The jackpot random number value (numerical data) in the jackpot random number counter is incremented by 1 every main random number update process to be described later, starting from “0” when the gaming machine is turned on, and then reaches “629”. The above addition is repeated again. The jackpot random number value is acquired due to the fact that a winning at the starting winning opening 42 is detected by the starting winning opening detecting switch. If the acquired jackpot random number value (acquired numerical data) is compared with a preset hit value, it becomes a jackpot (win), and if it does not match, it is lost.

  In the present embodiment, in the low probability state, two of “3” and “397” are set as the winning value, and if the acquired jackpot random number value matches either of these, the result of the determination is a jackpot (that is, The jackpot probability in the low probability state is 2/630). On the other hand, at the time of probability change, “3”, “33”, “53”, “59”, “113”, “173”, “227”, “281”, “337”, “397”, “449”, “ Twelve of 503 ′ are set as winning values, and if the acquired jackpot random number value matches any of these, the result of the determination is a jackpot (that is, the jackpot probability at the time of probability change is 12/630). In this way, the determination unit (the CPU of the main control board 200) determines whether or not the lottery based on the random number acquisition resulting from the establishment of the determination condition of winning the game ball to the start winning opening 42 is a big hit.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the internal lottery (the lottery with the jackpot symbol random number counter. Details will be described later), the game will be a normal jackpot that is a game in a low probability state even after the jackpot, and a game in a promiscuous state after the jackpot. It is distributed to a probable jackpot. In the case of a normal jackpot, among the special symbols (“0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11”), even symbols (“0, 2, 4, 6, 8”) , 10 '') are displayed on the display unit 11 in a stopped manner. In the case of a probable big hit, out of special symbols (“0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11”), odd symbols (“1, 3, 5, 7, 9”) , 11 '') are arranged on the display unit 11 in a stopped manner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Of the variation patterns, a hold notice effect pattern described later includes, as an example, a first effect pattern having the shortest effect time (for example, the effect time T1 is about 30 seconds) and the effect time of the first effect pattern. The second effect pattern is longer (for example, the production time T2 is about 40 seconds) and the third production time is longer than the second production pattern (for example, the production time T3 is about 50 seconds). There are a pattern and a fourth effect pattern whose effect time is longer than that of the third effect pattern (for example, the effect time T4 is about 60 seconds), and is determined by the effect mode random number counter.

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

  Further, when the on-hold notice effect pattern is selected as the variation pattern, the main control board 200 receives each jackpot obtained due to winning at the start winning opening 42 stored in the on-hold storage means (RAM). Among the random number values, a prefetch determination is performed to determine whether there is a big hit random number value that is a big hit, that is, a big hit random number value that matches the winning value. When it is determined that a jackpot random number value that is a big hit is stored, the position information (display order) of the hold icon corresponding to the hold storage that is a big hit is acquired. Then, a variation command (holding notice effect command) including the “display order of the big hit hold icon (holding information that becomes a big hit)” and the hold notice effect pattern is output to the sub-control board 205.

  On the other hand, if the hold notice effect pattern is selected as the variation pattern, but it is determined that the jackpot random number value that is a big hit is not stored, the display order of the hold icons for executing the hold notice effect pattern is taken as an example, “ Second "is set. Then, the sub-control board displays a change command (holding notice effect command) including the “holding notice effect pattern execution order (for example,“ second position ”)” and the hold notice effect pattern. It is output to 205. However, at this time, it is configured not to execute unless the number of reserved balls is two or more. It should be noted that the display order of the hold icon to be removed is not limited to “second”, but “first”, “third”, etc. may be determined according to the number of held balls at that time.

  Here, the production mode random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on, and is incremented by 1 for each main random number update process to be described later, and when it reaches “99”, it is then rewritten to “0” and again described above. The addition is repeated. In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, in the case of a big hit, when “0” to “19” are acquired as the effect mode random value counted by the effect mode random number counter, the “first effect pattern” is displayed. When the hold notice effect pattern is selected and “20” to “44” are acquired, the hold notice effect pattern of “second effect pattern” is selected, “45” to “99” are acquired, and normal In the case of a big hit, the reserved notice effect pattern of “third effect pattern” is selected, and “45” to “99” are acquired, and in the case of a promising big hit, the reserved notice effect pattern of “fourth effect pattern” is selected. Is done.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, when “0” to “79” are acquired as the effect mode random value counted by the effect mode random number counter when it is off, the “first effect pattern” When “80” to “99” are acquired, the hold notice effect pattern “second effect pattern” is selected.

  Each variation pattern is set with a variation time for variably displaying a special symbol (identification symbol) and an effect mode described later in a predetermined pattern, and the variation time is set when the variation display of the special symbol on the display unit 11 is started. The

  For each of the numerical data such as the jackpot random number value, jackpot symbol random number value, reach random number value, variation pattern random number value, etc., a maximum of four each, and the special symbol variation pending number in the corresponding area in the RAM of the main control board 200 Stored in correspondence and used sequentially.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Examples of the random number counter provided in the sub control board (sub control device) 205 include a production random number counter. The effect random number counter has an effect random number value of “0” to “99”, and is used when determining the effect mode of a predetermined effect to be executed based on the variation command transmitted from the main control board 200. . The effect random number counter starts from “0” when the power is turned on and is incremented by “1” every time a random number update process is performed in the control of the sub-control board 205 described later, and when it reaches “99”, it is rewritten to “0”. The above addition is repeated again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the interrupt prohibition process (S20), even if an interrupt process (S100) is entered every 4 msec, the interrupt is prohibited until the interrupt is permitted. In the next main random number update process (S30), various random numbers are incremented by one for each main random number update process (S30). Is done. The updated random number is stored in the RAM of the main control board 200. In the interrupt permission process (S40), the interrupt process (S100) that enters every 4 msec is permitted.

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

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

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

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

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

  In the case of a low probability state that is not a probabilistic state, the above obtained normal symbol random value is compared with the established value per normal symbol in the low probability state to check whether they match. If it is per symbol and does not match, it is determined that the symbol is normally out (S150-5). The normal operation process (S150) ends when the normal symbol is out, while the normal opening / closing member 42A, 42B is opened at the opening time of 1 second and the number of times of opening once when the normal symbol is hit. The release process 1 is performed (S150-6), and then the normal operation process (S150) is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the probability variation state (high probability state) is determined in S150-4, the acquired normal symbol random number value is compared with the established numerical value per ordinary symbol in the probability variation state, and it is confirmed whether or not both match. If it does, it will be per normal symbol in the probability variation state. The normal operation process (S150) ends when the normal symbol is off. On the other hand, when the normal symbol hits, the open / close member 42A, 42B is opened for 2 seconds and opened three times. The release process 2 is performed (S150-8), and then the normal operation process (S150) ends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Subsequently, special symbol variation pattern creation processing (S160-4-7) is performed. In the special symbol variation pattern creation process (S160-4-7), as shown in FIG. 12, it is confirmed whether the gaming state is in the normal state (low probability state) or the probability variation state (high probability state) (S160-4). -7-1). In the normal state, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag is ON (whether or not the determination result is big hit) (S160-4-7-2). If the big hit flag is ON, the RAM (holding) of the main control board 200 is held. The variation pattern random value stored in the memory in the first reading order is loaded, and the variation pattern that matches the variation pattern random value in the hit table in the normal state is selected (S160-4-7-3). ).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the command monitoring process (S505), a command (control signal) received from the main control board 200 is analyzed, and a process corresponding to the command is performed. As shown in FIG. 22, in the command monitoring process (S505), it is first determined whether or not a command (control signal) has been received from the main control board 200 (S505-1). When no command is received from the main control board 200, the command monitoring process (S505) ends.

