like the symbol variation display of the second special symbol, and the character display of “× 2” is made to represent it. That is, the character display “× 2” is a notification indicating the number of times related to the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, and the number of re-variable display (here, “1 time”) is changed to FIG. This is a notification representing the number of times of adding the number of symbol fluctuation display times ("1 time") of the special figure started in step S2. This character display of “× 2” corresponds to an example of a second notification. The second notification is a notification executed in the sea mode in which a sea pattern is displayed on the background of the decorative symbol display device 208.

  Note that the second notification indicating the number of times related to the start of the pseudo-continuous effect starts display of the pseudo-continuous symbol (first notification) displayed as “NEXT” at the timing of FIG. At the same time, it may be displayed.

  In FIG. 15 (g), the update of the decorative symbol in the left symbol display area 208a is finished again, and the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started. In FIG. 15 (h), the decorative symbol in the right symbol display area 208c is updated. Is finished again, and the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started, and the effect as if it is a reach state is performed again. In FIG. 15 (i), the update of the decorative symbol in the middle symbol display area 208b is also completed, and the second temporary stop is started by starting the shaking display of the symbol displayed as “NEXT” which is a pseudo-continuous symbol. Is displayed. When the temporary stop is displayed, the character display “× 2” corresponding to an example of the second notification disappears. Then, in FIG. 15 (j), the pseudo-continuous symbol disappears again, the first notification is once again terminated, and the re-variable display that seems to have started the special symbol variation display is started again. ing. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 15 (j), the characters “× 3” are displayed on the background of the sea pattern. The character display of “× 3” is also a notification indicating the number of times related to the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, and starts in FIG. 15B at the number of times of re-variable display (here, “2 times”). This is a notification representing the number of times of adding the number of symbol variation display times (“one time”) of the special figure. This character display of “× 3” also corresponds to an example of the second notification.

  In FIG. 15 (k), the update of the decorative symbol in the left symbol display area 208a is finished again, and the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started. In FIG. 15 (l), the decorative symbol in the right symbol display area 208c is updated. The display of the “decoration 5” is also started, and in the same figure (m), the display of the decorative symbol is reduced and displayed in the upper left, and the three symbol display areas 208a to 208c are replaced with the decorative symbol. The letters “SP reach” are displayed. That is, the development from the reach state to the super reach in FIG. 15L is reported in FIG. Therefore, the update of the left decorative symbol in FIG. 15 (k) is the so-called first stop (the state where the update of the left decorative symbol has been stopped but not yet confirmed, such as shaking). The end of the update of the right decorative symbol in FIG. 15 (l) is a so-called second stop (the update of the right decorative symbol is stopped but not yet confirmed, and is shaken) Or the like).

  The character display of “× 3” (second notification) disappears at the same time as the development notification to Super Reach (here, the character display of “SP reach”) is displayed. In this example, the second notification is both the character display “× 2” and the character display “× 3”. However, the second notification is performed at the temporary stop timing in FIG. Once finished, the second notification is started again at the start of the re-variable display. The second notification is only invisible at the timing of temporary stop in FIG. 15 (i), and the second notification itself continues, The second notification is visible again. Can also be seen. However, in any case, the second notification is terminated at the same time as the development notification to super reach is displayed. In addition, when it develops to super reach, the 4th symbols 2081 and 2082 and the fluctuation icon c continue to be displayed, but the hold icons h1 to h3 disappear and become invisible. However, the frame-like image indicating the positions of the fluctuation icon c and the fluctuation icon display area 208e may disappear and become invisible when developed into super reach.

  In FIG. 15 (n), as a part of the super reach production, a combination of decorative symbols such as “decoration 5”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 5” is displayed in a shaking manner. Up to this FIG. 15 (n), both the first special figure display device 212 and the fourth symbol 2081 of the special figure 1 are in a variable display.

  In FIG. 15 (o), the stop symbol of 15R special big hit is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 212 (true stop display), and the fourth symbol 2081 of special Fig. 1 is also being stopped on the big hit symbol. In the decorative symbol display device 208, a combination of decorative symbols such as “decoration 5”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 5” is stopped and displayed (true stop display). In the first special figure display device 212, the final display is performed after the stop display, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the combination of “decoration 5”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 5” is displayed during the period of the final display. The stop display is continued, and then the big hit game is started.

  Note that the star-shaped variation icon c remains displayed in the variation icon display area 208e in FIG. 15 (o), and continues to be displayed during the fixed display period. Disappears. However, the change icon c may disappear at the same time when the development notification to the super reach is started (timing of FIG. 15 (m)), or at the same time when the true stop display is performed (of FIG. 15 (o)). It may disappear at (timing). Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (o), even if the stop display (true stop display) is made, the hold icons h1 to h3 remain disappeared and become invisible, but the stop display (true stop display). After that, the display of the hold icons h1 to h3 may be restored.

  Also, “× 1” from the timing when the special symbol display of the special symbol on the first special symbol display device 212 of FIG. 15B is started, that is, the timing when the decorative symbol display of the decorative symbol display device 208 is started. May be started. In this case, the character display of “× 1” is displayed in the period of FIG. 15B to FIG. 15D, and is started before the start of the pseudo-continuous effect, and is executed before the start of the pseudo-continuous effect. Display. The character display of “× 1” is a notice that the pseudo-continuous production will be started or may be developed into a pseudo-continuous production, and corresponds to the first notification.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing in a stepwise manner an example of a pseudo-continuous effect performed by the decorative symbol display device 208 in which a dark pattern is displayed in the background. In FIG. 16 also, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses. Hereinafter, the description which overlaps with the example demonstrated using FIG. 15 may be abbreviate | omitted.

  The background of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 16 is a dark pattern. When a dark pattern is displayed on the background, the pachinko machine 100 is in the dark mode among the plurality of types of effect modes prepared.

  FIGS. 16A to 16E are the same as FIGS. 15A to 15E except that the background is different.

  In FIG. 16 (f), the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” disappears (the first notification is once ended), and the first re-variation display is started. As in the example shown in FIG. It seems that the special symbol variation display has started. However, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 16F, the notification (second notification) indicating the number of times related to the start of the pseudo-continuous effect is not started on the background of the dark pattern. This second notification is not started even in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 16 (j) where the re-variable display is started again. The second notification is a notification that is not executed in the dark mode in which a dark pattern is displayed on the background of the decorative symbol display device 208. On the other hand, the pseudo continuous symbol as an example of the first notification is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 every time a temporary stop is made (see FIG. 16E and FIG. 16I).

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing in a stepwise manner an example of a pseudo-continuous effect performed by a pachinko machine provided with an accessory that is the first movable means. In FIG. 17 also, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses. Hereinafter, the description which overlaps with the example demonstrated using FIG. 15 may be abbreviate | omitted.

  A first movable body 2243 and a second movable body 2244 are provided on the right side of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. The first movable body 2243 is marked with the letter “Yoshi” and the second movable body 2244 is marked with the letter “Mune”. The display mode of both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 can be changed. Specifically, the display mode can be changed by turning on and off the light emitting means provided inside. In FIG. 17, a hatched state represents a lighting state, and a blank state represents a light-off state. Further, whether the first movable body 2243 or the second movable body 2244 is operated on the player side (front side) with respect to the decorative symbol display device 208, the movable area of the first movable body 2243 In addition, the movable area of the second movable body 2244 also overlaps a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208. The first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 can be operated independently of each other or can be interlocked. A combination of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 corresponds to an example of the first movable means.

  The example shown in FIG. 17 is the same as the example shown in FIG. 15 except that the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 operate. That is, the number of times related to the start of the pseudo-continuous effect that is started at the start of the first notification by the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” and the re-variable display, which is executed at the temporary stop. A second notification is performed. The background of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 17 is unpatterned, but the pachinko machine in the example of FIG. 17 is in the accessory effect mode among a plurality of types of effect modes. . The second notification is a notification that is also executed in the accessory effect mode.

  The first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 shown in FIG. 17A are both in the initial position (corresponding to an example of the first position), and are in a light-off state.

  As shown in FIG. 17C, both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are turned on at the timing when the decoration symbol update in the left symbol display area 208a is completed, and the decoration symbol is displayed from the initial position. The display device 208 advances all the way to a position overlapping the display area of the display device 208. That is, the operation of the first movable means is started. As a result, the first movable body 2243 hides a part of the 4th pattern 2082 of FIG. 2 and makes it difficult to visually recognize it, and the second movable body 2244 allows the fastest holding icon (fourth The display position of the hold icon) is hidden.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17D, the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are both turned on at the timing when the decoration symbol update in the right symbol display area 208c ends. From the position (corresponding to an example of the second position) to the initial position, they are all retracted, returned to the unlit state, and the operation is terminated. As a result, the portion hidden in the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 in the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 becomes visible.

  Then, after the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 return to the initial positions, as shown in FIG. 17E, a temporary stop is performed, and the pseudo-continuous pattern (“NEXT” is displayed) First notification) is displayed. Note that the first notification may be executed before the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 return to the initial position, and the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are in the initial position. At the same time, the first notification may be executed. Alternatively, any one of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 corresponds to an example of the first notification, and the other operation corresponding to one corresponds to the operation of the first movable means. In some cases.

  In this example, both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 operate, but at least one movable body among the plurality of movable bodies constituting the first movable means operates. The operation may be performed without changing the display mode.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17 (f), re-variable display is started, and a character display of “× 2” (second notification) is made on the patternless background in the decorative symbol display device 208. . Therefore, the execution of the second notification is started after the operations of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 (first movable means) are started.

  After the re-variable display is started, as shown in FIG. 17G, at the timing when the decoration symbol update in the left symbol display area 208a is finished again, the first movable display is performed as in FIG. The operation of the body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 is started, and as shown in FIG. 17H, at the timing when the update of the decorative symbol in the right symbol display area 208c is completed, as in FIG. The first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are all retracted to the initial position, returned to the unlit state, and the operation is finished. Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (i), the temporary stop is performed again, a pseudo-continuous pattern (first notification) displayed as “NEXT” is displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 17 (j). Then, the re-variation display is started again, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays the character “x3” (second notification). Therefore, the execution of the second notification is started after the operations of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 (first movable means) are started.

  The pseudo-continuous effect ends when the second re-variable display shown in FIG. 17 (j) is started. In the first stop shown in FIG. 17 (k), the first movable body 2243 is also in the second state. The movable body 2244 also does not start to operate, and remains in the initial position in the unlit state until the stop display (true stop display). In the example shown in FIG. 17, the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 (first movable means) start to operate only during execution of the pseudo-continuous effect.

  Note that even if the pseudo-continuous presentation is not being executed, the first movable means may start to operate, or if the pseudo-continuous presentation is not being executed, the display mode is changed while stopping at the initial position. Further, an operation different from the operation in which the pseudo-continuous performance is being executed may be performed. That is, at the timing of FIG. 17 (j), the first movable means may start the operation, or may change only the display mode. Different operations may be initiated.

  Here, both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 operate together, but there may be a case where only one of them operates.

  In the example shown in FIG. 17, when the first movable means operates, the first movable means is displayed on the front side of the fourth symbol and the hold icon displayed on the display means such as the decorative symbol display device 208. It moves, but it does not move to the front side of the decorative symbol fluctuation display or the front side of the fluctuation icon, but only moves so as to cover a part, but the size of the first movable means is increased and decoration You may move so that all the display means, such as the symbol display apparatus 208, may be covered. In addition, when the movable means further advances in the diagonally upper left direction, diagonally lower right direction, and further to the left direction, the way of covering the display screen may be changed depending on the operation mode of the movable means.

  Further, while the character display (second notification) “× 2” is being made, as shown in FIG. 17 (h), the first movable means is returning to the initial position while being lit. After returning to the initial position, the character display of “× 3” (second notification) is started. Further, the first movable means may be turned off simultaneously with the return to the initial position, or after the return to the initial position and before the character display (second notification) of “× 3” is started. May be turned off during the period of time, or may be turned off simultaneously with the start of the character display of “× 3”.

  Further, in an example where the operation of the first movable means (the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244) is not described in the following description, the operation of the first movable means described with reference to FIG. Are combined.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing in a stepwise manner another example of a pseudo-continuous effect performed by a pachinko machine provided with an accessory that is the first movable means. In FIG. 18 also, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the example described with reference to FIG. 17 may be omitted.

  A first movable body 2243 and a second movable body 2244 are also provided on the right side of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 18, but in the example shown in FIG. The second movable body 2244 also remains in the initial position in the unlit state throughout. As described with reference to FIG. 17, the second notification is a notification in which execution is started after the operations of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 (first movable means) are started. As long as neither the first movable body 2243 nor the second movable body 2244 starts to operate, the second notification is not started even when the re-variable display is started (FIG. 18 (f), FIG. j)). That is, the second notification in the examples shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is a notification executed in conjunction with the operation of the first movable means. In other words, the second notification is a notification that is executed only after the operation of the first movable means is performed. Whether or not the first movable means operates may correspond to the effect mode. For example, the first movable means may be operated in the mountain mode where the background of the decorative symbol display device 208 is a mountain pattern, and the first movable means may not be operated in the empty mode where the background is the sky pattern. Thus, the first movable means does not always operate during the pseudo-continuous performance, and may not operate. Whether or not the operation of the first movable means can be executed may be determined by a lottery process of the first sub-control unit 400. In addition, when the lottery process is won and the first movable means operates, the second notification may be always executed after the start of the operation of the first movable means. Whether or not the second notification can be executed is also determined by the lottery process of the first sub-control unit 400, and the second notification is executed even if the first movable means starts operating. And may not be executed. Furthermore, the operation of the first movable means may be performed even during execution of the pseudo-continuous effect (for example, during a big hit game or super reach).

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of an effect related to the first notification.

  In FIG. 19 (a), the decoration symbol update is completed in both the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c, the display of “decoration 5” is started, and the effect is as if it is a reach state. Yes. Moreover, in the middle symbol display area 208b, the decorative symbol variation display is continued, but in the middle symbol display area 208b, a pattern 701 that prompts the user to press the chance button 700 shown in FIG. 1 is displayed. It is difficult to visually recognize a part of the state in which the symbols are variably displayed. Also, below the pattern 701, a bar display 702 indicating the remaining period of the reception period for pressing the chance button is displayed. Hereinafter, an effect in which the pattern 701 is displayed or an effect in which a set of the pattern 701 and the bar display 702 is displayed may be referred to as a button effect.

