The out-of-reach reach fluctuation effect is an effect that is developed so as to finally display a combination of out-of-characters in a decided stop after reaching effect. The out-of-variation effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol combination of the out-of-position is finally displayed in a fixed stop state without passing through the reach effect. The reach effect is performed in the decorative symbol variation game by the decorative symbols of the first effect display device 16, after the symbol combination of the reach is formed, then the symbol combination of the big hit, or the symbol combination of the off is performed between the tiles It is an effect.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a big hit judgment value used in the big hit lottery. The number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state is applied is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state is not assigned. The main control ROM 30b stores a reach determination value used in a reach lottery that determines whether or not the reach effect is to be performed.

  The main control RAM 30c stores various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main probability change flag indicating whether or not a positive change state is assigned. Further, the main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not the state of improvement in ball entry rate is given.

  In the main control board 30, a random number for collision determination, a random number for special symbol distribution, a random number for reach effect determination, and various random numbers used as a variation pattern distribution random number are generated. The hit determination random number is a random number used for a big hit lottery. The random number for reach determination is a random number used for reach lottery. The special symbol distribution random number is a random number used when determining the special symbol (type of big hit). The fluctuation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the fluctuation pattern. Possible values of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number are different in distribution for each of the out-of-out fluctuation pattern, the out-of-reach reach fluctuation pattern, and the big hit fluctuation pattern. The random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

  The effect control board 31 is provided with a CPU 31 a for effect control. The effect control ROM 31 b and the effect control RAM 31 c are connected to the effect control CPU 31 a. Further, the effect control RAM 31c stores various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, in the effect control RAM 31 c, a sub probability change flag indicating whether or not a positive change state is given is stored. Further, in the effect control RAM 31 c, a sub operation flag indicating whether or not the ball entry state improvement state is given is stored. Further, the effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers every predetermined cycle, stores (sets) the updated value in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the value before the update.

  Further, the effect control program for causing the game effect to be executed is stored in the effect control ROM 31 b. The effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program when various control commands are input. The effect control ROM 31 b stores various image data (image data such as a pattern, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The effect display devices 16 to 18 are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. When various control commands are input, the display contents of the effect display devices 16 to 18 are controlled based on the effect control program. A decoration lamp LA is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. Further, a speaker SP is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. Each of the motors MOT1 to MOT3 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and the movable body K, the second effect display device 17, and the third effect display device 18 are connected by the supply of the drive signal from the effect control CPU 31a. Move it. Further, the effect control BT is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and when the effect button BT is operated, an operation signal is input from the effect button BT.

  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.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a first hold determination to determine whether the gaming ball has entered the first start winning opening 21a. That is, in the first hold determination, the main control CPU 30a receives a detection signal output triggered by the detection of the game ball entered into the first start winning opening 21a by the first start sensor SE1. judge.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 21a), the main control CPU 30a sets the first hold storage number to an upper limit value ("4" in this embodiment). The first pending storage number determination is performed to determine whether the number is smaller than. When the determination result of the first pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value is not reached), the main control CPU 30a adds "1" to the first pending storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c to Update and store values. The main control CPU 30a controls the first hold display device 13 so as to display the updated first hold storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for specifying the updated first hold storage number. The main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values, and stores the acquired random number values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first pending storage number. On the other hand, if the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (if the gaming ball has not entered the first start winning opening 21a), or if the determination result of the first hold storage number determination is negative ( The main control CPU 30a does not execute the above processing when the upper limit value of the first number of pending storages has been reached).

  Further, the main control CPU 30a executes a second hold determination that determines whether or not the game ball has entered the second start winning opening 22a. That is, in the second hold determination, the main control CPU 30a receives a detection signal output triggered by the detection of the game ball entered into the second start winning opening 22a by the second start sensor SE2 or not. judge.

  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 ("4" in this embodiment). The second pending storage number determination is performed to determine whether the number is smaller than. When the determination result of the second pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value is not reached), the main control CPU 30a adds "1" to the second pending storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c to Update and store values. The main control CPU 30a controls the second hold display device 14 so as to display the updated second hold storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for specifying the updated second hold storage count. The main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values, and stores the acquired random number values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second hold storage number. On the other hand, if the determination result of the second hold determination is negative (if the game ball does not enter the second start winning opening 22a), or if the determination result of the second hold storage number determination is negative ( The main control CPU 30a does not execute the above process if the upper limit value of the second pending storage number has been reached).

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.
When the big hit game and the fluctuation game are not being executed, the main control CPU 30a identifies the second number of pending storages, and determines whether the second number of pending storages is larger than “0”. 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.