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

  On the other hand, if the received command is a customer waiting command in S505-3, customer waiting command processing is performed (S505-5), and the command monitoring processing (S505) ends. The customer waiting command process (S505-5) includes, for example, a process of controlling the voice control board 220 so that the volume of the music fades out if the music is in the music. In the customer waiting command process (S505-5), the special symbol and the normal symbol are stopped when there is no hold for determining whether or not the jackpot and the normal symbol are hit in the main process (when the hold is completely consumed). After that, the command is transmitted from the main control board 200.

  In S505-2, if the received command is a change command, it is determined whether or not the command is a hold notice effect command including a hold notice effect pattern (S505-6). This hold notice effect pattern is a hold notice effect among the hold icons 83A to 83D displayed on the display unit 11 as the number of balls to be held between the start of the change of the special symbol and the stop of the change or the temporary change. The color of the target hold icon corresponding to the “display order” included in the command (corresponding to “hold position” in the present application) is stepped to any one of white, blue, green, red, and rainbow colors Or by changing the color of the simulated icon 82 representing the reliability that becomes a big hit during the change step by step to any one of white, blue, green, red, and rainbow colors. It is a production pattern that warns of the possibility of becoming.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 32, white, blue, green, red, and the like, the target hold icon, the simulated icon 82, and the suggestion icon described later (corresponding to “suggestion display” in the present application) 86 (see FIG. 35). The rainbow-colored display mode means that the reliability of the big hit is high in the order of these colors. Specifically, white is a normal display mode. The blue display mode suggests that there is a high possibility of becoming “more than reach”. The green display mode suggests that there is a high possibility of being “super reach or higher”. The red display mode suggests that if the jackpot is large, there is a high possibility that it will become “normal jackpot” or more. The rainbow-colored display mode suggests that there is a high possibility that the jackpot will be a “probable jackpot”.

  If the received change command is not a hold notice effect command including a hold notice effect pattern, that is, a normal change command including a normal change pattern, normal change command processing is performed (S505-7). ), The command monitoring process (S505) ends. On the other hand, in the case of the hold notice effect command in which the received change command includes the hold notice effect pattern, the hold notice effect command process whose details are shown in FIGS. 23 to 31 is performed (S505-8). The monitoring process (S505) ends.

  The normal fluctuation command process (S505-7) and the hold notice effect command process (S505-8) are more specific based on the fluctuation pattern set in the special symbol fluctuation pattern creation process (S160-4-7). This is a process of selecting and executing a typical effect (a so-called super reach effect using the display device 10), determining an effect mode (effect pattern) using the effect random number counter, etc. This is a process for notifying the grant of probability change jackpot or the like, or a miss.

  After the command monitoring process (S505) including the normal variation command process (S505-7) and the hold notice effect command process (S505-8), ramp data to be output is generated in the ramp process (S506). Thereafter, in the switch process (S507), the switch valid time is managed and the operation is set. Also, processing based on the data stored in the switch status acquisition processing is performed. Subsequently, in the command transmission process (S508), if there is a transmission command, the command is transmitted. As a result, the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500) ends. Note that other processing may be included in the 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S500) in accordance with the function of the gaming machine 1 or the like.

  Next, the hold notice effect command process (S505-8) when the hold notice effect pattern is executed will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the hold notice effect command processing (S505-8), as shown in FIG. 23, first, the received change command includes a change including “display order of hold icon to be a big hit (holding information to be a big hit)”. It is determined whether the command (holding notice effect command) or not (whether it is a prefetch big hit) (S505-8-1). Then, if it is determined that the command is a variable command including the display order of the hold icon that makes a big hit (holding information that makes a big hit) (S505-8-1), the hold notice effect included in the variable command It is determined whether or not the pattern is a “first effect pattern” (S505-8-2).

  If it is determined that the pending notice effect pattern included in the change command is the “first effect pattern” (S505-8-2), the upper part of FIGS. 24 and 33 and FIGS. The “holding notice effect display” of the “first effect pattern” showing the details, that is, the hit prefetch notice effect display of the “first effect pattern” is executed. As shown in FIG. 24, first, a timing chart of “first effect pattern” (see the upper part of FIG. 33) is read from the ROM, and corresponds to a suggestion icon (“suggestion display” in the present application) from the start of the notice effect. ) Timing TA1 (second) for setting 86 to blue, start timing TS1 (second) for reach production, and variation end timing T1 (second) are stored in the RAM (S505-8-2-1). (The display of the suggestion icon (suggestion display) 86 corresponding to the reliability corresponds to the “suggestion display means” of the present application.)

  Subsequently, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10 and correspond to the number of held balls among the held icons 83A to 83D imitating the shape of the ball. The number of hold icons is displayed in white at the bottom center of the display unit 11. In addition, a simulated icon 82 simulating the shape of a ball representing the reliability of the big hit that is currently changing is displayed in white at the lower left corner of the display unit 11 (FIG. 35 (1)) (S505-8-2). -2).

  In addition, among the hold icons 83A to 83D displayed on the display unit 11, the corresponding hold icons (holding storage information) based on “display order of the holding icons that become big hits (holding information that becomes big wins)” It is internally set as “target hold icon (target hold)” for changing the color (corresponding to “hold position selection means” in the present application) (S505-8-2-2). For example, as shown in FIG. 35 (1), when “display order of hold icon to be a jackpot (holding information to be a jackpot)” included in the hold notice effect command is set to “second”. The hold icon 83B displayed second from the left is set to “target hold icon (target hold)” and stored in the RAM (S505-8-2-2). Note that the star indicated by a dotted line is an explanatory mark indicating the “target hold icon (target hold)” and is not displayed on the display unit 11.

  Then, a time progress indicator 85 with a thick square frame is displayed on the upper right of the display unit 11, and a character of “waiting” indicating that it is in a standby state is displayed on this time progress indicator 85 (FIG. 35). (1)) (S505-8-2-3). In addition, a suggestion icon 86 simulating the shape of a ball that suggests the degree of expectation for jackpot is stopped and displayed in white, which is a normal display state, at the center of the upper end of the time-lapse display 85 (FIG. 35 (1)). ) (S505-8-2-3).

  Thereafter, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C of the off symbol are largely stopped at the central portion of the display unit 11 to notify that the normal off is given (FIG. 35 (2)). (S505-8-2-4). In addition, a time lapse indicator 85 in a state where the characters “standby” are displayed on the upper right of the display unit 11 is displayed, and a white suggestion icon 86 is stopped and displayed at the upper center of the time lapse indicator 85. The maintained state is maintained (FIG. 35 (2)) (S505-8-2-4).

  Subsequently, the hold icon 83A displayed at the left end among the hold icons 83A to 83D is set to “target hold icon (target hold)” at the start of the next fluctuation of the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C. It is determined whether or not (S505-8-2-5). That is, it is determined whether or not the pre-reading notice effect is performed when the next left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C change.

  At the start of the next fluctuation of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C, the hold icon 83A displayed at the left end among the hold icons 83A to 83D is set to “target hold icon (target hold)” If it is determined that there is not (S505-8-2-5), the hold icons 83B to 83D displayed on the display unit 11 are moved and displayed to the left, and set to new hold icons 83A to 83C. After that, the processes after S505-8-2-2 are executed again.

  On the other hand, at the start of the next fluctuation of the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C, the hold icon 83A displayed at the left end among the hold icons 83A to 83D is set to “target hold icon (target hold)”. If it is determined (S505-8-2-5), the hold icons 83B to 83D displayed on the display unit 11 are moved to the left and set to new hold icons 83A to 83C. (FIG. 35 (3)). Then, after the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10, a time set in advance in the time lapse display 85, for example, “10:00” (seconds). Is set and displayed in the time display column (the time display in the time display column corresponds to the “time elapsed display means” of the present application), and the pre-reading notice effect is started (FIG. 35 (3)) (S505). -8-2-6). This time is stored in advance in the ROM in association with the first effect pattern.

