  The pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment is provided with a probability fluctuation state of a big hit lottery as a gaming state advantageous to the player. A big hit lottery probability fluctuation state (high probability state) is a gaming state in which the big hit probability of winning the big hit in the big hit lottery is changed to a high probability compared to the gaming state (low probability state) which is not the big hit lottery probability changing state. It is. In the present embodiment, the probability fluctuation state of the jackpot lottery is given until a predetermined probability fluctuation termination condition is satisfied. In the following description, the term “probability fluctuation state” or simply abbreviated “probability state” refers to the probability fluctuation state of the jackpot lottery, and the “non-probability state” or the abbreviation “non-probability state”. In the case of showing "," it refers to the gaming state which is not the probability fluctuation state of the big hit lottery.

  The pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment is provided with a high base state as a gaming state advantageous to the player. The high base state is a game state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start winning opening 22a than the low base state which is not the high base state. The high base state is a so-called "power support state".

  For example, the high base state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or by executing a plurality of controls in combination. The first control is the fluctuation time shortening control of the common drawing game in which the fluctuation time of the common drawing game is shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is probability fluctuation control of a regular hit lottery that changes the probability of winning a normal hit lottery (normal hit probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an open time extension control that makes the total open time of the opening and closing member 22b longer based on the winning of the normal winning lottery than in the low base state. Note that, as the open time extension control, control for increasing the number of times of opening and closing of the opening and closing member 22b based on winning the normal winning lottery than in the low base state, and of the opening and closing member 22b based on winning the normal winning lottery At least one control may be executed out of the control for making one open time longer than in the low base state. In the present embodiment, the fourth control is executed in the high base state. The fourth control is fluctuation time reduction control of the fluctuation game which makes the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game (for example, the average fluctuation time) shorter than in the low base state. When executing the fluctuation time reduction control of the fluctuation game, the high base state is a so-called “variation time reduction state”. In the present embodiment, the high base state is applied until a predetermined high base end condition is satisfied. Note that the high base state may be given even during the positive change state. In other words, the probability change state and the high base state are game states that can be awarded in duplicate.

  In the present embodiment, the first start winning opening 21 is provided below the second effect display device 17, and the first flow path X on the left side of the game board YB is the first one on the right side of the game board YB. It becomes easier for the game ball to enter the ball than to let the two flow paths Y flow down. Therefore, in a low base state in which the game ball is difficult to enter the second start winning opening 22a, the game ball is allowed to flow down the first flow path X in order to cause the game ball to enter the first start winning opening 21. Tend to fire.

  On the other hand, on the right side of the first effect display device 16, the operation gate 25, the second start winning opening 22a, and the special winning opening 23a are provided in order from the upper side. As compared with flowing down the first flow path X, the game ball can more easily enter the operation gate 25, the second start winning opening 22a, and the big winning opening 23a. Therefore, in a high base state in which the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening 22a, the game ball is allowed to flow down the second flow path Y in order to cause the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 22a. Tend to fire. Also in the big hit game, in order to make the game ball enter the big winning opening 23a, there is a tendency for the game ball to be fired so as to flow down the second flow path Y.

Next, the big hit game in the present embodiment will be described.
The big hit game is started after the end of the variation game in which the big hit symbol has been set and stopped. When the big hit game starts, the opening time starts. When the opening time is over, a round game in which the big winning opening 23a is opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of prescribed rounds as the upper limit. One round game is continuously performed until the upper limit number of entering balls reaches the large winning opening 23a or until a predetermined time elapses. When all round games are over, an ending time is set. When the ending time is over, the big hit game is over.

  In the present embodiment, when a big hit lottery is won, one big hit among multiple types of big hits is determined according to the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) to be determined, and a big hit game corresponding to the determined big hit It is supposed to be granted.

Here, the specifications of the so-called pachinko gaming machine such as the jackpot probability and the contents of the jackpot game will be described.

Similarly, among the big hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display device 12 with a fixed stop, 65 types of big hit symbols are assigned to the symbol Za, and 35 big hit symbols are assigned to the symbol Zb. There is.

  The big hit symbol classified as symbol ZA will be displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 as a fixed stop. The big hit symbol classified as "big hit A", symbol Za is fixed to the second special symbol display device 12. The displayed big hit is indicated as "big hit a", respectively. Similarly, a big hit symbol classified as symbol ZB is displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 as a fixed stop displayed as a "big hit B", a big hit symbol classified as symbol Zb is the second special symbol display device 12 The big hit displayed as the fixed stop is indicated as "big hit b".

