Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with rendering means capable of performing rendering.

  A game machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine executes variable display based on a plurality of pattern information by the variable display means, triggered by the entry of the game ball into the start opening and the operation of the start lever. When the variable display results of the plurality of pattern information become the specific display mode (display mode of hit), a hit game is performed. In this hit game, since a large amount of game media such as game balls and medals can be obtained, the player is playing a game for the purpose of playing a hit game. For this reason, there are increasing numbers of gaming machines that perform suggestion effects that suggest the possibility that the variable display results of a plurality of pieces of symbol information will be in the specific display mode, and increase the sense of expectation for the player's hit.

  For example, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, an image of a zebra pattern that is a special pattern is displayed as a suggested effect when there is a high possibility that the variable display results of a plurality of picture information will be a specific display mode (paragraph 0179 ). When the zebra pattern image display is executed, the player is expected to execute the zebra pattern image display because the high reliability effect with high possibility of hitting is executed thereafter. Play a game.

  Further, in recent gaming machines, a plurality of types of suggested images that indicate the possibility that the variable display results of a plurality of pattern information become the specific display mode are displayed as candidates, and an image selection of which suggested image is selected In some cases, when a suggestion image is selected in this image selection effect, a low reliability presentation with a low probability of hitting is performed, and when a special suggestion image is selected, a hitting effect is selected. Highly reliable presentation is performed. Such an image selection effect is referred to as a scout effect because it gives an expectation of hitting, and by performing the scribbling effect, the interest of the game is enhanced.

JP, 2014-195666, A

  In patent document 1, when displaying the image of a special pattern, in order to perform highly reliable production with high possibility of hitting, it is an image selection presentation as mentioned above, and the special suggestion of the normal pattern and the special pattern of a special pattern are carried out. When the suggestion image is displayed, the special suggestion image of the special pattern is always selected, and the interest of the game can not be enhanced by executing the image selection effect as a stumbling effect.

  On the other hand, in the case where the special suggestion image is not selected although the special suggestion image is displayed as the candidate in the image selection effect, the low reliability effect with low possibility of hitting is executed, The sense of expectation to the hit is reduced and the interest of the game is lowered. This is due to the fact that it is not clear whether the effect being executed is a perplexing effect or an effect that increases the sense of expectation.

  In addition, in the image selection effect, even when any suggestion image is selected, the same effect is performed except for the display of the selected suggestion image, so it is difficult to know which suggestion image was selected in the image selection effect And the interest of the game was low.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing the interest of a game.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is a variable display means capable of executing variable display by a plurality of symbol information, and a specific gaming state advantageous to a player when the variable display result of the plurality of symbol information becomes a specific display mode. Undecided information capable of displaying at least one of a plurality of types of suggested information indicating the possibility of becoming the specific display mode, and at least one of the plurality of types of suggested information as undecided information Display means, information change display means capable of changing and displaying the non-confirmation information as confirmation information, and display end means for ending display of the non-confirmation information as the non-confirmation information;
The notification means capable of performing notification sound effects, and the plurality of types of suggestion information are usually suggestion information and specific suggestion information indicating that the specific display mode is more likely to be the specific display mode than the usual suggestion information In the case where the notification means displays the normal suggestion information as the confirmation information , the notification means executes the first notification effect, and ends the display of the normal indication information as the non-confirmation information. In the case where the first indication effect is not performed and the specific indication information is displayed as the finalization information, the second informing effect is performed, and the special indication information is not displayed as the non-final information. The second informing effect includes the informing sound effect without executing the second informing effect .

  First, an outline of the ball and ball game machine of the present embodiment will be described.

  The gaming machine of the present embodiment is a variable display means capable of executing variable display by a plurality of symbol information, and a specific game advantageous to the player when the variable display result of the plurality of symbol information becomes a specific display mode. Any of game condition control means that can be controlled to a state, candidate presentation means that can display a plurality of types of suggestion information that suggest the possibility of being in the specific display mode as candidates, and the plurality of types of suggestion information It comprises: a suggestion effect execution means capable of executing suggestion effects according to the selected suggestion information selected; and a selection notification means capable of informing that one of the plurality of types of suggestion information is selected. The suggestion information includes usually suggestion information and specific suggestion information, and when the usual suggestion information is selected from the plurality of kinds of suggestion information, the first indication notification is performed by the selection notification means, and When the specific suggestion information from the several suggestions information is selected, and performing a different second suggestion notification is at least the first suggested notification by the selection notifying means.