  Subsequently, subtraction display of the time displayed on the time elapsed display 85 is started, and time measurement is started (S505-8-2-7). At the same time, a reciprocating display in which the white suggestion icon 86 reciprocally rolls across the left and right widths on the time progress indicator 85 is started, and a pre-reading notice effect is started (S505-8-2-8). Then, the timing TA1 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 to blue, for example, “06: 00” (seconds) is read from the RAM, and the time displayed on the time lapse display 85 by subtraction is displayed on the suggestion icon 86. It waits until it reaches the timing TA1 (seconds) for setting blue, for example, “06: 0” (seconds) (S505-8-2-9).

  Then, when the time subtracted and displayed on the time lapse display 85 reaches a timing TA1 (second) for setting the suggestion icon 86 to blue, for example, “06: 0” (second) (S505-8-). 2-9) When the suggestion icon 86 moves to the right end position of the time-lapse indicator 85, the color of the suggestion icon 86 is changed from white to blue (FIG. 36 (4)) (S505-8-). 2-10). Thereafter, a reciprocating display in which the blue suggestion icon 86 reciprocally rolls over the left and right full width on the time passage display 85 is started (S505-8-2-10). Thereby, it is suggested to the player that a game exceeding reach is executed. That is, the color of the suggestion icon 86 can be changed before the time displayed by subtraction display on the time lapse display 85 reaches “00:00”. (Changing the display mode of the suggestion icon (suggestion display) 86 corresponds to the “first display control means” of the present application.)

  Subsequently, the blue suggestion icon 86 is displayed in a reciprocating manner over the entire left and right width on the time passage display 85 until the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (S505-). 8-2-11). When the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (seconds) (S505-8-2-11), the blue suggestion icon 86 is displayed on the time progress display 85. Is moved and displayed so as to fly toward the hold icon 83A set in the “target hold icon (target hold)” and applied to the hold icon 83A.

  Then, after the blue suggestion icon 86 hits the hold icon 83A, it is deleted (disappears) and the hold icon 83A is set from white to blue (“second display control means”, “reliability display” of the present application). It is suggested to the player that the next left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C are likely to reach more than reach (FIG. 36 (5)). -(6)) (S505-8-2-12). That is, the hold icon 83A is “reliability display”. Thereafter, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C of the off symbol are largely stopped at the central portion of the display unit 11 to notify that the normal off is given (FIG. 37 (7)). (S505-8-2-13).

  Subsequently, the blue hold icon 83A is deleted (when it is moved and the change of the hold is started), and the hold icons 83B to 83D displayed on the display unit 11 are moved and displayed to the left side and newly displayed. Thereafter, the simulated icon 82 is set from white to blue (FIG. 37 (8)) (S505-8-2-14). Further, the time lapse display 85 is deleted (disappears) from the display unit 11 (FIG. 37 (8)) (S505-8-2-14).

  When the start timing TS1 (seconds) of the reach effect is read from the RAM and the start timing TS1 (seconds) of the reach effect elapses after the start of the pre-reading notice effect, the display unit 11 of the display device 10 is displayed. The left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C start to change (FIG. 37 (8)) (S505-8-2-15). Thereby, it is suggested to the player that the current fluctuation display of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C is likely to be more than reach (FIG. 37 (8)).

  And the fluctuation | variation of left, center, and right special symbol 81A-81C is largely displayed on the center part of the display part 11 of the display apparatus 10, and left special symbol 81A and right special symbol are among the left, middle, right special symbols 81A-81C. The symbol 81C stops at the winning symbol (for example, “7”), and the reach variation state in which only the middle special symbol 81B varies (FIG. 37 (9)) (S505-8-2-16). .

  Subsequently, the variation end timing T1 (seconds) is read from the RAM, and the variation end timing T1 (seconds) is awaited after the prefetch notice effect is started. That is, it waits until the display time of the reach fluctuation state elapses (S505-8-2-17). Then, when the variation end timing T1 (seconds) has elapsed since the start of the pre-reading notice effect, that is, when the display time of the reach variation state has elapsed, the left, middle and right specials are displayed in the center of the display unit 11. The symbols 81A to 81C are suspended and fluctuated at “7, 7, 7” and the like, and it is notified that the jackpot is confirmed (FIG. 38 (10A)) (S505-8-2-18), The hold notice effect command process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S505-8-2 that the hold notice effect pattern included in the change command is not the “first effect pattern” (S505-8-2), the hold notice included in the change command. It is determined whether or not the effect pattern is a “second effect pattern” (S505-8-3).

  When it is determined that the pending notice effect pattern included in the change command is the “second effect pattern” (S505-8-3), the lower part of FIGS. 25 and 33, and FIGS. 36 (4) and FIG. 39 to FIG. 41, the “second effect pattern” hit pending notice effect display, that is, the “second effect pattern” hit look-ahead notice effect display is executed. As shown in FIG. 25, first, the timing chart (see the lower part of FIG. 33) of the “second effect pattern” is read from the ROM, and the timing TA1 (seconds) when the suggestion icon 86 is set to blue from the start of the notice effect. The timing TA2 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 to green, the start timing TS1 (seconds) of the super reach production, the timing of the change end timing T2 (seconds), etc. are stored in the RAM (S505-8-3-). 1).

  Subsequently, in S505-8-3-2 to S505-8-3-10, the processing of S505-8-2-2 to S505-8-2-10 is executed (FIG. 35 (1) to FIG. 35). 36 (4)). Thereafter, the timing TA2 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 to green, for example, “03:00” (seconds) is read from the RAM, and the time to be subtracted and displayed on the time lapse display 85 is changed to the suggestion icon 86. It waits until it reaches the timing TA2 (seconds) for setting green, for example, “03:00” (seconds) (S505-8-3-11). In other words, the color of the suggestion icon 86 can be changed before the time displayed by subtraction on the time-lapse display 85 reaches “00:00”. (Changing the display mode of the suggestion icon (suggestion display) 86 corresponds to the “first display control means” of the present application.)

  When the subtracted display time on the time lapse display 85 reaches a timing TA2 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 to green, for example, “03:00” (seconds) (S505-8-). 3-11) When the suggestion icon 86 moves to the right end position of the time-lapse display 85, the color of the suggestion icon 86 is changed from blue to green (FIG. 39 (11)) (S505-8-). 3-12). Thereafter, a reciprocating display is started in which the green suggestion icon 86 reciprocally rolls across the left and right widths on the time passage display 85 (S505-8-3-12). This suggests that a game that is super-reach or higher is executed to the player.

  Subsequently, the green suggestion icon 86 is displayed in a reciprocating manner across the entire width of the time passage display 85 until the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (S505-). 8-3-13). When the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (seconds) (S505-8-3-13), the green suggestion icon 86 is displayed on the time progress display 85. Is moved and displayed so as to fly toward the hold icon 83A set in the “target hold icon (target hold)” and applied to the hold icon 83A.

  Then, after the green suggestion icon 86 hits the hold icon 83A, it is deleted (disappears), and the hold icon 83A is set from white to green (“second display control means”, “reliability display” of the present application). It is suggested to the player that the next left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C are likely to be super-reach or higher (FIG. 39 (12)). )-(13)) (S505-8-3-14). That is, the hold icon 83A becomes a reliability display. Thereafter, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C of the off symbol are largely stopped at the center of the display unit 11 to notify that the normal symbol is given off (FIG. 40 (14)). (S505-8-3-15).