  In all these big hit games, "15 times" is defined as the specified number of rounds, and "25s" is defined as the maximum time of each round game. In addition, “9” is defined as the upper limit number of game balls that can enter the large winning opening 23 a in one round game. Further, in each jackpot game, an opening time, an interval time between rounds (interval between rounds), and an ending time are respectively defined as fixed times.

  After the end of the jackpot game awarded when the jackpot A, a is won, a definite change state is awarded until the next jackpot game is awarded. On the other hand, no definite change state is awarded after the end of the jackpot game awarded when the jackpot B, b is won. A big hit A, a which is given a definite change state after the end of the big hit game is shown as a true change big hit, and a big hit B, b where the positive change state is not given after the big hit game is shown as a non definite change big hit.

  After the end of the jackpot game awarded when the jackpot A, a is won, the high base state is awarded until the next jackpot game is awarded. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game awarded when the big hit B, b is won, the high base state is given with the fluctuation game as the upper limit of a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment).

  A display control program for displaying an image is stored in the display control ROM 32b. When the display control CPU 32a receives various control commands, it executes various controls based on the display control program. The display control ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as effect patterns, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control board 32 is connected to the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device 17. When the display control CPU 32a inputs various control commands, it controls the display contents of the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device 17 based on the display control program.

  Next, various processing such as special symbol input processing and special symbol start processing executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, special symbol input processing will be described. The special symbol input process is performed by the main control CPU 30a at predetermined intervals.

  The main control CPU 30a executes the first hold determination that determines whether or not the gaming ball has entered the first start winning opening 21 based on whether or not the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input. Do.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 21), the main control CPU 30a sets the first hold storage number to an upper limit number ("4" in this embodiment). The first pending storage number determination is performed to determine whether or not it is smaller than.

  When the determination result of the first pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number is not reached), the main control CPU 30a executes the first pending control process. In the first hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process. The main control CPU 30a adds "1" to the first pending storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a controls the first hold display device 13 so as to display the updated first hold storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for specifying the updated first hold storage count to the general control board 31 (general control CPU 31a). The main control CPU 30a acquires values of various random numbers related to the first variation game, and stores the values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. In addition, the values of various random numbers related to the first variation game are stored so that the acquisition order acquired in response to the entry of the game ball to the first start winning opening 21 can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game ball enters the first starting winning opening 21 when the first number of pending storages has not reached the upper limit number, the starting condition of the first variation game is satisfied. .

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (if the gaming ball does not enter the first start winning opening 21), or if the determination result of the first hold storage number determination is negative (first) When the upper limit of the number of pending storages has been reached), the main control CPU 30a does not execute the first pending control process.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has entered the second start winning opening 22a based on whether or not the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input. Execute the judgment.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the game ball enters the second start winning opening 22a), the main control CPU 30a sets the second hold storage number to an upper limit number ("4" in this embodiment). The second pending storage number determination is performed to determine whether or not it is smaller than.

  When the determination result of the second pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number is not reached), the main control CPU 30a executes a second pending control process. In the second hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process. The main control CPU 30 a adds “1” to the second pending storage number stored in the main control RAM 30 c. The main control CPU 30a controls the second hold display device 14 so as to display the updated second hold storage number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs to the central control board 31 a hold designation command for specifying the updated second hold storage count. The main control CPU 30a acquires values of various random numbers related to the second variation game, and stores the values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. In addition, the values of various random numbers related to the second variation game are stored so that the acquisition order acquired in accordance with the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 22a can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game ball enters the second start winning opening 22a when the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit number, the start condition of the second variation game is satisfied. .

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the second hold determination is negative (if the gaming ball has not entered the second start winning opening 22a), or if the determination result of the second hold storage number determination is negative (second When the upper limit of the number of pending storages has been reached), the main control CPU 30a does not execute the second pending control process.

Next, special symbol start processing will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute the special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
The main control CPU 30a specifies the second pending storage number and determines whether the second pending storage number is larger than “0” when the big hit game and the variation game are not being executed. When the second pending storage number is “0”, the main control CPU 30 a identifies the first pending storage number, and determines whether the first pending storage number is larger than “0”. Then, when the first number of pending storages is "0", the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  In the present embodiment, when the big hit game and the variation game are not being executed, and the second number of pending storages is larger than “0” (that is, there is a second variation game whose execution is suspended. ), The execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied. On the other hand, when the big hit game and the fluctuation game are not being executed, and the execution condition of the second fluctuation game is not satisfied, and the first number of pending memories is larger than “0” (that is, the execution is suspended When the first variation game being played exists, the execution condition of the first variation game is established. As described above, when both the start condition of the first change game and the start condition of the second change game are satisfied, the execution condition of the second change game is satisfied, and the main control CPU 30 a Run the variation game with priority.