  According to the present embodiment, one of a plurality of types of suggestion information indicating the possibility of becoming a specific display mode is selected, and a suggestion effect by the selected suggestion information is executed, and the normal suggestion information is selected In the second case, the first indication notification is performed by the selection notification means, and when the specific indication information is selected, at least the second indication notification different from the first indication notification is performed by the selection notification means. It becomes easier to understand which suggestion information has been selected, compared to those that issue the same suggestion notification. Thereby, the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, the player can recognize that the effect when the suggestion notification is given indicates the possibility of becoming the specific display mode, and the effect before the indication notification is the turning effect. As a result, the interest of the game can be enhanced compared to the case where it is not possible to distinguish the beat effect and the effect indicating the possibility of becoming the specific display mode.

  Furthermore, before displaying the suggestion information, when displaying a plurality of types of suggestion information as candidates, it is possible to perform a scribbling effect of displaying suggestion information with a high degree of expectation that the possibility of becoming a specific display mode increases. It can enhance the interest of the game. In addition, since it is possible to recognize that the effect before the notification is a turning effect, the interest of the game does not decrease even when the suggestion information of the high expectation is not selected.

  In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of suggestion information preferably include color information of different colors.

  Since the plurality of types of suggestion information include color information of different colors, it becomes easier to recognize differences in the plurality of types of suggestion information than those in which the plurality of types of suggestion information are shape information of different shapes.

  In the present embodiment, the selection informing means includes light emitting means for emitting light and sound output means for outputting sound, and the specific indication information is specific color information of a specific color, and the first indication The notification is a notification in which the light emitting means emits light in a light emission mode according to at least the selected normal suggestion information, and the second suggestion notification is an output mode according to at least the selected specific color information. It is preferable that the notification be a sound output.

  The first suggested notification is at least a notification by light emission, and the second suggested notification is at least a notification by sound output, so it is easier to recognize that the notification has been made, compared to the notification by image display. In addition, since the first and the second suggestion notices are performed by the notice that the difference between the light emission and the sound output is easy to understand, the first suggestion notice and the second suggestion notice are different colors of light emission and sound different from each other. It becomes easier to recognize whether the selected suggestion information is the normal suggestion information or the special suggestion information, as compared with the output.

  In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the possibility of becoming the specific display mode is higher in the case where the suggestion effect by the specific suggestion information is performed than in the case where the suggestion effect by the normal suggestion information is performed.

  When the suggestion effect by the special suggestion information is executed, the possibility of becoming the specific display mode is higher than when the suggestive effect by the suggestion information is usually executed, so it is highly possible that both of them become the specific display mode. Compared to the ones that do not know, it can enhance the interest of the game.

  Next, the jackpot type of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the contents of the special game will be described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, among the decorative symbols of "1" to "9", a big hit by a probability variation symbol (for example, a decorative symbol of "3" and "7") and a non-probability symbol (for example, "3" , There are two types of jackpot by decorative symbols other than "7". Each symbol is variably displayed in three rows (left row, center row, right row), and the same symbol in three rows is aligned (for example, "777") and becomes a big hit. The symbols in the three rows to be variably displayed stop in the order of the left row, the right row, and the center row, and the left and right rows are aligned and stopped with the same symbol, and the state in which the symbols in the center row are variably displayed becomes the reach.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the game is played in the normal mode, the time saving mode, and the probability variation mode. The normal mode is a lottery with a low probability (e.g., a "big hit" at 1/100). The time saving mode has the same lottery probability as the normal mode, but it is a gaming state in which the time of the variable display of the symbol is shortened, and the opening / closing member of the ordinary electric role is opened more frequently than the normal mode , The game ball is easy to start winning. The probability variation mode is a lottery with a higher probability (for example, 1/10 and a "big hit") than the normal mode and the time saving mode, and is in a state with electronic support.