  A player who sees the pattern 701 and the bar display 702 presses the chance button 700 (FIG. 19B).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), the update of the decoration symbol is completed even in the middle symbol display area 208b in which the decoration symbol has been continuously updated, and the quasi-continuous symbol shaking display of “NEXT” is started. Has been. That is, the first notification is started. In this production example, when the chance button 700 is pressed, a temporary stop is performed. Therefore, the earlier the timing of pressing the chance button 700, the earlier the timing at which the temporary stop is performed (the timing at which the first notification is performed). Will also be faster. Even when the chance button 700 is not pressed within the reception period for pressing the chance button, a temporary stop (first notification) may be performed after the reception period has elapsed, or the chance may be received within the reception period. When the button 700 is not pressed, the execution of the pseudo continuous effect may be canceled so that the temporary stop (first notification) is not performed.

  FIG. 19A is another example following FIG. The player who sees the pattern 701 and the bar display 702 shown in FIG. 19A presses the chance button 700. In this effect example, when the chance button 700 is pressed, it is determined whether the pseudo-continuous effect is started. In FIG. 19 (B), “decoration 6” that is not a pseudo-continuous symbol is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b in a shaking manner, and it is notified that it does not develop into a pseudo-continuous effect. Following FIG. 19B, the combination of “decoration 5”-“decoration 6”-“decoration 5” is fixedly displayed (true stop display). On the other hand, in the case of developing into a pseudo-continuous effect, the pseudo-continuous design is displayed in a shaking manner as shown in FIG.

  As a reverse effect, after temporarily displaying “decoration 6” that is not a pseudo-continuous design, instead of the “decoration 6”, the pseudo-continuous design is displayed in a shaking manner as shown in FIG. You may develop into a pseudo-continuous production.

  In the middle symbol display area 208b in FIG. 19A, the decorative symbol variation display is continued, but in the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c, “decoration 5” is displayed in a shaking manner. . In FIG. 19 (a) following FIG. 19 (a), the middle symbol display area 208b displays the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” at a visible speed, and a part of the pseudo-continuous symbol is displayed. In order to hide, a pattern 701 that prompts the user to press the chance button 700 shown in FIG. 1 and a bar display 702 that represents the remaining period of the reception period of the chance button press are displayed. That is, a part of the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” (here, the lower part) is covered by the pattern 701, but the pseudo-continuous symbol is not covered by the bar display 702.

  The player who has seen the pattern 701 and the bar display 702 presses the chance button 700 (FIG. 19 (U)). Also in this production example, when the chance button 700 is pressed, it is determined whether or not the pseudo-continuous production is started.

  In the case of developing into the pseudo-continuous effect, as shown in FIG. 19 (e), the pseudo-symbol symbol displayed as “NEXT” remains in the middle symbol display area 208b, and the first notification is performed. On the other hand, when it does not develop into the pseudo-continuous effect, “decoration 6” is displayed in a shaking manner in the middle symbol display area 08b instead of the pseudo-continuous symbol as in FIG. 19B.

  Also in FIG. 19A, while the decorative symbol variation display is continued in the middle symbol display area 208b, the “decoration 5” is displayed in the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c. ing. Eventually, as shown in FIG. 19A, an enlarged display of pseudo-continuous symbols is performed on the entire screen. The enlarged display of the pseudo-continuous symbols overlaps the “decoration 5” that has been displayed in a shaking manner and the middle symbol display area 208b that has been displayed in a variably manner, thereby making these invisible. Eventually, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c display the “decoration 5” swinging, and the middle symbol display area 208b displays “NEXT”. Pseudo-continuous pattern shaking is displayed, and a temporary stop is displayed. In this production example, the first notification may be a quasi-continuous pattern swaying display in the temporary stop shown in FIG. 19 (c), but is started before the pseudo-continuous presentation starts ( The enlarged display shown in a) may be used. If the first notification is a display before the pseudo-continuous effect is started, the first notification is a preliminary notification of the pseudo-continuous effect.

  FIGS. 19 (I) to (III) are diagrams showing an example of a so-called step-up effect.

  The step-up effect is an effect executed during the symbol variation display executed for one start winning prize, or an effect performed over a plurality of symbol variation displays. In the former case, a notice effect of the variation ( Normal notice effect), and the latter case is a pre-read notice effect. The step-up effect refers to an effect in which the effect mode (display mode, sound mode, light emission mode, operation mode, etc.) changes (steps up) in a plurality of stages. That is, the effect is repeatedly executed, and the effect is stepped up every time the effect is executed. Generally, the greater the number of changes (number of steps), the higher the reliability (expectation). Many of the notices are for notifying that a jackpot or reach will be reached, but may be a notice for a promising big hit, a specific reach, or a promotion to certainty. Further, the object to be notified may be changed according to the number of times of change (number of steps). For example, “reach confirmation” when going to step 3, “super reach confirmation” when going to step 4, “big hit confirmation” when going to step 5 may be used. The change in the notice mode (step-up) may be such that different characters appear in order or the shape, color, etc. of one character changes. In other words, as long as it is possible to recognize that the state of the notice means (display means, sound output means, light emitting means, movable means, etc.) as viewed from the player is changed stepwise, the step is not limited to the example described here. It can be said that it is an up production.

  The step-up notice may be executed during re-change display during the pseudo-continuous production. In other words, when the re-variation display is executed twice (in this case, the number of times of quasi-continuations is three times including the first symbol change start time), the step-up notice can be executed four times. In that case, it becomes possible to notify the player that the reliability is higher by increasing the number of step-ups as the number of pseudo-ream progresses.

  FIG. 19 (I) shows a picture 701 for pressing the chance button 700 shown in FIG. 1, which is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b which continues the variable display shown in FIG. 19 (a), and the chance button press. It is the bar display 702 showing the remaining period of the reception period. The pattern 701 shown in FIG. 19 (I) is an effect like a reach state at the first time of the first symbol variation start, in other words, the state before the first temporary stop (the number of times of pseudo-continuous operation, for example, , The same state as in FIG. 15D).

  The pattern 701 ′ shown in FIG. 19 (II) is an effect like a reach state in the first re-variation display, in other words, the state after the first temporary stop (the second number of pseudo consecutive times, for example, FIG. 15 (h), the same state). The pattern 701 shown in FIG. 19 (I) is a picture representing the chance button 700 in the off state, but the picture 701 ′ shown in FIG. 19 (II) is a picture representing the chance button 700 in the on state and is flashy. The ease of attention is stepping up as compared to the pattern 701 shown in FIG. 19I, and the reliability (expectation) is higher than that of the pattern 701 shown in FIG.

  The pattern 701 ″ shown in FIG. 19 (III) is the true reach state in the second re-variable display, in other words, the state after the second temporary stop (the number of pseudo consecutive times is the third time, for example, FIG. 15 ( the same state as in 1). The pattern 701 ″ prompts the user to operate the operation lever 190 shown in FIG. 1, and the bar display 702 ″ below the symbol 701 ″ represents the remaining period of the operation lever operation reception period. The operation target of the pattern 701 ″ illustrated in FIG. 19 (III) is different from that of the pattern 701 ′ illustrated in FIG. 19 (II). The operation lever 190 protrudes from the chance button 700. In this sense, the pattern 701 ″ shown in FIG. 19 (III) is stepped up from the pattern 701 ′ shown in FIG. The reliability (expectation) is higher than the pattern 701 ′ shown in FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 19 (I) to (III), a plurality of types of patterns (button images) in the button effect are prepared, and the pseudo-continuous patterns are also displayed as “NEXT” or “ A plurality of types such as “decoration 5” symbols are prepared, and the overlapping state differs depending on the combination of the button image and the pseudo-continuous symbol. However, a part or all of the pseudo-continuous symbols may be hidden by part or all of the button image, and the bar display may be an aspect in which part or all of the pseudo-continuous symbols are not always hidden. The part or the whole may be an aspect of hiding a part or the whole of the pseudo-continuous pattern. Alternatively, on the contrary, part or all of the button image may be hidden by part or all of the pseudo-continuous design, and the bar display may not be always hidden by part or all of the pseudo-continuous design. A part or all of the display may be hidden by part or all of the pseudo-continuous pattern.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a display effect that changes as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  FIG. 20A is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 at the first pseudo-continuous number (first symbol variation display), and the variation icon display region 208e is cross-hatched in a white star shape. A display mode variation icon c is displayed.

  FIG. 20B is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second quasi-continuous number (first re-variable display), and a gray and non-patterned star-shaped display mode is displayed in the variable icon display area 208e. The fluctuation icon c is displayed.

  FIG. 20 (c) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the third quasi-continuous number of times (second re-variable display). The variable icon display area 208e is cross-hatched in a gray star shape. The fluctuation icon c is displayed.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the display mode of the fluctuation icon c becomes flashy as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  FIG. 20A is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 at the first pseudo-continuous number of times (first symbol variation display). The background image of this decorative symbol display device 208 displays a dead tree on a white background. It is an image.

  FIG. 20B is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second quasi-continuous number of times (first revariable display), and the background image of the decorative symbol display device 208 withered in a light gray background. This is an image showing a tree.

  FIG. 20 (C) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the third quasi-continuous number (second re-variable display), and the background image of this decorative symbol display device 208 withered in a dark gray background. This is an image showing a tree.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the background color of the background image becomes darker as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases. Note that the greater the number of pseudo-continuations, the higher the degree of expectation (big hit reliability). That is, the expectation is higher in the character display representing the pseudo-continuous number “× 3” than in the character display representing the pseudo-continuous number “× 2”.

  Here, in the example in which the background image changes as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases, the background of the change icon or the hold icon may change. In this case, the appearance of the change icon and / or the hold icon may be changed by changing the background image. For example, as the number of pseudo-continuations increases, the variation icon and / or the hold icon may be confused with the background and become less visible. In addition, the fluctuation icon and / or the hold icon may be difficult to see only when the number of pseudo consecutive times is the first number. Furthermore, the same can be said not only for the background image but also for the effect image.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 20A to 20U, frame display is performed on the decorative symbol display device 208. FIG.

  FIG. 20A is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 at the first pseudo-continuous number of times (first symbol variation display), and the frame display 2083 of this decorative symbol display device 208 is a single-hatched frame. It is a display.

  FIG. 20 (i) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second quasi-continuous number of times (the first re-variable display), and the frame display 2083 ′ of this decorative symbol display device 208 has coarse cross-hatching. This is a frame display.

  FIG. 20 (b) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the third quasi-continuous number of times (second re-variable display), and the frame display 2083 '' of this decorative symbol display device 208 is fine cross-hatching. It is a frame display to which is given.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the frame display becomes flashy as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases. The frame display can also be viewed as an effect display, in which case it can also be viewed as a step-up effect in which the effect display becomes flashy as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a combination effect that changes as the number of pseudo-continuous operations increases.

  FIG. 21 (a) is a diagram showing a state in the first quasi-continuous number of times (first symbol variation display), a decorative symbol display device 208, and a first movable body 2243 whose right side is the initial position. A second movable body 2244 is shown. The first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 shown in FIG. 21A are both lit in blue at the initial position.

  FIG. 21B is a diagram showing a state in the second pseudo-continuous number (first re-variable display), and both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are yellow at the initial position. Lights up.

  FIG. 21 (c) is a diagram showing a state in the third quasi-continuous operation (second re-variable display), and both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are red at the initial position. Lights up.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the display mode of the accessory that is the first movable means changes as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases.

  In this example, as the number of pseudo-continuations increases, the display mode of the accessory that is the first movable means is blue (first display mode) → yellow (second display mode) → red (third Display mode), but may be interrupted for a moment as the number of pseudo-continuations increases. For example, blue (first display mode) → off (fourth display mode) → yellow It may be (second display mode) → off (fourth display mode) → red (third display mode).

  FIG. 21A is a diagram showing a state in the first pseudo continuous number of times (first symbol variation display), and both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 remain in the initial position. Yes, lit (for example, lit green).

  FIG. 21B is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second quasi-continuous number (the first re-variable display), and both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are lit. However, only the first movable body 2243 out of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 advances from the initial position and stops at a position where the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 partially overlaps.

  FIG. 21 (C) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the third quasi-continuous number (second re-variable display), and the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are both lit. Then, the second movable body 2244 remaining at the initial position advances this time, and stops at a position where the second movable body 2244 partially overlaps the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208. As a result, both the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 are stopped in a lit state at a position partially overlapping the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the display of the accessory as the first movable means is the same as the number of pseudo-continuations increases, but the action of the accessory changes.

  In this example, although the lighting mode does not change, the lighting mode may change before the operation of the movable body, or the lighting mode may change simultaneously with the start of the operation of the movable body. Alternatively, the lighting mode may change after the operation of the movable body is started. That is, the lighting mode may change during the operation of the movable body. Further, the lighting mode may change before the operation of the movable body ends, or the lighting mode may change simultaneously with the end of the operation of the movable body. Alternatively, the lighting mode may be changed after the operation of the movable body is completed. Here, the change in lighting mode includes a change in emission color, a change in the interval between lighting and extinguishing, and the fact that a lighting item remains extinguished.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 21A to 21U, the first light emitting means 2245, the second light emitting means 2246, and the third light emitting means 2247 are arranged in a vertical line on the right side of the decorative symbol display device 208. Is provided.

  FIG. 21 (a) is a diagram showing a state in the first quasi-continuous number of times (first symbol variation display). Of the first light emitting means 2245, the second light emitting means 2246, and the third light emitting means 2247, FIG. Only the first light emitting means 2245 at the bottom is turned on, and the upper two light emitting means (2246, 2247) remain off.

  FIG. 21 (i) is a diagram showing a state in the second quasi-continuous number of times (the first re-variable display). In addition to the first light-emitting means 2245, the second light-emitting means 2246 is also lit. Only the upper third light emitting means 2247 remains off.

  FIG. 21 (u) is a diagram showing a state in the third pseudo-continuous number (second re-variable display), and the third remaining light emitting means 2247 is also turned on and all three light emitting means are illuminated. Is lit.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the number of lighting of the accessory increases as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating another example of a display effect that changes as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  FIG. 22B is a diagram showing a state of temporary stop (first temporary stop) at the first pseudo-continuous number (first symbol variation display). In the middle symbol display area 208b, “NEXT” is displayed. The quasi-continuous pattern is displayed with shaking. The pseudo-continuous symbol shown in FIG. 22B has the same size as the decorative symbol (here, “decoration 5”) displayed in a shaking manner in the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208b.

  FIG. 22D is a diagram showing a state of temporary stop (second temporary stop) in the second quasi-continuous number (first revariable display), and the middle symbol display area 208b shown in FIG. 22D. However, the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” is displayed in a shaking manner. However, the pseudo-continuous symbol shown in FIG. 22 (d) is larger than the decorative symbol (here “decoration 5”) displayed in a shaking manner in the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208b. It is larger than the pseudo-continuous pattern shown in (b). In addition, the pseudo-continuous pattern shown in FIG. 22 (d) has a pattern on the base and is flashy. Note that the pseudo continuous symbol shown in FIG. 22D may be switched and displayed after the pseudo continuous symbol (normal display mode) shown in FIG. 22B is displayed once.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the size and flashiness of the pseudo-continuous symbols increase as the number of pseudo-continuous times increases.

