  As shown in FIG. 4A, the main RAM 301c functions as a data work area when the main CPU 301a performs arithmetic processing, and has a plurality of storage areas. For example, the main RAM 301c has a holding information storage area 301cx, a holding information determination area 301cy, and an acquired outdue equivalent information storage area 301cz. Further, the main RAM 301c is a storage area (not shown) for storing various flags (probability changing game flag, short-time game flag, jackpot game flag, etc., which will be described later), various recorded values (variable K, constant Km, which will be described later) and the like. Z).

  As shown in FIG. 4-2 (B), the hold information storage area 301cx includes four hold information areas (the first hold information) that can store the hold information related to the first starter 112 and the hold order information at the time of acquisition in association with each other. 1 hold information area, 2nd hold information area, 3rd hold information area, 4th hold information area), and 4 hold information areas (first hold information area, A second reserved information area, a third reserved information area, and a fourth reserved information area).

  In the hold information area corresponding to the first special symbol in the hold information storage area 301cx, the hold information is stored in the first hold information area with the highest priority, and the hold information is stored in the first hold information area. If stored, then the second reserved information area is preferentially stored, the third reserved information area is preferentially stored, and finally the fourth reserved information area is stored. Selected. The same applies to the hold information area corresponding to the second special symbol. In FIG. 4B, “O” is shown in the hold information area where the hold information is stored, and “-” is shown in the hold information area where the hold information is not stored. It is shown.

The on-hold hold order information stored in the hold information area of the hold information storage area 301cx is information indicating the hold order when the hold information is acquired. Specifically, the hold order information at the time of acquisition corresponds to the number of the hold information area stored at that time when the hold information is acquired. For example, when the hold information is acquired and the hold information is stored only in the first hold information area, the hold information is stored in the second hold information area. The information is “2”. When the hold information is acquired and the hold information is stored in the first hold information area, the second hold information area, and the third hold information area, the hold information is stored in the fourth hold information area. Since it is stored, the reservation order information at the time of acquisition is “4”.

The acquired payout equivalent information represents the number of game balls paid out to the player based on winning in the big winning device 117 in the big hit gaming state. When the number of winning balls equivalent information stored in the winning ball equivalent information storage area 301 cz (also referred to as the winning ball equivalent number) is one game ball enters the big winning device 117 (for example, 15) Add one by one. In other words, the number represented by the information corresponding to the earned game is a value obtained by multiplying the number of game balls entered into the big winning device 117 by the number of prize balls in the jackpot game state.
Note that the earned ball equivalent information stored in the earned ball equivalent information storage area 301cz is reset (erased) by the main CPU 301a when the short-time gaming state ends. Therefore, the number represented by this earned ball equivalent information is the number of game balls paid out to the jackpot gaming state at the time of the first jackpot and the case where the game state is shifted to the jackpot gaming state again before the short-time gaming state after the first jackpot ends. This is the sum of the number of game balls paid out. In other words, the number of winning balls equivalent while the short-time gaming state continues is incremented by the number of game balls paid out in the jackpot gaming state every time the jackpot gaming state is shifted.

Transmit to the control board 340. Details of the determination of the effect pattern will be described later.

  The sub ROM 320b stores a program for effect control, data necessary for determining various games, and a plurality of tables. Details of these tables will be described later.

  The sub RAM 320c functions as a data work area during the arithmetic processing of the sub CPU 320a, and stores a gaming state, a production pattern, a decorative symbol, a counter, and firing operation information. The sub RAM 320c is provided with a plurality of storage areas. Details of these storage areas will be described later.

  The image control board 330 includes an image CPU (not shown), control ROM, control RAM, CGROM, VRAM, VDP, audio CPU, audio ROM, and audio RAM for performing image display control of the main display device 131. . The image control board 330 is connected to the effect control board 320 so that bidirectional communication is possible, and a main display device 131 and an audio output device 331 are connected to the output side thereof.

  The CGROM stores a large number of image data such as decorative symbols and backgrounds displayed on the main display device 131. The image CPU executes a predetermined program based on the effect pattern designation command transmitted from the effect control board 320. At the same time as reading, predetermined image data stored in the CGROM is developed in the VRAM, and the image data developed in the VRAM is controlled to be displayed on the main display device 131, thereby realizing a display effect.

  The audio ROM stores a large number of audio data to be output from the audio output device 331, and the audio CPU reads a predetermined program based on the effect pattern designation command transmitted from the effect control board 320. At the same time, audio output control is performed in the audio output device 331 to realize audio production.

  The lamp control board 340 performs control of various movable accessories and control of the lighting device 342 for production such as a lamp built in the production button 135 and a lamp built in the launching handle 103. Specifically, the lamp control board 340 drives and controls the effect button 135, the deformed character unit 154, the first ironman unit 155, the second ironman unit 156, the captain unit 161, the strong man unit 171, and the saddle unit 181.

In addition, the lamp control board 340 realizes an illumination effect by performing lighting control or blinking control of the effect lighting device 342.

  The firing control board 350 inputs a touch signal from the touch sensor 351 and performs energization control on the firing solenoid 353 and the ball feed solenoid 354 based on the voltage supplied from the firing volume 352.

  The touch sensor 351 includes a capacitance type proximity switch that uses a change in capacitance caused by the player touching the firing handle device 103, and detects that the player has touched the firing handle device 103. Then, a touch signal that permits energization of the firing solenoid 353 is output to the firing control board 350.

  The firing volume 352 includes a variable resistor, and a constant voltage (for example, 5 V) applied to the firing volume 352 is divided by the variable resistor, and the divided voltage is supplied to the firing control board 350.

  Here, the rotational speed of the firing solenoid 353 is set to about 99.9 (times / minute) based on the frequency based on the output period of the crystal oscillator provided on the firing control board 350. As a result, the number of game balls fired per minute is about 99.9 (pieces / minute) because one ball is fired every time the firing solenoid rotates. That is, one game ball is fired about every 0.6 seconds.

  Note that the touch signal from the touch sensor 351 and the voltage signal from the firing volume 352 are input to the effect control board 320. Thereby, it is possible to detect the launch of the game ball on the effect control board 320.

The backup power source is not limited to a capacitor, and for example, a battery may be used, and a capacitor and a battery may be used in combination.

[Description of gaming state]
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing various determination tables and the like. Specifically, FIG. 5A shows a non-probable change jackpot determination table T1A, FIG. 5B shows a probability change jackpot determination table T1B, and FIG. 5C shows a normal symbol determination table T6. Indicates.

  In the gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, the gaming state relating to the jackpot determination can be set to “non-probability changing gaming state” or “probability changing gaming state”. Further, in the gaming machine 100, the game state relating to the normal symbol determination can be set to “non-short game state” or “time-short game state”. These gaming states will be described below.

[Explanation of non-probability game state and probability change game state]
In the jackpot determination in the non-probability variable gaming state, the non-probability variable jackpot determination table T1A shown in FIG. 5A is used. In the non-probable change jackpot determination table T1A, the jackpot value determined as a jackpot in the jackpot determination is set to three numerical values “0” to “2”. In the jackpot determination using the non-probable change jackpot determination table T1A, a jackpot random number (a numerical value of “0” to “1199”) acquired when entering the first starter 112 or the second starter 115 is obtained. If it is one of the above three jackpot values, it is determined as “big hit”, and if it is not any of them, it is determined as “lost”. That is, in the case of the non-probability variable gaming state, the probability that the jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot (also referred to as a jackpot probability) is 1/400.

  For jackpot determination in the probability variation state, a probability variation jackpot determination table T1B shown in FIG. 5B is used. In the probability change jackpot determination table T1B, the jackpot value determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot determination is set to 20 numbers from “0” to “19”. In the jackpot determination using the probability change jackpot determination table T1B, the jackpot random number (a numerical value of “0” to “1199”) acquired when entering the first starter 112 or the second starter 115 is If it is any of the above 20 jackpot values, it is determined as “big hit”, and if it is not any of them, it is determined as “lost”. That is, the jackpot probability in the probability variation gaming state is 1/60.