  On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (when the first number of pending storages is larger than "0"), the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied, and the main control RAM 30c In the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area, a value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set. In the present embodiment, when the big hit game and the variation game are not being executed, and the first number of pending storages is larger than “0” (that is, there is a first variation game whose execution is suspended. ), The execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a selects one of the random number values (used for the first change game) related to the first change game (for hit determination for the first change game to be executed earliest according to the acquisition order). The random number, the variation pattern distribution random number, and the special symbol distribution random number value) are acquired. Specifically, among the random number values relating to the first variation game, which are not used to execute the first variation game, the random number value acquired earliest is acquired. 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 indicate the first holding storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the number of first hold memories after the update.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the 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 positive (in the case of big hit), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the big hit game based on the acquired value of the special symbol allotment random number, and it is in the big hit symbol by the special symbol. The final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) is determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from among the big hit fluctuation patterns based on the acquired fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design outputs various control commands to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at predetermined timings, etc. 2) In the case of the fluctuation game, various processes related to the second fluctuation game are executed.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a designates a variation pattern and first outputs a variation pattern designation command instructing the start of symbol variation. The fluctuation pattern designation command also instructs information on which of the first fluctuation game and the second fluctuation game is to be executed. The main control CPU 30a controls the display contents of the first special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) so as to start the variation of the special symbol. Further, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the first variation game (or the second variation game). In addition, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command (hit type designation command) for designating the final stop symbol and the type of hit game. 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 final stop symbol determined based on the presentation time (variation time) defined in the designated variation pattern. (1) The display content of the special symbol display device 11 (the second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs the variation stop of the decorative symbol based on the effect time defined in the designated variation pattern, and outputs the all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  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 performs the winning determination based on whether the reach determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c 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 out-of-reach reach fluctuation patterns based on the acquired values of the fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design, as in the case of a big hit, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, etc. Execute various processing related to the game. 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 value of the acquired fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop design, as in the case of a big hit, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, etc. Execute various processing related to the game. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the second pending storage number is larger than "0", the main control CPU 30a executes the second variation game to the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Set the indicated value. 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.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a selects one of the random number values (used for the second change game) related to the second change game (for the hit determination for the second change game to be executed earliest according to the acquisition order). The random number, the variation pattern distribution random number, and the special symbol distribution random number value) are acquired. Specifically, among the random number values relating to the second variation game, which are not used to execute the second variation game, the random number value acquired earliest is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30 a subtracts one from the specified second holding storage number, and changes the display content of the second holding display device 14 so as to indicate the second holding storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the second hold memory count after update. Hereinafter, based on the acquired 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. Further, by executing such special symbol start processing, when the first variation game and the second variation game are both suspended for starting, the main control CPU 30a gives priority to the second variation game. Run.

  Then, when the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit, after the end of the variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main control CPU 30a starts control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol, A predetermined control command is output to the control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts the setting of the opening time triggered by the start of the big hit game. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the end of the opening time. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs, to the effect control board 31, a round command instructing the start of the round game at the start of each round game. In addition, the main control CPU 30a controls the large 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.

  Then, when the round game is over, the main control CPU 30a controls the large winning opening 23a to a closed state, and closes the large winning opening 23a until the round interval time determined in advance for each round game has elapsed. Keep in state. A series of these controls are executed until the specified number of rounds is reached. When the special winning opening 23a is controlled to be open, the main control CPU 30a outputs an open command indicating opening of the special winning opening 23a to the effect control board 31. When closing the special winning opening 23a, the main control CPU 30a outputs a closing command indicating closing of the special winning opening 23a to the effect control board 31.

  When the round game of the prescribed number of rounds ends, the main control CPU 30a starts setting of the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command to the effect control board 31 to instruct that the ending time has started. Then, when the ending time has passed, 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.

  Further, when the big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a sets the main operation flag to a value indicating that the ball entry state improvement state is provided. In addition, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating the number of times the state of ball entry improvement state is given to the main operation number flag based on the type of the big hit (the type of the special symbol). The main operation number flag is decremented by one each time the variation game is executed, and when it becomes "0", the main control CPU 30a resets the value of the main operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs, to the effect control board 31, an operation number specification command specifying the value set in the main operation number flag. 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. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes such processing functions as gaming state control means.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect 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 effect control CPU 31a executes various processes in accordance therewith.

  For example, when the CPU 31a for effect control inputs the fluctuation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the fixed stop display is displayed based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. Determine the symbol combination by the decorative symbol to be given.

  That is, when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is the big hit symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the big hit. Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the off reach when the designated final stop symbol is the off symbol and the off reach variation pattern is specified. Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the off when the designated final stop symbol is the off symbol and the off fluctuation pattern is designated.

  Then, when the fluctuation control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls each of the effect display devices 16 to 18 so as to execute the decorative symbol fluctuation game based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. In particular, the effect control CPU 31a performs control to display the decorative symbol in principle on the first effect display device 16 and not on the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18. In addition, when the fluctuation control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the decoration lamp LA to execute the effect accompanying the fluctuation game (the decoration pattern fluctuation game) based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. The speaker SP controls the motors MOT1 to MOT3. Thereafter, when the all-pattern stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the effect accompanying the fluctuation game and displays the determined symbol combination.

  Also, when the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the effect control CPU 31a is given a positive variation state to the sub probability variation flag when the positive variation state is given based on the big hit symbol after the big hit game is over Set a value to indicate that On the other hand, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is not assigned to the sub probability variation flag, when the probability variation state is not assigned.

