When the game ball enters the first start winning opening 13 and is detected by the first start opening switch 13a, it is possible to start variable display of the first special symbol (for example, variable display of the special symbol is ended, the first The start condition of 1 is satisfied), the variable display (variation) of the first special symbol is started in the first special symbol display 8a, and the variable display of the effect symbol is started in the effect display device 9. That is, the variable display of the first special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to the winning of the first start winning opening 13. If it is not in a state where variable display of the first special symbol can be started, the first number of pending storages is increased by 1 on the condition that the first number of pending storages has not reached the upper limit value.

  If the game ball enters the second starting winning opening 14 and is detected by the second starting opening switch 14a, the variable display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the variable display of the special symbol ends, the first The start condition of 2 is satisfied), the variable display (variation) of the second special symbol is started in the second special symbol display 8 b, and the variable display of the effect symbol is started in the effect display device 9. That is, the variable display of the second special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to the winning of the second start winning opening 14. If it is not in a state where variable display of the second special symbol can be started, the second pending storage number is increased by one on the condition that the second pending storage number has not reached the upper limit value.

  In this embodiment, the game state is shifted to a high probability state (probable change state) when becoming a probability change big hit, and the game ball becomes easy to get started (that is, the special symbol display 8a, 8b or the effect) A transition is made to a high base state which is a gaming state controlled such that execution conditions of variable display in the display device 9 are easily established) (in this embodiment, transition to a time saving state). Also, when the gaming state is shifted to the short time state, it shifts to the high base state. In the high base state, for example, the frequency with which the variable winning ball device 15 is opened is increased, and the time when the variable winning ball device 15 is open is extended, as compared with the case where the high base is not used. It will be easier to get started.

  In addition, instead of extending the time when the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state (also referred to as the open extension state), the transition to the normal symbol probability state in which the probability of the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 hitting is increased is increased. Alternatively, it may be configured to shift to the high base state by shifting to the normal symbol time short state in which the variation time (variable display period) of the normal symbol in the normal symbol display 10 is shortened. In addition, it is possible to start winning easily (transition to the high base state) by transitioning to all the states shown above (open extension state, normal pattern exact variation state, normal symbol time short state and special symbol time short state) May be In addition, it is easy to start winning by shifting to any one of the above-mentioned states (open extension state, normal symbol probability change state, normal symbol time short state and special symbol time short state) (high base (high base) (Transition to the state). In addition, it is easy to start winning by shifting to any one of the above-mentioned states (open extension state, normal symbol probability change state, normal symbol time short state and special symbol time short state) (high It may be made to shift to the base state).

  As described above, when the gaming state is controlled to the high base state, the frequency at which the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state increases, and it becomes easy to win the second starting winning opening 14. And in this embodiment, since the gate 32 and the second start winning opening 14 are provided on the right side of the game area 7, when the game state is controlled to the high base state, the player It is more advantageous to aim at the right side of the game area 7 and operate the bat operating handle 5 (so-called right strike). On the other hand, when the gaming state is controlled to the low base state (the state not controlled to the high base state), the first starting winning opening is more likely to win than the second starting winning opening 14. And in this embodiment, since the first start winning opening 13 is provided on the left side of the game area 7, when the gaming state is controlled to the low base state, the player It is more advantageous to aim at the left side of the area 7 and operate the hit operating handle 5 (so-called left hitting).

  In addition, for the special winning opening, for example, by providing the special variable winning prize ball device 20 on the right or providing an induction nail or the like, the gaming ball which has flowed down from the right of the game area 7 is likely to win ( Alternatively, only the game balls that flowed down from the right side of the game area 7 may be winning possible. In this case, when in the big hit gaming state, it is more advantageous for the player to aim the right side of the game area 7 and operate the bat operating handle 5 (so-called right hit).