  Therefore, the probability variation gaming state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability in the jackpot determination is set higher than that in the non-probability variation gaming state, and is more advantageous to the player than the non-probability variation gaming state. In the case of the probability variation game state, the probability variation game flag is set to “ON”, and in the case of the non-probability variation game state, the probability variation game flag is “OFF”. Further, the transition from the non-probability change gaming state to the probability change game state or the transition from the probability change game state to the non-probability change game state may be executed after the end of the jackpot game.

[Explanation of non-short-time gaming state and short-time gaming state]
As shown in FIG. 5C, in the normal symbol determination table T6, in the normal symbol determination in the non-time-saving gaming state, the winning value determined to be a winning is set only to “0”, and the normal symbol determination in the time-saving gaming state In this case, 65535 hit values from “0” to “65534” are set.

  In the normal symbol determination in the non-time-saving gaming state, the normal symbol random number (a numerical value of “0” to “65535”) acquired when the game ball passes through the gate 113b is the only one hit value “0”. When it is, it is determined as “winning”, and when it is not “0”, it is determined as “lost”. That is, in the non-short-time gaming state, the probability of being determined to be a hit in the normal symbol determination is 1/65536.

  On the other hand, in the normal symbol determination in the short-time gaming state, the normal symbol random number (a numerical value of “0” to “65535”) acquired when the game ball passes to the gate 113b is one of the above 65535 winning values. When it is, it is determined as “winning”, and when it is neither, it is determined as “lost”. That is, in the non-short-time gaming state, the probability of being determined to be a hit in the normal symbol determination is 65535 / 65536≈1 / 1.00002.

  Also, in the non-short-time gaming state, after the normal symbol determination is executed on the condition that the game ball has passed through the gate 113b, the variation time from the start of the normal symbol change to the stop display is 12 seconds. The opening control time for moving the movable piece 115b to open the second starter 115 when the winning is won is set to be relatively short, 0.2 seconds. That is, in the non-short game state, when the game ball passes through the gate 113b, the normal symbol determination is performed, and the normal symbol display is performed on the normal symbol display 118. Is stopped and displayed 12 seconds after starting. If the determination result is a win, the second starter 115 is opened for 0.2 seconds by the movement of the movable piece 115b after the normal symbol stop display.

  On the other hand, in the short-time gaming state, after the normal symbol determination performed on the condition that the game ball has passed through the gate 113b, the variation time from the start of the variation of the normal symbol to the stop display is 3 The opening control time for moving the movable piece 115b to open the second starter 115 when the winning is won is set to be relatively long as 2.5 seconds. That is, in the short-time gaming state, when the game ball passes through the gate 113b, the normal symbol determination is performed, and the normal symbol display is performed on the normal symbol display 118. Stop display 3 seconds after starting. If the determination result is a win, the second starting device 115 is opened for 2.5 seconds by the movement of the movable piece 115b after the normal symbol stop display.

As described above, in the non-time-saving gaming state, the normal symbol determination hit probability is set to be relatively low as 1/65536, the normal symbol variation time is set to be relatively long as 12 seconds, and the movable piece The opening control time of 115b is set to be relatively short as 0.2 seconds.
On the other hand, in the short-time gaming state, the normal symbol determination hit probability is set to a relatively high value of 65535/65536, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to a relatively short value of 3 seconds, and the movable piece 115b is opened. The control time is set relatively long as 2.5 seconds.

  Therefore, when the same number of game balls pass through the gate 113b, the time-saving gaming state is more easily controlled in the open state than in the non-time-saving gaming state. Thereby, in the short-time gaming state, the consumption of the game ball is suppressed during the progress of the game, and the game can proceed more advantageously for the player than in the non-short-time gaming state. In the short-time game state, the short-time game flag is set to “ON”, and in the non-short-time game state, the short-time game flag is “OFF”. Further, the transition from the non-time-saving gaming state to the time-saving gaming state, or the transition from the time-saving gaming state to the non-time-saving gaming state can be executed after the jackpot game ends.

  In the short-time gaming state of the above embodiment, compared to the non-short-time state, the probability of normal symbol determination is high, the variation time of the normal symbol is short, and the opening control time of the movable piece 115b is set long. Although the consumption of game balls is suppressed in the progress of the game, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, in the short-time gaming state, as compared with the non-short-time gaming state, at least one of the normal symbol determination hit probability, the normal symbol variation time, and the opening control time of the movable piece 115b suppresses the consumption of the game ball. It may be set to be. For example, in the short-time gaming state, in order to suppress the consumption of the game ball, it may be set so that only the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened compared to the non-short-time gaming state.

Hereinafter, a gaming state that is a non-probability changing gaming state and a non-time-saving gaming state is also referred to as a normal gaming state. A gaming state that is a non-probability variable gaming state and a short-time gaming state is also referred to as a low-probability short-time gaming state. A gaming state that is a probable gaming state and a non-time-saving gaming state is also referred to as a highly-probable non-time-short gaming state. A gaming state that is a probable gaming state and a short-time gaming state is also referred to as a high-probability short-time gaming state (latent gaming state).
Also, the short-time gaming state can be continuously performed for a predetermined number of fluctuations. The number of fluctuations in which the short-time gaming state is performed in this way is also referred to as a time-short fluctuation number.

[Description of jackpot game]
The jackpot game is executed when the jackpot game flag is ON, an opening effect until the big winning device 117 is first opened, a plurality of round games in which the big winning device 117 is repeatedly opened and closed, and the big winning device And an ending effect until the next change of the special symbol is started. The round game refers to a single opening period of the grand prize winning device 117, and includes a round game with a long opening and a round game with a short opening.

  In the long open round game, when a specified number (9 in this embodiment) of game balls enter the grand prize winning device 117, one round game is completed. Even if the specified number of game balls do not enter, one round game ends when the specified number of seconds (29.5 seconds in the present embodiment) elapses. In such a long open round game, it is easy for a game ball to enter the grand prize winning device 117, and a player can acquire a prize ball according to the winning game, so that a large amount of prize balls can be acquired. .

On the other hand, in a round game with a short opening, for example, the grand prize winning device 117 is released for 0.1 second, and one round game is completed. This is an open mode called “Paka”, which is an open mode in which a game ball is difficult to enter. Therefore, when the short is opened, it is not possible to expect a game ball to enter the grand prize winning device 117, and almost no prize ball can be expected.
Such a “big hit game” is digested by so-called “right-handed”. Even if it is short-opening, if a game ball enters, a winning ball is played, so “right-handed” may be instructed.

[Explanation of jackpot type]

[List of processes on main control board 300]
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic flow of processing executed by the main control board 300.
When the main CPU 301a of the main control board 300 is supplied with power, the main CPU 301a executes main processing based on a program stored in the main ROM 301b. As the main process, the main CPU 301a executes a power restoration process for restoring the gaming state before the power interruption from the power interruption or a RAM clear process for initializing the main RAM 301c. Further, the main CPU 301a updates the initial values of various random numbers (for example, jackpot random numbers) as the main process.
Further, the main CPU 301a repeatedly executes a timer interrupt process at regular intervals (for example, a 4-millisecond period) during execution of the main process. Hereinafter, various processes of the timer interrupt process will be described.

[Random number update processing]
First, the main CPU 301a executes a random number update process. In this random number update process, various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers, jackpot symbol random numbers, reach random numbers, variation pattern random numbers, and regular symbol random numbers are updated. These random numbers are incremented by “1” every time this process is performed. Each random value is returned to “0” after reaching a preset maximum value.

[Switch processing]
Subsequently, the main CPU 301a performs a switch process. This switch processing is executed when a detection signal from each switch is input. The switch process includes a starter switch process, a gate switch process, and a big prize device switch process. The starter switch process includes a prior determination process.