  When the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the ball entry percentage improvement state is given to the sub variable flag, and operates to the value of the sub actuation frequency flag Set the number of times. Further, the effect control CPU 31a updates the value of the sub actuation frequency flag based on the value set in the main actuation frequency flag specified by the actuation frequency specification command. In addition, when the jackpot game is awarded, or when the value of the sub actuation frequency flag becomes “0”, the value indicating that the ball population improvement state is imparted is deleted from the sub variation flag.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the fluctuation pattern in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, a fluctuation pattern for specifying a fluctuation time of the fluctuation game is set. These fluctuation patterns are mainly selected depending on whether or not a big hit, and whether or not reach effect is to be performed in the case of a loss. Specifically, fluctuation patterns P14, P22, P32, P41, and P53 are defined as fluctuation patterns for the big hit fluctuation. In addition, fluctuation patterns P13, P21, P31, and P52 are defined as fluctuation patterns for out-of-reach reach fluctuation. In addition, fluctuation patterns P11, P12 and P51 are defined as fluctuation patterns for outlier fluctuation.

  In addition, as variation patterns that can be selected in the non-entering rate improvement state, variation patterns P11 to P14, P21, P22, P31, P32, and P41 are variation patterns that can be selected in the entering rate state. P51 to P53 are respectively defined.

  The selectable fluctuation pattern P12 in the non-enter-ball-field-rate improvement state is a fluctuation pattern that shortens the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern P11. The variation pattern P51 that can be selected in the ball entry rate improvement state is a variation pattern that further shortens the variation time of the selectable variation pattern P12 in the non-ball entry rate improvement state. For this reason, in the case of the ball entering rate improving state, a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is shortened is determined as compared to the case of the non ball entering rate improving state.

  Also, in the present embodiment, one or more fluctuation cycles can be performed in one fluctuation game. The fluctuation cycle is a cycle in which the start of the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol is one time, and in the present embodiment, it is 1 until the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed at the start of the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol. It is assumed to be a fluctuation cycle of In addition, the number of fluctuation cycles executed in one fluctuation game (the number of continuous executions) can indicate a big hit expectation, and in particular, the number of fluctuation cycles executed in one fluctuation game is large It is defined that the big hit expectation will increase. For this reason, in the one fluctuation game, the next fluctuation cycle is also continuously executed, and the jackpot expectation degree is increased.

  Specifically, fluctuation patterns P11 to P14 and P51 to P53 are defined as fluctuation patterns in which one fluctuation cycle is executed in one fluctuation game. In addition, as fluctuation patterns in which two fluctuation cycles are executed in one fluctuation game, fluctuation patterns P21 and P22 are fluctuation as fluctuation patterns in which three fluctuation cycles are executed in one fluctuation game. The fluctuation patterns P41 and P32 are defined as fluctuation patterns in which four fluctuation cycles are executed in one fluctuation game, respectively.

  In this way, by performing a plurality of fluctuation cycles in one fluctuation game, it becomes an effect such that a plurality of fluctuation games are pseudo-executed, and such an effect is a pseudo-series effect It is commonly referred to. That is, such a pseudo continuous effect is equivalent to a continuous advance notice effect (specific effect) which can be continuously executed in one fluctuation game.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of pseudo-sequence effects different in the effect mode can be executed. Specifically, the types of pseudo-rendering effects include slashing pseudo-rendering effects, flower pseudo-rendering effects, water discharge pseudo-rendering effects, slot pseudo-rendering effects, and action pseudo-rendering effects.

  A slashing pseudo-series effect is a production which suggests continuously according to the slashing of a decorative pattern. The flower pseudo-series effect is an effect continuously suggested along with the combination of the flower characters. The water discharge pseudo-series effect is an effect that allows the decorative pattern that can be the object of the slip effect to be discharged and the decorative pattern that can be the object of the slip effect can be specified. The slot simulated series effect is an effect suggested to continue with the displacement of the second effect display device 17. The action simulated series effect is an effect that is continuously suggested as the movable body K moves.

  The effect control CPU 31a determines any one pseudo continuous effect from a plurality of types of pseudo continuous effects when a fluctuation pattern including a pseudo continuous effect is specified by the input fluctuation pattern specification command, and information indicating the content of the determination Are set in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 31c. In particular, the effect control CPU 31a determines, as a pseudo-rendering effect, one of a plurality of types of pseudo-rendering effects to be executed with different probability depending on the number of continuous executions of the fluctuation cycle whether or not it is a fluctuation pattern to be a big hit . Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines a decorative symbol to be temporarily displayed in the fluctuation cycles other than the final one, based on the determined type of pseudo sequential effect. As a result, in each of the effect display devices 16 to 18, it is possible to display an effect image corresponding to the determined type of simulated continuous effect.

  Here, with reference to FIGS. 7 to 17, a specific example of each pseudo connected effect will be described. Note that, in FIGS. 7 to 17, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, a reserved image which is being executed or whose execution is suspended is omitted.