  Subsequently, the green hold icon 83A is deleted (when the change of the hold is started by moving), and the hold icons 83B to 83D displayed on the display unit 11 are moved and displayed to the left side and newly displayed. Thereafter, the simulation icon 82 is set from white to green (FIG. 40 (15)) (S505-8-3-16). Further, the time-lapse display 85 is deleted (disappears) from the display unit 11 (FIG. 40 (15)) (S505-8-3-16).

  When the start timing TS1 (seconds) of the super reach effect is read from the RAM and the start timing TS1 (seconds) of the super reach effect has elapsed since the start of the pre-reading notice effect, the display unit of the display device 10 is displayed. 11 starts changing the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C (FIG. 40 (15)) (S505-8-3-17). Thereby, it is suggested to the player that there is a high possibility that the fluctuation display of the current left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C is higher than the super reach (FIG. 40 (15)).

  And the fluctuation | variation of left, center, and right special symbol 81A-81C is largely displayed on the center part of the display part 11 of the display apparatus 10, and left special symbol 81A and right special symbol are among the left, middle, right special symbols 81A-81C. The symbol 81C stops at the winning symbol (for example, “7”), and the reach variation state in which only the middle special symbol 81B varies (FIG. 40 (16)) (S505-8-3-18). .

  Subsequently, the reach fluctuation state is displayed in a small size on the upper left side of the display unit 11, and a character “super reach” is displayed in a small size on the upper right side of the display unit 11 (FIG. 41 (17)) (S505-8). -3-19). Further, the customer character 88 and the enemy character 89 appear in the substantially central portion of the display unit 11, and the customer character 88 and the enemy character 89 are confronted with each other, and then fight (FIG. 41 (17)) (S505). 8-3-19).

  After that, the enemy character 89 that has been defeated by the fighting is displayed in the approximate center of the display unit 11 and the customer character 88 that is standing is displayed beside the enemy character 89 (FIG. 41 ( 18A)) (S505-8-3-19). In addition, on the upper left side of the display unit 11, the left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 81C are suspended and stopped at the slots such as “7, 7, 7,” and the jackpot is informed. (FIG. 41 (18A)) (S505-8-3-19).

  Subsequently, the variation end timing T2 (second) is read from the RAM, and the variation end timing T2 (second) is awaited after the prefetch notice effect is started. That is, it waits until the display time of the super reach effect elapses (S505-8-3-20). Then, when the variation end timing T2 (seconds) has elapsed since the start of the pre-reading notice effect, that is, when the display time of the super reach effect has elapsed, the left, middle and right specials are displayed at the center of the display unit 11. The symbols 81A to 81C are suspended and stopped at the slots such as “7, 7, 7”, and it is notified that the jackpot has been confirmed (FIG. 41 (19A)) (S505-8-3-21), The hold notice effect command process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S505-8-3 that the hold notice effect pattern included in the variation command is not the “second effect pattern” (S505-8-3), the hold included in the change command is determined. It is determined whether or not the notice effect pattern is the “third effect pattern” (S505-8-4).

  If it is determined that the pending notice effect pattern included in the change command is the “third effect pattern” (S505-8-4), the upper part of FIG. 26, FIG. 27, FIG. 34, FIG. 1) to FIG. 36 (4) and FIG. 42 to FIG. 46 show the “third effect pattern” hit pending notice effect display, that is, the “third effect pattern” hit look-ahead notice effect display. As shown in FIG. 26, first, the timing chart of the “third effect pattern” (see the upper part of FIG. 34) is read from the ROM and stored in the RAM (S505-8-4-1).

  Specifically, the timing TA1 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 in blue from the start of the notice effect, the timing TA2 (seconds) for temporarily stopping the suggestion icon 86, the time elapsed indicator 85 is reset, and subtraction is started. Timing TB1 (seconds), timing TB2 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 in green, timing TB3 (seconds) for setting the simulation icon 82 in green, timing for temporarily varying and stopping the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C TB4 (seconds), timing TC1 (seconds) for setting a red suggestion icon, etc., timing TS2 (seconds) for setting a simulated icon in red and starting reach production, timings for variation end timing T3 (seconds), etc. It is stored in the RAM (S505-8-4-1).

  Subsequently, in S505-8-4-2 to S505-8-4-10, the processing of S505-8-2-2 to S505-8-2-10 is executed (FIG. 35 (1) to FIG. 35). 36 (4)). The blue suggestion icon 86 is displayed so as to reciprocate over the entire left and right widths on the time passage display 85 until the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (S505-8). -4-11). When the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (seconds) (S505-8-4-11), the blue suggestion icon 86 is displayed on the time progress display 85. Is stopped and displayed at the center position in the left-right direction (FIG. 42 (21)) (S505-8-4-12).

  Thereafter, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C of the off symbol are largely stopped at the center of the display unit 11 to notify that the normal symbol is given off (FIG. 42 (22)). (S505-8-4-13). Then, in the time display column of the time lapse display 85, the “continuation” character indicating that the blue suggestion icon 86 is again displayed on the time lapse display 85 in a reciprocating manner across the entire width is displayed. (FIG. 42 (23)) (S505-8-4-14).

  Then, the variation of the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C is started on the display unit 11 of the display device 10, and the hold icon 83A displayed on the display unit 11 is deleted (moved to hold the hold). When the change starts, the hold icons 83B to 83D displayed on the display unit 11 are moved to the left and set to new hold icons 83A to 83C (FIG. 42 (23)) ( S505-8-4-15). Also, the deleted icon 83A corresponds to “the display order of the hold icon that becomes a big hit (holding information that becomes a big hit)” that was included in the hold notice effect command when deleted (when the movement of the hold starts due to movement) If it is the “target hold icon (target hold)”, the simulated icon 82 is set to “target hold icon (target hold)” and stored in the RAM (FIG. 42 (23)) (S505-8-). 4-15). The star mark indicated by the dotted line of the simulated icon 82 is an explanatory mark indicating the “target hold icon” and is not displayed on the display unit 11.

  Subsequently, a preset time, for example, “20:00” (seconds) is set in the time progress indicator 85 and displayed in the time display column (FIG. 43 (24)) (S505-8-4-). 16). This time is stored in advance in the ROM in association with the third effect pattern. Then, subtraction display of the time displayed on the time passage display 85 is started (S505-8-4-17). At the same time, a reciprocating display in which the blue suggestion icon 86 reciprocally rolls over the left and right widths on the time progress indicator 85 is started (S505-8-4-18).

  Thereafter, the timing TB2 (seconds) for setting the blue suggestion icon 86 to green, for example, “12:00” (seconds) is read from the RAM and subtracted and displayed on the time lapse display 85 is the suggestion icon. It waits until it reaches a timing TB2 (seconds) for setting 86 to green, for example, “12:00” (seconds) (S505-8-4-19).

  When the subtracted display time on the time lapse display 85 reaches a timing TB2 (seconds) for setting the blue suggestion icon 86 to green, for example, “12:00” (seconds) (S505- 8-4-19) When the blue suggestion icon 86 moves to the right end position of the time-lapse display 85, the color of the suggestion icon 86 is changed from blue to green (FIG. 43 (25)) ( S505-8-4-20). Thereafter, a reciprocating display is started in which the green suggestion icon 86 reciprocally rolls over the left and right full width on the time passage display 85 (S505-8-4-20). This suggests that there is a high possibility that a game exceeding super reach will be executed. In other words, the color of the suggestion icon 86 can be changed before the time displayed by subtraction on the time-lapse display 85 reaches “00:00”. (Changing the display mode of the suggestion icon (suggestion display) 86 corresponds to the “first display control means” of the present application.)