[Starter switch processing]
The main CPU 301a acquires a jackpot random number, a jackpot symbol random number, a reach random number, and a fluctuation pattern random number when the first starter 112 or the second starter 115 enters the ball as a starter switch process, These are stored as holding information in the holding information storage area 301cx (holding information area: see FIG. 4B) of the main RAM 301c. For example, when the main CPU 301a enters the first starter 112 and obtains the hold information for the first special symbol, the main CPU 301a holds the hold information in the hold information area corresponding to the first special symbol in the hold information storage area 301cx. Is stored, and the hold information is stored in the hold information area that should be stored preferentially after the hold information area. However, when the hold information is stored in the fourth hold information area, the hold information is not stored. The same process is performed when the hold information for the second special symbol is acquired.

  Further, when storing the hold information in the hold information storage area 301cx (hold information storage area) as the starter switch process, the main CPU 301a stores the hold information at the time of acquisition in association with the hold information in the hold information area. Is stored. In this case, when the hold information is acquired and the hold information is not stored in the hold information area, the hold information is stored in the first hold information area. , “1”.

[Preliminary judgment processing]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a prior determination process executed by the CPU 301a of the main control board 300. The main CPU 301a performs a pre-determination process during the starter switch process described above. In this pre-determination process, the acquired hold information and acquisition hold order information are stored in the hold information storage area 301cx (hold information area) when entering the first starter 123 and the second starter 124. Before the determination, jackpot determination, jackpot symbol determination, reach determination, and variation pattern determination are executed based on the hold information. In other words, this pre-determination process is a big hit determination process before the hold information stored in the hold information storage area 301cx (hold information area) is shifted to the hold information determination area 301cy and the special symbol determination is executed. This is a process for specifying the result, the jackpot symbol determination result, the reach determination result, and the variation pattern determination result in advance.

  As illustrated in FIG. 9, the main CPU 301a performs a jackpot determination based on the acquired hold information (a jackpot random number) in the process of S1001, and determines whether or not the jackpot is a jackpot. When the main CPU 301a determines that it is a big win (S1001: YES), it executes a jackpot symbol determination in the processing of S1002, specifies a big hit symbol (specific symbols A, B, C) as a special symbol, Thereafter, the process proceeds to S1004. On the other hand, if the main CPU 301a determines that it is not a big hit (S1001: NO), that is, if it is determined that it is a loss, it specifies a lost symbol as a special symbol in the process of S1003, and then proceeds to S1004. To do. Next, in step S1004, the main CPU 301a executes variation pattern determination and identifies the variation pattern. Subsequently, the main CPU 301a generates a hold command in the process of S1005. In the hold command, the hold additional information indicating that the hold information is added to the hold information storage area 301cx, the specified special symbol (hereinafter, also referred to as a special symbol for pre-determination), and the above specified A variation pattern (hereinafter also referred to as a variation pattern for pre-determination) and acquisition hold order information associated with the hold information are included. The special symbol for preliminary determination, the variation pattern for preliminary determination, and the hold order information at the time of acquisition are collectively referred to as preliminary determination information.

[Gate switch processing]
Further, as a gate switch process, the main CPU 301a acquires a normal symbol random number when a game ball passes through the gate 113b, and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the main RAM 301c.

[Large winning device switch processing]
The main CPU 301a executes detection of a game ball won in the big winning device 117 while the big winning game is being executed (during the big winning game state) as the big winning device switch process.
In this case, the main CPU 301a stores the number of game balls paid out to the player based on winning to the big winning device 117 in the big hit gaming state in the earned ball equivalent information storage area 301cz of the main RAM 301c. (Accumulated) is added to the number represented by the earned ball equivalent information.
Further, the main CPU 301a resets (deletes) the earned ball equivalent information stored in the earned ball equivalent information storage area 301cz when the short-time gaming state ends. As a result, the earned ball equivalent information stored in the earned ball equivalent information storage area 301cz is transferred while the number of game balls paid out in the jackpot gaming state at the time of the first jackpot and the short-time gaming state continues. It represents the sum of the number of game balls paid out in the jackpot game state. In other words, the number represented by the acquired payout equivalent information is the number of game balls paid out in the big hit game state at the time of consecutive Chang.
Further, the main CPU 301a sets an acquired output equivalent information command representing the acquired output equivalent information when the acquired output equivalent information is updated in the big winning device switch process.

[Special symbol processing]
After the switch process, the main CPU 301a performs a special symbol process that is a process related to the special symbol. This special symbol process includes a hold information shift process, a jackpot determination process, a jackpot symbol determination process, a reach determination process, a variation pattern setting process, and a special symbol stop process. Each process of the special symbol process will be described below.

[Hold information shift process]
The main CPU 301a executes a hold information shift process. Specifically, the main CPU 301a shifts the hold information and the hold order information at the time of acquisition in the hold information storage area 301cx of the main RAM 301c when the special symbol variation display is completed. For example, in the hold information storage area 301cx, the main CPU 301a stores hold information for the first special symbol in the first hold information area and the second hold information area, and stores the hold information for the second special symbol. If the change display of the special symbol is finished in a state where the information is not displayed, the holding information in the second holding information area corresponding to the first special symbol and the holding order information at the time of acquisition are shifted to the first holding information area. The hold information in the 1 hold information area and the hold order information at the time of acquisition are shifted to the hold information determination area 301cy of the main RAM 301c.

[Big hit judgment processing]
Next, the main CPU 301a executes a jackpot determination process. Specifically, the main CPU 301a executes jackpot determination based on the jackpot random number and the jackpot determination table T1 included in the hold information shifted to the hold information determination area 301cy by the hold information shift process. In this case, when the gaming state is a non-probability changing gaming state, the non-probability changing jackpot determination table T1A is used, and when the gaming state is a probability changing gaming state, the probability changing jackpot determination table T1B is used.

[Big jackpot judgment process]
Next, the main CPU 301a executes a jackpot symbol determination process. Specifically, when the jackpot determination ends, the main CPU 301a determines that the jackpot symbol random number and the jackpot symbol determination table T2 included in the hold information shifted by the hold information shift process when the jackpot determination result is a jackpot Based on this, the jackpot symbol determination is executed to determine the jackpot symbol (special symbol). In this case, when the type of the shifted holding information is the first special symbol, the special 1 jackpot symbol determination table T2A is used. When the type of the shifted holding information is the second special symbol, the special symbol 2 is used. The jackpot symbol determination table T2B is used. On the other hand, the main CPU 301a determines a predetermined lost symbol (special symbol) when the big hit determination results in a loss.

[Reach determination processing]
Next, the main CPU 301a executes reach determination processing. Specifically, the main CPU 301a executes reach determination based on the reach random number included in the shifted hold information and the reach determination table T3. In this case, when the gaming state is the non-probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the first special symbol, the special 1 normal time reach determination table is used. When the gaming state is the probability variation gaming state and the type of the hold information is the first special symbol, the special 1 probability variation reach determination table is used. When the gaming state is the non-probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the second special symbol, the special 2 normal time reach determination table is used. When the gaming state is the probability variation gaming state and the type of the hold information is the second special symbol, the special 2 probability variation reach determination table is used.

[Variation pattern setting process]
Next, the main CPU 301a executes a variation pattern setting process. Specifically, the main CPU 301a first determines whether to select the first variation pattern table T4 or the second variation pattern table T5 based on the on-holding order information at the time of acquisition. For example, when the acquisition hold order information is “3” or “4”, the first variation pattern table T4 is selected, and when the acquisition hold order information is “1” or “2”. Selects the second variation pattern table T5.

  Next, the main CPU 301a selects which variation pattern table to use based on the gaming state and the special symbol type among the four variation pattern tables included in the selected variation pattern table. For example, when the first variation pattern table T4 is selected above, one variation pattern table is selected from the four variation pattern tables T4A to T4D of the first variation pattern table T4. In this case, when the gaming state is the non-probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the first special symbol, the first special 1 normal time variation pattern table T4A is used. When the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the first special symbol, the first special one probability changing variation pattern table T4B is used. When the gaming state is the non-probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the second special symbol, the first special 2 normal time variation pattern table T4C is used. When the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the second special symbol, the first special 2 probability changing variation pattern table T4D is used.