  First, with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. As shown to Fig.7 (a), in the image display part GH1 of the 1st effect display apparatus 16, the decoration symbol is displayed on fixed stop. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the execution condition of the variation game is satisfied, variation display of the decorative symbol is performed in the image display unit GH1. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the decorative symbols in the left row and the decorative symbols in the right row are displayed temporarily, and when various pseudo sequential effects are not performed, the decorative symbols form a reach state After the display, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the decorative design is displayed as a fixed stop as a combination of design that is dislocated. At this time, the decorative symbol is not displayed on the image display unit GH2 of the second effect display device 17 or the image display unit GH3 of the third effect display device 18. That is, such an effect corresponds to a normal display effect which can display the decorative symbol corresponding to the special symbol on the first effect display device 16 but is not displayed on the other effect display devices 17 and 18.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (e), when the execution condition of the variation game is satisfied, the variation display of the decorative symbol is performed in the image display section GH1, and as shown in FIG. 7 (f), The decorative pattern and the decorative pattern in the right row are temporarily displayed on stop, and the reach state is formed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (g), when the slashing pseudo sequential effect is executed, the decorative pattern in the left row and the decorative pattern in the right row move while drawing a circle while forming a reach state. . As a result, the decorative symbol forming the reach state is transferred from the image display section GH1 of the first effect display device 16 to the image display section GH2 of the second effect display device 17, and the image display section GH2 of the second effect display device 17 The first effect display device 16 is displayed on the image display unit GH1 so as to be movable. In addition, the decorative design forming the reach state is transferred from the image display unit GH1 of the first effect display device 16 to the image display unit GH3 of the third effect display device 18, and from the image display unit GH3 of the third effect display device 18 Each of the effect display devices 16 is displayed so as to be movable. In other words, when moving the image display portions GH1 to GH3 of the effect display devices 16 to 18, the decorative symbols can be displayed across the image display portions GH1 to GH3 of the effect display devices 16 to 18. That is, such an effect corresponds to a special display effect capable of displaying a decorative symbol corresponding to a special symbol on each effect display device 16-18. In addition, one character image is displayed across the image display portions GH1 to GH3 of the effect display devices 16 to 18, and an image prompting the user to operate the effect button BT is displayed, such as "Press button!".

  As shown in FIG. 7 (h), when the effect button BT is operated within the operation effective period, the decorative symbol is cut off by the displayed character, and the image display unit GH1 of the first effect display device 16 The decorative symbol is temporarily displayed as a continuation suggestive symbol combination, and it is informed that the first variation cycle is ended and the second variation cycle is continuously performed. In the present embodiment, as the continuation indication symbol combination, for example, a continuation symbol such as [344] corresponds.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, similarly in the next variation cycle, in the image display section GH1 of the first effect display device 16, the variation display of the decorative symbol is started and the decorative symbol forms the reach state. Across the image display sections GH1 to GH3 of the effect display devices 16 to 18, the decorative patterns in the left row and the decorative patterns in the right row move while drawing a circle while forming a reach state. In addition, one character image is displayed across the image display portions GH1 to GH3 of the effect display devices 16 to 18, and an image prompting the user to operate the effect button BT is displayed, such as "Press button!".

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when the effect button BT is operated within the operation effective period, the decorative symbol is slashed by the displayed character. Then, in the image display sections GH1 to GH3 of each of the effect display devices 16 to 18, the decorative symbols are temporarily displayed as a continuation suggestive symbol combination, the second variation cycle is ended, and the third variation cycle is continued Being informed that As described above, the decorative symbol is displayed on the first effect display device 16 and the effective line is formed in the normal time (when the normal display effect is executed), but in the special time (when the special display effect is performed). Thus, the effective line can be formed across the image display portions GH1 to GH3 of the effect display devices 16 to 18.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, similarly in the next variation cycle, in the image display section GH1 of the first effect display device 16, the variation display of the decorative symbol is started and the decorative symbol forms the reach state. Across the image display sections GH1 to GH3 of the effect display devices 16 to 18, the decorative patterns in the left row and the decorative patterns in the right row move while drawing a circle while forming a reach state.

The above embodiment can be embodied in the following another embodiment (another example).
In the above embodiment, for example, the decorative symbols at both ends may be variably displayed, and by temporarily displaying the decorative symbols to be sandwiched between the decorative symbols at both ends, a reach symbol combination is formed, and the continuation suggestive symbols are formed. Combinations may be suggested.

  In the above embodiment, the effective lines may be controlled to be able to increase or decrease in multiple stages, for example, one, two, four. Also, for example, in one variation game, the effective line may be increased or decreased in multiple stages, or the effective line may be increased or decreased in one stage. Also, for example, control may be performed so as not to increase or decrease.