  When the execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the random number related to the first variation game (the value of the random number for hitting determination, the value of the variation pattern distribution random number, the random number for special symbol distribution The value of the random number related to the first variation game to be executed first according to the acquisition order among the value of (1) and the value of the reach determination random number) is read out from the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a subtracts one from the specified first holding storage number, and changes the display content of the first holding display device 13 so as to display the subtracted first holding storage number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs, to the central control board 31, a hold designation command indicating the updated number of first holding memories.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read hit determination random number matches the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (in the case of big hit), the main control CPU 30a selects the first special symbol display device 11 from among the big hit symbols by the special symbol based on the read value of the special symbol allotment random number read out. The final stop symbol to be displayed is determined. By this, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the big hit corresponding to the final stop symbol to be displayed as the fixed stop. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from among the big hit fluctuation patterns, based on the read value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the first fluctuation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the general control board 31 at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a fluctuation pattern designation command which designates the fluctuation pattern and instructs the start of the fluctuation game. The variation pattern specification command is a command that can specify which of the first variation game and the second variation game is to be executed. The main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 11 so as to start variable display of the special symbol. The main control CPU 30a starts measuring the fluctuation time of the first fluctuation game. The main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol and the type of the big hit. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the first special symbol display device so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the fluctuation time defined in the designated fluctuation pattern. Control 11 display contents. The main control CPU 30a instructs the end of the fluctuation game based on the fluctuation time defined in the designated fluctuation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the effect pattern in a fixed stop display.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when it is not the big hit), the main control CPU 30a performs the reach determination to determine whether or not the reach effect is to be executed. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a makes a winning determination based on whether or not the read out value for the reach determination random number matches the reach determination value.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (if reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol to be displayed as a fixed stop by the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from the outlying reach fluctuation patterns based on the read value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design executes various processing related to the fluctuation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the general control board 31 at a predetermined timing, as in the big hit. Do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol to be displayed as a fixed stop by the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from among outlier fluctuation patterns based on the read value of the fluctuation pattern allocation random number.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design executes various processing related to the fluctuation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the general control board 31 at a predetermined timing, as in the big hit. Do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the random number related to the second variation game (the value of the random number for hitting determination, the value of the variation pattern distribution random number, the special symbol distribution The value of the random number related to the second variation game to be executed first according to the acquisition order among the value of the random number for random and the value of the random number for reach determination) is read out from the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a subtracts one from the specified second holding storage number, and changes the display content of the second holding display device 14 so as to display the subtracted second holding storage number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs, to the central control board 31, a hold designation command indicating the updated second hold storage count.

  Hereinafter, based on the value of the read random number, processing relating to the second variation game is executed, but since it is similar to the processing in the first variation game, detailed description will be omitted. In the processing relating to the second variation game, the control for the above-mentioned "first variation game" is read as the control for the "second variation game" and the above-mentioned "first special symbol display device 11" is targeted The control is read as control for the “second special symbol display device 12”.

  The main control CPU 30a starts control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the big hit variation game, and outputs a predetermined control command to the general control board 31 at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts an opening time triggered by the start of the big hit game, and outputs an opening command instructing the opening time to start to the general control board 31.

  Next, after the end of the opening time, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game, and outputs a round command instructing start of the round game to the general control board 31 at the start of each round game. The main control CPU 30a controls the big winning opening 23a to the open state and the closed state every round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a sets the large winning opening 23a in a predetermined opening mode until the game balls of the upper limit number of balls reach a winning or until a prescribed time determined in advance for each round game elapses. Control to open.

  When the round game is over, the main control CPU 30a controls the large winning opening 23a to the closed state, and closes the large winning opening 23a until the round interval time determined in advance for each round game has elapsed. maintain. A series of these controls are executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the round game of the prescribed number of rounds ends, the main control CPU 30a starts an ending time, and outputs an ending command instructing the beginning of the ending time to the central control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  When the big hit game is ended, when the main control CPU 30a gives the positive variation state based on the determined big hit type (the type of the special symbol), the primary probability change flag is assigned the positive variation state Set a value indicating. On the other hand, when the positive control state is not given, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the positive change state is not given to the main probability change flag. When the big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the value of the main probability change flag.

  When the big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the high base state is given to the main operation flag. The main control CPU 30a is a value indicating the number of times the high base state is to be applied when the high base state is assigned the upper limit with the fluctuation game as the upper limit number of times (100 in the present embodiment) based on the type of big hit Is set to the main operation number flag. The main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the main actuation number flag each time the variation game is executed, and resets the value of the main actuation flag when it becomes “0”. The main control CPU 30a generates an operation number specification command specifying the value set in the main operation number flag, and stores it in a predetermined area of the main control RAM 30c. The operation number designation command is output to the central control board 31 in a command output process different from the present process. When the big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag.