  For example, when the second variation pattern table T5 is selected as described above, one variation pattern table is selected from the four variation pattern tables T5A to T5D of the second variation pattern table T5. In this case, when the gaming state is the non-probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the first special symbol, the second special 1 normal time variation pattern table T5A is used. When the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the first special symbol, the second special 1 probability changing variation pattern table T5B is used. When the gaming state is the non-probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the second special symbol, the second special 2 normal time variation pattern table T5C is used. When the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state and the type of the hold information is the second special symbol, the second special 2 probability changing variation pattern table T5D is used.

  Next, the main CPU 301a executes the variation pattern determination based on the result of the jackpot symbol determination, the reach determination result, the variation pattern random number included in the shifted hold information, and the selected variation pattern table, and the variation pattern To decide. In this case, for example, when the specific symbol is determined as a result of the jackpot symbol determination, the variation pattern corresponding to the effect content of the specific symbol is selected from the variation patterns in the selected variation pattern table. As a result of reach determination, when it is determined that reach is to be performed, the variation pattern in the selected variation pattern table is selected from the variation patterns corresponding to the contents of the effect for which reach is performed. When the main CPU 301a determines the variation pattern, the main CPU 301a sets a variation start command including the determined variation pattern.

[Special symbol stop processing]
The main CPU 301a executes a special symbol stop process. Specifically, after the variation pattern setting process, the main CPU 301a causes the first special symbol display unit 120 or the second special symbol display unit 122 to display the special symbol in a variable manner, and based on the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination. When time elapses, the changing special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the determination result of the jackpot symbol determination is notified by the special symbol that is stopped and displayed. In this case, the main CPU 301a sets a symbol determination command.

  Further, in the special symbol stop process, the main CPU 301a determines whether to turn on the jackpot game flag based on the determination result of the jackpot symbol determination after stopping and displaying the changing special symbol. In such a case, a process for turning on the jackpot game flag is executed.

  In this special symbol process, the main CPU 301a determines that when the short-time variation flag and the probability variation game flag are ON and the number of short-term fluctuations reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times), the short-time game flag and the certain variation game flag. The process of turning off is also executed.

[Normal pattern processing]
The main CPU 301a performs normal symbol processing. The normal symbol process includes a normal symbol determination process, an operation pattern setting process, and an opening / closing member control process. Each process of the normal symbol process will be described below.

[Normal symbol judgment processing]
The main CPU 301a executes a normal symbol determination process. Specifically, when there is normal symbol hold information, the main CPU 301a performs normal symbol determination based on the normal symbol random number and the normal symbol determination table T6 included in the hold information.

[Operation pattern setting process]
The main CPU 301a performs an operation pattern setting process of the movable piece 115b when it is determined that the normal symbol determination is successful. Specifically, when the main CPU 301a is in the non-short game state, the main CPU 301a sets an operation pattern in which the release for 0.1 second is performed twice (the total release control time is 0.2 seconds), and is in the short-time game state. Sets an operation pattern in which 0.5 seconds of opening is performed five times (total opening control time is 2.5 seconds). The main CPU 301a does not set the operation pattern when the result of the normal symbol determination is a loss.

[Open / close design control processing]
The main CPU 301a executes an opening / closing member control process. Specifically, after executing the normal symbol determination, the main CPU 301a causes the normal symbol display 118 to display the normal symbol in a variable manner, and stops and displays the normal symbol indicating the determination result of the normal symbol determination. In this case, the variable number of seconds of the normal symbol is set to 12 seconds in the non-short game state, and is set to 3 seconds in the short time game state. The main CPU 301a controls the opening and closing of the movable piece 115b based on the operation pattern if the operation pattern is set in the operation pattern setting process after the normal symbol is stopped and displayed.

[Large winning device opening control processing]
Subsequently, the main CPU 301a performs a special winning device opening control process. This special winning device opening control process includes an opening pattern setting process and a game state setting process.

[Open pattern setting process]
When the jackpot game flag is ON, the main CPU 301a performs an opening pattern setting process for setting the opening pattern of the big winning device 117 based on the result of the jackpot symbol determination during the opening effect. When the opening effect ends, the main CPU 301a performs opening / closing control of the special winning device 117 based on the set opening pattern to realize a round game.

[Game state setting process]
In addition, when the ending effect ends, the main CPU 301a executes a process for turning off the jackpot game flag, a process for turning on the time-short game flag, and a process for turning on the probability variable game flag, and sets the number of time-changes to a predetermined number (for example, , 100 times) is performed.

[Payout process]
Subsequently, the main CPU 301a executes a payout process. This payout process is a process for controlling the payout of prize balls according to the winning of game balls.
[Command transmission processing]
Next, the main CPU 301a executes command transmission processing. In this command transmission process, various commands set (stored) in the main RAM 301c in the above process and information necessary for determining the contents of the effects are transmitted to the effect control board 320.

[Electrical Configuration of Production Control Board 320]
FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing details of the effect control board 320. The effect control board 320 determines an effect pattern based on a command (including a variation pattern or the like) transmitted from the main control board 300, and sends an effect pattern designation command based on the effect pattern to the image control board 330 and the lamp control board 340.

With this configuration, the image control board 330 and the lamp control board 340 execute the display effect, the sound effect, the lighting effect, and the accessory movable effect based on the effect pattern designation command transmitted from the effect control board 320. Is possible.

As shown in FIG. 10, the sub ROM 320b stores a basic display effect designation table TS1, a decorative symbol determination table TS2, and a chance up determination table TS3.
Based on the variation pattern transmitted from the main control board 300, the basic display effect designation table TS1 is based on the above-described normal lose effect, normal reach (losing or winning) effect, SP reach (lost or winning) effect, SPSP reach (lost or missing). Any of the winning effects 1, the SPSP reach (losing or winning) effects 2, and the SPSP reach revival (winning) effects is a basic effect in the display effects (hereinafter also referred to as a basic display effect). It is a table to specify as. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern transmitted from the main control board 300 and the basic display effect correspond one-to-one.

  A plurality of basic display effects may be associated with the variation pattern, and the sub CPU 320a of the effect control board 320 may select the basic display effects by lottery. In this way, the contents of the effect can be changed even with the same variation pattern. Further, one basic display effect may be associated with a plurality of variation patterns.

  The decorative symbol determination table TS2 is a table for determining a combination of decorative symbols for temporary stop display or fixed stop display in a display effect based on the effect pattern, and a reach symbol when the reach is executed.

  The chance-up determination table TS3 is a table for determining a predetermined chance-up effect in the display effect. Here, the chance-up effect is an effect for executing a display effect in a mode different from the normal effect and increasing the expectation of jackpot as compared with the normal effect.

As shown in FIG. 10, the sub RAM 320 c is provided with a holding storage area 320 c 1, an acquired appearance equivalent information storage area 320 c 2, and a prior determination information storage area 320 c 3.
The reserved storage area 320c1 includes a first reserved area corresponding to the first special symbol, a second reserved area, a third reserved area, a fourth reserved area, a first reserved area corresponding to the second special symbol, a second reserved area, The area is divided into eight areas, ie, a reserved area, a third reserved area, and a fourth reserved area, and one reserved flag can be stored in each area. In the reserved area corresponding to the first special symbol in the reserved storage area 320c1, the priority order of storing the reserved flag is that the first reserved area is the highest priority for storage, and the reserved flag is stored in the first reserved area. Next, the second reserved area is selected as a storage target with priority, the third reserved area is selected as a storage target with priority, and finally the fourth reserved area is selected as a storage target. The same applies to the reserved area corresponding to the second special symbol. When the production control board 320 receives the hold command from the main control board 300, the hold area in which the hold flag is stored is specified in the hold storage area 320c1, and the hold area to be preferentially stored next to the hold area The hold flag is stored in. However, when a hold command is received in a state where the hold flag is stored in the fourth hold area, the hold flag is not stored.

  Further, the priority order of erasure of the hold flag is the reverse of the priority order in the case of storing, that is, the fourth hold area is the erasure target with the highest priority and the hold flag is not stored in the fourth hold area. Then, the third reserved area is preferentially selected as an erase target, the second reserved area is preferentially selected as an erase target, and finally the first reserved area is selected as an erase target. When the effect control board 320 receives the symbol confirmation command from the main control board 300, the holding area in which the holding flag is stored is specified in the holding memory area 320c1, and the holding flag of the holding area to be preferentially deleted is deleted. . If the hold flag is not stored in the first hold area, the erasure process is not performed.