In the embodiment, for example, in each of the effect display devices 16 to 18, there may be an effect display device which does not form an effective line.
-In the said embodiment, although the decoration design of each row was displayed on each effect display devices 16-18, and the effective line was formed, it does not restrict to this. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20 (a), one effect line is formed in each effect display device 16 to 18 so that the decorative symbol can be displayed as a reach symbol combination, but it is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), one effective line is formed in the first effect display device 16, and the decorative symbol can be displayed as a reach symbol combination, and one effective line in the second effect display device 17 And may be displayed as a reach pattern combination. Further, for example, one effective line may be formed in the third effect display device 18, and the decorative symbol may be displayed as a reach symbol combination, or a combination thereof may be used. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 20C, in the first effect display device 16, one effective line is formed, and the decorative symbol is displayed as a reach symbol combination, and in the second effect display device 17, one is effective. An effective line may be formed, and the decorative pattern in the middle row may be variably displayed. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 20 (d), a decorative symbol to be a big hit is displayed on the second effect display device 17, and a decorative symbol to be deviated is displayed on the third effect display device 18, respectively. The decorative symbol may be displayed on a fixed stop by the displacement of the third effect display device 18. As described above, the effective line itself may or may not straddle at least one of the effect display devices 16 to 18, and it does not matter whether a plurality of effective lines are formed. That is, an effective line is formed by at least one of the effect display devices 16 to 18 and at least one effect display device is formed by one or more effect display devices different from the effect display device. Preferably, such an effective line may not be formed.

  In the above embodiment, the effective line is not limited to the reach state, but, for example, a combination of continued suggestion symbols, an out symbol combination, a big hit symbol combination, a symbol combination in which only a row of decorative symbols is temporarily displayed. And so on as long as they form a predetermined combination.

In the above embodiment, the effective line is formed linearly, but the effective line may include, for example, a mountain shape, a valley shape, and the like.
In the above embodiment, the variable display of the decorative symbol is not limited to vertical scrolling, and may be horizontal scrolling, for example. That is, not only a row | line | column about a decorative symbol but a column may be sufficient, and it is preferable to be comprised by several decorative symbol.

  In the above embodiment, the decorative symbols are arranged in a matrix such as three vertical by three vertical for variable display of decorative symbols, and variable display, temporary stop display, final stop display are configured at that location. It is also good.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the effective line comprised from three lines of decorative designs was formed, it is not restricted to this, for example, the effective line comprised from four or more rows and two or less lines of decorative designs is formed, It is also good.

  In the embodiment, for example, the effective line may be changed according to the displacement of each of the effect display devices 16 to 18. As a specific example, in the state as shown in FIG. 8E, the second effect display device 17 is displaced to the right, and the third effect display device 18 is displaced to the left. [7] and [1] may be temporarily displayed on the display device 17 and the third effect display device 18, and the valid line may be changed. That is, according to the displacement of at least one of the effect display devices 16 to 18, the effective line to be formed may be changed, and the reach symbol combination may be controlled to be changed. In addition, for example, in a simulation game different from the slashing simulation series, or in a variation game not involving a simulation series, an effective line is formed by one of the effect display devices 16 to 18 and the other. May be

  In the embodiment, for example, when a slashing pseudo-series effect is executed, the decorative symbol may be temporarily stopped and displayed after a predetermined time has passed in response to the operation of the effect button BT. Further, for example, regardless of the operation of the effect button BT, the decorative symbol may be displayed temporarily.

  In the above embodiment, when slashing pseudo sequence effect is performed, the effect of slashing the decorative pattern is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, along with such effects, the jackpot expected degree is indicated A presentation may be performed. As a specific example, a numerical value (such as the number of slashings) indicating the degree of expectation of a big hit may be determined and displayed along with the effect of slashing the decorative pattern. In this case, for example, one or more numerical values may be displayed in response to one operation of the effect button BT, and one or more numerical values are displayed in response to the plural operations of the effect button BT. It may be done. In addition, for example, when the effect of cutting the decorative pattern is executed according to the operation of the effect button BT, the effect display devices 16 to 18 may be controlled to swing.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when slashing pseudo-sequence effect is executed, a decorative symbol temporarily displayed as a continuation suggestion symbol combination or a reach symbol combination is displayed on any of the effect display devices 16 to 18. The big hit expectation may be shown by the or. Specifically, in the case where the continuous indication symbol combination and the reach symbol combination are formed across each effect display device 16 to 18, a single effect display device does not extend across each effect display device 16 to 18. Also, the jackpot may be controlled to have a high expectation, and vice versa.

  In the above embodiment, the decorative symbol is temporarily displayed as a reach symbol combination before the slashing pseudo-sequence effect is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if it is temporarily displayed as a continuous suggestion symbol combination Good. In addition, for example, it may be controlled to increase the expectation to continue to execute the fluctuation cycle rather than displaying the decorative symbol as the continuation suggestive symbol combination temporarily than displaying it as the reach symbol combination. The continuation execution of the fluctuation cycle may be determined by temporarily stopping and displaying the symbols as the continuation suggestion symbol combination.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, when displaying the decoration pattern which moves each effect display device 16-18, although the decoration symbol could be displayed so that each effect display device 16-18 might be straddled, it does not restrict to this, for example, for example The decorative pattern may not be displayed so as to straddle each of the effect display devices 16 to 18, and the decorative pattern may not be moved across the respective effect display devices 16 to 18.