  Subsequently, the green suggestion icon 86 is displayed in a reciprocating manner across the entire width of the time passage display 85 until the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (S505-). 8-4-21). When the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (seconds) (S505-8-4-21), the green suggestion icon 86 is displayed on the time progress display 85. Is moved and displayed so as to fly toward the simulated icon 82 set in the “target hold icon (target hold)”, and applied to the simulated icon 82.

  Then, after the green suggestion icon 86 hits the simulated icon 82, it is deleted (disappears), and the simulated icon is set from white to green ("second display control means", "reliability display means" of the present application). ”), It is suggested that the fluctuation display of the current left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C is likely to be super-reach or higher (FIG. 43 (26)). ) (S505-8-4-22). That is, the simulation icon 82 becomes a reliability display.

  Thereafter, the left, middle and right special symbols 81A, 81B and 81C of the off symbol are largely temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 11 (FIG. 44 (27)) (S505-8-4-23). That is, it is shown that the fluctuating symbol is stopped in a pseudo manner. The “temporary fluctuation stop” means a state in which the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C are slightly swinging up and down, left and right, and a state in which the symbols are rotating little by little. Further, the time display column of the time lapse indicator 85 indicates that the temporary fluctuation is stopped (that the fluctuation has not ended yet). In addition, the suggestion icon 86 appears, and a “continuation” character is displayed indicating that the red suggestion icon 86 is displayed to reciprocate across the entire left and right width on the time-lapse display 85 (FIG. 44 (27)). (S505-8-4-24).

  In the present embodiment, the suggestion icon 86 is moved and displayed so as to fly toward the simulation icon 82 when reaching “00:00”. However, the suggestion icon 86 is displayed as it is and directed toward the simulation icon 82. It is good also as a display which does not fly. In that case, in the time display column of the time lapse indicator 85, it is represented by a pseudo stop state that makes it appear that the fluctuation is temporarily stopped. And the suggestion icon 86 may continuously display the color at the time of “temporary change stop”, and may or may not change to red thereafter. (The display mode of the suggestion icon (suggestion display) 86 after the change also corresponds to the “first display control means” of the present application. Also, since it continues, the “elapsed time display means“ In other words, it is possible to perform an effect involving pseudo fluctuations that continue to fluctuate while making it appear that the fluctuation is stopped because it is “00:00”.

  Subsequently, a preset time, for example, “10:00” (seconds) is set in the time progress indicator 85 and is displayed in the time display column (FIG. 44 (28)) (S505-8-4-). 25). This time is stored in advance in the ROM in association with the third effect pattern. Further, the red suggestion icon 86 is stopped and displayed at the center position in the left-right direction of the upper end portion of the time-lapse display 85 (FIG. 44 (28)) (S505-8-4-26).

  Thereafter, the second variation display of the left, middle and right special symbols 81A, 81B and 81C, which is temporarily suspended at the center of the display unit 11, that is, re-variation is started, so-called pseudo continuous notice effect is started. (FIG. 44 (28)) (S505-8-4-27). Then, subtraction display of the time displayed on the time lapse display 85 is started (FIG. 44 (29)) (S505-8-4-28). At the same time, a reciprocating display in which the red suggestion icon 86 reciprocally rolls across the entire width on the left and right display 85 is started (FIG. 44 (29)) (S505-8-4-29). This suggests that the player is likely to execute a game that is usually a big hit.

  Subsequently, the red suggestion icon 86 is reciprocally moved across the entire width of the time passage display 85 until the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (S505-). 8-4-30). When the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (seconds) (S505-8-4-30), the red suggestion icon 86 is displayed on the time progress display 85. Is moved and displayed so as to fly toward the green simulated icon 82 set in the “target hold icon (target hold)”, and applied to the simulated icon 82.

  Then, after the red suggestion icon 86 hits the green simulation icon 82, it is deleted (disappears), and the simulation icon 82 is set from green to red ("second display control means", "trust" of the present application). It is suggested to the player that the fluctuation display of the current left, middle and right special symbols 81A to 8C is usually likely to be a big hit (FIG. 45 ( 31)) (S505-8-4-31). That is, the simulation icon 82 becomes “reliability display”. Further, the time-lapse display 85 is deleted (disappears) from the display unit 11 (FIG. 45 (31)) (S505-8-4-31). Subsequently, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C among the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C variably displayed in the central portion of the display unit 11 are the normal winning symbols (for example, “6”). ) And the reach variation state in which only the middle special symbol 81B is varied (FIG. 45 (32)) (S505-8-4-32).

  Subsequently, the change end timing T3 (second) is read from the RAM, and the change end timing T3 (second) is awaited after the prefetch notice effect is started. That is, it waits until the display time of the reach fluctuation state elapses (S505-8-4-33). When the variation end timing T3 (seconds) has elapsed since the start of the pre-reading notice effect, that is, when the display time of the reach variation state has elapsed, the left, middle, and right specials are displayed at the center of the display unit 11. The symbols 81A to 81C are suspended and stopped at the even symbols such as “6, 6, 6”, and it is notified that the normal jackpot is confirmed (FIG. 46 (33)) (S505-8-4). -34), the hold notice effect command process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S505-8-4 that the hold notice effect pattern included in the variation command is not the “third effect pattern” (S505-8-4), the hold included in the change command is determined. The notice effect pattern is determined to be the “fourth effect pattern” (S505-8-4).

  If it is determined that the pending notice effect pattern included in the variation command is the “fourth effect pattern” (S505-8-4), the lower part of FIG. 28, FIG. 29, FIG. 34, FIG. 1) to FIG. 36 (4), FIG. 42 (21) to FIG. 44 (28), and FIG. 47 to FIG. "Pre-fetching notice effect display is executed. As shown in FIG. 28, first, the timing chart of the “fourth effect pattern” (see the lower part of FIG. 34) is read from the ROM and stored in the RAM (S505-8-4-41).

  Specifically, the timing TA1 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 in blue from the start of the notice effect, the timing TA2 (seconds) for temporarily stopping the suggestion icon 86, the time elapsed indicator 85 is reset, and subtraction is started. Timing TB1 (seconds), timing TB2 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 in green, timing TB3 (seconds) for setting the simulation icon 82 in green, timing for temporarily varying and stopping the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C TB4 (seconds), timing TC1 (seconds) for setting a red suggestion icon, etc., timing TC2 (seconds) for setting the suggestion icon 86 in rainbow color, timing TC3 (seconds) in setting the simulated icon 82 to rainbow color, left , TC4 (seconds) for temporarily varying and stopping the middle and right special symbols 81A to 8C, and the left and middle and right special symbols 81A to 8C to be varied again. Timing TC5 (s), timing TS3 to start reach effect (s), each timing of change end time T4 (in seconds) is stored in RAM (S505-8-4-41).

  Subsequently, in S505-8-4-42 to S505-8-4-69, the processing of S505-8-4-2 to S505-8-4-29 is executed (FIG. 35 (1) to FIG. 35). 36 (4), FIG. 42 (21) to FIG. 44 (28)). Thereafter, the timing TC2 (seconds) for setting the red suggestion icon 86 to be rainbow, for example, “06: 00” (seconds) is read from the RAM, and the time to be subtracted and displayed on the time lapse display 85 is indicated. It waits until it reaches a timing TC2 (second) for setting the icon 86 to be rainbow, for example, “06: 0” (second) (S505-8-4-70).

  When the subtracted display time on the time lapse display 85 reaches a timing TC2 (seconds) for setting the red suggestion icon 86 to rainbow, for example, “06: 0” (seconds) (S505). -8-4-70) When the red suggestion icon 86 is moved to the right end position of the time-lapse display 85, the color of the suggestion icon 86 is changed from red to rainbow (see “First” in this application). Corresponding to "display control means") (FIG. 47 (41)) (S505-8-4-71). Thereafter, a reciprocating display in which the rainbow suggestion icon 86 reciprocally rolls over the left and right widths on the time progress indicator 85 is started (S505-8-4-71). This suggests that the player is highly likely to execute a game that is a probable big hit.