  Moreover, in this embodiment, if both the variable display of the first special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, both the first holding memory and the second holding memory are accumulated) If it is, the variable display of the second special symbol is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special symbol. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the gaming state is controlled to the high base state, the frequency of winning in the second start winning opening 14 is extremely high, and the variable display of the second special symbol is executed continuously. It is in the state of being On the other hand, when the gaming state is controlled to the low base state, the frequency of winning in the first starting winning opening 13 is higher than that of the second starting winning opening 14, and variable display of the first special symbol is executed. Rate will increase. In addition, instead of giving priority to one of the variable display of the first special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol, the first starting winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 in the winning order first (1) The variable display of the special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol may be executed.

  Further, although the details will be described later, variable display of the special effect design in the special effect display device 90 is performed as an indication of the occurrence of a big hit or the end of the positive change state when the gaming state is the positive change state. In this embodiment, since the player is also in the high base state when it is in the definite variation state, the player plays a game aiming to win the gate 32 and the second start winning opening 14 by right-handing. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, by providing the special effect display device 90 in the vicinity of the gate 32 and the second start winning opening 14, attention is paid to the variable display of the special effect pattern. With such a configuration, the special effect display device 90 can effectively produce effects. In addition, the player can check both the presence or absence of a winning on the second start winning opening 14 and the variable display of the special effect design.

Further, the effect control CPU 101 vibrates the stick controller 122 by outputting a drive signal to the vibrator motor 126 via the output port 105.

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 outputs a signal for driving the LED to the lamp driver board 35 via the output port 105. Further, the effect control CPU 101 outputs sound number data to the sound output board 70 via the output port 104.

  In the voice output board 70, the sound number data is input to the voice synthesis IC 703 via the input driver 702. The speech synthesis IC 703 generates speech and sound effects according to the sound number data and outputs the speech and the sound effects to the amplification circuit 705. The amplifier circuit 705 outputs to the speaker 27 an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the voice synthesis IC 703 to a level according to the volume set by the volume 706. The voice data ROM 704 stores control data corresponding to the sound number data. The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data indicating in time series the output mode of the sound effect or the sound in a predetermined period (for example, a fluctuation period of the effect pattern).

  Next, the operation of the effect control means will be described. The effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) mounted on the effect control board 80 as effect control means performs various effect control for each timer interruption of a predetermined interval (for example, 4 ms). Execute the process For example, the effect control CPU 101 performs effect control process processing, selects a process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) among the processes according to the control state, and the effect display device 9 or special Control of each of the effect devices such as the effect display device 90, the frame LED 28, the speaker 27, etc. is executed.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing effect control process processing. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 performs one of steps S800 to S807 in accordance with the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is performed.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800): It is checked whether a fluctuation pattern command (effect control command for specifying a fluctuation pattern of the effect pattern) has been received from the game control microcomputer 560 or not. If the fluctuation pattern command is received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation start process (step S801).

  Effect pattern fluctuation start processing (step S801): Control is performed so that the change of effect pattern is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol process (step S802).

  Process during production symbol fluctuation (step S802): While controlling the switching timing and the like of each fluctuation state (variation speed) constituting the fluctuation pattern, the end of fluctuation time is monitored. Then, when the fluctuation time is over, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation stop process (step S803).

  Effect pattern fluctuation stop processing (step S803): The change of the effect pattern is stopped and control is performed to derive and display the display result (stop pattern). Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit display process (step S804) or the variation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800).

  Big hit display process (step S804): After the end of the fluctuation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 9 of the occurrence of a big hit. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the in-round process (step S805).

  In-round process (step S 805): Display control in the round is performed. Then, when the round end condition is satisfied, if the final round is not ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the post round process (step S806). If the final round has ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end process (step S807).

  Post-round processing (step S806): Perform display control between rounds. Then, when the round start condition is satisfied, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the process during the round (step S805).

  Big hit end effect processing (step S 807): In the effect display device 9, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800).