  FIG. 22B is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second pseudo-repetition number (first re-variable display), and a character display (second notification) indicating the pseudo-repetition number “× 2”. Is running. This character display of “× 2” is blue.

  FIG. 22C is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second pseudo-continuous number (second re-variable display), and a character display (second notification) indicating the pseudo-continuous number “× 3”. Is running. The character display “× 3” is red, which is larger than the character display “× 2” shown in FIG.

  The above-described example corresponds to a step-up effect in which the character display indicating the number of pseudo-continuations that is the second notification increases and the color changes as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  FIG. 22 (i) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second pseudo-continuous number (the first re-variable display), and a red character display (second display) indicating the pseudo-continuous number “× 2”. Notification) is being executed.

  FIG. 22 (b) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second pseudo-continuous number (second re-variable display), in which three face figures of Tono-sama characters are arranged side by side. The face figure of the Tono-sama character corresponds to an example of a second notification indicating the number of pseudo-continuations, and the number of pseudo-continuations is represented by the number of face figures. Note that the face graphic shown in FIG. 22 (u) may be switched and displayed after the character display of “× 3” (normal display mode) is displayed once.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the notification mode representing the number of pseudo continuous operations, which is the second notification, changes as the number of pseudo continuous operations increases.

  Note that the display effect described with reference to FIG. 22 that changes as the number of pseudo-continuations increases is overlapped with another display (for example, a display of a decorative design or a display of a hold icon). Or other displays may be overlapped.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating examples of other step-up effects.

  FIG. 23B is a diagram showing a state of temporary stop (first temporary stop) at the first pseudo-continuous number (first symbol variation display). In the middle symbol display area 208b, “NEXT” is displayed. The pseudo-continuous pattern is displayed in a shaking manner, and a step-up sound for one beat is output from the speaker 120. That is, in this example, a step-up sound is output simultaneously with the temporary stop, and this step-up sound also corresponds to an example of the first notification together with the pseudo-continuous pattern.

  FIG. 23 (d) is a diagram showing a state of temporary stop (second temporary stop) in the second quasi-continuous number (first revariable display), and the middle symbol display area 208b shown in FIG. 23 (d). However, the pseudo continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” is displayed in a shaking manner, which is the same as the pseudo continuous symbol shown in FIG. However, the step-up sound for two beats is output from the speaker 120 shown in FIG.

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the step-up sound changes as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases.

  Note that the output timing of the step-up sound may be the start timing of the re-variation display in addition to the temporary stop timing. Further, as the number of pseudo-continuations increases, the step-up sound may have a form in which the volume increases even if the number of beats is the same, or a form in which the step-up sound changes to a different melody.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 23A to 23C, effect display is performed on the decorative symbol display device 208.

  FIG. 23A is a diagram showing a state immediately after the first re-variable display, which is the second pseudo-continuous number, is started. In the decorative symbol display device 208, an effect display 2084 subjected to single hatching is shown. Is running. In addition, a level display “LV: 1” representing the level of the effect is displayed on the lower left of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 23B is a diagram illustrating a state after a lapse of time since the first re-variation display is started. In this decorative symbol display device 208, effect display with coarse cross-hatching is performed. It has changed to 2084 '. In addition, a level display “LV: 2” is displayed on the lower left of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 23C is a diagram showing a state after a lapse of time since the start of the first re-variable display. In the decorative symbol display device 208, effect display with fine cross-hatching is performed. It has changed to 2084 ''. In addition, a level display “LV: 3” is displayed on the lower left of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG.

  The example described above is an effect of stepping up as the effect level rises regardless of the number of pseudo-continuous times, and may be executed during the pseudo-continuous effect. In this case, the level increases at a timing different from the temporary stop timing or at a timing different from the re-variable display start timing.

  Note that the effect icon display is not always applied to the fluctuation icon display area 208e and the hold icon display area 208f, and the effect display is applied to the character display representing the effect level as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases. Alternatively, the effect display may not always be applied to the fluctuation icon display area 208e and the hold icon display area 208f, and the effect display may always be applied to the character display indicating the effect level.

  In addition, the effect display may be interrupted for a moment while the number of pseudo-continuations increases, or may be always displayed without interruption.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the pseudo-continuous effect is not started and an example in which it is started in the opposite direction.

  In FIG. 24C, in the first symbol variation display, “decoration 5” is displayed in the left symbol display area 208a, and “decoration 5” is displayed in the right symbol display area 208c. However, in the middle symbol display area 208b, the decorative symbol variation display is continued.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 24D, the pseudo-continuous symbols do not appear, the temporary stop is not performed in all the symbol display areas 208a to 208c, and the reach effect is entered. In some cases, a combination of lost decorative patterns (for example, “decoration 5”-“decoration 2”-“decoration 5”) is confirmed (true stop display) without entering the reach effect.

  In FIG. 24A, in the first symbol variation display, “decoration 5” is displayed in the left symbol display area 208a. In FIG. 24B, “decoration 5” is also displayed in the right symbol display area 208c. In the same figure (C), the display is shifted by one, and in the right symbol display area 208c, the display of “decoration 6” is started. Therefore, the state of FIG. 24C is not the same state as the reach state. However, in FIG. 24D, the pseudo-continuous symbols displayed as “NEXT” in the middle symbol display area 208b start swaying and temporarily stopped in all the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. Continuous production has started. Thus, even if the state is not the same as the reach state, the pseudo continuous symbol may be started.

  In addition, even if the temporary stop is not performed in all the symbol display areas 208a to 208c (for example, even if the temporary stop is not performed in the middle symbol display area 208b), the pseudo continuous symbols may be started. Also good.

  In FIG. 24A, in the first symbol variation display, “decoration 3” is displayed in the left symbol display area 208a. In FIG. 24A, “decoration 7” is displayed in the right symbol display area 208c. In the same figure, the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the middle symbol display area 208b. That is, the combination of the decorative symbols “decoration 3”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 7” is temporarily stopped, and a pseudo-continuous effect is started. In this example, the combination of the second decoration symbol of “decoration 3”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 7” also corresponds to the pseudo-continuous symbol. Note that the combination of the first decorative symbols “decoration 4”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 6” also corresponds to the pseudo-continuous symbol pattern. When the notification (for example, notification of the number of pseudo-continuations) is not performed and the combination of the second decorative symbols is temporarily stopped, the second notification may be performed. Alternatively, when a symbol other than the decorative symbol (for example, a symbol displayed as “NEXT”) is included, a second notification is performed, and the combination of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are displayed. When a combination such as a combination, which is only a decorative symbol, is temporarily stopped, the second notification may not be performed, and conversely, if a symbol other than the decorative symbol is included, When the second notification is not performed and the combination of only the decorative symbols is temporarily stopped, the second notification may be performed.

  In addition, when a temporary stop using a dedicated pseudo continuous symbol among the pseudo continuous symbols is performed, the movable means operates, and a temporary stop using a pseudo continuous symbol such as a decorative symbol that is not dedicated is performed. In this case, the movable means is not operated, and on the contrary, the re-variation display time is shorter than the re-variation display after the temporary stop using the dedicated pseudo-continuous design, and the re-variation display is performed at high speed. It may be a mode of digestion. Alternatively, when the movable means is operated, the re-variable display time may be longer than the re-variable display time when the movable means is not operated. By doing this, it is possible to perform a flashy presentation related to the operation of the movable means during the re-variable display, increase the expectation of jackpot with the flashy presentation, and when the movable means does not operate Can increase the expected number of big hits by increasing the number of pseudo-reams in a short time and increasing the number of pseudo-reams.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing in a stepwise manner an example in which a pseudo-continuous effect and a character notice are combined. FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a continuation of the example shown in FIG. 25 in a stepwise manner. In these figures, time passes in alphabetical order written in parentheses.

  In the example shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 26, the pseudo-continuous effect with the number of pseudo-continuous times of 3 is executed as in the example described with reference to FIG. 15. However, in the example shown in FIGS. 25 to 26, the background of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 is blank, and the effect mode is the character mode. Even in the character mode, the second notification is executed.

  In FIG. 25 (c), the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a, and simultaneously with the start of the shaking display, the display of the character of the heel is started on the left side of the variation icon display area 208e. ing. The display of the character in this example is a jackpot notice, and the greater the number of characters displayed, the higher the jackpot reliability (expectation). In the first pseudo-continuous number of times, the character only appears as a single character, and thereafter, until the temporary stop is performed in all the symbol display areas 208a to 208c (until the temporary stop is performed in the middle symbol display area 208b). When the heel character continues to be displayed and the temporary stop is performed as shown in FIG. 25 (h), the heel character disappears, and the first re-variation display is started as shown in FIG. The number of pseudo consecutive times is the second time, and the decorative symbol display device 208 starts displaying characters “× 2” as a second notification.

  Even in the second pseudo-continuous operation, the display of the heel character is started again on the left side of the variation icon display area 208e simultaneously with the start of the shaking display in the left symbol display area 208a. FIG. 25 (k) shows a state where the shaking display is performed only in the left symbol display area 208a (a state where the variable display is continued in the middle symbol display area 208b and the right symbol display area 208c). Thus, the display of the Chibi princess character is started on the right side of the display of the frog character. In the second quasi-continuous number of times, two characters, a samurai character and a princess Chibi character, appear until a temporary stop is performed in all the symbol display areas 208a to 208c (in the middle symbol display area 208b). These two characters continue to be displayed until the temporary stop is performed, and when the temporary stop is again performed as shown in FIG. 25 (o), both the characters disappear and as shown in FIG. The second re-variation display is started, the pseudo continuous number of times enters the third time, and the character display of “× 3” is started as the second notification.

  Even at the third pseudo-continuation, the display of the character of the heel is started on the left side of the variation icon display area 208e simultaneously with the start of the shaking display in the left symbol display area 208a (see FIG. 25 (q)). The display of the princess character is started (FIG. 25 (r)). Furthermore, in the state where the shaking display is performed only in the left symbol display area 208a (the state where the variable display is continued in the middle symbol display area 208b and the right symbol display area 208c), the right of the display of the princess Chibi character Next, a display of Tono-sama character is added (FIG. 26 (s)), and the number of characters becomes the same three as the number of pseudo-continuous times represented by the character display of “× 3”. In FIG. 26 (t), only the shaking display in the left symbol display area 208a is still continuing. In this state, a Maihime character appears on the right side of the display of the Princess Chibi character, It becomes four bodies beyond the number of pseudo-reams.

  In FIG. 26 (u), the reach state is reached. Until this reach state, the four characters are continuously displayed, and in FIG. 26 (v), the super reach effect is started. When the super reach production is started, the display of the four characters disappears.

  The example illustrated in FIGS. 25 to 26 described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the number of displayed characters increases as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  In this example, every time a temporary stop is made, the display of the character is turned off once, and then it is made to appear one by one, but it may be made to appear at once, and the character that has appeared once should not be erased, Only additional display may be performed. Also, if a character appears in the first number, the reach effect is confirmed, if a second number larger than the first number appears, a super reach effect is confirmed, and if a third number larger than the second number appears, the jackpot is confirmed. Also good. Alternatively, if the number of characters exceeds the number of pseudo-reams, the super reach effect may be confirmed or the jackpot may be confirmed. Furthermore, the timing at which the character appears is not limited to the state in which the shaking display is performed only in the left symbol display area 208a, but may be the timing before the shaking display is started, or the middle symbol display area 208b. It may be in a state where the variable display is continued only at. Also, the period in which the character appears may be a period from the start of fluctuation to the start of shaking display, or a period from the start of fluctuation to the start of shaking display in the right symbol display area 208b. Good.

  In addition, the number of characters displayed may always be larger than the number of pseudo-continuous times so that the number of characters precedes the number of pseudo-continuous times. Alternatively, the number of characters appearing may be increased using the displayed value of the number of pseudo-continuations as an upper limit value.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an example in which a pseudo continuous effect and a meter display are combined step by step. Also in FIG. 27, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 27, a meter display 2085 is performed. This meter display 2085 represents the degree of expectation of jackpot, and the degree of expectation of jackpot increases as the level increases, such as one step, two steps, three steps, and so on.

  The effect mode in the example shown in FIG. 27 is a meter mode. Even in this meter mode, the second notification is executed.

  In FIG. 27A and FIG. 27B, the symbol change display is performed once, the meter display 2085 remains in the first stage lighting, and the lost symbol is stopped and displayed.

  From FIG. 27 (c), a new symbol variation display is started, and in FIG. 27 (f), the pseudo continuous symbols are displayed in a shaking manner, and the first temporary stop is performed. The meter display 2085 in this example is a display that can store the number of lighting stages over a plurality of symbol variation displays. In the previous symbol variation display, since the meter display 2085 is lit only in the first step, the meter display 2085 here is also lit only in the first step, and the symbol variation display started in FIG. During the first temporary stop from the start, the meter display 2085 remains in the first stage lighting. In this example, the pseudo-continuous effect is started in a state where the meter display 2085 is accumulated up to the first level.

  In FIG. 27G, the first re-variation display is started, the number of pseudo continuous operations is the second, and the decorative symbol display device 208 starts displaying “× 2” as a second notification. Even when the first re-variation display is started, the meter display 2085 is kept in the state before the temporary stop and still remains in the first stage lighting. In FIG. 27 (h), shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a, and simultaneously with the start of the shaking display, the meter display 2085 is turned on at the second stage and the third stage at once. In FIG. 27 (j), the second temporary stop is performed, and the meter display 2085 is lit up to the third stage.

  In FIG. 27 (k), the second re-variable display is started, the number of pseudo continuous operations is the third, and the character display of “× 3” is started as the second notification. Even when the second re-variation display is started, the meter display 2085 is kept in the state before the second temporary stop and is lit up to the third stage. In FIG. 27 (l), the swing display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a, and simultaneously with the start of the swing display, the meter display 2085 lights up at the 4th stage and the 5th stage all at once. It becomes a state.

  In FIG. 27 (m), the meter display 2085 is in the reach state with all lights on, and in FIG. 27 (n), the super reach effect is started. When the super reach production is started, the meter display 2085 disappears. Note that the frame itself of the meter display 2085 may be always displayed.

  In FIG. 27 (o), as a part of the super reach production, a combination of big numbers such as “decoration 5”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 5” is displayed in a shaking manner. In FIG. The big hit combination of is stopped (true stop).

  The example described above corresponds to a step-up effect in which the number of lighting stages on the meter display 2085 increases as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  In addition, the meter display 2085 in this example is a display that can carry over the number of lighting steps to the next symbol variation display, but when one symbol variation display ends, the number of lighting steps returns to 0, or An aspect in which the number of lighting stages is reduced without returning to 0 may be used.