  The earned ball equivalent information storage area 320c2 is an area for storing earned ball equivalent information represented by the earned ball equivalent information command transmitted from the main control board 300. This earned ball equivalent information is overwritten and saved every time an earned ball equivalent information command is transmitted.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a prior determination information storage area 320c3 provided in the sub RAM 320c. The pre-determination information storage area 320c3 is a storage area for storing pre-determination information (pre-determination special symbol, pre-determination variation pattern, and acquisition hold order information), corresponding to the type of special symbol, respectively. Four storage areas (a first storage area, a second storage area, a third storage area, and a fourth storage area) are provided. Each storage area also includes a jackpot determination information field for storing jackpot determination information based on a special symbol for preliminary determination, a jackpot symbol information column for storing jackpot symbol information based on a preliminary determination symbol, and a variation for preliminary determination. Fluctuation pattern information field for storing variation pattern information based on patterns, on-holding order information field for storing on-holding order information at the time of acquisition, and continuous production presence / absence information for storing presence / absence information of continuous production indicating the presence / absence of continuous production activation And a column are provided. Although details will be described later, the continuous production presence / absence information includes continuous production activation information and continuous production activation information.

  The hold command (FIG. 9: S1005) transmitted from the main control board 300 includes pre-determination information (pre-determination special symbol, pre-determination variation pattern, and acquisition hold order information). The advance determination information storage area 320c3 stores these advance determination information in association with each other. In the storage area for the first special symbol, the priority order for storing the pre-determination information is that the first storage area is the highest priority for storage, and the pre-determination information is stored in the first storage area. The second storage area is prioritized as a storage target, the third storage area is prioritized as a storage target, and finally the fourth storage area is selected as a storage target. The same applies to the storage area for the second special symbol. For example, in a state in which the advance determination information has already been stored in the third storage area of the first special symbol, the advance determination information of the new first special symbol (specific symbol A, variation pattern 7B, reservation on hold order information “4” ”) Is stored (see FIG. 11), information representing“ 4 ”is stored in the acquisition-holding order information column of the fourth storage area, and“ variation pattern 7B ”is stored in the variation pattern information column of the fourth storage area. Is stored in the jackpot symbol information column of the fourth storage area, and information indicating “jackpot” is stored in the jackpot determination information column of the fourth storage area.

  In FIG. 11, as the pre-determination information of the first storage area related to the first special symbol, the information “losing” in the jackpot determination information column, the information “none” in the jackpot symbol information column, and the variation pattern information column In addition, information of “variation pattern 1” is stored, and information indicating “3” is stored in the hold order information column at the time of acquisition. As pre-determination information for the second storage area, “losing” information in the jackpot determination information column, “none” information in the jackpot symbol information column, and “variation pattern 2AX” information in the variation pattern information column are acquired. Information representing “1” is stored in the hold order information column. As prior determination information for the third storage area, “losing” information is acquired in the jackpot determination information column, “none” information is stored in the jackpot symbol information column, and “variation pattern 4BX” information is acquired in the variation pattern information column. Information representing “2” is stored in the hold order information column.

  In the continuous effect presence / absence information column, continuous effect activation information indicating whether or not a continuous effect is to be executed is stored in a prefetching process described later. In FIG. 11, “○” is shown as continuous production activation information, which is information indicating the activation of continuous production, in the continuous production presence / absence information column corresponding to the fourth storage area related to the first special symbol, and other storages. In the area, “−” is shown as continuous production inactivation information that is information indicating that the continuous production is not activated.

  The sub RAM 320c also has a flag storage area (not shown) in which a predetermined flag and the like are stored. For example, a continuous execution effect flag, a pseudo-continuous effect execution flag, etc., which will be described later, are stored in this flag storage area.

[List of processes on production control board 320]
FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing a list of processes executed on the effect control board 320. When the power is supplied, the sub CPU 320a of the effect control board 320 executes the effect main process.

[Direction main processing]
The sub CPU 320a executes, as the effect main process, the power recovery effect process corresponding to the power recovery process executed on the main control board 300 or the RAM clear effect process corresponding to the RAM clear process executed on the main control board 300. To do.
Further, the sub CPU 320a repeatedly executes the effect timer interruption process at regular intervals (for example, 2 milliseconds) during the execution of the effect main process. Note that the processing performed in such an effect control board 320 is executed based on a program stored in the sub ROM 320b.

[Production timer interrupt processing]
In the effect timer interrupt process, the sub CPU 320a executes a random number update process, a command reception process, an effect button process, and a command transmission process. Hereinafter, various processes of the effect timer interruption process will be described.

[Random number update processing]
As the random number update process, the sub CPU 320a updates various random numbers (for example, decorative design determination random numbers, chance-up random numbers) used for effects. Specifically, the sub CPU 320a adds and updates “1” to various random numbers, and resets to “0” when reaching a predetermined value.

[Command reception processing]
The sub CPU 320a performs pre-read processing, production pattern determination processing, hold processing, advance determination information shift processing, general drawing production processing, symbol confirmation processing, and earned ball equivalent information storage processing as command reception processing, Perform jackpot processing. Hereinafter, various processes of the command reception process will be described.

[Prefetch process]
The pre-reading process executes a process for determining whether to perform a continuous effect based on a hold command transmitted from the main control board 300 and a process for determining whether to perform a pseudo-continuous effect. The details of this prefetch process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The continuous effect is an effect that can be executed on the main display device 131, and is an effect that can be executed during a variation start effect, which will be described later, over a plurality of variable displays in a special symbol. This continuous effect may be composed of only one type of effect, or may include a plurality of types of effects. When the continuous effect includes a plurality of effects, one effect may be selected and executed from the plurality of effects. Further, the continuous effect may be executed for a single variation display in the special symbol.

  Further, the pseudo-continuous effect may be configured with only one type of effect, or may include a plurality of types of effects. When the pseudo-continuous effect includes a plurality of types of effects, one effect may be selected and executed from the plurality of types of effects.

[Direction pattern decision processing]
The sub CPU 320a determines the effect pattern based on the basic display effect designation table TS1, the decorative symbol determination table TS2, and the chance up determination table TS3 as the effect pattern determination process. Details of the effect pattern determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

[Hold processing]
When the sub CPU 320a receives a hold command from the main control board 300 as the hold process and the hold flag is not stored in the fourth hold area in the hold storage area 320c1 provided in the sub RAM 320c, A hold flag is stored in a hold area having a high storage priority. For example, when the sub CPU 320a receives a hold command in a state where the hold flag is stored in the first to second hold areas, the sub CPU 320a stores the hold flag in the third hold area. In addition, when the production pattern is determined in the production pattern determination process (when the change start command is received), the sub CPU 320a erases one hold flag from the hold area having a high hold flag deletion priority. To do. The sub CPU 320a erases the hold flag in the fourth hold area when the production pattern is determined (when the change start command is received) in a state where the hold flag is stored in the first to fourth hold areas. .

  Further, the sub CPU 320a executes a process related to the hold display as the hold process. Specifically, a hold display command for performing a hold display on the main display device 131 is set in correspondence with the four hold areas of the hold storage area 320c1. For example, in the state where the hold flag is stored in the first to third hold areas in the hold storage area 320c1, the hold display command indicating that there are three holds on the main display device 131 is set. This hold display command is transmitted to the image control board 330 in a command transmission process described later. When receiving the hold display command, the image control board 330 controls the main display device 131 to execute the hold display based on the hold display command.