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation start process (step S801) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the effect pattern variation start process, the effect control CPU 101 first reads out the variation pattern command from the variation pattern command storage area (the area storing the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560) provided in the RAM ( Step S8000). Next, the effect control CPU 101 stores the variation pattern command read in step S8000 and the display result designation command storage area (the area for storing the display result designation command received from the game control microcomputer 560) provided in the RAM. The received data (that is, the received display result specification command (the determination result of whether or not to make a big hit, the determination result of whether to make a small hit, a presentation control command to specify the result of determining a big hit type)) In response, the display result of the design symbol (stop symbol (probably big hit symbol (in this example, odd number combination), regular big hit symbol (in this example, even number combination), small hit symbol, off symbol) is determined ( Step S8001).

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 confirms whether or not the gaming state is a definite change state (step S8002), and when it is a positive change state, an effect mode of a notice effect in which the special effect design is variably displayed on the special effect display device 90. Is executed (step S8003).

  In addition, in this embodiment, it is possible to execute the notice effect that the special effect design is variably displayed in the special effect display device 90, but in addition to this, various advance notice effects in the effect display device 9 during the fluctuation display of the effect pattern. It may be possible to execute (effect to give notice of being controlled to the advantageous state (big hit gaming state)). In this case, processing for determining the presence or absence of execution of various advance notice effects and the effect mode of the advance notice effects in the case of execution is executed. In addition, various advance notice effects may be executable regardless of whether the gaming state is a definite change state.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 selects a process table corresponding to the advance effect when the fluctuation pattern and the advance effect are to be executed (step S8004). Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step S8005).

  The process table is a table in which process data to be referred to when the effect control CPU 101 executes control of the effect device is set. That is, the CPU for effect control 101 controls the effect device (component for effect) such as the effect display device 9 according to the process data set in the process table. The process table is composed of data in which a plurality of combinations of process timer set values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data and sound number data are collected. In the display control execution data, data etc. is described which indicates the aspect of each variation constituting the variation aspect during the variable display time (variation time) of the variable display of the effect pattern. Specifically, data relating to the change of the display screen of the effect display device 9 or the special effect display device 90 is described. Moreover, the fluctuation time in the aspect of the fluctuation | variation is set to the process timer set value. The effect control CPU 101 refers to the process table and performs control to display the effect pattern and the special effect pattern in the variation mode set in the display control execution data only for the time set in the process timer set value. The process table is stored in the ROM of the effect control board 80. Moreover, the process table is prepared according to each fluctuation pattern.

  In addition, the CPU for effect control 101 performs the effect device (effect display device 9 as a part for effect, special effect display device 90 according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound number data 1). Control of various lamps as presentation parts and speakers 27 as presentation parts is executed (step S8006). For example, in order to display an image according to the fluctuation pattern on the effect display device 9, an instruction is output to the VDP 109. Further, in order to control various lamps to turn on / off, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp driver board 35. In addition, in order to output sound from the speaker 27, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound output board 70.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 sets a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command in the fluctuation time timer (step S8007). Then, the effect control CPU 101 sets the value of the effect control process flag to a value corresponding to the effect symbol process (step S802) (step S8008).