  In addition, when the timing at which the number of lighting stages on the meter display 2085 reaches the upper limit value coincides with the timing at which the pseudo-continuous pattern is shaken and temporarily stopped, sound effects such as sound effects may be executed.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram showing step by step examples of other effects using meter display. Also in FIG. 28, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses. Hereinafter, the description overlapping with the example described with reference to FIG. 27 may be omitted.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 28A, the meter display 2085 is not performed, and the combination of decorative symbol loss is stopped and displayed. The decorative symbol display device 208 does not display the frame of the meter display 2085 itself. Also, nothing is displayed in the variation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 28B, a new symbol variation display is started, and the meter display 2085 is also started. However, the meter display 2085 shown in FIG. 28B is not lit up at all and is in a completely unlit state. In addition, in the variation icon display area 208e shown in FIG. 28 (b), a variation icon c of a white and non-patterned star-shaped display mode is displayed.

  In FIG. 28C, the “decoration 5” shaking display is started in the left symbol display area 208a, and the meter display 2085 is turned on at the first stage simultaneously with the start of the shaking display. In FIG. 28 (e), the pseudo continuous pattern is displayed in a shaking manner, and the first temporary stop is performed. In FIG. 28 (f), the first re-variable display is started, and the pseudo continuous number of times is the second. The display device 208 starts displaying “× 2” as a second notification. The meter display 2085 remains as it is after the first stage is lit at the timing of FIG. 28C, and the first stage remains lit even when the first re-variation display is started. On the other hand, the display mode of the change icon c displayed in the change icon display area 208e was a white and non-patterned star display mode until the first temporary stop was performed. When the variable display is started, the display mode is changed to a white star shape with cross hatching.

  In FIG. 28 (g), shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a, and simultaneously with the start of the shaking display, the meter display 2085 lights up at the second and third stages at once. In FIG. 28 (i), the second temporary stop is performed, and the meter display 2085 is lit up to the third stage.

  In FIG. 28 (j), the second re-variation display is started, the number of pseudo continuous operations is the third, and the character display of “× 3” is started as the second notification. Even if the second re-variation display is started, there is no change in the meter display 2085, but the display mode of the variation icon c displayed in the variation icon display area 208e is as follows. The display mode is changed from a display mode in which cross-hatching is applied to a white star shape to a display mode in which single hatching is applied to a gray star shape.

  In FIG. 28 (k), the swing display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a. At the same time as the start of the swing display, the meter display 2085 is turned on all at once in the fourth and fifth steps. It becomes a state.

  In FIG. 28 (l), the meter display 2085 remains in a fully lit state, and the reach state is started. In FIG. 28 (m), the super reach effect is started. In FIG. The combination of big numbers of decorative symbols such as “5”-“decoration 5”-“decoration 5” is displayed in a shaking manner. In FIG. 5 (o), the combination of big hits of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed (true stop display). . When the super reach production is started, the meter display 2085 disappears, but the change icon c has been subjected to single hatching in a gray star shape until the combination of the big symbols of the decorative design is stopped (true stop display). It continues to be displayed in the variation icon display area 208e in the display mode.

  Also in the example described above, the number of lighting stages of the meter display 2085 increases as the number of pseudo-continuations increases. At the timing when the number of pseudo-continuations increases, the display of the variation icon c displayed in the variation icon display area 208e is displayed. The aspect changes. The change in the display mode of the fluctuation icon c is linked to the change in the number of lighting stages in the meter display 2085, and the change timing becomes the timing at which the number of pseudo continuous times increases. That is, although not shown here, the display mode of the fluctuation icon c changes to a display mode in which a single star is applied to a white star shape when the meter display 2085 lights up to the second level. If it lights up to the 4th stage, it will change to the gray and unpatterned star-shaped display mode.

  In addition, what changes in conjunction with the change in the number of lighting stages of the meter display 2085 is not limited to the display mode of the variation icon c, and may be a background image, for example. Moreover, the change timing of what changes in conjunction with the change in the number of lighting stages of the meter display 2085 may be the timing at which a temporary stop is performed in addition to the timing at which the number of pseudo continuous increases.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating a first notification by a reduced rotation display and a second notification by a conversation notice. Also in FIG. 29, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 29 is a diagram showing the first notification by the reduced rotation display.

  In the example shown on the left side of FIG. 29, the background image of the decorative symbol display device 208 is an image in which withered trees are displayed on a gray ground.

  In FIG. 29 (c), in the middle symbol display area 208b in which the updating of the decorative symbols in FIG. 29 (a) and FIG. The continuous symbols are displayed in a shaking manner, and a temporary stop is performed. At the same time, the entire image including the background image is reduced and further rotated clockwise. This reduced rotation display corresponds to an example of the first notification.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 29 is a diagram showing a second notification by conversation notice.

  FIG. 29A is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the first pseudo-repetition number (first symbol variation display). In this decorative symbol display device 208, along with the character of Princess Chibi, “A reach is a development. There is one tutorial-like balloon display that says "Expectation".

  In FIG. 29 (B), the Chibi princess character and the balloon display disappear, and the pseudo continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” in the middle symbol display area 208b is shaken and temporarily stopped. Instead, a set of Princess Chibi characters and a balloon display can be seen as the first notification.

  FIG. 29 (C) is a diagram showing the decorative symbol display device 208 in the second pseudo continuous number of times (the first re-variable display), and this decorative symbol display device 208 displays the first time in the pseudo continuous number of times. A set of Princess Chibi characters and a balloon display is displayed again. Then, as shown in FIG. 29 (D), during the re-variable display, which is the second pseudo-repetition count, on the set of the princess Chibi character and the balloon display, along with the frog character, “the chance is increased by the appearance of the heel” A set of tutorial-like balloon displays is added, and two types of conversation notices are being executed. In this example, the number of types of conversation notice being executed represents the number of times related to the start of the pseudo-continuous effect (here, the number of pseudo-continuous), and corresponds to an example of a second notification.

  The conversation notice may be a notice of reach development or a notification that suggests the continuation of the pseudo-continuous production. Further, as in this example, a so-called window step-up notice may be executed in which the conversation notice is stepped up every time re-variable display is started.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating another example of a display effect that changes as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 30 is an example in which the story advancement proceeds with a temporary stop (first temporary stop) in the first symbol variation display that is the first among three pseudo-continuous times. That is, the continuation is started after the temporary stop.

  The example shown in the center of FIG. 30 is an example in which the tutorial advancement proceeds with a temporary stop (first temporary stop) in the first symbol variation display being the first among three pseudo-continuous times. In this example, the tutorial advance notice (step 2) is continuously executed even during the temporary stop, and one step progresses before the temporary stop (step 1).

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 30 is an example in which the display mode of the decorative symbol changes with a temporary stop (first temporary stop) in the first symbol variation display being the first among three pseudo consecutive times. is there. That is, during the variation display (FIG. 30 (A)), the shaking display (FIG. 30 (I)), and the first temporary stop (FIG. 30 (U)) during the first decorative symbol variation display (FIG. 30 (A)). The decorative pattern is displayed in blue, but during the second re-variation display (FIG. 30 (E)), during the shaking display (FIG. 30 (O)), or during the second temporary stop. The display mode of the decorative design is green.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram showing still another example of a display effect that changes as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 31 is an example in which the display area on the decorative symbol display device 208 expands as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases, and the example shown on the right side of FIG. This is an example in which the display area of is reduced as the number of pseudo-continuations increases.

  The display area here refers to an area inside the black frame image 2086. In the example shown on the left side of FIG. 31, the display area is enlarged by reducing the thickness of the black frame image 2086, and in the example shown on the right side of FIG. 31, the thickness of the black frame image 2086 is increased on the contrary. By doing so, the display area is reduced.

  The size of each image displayed in the display area changes according to the change in the size of the display area. That is, if the display area is enlarged, the display size of each image is also increased, and if the display area is reduced, the display size of each image is also reduced. As each image, for example, an image of a decorative symbol, an image of the hold icons h1 to h3, an image of a variation icon c, a fourth symbol 2081, 2082, a pseudo-simultaneous symbol for the first notification, and “× 2” for the second notification And a character display image of “× 3”. It should be noted that the display size of some of the plurality of types of images (for example, the hold icon and the second notification image) may not be changed even if the size of the display area is changed. .

  Further, as an example following FIG. 31C and FIG. 31C, after the super reach effect is started, the black frame image 2086 disappears completely, and the display area is the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208. It may be the whole area.

  FIG. 32 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a pseudo-continuous effect is started from a prefetch notice and a modification of the operation mode of the first movable means.

  In FIG. 32A, symbol variation display is performed, and four hold icons h1 to h4 are displayed in the hold icon display area 208f. Hereinafter, the timing of the start prize is the oldest hold icon, the first hold icon h1, the second oldest hold icon, the second hold icon h2, the third oldest hold icon, the 31st hold icon h3, and the newest hold icon. This is called a fourth hold icon h4. Of the four hold icons h1 to h4 shown in FIG. 32 (a), only the third hold icon h3 is displayed in the display mode of the face of the character of Tono. In addition, a white star-shaped variation icon c is displayed in the variation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 32 (b), the symbol variation display is terminated, the lost symbol is stopped, and a balloon “3” is additionally displayed on the third hold icon to notify that the third variation can have a big hit expectation. Has been. On the other hand, the fluctuation icon c disappears from the fluctuation icon display area 208e. In addition, it is good also as a hold icon including this balloon display, and this balloon display is good also as a display different from the display of a hold icon.

  In FIG. 32C, the hold corresponding to the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 32B is digested, and the symbol variation display is started. As a result, the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 32B moves to the change icon display area 208e and is displayed in the change icon display area 208e as a white star-shaped change icon c. In the hold icon display area 208f, When the hold icon is shifted, the third hold icon h3 displayed in the face display mode of the Tono-sama character shown in FIG. 5B is the second hold icon h2 in FIG. It has become.

  In FIG. 32D, the symbol variation display is finished again, the lost symbol is stopped and the second hold icon h2 is additionally displayed with a balloon “2”, and the second variation can be expected to be a big hit. Is informed. Note that the fluctuation icon c disappears from the fluctuation icon display area 208e.

  In addition, the pachinko machine in this example is a special figure 2 priority fluctuation machine, and when the symbol fluctuation display of the special figure 2 is interrupted, the reserved symbol fluctuation display corresponding to the second hold icon h2 is interrupted. Minutes, the start is delayed. For this reason, the balloon “2” may not be additionally displayed, or the number obtained by adding the interrupted amount may be additionally displayed.

  In FIG. 32 (e), the symbol variation display is started again, and the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 32 (d) becomes a white star-shaped variation icon c, and the Tono-like character shown in FIG. 32 (d). The second hold icon h2 displayed in the face display mode is now the first hold icon h1.

  In FIG. 32 (f), the symbol variation display is finished again, the lost symbol is stopped, and a balloon “1” is additionally displayed on the first hold icon, so that the next variation can have a big hit expectation. Informed. Note that the fluctuation icon c disappears from the fluctuation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 32 (g), the hold corresponding to the first hold icon h1 of the face of the Tono-sama character shown in FIG. 32 (f) is digested, and the symbol variation display is started. As a result, the first hold icon h1 of the face of the Tono-sama character shown in FIG. 32 (f) moves to the variation icon display area 208e and is enlarged and displayed as the variation icon c in the variation icon display area 208e. A balloon “0” is additionally displayed, and it is informed that the big hit can be expected by the fluctuation. The balloon “0” here is displayed outside the variation icon display area 208e, and the display mode is also different from the display mode of the balloon in the variation icon display area 208e.

  Eventually, as shown in FIG. 32 (h), the quasi-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” is displayed in a shaking manner, a temporary stop is displayed, and the quasi-continuous effect is started. Note that a variation icon c for the face of the Tono-sama character is also displayed in the variation icon display area 208e shown in FIG. 32 (h), and continues to be displayed until immediately before the confirmation display (true stop display) is performed.

  Note that the notification by the balloon additionally displayed on the icon of the face of the character of Tonosama corresponds to an example of a countdown notice.

  32 (A) to 32 (C) show the first movable body 2243 on which the characters “yoshi” are written and the second movable body on which the characters “mune” are written, as shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the modification of the operation | movement aspect of 2244. FIG. The initial positions of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 shown in FIG. 32 are around the decorative symbol display device 208, and as shown in FIG. 32A, the first movable body 2243 is arranged. This is a position where a part of the second movable body 2244 overlaps. As a result, a part of the first movable body 2243 is difficult to view or cannot be visually recognized by the second movable body 2244.

  Of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244 located at the initial position, as shown in FIG. 32 (B), the first operation mode in which the second movable body 2244 moves downward is executed. May be. By the first operation mode, the second movable body 2244 is positioned below the first movable body 2243, and the first movable body 2243 is also easily visible.

  As shown in FIG. 32C, the second movable body 2244 positioned below the first movable body 2243 is located on the upper right side, that is, on the right side of the first movable body 2243. There is a case in which the second operation mode of moving toward is executed.

  Here, the movement distance of the second movable body 2244 in the first operation mode and the movement distance of the second movable body 2244 in the second operation mode are longer in the latter, Since the operation speed of the second movable body 2244 when executing the operation mode and the operation speed of the second movable body 2244 when executing the second operation mode are the same, the operation time is the second The operation mode is longer.

  In relation to the pseudo continuous effect, the first movable means executes the first operation mode for the first pseudo continuous number of times, and executes the second operation mode for the second pseudo continuous number of times. In this case, the operation time of the first movable means varies depending on the number of pseudo-continuations, but the operation speed of the movable body is varied depending on the operation mode so that the operation time of the first movable means does not vary depending on the number of pseudo-continuations. You may change it.

  The first movable body 2243 described with reference to FIGS. 32A to 32C corresponds to an example of the first movable means, and the second movable body 2244 is an example of the second movable means. It corresponds to. In the description here, of the first movable body 2243 and the second movable body 2244, only the second movable body 2244 moves, and the first movable body 2243 remains stopped at the initial position. In the quasi-continuous production, even if the second movable body 2244 starts operation, if the first movable body 2243 does not start operation, the second notification for notifying the number of pseudo-continuations is not started. Alternatively, on the contrary, even if the first movable body 2243 does not start the operation, the second notification may be started if the second movable body 2244 starts the operation. Alternatively, in the pseudo-continuous production, when the first movable body 2243 does not operate, the second movable body 2244 may operate to start the second notification.

  FIG. 33 is a diagram showing an example of success or failure in the development to pseudo-continuous production.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 33 is an effect using the chance button 700. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 33 (a), the decorative symbol variable display is performed in the respective symbol display regions of the left symbol display region 208a, the middle symbol display region 208b, and the right symbol display region 208c. In each symbol display area, a button effect is also performed so as to hide a part of the decorative symbol during the variable display. That is, a pattern 701 that prompts the user to press the chance button 700 shown in FIG. 1 and a bar display 702 that indicates the remaining period of the reception period of the chance button press are displayed.