  Next, various processes executed by the central control CPU 31a of the general control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall control CPU 31a executes various processes in accordance therewith.

  For example, when the overall control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern specification command and a special symbol specification command, the fixed stop display is displayed based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command and the final stop symbol specified by the special symbol specification command. Determine the symbol combination by the effect pattern to be let.

  That is, when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is the big hit symbol, the overall control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the big hit. When the designated final stop symbol is an out symbol and the outreach reach fluctuation pattern is designated, the overall control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of outreach. When the designated final stop symbol is an out symbol, the overall control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of out when the outlier fluctuation pattern is designated.

  When receiving the fluctuation pattern designation command, the overall control CPU 31a determines the contents of the rendering effect associated with the fluctuation game (render symbol fluctuation game) based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. Then, the overall control CPU 31a displays and controls a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern, an effect symbol designation command for designating an effect pattern to be displayed on a fixed stop, and an effect content designation command for designating the determined effect content. Output to 32. Further, the overall control CPU 31a controls the decoration lamp LA and the speaker SP so as to execute the effect accompanying the fluctuation game (render symbol fluctuation game) with the determined effect contents. Thereafter, when the overall control stop command is input, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the full control stop command to the display control board 32, and ends the effect accompanying the variation game.

  When the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall control CPU 31a, after the end of the big hit game, based on the big hit symbol, when a positive variation state is given, a value indicating that a positive variation state is given Set to sub definite change flag.

  When the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall control CPU 31a indicates that the high base condition is given when the high base condition is given based on the big hit symbol after the end of the big hit game. Set the value to the sub operation flag. When the high base state is given, the central control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the number of change games giving the high base state to the sub actuation number counter. The central control CPU 31a updates the value of the sub actuation frequency counter based on the value designated by the actuation frequency designation command. When the value of the sub actuation frequency counter becomes “0”, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the high base state is not provided to the sub actuation flag.

  Next, various processes executed by the display control CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the general control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing, the display control CPU 32a executes various processes in accordance therewith.

  For example, when the variation control command is input, the display control CPU 32a controls the first effect display device 16 to execute the effect pattern variation game based on the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command. In addition, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an effect content specification command, the first effect display device causes the effect accompanying the fluctuation game (effect pattern fluctuation game) to be executed with the effect content specified by the effect content specification command. 16 and the second effect display device 17 are controlled. Thereafter, when the all-pattern stop command is input, the display control CPU 32a ends the effect accompanying the variation game and causes the symbol combination of the effect symbols designated by the effect symbol specification command to be displayed on a fixed stop.

  In the present embodiment, in the high base state, a music reproduction effect is performed in which a music by a predetermined artist is reproduced. The music reproduction effect is an effect using a moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16, a moving image displayed on the second effect display device 17, an audio output from the speaker SP, and the like. The music reproduction effect is an effect in which moving images and sounds corresponding to any one of a plurality of types of music are reproduced. That is, each of the moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16, the moving image displayed on the second effect display device 17, and the sound output from the speaker SP is classified according to the effect type of music. It can be said that it is associated with the effect type.

  Further, in accordance with the selection operation (operation) by the effect button BT, it is possible to select music to be reproduced from a plurality of types of music. In other words, in the music reproduction effect, the music to be reproduced can be changed according to the selection operation (operation) of the effect button BT, but various effects such as the first effect display device 16, the second effect display device 17, and the speaker SP The timing at which the music is changed differs depending on the target. Specifically, at the timing when the selection operation by the effect button BT is performed, the music corresponding to the moving image displayed on the second effect display device 17 and the music corresponding to the sound output from the speaker SP are changed However, the music corresponding to the moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16 is not changed, and the moving image corresponding to the previous music is continuously displayed. Then, a predetermined condition is satisfied at a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the selection operation by the effect button BT is performed, and the music corresponding to the moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16 is changed. Become.

Here, with reference to FIG.3 and FIG.4, the presentation aspect of a music reproduction presentation is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the first image display unit GH1 of the first effect display device 16, the effect pattern is variably displayed. Then, in the first image display unit GH1, a moving image corresponding to the music being reproduced, such as a moving image sung by a singer as a predetermined artist, is displayed as a background image. In the first image display section GH1, a music type image (for example, an image showing "PV01") indicating the type of music being played back, or a lyrics telop image (for convenience in the figure " It is displayed as "lyric telop".