  The special game by the odd variation symbol jackpot is configured, for example, in all ten rounds, and the special game by the non-deterministic symbol jackpot is configured, for example, in all five rounds. After the end of the probability variation symbol jackpot, the gaming state becomes probability fluctuation mode. The probability fluctuation mode ends when 50 games are played. The probability fluctuation mode may be a mode in which the next big hit is continued.

  When a probability variation symbol jackpot occurs, a big hit display of 6000 ms (6.0 seconds) is performed as an interval before the start.

  After that, the first round starts. In the first round, the operating time of the open / close door of the big winning device 39 is 29000 ms (29.0 seconds). At this time, “Round 01” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 as a round display.

  When the operation time (opening time) of the open / close door is finished, it becomes the remaining ball discharging time of 1980 ms. This is the time to check the discharge of the game balls that have won the big winning device 39, and the number of winnings and the number of discharges until the time of this time is considered to be valid. The large winning device 39 only has the large winning opening sensor 39a, so the number of winnings and the number of discharging always match.

  Then, after an interval of the first round of 20 ms, it proceeds to the second round. The second to tenth rounds are the same as the first round except that the round display proceeds according to the progress of the rounds.

  The tenth round is the final round, and after closing the open / close door, an end interval (ending) of 10000 ms (10 seconds) is performed, which means the end of the special game. Although the big winning device 39 is also closed, in the liquid crystal display device 36, an ending display and an ending image are performed.

  The ending display is a character display such as "Fin" or "probability fluctuation mode entry" indicating that the special game is ended. In addition, the ending video is composed of a warning of the capture method and a company logo display. At the end of the end interval, a series of special games by the oddly-changed symbol jackpot are ended, and thereafter, the game in the probability fluctuation mode starts.

  Next, the non-probable variation pattern big hit will be described focusing on the parts different from the big variation pattern big hit. Non-probability symbol Special game by the big hit is composed of all five rounds. Also, after the end, the gaming state becomes the time saving mode. The time saving mode of the present embodiment ends when a predetermined number of (for example, 30) games are played.

  In the case of the special game of non-deterministic symbol big hit, the operation time etc of the opening and closing door of the first to fifth round is the same as the case of the positive symbol big hit, and after the residual ball discharge time of the fifth round which is the final round, Transition to the end interval (ending). In the ending display, for example, “time saving mode rush 30 times” is displayed.

  Next, various flags set at the end of the special game will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, various flags which are set after the end of any special game will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, "5 AH" is set in the general-purpose open extension state flag, the general-diagram drawing short transition state flag, the general-diagram probability fluctuation transition state flag, and the special-figure short transition state flag. "5AH" means that the flag is on.

  In the case of a probability variation symbol jackpot, "5AH" is set in the special figure probability fluctuation transition state flag. On the other hand, in the case of the non-probable variation pattern big hit, since it does not shift to probability fluctuation mode after the end of the special game, “00H” is set to the special figure probability fluctuation transition state flag. "00H" means that the flag is off.

  In addition, even in the case of the non-probable variation pattern big hit, it will be in the state (with electric chow support) that the opening and closing member of the ordinary motorized part frequently opens. Therefore, "5AH" is set to the above-mentioned common drawing probability fluctuation transition state flag regardless of the odd variation symbol and the non probable variation symbol.

  Also, in the case of a probability variation pattern big hit, "50" is set in the special figure time short count counter and the special figure probability variation frequency counter, and in the case of a non probability variation figure big hit, the special figure time short count counter is set "30", “0” is set to the special figure probability fluctuation number counter. Here, “50” and “30” mean 50 times and 30 games, and “0” means that a game with special figure probability fluctuation is not performed.

  The values of the special drawing time short time counter and the special drawing probability fluctuation time counter can be changed. For example, in the case of a probability variation symbol jackpot, if "70" is set in the special drawing time short time counter and the special figure probability fluctuation frequency counter, after the end of the special game, transition to 70 probability fluctuation mode.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, game management processing performed on the main control side will be described. The game management process described below is a timer interrupt process that is executed on the main loop on the main control side when the power on process ends normally.