  The player operates the operation lever 190 shown in FIG. 1 to select any one of the three symbol display areas (208a to 208c) and presses the chance button 700. When the chance button 700 is pressed, the variation display of the decorative symbols in the selected symbol display area is finished, and the symbols such as the decorative symbols are shaken and displayed. FIG. 33A shows a state in which the left symbol display area 208a is selected and the chance button 700 is pressed. In FIG. 33C, the middle symbol display area 208b is selected and the chance button 700 is displayed. A state in which the button 700 is pressed again is shown, and FIG. 5D shows a state in which the right symbol display area 208c is selected and the chance button 700 is pressed three times. In this example, the symbol displayed as “heat” is displayed in a shaking manner in any of the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. When three symbols displayed as “Heat” are gathered, the start of the pseudo-continuous effect is confirmed, and in FIG. 33 (e), re-variable display is started. That is, the three combinations of symbols displayed as “heat” are pseudo-continuous symbols and correspond to an example of the first notification. On the other hand, if the three symbols displayed as “Heat” are not prepared, the pseudo-continuous production is not started, the shaking display continues until the symbol variation time elapses, and finally the decorative symbol combination is confirmed and displayed. (True stop display).

  If one of the symbols displayed as “Heat” is displayed in a shaking manner, the start of the pseudo-continuous effect may be confirmed. In this case, the symbol alone displayed as “Heat” It is a symbol and corresponds to an example of the first notification. In addition, a symbol displayed as “NEXT” may be used instead of the symbol displayed as “Heat”, or a decorative symbol shown in FIG. 5B may be used.

  Note that the order of selecting the symbol display area is up to the player, but the pachinko machine 100 may navigate the order. For example, when the color of the design 701 is changed and the player presses the chance button 700, the shaking display is started in the design display area where the design 701 whose color is changed is displayed. Good.

  Both the example shown in the center of FIG. 33 and the example shown on the right side are effects using pseudo-continuous items.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 33 (a), a combination of decorative symbol losses is stopped and four hold icons h1 to h4 are displayed in the hold icon display region 208f. These four hold icons h1 to h4 are all black circles, which is the default display mode, and are not display modes for notifying a special figure jackpot. However, only the first hold icon h1 among these four hold icons h1 to h4 is displayed with a “pseudo” character on the icon. The character “pseudo” here is a display mode displayed on a white background, and a pseudo-continuation for notifying that a pseudo-continuous effect may be started with a suspended symbol variation display corresponding to the first hold icon h1. Item g. Note that nothing is displayed in the fluctuation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 33 (b), the hold corresponding to the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 33 (a) is digested, and the symbol variation display is started. As a result, the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 33A moves to the fluctuation icon display area 208e and is displayed in the fluctuation icon display area 208e as a white star-shaped fluctuation icon c. Also on the variation icon c shown in FIG. 33 (b), “pseudo” of the same display mode as the display mode of the “pseudo” character displayed on the first hold icon h1 in FIG. Characters are displayed. The character “pseudo” here is a pseudo-continuous item g for notifying that the pseudo-continuous effect may be started with the symbol variation display corresponding to the variation icon c, that is, the symbol variation display currently being performed. . The pseudo continuous item g is displayed in a state where a part thereof hides the fluctuation icon c and a part thereof protrudes from the fluctuation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 33 (c), the display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208 a, and the “pseudo” displayed on the white star-shaped variation icon c at the same time as the start of the display of the swing. Is changed to “pseudo × 2” and the display mode of the white background is changed to the display mode of the gray background. The character “pseudo × 2” here is for notifying that it is determined that the pseudo-continuous production having the pseudo-continuous number of 2 is started in the currently displayed symbol variation display. That is, unlike the conventional pseudo-continuous item g, the pseudo-continuous confirmation display G for notifying the execution confirmation of the pseudo-continuous production is provided. Further, according to the pseudo-continuous confirmation display G here, the number of pseudo-continuous times is also notified. The pseudo continuous confirmation display G is also displayed in a state where a part thereof hides the fluctuation icon c and a part thereof protrudes from the fluctuation icon display area 208e.

  In this example, the display of the “decoration 5” in the left symbol display area 208a is started, and the pseudo-continuous item g is promoted to the pseudo-continuous display G, but the chance button 700 is operated. It is also possible to display an image of a button effect that prompts the user to perform, and to promote the chance button 700 after waiting for an operation.

  FIG. 33 (c ′) is a diagram illustrating an example of a promotion failure from the pseudo continuous item g to the pseudo continuous confirmation display. In FIG. 33 (c ′), simultaneously with the start of the shaking display of “decoration 5” in the left symbol display area 208a, the “pseudo” character displayed on the white star-shaped variation icon c is “pseudo ×”. 1 ”and the white background display mode is changed to a gray background display mode. The character “pseudo × 1” here is a symbol change display currently being performed, and it is foretelling that it is certain that the number of pseudo-continuations will be limited to one and will not be a pseudo-continuous production.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 33 (A), the combination of decorative symbol loss is stopped and displayed, and four reserved icons h1 to h4 are displayed in the reserved icon display area 208f. Of these four hold icons h1 to h4, only the first hold icon h1 is displayed, and two pseudo continuous items g are displayed. The fact that two pseudo-ream items g are displayed may indicate that a pseudo-ream effect with a pseudo-ream count of 2 is started in the suspended symbol variation display corresponding to the first hold icon h1. . In this example, the advance notice of the number of pseudo-continuations is made at an earlier timing than the example shown in FIGS. 33 (a) to (c).

  In FIG. 33 (B), the hold corresponding to the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 33 (A) is digested, the symbol variation display is started, and the variation icon display region 208e until now has the first hold icon h1. The fluctuation icon c which was was displayed. Two pseudo continuous items g are also displayed on the fluctuation icon c.

  In FIG. 33 (C), shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a, and simultaneously with the start of the shaking display, each of the two pseudo continuous items g displayed on the variation icon c is displayed. The display mode changes. That is, the display mode is changed from a white background display mode to a gray background display mode, and two pseudo-continuous display G 'are displayed. In this example, the number of pseudo-continuous operations is confirmed once for each pseudo-continuous display G ′. Therefore, in FIG. 33 (C), as in FIG. 33 (c), it is foretold that it is determined that the pseudo-continuous production with the pseudo-continuous number of two starts.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram illustrating an example of effects related to the pseudo continuous item.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 34 (a), the combination of decorative symbol loss is stopped and displayed, and four reserved icons h1 to h4 are displayed in the reserved icon display area 208f. The four hold icons h1 to h4 are all black circles, which is the default display mode, but a question mark symbol is displayed on the first hold icon h1. In addition, the inside is not displayed in the fluctuation icon display area 208e. The symbol display of the question mark here is a display mode displayed on a white background, and is a display indicating that there may be some expectation regarding the symbol variation display of the hold corresponding to the first hold icon h1.

  In FIG. 34 (b), the hold corresponding to the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 34 (a) is digested, and the symbol variation display is started. As a result, the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 34A moves to the fluctuation icon display area 208e and is displayed in the fluctuation icon display area 208e as a white star-shaped fluctuation icon c. Also on the variation icon c shown in FIG. 34 (b), the same display mode as the question mark symbol displayed on the first hold icon h1 in FIG. 34 (a) is displayed. Yes. The symbol display of the question mark here is a display indicating that there may be some expectation regarding the symbol variation display corresponding to the variation icon c, that is, the symbol variation display currently being performed. Further, the question mark symbols are displayed in a state where a part thereof hides the fluctuation icon c and a part thereof protrudes from the fluctuation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 34 (c), shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a, but there is no change in the display mode of the change icon c and the symbol display of the question mark.

  In FIG. 34 (d), although the swing display of “decoration 5” is started in the right symbol display area 208a and the variation icon c continues to be displayed, the symbol display of the question mark is displayed simultaneously with the start of the swing display here. Disappears. The disappearance of the question mark symbol display means that some expectation about the currently displayed symbol variation display has disappeared. For example, the symbol display of the question mark is a display that can be changed (promoted) to a pseudo continuous item or pseudo continuous confirmation display, but if it disappears here, it can be considered that the promotion has failed. However, even if the question mark symbol display disappears, the pseudo-continuous effect may be started with the currently displayed symbol variation display. In this case, it becomes a reverse effect. Note that the state shown in FIG. 34D is a reach state.

  In FIG. 34 (e), the shaking display of “decoration 6” is started in the middle symbol display area 208a, and the pseudo-continuous symbols are not displayed.

  In FIG. 34 (f), the pseudo-continuous effect is not started, the variation icon c disappears from the variation icon display area 208e, and “decoration 5” − “decoration 6” − “decoration 5”, which is a combination of loss, is confirmed. It is displayed. In this example, although it is lost, even if the symbol display of the question mark disappears, there may be a case where the symbol variation display makes a big hit.

  In this example, the question mark symbol display disappears at the so-called second stop timing shown in FIG. 34 (d), but may disappear at the so-called first stop timing shown in FIG. 34 (c). It may disappear at the so-called third stop timing shown in (e). Alternatively, it may disappear at the timing before the first stop, may disappear at the timing between the first stop and the second stop, or may disappear at the timing between the second stop and the third stop. Further, the change icon c may disappear together with the question mark symbol display.

  34 (A) is the same as FIG. 34 (a), FIG. 34 (B) is the same as FIG. 34 (b), and FIG. 34 (C) is a shaking display of “decoration 5” in the left symbol display area 208a. Is started. As shown in FIG. 34C, at this timing, the question mark symbol changes to a “pseudo” character, the white background also changes to a gray background, and the display itself becomes larger. The display in which the symbol display of the question mark is changed is a pseudo continuous item g ′ for notifying that the pseudo continuous effect may be started by the currently displayed symbol variation display. This pseudo-continuous item g 'is also displayed in a state where a part thereof hides the fluctuation icon c and a part thereof protrudes from the fluctuation icon display area 208e.

  In FIG. 34 (D), the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the right symbol display area 208a and the fluctuation icon c is continuously displayed. However, at the same time as the shaking display here, the pseudo continuous item g ′ is displayed. Disappears.

  In FIG. 34 (E), the display of the pseudo-continuous symbol “NEXT” displayed in the middle symbol display area 208a is started and the display of the pseudo-continuous item g ′ disappears once in FIG. 34 (D). Regardless, pseudo-continuous production has started.

  In FIG. 34 (F), the first re-variation display in which the pseudo continuous number is the second time is started.

  Unlike the pseudo continuous item g shown in FIG. 33B, the pseudo continuous item g ′ in this example does not correspond to one pseudo continuous number of times, and the number of pseudo continuous items is unknown. It just keeps announcing that the pseudo-continuous production may start.

  The change timing to the pseudo continuous item g ′ is the start of shaking display in the right symbol display area 208b shown in FIG. 34D, in addition to the shaking display start timing in the left symbol display area 208a shown in FIG. It may be a timing, or may be a shaking display start timing in the middle symbol display area 208b shown in FIG. Alternatively, the timing may be before the timing shown in FIG. 34C, or may be the timing between FIG. 34C and FIG. 4D, as shown in FIG. It may be a timing in between.

  Further, the timing at which the pseudo continuous item g ′ disappears may be the same as the timing described above in which the question mark symbol display disappears. For example, the pseudo-continuous item g ′ is displayed until the temporary stop of FIG. 34 (E) is performed, disappears at the same time as the temporary stop, or is displayed until the re-variable display of FIG. 34 (F) is started. It may be made to disappear simultaneously with the re-variation display.

  In FIG. 34A, the decorative symbols are being displayed in a variable manner, and the pseudo continuous item g 'is already displayed on the first hold icon h1 displayed in the hold icon display area 208f. A pseudo-ream item g ′ shown in FIG. 34A functions as a pre-reading notice for the pseudo-ream effect. This pseudo continuous item g ′ corresponds to an example of a first notification.

  In FIG. 34 (i), the combination of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed, and the pseudo continuous item g 'is displayed on the first hold icon h1.

  In FIG. 34 (u), the hold corresponding to the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 34 (i) is digested, and the symbol variation display is started. As a result, the first hold icon h1 shown in FIG. 34 moves to the fluctuation icon display area 208e and is displayed in the fluctuation icon display area 208e as a white star-shaped fluctuation icon c. The first hold icon h1 is moved to the fluctuation icon display area 208e and displayed on the fluctuation icon c.

  In FIG. 34 (e), shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a, but the pseudo continuous item g ′ is still displayed on the variation icon c, and there is no change. The subsequent steps are the same as those after FIG. 34D, but the pseudo continuous item g ′ may be further changed. For example, it is promoted to a pseudo-continuous display, or, conversely, demoted to a character display of “pseudo × 1” as shown in FIG. 33 (c ′). You may make it notify that it is fixed that it does not become a quasi-continuous production only once.

  FIG. 35 is a diagram for explaining a general drawing effect and a pseudo-continuous notice effect. In addition to the first special figure display device 212 and the second special figure display device 214, the universal figure display device 210 is also shown in FIG. In addition to the first special figure hold lamp 218 and the second special figure hold lamp 220, a general figure hold lamp 216 is also shown. In this example, the upper limit value of the usual number of holds is four.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 35 corresponds to an example of a general drawing effect. In FIG. 35A, the special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display device 212 is being executed, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays the decorative symbol variation display in accordance with the special symbol variation display. It is being executed and is in a reach state. In addition, the normal symbol variation display on the general symbol display device 210 is also being executed. In this example, the general drawing effect is executed during the normal symbol variation display. Here, the roulette display effect is executed as the ordinary drawing effect. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 35A, a Tono-like character is displayed in the lower left corner, and in the opposite lower right corner, a roulette display 2087 is performed, and an arrow ar is fired from the Tono.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 35B, the arrow ar hits “help” in the roulette display 2087, and in FIG. 35C, the symbols per universal symbol are stopped and displayed on the universal symbol display device 210. At the same time, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays characters “Aim for electric chew”. In this ordinary drawing effect, it is notified that the electric chew (second special figure starting port 232) has been elected to open the electric chew long for a longer time than usual. That is, the character “help” means that the electric tulong is opened. In the case of losing the electric tulong, the arrow ar hits the symbol x.