  Next, the details of the advance notice effect for variably displaying the special effect design on the special effect display device 90 will be described. In this embodiment, the advance notice effect in which the special effect design is variably displayed is executed together with the fluctuation display of the effect design. Specifically, when the variable display of the effect symbol is started in the effect display device 9, the variable display of the special effect symbol is also started in the special effect display device 90. Then, during the fluctuation of the effect symbol, the fluctuation of the special effect symbol is stopped in the special effect display device 90, and the stop symbol of the special effect symbol is displayed. Thereafter, in the effect display device 9, the fluctuation of the effect symbol is stopped, and the stop symbol of the effect symbol is displayed. The notice effect that the special effect pattern is displayed in a variable manner is the stop pattern of the special effect pattern by displaying the stop pattern of the special effect pattern during the change of the effect pattern. It is usually suggested to be a big hit.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing the notice effect determination table. In step S8003 of the effect symbol variation start process, a lottery is performed using the notice effect determination table shown in FIG. 6, and the effect mode of the notice effect is determined. In the advance presentation effect determination table, a ratio determined as any one of the first to fifth presentation modes is shown for each display result (that is, off, positive probability big hit and normal big hit). In this embodiment, when it is a definite change state, it is constituted so that advance notice production to which a special production design is changed and displayed by necessity will be performed, but it is not limited to this, and it is determined whether it carries out by lottery. You may do so.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the first effect mode, a combination of three special effect designs that do not match is stopped and displayed as a display result of the variable display of the special effect designs. Further, in the second effect mode, a combination in which three teammate characters A are aligned is stopped and displayed as a display result of the variable display of the special effect pattern. Further, in the third effect mode, a combination of three allied characters B is stopped and displayed as a display result of the variable display of the special effect pattern. In the fourth effect mode, a combination of three enemy characters C is stopped and displayed as a display result of the variable display of the special effect pattern. Moreover, in the fifth effect mode, a combination of three enemy characters D is stopped and displayed as a display result of the variable display of the special effect pattern.

  In addition, in the first effect mode, in addition to the combination in which the three special effect symbols completely disagree, the third special effect symbol is incoincident with the reach condition in which the two special effect symbols coincide. Combinations are also included. In addition, in the variable display of the special effect design, three special effect designs may be stopped and displayed one by one in order, or three may be simultaneously stopped and displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the display result is a probability variation big hit, the ratio of the second and third effect modes in which three teammate characters A and B are aligned is high (in particular, in the preliminary announcement effect determination table) If the percentage determined in the third effect mode is high) and the display result is usually a big hit, the percentage determined in the fourth and fifth effect modes in which three enemy characters C and D are aligned is particularly high The ratio determined in the 5 presentation modes is set to be high). That is, when the notice effects of the second and third effect modes (particularly, the third effect mode) are executed, there is a high possibility that the display result will be a probability change big hit, and the fourth and fifth effect modes (particularly, the fifth effect mode When the notice effect of) is executed, the display result is usually set to be highly likely to be a big hit. Further, when the display result is a release, in addition to the first effect mode in which the symbols do not match, it is set to be determined to be any of the second effect mode to the fifth effect mode. Therefore, even when the notice effect is executed by any of the second effect mode to the fifth effect mode, the out pattern may be displayed as the stop pattern of the effect pattern (that is, it may become an off) .

  In this embodiment, if a probability change big hit occurs in the probability change state (high probability / high base state), after the big hit game, it shifts to the probability change state again. On the other hand, when a big hit normally occurs, after the big hit game, it is transferred to the normal state (low probability, low base state). In general, it is desirable for a player to generate a big hit (so-called connection) when a positive change is occurring, and that a big hit usually occurs (that is, the positive change (connection) is ended). ) Is not desirable. Therefore, if a combination of three ally characters A and B (especially ally character B) is displayed as the stop symbol of the special effect pattern, there is a high probability that a probability change big hit will occur. Expectations will increase. On the other hand, if a combination of three enemy characters C and D (especially enemy character D) is displayed as the stop symbol of the special effect design, the player is likely to be in a jackpot state because a high probability of generating a big hit is high. A sense of tension that may have ended) will increase, and it will be hoped that the off pattern will be displayed rather than the big hit usually as the stop pattern of the directing pattern.

  As described above, in this embodiment, not only is it suggested that a big hit (probable variation big hit) will occur, but also that it is suggested that the positive variation state is ended by the advance presentation effect that the special production design is variably displayed. Because there is, the production becomes exciting, it is possible to improve the interest.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the notice effect in which the special effect pattern is variably displayed suggests that the probability variation big hit is generated by the different expectation degree in the second effect mode and the third effect mode, and the fourth effect mode In the fifth effect mode, it is configured to indicate that a big hit usually occurs due to different degrees of expectation. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to the presentation mode of the advance presentation effect (i.e., the display result of the fluctuation display of the special presentation symbol), and the interest can be improved.