[Advance information shift processing]
When the effect pattern is determined by the effect pattern determination process (when the change start command is received) as the shift process of the advance determination information, the sub CPU 320a is stored in the storage area of the advance determination information storage area 320c3 of the sub RAM 320c. The prior determination information shift process is executed. For example, when the pre-determination information is stored as shown in FIG. 11, when the pre-determination information is shifted, the information stored in the first storage area is deleted and stored in the second storage area. The information is shifted to the first storage area, the information stored in the third storage area is shifted to the second storage area, and the information stored in the fourth storage area is shifted to the third storage area. Therefore, the number of prior determination information (a set of jackpot determination information, jackpot symbol information, variation pattern information) stored in the first storage area to the fourth storage area corresponding to the first special symbol, and the main control board 300 The number of hold information for the first special symbol stored in the main RAM 301c (hold information storage area 301cx: see FIG. 4-2) corresponds to one to one. Similarly, the number of prior determination information (one set of jackpot determination information, jackpot symbol information, variation pattern information) stored in the first storage area to the fourth storage area corresponding to the second special symbol, and the main control board The number of hold information for the second special symbol stored in the 300 main RAM 301c (hold information storage area 301cx) corresponds to one to one. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, if pre-determination information is stored in all of the first storage area to the fourth storage area for the first special symbol, the main RAM 301c (holding information storage area 301cx) of the main control board 300 The number of hold information for the first special symbol stored in is also four.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, there is holding information in both the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and when the special symbol is stopped and the process proceeds to the next symbol variation, The special symbol determination is performed by preferentially using the hold information. Therefore, in the advance determination information storage area 320c3, when the advance determination information is stored in each of the storage areas corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the variation of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case of shifting to the fluctuating effect, the shift process of the prior determination information of the storage area corresponding to the second special symbol is executed.

[Normal design effect processing]
In the normal symbol effect process, an effect corresponding to the variation of the normal symbol is performed in a predetermined area of the main display device 131 (for example, a corner of the main display device 131) according to the determination result in the normal symbol determination. For example, “O” and “X” are alternately displayed during fluctuation of the normal symbol, and “O” is displayed if it is a win according to the determination result, and “X” is displayed if it is lost.

[Design determination processing]
The sub CPU 320a executes, as a symbol determination process, a process for confirming and stopping the decorative symbol being changed on the main display device 131 based on a symbol determination command from the main control board 300.

[Acquired Idama equivalent information storage process]
When the sub CPU 320a receives the acquired output equivalent information command from the main control board 300 as the acquired output equivalent information storage process, the acquired output equivalent information stored in the sub RAM 320c is stored in the acquired output equivalent information represented by the command. Store in area 320c2.
[Big hit processing]
As a jackpot process, the sub CPU 320a receives a predetermined command from the main control board 300, thereby performing an opening process for executing the first opening effect of the jackpot game and a round effect corresponding to the round game during the jackpot game. At the end of the round process for executing and the jackpot game, an ending process for executing the ending effect is executed.

[Direction button processing]
As the effect button process, the sub CPU 320a detects an input via the effect button 135 and the effect operation key 136, and performs a predetermined effect corresponding thereto.
[Command transmission processing]
The sub CPU 320a transmits the command set in the various processes to the image control board 330 and the lamp control board 340 as the command transmission process.

[Description of prefetch processing]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the prefetch process. Here, the above-described prefetching process will be described below.
In this prefetch process, first, the sub CPU 320a executes a hold command reception process in the process of S1305. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a hold command has been received from the main control board 300. If a hold command is received, the advance determination information included in the hold command is stored in the corresponding advance determination information storage area 320c3. Store in the area. If the hold command has not been received, the pre-reading process is terminated without executing the later-described continuous effect flag setting process and the pseudo-continuous effect flag setting process.

  Subsequently, after the hold command reception process, the sub CPU 320a executes a continuous effect flag setting process in the process of S1310. Specifically, when the continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is OFF, the sub CPU 320a determines whether or not to execute the continuous effect based on the prior determination information received in the process of S1305, in other words. Then, it is determined whether or not the continuous effect flag is turned ON. Specifically, the sub CPU 320a determines that the continuous effect flag is turned on when all of the following two conditions A and B are satisfied, and when one of the two conditions is not satisfied, the continuous effect is determined. It is determined that the flag is not turned ON.

Condition A: In the prior determination information storage area 320c3, there is no information representing a big hit in the prior determination information (big hit determination information column) stored before the previous determination information newly stored in the process of S1305. In other words, there is no big hit in the hold information in the hold information storage area 301cx before storing the prior determination information in the process of S1305.
Condition B: Winning prefetch lottery.

  As an example of the above condition A, the prior determination information is not stored in the storage area corresponding to the second special symbol, while the first to third storage areas corresponding to the first special symbol respectively Assume that the determination information is stored and the prior determination information is newly stored in the fourth storage area corresponding to the first special symbol in the process of S1305 (see FIG. 11). In this case, the condition A is satisfied if there is no information indicating a big hit in the prior determination information (big hit determination column) stored in the first storage area to the third storage area corresponding to the first special symbol.

  Further, the prefetch lottery in condition C is a lottery with the first prefetch lottery probability when the special symbol for prejudgment included in the predetermination information newly stored in the process of S1305 is a lost symbol. In this case, the lottery is set to be performed with the second look-ahead lottery probability that is higher than the first look-ahead lottery probability. Thereby, in the case of a jackpot, the probability that the prefetching effect is executed is set high. In other words, when the prefetching effect appears, the expectation of jackpot is higher than the case where the prefetching effect does not appear.

  In this embodiment, the continuous performance flag is not turned on unless all of the conditions A and B are satisfied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, if the condition B is satisfied. The continuous effect flag may be turned on.

  If it is determined that the continuous effect flag is set to ON, in the prior determination information storage area 320c3, the continuous effect activation information (“◯” in FIG. 11) is displayed in the continuous effect presence / absence information column corresponding to the storage area stored in the process of S1305. ). When it is determined that the continuous effect flag is not turned ON, in the prior determination information storage area 320c3, in the continuous effect presence / absence information column corresponding to the storage area stored in the process of S1305, continuous effect non-operation information (“−” in FIG. 11). )).

  When the continuous production activation information or the continuous production non-activation information is stored in the continuous production presence / absence information column, or when the continuous production flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is already ON, the sub CPU 320a The process proceeds to S1315.

  When the continuous production flag is turned on and the continuous production activation information “◯” is stored in the continuous production presence / absence information column of the prior determination information storage area 320c3, the main display device starts from the next special symbol variation display. In 131, a continuous effect is executed. This continuous effect can be executed until the display effect is executed based on the hold information corresponding to the advance determination information including the continuous effect activation information. In this case, it can be executed even during the display effect based on the hold information corresponding to the advance determination information including the continuous effect activation information.

  In addition, when the continuous effect flag is set to ON in the continuous effect flag setting process and the variable display corresponding to the pre-determination information used for the determination ends, the sub CPU 320a performs the above-described symbol determination process. Set the continuous performance flag to OFF.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 320a executes the pseudo continuous effect flag setting process in the process of S1315 after the continuous effect flag setting process. Specifically, when the continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is ON, the sub CPU 320a sets the pseudo continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c to OFF. When the continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is OFF, the sub CPU 320a sets the pseudo continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c to ON. Thereafter, the prefetching process is terminated, and the process returns to the command receiving process.

  Note that, in the effect pattern determination process described later, the sub CPU 320a performs the simulation by the pseudo-continuous effect flag setting process even when the acquired variation pattern is a variation pattern with a pseudo-continuous effect (for example, the variation pattern 7B). When the continuous effect flag is set to OFF (when the continuous effect flag is ON), the pseudo continuous effect is not executed.

[Description of effect pattern determination processing]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the effect pattern determination process. In this effect pattern determination process, first, the sub CPU 320a determines whether or not a variation start command has been received from the main control board 300 (S1405). If the sub CPU 320a has not received the change start command (S1405: NO), the effect pattern determination process ends, and the process returns to the command reception process.
When the sub CPU 320a receives the change start command (S1405: YES), the sub CPU 320a acquires the change pattern included in the change start command in the process of S1410.

  Next, the sub CPU 320a determines an effect pattern in the process of S1415. Specifically, the sub CPU 320a determines an effect pattern by determining a basic display effect, determining a continuous effect, determining a pseudo-continuous effect, determining a reach symbol, determining a chance up, and determining a stop symbol. To do. The details will be described below.