  After the symbols per symbol are stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 210, as shown in FIG. 35 (d), the electric chew (second special diagram start port 232) is opened for a longer time than usual.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 35 corresponds to an example of a pseudo-continuous notice effect. FIG. 35A is a state similar to FIG. 35A, and both the symbol variation display of the special symbol and the symbol variation display of the normal symbol are being executed. In the variation display of the special symbol decoration symbol, the “decoration 5” is displayed in a shaking manner in the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 35A, a roulette display effect is executed. This roulette display effect is a pseudo-continuous notice effect, in which the character of Tono-sama is displayed in the lower left corner of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 35A, and the roulette display 2087 is performed in the lower right corner on the opposite side. The arrow ar has been fired from Tono-sama.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 35 (B), an arrow ar hits the “pseudo” in the roulette display 2087, and in FIG. 35 (c), the pseudo symbol “NEXT” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b. The continuous display of shaking pattern has started. This pseudo-continuous notice effect is an effect of notifying whether or not the pseudo-continuous effect is started before the pseudo-continuous symbol is displayed, and the character “pseudo” indicates that the pseudo-continuous effect is started. It becomes a notice. When the pseudo-continuous production is not started, the arrow ar hits the symbol x.

  The pseudo-continuous notice effect described above is a pseudo-continuous start notice effect, and a pseudo-continuous notice effect can also be performed. In the pseudo-continuous continuous notice effect, it becomes an effect of notifying whether or not the next re-variable display is started, and in the same way as the pseudo-continuous start notice effect, whether or not the arrow ar hits “pseudo” in the roulette display 2087. Can be executed with no. This pseudo continuous continuation notice effect may be executed every time re-variable display is started, or may be executed only once. Alternatively, the pseudo-continuation notice effect may be started when the pseudo-continuation notice effect is executed and the pseudo-continuation is started.

  The ordinary drawing effect and the pseudo-announcement effect are completely the same in that the Tono-sama character is displayed and the arrow ar is fired toward the roulette display 2087, and the contents displayed in the roulette display 2087 are different. Only. Therefore, at the beginning of the production, the player cannot tell whether the ordinary drawing production has started or the pseudo-continuous notice production has started. Also, if an arrow ar hits the symbol x, it cannot be distinguished at that stage.

  It should be noted that the ordinary drawing effect and the pseudo-continuous notice effect may be performed together. For example, in the roulette display 2087, a “pseudo” character and a “help” character may be rotated together. In addition, a part of the character may be changed by changing the character to appear or the color of the arrow ar between the normal drawing effect and the pseudo-continuous notice effect.

  As described above, when the explanation using FIG. 35 is summarized, the ordinary drawing effect and the pseudo-continuous notice effect may be effects of the same mode, or may be effects of partially the same mode.

  In addition, if the timing of the electric-chu-long opening and the pseudo-continuous performance that pretend to be a normal drawing effect overlap, the pseudo-continuous effect is given priority, and during the electric-chu-long opening, the electric-chu-long opening system is not performed at all. It is also possible to perform only sound effects (for example, output of sound effects) without performing visible effects (display effects, accessory operation effects, light-emitting effects, etc.) of the electric-chu long open system. Alternatively, a visible effect of the electric Chu long open system may be partially executed, and a sound effect may also be executed.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram showing an example in which a pseudo-continuous effect and another effect are combined in stages. Also in FIG. 36, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses.

  In FIG. 36A, the shaking display of “decoration 5” is started in the left symbol display area 208a. In the hold icon display area 208f of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 36, three hold icons h1 to h3 are displayed. The display area f4 of the fourth hold icon is displayed as a white circle.

  In FIG. 36 (b), the display of “decoration 5” is started in the right symbol display area 208 c, and the effect is as if it is a reach state. When the effect such as the reach state is started, the descending animation of the display area f4 of the three hold icons h1 to h3 and the fourth hold icon is started. 36C and FIG. 36D, in FIG. 36E, the lower half of the three hold icons h1 to h3 and the fourth hold icon display area f4 cannot be seen. Yes. In FIG. 36 (f), the three hold icons h1 to h3 and the fourth hold icon display area f4 disappear completely from the hold icon display area 208f and are completely invisible.

  The descending animation executed from FIG. 36 (b) to FIG. 36 (f) corresponds to the pseudo-continuous start notice effect, and after the three hold icons h1 to h3 and the display area f4 of the fourth hold icon are completely invisible. As shown in FIG. 36 (g), the update of the decorative symbol is completed even in the middle symbol display area 208b in which the decorative symbol has been continuously updated, and the shaking display of the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as "NEXT" is started. The temporary stop state is entered.

  When the temporary stop state is started, as shown in FIG. 36 (h), a band-like cut-in pattern 2088 in which a balloon pattern “Still Still” is displayed together with the Tono-sama character is displayed as a “decoration” 5 ”—Pseudo-continuous pattern—cut-in so as to overlap“ decoration 5 ”, prompting the start of re-variable display. This cut-in pattern 2088 also corresponds to an example of a pseudo-continuous pattern together with a pattern displayed as “NEXT”. It should be noted that the cut-in pattern 2088 may be displayed without shaking the pseudo-continuous pattern at the time of temporary stop, and in that case, the cut-in pattern 2088 corresponds to an example of the first notification.

  In FIG. 36 (i), the re-variation display is started, but the cut-in pattern 2088 still overlaps in the three symbol display areas 208a to 208c, and it is difficult to visually recognize the state where the re-variation display is started. However, the second notification “× 2” is easy to visually recognize. Note that the display start of the second notification “× 2” may be delayed or hidden by the cut-in pattern 2088 until the second notification.

  When the re-variable display is started, the ascending animation of the display area f4 of the three hold icons h1 to h3 and the fourth hold icon that have disappeared until now is started. That is, in FIG. 36 (j), the upper half of the three hold icons h1 to h3 and the display area f4 of the fourth hold icon are visible, and the states shown in FIG. 36 (k) and FIG. Then, in the same figure (m), three hold icons h1-h3 and the display area f4 of the 4th hold icon have returned in the hold icon display area 208f.

  The display area f4 of the fourth hold icon has moved together with the drop animation or the lift animation described here, but only the hold icon may be moved. Also, the moving speed may be the same for the descending animation and the ascending animation, the descending animation may be faster, or conversely, the ascending animation may be faster. Also, the start timing of the descent animation may be the timing at which the shaking display is started in the left symbol display area 208a (the timing in FIG. 36 (a)), or in FIG. 36 (a) and FIG. 36 (b). The timing may be later, or may be later than FIG. On the other hand, the end timing of the descent animation may be the timing at which the temporary stop is started (timing in FIG. 36 (g)), and if it is started before the timing in FIG. 36 (b), It may be the timing of FIG. Further, the start timing of the rising animation may be the timing when the re-variable display is started (the timing of FIG. 36 (i)), and the end timing of the rising animation is the start of shaking display in the left symbol display area 208a. It may be the timing.

  Note that a star-shaped variation icon c is continuously displayed in the variation icon display area 208e. Here, an animation in which the display position of the variation icon c is changed may be executed, or an animation in which the display mode of the change icon c is changed may be executed. These change animations may be started or ended at the start timing of fluctuation fluctuation, the start timing of temporary stop, or the start timing of re-change display.

  Further, if there is a start prize during the execution of the ascending animation or descending animation of the holding icon, a holding increase animation is added. For example, if the hold increases during the execution of the descending animation, the state in the middle (for example, the half state shown in FIG. 36 (e)) is not displayed, and the hold increases during the execution of the rising animation. The increase animation may be started after rising up. Here, when the increased hold is a prefetch notice target, the ascending animation may be canceled in the middle, and output of a sound effect at the time of prefetch hold winning and a light emitting effect by LED may be performed.

  In addition, when the cut-in pattern 2088 is prioritized over other displays (for example, the pseudo-continuous pattern or the second notification display), the cut-in pattern 2088 overlaps the other displays, and the priority is The degree of overlap may increase with each increase.

  FIG. 37 is a diagram showing in a stepwise manner an example of a pseudo-continuous effect in which the accessory of the modified example of the first movable means operates. Also in FIG. 37, time elapses in the order of alphabets written in parentheses.

  A first movable means 2248 is provided on the right side of the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. The first movable means 2248 is marked with the letters “Yoshimune”. The first movable means 2248 can change the display mode by turning on and off the light emitting means provided inside. In FIG. 37, the hatched state represents the lighting state, and the blank state represents the unlit state. The first movable means 2248 operates on the player side (front side) with respect to the decorative symbol display device 208, and the movable area of the first movable means 2248 is the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208. It overlaps with a part.

  The first movable means 2248 shown in FIG. 37 (a) is in the initial position (corresponding to an example of the first position), and is in a light-off state. In FIG. 37 (a), “decoration 5” is displayed in the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c. In FIG. 37 (b), “NEXT” is displayed in the middle symbol display area. The quasi-continuous pattern shaking display is started, and a temporary stop state is entered. Simultaneously with the start of the temporary stop state, the first movable means 2248 is turned on and advances from the initial position to a position overlapping the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208. In this modified example, when the temporary stop state is started, that is, during execution of the pseudo-continuous effect, the first movable unit 2248 always starts to operate. However, the first movable means 2248 does not start the operation while the pseudo-continuous effect is not executed. As shown in FIG. 37 (c) and FIG. 37 (d), while the temporary stop state continues, the first movable means 2248 continues to advance while being lit, and remains on at the end timing of the temporary stop state. Stop. The position of the first movable means 2248 stopped at this timing is hereinafter referred to as a stop position (corresponding to an example of a third position). In the stop position, the first movable means 2248 hides a part of the fourth symbol 2082 of the special figure 2, and most of the display positions of the fourth hold icon, the display position of the third hold icon h3 (in this example, the first position) Hide part of 3 hold icon h3 itself). That is, the first movable means 2248 hides a part of the hold icon display area 208f at the stop position. The stop timing of the first movable means 2248 may be earlier or later than the end timing of the temporary stop state. Further, in the temporary stop state, the band-like cut-in pattern 2088 is cut-in so as to overlap with the “decoration 5” —pseudo-continuous pattern— “decoration 5” displayed in a shaking manner.

  In this example, the cut-in pattern 2088 and / or the symbol displayed as “NEXT” corresponds to an example of the first notification. When the cut-in pattern 2088 alone corresponds to the first notification, the first notification is started after the operation of the first movable means 2248 is started. In addition, the operation of the first movable unit 2248 may end before the first notification is started, and the start timing of the first notification and the operation end timing of the first movable unit 2248 are the same. You may do it. Further, the cut-in pattern 2088 can be regarded as an example of a third notification, not an example of the first notification.

  Eventually, when the re-variable display is started, as shown in FIG. 37 (e), in the decorative symbol display device 208, the cut-in symbol 2088 and the pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT” disappear and “× 2” is displayed. The second notification indicating that the number of pseudo consecutive times is two is started. When the re-variation display is started, the first movable means 2248 that has been turned on until then is turned off at the stop position. Note that the switching timing from the lighting state to the extinguishing state may be during operation, may be before re-variable display is started, or may be after re-variable display is started. .

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37 (f), the vehicle starts to move backward from the stop position toward the initial position while the light is off. The first movable means 2248 returns to the initial position before the shaking display is started in any of the three symbol display areas 208a to 208c, and stops at the initial position with the light turned off. The first movable means 2248 may start the backward movement before the start of the re-variation display, or may start the backward movement simultaneously with the start of the re-change display. Also, the first movable means 2248 returns to the initial position at the timing (hereinafter referred to as the first timing) when the shaking display is started in any one of the three symbol display regions 208a to 208c. The backward movement operation may be terminated, or the timing at which the shaking display is started in any two of the three symbol display areas 208a to 208c (the timing at which a so-called reach state is reached. It is possible to return to the initial position at two timings) and end the reverse operation, or return to the initial position at a timing between the first timing and the second timing and end the reverse operation.

  Note that, in the re-variable display in which the number of pseudo consecutive times is the third time, the cut-in picture 2088 may be a different picture, or the size of the cut-in picture 2088 may be changed. In other words, the cut-in pattern 2088 can be changed as the number of pseudo-continuous operations increases to provide a step-up effect. When the size of the cut-in pattern 2088 increases as the number of pseudo consecutive times increases, the number of overlapping areas also increases, and the portion that becomes difficult to visually recognize increases. For example, if the cut-in pattern 2088 overlaps the upper half area, the 4th pattern 2081 of the special figure 1 and the 4th pattern 2082 of the special figure 2 become difficult to view or cannot be visually recognized, and overlap the lower half area. For example, both the variable icon display area 208e and the hold icon display area 208f are difficult to view or cannot be viewed.

  In addition, in the description before the description using FIG. 37, the operation of the first movable means 2248 described with reference to FIG. 37 is combined with the example in which the operation of the first movable means is not described. And

  FIG. 38 is a view showing a modification of the operation mode of the first movable means 2248 shown in FIG.

  In the example shown on the left in FIG. 38, the advance / retreat operation is performed once with the first movable means 2248 turned off simultaneously with the temporary stop. That is, as shown in FIG. 38 (b), the first movable means 2248 advances from the initial position to the stop position described using FIG. 37 (c) at the same time as the temporary stop, and stops at the stop position. Without returning to the initial position, as shown in FIG. 38C, the initial position is reached simultaneously with the start of the re-variation display.

  In the example shown in the center of FIG. 38, as shown in FIG. 38B, the first movable means 2248 remains stopped at the initial position in a light-off state even if a temporary stop is performed. That is, even if the first notification by the pseudo-continuous design is started, the first movable means 2248 does not start the operation. Simultaneously with the start of re-variation display, the second notification with the character display of “× 2” is started, and the first movable means 2248 advances from the initial position to the stop position and stops at the stop position. Without returning to the initial position, it immediately returns to the initial position before the shaking display is started in any one of the three symbol display areas 208a to 208c. Therefore, the example shown in the center of FIG. 38 is an example in which the first movable unit 2248 starts operating simultaneously with the start of the second notification by the character display of “× 2”.

  In the example shown in the center of FIG. 38, the operation of the first movable means 2248 is completed during the execution of the second notification that has started notification simultaneously with the start of the operation. For example, it may be completed at the same time as the start of the character display “× 3”) and the next operation may be started. In this case, the operation of the first movable unit 2248 is continuously performed.

  The first movable means 2248 may be composed of a plurality of movable bodies (for example, the first movable body to the third movable body). In this case, the character display “× 2” is displayed. The execution of (second notification) is started at the same time when at least one movable body starts its operation.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 38 is an example in which the second movable means 2249 for displaying the number of pseudo consecutive times is provided on the rear side (back side) of the first movable means 2248. In this example, as shown in FIG. 38 (U), the first movable means 2248 starts to advance from the initial position toward the stop position simultaneously with the start of the re-variation display. Furthermore, at the same time as the first movable means 2248 starts operation, the second movable means 2249 displaying “× 2” which is the number of pseudo-continuations from the rear side (back side) of the first movable means 2248, The first movable means 2248 jumps out toward the advance direction. The second movable means 2249 immediately returns to the rear side (back side) of the first movable means 2248, and the first movable means 2248 is also stopped at the stop position as in the example shown in the center of FIG. Return immediately to the initial position. As shown in FIG. 38 (e), at the timing when the first movable means 2248 reaches the initial position, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays a character display of “× 2” indicating the number of pseudo consecutive times. The character display “× 2” representing the number of times of pseudo-reaction here corresponds to an example of the second notification, but the notification of the number of times of pseudo-continuation by the second movable means 2249 is also considered as an example of the second notification. Can do.