  In the above embodiment, the special display effect is controlled so that the big hit expectation is higher in the case where the special display effect is executed than in the case where the normal display effect is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the case where is executed, the big hit expectation may be controlled to be higher than when the special display effect is executed, for example, it may be the same degree.

  In the above-described embodiment, for example, an effect may be performed that indicates the degree of advantage to the player every fluctuation cycle in one fluctuation game. In addition, as the degree which is advantageous to this player, for example, it is possible to be the production mode which indicates the probability change expectation degree, in this case, transition to the production mode whose probability change expectation degree is high as the number of times of execution of fluctuation cycle increases. It is preferable that an effect that indicates In addition, the degree of advantage to the player may be, for example, a period in which the jackpot expectation is high (so-called "high expectation zone"), and in this case, the jackpot expectation is greater as the number of times of execution of the fluctuation cycle increases. It is preferable that an effect that indicates a transition to a high-degree period be performed. In addition, as the degree of being advantageous to the player, for example, various effects (reach effect etc.) indicating the big hit expectation degree in the running fluctuation game may be used, and in this case, as the number of times of execution of the fluctuation cycle increases, It is preferable that an effect that indicates a reach effect or the like with a high hit probability is performed.

  In the above embodiment, when the flower pseudo-series effect is executed, at least after the expansion indication effect image indicating the expansion of the effect image in the first effect display device 16 is displayed on the second effect display device 17, Although at least the second effect display device 17 displays the expansion determined effect image that definitely announces the expansion of the effect image, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the expansion determination effect image may not be displayed on the second effect display device 17, but may be displayed on the first effect display device 16 or the third effect display device 18, and is not displayed on each effect display device 16 to 18. May be Also, for example, the expansion suggestion effect image may be displayed on the first effect display device 16 or the third effect display device 18 without being displayed on the second effect display device 17, and displayed on each effect display device 16 to 18. It does not have to be done. Further, for example, the expansion suggestion effect image and the expansion determination effect image may be displayed across the effect display devices 16 to 18 or displayed without straddling. In addition, for example, regardless of whether or not the expansion indication effect image and the expansion confirmation effect image are displayed along with the displacement of the movable effect member, the movement effect is displayed along with the display of the expansion indication effect image and the expansion confirmation effect image. It does not matter whether the member is displaced or not.

  In the above embodiment, when the flower pseudo-series effect is executed, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, types of reach effects to be executed in the first effect display device 16 (in the figure, “A” to “H” ) May be displayable on each of the effect display devices 16 to 18. Also, for example, whether it will be a big hit or not, it will be an advantageous big hit or not (in the figure, "Behavior" or "?" With low expectation for big hit, "heat" with high expectation for big hit, or expectation with big hit) "Highest" may be displayable on each effect display device 16-18. For example, transition of the effect mode which shows the display mode of the effect image in each effect display devices 16-18, such as a background image, transition of the effect mode which shows a probability change expectation degree by the display mode, transition of a period with a big hit expectation , May be displayed on the second effect display device 17 as an image showing development of the effect. That is, it is only necessary that an image showing the development of the effect in the first effect display device 16 can be displayed by at least the effect display devices other than the first effect display device 16.

  In the above embodiment, when the water discharge pseudo-series effect is executed, for example, the effect image may be displayed so as to suggest re-variation of the decorative symbol to be re-varied, or, for example, the decorative symbol to be re-varied The effect image may be displayed so as not to be identified.

  In the above embodiment, when the water discharge pseudo-series effect is executed, for example, the decoration pattern in the middle row may be reversibly controlled. Also, for example, the decorative patterns in the left row and the decorative patterns in the right row may be controlled not to be changed again, or a combination of these may be used.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the water discharge pseudo-series effect is executed, although the decorative symbol that was temporarily displayed is controlled so as to be variable again, it is not limited to this, for example, the decorative symbol or swinging at low speed The decorative symbols may be reversibly controlled, or a combination of these. That is, there is no problem if the decorative pattern displayed in the display mode indicating the re-variation can be revariably controlled.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the water discharge pseudo link effect is performed, for example, the control may be performed to indicate that the next fluctuation cycle is continuously performed. Also, for example, control may be performed to indicate and determine that a specific reach effect is performed, an increase in the available line, and the like.