  Subsequently, the rainbow-colored suggestion icon 86 is displayed in a reciprocating manner across the left and right widths on the time passage display 85 until the subtracted display time on the time passage display 85 reaches “00:00” (S505). -8-4-72). When the time displayed on the subtraction display 85 reaches “00:00” (seconds) (S505-8-4-72), the rainbow suggestion icon 86 is displayed on the time progress display. When moving to the left end position of 85, it is moved and displayed so as to fly toward the green simulated icon 82 set in the “target hold icon (target hold)”, and applied to the simulated icon 82.

  Then, after the rainbow suggestion icon 86 hits the green simulated icon 82, it is deleted (disappears), and the simulated icon 82 is set from green to rainbow ("second display control means" in the present application, Corresponding to “reliability display means”), it is suggested to the player that the fluctuation display of the current left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 8C is likely to be a probable big hit (see FIG. 47 (43)) (S505-8-4-73). That is, the simulation icon 82 becomes “reliability display”. Thereafter, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C of the off symbol are largely temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 11 (FIG. 48 (44)) (S505-8-4-74). In addition, the state where “00:00” (seconds) is displayed in the time display column of the time elapsed display 85 is continued (FIG. 48 (44)) (S505-8-4-75). In other words, although the suggestion icon 86 of another color is configured so as not to be displayed again, the “continuation” character indicating that the suggestion icon 86 of the other color is reciprocatingly displayed across the entire width on the left and right is displayed. It may be.

  After that, the time progress indicator 85 is deleted from the display unit 11 (erased), and the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C are temporarily stopped at the center of the display unit 11 for the third time. Fluctuation display, that is, re-variation is started (FIG. 48 (45)) (S505-8-4-76). Subsequently, the left special symbol 81A and the right special symbol 81C among the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C that are variably displayed in the central portion of the display unit 11 are the probability variation winning symbols (for example, “7”). ) And the reach variation state in which only the middle special symbol 81B is varied (FIG. 48 (46)) (S505-8-4-77).

  Subsequently, the variation end timing T4 (seconds) is read from the RAM, and the variation end timing T4 (seconds) is awaited after the prefetch notice effect is started. That is, it waits until the display time of the reach fluctuation state elapses (S505-8-4-78). Then, when the variation end timing T4 (seconds) has elapsed since the start of the pre-reading notice effect, that is, when the display time of the reach variation state has elapsed, the left, middle and right specials are displayed at the center of the display unit 11. It is notified that the symbols 81A to 81C are stopped by fluctuation at odd-numbered symbols such as “7, 7, 7”, and the probability variation jackpot is confirmed (FIG. 49 (47)) (S505-8-4). -79), the hold notice effect command process ends.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, in the above-described S505-8-1, the received fluctuation command (hold notification effect command) includes “display order of hold icons that are jackpots (holding information that is jackpots)”. In other words, in other words, a change command (holding advance notice) including “the display order of the hold icon to be removed (execution position of the hold notice effect pattern (for example,“ second ”))” and the hold notice effect pattern. If it is determined that the command is an effect command) (S505-8-1), in S505-8-5, it is determined whether or not the pending notice effect pattern included in the change command is the “first effect pattern”. It is judged (S505-8-5).

  If it is determined that the pending notice effect pattern included in the change command is the “first effect pattern” (S505-8-5), the upper part of FIGS. 30 and 33 and FIGS. The “first effect pattern” missed hold notice effect display, that is, the “first effect pattern” missed prefetch notice effect display is executed. As shown in FIG. 30, first, a timing chart of “first effect pattern” (see the upper part of FIG. 33) is read from the ROM, and timing TA1 (seconds) when the suggestion icon 86 is set to blue from the start of the notice effect. Reach effect start timing TS1 (seconds) and variation end timing T1 (seconds) are stored in the RAM (S505-8-5-1).

  Subsequently, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10 and correspond to the number of held balls among the held icons 83A to 83D imitating the shape of the ball. The number of hold icons is displayed in white at the bottom center of the display unit 11. Further, a simulated icon 82 simulating the shape of a ball representing the reliability of the big hit that is currently changing is displayed in white at the lower left corner of the display unit 11 (FIG. 35 (1)) (S505-8-5). -2).

  In addition, among the hold icons 83A to 83D displayed on the display unit 11, the hold corresponding to “the display order of the hold icons to be removed (the execution position of the hold notice effect pattern (for example,“ second ”))”. The icon 83B (holding storage information) is set to a “target holding icon (target holding)” whose color is to be changed (corresponding to “holding position selection means” in the present application) (S505-8-5-2). That is, as shown in FIG. 35 (1), based on “display order of hold icon to be removed (execution position of hold notice effect pattern (for example,“ second ”))” included in the hold notice effect command. The corresponding hold icon 83B displayed second from the left is set to “target hold icon (target hold)” and stored in the RAM (S505-8-5-2). Note that the star indicated by a dotted line is an explanatory mark indicating the “target hold icon (target hold)” and is not displayed on the display unit 11.

  Then, in S505-8-5-3 to S505-8-5-17, the processing of S505-8-2-3 to S505-8-2-17 is executed (FIG. 35 (1) to FIG. 37). (9)). Then, when the variation end timing T1 (seconds) has elapsed since the start of the pre-reading notice effect, that is, when the display time of the reach variation state has elapsed, the left, middle and right specials are displayed in the center of the display unit 11. The symbols 81A to 81C are suspended and stopped by the detachment symbols such as “7, 6, 7”, etc., and it is notified that the detachment is confirmed (FIG. 38 (10B)) (S505-8-5-18). Then, the hold notice effect command process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S505-8-5 that the hold notice effect pattern included in the variation command is not the “first effect pattern” (S505-8-5), the hold included in the change command is determined. The notice effect pattern is determined to be the “second effect pattern” (S505-8-5).

  When it is determined that the pending notice effect pattern included in the change command is the “second effect pattern” (S505-8-5), the lower part of FIGS. 31 and 33, and FIGS. 36 (4) and FIG. 39 to FIG. 41 show details of the “second effect pattern” off-holding notice effect display, that is, the “second effect pattern” outlook pre-reading notice effect display. As shown in FIG. 31, first, the timing chart (see the lower part of FIG. 33) of the “second effect pattern” is read from the ROM, and the timing TA1 (seconds) when the suggestion icon 86 is set to blue from the start of the notice effect. The timing TA2 (second) for setting the suggestion icon 86 to green, the start timing TS1 (second) for the super reach production, the timing for the change end T2 (second), etc. are stored in the RAM (S505-8-5). 21).

  Subsequently, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C start to change on the display unit 11 of the display device 10 and correspond to the number of held balls among the held icons 83A to 83D imitating the shape of the ball. The number of hold icons is displayed in white at the bottom center of the display unit 11. Further, a simulated icon 82 simulating the shape of a ball representing the reliability of the big hit that is currently changing is displayed in white at the lower left corner of the display unit 11 (FIG. 35 (1)) (S505-8-5). -22). That is, the hold icons 83A to 83D themselves are “reliability display”.

  Moreover, it respond | corresponds based on "the order of display of the hold icon to be removed (execution position of hold notice effect pattern (for example," second "))" among the hold icons 83A to 83D displayed on the display unit 11. The hold icon 83B to be set is set to “target hold icon (target hold)” whose color is changed (corresponding to “hold position selection means” in the present application) (S505-8-5-22). That is, as shown in FIG. 35 (1), based on “display order of hold icon to be removed (execution position of hold notice effect pattern (for example,“ second ”))” included in the hold notice effect command. The corresponding hold icon 83B displayed second from the left is set to “target hold icon (target hold)” and stored in the RAM (S505-8-5-22). Note that the star indicated by a dotted line is an explanatory mark indicating the “target hold icon (target hold)” and is not displayed on the display unit 11.