  As described above, in the description using each figure, the symbol variation display of special figure 1 is described as an example, but the same is true for the symbol fluctuation display of special figure 2.

  Further, in the examples of FIGS. 14 to 38, even the effects and notifications described only in the examples can be combined with other examples.

  In addition, in the past, productions are often configured with a focus on only the number of pseudo-continuations and production of the development destination. For this reason, conventionally, the number of pseudo-continuations is always displayed after displaying the pseudo-continuous symbols, but it has not been possible to entertain the intermediate process. In the description so far, as in the example illustrated in FIG. That is, the display of the pseudo continuous number may be restricted, but the pseudo continuous number may be displayed as shown in FIG. Although the number of pseudo-continuations is directly linked to the expectation level, if the number of pseudo-continuations is not entangled with the expectation level, the existing player will feel uncomfortable. For this reason, a configuration that does not display the pseudo-continuous number at all also gives a sense of incongruity to an existing player.

  By displaying the pseudo-continuous number, even if there is a person who missed the pseudo-continuous pattern, the person can recognize that the pseudo-continuous effect is currently being executed by looking at the pseudo-continuous number display. The person who has grasped the current state and missed the pseudo-continuous pattern can be expected to have the next effect such as temporary stop and operation of the movable means in the series of pseudo-continuous effects. In addition, even if you do not miss the pseudo-continuous pattern, by viewing the display of the pseudo-continuous number of times, you can now recognize the number of times of fluctuation in the pseudo-continuous production, grasp the current state, here again, Therefore, expectation can be given to effects such as temporary stop and operation of movable means. On the other hand, if the person who missed the pseudo-continuous pattern does not show the display of the pseudo-continuous number of times, the fact that the pseudo-continuous effect is currently being executed may not be recognized at all. Repeated execution may increase expectations. Also, if you do not show the display of the number of pseudo-continuations to the person who saw the pseudo-continuous pattern, you may not know how many times the current fluctuation is, but the expectation increases as the number of pseudo-continuations increases, In some cases, the expectation may increase due to the prediction of the number of consecutive times.

  Further, when the suggestion notification of the pseudo continuous effect accompanied by the operation by the movable means is executed, the pseudo continuous number of times may be always notified after the display of the pseudo continuous design (after the start of the pseudo continuous effect). There may be cases where this is not done. Alternatively, the notification of the number of pseudo-continuations may not be performed on the condition that the pseudo-series effect suggestion notification accompanied by the operation by the movable means has been executed. The “simulated continuous effect suggestion notification” here may be a notice that the pseudo continuous effect will start, may be a fluctuation of the pseudo continuous pattern, or may indicate a temporary stop. Hereinafter, these will be collectively referred to as “pseudo-link suggestion notification”.

  Further, when the pseudo-continuous effect suggestion notification is executed in the state where the first effect mode is set (during the first effect mode), the notification of the number of pseudo-continuous effects may be performed without fail. There may be no cases. Alternatively, the notification of the pseudo-continuous number of times may not be performed on the condition that the notification of the pseudo-continuous effect suggestion is executed during the first effect mode.

  Moreover, the ratio at which the pseudo-continuous suggestion notification is executed may be different depending on the effect mode (for example, display mode) of the button effect shown in FIG. For example, the pattern 701 may be executed when it is displayed in red, non-executed when displayed in blue, or may be developed into a reach effect. At this time, the light emitting means incorporated in the actual chance button 700 may be lit in each color in conjunction with each other, or the display color of the pattern 701 may be the same and the light emission color by the light emitting means may be changed.

  Although many examples of the step-up effect have been described, each step-up effect may be an effect that is always executed, or may be an effect that may or may not be executed. Further, there may be a case where stepping up to the final stage, starting from the beginning to the final stage, or not stepping up to the final stage.

  Furthermore, one or more types of step-up effects and pseudo-continuous effects may be combined. In this case, the first step-up effect is always stepped up, the second step-up effect is not necessarily stepped up, The third step-up effect may or may not be stepped up. The step-up timing may be a temporary stop timing or a re-variable display start timing. Furthermore, the step-up timing may be different for each of a plurality of types of step-up effects. In addition, for each type of step-up production, step up to the final stage, from the beginning to the final stage, step up only to the intermediate stage, step up starts from the first stage, An effect in which step-up is started may be used.

  Some may change depending on the number of quasi-continuous operations. For example, the display mode of the background display (which may be the effect mode) may be changed depending on the number of times of the pseudo-continuous operation, the display mode of the effect with respect to the background display may be changed, or the mode of the pseudo-continuous suggestion notification may be changed. Alternatively, the mode of the pseudo continuous number notification may be changed, the mode of the sound effect performed in accordance with the pseudo continuous suggestion notification or the pseudo continuous number notification, or the chance button 700 or the like may be changed. The operation mode of the movable unit may be changed, and the light emission mode of the light emitting unit in the movable unit may be changed. Alternatively, the notification mode of the pseudo continuous number notification means having the light emitting means used for the pseudo continuous number notification may change depending on the pseudo continuous number of times. For example, when three LEDs are provided as the pseudo-continuous number notification means and the fourth continuous number of times is entered, there is no fourth LED, so that a premier effect in which the three LEDs emit seven colors appears. May be. Note that the pseudo-continuous number notification means may be a means combined with other effects and notifications, or may be a means dedicated to pseudo-continuous number notification.

  Moreover, although the pseudo-continuous suggestion notification itself may have a notice function, an effect of notifying the start of the pseudo-continuous suggestion notice may be further provided.

  Furthermore, a pseudo-continuous counter is provided, and when the count value reaches a high level, the pseudo-continuous production starts and the count value becomes zero. Even if the count value becomes zero, the count value is counted at the second or third pseudo-continuous count. May be revived or may not be revived. Alternatively, the quasi-continuous continuation (increase in the number of quasi-continuous times) may be notified in advance by the count value, or the third or fourth quasi-continuous number of times may be determined if a large number of count values can be stocked.

  Further, a count-up system effect different from the count-up of the pseudo continuous number may be stepped up. In this count-up effect, it is reset every time a series of pseudo-continuous effects are completed, or is reset every time a re-variable display is completed, as in the examples shown in FIGS. It may be a thing. Further, there may be a mode in which the display is not reset every time the re-variable display ends and increases at a stretch. Moreover, the aspect over which it is capped up over several times of re-variation display may be sufficient, and the aspect over which it is capped up over the symbol fluctuation display of the special figure of multiple times may be sufficient. Moreover, the display mode of the change icon may be changed when the count-up effect reaches the first state regardless of the number of pseudo-continuous operations.

  Further, when the pseudo-continuous effect is started, both the hold icon and the change icon display may disappear, the hold icon disappears and only the change icon remains, or conversely, the change icon disappears and only the hold icon remains.

  Further, every time the re-variable display is started, the effect by the hold icon may be stepped up. For example, the display mode of the hold icon may be stepped up. In addition, when the hold icon changed from the default display mode is displayed, the display mode is further changed at the timing when the first re-variation display is started.

  In addition, a pseudo-continuous symbol such as a symbol displayed as “NEXT” may be continuously displayed during the temporary stop period, or may be displayed between the start of the temporary stop and the end thereof, The display may be started after the temporary stop is started, the display may be ended simultaneously with the temporary stop, the display may be started simultaneously with the temporary stop, and the display may be ended before the temporary stop is ended. Or, if it is a pseudo-continuous symbol such as a cut-in symbol, it may be displayed before the start of the temporary stop. Further, the size of the pseudo-continuous symbol may be the same as the size of the decorative symbol displayed in a shaking manner, or may be larger or smaller than the size of the decorative symbol displayed in a shaking manner.

  Further, the notification indicating the number of pseudo-continuations such as “× 2” and “× 3” may be continuously notified during the re-variable display period, or from the start of the re-variable display to the end thereof. The notification may be started after the start of the re-variable display, the notification may be terminated simultaneously with the end of the re-variable display, the notification may be started simultaneously with the start of the re-variable display, and the end of the re-variable display. Notification may be ended before. Alternatively, the notification may be started before the start of re-variable display. For example, the notification may be started from the timing between the temporary stop and the re-variable display, or from the same timing as the temporary stop. Further, the size of the display indicating the number of pseudo consecutive times may be the same as the size of the decorative design, or may be larger or smaller than the size of the decorative design. Moreover, the size of the hold icon or the variable icon may be the same, or may be larger or smaller than these sizes.

  In addition, the display areas of each display may be partially overlapped or all overlapped.

  Furthermore, the first notification and the second notification may be notification using sound, notification using sound, notification using light, or a combination thereof.

  In addition to the pseudo-continuous performance, an effect (for example, a step-up effect) linked to the pseudo-continuous number may be performed, or an effect not linked to the pseudo-continuous number (for example, a character notice shown in FIG. 25 or FIG. 26). May be performed.

  Next, details and modifications of the pachinko machine to which the present invention can be applied will be described.

  FIG. 39A is a diagram illustrating an example in which a sub display unit 209 such as a liquid crystal display device is provided below the decorative symbol display device 208. If the decorative symbol display device 208 is the first effect display means, the sub display means 209 becomes the second effect display means. The installation position of the second effect display means is not limited to the lower side of the decorative symbol display device 208. Also, the display area of the sub display means 209 shown in FIG. 39A is smaller than the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208, but may be the same size as the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208. Further, the sub display unit 209 may be fixed, or may be a unit that can move and rotate. For example, the player side (front side) of the decorative symbol display device 208 is decorated. If it can move to a position overlapping the symbol display device 208, the sub display means 209 can hide a part of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208.

  FIG. 39B is a diagram showing an example in which the first movable means 2080 is provided above the decorative symbol display device 208 and the second movable means 2089 is provided on the left side of the decorative symbol display device 208. The first movable unit 2080 and the second movable unit 2089 can operate independently of each other or can be linked to each other. Further, the installation position of the first movable means 2080 is not limited to the upper side of the decorative symbol display device 208, and the installation position of the second movable means 2089 is not limited to the left side of the decorative symbol display device 208.

  FIG. 39C to FIG. 39J are tables showing the relationship between a plurality of types of notifications and pseudo-continuous effects, respectively. In each table, “pseudo-run 1” means the fluctuation of the first time of the pseudo-run, “pseudo-run 2” means the fluctuation of the second time of the pseudo-run, and “pseudo-run 3” means the fluctuation of the third time of the pseudo-run. Means. “Notification A” corresponds to an example of the first notification, “Notification B” corresponds to an example of the second notification, and “Notification C” corresponds to an example of the third notification. Various notifications can be regarded as effects. In the example shown in each table of FIG. 39C to FIG. 39J, only one type of notification mode (“A”) is prepared for the notification A, but a plurality of types of notification modes are prepared. It may be. A specific example of the notification A is, for example, a pseudo-continuous symbol displayed as “NEXT”. On the other hand, for the notification B, a plurality of types of notification modes or production contents are prepared. That is, B1, B2, and B3 represent the notification mode or the content of the presentation of the notification B, respectively, and the presentation may be stepped up by increasing the number, the notification mode may be completely different, or the presentation The contents may be different. As a specific example of the notification A, for example, a character display indicating the number of pseudo consecutive times such as “× 2” or “× 3” can be given. The same applies to the notification C. A specific example of the notification C is a cut-in pattern 2088, for example.

  In the table shown in FIG. 39C, two types of notifications, notification A and notification B, are performed. In the example shown in this table, the notification A is executed in the same notification mode in all variations of the first to third pseudo-continuous times, but the notification B changes the notification mode for each variation in the pseudo-continuous performance. To be executed.

  In the table shown in FIG. 39D, only one type of notification A is performed. The notification A here is executed by changing the notification mode for each change in the pseudo-continuous effect.

  The example shown in the table of FIG. 39E is an example in which the notification C is added to the example shown in the table of FIG. That is, three types of notifications of notification A, notification B, and notification C are performed, and the notification C is executed by changing the notification mode for each change in the pseudo-continuous effect.

  The example shown in the table of FIG. 39F is an example in which the notification B is omitted from the example shown in the table of FIG. That is, two types of notification, notification A and notification C, are performed.

  The example shown in the table of FIG. 39 (g) is a first modification of the example shown in the table of FIG. 39 (e), and the notification C is the same notification in the first two fluctuations in the pseudo-continuous performance. A certain notification C1 is performed, and a notification C3 is performed only at the last change. Therefore, in the fluctuation between the second and third pseudo-continuous times, there may be a case where the impression of the notification C can be given suddenly.

  The example shown in the table of FIG. 39 (h) is a modified example of the example shown in the table of FIG. 39 (f). In this example as well, as with FIG. The notification C1 that is the same notification is performed in the two fluctuations, and the notification C3 is performed only in the last fluctuation.

  The example shown in the table of FIG. 39 (i) is a second modification of the example shown in the table of FIG. 39 (e). For the notification C, the same notification of the notification C3 is performed along with the three variations in the pseudo-continuous performance. Implemented in a manner.

  The example shown in the table of FIG. 39 (j) is an example in which the notification B is omitted from the example shown in the table of FIG. That is, two types of notification, notification A and notification C, are performed, and in both notifications, the three variations in the pseudo-continuous effect are executed in the same notification mode.

  FIG. 40 is a diagram for explaining the display area.

  FIG. 40A shows a reserved icon display area 208f in the decorative symbol display device 208 which is a liquid crystal display device. The hold icon display area 208f is an area surrounded by a dotted line, and is an area in which four hold icons h1 to h4 can be displayed.

  FIG. 40B shows the hold icon hd in the default display mode. In the example described with reference to FIG. 40, the default display mode is a gray rectangular display mode. On the other hand, FIG. 40 (c) shows the hold icon hc of the pre-reading notice display mode for the jackpot of the special figure, and the display mode of the pre-reading notice here is a gray rhombus display form. In both FIG. 40 (b) and FIG. 40 (c), the hold icons hd and hc are shown where the pixels p are shown in a matrix, and the pixels filled in black in each figure. The arrangement indicates the outline of the individual display area of each hold icon alone.

  FIG. 40D shows the outline of the individual display area of the hold icon hd in the default display mode, and FIG. 40E shows the outline of the individual display area of the hold icon hd in the display mode of the pre-reading notice. That is, FIG. 40D is a diagram showing only the arrangement of pixels painted black in FIG. 40B, and FIG. 40E is the arrangement of pixels painted black in FIG. FIG.