  First, the sub CPU 320a determines an effect corresponding to the variation pattern acquired in the process of S1410 as the basic display effect based on the basic display effect designation table TS1. For example, when the acquired variation pattern is the variation pattern 6B, the sub CPU 320a determines the SPSP reach (lost) effect 1 that is the effect corresponding to the variation pattern 6B as the basic display effect based on the basic display effect designation table TS1. .

  Next, the sub CPU 320a determines execution of the continuous effect when the continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is ON. When the continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is OFF, the sub CPU 320a determines that the continuous effect is not executed.

  Next, when the pseudo continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is ON and the variation pattern acquired in the process of S1410 corresponds to the pseudo continuous effect, the sub CPU 320a performs the pseudo continuous effect. Determine the execution. For example, the sub CPU 320a executes the pseudo continuous effect when the pseudo continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is ON and the variation pattern acquired in the process of S1410 is “variation pattern 4B”. To decide.

  On the other hand, when the pseudo continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is OFF, the sub CPU 320a displays the pseudo continuous effect regardless of whether or not the variation pattern acquired in S1410 corresponds to the pseudo continuous effect. Determine non-execution. For example, when the pseudo continuous effect flag stored in the sub RAM 320c is OFF, the sub CPU 320a displays the pseudo continuous effect even though the variation pattern acquired in the process of S1410 is “variation pattern 4B”. Determine non-execution.

  That is, when the continuous effect flag is ON, the pseudo-continuous effect flag is OFF. Therefore, when the continuous effect is executed, the pseudo-continuous effect is not executed. On the other hand, when the continuous effect flag is OFF, the pseudo continuous effect flag is ON. Therefore, if the variation pattern acquired in S1410 corresponds to the pseudo continuous effect, the pseudo continuous effect can be executed.

  Next, when the obtained variation pattern corresponds to the effect of executing the reach (reach formation effect), the sub CPU 320a determines the reach symbol based on the decorative symbol determination random number and the decorative symbol determination table TS2. . The sub CPU 320a skips this process when the acquired variation pattern does not correspond to the effect of executing the reach (reach formation effect).

Next, the sub CPU 320a determines whether or not to execute the chance up effect as described above based on the obtained variation pattern and the chance up random number.
Next, the sub CPU 320a determines the symbol arrangement of the decorative symbol to be finally stopped based on the acquired variation pattern and the decorative symbol determination random number.

  From the above, the sub CPU 320a determines the basic display effect, the presence / absence of the continuous effect execution, the presence / absence of the pseudo-continuous effect execution, the reach symbol, the presence / absence of the chance-up execution, and the symbol arrangement of the decorative symbol to be finally stopped. An effect pattern for realizing the display effect, the accessory moving effect, the sound effect, and the light emission effect is finally determined.

[First movable accessory]
As shown in FIG. 15, the first movable accessory 1511 is a plate-like member formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the first movable accessory 1511 is supported by the first arm 1602 supported by the first base member 1520 so as to be movable in the left-right direction so that the posture can be displaced, The posture also changes when moving as a whole with the second decoration form. In the first decoration form, the first movable accessory 1511 is arranged at the upper left part of the display screen region, and constitutes the upper left arm part of the star-shaped decoration in such a manner that the length extends so as to incline upward from left to right. . As shown in FIG. 19, in the second decorative form, the first movable accessory 1511 is arranged on the right side of the first decorative form and rotates counterclockwise as a whole, and is longer than the first decorative form. Constitutes the upper left part of the character decoration “A” in a posture extending vertically. The first movable accessory 1511 is configured to move in the left-right direction and to rotate at a predetermined timing during the movement. In the present embodiment, the first movable accessory 1511 is in an intermediate period between the first decoration form and the second decoration form. In contrast to the displacement, the posture is not displaced in a period close to the first decoration form and the second decoration form. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 19, the first movable accessory 1511 moves in the right direction at the initial stage when shifting from the first decorative form to the second decorative form. Without rotating, the rotation is performed from the middle until the same posture as the second decoration form, and the posture displacement is finished in the middle of the entire operation. When the first movable accessory 1511 moves from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, it moves to the left in the initial stage, but does not change its posture, and rotates from the middle until it has the same posture as the first decorative form. And the operation | movement contrary to the time of transfering from a 1st decoration form to a 2nd decoration form is performed so that a posture displacement may be completed in the middle of the whole operation | movement.

[Mechanism for operating the first movable accessory]
A mechanism for operating the first movable accessory 1511 will be described. The first arm 1602 is connected to a first rack 2006 that meshes with a first pinion 2004 that rotates by driving of a first motor 2002 provided on the first base member 1520 (see FIG. 20), and the first motor 2002. It moves in the left-right direction with the first rack 2004 that moves to the left and right by driving. The first movable accessory 1511 is rotatably supported with respect to the first arm 1602 and has elasticity (not shown) such as a tension spring provided between the first movable accessory 1511 and the first arm 1602. Thus, it is elastically biased so as to be in the posture in the first decoration form. The first movable accessory 1511 is formed with a contact receiving piece 2008 (see FIG. 20) protruding rearward, and the contact receiving piece 2008 is formed in the first arm 1530 and has a long hole-shaped first arm guide hole 2010. It fits in. As shown in FIG. 20, the contact receiving piece 2008 is disposed so as to overlap the movement path of the contact piece 2012 formed in the second movable accessory 1512 and inserted into the first arm guide hole 2010. The contact piece 2012 is made to hit at a predetermined timing between the decoration form and the second decoration form.

  When the first movable accessory 1511 shifts from the first decorative form to the second decorative form, the contact piece 2012 of the second movable accessory 1512 that moves while being guided by the first arm guide hole 2010 is the contact receiving piece 2008. When the contact receiving piece 2008 is pushed, the posture is displaced counterclockwise against the urging force of the elasticity applying means. In addition, the first movable accessory 1511 is displaced in the clockwise direction in a state where the contact piece 2012 of the second movable accessory 1512 hits the contact receiving piece 2008 during the transition from the second decorative form to the first decorative form. By doing so, the posture is displaced clockwise by the urging of the elasticity applying means while being controlled by the movement of the contact piece 2012. Here, the contact receiving piece 2008 and the contact piece 2012 of the second movable accessory 1512 do not hit the first decorative form between the first decorative form and the second decorative form in a period close to the first decorative form, and the second from the middle. It hits even the decoration form. At the time of transition from the first decorative form to the second decorative form, the first movable accessory 1511 starts posture displacement at a timing that deviates from the start of the posture displacement of the second movable accessory 1512, and the second movable accessory 1512. The posture displacement is stopped at the end of the posture displacement. At the time of transition from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, the first movable accessory 1511 starts posture displacement at a timing that coincides with the start of the posture displacement of the second movable accessory 1512, and the second movable accessory 1512. The posture displacement is stopped at a timing before the end of the posture displacement. When the first movable accessory 1511 is displaced, the second movable accessory 1512 is also displaced. In other words, when the second movable combination 1512 stops the posture displacement, the first movable combination 1511 also stops the posture displacement.

[Second movable item]

Starting from the first order, the second decoration form is formed from the first decoration form, and starting from the second order opposite to the first order, the first decoration form is formed from the second decoration form.

  In the lower movable unit, the fifth to seventh movable actors 1515 to 1517 operate between the first decoration form and the second decoration form by driving one second motor. In the lower movable unit, when the transition from the first decorative form to the second decorative form is started, the fifth to seventh movable accessories 1515 to 1517 start operating, and the fifth movable accessory 1515, the sixth movable accessory 1516, and The posture displacement of the decorative body 1517a of the seventh movable accessory 1517 is also started. In addition, during the transition from the first decorative form to the second decorative form, the posture displacement of the sixth movable accessory 1516 stops, but the fifth movable accessory 1515 and the sixth movable accessory 1516 are also in the subsequent period. The posture is displaced. In this embodiment, when moving from the first decorative form to the second decorative form, the first motor 1531 and the second motor are controlled to be driven at a predetermined timing, and the movable accessory of the lower movable unit is used. 1515 to 1517 are in the second decoration form before the movable accessories 1511 to 1514 of the upper movable unit are in the second decoration form. As described above, the movable members 1511 to 1514 of the upper movable unit and the movable members 1515 to 1517 of the lower movable unit are controlled so as to operate while slightly shifting the timing of the second decorative form.