  In the above embodiment, when the water discharge pseudo-series effect is executed, the third effect display device 18 has a re-change indication image suggesting that the decorative symbol is re-change, the first effect display device 16 the re-change indication image Although the decorative pattern of the display aspect relevant to and the effect image of the display aspect relevant to a re-variation suggestion image was each displayed on the 2nd effect display apparatus 17, it is not restricted to this. For example, an effect image of a display mode not related to the re-variation suggestion image may be displayed on the first effect display device 16 or the second effect display device 17. In addition, for example, if the re-variation effect is executed in the first effect display device 16, even if the effect image accompanying the display of the re-change suggestion image is not displayed on the first effect display device 16 or the second effect display device 17. Well, there may be a case where the re-variation effect is not performed in the first effect display device 16. Further, for example, it does not matter whether the re-variation suggestion image or the re-variation related effect image is displayed across the respective effect display devices 16 to 18 or displayed without straddling. Also, for example, regardless of whether or not the re-variation indication image and the re-variation related effect image are displayed along with the displacement of the movable effect member, the movability according to the display of the re-change indication image and the re-variation related effect image It does not matter whether the effect member is displaced or not. In addition, for example, an image may be displayed that suggests the type of re-variation suggestion image such as various character images. As a specific example, before the type of the character image can be identified, the foot of the character whose type of the character image can not be identified may be displayed. Also, for example, the jackpot expectation may be controlled to be different depending on the type of the re-variation suggestion image or the row of the decoration pattern to be re-variation. As a specific example, when both the first character image and the second character image are displayed, the jackpot expectation rate is higher than when the second character image is displayed, and the second character image is displayed. In the case of being displayed, the jackpot expectation may be defined to be higher than when the first character image is displayed. Also, for example, when the decorative pattern in the left row and the decorative pattern in the right row are redisplayed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the decorative pattern in the right row is redisplayed, and the decorative symbol in the right row is displayed. May be defined so that the jackpot expectation degree is higher in the case where the left-handed decorative pattern is re-displayed. Further, although the revariation suggestion image is displayed on the third effect display device 18 on the upstream side on which the decorative symbol is variably displayed, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the revariation suggestion on the second effect display device 17 on the downstream side An image may be displayed or other than that. Also, for example, when the decorative symbol is displayed fluctuatingly from right to left etc., the re-fluctuation suggestion image may be displayed on the effect display device disposed on the upstream side or downstream side, and it is other than that May be

  In the above embodiment, when the slot pseudo-series effect is executed, when the symbol on the reel is variably displayed, an effect image indicating that the symbol is temporarily displayed may be displayed. As a specific example, an effect that the symbols on the reels change at a low speed may be performed. Also, for example, the number of times the symbol on the reel is slowed may indicate the degree of expectation that the next fluctuation cycle is continuously executed or the degree of big hit. Also, for example, after the effect that the symbol on the reel becomes slow is executed, the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 may be controlled to be displaceable in a specific displacement mode. That is, the effect that the symbol on the reel is slowed may indicate that the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 are displaced in a specific displacement mode.

  In the above embodiment, when the slot pseudo-series effect is executed, in the first effect display device 16, in addition to the decorative symbol, a reel capable of displaying another symbol is displayed, but not limited to this, for example, The reels may be displayed on the other effect display devices 17 and 18. In addition, the reels may be displayed across the respective effect display devices 16 to 18, and the reels themselves may not be displayed. Further, instead of the effect for stopping and displaying the reel, an effect for stopping and displaying the decorative pattern itself may be executed, or a combination of these may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, when the slot pseudo-series effect is performed, the fluctuation cycle is continuously performed when the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 are displaced in a specific displacement mode. It is determined that the fluctuation cycle is not continuously executed when not displaced, but not limited to this. For example, when the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 are displaced in a specific displacement mode, it may be determined that the fluctuation cycle is continuously performed. Further, for example, when the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 are displaced in a specific displacement mode, the fluctuation cycle is continuously performed with a higher probability than in the case where the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 are not displaced. It may be done. Also, for example, when the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 are not displaced, the fluctuation cycle is defined so as not to be continuously executed with a higher probability than in the case of displacement in a specific displacement mode. It may be Also, these probabilities may be reversed. Further, for example, the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 may not be displaced, but may be displaced in a non-specific displacement mode, or a combination thereof. As an example of a non-specific displacement mode, after the image imitating a crocodile is displayed on the second effect display device 17, the second effect display device 17 is displaced from the original position to the first position, but from the first position It may be a displacement mode that is displaced to the original position.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when the slot pseudo-series effect is executed, the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 can be displaced in a specific displacement mode according to the operation of the effect button BT It may be controlled to

  In the above embodiment, as the specific displacement mode and the non-specific displacement mode, not only the displacement to the specified value, but also the displacement timing, the displacement speed, etc. may be different, or a combination thereof.

  In the above embodiment, the second effect display device 17 and the third effect display device 18 are moved when the slot pseudo-series effect is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second effect display device 17 and Any of the third effect display device 18 may be moved, or another effect display device such as the first effect display device 16 may be moved.

  In the above embodiment, when the slot pseudo-series effect is executed, the second effect display device 17 displays a displacement mode suggestion effect image that suggests that the second effect display device 17 is displaced in a specific displacement mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be displayed on at least one of the effect display devices 16 to 18, and the displacement mode suggestion effect image may not be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, when the slot pseudo-series effect is executed, the first effect display device 16 displays the continuous determination effect image notifying the determination of the continuation of the continuous advance effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, It may be displayed on at least one of the effect display devices 16 to 18 or the continuous determined effect image may not be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, when the slot pseudo-series effect is executed, the effect image is displayed so as to straddle the effect display devices 16 to 18. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, each effect display devices 16 to 18 The effect image may be displayed so that there is no straddling.