  FIG. 40 (f) shows a state in which the individual display area of the default hold icon hd shown in FIG. 40 (b) and the individual display area of the hold icon hd for the pre-reading notice overlap. FIG. In the part of the pixel p where the two individual display areas overlap, the hold icon drawn on the front (upper) layer is easier to see (viewable) and is drawn on the back (lower) layer. The hold icon is more difficult to see (not visible).

  FIG. 40 (g) is a diagram illustrating a state where the entire hold icon display area 208f is masked. That is, a black image covering the entire hold icon display area 208f is displayed, and the hold icon displayed in the hold icon display area 208f is invisible.

  FIG. 40 (h) is a diagram showing an individual display area of each hold icon in FIG. In FIG. 40 (h), the outline of the individual display area of each hold icon is represented by a white line, and the portion inside the outline is represented by light gray. The individual display area of each hold icon is an area formed by combining a white line and a light gray portion inside thereof.

  In FIG. 40 (i), the decorative symbol change display performed by the decorative symbol display device 208 is represented by a gray arrow. Here, as a result of the enlarged display of the decorative symbol variation display, a part of the left decorative symbol variation display and a part of the central decorative symbol variation display overlap the hold icon display area 208f. The state of the hold icon display area 208f shown in FIG. 40 (i) is entirely covered with a black image like the state of the hold icon display area 208f shown in FIG. A part of the variable display and a part of the variable display of the decorative pattern in the center are also invisible due to the black image.

  FIG. 40 (j) is a diagram showing a state in which all the hold icons have disappeared due to the development of super reach production. Even in the state shown in FIG. 40 (j), the hold icon display area 208f and the individual display area of each hold icon are not lost, but the hold icon that should be displayed in the individual display area of the hold icon is displayed in the individual display area. Is not drawn on the screen, or is drawn in the individual display area, but is drawn on the back (lower) layer, so that the player cannot see the hold icon.

  FIG. 41 is a timing chart regarding pseudo-continuous effects. In this timing chart, time elapses from the left to the right in the figure.

  FIG. 41A shows a symbol variation display (special symbol variation display) on the first special symbol display device 212 or the second special symbol display device 214, and a symbol variation display (decoration symbol variation display) on the decorative symbol display device 208. It is a timing chart which shows a temporal relationship with this. Including the timing chart described below, the period in which the chart is completely rising is a fluctuating period, the period in which it is completely falling is a period in which it is stopped, and the period in which it is half-falling is temporarily It is a period of suspension. In this timing chart, the change display of the special symbol and the change display of the decorative symbol are started at the same time. While the change display of the special symbol continues, the temporary stop occurs twice in the change display of the decorative symbol. The change display of the display and the change display of the decorative pattern are finished simultaneously. In the case of this example, the number of pseudo continuous operations is three.

  In the timing chart shown in FIG. 41 (b), the decorative symbol variation display is started after the start of the special symbol variation display due to the command transmission time lag or the time lag until the interruption processing is executed. After the end of the change display, the decorative pattern change display ends. Even in such a case, the decorative symbol variation display is started in accordance with the start of the special symbol variation display, and the decorative symbol variation display is terminated in accordance with the end of the special symbol variation display. When the special symbol variation display is started, the decorative symbol variation display is also started, and when the special symbol variation display is terminated, the decoration symbol variation display is also terminated. I do.

  Both FIG. 41 (c) and FIG. 41 (d) are timing charts showing the temporal relationship between the decorative symbol variation display and the first notification and the second notification. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 41 (c), the first notification is executed during the temporary stop period, and the second notification is executed during the re-variable display period. Note that the first notification is started at the same time as the temporary stop is started, and is ended at the same time as the temporary stop is ended (revariation display is started). Before the start of the temporary stop, or at the same time as the start of the temporary stop, and before the end of the temporary stop (start of re-variable display) or after the start of the temporary stop, It may end simultaneously with the start of display. In addition, the second notification starts at the same time as the start of the re-variable display, and ends at the same time as the end of the re-variable display (start of the temporary stop). It starts before the temporary stop) or starts at the same time as the re-variable display, and ends before the end of the re-variable display (start of the temporary stop) May be completed simultaneously with the end of (the start of temporary stop). On the other hand, in the timing chart shown in FIG. 41 (d), the first notification is executed during the temporary stop period as in the case of the first notification in FIG. Is not executed.

  Both FIG. 41 (e) and FIG. 41 (f) are timing charts showing the temporal relationship between the first notification and the second notification. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 41 (e), the second notification is started after the start of the first notification, and the first notification and the second notification are overlapped and a period is provided. Yes. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 41 (e), the second notification is started after the start of the first notification, and the first notification and the second notification are overlapped and a period is provided. Yes. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 41 (f), the second notification is started simultaneously with the start of the first notification. However, the first notification ends first, and the second notification It ends after the notification ends.

  FIG. 42 is a timing chart including effects by the first movable means. Even in this timing chart, time elapses from the left to the right in the figure.

  FIG. 42 (a) is the same temporal relationship as shown in FIG. 41 (c), and the first notification and the second notification are executed, and the first movable means is operated. Is executed before the temporary stop.

  FIG. 42B is the same time relationship as shown in FIG. 41D, and the first notification and the second notification are executed, and further, the first movable means operates. Is never executed.

  Both FIG. 42 (c) and FIG. 42 (d) are timing charts related to the effect mode A. The second notification is executed when the effect mode A is set, and the second notification is not executed when the effect mode A is not set. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 42 (c), the effect mode A is set before the decorative symbol variation display is started, and even if the decoration symbol variation display ends, the effect mode A is continuously set. Yes. Therefore, it is in the state of effect mode A even during temporary stop or during re-variable display. By setting the effect mode A, the second notification is executed during the re-variable display period. On the other hand, in the timing chart shown in FIG. 42C, the production mode A is never set, and therefore the second notification is never executed. In the effect mode A, an effect is produced by the operation of the first movable means. If the effect mode A is not set, the first movable means may remain stationary.

  FIG. 43 is a modification of the timing chart shown in FIG.

  FIG. 43A shows the temporal relationship between the first notification, the second notification, and the effect of the first movable means in the timing chart shown in FIG.

  In the modified example, as shown in FIG. 43 (b), the production by the operation of the first movable means starts before the temporary stop, but ends at the same time as the temporary stop starts. It ends without stopping temporarily. That is, the end timing of the production of the first movable means is before the start of the re-variable display, but may be simultaneously with the start of the re-variable display, in other words, simultaneously with the start of the second notification. .

  FIG. 44 is a diagram for explaining a visual recognition state on the decorative symbol display device 208. Here, the “object” in the figure means a tangible or intangible object that can change the visual recognition state (degree of visibility) of the decorative symbol display device 208, for example, an image (for example, a hold icon, Fluctuating icons, texture images that constitute reserved animation, various images used for production, images used for notice, character images), movable bodies (eg, production movable bodies, shielding devices), glass or resin The transparent plate member or the like is included.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 1A and 1A, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is covered with the first object ob1, so that at least the first of the display regions of the decorative symbol display device 208 is the first. The display area covered by the object ob1 is not visible from the front (or difficult to see). Further, in this example, by covering a part of the display area of the decorative design display device 208 and a part of the first object ob1 with the second object ob2, the display area of the decorative design display device 208 is The display area covered only by the second object ob2 is also invisible (or difficult to see) from the front, and the part of the first object ob1 covered by the second object ob2 is also from the front. Visible (or difficult to see).

  That is, in this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is obscured by the first object ob1 and the second object ob2, and a part of the first object ob1 is also covered by the second object ob2. Covered. Although not shown, after the display is performed so that the first object ob1 and the second object ob2 do not overlap with each other in the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208, they are shown in FIGS. Thus, a part of the first object ob1 is obscured by the second object ob2, and all the first objects ob1 are covered by the second object ob2, as shown in FIGS. The cover-up display may be executed continuously.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is covered with the first object ob1, and the entire first object ob1 is covered with the second object ob2. As a result, among the display areas of the decorative symbol display device 208, at least the display area covered by the second object ob2 is made invisible (or difficult to view) from the front. In addition, the example shown in FIGS. 6A and 6C is the same as that shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B in that the display area covered by the second object ob2 is invisible (or difficult to view) from the front. ), But the range that is not visible (or difficult to view) is expanded by the second object ob2 as compared with the example shown in FIGS. In this way, the outside of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 may be invisible (or difficult to see). In other words, in the example shown in FIGS. 3A and 3C, the second object ob2 has a part of a side of the decorative symbol display device 208 invisible (or difficult to see). it can.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 2B and 2B, the positional relationship between the first object ob1 and the second object ob2 shown in FIGS. In this example, by covering a part of the display area of the decorative design display device 208 with the second object ob2, the display area covered with at least the second object ob2 in the display area of the decorative design display device 208. However, it cannot be visually recognized from the front (or difficult to see). Further, in this example, by covering a part of the display area of the decorative design display device 208 and a part of the second object ob2 with the first object ob1, the display area of the decorative design display device 208 is The display area covered only by the first object ob1 is also invisible (or difficult to see) from the front, and the portion of the second object ob2 covered by the first object ob1 is also from the front. Visible (or difficult to see).

  That is, in this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is obscured by the first object ob1 and the second object ob2, and a part of the second object ob2 is also covered by the first object ob1. Covered.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 3C and 1C, the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is covered with a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 with the first object ob1 and the third object ob3. Among these, the display area covered by at least the first object ob1 and the third object ob3 is not visible (or difficult to see) from the front. In this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208, a part of the first object ob1, and a part of the third object ob3 are further covered with the second object ob2, thereby decorating the decoration. Of the display area of the symbol display device 208, the display area covered only by the second object ob2 is also not visible (or difficult to see) from the front, and the first object ob1 and the third object ob3 are not visible. Of these, the portion covered with the second object ob2 is also not visible (or difficult to view) from the front.

  That is, in this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is obscured by the first object ob1, the second object ob2, and the third object ob3, and the first object ob1 and the third object ob3. A part of the object ob3 is also obscured by the second object ob2.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 2C and 2C, the position of the third object ob3 is changed from the example shown in FIGS. In this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is obscured by the first object ob1, the second object ob2, and the third object ob3 as shown in FIGS. Although it is the same as an example, since the position of the 3rd object ob3 is moved to the range which is not covered with the 2nd object ob2, the 3rd object ob3 is made visible from the front.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 3C and 3C, the position of the third object ob3 is changed from the examples shown in FIGS. In this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is obscured by the first object ob1, the second object ob2, and the third object ob3 (c) (1), ( 2) Although the same as the example shown in 2), since the position of the third object ob3 is moved to a position covering the first object ob1, the third object ob3 is visible from the front. Part of the first object ob1 is obscured by the third object ob3.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 4C and 4C, the position of the third object ob3 is changed from the examples shown in FIGS. In this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is obscured by the first object ob1, the second object ob2, and the third object ob3. 3) Although it is the same as the example shown in 3), since the position of the third object ob3 is moved to a position covering the second object ob2, the third object ob3 is visible from the front side. Part of the second object ob2 is obscured by the third object ob3.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 5C and 5C, the position of the third object ob3 is changed from the examples shown in FIGS. In this example, a part of the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is obscured by the first object ob1, the second object ob2, and the third object ob3. 4), but since the position of the third object ob3 is moved to a position covering the first object ob1 and the second object ob2, the third object ob3 is visible from the front. On the other hand, a part of the first object ob1 and the second object ob2 is obscured by the third object ob3.

  FIG. 6D is a diagram showing variations in the shape of the second object ob2. The second object ob2 may have a rectangular shape as shown in FIGS. 4 (d) and (1), or an opening may be formed in a part thereof as shown in FIGS. 2 (d) and (2). Therefore, the rear may be configured to be visible through the opening. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3D and 3C, a notch portion may be formed in a part of the outer edge so that the rear side can be visually recognized through the notch portion. As shown in 4), both the opening and the notch may be formed.

  Here, a supplementary description of pseudo-continuous production will be given. As described above, the pseudo-rendition effect is based on one start prize in order to make it appear as if multiple symbol change display (update) has been executed for one start prize. Special fluctuation that executes temporary stop and re-variation display one or more times for a part of the symbol sequence (one or two in the left and right) or the entire symbol sequence (in the left and right) within the determined variation time This refers to the production of patterns. In general, the greater the number of repeated executions of the re-variable display (the number of pseudo-reams), the higher the reliability such as big hit, probability variation big hit, reach, specific reach, and promotion to probability variation. Note that when a pseudo-continuous effect is executed, a certain reach effect may be finally executed. Furthermore, the production | generation ratio may change with the number of times of repeated execution of re-variable display (the number of pseudo-continuous times). For example, when the number of executions of re-variation display reaches 2 times (in this case, the number of times of quasi-continuous becomes 3 times obtained by adding the first symbol variation start time), “reach confirmation” is reached, and the number of re-variation executions is 3 It may be such that “super reach confirmation” is reached up to 4 times (pseudo continuous number of times), and “big hit is determined” when the number of re-variation executions is up to 4 times (pseudo continuous number of times 5). Moreover, you may make the combination of the stop symbol at the time of a temporary stop the specific chance. For example, an odd number of “decoration 1” — “decoration 3” — “decoration 5”, and a distinctive appearance that is not a flat eye like the arrangement of “decoration 1” — “decoration 2” — “decoration 3” By giving out, it is possible to appeal the pseudo-continuous effect to the player. In addition, by performing a special notification effect (display effect, sound output effect, light emission effect, accessory movable effect, etc.) during temporary stop and / or re-variable display, it is possible to more closely simulate the player. You can appeal the production. Note that the pseudo-continuous production is performed by a plurality of types of movable means (for example, the first movable body 2243, the second movable body 2244, the first movable means 2248, 2080, the second movable means 2249, 2089). An effect in which at least one of the movable means always operates, an effect in which all the movable means always operate, or an effect in which all the movable means do not always operate. It may be an effect in which all the movable means may operate, or an effect in which all the movable means may not operate.

  In addition, when power interruption occurs and power is restored, an initial position return operation (initial operation) is performed. If a power interruption occurs and power is restored during the production operation of the movable means in the pseudo-continuous production, the movable means performs an initial operation, and thereafter, until a new production operation or a new pseudo-continuous production itself is started. Wait at the initial position. Further, even when the power interruption occurs after the pseudo-continuous production is started and before the production operation of the movable means starts, the movable means first performs an initial operation. After that, it may wait at the initial position until a new production operation or a new pseudo-continuous production itself is started, but the production operation by the pseudo-continuous production before power interruption may be started.

  What has been referred to as a lamp so far is an example of a light emitting means, and the lamp can be replaced as long as it emits light such as an LED or a cold cathode tube.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the description of “... in some cases” may be appropriately replaced with “may not be in some cases” or “is always in some cases”. is there.