  On the other hand, in the second image display section GH2 of the second effect display device 17, the singer sings as a predetermined artist, and corresponds to the music being reproduced, such as a moving image played by a guitar player or a bass player. A moving image is displayed as a background image. As described above, in the first image display unit GH1 of the first effect display device 16 and the second image display unit GH2 of the second effect display device 17, moving images having the same reproduction time are displayed with the same type of music ( Although reproduced), moving images of different display modes (for example, different angles) are displayed. In addition, in the second image display unit GH2, a music type image (for example, an image indicating "PV01") indicating the type of music being reproduced is displayed. In addition, in the second image display unit GH2, a selection image for prompting a selection operation of music, such as "PV change by button operation", is displayed separately from the moving image related to the music being reproduced.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in the first image display unit GH1 and the second image display unit GH2, a moving image corresponding to the music PV01 being reproduced is displayed, and the speaker SP corresponds to the music PV01. Audio is being output.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the selection operation of the effect button BT is performed to change the music PV01 to the music PV02, in the second image display unit GH2, the music PV02 corresponding to the selection operation is performed. The corresponding moving image is displayed, and the sound corresponding to the music PV02 is output from the speaker SP. In this case, the moving image corresponding to the music PV02 in the second image display section GH2 is not from the reproduction start time (0s, first, the beginning), but a cut that becomes a sight (so-called "rust") of the music PV02 It is reproduced from the in time (for example, 2 m 10 s). Similarly, the sound corresponding to the music PV02 from the speaker SP is reproduced not from the reproduction start time but from the cut-in time. On the other hand, in the first image display unit GH1, a moving image corresponding to the music PV01 prior to the selection operation is continuously displayed, not the music PV02 corresponding to the selection operation.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4C, when a predetermined time has passed since the selection operation was performed, also in the first image display unit GH1, a moving image corresponding to the music PV02 according to the selection operation Is displayed from the playback start time. In this case, similarly as the moving image corresponding to the music PV02 in the first image display unit GH1 and the second image display GH2, and as the sound corresponding to the music PV02 from the speaker SP, it is similarly reproduced from the reproduction start time Ru.

  In addition, when the selection operation of the effect button BT is further performed to change the music PV02 to the music PV03 before the predetermined time elapses after the selection operation is performed, in the second image display unit GH2, A moving image corresponding to the music PV03 corresponding to the selection operation is displayed, and an audio corresponding to the music PV03 is output from the speaker SP. On the other hand, in the first image display unit GH1, a moving image corresponding to the music PV01 prior to the first selection operation is continuously displayed, not the music PV03 corresponding to the selection operation.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4D, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the selection operation immediately before changing to the music PV03, the first image display unit GH1 also responds to the selection operation. A moving image corresponding to the music PV03 is displayed.

  Here, the execution timing of various effects will be described with reference to FIG. 5 (a). In FIG. 5 (a), the type of music to be reproduced and the reproduction time are shown for each effect object, and the first effect display device 16 as the effect object is the second effect display as the "first display". The devices 17 are each shown as a "second display".

  As shown to Fig.5 (a), at the timing shown to code | symbol T10, in all the presentation objects (1st presentation display apparatus 16, 2nd presentation display apparatus 17, and speaker SP), the presentation corresponding to music PV01 is performed ing.

  Then, when the selection operation for changing to the music PV02 is performed when the effects corresponding to the music PV01 for all of the effects become a predetermined time (for example, 1 m50s) at the timing indicated by the code T11, the second effect display device In 17 and the speaker SP, an effect corresponding to the music PV 02 is started from a cut-in time (for example, 2 m 10 s) according to the selection operation. On the other hand, even if the selection operation for changing to the music PV02 is performed, in the first effect display device 16, an effect corresponding to the music PV01 prior to the selection operation is continuously executed (for example, 1 m50 s).

  Subsequently, when a predetermined time elapses from the timing shown by the code T11, at all the rendering objects at the timing shown by the code T12, the rendering corresponding to the music PV02 starts from the reproduction start time (0 s) according to the selection operation. Be done.

  In the present embodiment, when the selection operation is performed a plurality of times and a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous selection operation, the music finally selected by the selection operation is displayed on the first effect display device It may be the same type as the music corresponding to the moving image being played. In this case, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, in the first effect display device 16, the second effect display device 17, and the speaker SP, the effect corresponding to the music finally selected by the selection operation is started from the reproduction start time It will be. As a specific example, if the selection operation for changing to music PV02 and the selection operation for changing to music PV01 are sequentially performed while music PV01 is being reproduced, the music PV01 is reproduced when a predetermined condition is satisfied. It will be played from the start time. As described above, when a specific music is selected again by the selection operation, the specific music can be reproduced from the reproduction start time.