  Then, in S505-8-5-23 to S505-8-5-38, the processing of S505-8-3-3 to S505-8-3-18 is executed (FIG. 35 (1) to FIG. 36). (4), FIG. 39 (11) to FIG. 40 (16)).

  Subsequently, the reach fluctuation state is displayed in a small size on the upper left side of the display unit 11 and a character “super reach” is displayed in a small size on the upper right side of the display unit 11 (FIG. 41 (17)) (S505-8). -5-39). Further, the customer character 88 and the enemy character 89 appear in the substantially central portion of the display unit 11, and the customer character 88 and the enemy character 89 are confronted with each other, and then fight (FIG. 41 (17)) (S505). 8-5-39).

  Thereafter, the customer-side character 88 that has been defeated by fighting is displayed in the approximate center of the display unit 11, and the standing enemy character 89 is displayed on the side of the customer-side character 88 (FIG. 41). (18B)) (S505-8-5-39). In addition, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A to 81C are suspended and stopped at the upper left side of the display unit 11 by the outreach symbols such as “7, 6, 7,”, etc. This is notified (FIG. 41 (18B)) (S505-8-5-39).

  Subsequently, the variation end timing T2 (second) is read from the RAM, and the variation end timing T2 (second) is awaited after the prefetch notice effect is started. That is, it waits until the display time of the super reach effect elapses (S505-8-5-40). Then, when the variation end timing T2 (seconds) has elapsed since the start of the pre-reading notice effect, that is, when the display time of the super reach effect has elapsed, the left, middle and right specials are displayed at the center of the display unit 11. The symbols 81A to 81C are stopped by fluctuation with the detachment symbols such as “7, 6, 7”, etc., and it is notified that the detachment is confirmed (FIG. 41 (19B)) (S505-8-5-41). Then, the hold notice effect command process ends.

  As described in detail above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control board 205 is displayed while the time displayed on the time lapse display 85 is subtracted in the “pending notice effect command processing”. The suggestion icon 86 is configured to be able to change in a stepwise manner from white having the lowest reliability among the plurality of modes to blue, green, red, and rainbow colors in which the reliability is high. Then, at the timing when the time lapse display 85 becomes “00:00” (seconds), the hold icon 83A imitating the shape of the ball displayed on the left end, or the ball representing the reliability that is a big hit that is currently changing The simulated icon 82 imitating the shape of the suggestion icon 86 is changed to the form of the suggestion icon 86, that is, the color of the suggestion icon 86. That is, the hold icon 83A or the simulated icon 82 is “reliability display”.

  As a result, after attracting the player's interest to the effect mode (corresponding to the “first display control means” of the present application) in which the color of the suggestion icon 86 changes, subsequently, the hold icons 83A to 83D (examples) Or 83A.), Or the simulated icon 82 representing the reliability of the big hit that is currently changing can be attracted to the changing aspect, and it is possible to enhance the preference.

  In addition, among the hold icons 83A to 83D displayed at the maximum at the lower end of the display unit 11, among the hold memories stored when the hold notice effect pattern is selected, the hold containing the jackpot random number value is included. The hold icon for storage is set to “target hold icon (target hold)”, and the color of the hold icons 83A to 83D (83A in the example) or the simulated icon 82 corresponding to the “target hold icon” changes. Thereby, the player's interest can be further attracted to the on-hold icons 83A to 83D (83A in the example) 83A or the effect mode in which the simulated icon 82 representing the reliability that is the big hit that is currently changing changes. it can. In the present embodiment, the hold icon 83A is subject to hold, but any of the hold icons 83A to 83D may be used.

  Further, when the hold icon 83A changes to the color of the suggestion icon 86 (corresponding to “second display control means” and “reliability display means” of the present application), the hold data corresponding to the hold icon 83A is displayed. When the fluctuation display is displayed on the display unit 11 and the hold icon 83A is deleted, the color of the simulated icon 82 changes to the color of the hold icon 83A. Thereby, it is possible to give a notice of whether or not a privilege is granted depending on the mode of change of the simulated icon 82, and it is possible to attract the player's interest in the effect mode of the change of the simulated icon 82, and further the preference. Can be increased.

  In addition, if “continuation” is displayed after “00:00” is displayed in the time display field of the time lapse display 85, the suggestion displayed on the upper end of the time lapse display 85 is displayed. The color of the icon 86 can be changed step by step to a color with higher reliability of the jackpot. Thereby, since the aspect of the suggestion icon 86 changes to an aspect with higher reliability, the player's interest can be further attracted to the effect aspect in which the suggestion icon 86 changes, and the preference is further enhanced. It becomes possible. Note that the notation indicating that the fluctuation has ended is not limited to “continuation”.

  In addition, after “00:00” is displayed in the time display field of the time lapse indicator 85, the characters “continue” are displayed, and the left, middle, right special symbols 81A, 81B, 81C are temporarily stopped. In such a case, the left, middle, and right special symbols 81A, 81B, and 81C are temporarily suspended and then re-variation is started, so that a so-called pseudo-continuous notice effect is executed. be able to.

  Further, when the subtraction display of the time lapse display 85 is performed, the suggestion icon 86 reciprocates in the left-right direction on the time lapse display 85, and the suggestion icon is displayed at the right end position on the time lapse display 85 at a predetermined timing. 86 colors change to highly reliable colors. This makes it easy to recognize the timing at which the color of the suggestion icon 86 changes. Each time the suggestion icon 86 is positioned at the right end position on the time-lapse display 85, the player's interest is attracted to the suggestion icon 86, It becomes possible to improve the nature.

  Further, when the subtraction display of the time progress indicator 85 is performed, the color of the suggestion icon 86 changes during a preset elapsed time. Thereby, it becomes easy to recognize the timing when the color of the suggestion icon 86 changes, the player's interest can be attracted to the display of the time-lapse display 85, and it is possible to enhance the preference.

  Further, until the “target hold icon (target hold)” is set to the hold icon 83A, the characters “waiting” are displayed in the time display field of the time elapsed display 85, and the color of the suggestion icon 86 is Since a standby state that does not change from white, which has the lowest reliability, is displayed for a predetermined period of time, it is possible to increase the player's expectation and enhance the taste.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Of course, various improvement and deformation | transformation are possible within the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the order of appearance of the suggestion icon 86 is displayed from white having the lowest reliability, but may start from a color above the color having the lowest reliability. Further, there may be a case where the display mode of the suggestion icon 86 is reflected on the hold icon 83A and is not reflected as a result (the second display control unit is not executed). The display unit corresponding to the reliability display means may be any one of the hold icons 83A to 83D or the change-use hold icon as in the present embodiment. Further, the following may be used.

[Other first embodiment]
(A) For example, when the target hold icon corresponding to the “display order” included in the hold notice effect command is set to the second hold icon 83B from the left, the suggestion icon 86 hits the hold icon 83B, The color of the hold icon 83B may be changed to the color of the suggestion icon 86. Thereby, the effect of the embodiment can be achieved.

[Other Second Embodiment]
(B) Further, for example, while the suggestion icon 86 imitating the ball is displayed on the upper side of the time progress indicator 85 while the time in the time display column is subtracted, the effect is moved up and down by so-called lifting of soccer. May be displayed. Then, when the suggestion icon 86 lifted by the foot is lifted by heading, the color of the suggestion icon 86 may change to a color with higher reliability. Thereby, it is possible to enhance the preference of the effect display that changes the color of the suggestion icon 86.