  In addition, the example shown in FIG. 6 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 6 and a plurality of kinds of probability variation big hit and normal big hit are provided, and the degree of advantage of big hit (for example, number of rounds and number of balls) The display result of the special effect design may be determined in different proportions depending on. That is, the proportion of characters in alignment may be different according to the degree of advantage of the big hit.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 6, and even if the second rendering mode or the third rendering mode is executed and a combination of three ally characters is displayed, the game does not usually cause a big hit. Good. That is, it may be an off or positive variation big hit. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from being largely discouraged by the occurrence of a big hit and termination of the probability change state despite the fact that a combination of three allied characters is displayed. Can. On the other hand, when the notice effect of the fourth effect mode or the fifth effect mode is executed and a combination of three enemy characters is displayed, not only the off or normal big hit but also the probability variation big hit is generated Good. By doing this, even when a combination of three enemy characters is displayed, it is possible to have a sense of expectation that the occurrence of a probability variation big hit will occur. In this case, for example, in the case of the fourth effect mode, the rate of occurrence of exfoliation is higher than the fifth effect mode (that is, the rate at which the big hit can usually be avoided is high). In this case, the probability that the probability variation big hit occurs may be higher than that in the fourth effect mode (or the probability variation big hit may occur only in the fifth effect mode).

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when a big hit normally occurs, after a big hit game, it is transferred to a normal state (low probability, low base state), but not limited to this, time saving state (low) after a big hit game It may be made to shift to a probability (high base state) for a predetermined period.

  Next, a specific example of the advance presentation effect will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the notice effect. As shown in FIG. 7 (A), when the variable display of the effect symbol is started in the effect display device 9, the variable display of the special effect symbol is also started in the special effect display device 90. And as shown to FIG. 7 (B), the fluctuation | variation of a special production | presentation symbol stops in the special production | presentation display apparatus 90 during fluctuation | variation of a production | presentation design, and the stop design of a special production | presentation design is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7 (B), the notice effect is executed in the third effect mode in which three teammate characters B are aligned. Since the notice effect of the third effect mode in which three ally characters B are aligned is suggested to have a high probability of becoming a probability change big hit, it plays a role of enhancing the sense of expectation of the player who desires continuous play.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 7C, the variation of the rendering symbol is stopped in the effect display device 9, and the probability variation big hit symbol (combination of odd number alignment in this example) is displayed. In the example of FIG. 7, although the probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. 6, the off symbol may be stopped and displayed after the notice effect of the third effect mode is performed.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the notice effect. As shown in FIG. 8 (A), when the variable display of the effect symbol is started in the effect display device 9, the variable display of the special effect symbol is also started in the special effect display device 90. And as shown to FIG. 8 (B), the fluctuation | variation of a special production | presentation symbol stops in the special production | presentation display apparatus 90 during fluctuation | variation of a production | presentation design, and the stop design of a special production | presentation design is displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8B, the advance notice effect is executed in the fifth effect mode in which three enemy characters D are aligned. The notice effect of the fifth effect mode in which three enemy characters D are aligned suggests that the possibility of becoming a big hit usually is high, and thus increases the player's sense of tension that the chain may end. Play a role.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8 (C), the variation of the effect pattern is stopped in the effect display device 9, and a normal big hit symbol (combination of even number combinations in this example) is displayed. In the example of FIG. 8, the big hit symbol is normally stopped and displayed, but as shown in FIG. 6, the off symbol may be stopped and displayed after the notice effect of the fifth effect mode is performed.