Here, with reference to FIG. 6, a plurality of types of effect data for executing music reproduction effects will be described.
A plurality of types of effect data for executing music reproduction effects include a plurality of types of moving image data for displaying moving images and a plurality of types of audio data for outputting sound. The moving image data is stored in the display control ROM 32b, and the audio data is stored in the central control ROM 31b.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the display control ROM 32b stores a moving image data table in which information on moving image data is associated. In the moving image data table, effect designation information, music type information, effect object information, full-length playback time information, and cut-in time information are associated with each other.

  The effect designation information is information that designates moving image data, such as PV 01A, for example. The music type information is information for specifying the type of music based on moving image data, such as PV01. The presentation object information includes moving image data such as a first presentation display device 16 (shown as "first display" in the figure) and a second presentation display device 17 (shown in the figure as "second display") It is information which shows with the presentation object on which the moving image based is displayed. The full-length reproduction time information (shown as “reproduction time” in the drawing) is information for specifying the total length of the reproduction time of moving image data. The cut-in time information is information for specifying a cut-in time of moving image data. That is, the cut-in time is a prescribed time different from the reproduction start time within the entire reproduction time.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the general control ROM 31b stores an audio data table in which information on audio data is associated. Also in the audio data table, as in the moving image data table, the effect specification information, the music type information, the effect target information, the full-length playback time information, and the cut-in time information are associated.

  Although description is omitted for the items that overlap with the moving image data table, the effect specifying information is information that specifies audio data, such as PV01C. The presentation target information is information indicating that the speaker SP is associated and that the presentation target is to output the sound based on the sound data.

  As described above, the display control ROM 32 b stores various moving image data and information related to the moving image data, and the general control ROM 31 b stores various audio data and information related to the audio data. There is. In particular, the display control ROM 32b includes, for each type of music, moving image data (first moving image data) for the first effect display device 16 as an effect target and moving image data for the second effect display device 17 as an effect object Image data (second moving image data) is stored. Further, in the moving image data table and the audio data table, the full-length playback time information corresponding to the same type of music is the same, and the cut-in time information corresponding to the same type of music is the same. Thus, the display of the first moving image based on the first moving image data for the first effect display device 16 and the second based on the second moving image data for the second effect display device 17. The display of the moving image and the output of the sound based on the sound data whose effect is the speaker SP are associated in chronological order. And, by performing the display of the first moving image, the display of the second moving image, and the output of the sound to be the same reproduction time, it is possible that the effects in these various effects can be executed synchronously. Become.

  Here, the music reproduction effect control process executed by the central control CPU 31a will be described. The music reproduction effect control process is executed when the high base state is given after the end of the big hit game.

  In this process, the central control CPU 31a refers to the value of the music flag assigned to the predetermined area of the general control RAM 31c. A first music flag in which information indicating the type of music corresponding to the moving image in the first effect display device 16 is stored in the music flag assigned to the predetermined area of the general control RAM 31c, and the second effect display device 17 There is a second music flag in which information indicating the type of music corresponding to the moving image and the sound from the speaker SP is stored. In the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, the music corresponding to the value set in the first music flag and the music corresponding to the value set in the second music flag will be the same music Is controlled by

  The central control CPU 31a reads the value from the second music flag, specifies the music, refers to the audio data table, and reads the audio data corresponding to the specified music. Then, the central control CPU 31a performs control to start reproduction of audio data from the reproduction start time. By this, the central control CPU 31a reproduces the sound corresponding to the value set in the second music flag from the reproduction start time.

  In addition, the central control CPU 31a reads a value from the first music flag, identifies the music, and generates a moving image of the music corresponding to the value set in the first music flag from the reproduction start time and the first effect display device 16 A moving image designation command for designating display on both the second effect display device 17 is set in a predetermined area of the general control RAM 31 c. Then, in a process different from the music reproduction effect control process, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the set moving image designation command to the display control board 32.

  On the other hand, when such a moving image designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a sets a value specifying the type of music in the music flag assigned to the predetermined area of the display control RAM 32c. Information indicating the type of music corresponding to a moving image in the first effect display device 16 is stored in the music flag assigned to the predetermined area of the display control RAM 32c in the same manner as the predetermined area of the general control RAM 31c. There is a third music flag, and a fourth music flag in which information indicating the type of music corresponding to the moving image in the second effect display device 17 is stored.

  The display control CPU 32a sets values for specifying the type of music in the third music flag and the fourth music flag. The display control CPU 32a reads out the value from the third music flag, specifies the music, refers to the moving image data table, and corresponds to the specified music while moving image data for which the first effect display device 16 is to be rendered Read out. Then, the display control CPU 32a controls the first effect display device 16 to start reproduction of moving image data from the reproduction start time.