[Other third embodiment]
(C) Further, for example, the time displayed in the time display column of the time lapse indicator 85 may be increased from “00:00” to a predetermined time, for example, “10:00”. . And when it becomes a predetermined timing, you may comprise so that the color of the suggestion icon 86 may change to a color with higher reliability. Thereby, the effect of the embodiment can be achieved.

[Other Fourth Embodiment]
(D) Further, for example, the time progress indicator 85 may be constituted by a horizontal bar meter or the like. And you may make it display so that the length of a horizontal bar meter may become short gradually, or may become long gradually with progress of time. Then, when the horizontal bar meter length becomes a predetermined length, the color of the suggestion icon 86 that moves in the horizontal direction on the horizontal bar meter may be changed to a color with higher reliability. . Thereby, the effect of the embodiment can be achieved.

[Other Fifth Embodiment]
(E) Further, for example, when the suggestion icon 86 hits other icons displayed on the display unit 11 instead of the hold icons 83A to 83D and the simulated icon 82, for example, a goal post, the color of the goal post, etc. May change to the color of the suggestion icon 86 to suggest a reliability that is a big hit that is currently changing. As a result, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the effect of changing the color of the goal post or the like and to enhance the taste.

[Other Sixth Embodiment]
(F) Also, for example, the shape of the suggestion icon 86 changes, and for example, changes to fish, carp, mouse, rabbit, horse, etc., in order, so that the reliability of the big hit increases stepwise. May be.

[Other Seventh Embodiment]
(G) Also, for example, the suggestion icon 86 may be configured such that the reliability of the jackpot decreases step by step in the order of white, blue, green, red, and rainbow colors. The reliability may be increased or decreased step by step. Further, the color of the suggestion icon 86 may be changed not only in stages, but also in two stages. Moreover, the color of the suggestion icon 86 is not limited to white, blue, green, red, and rainbow colors, but may be a predetermined color. Moreover, the color of the suggestion icon 86 is not limited to five types of white, blue, green, red, and rainbow colors, and may be six or more types. This makes it possible to diversify the pre-reading notice display.

[Other Eighth Embodiment]
(H) Further, for example, a display device such as a liquid crystal, a dot matrix, or an LED display device may be separately provided without displaying the time progress indicator 85 on the display unit 11 to display the time progress. Thereby, the effect of the embodiment can be achieved.

  (I) Moreover, although embodiment which actualized the game machine concerning this invention was demonstrated above, the game machine can also have the following structures, and there exists the following effect in that case.

(Supplementary Note 1) For example, the gaming machine according to the first configuration includes a privilege grant determining unit that determines whether or not to grant a privilege, and a notifying unit that notifies the determination result of the privilege grant determining unit. In the gaming machine, the notification means includes a reliability display means for displaying a reliability indicating the reliability at which the privilege is given to a predetermined first position, and a time range that changes within a predetermined range as time passes. A time display means for displaying, a suggestion display means for displaying at least one of a plurality of aspects representing a degree of reliability to which the privilege is given, a suggestion display suggesting the determination result at a predetermined second position; Based on the determination result, when the time passage display means changes within a predetermined range, the suggestion display changes stepwise from the first mode to another mode in which the reliability of the plurality of modes increases. 1st display control to control possible And a second display control means for controlling the display of the suggestion display on the reliability display means at a predetermined timing within a predetermined range in which the time lapse display means changes. To do.

  In addition, the content of the “privilege” of the present invention is not limited to the jackpot game, but for example, whether or not the probability change (probability of winning the jackpot is a high probability state), whether or not the time is short, and the number of times the winning prize opening is opened (round The game value is advantageous or unfavorable to the player, such as whether the number is different, whether it is probable and short, the number of payouts for one winning ball to the big prize opening is different, and the premier effect can be seen, etc. It also includes content that is different from the game value.

  In the gaming machine having such a first configuration, it is possible to enhance the preference for the effect mode that changes the reliability display indicating the reliability to which the privilege is given. In other words, when the time-lapse display means changes within a predetermined range, the suggestion display that suggests the determination result as to whether or not the privilege is given is more reliable than the first aspect of the plurality of aspects. It becomes possible to change in a stepwise manner. And the aspect of the reliability display showing the reliability to which a privilege is provided is changed in relation to the mode of the suggestion display at the predetermined timing at a predetermined timing within a predetermined range in which the time passage display means changes. Thereby, after attracting the player's interest to the production mode in which the suggestion display changes, it is possible to subsequently attract the player's interest in the production mode in which the reliability display changes, and the trust representing the reliability to which the privilege is given. It is possible to enhance the preference for the production mode that changes the degree display.

  (Supplementary Note 2) Also, for example, in the gaming machine according to the second configuration, until the notification result of the notification unit is used as the pending data in the gaming machine according to the first configuration, the determination result by the determination unit is held data A holding storage means for storing a predetermined maximum holding storage number as an upper limit in time series order, and the notification means displays a holding number display means for displaying the holding number corresponding to the holding data stored in the holding storage means; Holding position selecting means for selecting one holding position designated at a predetermined opportunity, and the reliability display means displays the holding position selected by the holding position selection means in the reliability display. The second display control unit is set as a display unit, and the second display control unit changes the mode of the holding position selected by the holding position selection unit in relation to the mode of the suggestion display at the predetermined timing. And controlling so as to.

  In the gaming machine having the second configuration described above, the predetermined number of the pending numbers corresponding to the pending data stored in time series with the maximum pending stored number as an upper limit at a predetermined timing within a predetermined range in which the time elapsed display means changes. The mode of the one holding position designated by the opportunity is changed in relation to the mode of suggestion display at a predetermined timing. Thereby, after attracting the player's interest to the effect mode in which the suggestion display changes, it is possible to subsequently attract the player mode to the effect mode in which the hold position changes, and the hold position representing the reliability to which the privilege is given It is possible to enhance the preference for the production mode that changes the mode.

  (Supplementary note 3) Further, for example, in the gaming machine according to the third configuration, in the gaming machine according to the second configuration, the second display control means may be configured such that the holding position selected by the holding position selection means is When the hold position corresponding to the hold data to be used for the next notification is set by the notification means, the mode of the hold position is changed in relation to the mode of the suggestion display at the predetermined timing. It is characterized by controlling as follows.

  In the gaming machine having the above third configuration, the holding data provided for the next notification by the notification means for notifying whether or not a privilege is given at a predetermined timing within a predetermined range where the time passage display means changes. The mode of the corresponding holding position changes in relation to the mode of suggestion display at a predetermined timing. Thereby, after attracting the player's interest to the effect mode in which the suggestion display changes, it is possible to subsequently attract the effect mode in which the mode of the holding position used for the next notification is changed by the notification means. Further, it is possible to further enhance the preference for the production mode that changes the mode of the holding position that represents the reliability to which the privilege is given.

  (Supplementary Note 4) Further, for example, in the gaming machine according to the fourth configuration, in the gaming machine according to the second configuration or the third configuration, the notification unit is provided for notification of the determination result. It has a simulation display means for displaying a simulated display that imitates the number of holds corresponding to the hold data, and the second display control means has the hold data corresponding to the hold position changed to the suggestion display mode. When the determination result is provided for notification, the simulation display is controlled to change in association with the state of the reservation position corresponding to the reservation data provided for the determination result notification. To do.

  In the gaming machine having the fourth configuration, when the hold data corresponding to the hold position changed in relation to the suggestion display mode is provided for notification of the determination result, a simulated display imitating the number of holds. The aspect changes in relation to the aspect of the holding position provided for notification of the determination result. Thereby, it becomes possible to give a notice of whether or not a privilege is granted depending on the mode of changing the simulated display, and it is possible to attract the player's interest to the effect mode in which the simulated display changes, and further enhance the preference. It becomes possible.