  In this manner, the notice effect for displaying the special effect pattern in a fluctuating manner is executed when it is in the probability change state, and as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, by suggesting that the player is usually a big hit, the player may be tense that the chain may end. Therefore, the presentation becomes exciting, and the interest can be enhanced.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, after the advantageous state (for example, the big hit gaming state) is ended, it is possible to control to the special state (for example, positive change state) which is advantageous for the player different from the advantageous state. Special variable control execution of the special variable information (for example, special effect pattern) different from the identification information (for example, special symbol or effect pattern) when being controlled to the special state control means and the special information display execution And means. And, the special variable display execution means, as a display result of the variable display of the special identification information, the first display result (for example, the second, the third A combination of alignment of allied characters A and B in the effect mode) and a second display result indicating that the special state ends (for example, a combination of alignment of enemy characters C and D in the fourth and fifth effect modes) Can be derived and displayed. Therefore, as the display result of the variable display of the special identification information, not only being controlled to the advantageous state but also an end of the special state may be suggested, so the presentation can be enhanced and the interest can be improved. .

  Further, in this embodiment, the special variable display execution means can derive and display a plurality of types of first display results (for example, a combination of alignment of allied characters A and B in the second and third effect modes), Depending on which first display result is derived and displayed, the degree of expectation controlled to the advantageous state is different (for example, the method in which the combination display of the teammate characters B in the third rendering mode is stopped and displayed is more probable variation There is a high expectation that a big hit will occur). Therefore, attention can be paid to the type of display result of the variable display of the special identification information, and the interest can be improved.

  Also, in this embodiment, the game area is provided with a winning opening (for example, a special winning opening formed by the second start winning opening 14, the gate 32, and the special variable winning ball device 20), and is launched into the gaming area. A gaming machine to which a predetermined gaming value (for example, winning balls) is given when a game medium (for example, a game ball) wins a winning opening, and the special variable display execution means is provided in the vicinity of the winning port Variable display of the special identification information is performed on the displayed display device (for example, the special effect display device 90). Therefore, the player can check both the presence or absence of a winning on the winning opening and the variable display of the special identification information.

  Further, in this embodiment, the winning opening is a game medium (for example, right-handed) which is shot in a predetermined area (for example, the right side of the game area 7) of the game area when being controlled to the advantageous state Game ball) is provided to be able to win a prize. Therefore, attention can be paid to the variable display of the special identification information.

  In this embodiment, the special state (in this example, the positive change state) is usually ended by the occurrence of a big hit, but instead of or in addition to such a structure, the positive change In the state, we perform a fall lottery that draws whether or not it falls to a normal state separately from the big hit lottery that draws the big hit or not (or a big hit or not, whether it falls or not at the same time) When the player is elected, the positive change state may end and the normal state may be entered. In this case, depending on the display result of the variable display of the special effect symbol, it may be suggested that the player has won the fall lottery or not, by different expectations.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a special state, a configuration is described in which control is performed to a probability change state (high probability and high base state), but instead of or in addition to such a configuration, a time saving state (a special state) It may be configured to control to low probability and high base state). In this case, for example, a mode in which the time saving state is the number of times cut off (a mode in which the time saving state continues until the predetermined number of times of variation display of the special symbol is finished) May be unrecognizable, and it may be suggested that the time saving state is ended or the time saving state is continued with different expectation depending on the display result of the variable display of the special effect design. It should be noted that the probability change state is set to the number of times, and the period controlled to the probability change state is configured so as not to be recognized by the player, and the probability change state is ended by the display result of the variation display of the special effect symbol. Alternatively, the continuation of the definite change state may be indicated by different expectations.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the notice effect by the variation display of the special production symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variation display of the presentation symbol during the fluctuation of the presentation symbol executed simultaneously. (In other words, it indicates that a big change or a big hit usually occurs), but instead of or in addition to such a configuration, a change indication based on any reserved memory, as in the case of so-called pre-reading notice As a display result of the symbol, it may indicate that the probability variation big hit symbol or the normal big hit symbol is stopped and displayed (that is, the probability variation big hit or the normal big hit is generated). In this case, the variable display of the special effect symbol does not have to be performed simultaneously with the variable display of the effect symbol, and may be performed at an arbitrary timing, for example, when a start winning occurs.