  Similarly, the display control CPU 32a reads the value from the fourth music flag, specifies the music, refers to the moving image data table, and corresponds to the specified music while the second effect display device 17 produces an effect. Read out the target moving image data. Then, the display control CPU 32 a performs control of causing the second effect display device 17 to start reproduction of moving image data from the reproduction start time. Thus, the display control CPU 32a uses the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device from the reproduction start time of the moving image of the specified music based on the moving image data of the music specified by the moving image specification command. 17 will be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, when the selection operation of the effect button BT is not performed, effects corresponding to the designated music are executed in chronological order in the first effect display device 16, the second effect display device 17, and the speaker SP. When the awarding of the high base state is finished, or when the big hit game is started, the execution of the effect corresponding to the designated music is finished.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, an effect selection process executed by the central control CPU 31 a will be described. The effect selection process is performed in a predetermined cycle.
As shown in FIG. 7, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether a selection operation has been performed (step S101). In the present embodiment, in the high base state, it is determined whether or not the selection operation has been performed according to the operation signal from the effect button BT, but in the low base state or in the big hit game If it is, it is determined that the selection operation has not been performed.

  If it is determined that the selection operation has not been performed, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S105 without performing steps S102 to S104. On the other hand, when it is determined that the selection operation has been performed, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S102.

  In step S102, the central control CPU 31a executes a process of updating information related to an effect according to the selection operation, and proceeds to step S103. Specifically, the central control CPU 31a sets a predetermined value (for example, a value for specifying the elapse of 5 seconds) in a counting timer allocated to a predetermined area of the general control RAM 31c. In addition, the central control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the type of music selected in accordance with the selection operation in the second music flag.

  The counting timer is a timer for specifying that the time until the moving image in the first effect display device 16 is changed has elapsed, and is a predetermined time after the selection operation for selecting the type of music is started Is a timer for identifying that has elapsed. In the process different from the effect selection process, the general control CPU 31a can specify that a predetermined time has elapsed by updating the counting timer at a predetermined cycle. Further, in the present embodiment, when the next selection operation is performed before the predetermined time elapses from the previous selection operation, it is specified whether a predetermined time has elapsed from the next selection operation. It will be done. That is, it is specified whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the last selection operation.

  In step S103, the central control CPU 31a executes voice output control processing according to the selection operation, and proceeds to step S104. Specifically, when a selection operation for selecting a music is performed, a value indicating the type of music corresponding to the selection operation is set to the second music flag, but the overall control CPU 31a uses the value from the second music flag Are read out, and the audio data corresponding to the music according to the selection operation and the cut-in time are read out with reference to the audio data table. Then, the central control CPU 31a performs control to start reproduction of audio data from the cut-in time. By this, the central control CPU 31a reproduces the sound of the selected music from the cut-in time based on the sound data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  As described above, the central control CPU 31a is selected based on the audio data corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, triggered by the selection of the music by the selection operation of the effect button BT. The sound corresponding to the music is to be output from the speaker SP. In other words, the central control CPU 31a uses the sound corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT as the sound output from the speaker SP when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT. It can be changed.

  In step S104, the overall control CPU 31a sets a moving image designation command corresponding to the selection operation in a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c, and proceeds to step S105. In this case, the general control CPU 31a is a moving image designation command for specifying that the moving image of the music selected according to the selection operation is to be displayed on the second effect display device 17 from the cut-in time. It will be set in the area. Then, in a process different from the effect selection process, the central control CPU 31 a outputs the set moving image designation command to the display control board 32.

  On the other hand, when such a moving image designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a sets a value specifying the type of the selected music in the fourth music flag. The display control CPU 32a reads out the value from the fourth music flag, refers to the moving image data table, and corresponds to the selected music while moving image data to be rendered by the second effect display device 17, and cut-in Read time and time. Then, the display control CPU 32a controls the second effect display device 17 to start reproduction of moving image data from the cut-in time. As a result, the display control CPU 32a causes the second effect display device 17 to display the moving image of the selected music from the cut-in time based on the moving image data of the music selected by the selection operation. In this case, in the display control regarding the first effect display device 16, a predetermined moving image is continuously displayed regardless of the input of the moving image designation command.

  Thus, the display control CPU 32a is selected based on moving image data corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, triggered by the selection of the music by the selection operation of the effect button BT. The moving image corresponding to the music piece is displayed on the second effect display device 17. In other words, the display control CPU 32a selects the moving image to be displayed on the second effect display device 17 by the selection operation of the effect button BT, triggered by the selection of the music by the selection operation of the effect button BT. It can be changed to a moving image corresponding to

  In addition, the display control CPU 32a is a moving image corresponding to the music reproduced up to the last time, not the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT. Based on the image data, a moving image corresponding to the music that has been reproduced until just before is displayed on the first effect display device 16. In other words, the display control CPU 32a can not change the moving image to be displayed on the first effect display device 16 when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT.