  In the lower movable unit, when the transition from the second decorative form to the first decorative form starts, the fifth to seventh movable accessories 1515 to 1517 start to operate, and the fifth movable accessory 1515 and the seventh movable accessory 1517 Although the posture displacement of the decorative body 1517a is also started, the posture of the sixth movable accessory 1516 is not displaced. In the middle of the transition from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, the sixth movable accessory 1516 also starts to change its posture, and until the transition to the first decorative form, the fifth movable accessory 1515 and the sixth movable accessory. The ornament 1517a of the object 1516 and the seventh movable accessory 1517 is displaced in posture. In this way, the lower movable unit is configured to change the posture displacement of the fifth to seventh movable actors 1515 to 1517 in the first order associated with each movable actor 1515 to 1517 by driving one second motor. The second decoration form is formed from the first decoration form starting with, and the first decoration form is formed from the second decoration form starting with the second order opposite to the first order. In the present embodiment, when moving from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, the first motor 1531 and the second motor are controlled to be driven at a predetermined timing, and the movable accessory of the lower movable unit. Before the operations 1515 to 1517 are started, the operations of the movable accessories 1511 to 1514 of the upper movable unit are started. As described above, the movable combination 1511 to 1514 of the upper movable unit and the movable combination 1515 to 1517 of the lower movable unit are controlled so as to slightly shift the operation start timing from the second decoration form to the first decoration form. Is done.

  As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the deformable character unit 154 is configured so that each movable accessory can be used when the first to seventh movable accessories 1511 to 1517 are operated to be transformed from the first decorative form to the second decorative form. The operations 1511 to 1517 are started before a part of the second decoration form is completed. After any one of the movable accessories 1511 to 1517 has moved to the position where the second decorative form is reached, the other movable accessories 1511 to 1517 do not start operation, and the first to seventh movable accessories 1511 to 1517 are not started. Since the operation period is overlapped with each other, as described above, since the operation is performed so as to form the second decoration form from the first decoration form in the first order associated with each movable accessory 1511 to 1517, Mutual interference can be prevented. Similarly, since it operate | moves so that a 1st decoration form may be formed from a 2nd decoration form in the 2nd order opposite to a 1st order matched with each movable accessory 1511-1517, mutual interference is carried out. Can be prevented.

  Upon transition between the first decoration form and the second decoration form, the plurality of movable actors 1511 to 1517 move so that adjacent ones do not interfere with each other. Specifically, for the first movable accessory 1511 and the second movable accessory 1512 that are adjacent in the first and second decorative forms, the first movable accessory 1511 and the second movable accessory 1512 move in the left-right direction. However, since the second movable accessory 1512 is displaced around the first movable accessory 1511 whose posture is not displaced, mutual interference can be prevented. Further, when the first movable accessory 1511 is displaced in posture, the first movable accessory 1511 and the second movable accessory 1512 are displaced in synchronization with each other, so that mutual interference can be prevented. Since the first movable accessory 1511 and the second movable accessory 1512 move to the right after stopping the posture displacement at the timing before the second decorative form, the first movable accessory 1511 and the second movable accessory 1512 are viewed from above so as to become the second decorative form. It is possible to prevent interference with the third movable accessory 1513 that moves and the fifth movable accessory 1515 that moves from below. Here, since the fifth movable accessory 1515 is stopped in the second decorative form before the second movable accessory 1512 is in the second decorative form, the second movable accessory 1515 is adjacent in the second decorative form. Interference between the accessory 1512 and the fifth movable accessory 1515 can be prevented. Similarly, since the seventh movable accessory 1517 is stopped in the second decorative form before the fourth movable accessory 1514 is in the second decorative form, the fourth movable accessory 1517 is adjacent in the second decorative form. Interference between the accessory 1514 and the seventh movable accessory 1517 can be prevented.

  The third movable accessory 1513 and the fourth movable accessory 1514 adjacent to each other in the first decoration form are the fourth movable accessory 1514 positioned in the operation direction toward the second decoration form of the third movable accessory 1513 first. Since the third movable accessory 1513 operates after the operation is started, it is possible to prevent mutual interference. Further, the third movable accessory 1513 and the fourth movable accessory 1514 that are adjacent to each other in the second decoration form are the third movable accessory 1513 located in the operation direction of the fourth movable accessory 1514 toward the first decoration form. Since the operation starts first and then the fourth movable accessory 1514 operates, interference can be prevented. And since the 3rd movable combination 1513 stops in the 1st decoration form, before the 4th movable combination 1514 becomes the 1st decoration form, the 3rd movable combination adjacent in the 1st decoration form Interference between the object 1513 and the fourth movable accessory 1514 can be prevented. Here, since the third movable accessory 1513 and the fourth movable accessory 1514 are mechanically linked by the above-described upper drive mechanism, they do not collide with each other, unlike the configuration in which each is operated by a motor.

  The first movable accessory 1511 and the second movable accessory 1512 move to the left without being displaced when the transition from the second decorative form to the first decorative form is started, so that they are adjacent in the second decorative form. Interference with the matching third movable accessory 1513 and fifth movable accessory 1515 can be prevented. In addition, when the third movable accessory 1513 starts to shift from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, the third movable accessory 1513 moves upward away from the first movable accessory 1511 that is adjacent in the second decorative form. Therefore, interference with the first movable accessory 1511 can be avoided. Here, the fifth movable accessory 1515 stops in the second decorative form when the second movable accessory 1512 starts to move from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, and the second movable accessory 1512. Since the operation starts at a timing delayed from the operation, the interference between the second movable accessory 1512 and the fifth movable accessory 1515 adjacent in the second decoration form can be prevented. Similarly, the seventh movable accessory 1517 stops in the second decorative form when the fourth movable accessory 1514 starts to move from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, and the fourth movable accessory 1514. Since the operation starts at a timing delayed from the operation, the interference between the fourth movable accessory 1514 and the seventh movable accessory 1517 adjacent in the second decorative form can be prevented. In addition, when shifting from the second decorative form to the first decorative form, the sixth movable accessory 1516 and the seventh movable accessory 1517 that are adjacent in the second decorative form are separated from each other so as to be separated from each other. Interference can be avoided. As described above, the plurality of movable actors 1511 to 1517 shift the operation timing, stop both or one of the posture displacements at timings close to each other, or move the posture of one of the movable actors as a reference. Thus, adjacent elements do not interfere with each other when operating in the first decoration form and the second decoration form.

[Directing with moving parts]
As illustrated in FIG. 15B, the deformed character unit 154 can execute a roaring effect that causes the plurality of movable actors 1511 to 1517 to move from the first decorative form to a position that does not become the second decorative form. In the turning effect, an operation of moving the movable accessories 1511 to 1517 from the first decoration form to the second decoration form and then returning to the first decoration form is performed, and this operation is executed once or a plurality of times. The roaring effect is a large reciprocating motion in which the movable actors 1511 to 1517 move to the front side of the display screen area even if the player can confirm the movements of the movable actors 1511 to 1517. Also good. The deformed character unit 154 can perform a moving effect by synchronizing or independently of the movable members 1511 to 1514 of the upper movable unit and the movable members 1515 to 1517 of the lower movable unit. When the movable character objects 1511 to 1517 are not operated from the first decorative form to the second decorative form, the deformed character unit 154 has a different timing from the case where the movable character objects 1511 to 1517 are operated from the first decorative form to the second decorative form. The operation 1517 can be started. When shifting from the first decorative form to the second decorative form, the lower movable unit starts to operate first, and then the upper movable unit starts to operate, whereas the first decorative form to the second decorative form. For example, in the case of turning effect, the upper movable unit and the lower movable unit start to operate at the same timing. By doing in this way, a change can be provided in the production of the movable actors 1511 to 1517, and the player can be more attracted to the operation of the movable actors 1511 to 1517.