  In the above embodiment, when the action pseudo link effect is executed, it is determined that the fluctuation cycle is continuously executed when the movable body K is displaced in the special displacement mode, and the non-special displacement mode It has been determined that the fluctuation cycle is not continuously performed when being displaced by, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the movable body K is displaced in a special displacement manner, the fluctuation cycle may be defined to be continuously performed with a higher probability than in the case of being displaced in a non-special displacement manner. Also, for example, when the movable body K is displaced in a non-special displacement manner, the fluctuation cycle may be defined so as not to be continuously performed with a higher probability than when displaced in a special displacement manner. . Also, these probabilities may be reversed. Also, for example, the movable body K may not be displaced in a non-special manner, and may be configured not to be displaced, or a combination thereof.

In the above-described embodiment, for example, when the action simulated sequential rendering is performed, the movable body K may be controlled to be displaceable in a special displacement manner regardless of the operation of the effect button BT.
In the above embodiment, when the action pseudo-sequence effect is executed, as the special displacement mode and the non-special displacement mode, not only the displacement to the specified position, but also the displacement timing, the displacement speed, etc. may be different. It may be a combination of these.

  In the above embodiment, the movable body K is adopted as the movable effect member when the action pseudo linked effect is executed, but not limited to this, for example, each effect display device 16 to 18 is adopted as the movable effect member It is also good.

  In the above embodiment, when the action pseudo-sequence effect is executed, the effect image is displayed so as to straddle the effect display devices 16 to 18. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, each effect display devices 16 to 18 The effect image may be displayed so that there is no straddling. Further, for example, although the effect image for definitely notifying that the continuous preview effect is continuously executed is displayed, the present invention is not limited to this, and such an image may not be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, for example, these plural types of pseudo-rendering effect modes may be combined, or these plural types of pseudo-rendering effect modes may be controlled so as not to be executed, or, for example, Control may be performed so as not to execute any of the pseudo-sequence effects themselves.

  In the above embodiment, when a cut-in image is displayed in the first display area shown in FIG. 19B or in the second display area shown in FIG. 19C, the display area in which the cut-in image is displayed Other than the above, another effect image can be displayed, but it does not matter whether it is the same display mode as the cut-in image.

  In the above embodiment, the big hit expectation may be indicated by the display mode such as the frame of the cut-in image or the display color of the background image other than the display area of the cut-in image. In addition, there is no problem even if the big hit expectation is not shown in the display area of the cut-in image.

In the embodiment, control may be performed so as not to display the effect image such as the cut-in image in any of the first to third display areas.
In the above embodiment, for example, not only one type of cut-in image is displayed, but a plurality of types of cut-in images may be displayed, and a plurality of types of cut-in images may be displayed in a plurality of stages during one variation game. A cut-in image may be displayed. In the first step, the cut-in notice effect CI01 may be performed, in the second step, the cut-in notice effect CI02, in the third step, the cut-in notice effect CI03, and in the fourth step, the cut-in notice effect CI04 may be performed. A cut-in image may be superimposed.

  In the above embodiment, for example, even before the reach state is formed or during the big hit game, the effect image may be displayed so as to cross each of the effect display devices 16 to 18. In addition, for example, even when the pseudo-series effect is being performed, or even when the pseudo-series effect is not being performed, the effect image can be displayed so as to straddle each of the effect display devices 16 to 18. Good. Further, for example, the effect image may be displayed so as to straddle each of the effect display devices 16 to 18 regardless of displacement of various movable effect members or without displacement of various movable effect members.

  In the embodiment, for example, the effect image may be displayed so as not to straddle any of the effect display devices 16 to 18, and there is no straddle to any of the effect display devices 16 to 18. An effect image may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, for example, as the various pseudo-sequence effects, a normal pseudo-sequence effect with a long variation cycle of the variation cycle and a shortened pseudo-series presentation with a short variation cycle variation time may be included, in this case The fluctuation pattern corresponding to each kind of simulated rendition may be defined so as to be determinable. As a specific example, when slashing pseudo sequence effect is adopted as a shortening pseudo sequence effect, the reach pattern combination is formed or the continuous suggestion pattern combination is executed by the effect that the decorative pattern is slashed is executed. Attention can be given to the formation in a short time, and the interest to the game can be improved.

In the above embodiment, although the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles in one fluctuation game is defined as four times, the invention is not limited to this, and may be defined as three times or less or five times or more, for example.
In the above embodiment, a continuous advance notice effect that enables one or more fluctuation cycles to be executed in one fluctuation game is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, 1 across the plurality of fluctuation games A continuous announcement effect that can be performed once or a plurality of times may be executable, or an effect that suggests these may be executable. In this case, information based on various random number values acquired with the entry of the game ball to each start winning opening 21a, 22a is specified, and based on the information, a plurality of fluctuations for which execution is suspended It may be configured to determine whether to execute the game one or more times across the game.