  Returning to the explanation, in step S105, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition is satisfied when a predetermined time has elapsed since the last selection operation. That is, based on the value of the counting timer, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied based on whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the last selection operation.

  If it is determined that the predetermined condition is not established, the overall control CPU 31a ends the effect selection process without executing steps S106 to S108. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S106.

  In step S106, the central control CPU 31a executes a process of updating information related to an effect according to the establishment of the predetermined condition, and proceeds to step S107. Specifically, the central control CPU 31a sets, in the first music flag, a value indicating the type of music selected according to the previous selection operation. That is, in step S102, the general control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the type of the music selected according to the selection operation in the second music flag in response to the selection operation, and a predetermined time has elapsed since the last selection operation. After elapse of time, a value indicating the type of music selected according to the selection operation will be set as the first music flag.

  In step S107, the central control CPU 31a executes an audio output control process according to the establishment of the predetermined condition, and shifts to step S108. Specifically, when a selection operation for selecting a music is performed, the overall control CPU 31a reads a value from the second music flag, refers to the audio data table, and reads audio data corresponding to the selected music. . Then, the central control CPU 31a performs control to start reproduction of audio data from the reproduction start time. Thus, the overall control CPU 31a reproduces the sound of the selected music from the reproduction start time based on the sound data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  As described above, when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, the overall control CPU 31a causes the sound corresponding to the selected music to be output from the reproduction start time, triggered by the establishment of the predetermined condition. It becomes. In particular, the general control CPU 31a is triggered by the establishment of the predetermined condition even when the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT is the same type of music as before the selection operation. The voice corresponding to the selected music is output from the reproduction start time.

  In step S108, the overall control CPU 31a sets a moving image designation command according to the establishment of the predetermined condition in a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c, and ends the effect selection process. In this case, the central control CPU 31a specifies that the moving image of the music selected according to the previous selection operation be displayed on both the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device 17 from the reproduction start time. The moving image designation command to be set is set in a predetermined area of the general control RAM 31c. Then, in a process different from the effect selection process, the central control CPU 31 a outputs the set moving image designation command to the display control board 32.

  On the other hand, when such a moving image designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a sets a value specifying the type of the selected music in the third music flag. The display control CPU 32a reads a value from the third music flag, refers to the moving image data table, and reads moving image data that corresponds to the selected music and that the first effect display device 16 is to be rendered. Then, the display control CPU 32a controls the first effect display device 16 to start reproduction of moving image data from the reproduction start time. By this, the display control CPU 32a causes the first effect display device 16 to display the moving image of the selected music from the reproduction start time based on the moving image data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  As described above, when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, the display control CPU 32a causes the moving image corresponding to the selected music to be played back from the reproduction start time secondly, triggered by the establishment of the predetermined condition. It will be displayed on the effect display device 17. In particular, even when the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT is the same type of music as before the selection operation, the display control CPU 32a is triggered by the establishment of the predetermined condition. The moving image corresponding to the selected music is displayed from the reproduction start time.

  In addition, the display control CPU 32a reads a value from the fourth music flag, refers to the moving image data table, and reads moving image data corresponding to the selected music and the second effect display device 17 to be rendered . Then, the display control CPU 32 a performs control of causing the second effect display device 17 to start reproduction of moving image data from the reproduction start time. By this, the display control CPU 32a causes the second effect display device 17 to display the moving image of the selected music from the reproduction start time based on the moving image data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  As described above, when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, the display control CPU 32a causes the moving image corresponding to the selected music to be firstly reproduced from the reproduction start time when the predetermined condition is satisfied. It will be displayed on the effect display device 16. In other words, after the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, the display control CPU 32a causes the moving image to be displayed on the first effect display device 16 when the predetermined condition is satisfied, of the effect button BT It is possible to change to a moving image corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation. In addition, the display control CPU 32a causes the second effect display device 17 to display the moving image corresponding to the selected music on the occasion of the selection operation, but the moving image corresponding to the selected music is delayed from the selection operation It can be said that the control for causing the first effect display device 16 to be displayed is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 32a capable of controlling display of a moving image (image) based on moving image data (image data) corresponds to the effect display unit and the display control unit, and is based on audio data. The central control CPU 31a capable of controlling sound output corresponds to the effect control means and the output control means. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect that a moving image (effect image) is displayed on the first image display portion GH1 of the first effect display device 16 is the first effect, and the second image display portion of the second effect display device 17 An effect in which a moving image (effect image) is displayed on the GH 2 and an effect in which an audio is output from the speaker SP respectively correspond to a second effect.