  Also, in this embodiment, the notice effect by the variable display of the special effect design suggests that a probability change big hit or a normal big hit will occur, but instead of or in addition to such a configuration, a big hit game It may be suggested by different degrees of expectation that it is executed during, and that so-called probability change promotion and round extension occur, and that it is decided that it is usually a big hit or that round extension does not occur. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, by providing the special effect display device 90 in the vicinity of the special winning opening, attention can be paid to the variable display of the special effect pattern, and in the special effect display device 90, An effect can be performed effectively. In addition, the player can check both the presence or absence of winning in the special winning opening and the variable display of the special effect symbol.

  Also, in this embodiment, the advance notice effect by the variable display of the special effect design is executed only when it is in the special state (for example, when it is in the positive change state), but the normal state (low probability / low base state) It may also be performed when it is, and may indicate that a big hit will occur with different expectations. That is, the special effect display device 90 may be used for various other advance effects. By doing this, various effects can be performed using the special effect display device 90, and the interest can be enhanced.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, both the gate 32 and the second start winning opening 14 are provided on the right side of the game area, but at least when in the high base state If configured to be advantageous, for example, the gate 32 is provided on the right side of the game area, and the second start winning opening 14 is provided near the center of the game area (for example, above the big game opening). May be Even if configured in this manner, if the special effect display device 90 is provided in the vicinity of the gate 32 or the second start winning opening 14, the special effect display device 90 can effectively produce effects. In addition, the player can check both the presence or absence of winning on the gate 32 or the second start winning opening 14 and the variable display of the special effect symbol.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, when the variation control is started to notify the microcomputer for effect control 100 of the variation pattern indicating the variation mode such as the variation time and the type of reach effect and the presence or absence of the pseudo sequence. Although an example in which one variation pattern command is transmitted is shown, the variation pattern may be notified to the effect control microcomputer 100 by two or more commands. Specifically, when notified by two commands, the microcomputer 560 for gaming control is the first command before reaching reach, such as presence or absence of pseudo sequence, presence or absence of slip effect (if it does not reach, so-called Send a command indicating the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode before the second stop, and the second command after reaching reach such as reach type and re-lottery effect (if it does not reach, so-called (2) after the stop may be transmitted a command indicating a fluctuation time or a fluctuation mode. In this case, the effect control microcomputer 100 may perform effect control in the fluctuation display based on the fluctuation time derived from the combination of two commands. The game control microcomputer 560 notifies the fluctuation time by each of the two commands, and the effect control microcomputer 100 selects a specific fluctuation mode to be executed at each timing. You may When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, and after sending a first command, after a predetermined period has elapsed (for example, the next timer interrupt) And the second command may be sent. In addition, the fluctuation | variation aspect shown by each command is not necessarily limited to this example, It can change suitably also about the order to transmit. In this way, by notifying the fluctuation pattern by two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data which has to be stored as the fluctuation pattern command.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, "the proportions are different" means that the proportions are different only in relation such as A: B = 70%: 30% or A: B = 30%: 70%. , A: B = 100%: 0%, and the like is also a concept including ones with different proportions (ie, one with 100% allocation and the other with 0% allocation).

  In each of the above-described embodiments, for example, the case of variably displaying a plurality of types of special symbols, effect symbols, and normal symbols of “1” to “9” and deriving and displaying the display result has been shown. It is not limited to such an aspect. For example, the symbol to be variably displayed and the symbol to be derived and displayed do not necessarily have to be the same, and a symbol different from the symbol displayed to be variably displayed may be derived and displayed. Moreover, it is not necessary to variably display a plurality of types of symbols, and variable display may be performed using only one type of symbol. In this case, for example, the variable display may be performed by alternately repeating lighting and blinking of the one type of symbol display. And even in this case, one kind of symbol used for the variable display may be derived and displayed at the end, or a symbol different from the one kind of symbol is finally derived and displayed It may be one.