  First, the main control board 24 performs timer management processing (step S10). The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a plurality of timers, such as a special symbol role thing operation timer, and each counts time concerning a game.

  The main control board 24 manages a large number of timers by updating various timers (subtracting the timers) according to the processing state. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S20, the main control board 24 performs a winning ball management process. This is a process performed when the game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 wins the first and second special symbol start openings 38a and 38b and the general winning opening 42. For example, a general winning opening sensor 42 a inside the general winning opening 42 detects a game ball, and transmits a ball detection signal to the main control board 24.

  When the main control board 24 receives the above signal, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal for paying out a predetermined number of winning balls toward the payout control board 29 (furthermore, the game ball payout device 19). After receiving the control signal, the game ball payout device 19 pays out a predetermined number of prize balls onto the upper storage tray 11 (when the upper storage tray 11 is full, the lower storage tray 12). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S30.

  In step S30, the main control board 24 performs normal symbol management processing. This is a process performed when the game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 passes through the normal symbol start gate 40a. Specifically, the starting gate passage sensor 40b inside the normal symbol starting gate 40a detects a game ball having passed the gate, and transmits a ball detection signal to the main control board 24.

  When the main control board 24 receives the signal, the main control board 24 acquires a random value of a normal symbol. A maximum of four random number values sampled can be stored, and the above random number value lottery is performed in the order of storage.

  In addition, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal to the normal symbol display device 43b. In the normal symbol display device 43b, the variation of the normal symbol is performed by the blinking of the LED, and the normal symbol stops and displays the mode of hit or drop according to the lottery result after a predetermined time has elapsed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S40.

  In step S40, the main control board 24 performs a normal electric role management process. This is a process of controlling the operation of the ordinary electric role according to the lottery result of the ordinary symbol. In the normal symbol management process (step S30), when the normal symbol hits and stops in the aspect, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal to the solenoid for the ordinary electric part and starts the second special symbol for a predetermined time. The opening and closing member of the opening 38b is opened.

  The main control board 24 closes the opening / closing member when the predetermined time has elapsed, or when a predetermined upper limit number of game balls wins in the second special symbol start port 38b before the predetermined time has elapsed. The control signal of (1) is sent to the solenoid for the ordinary motorized part. Thereby, the opening and closing member is closed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S50.

  In the normal symbol management process (step S30), when the normal symbol comes off and stops in an aspect, the opening / closing member is not opened, and the main control board 24 does not do anything, but the ordinary electric role game processing process Finish.

  In step S50, the main control board 24 performs special symbol management processing. This is a process performed when the game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 wins the first special symbol start port 38a or the second special symbol start port 38b.

  Although details will be described later, when the start winning opening sensors 38c and 38d detect a game ball, the start winning openings sensors 38c and 38d transmit a ball detection signal to the main control board 24, and the main control board 24 detects a ball detection signal. In response to this, one random number value is acquired from, for example, 600 random number values (lottery of special symbol), and an effect mode for the acquired random number value is determined.

  The main control board 24 transmits an effect command to the special symbol display device 43a. In the special symbol display device 43a, the variation of the special symbol by the 7-segment LED is performed, and the special symbol stops in the form of hitting or falling according to the lottery result after a predetermined time has elapsed. In addition, the variation of the special symbol is also displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 with a decorative symbol which can be surely recognized by the player. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S60.

  Finally, in step S60, the main control board 24 performs a special electric role management process. This is processing for controlling the operation of the big winning device 39 (hereinafter also referred to as a special electric combination) based on the lottery result of the special symbol.

  Although the details will be described later, when the special symbol stops in a hitting manner, it becomes a so-called big hit, and a predetermined number of rounds of special games are given to the player. In the special symbol management process (step S50), when the special symbol comes off and stops in a mode, the special electric role management process ends immediately. When the special electric role management process ends, the game management process also ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the special symbol management process performed in the game management process will be described. In the special symbol management process (FIG. 6: step S50), the main control board 24 determines a special symbol operation status (during variation waiting or variation) to be described later, and manages each process.

  First, the main control board 24 performs start opening check processing 1 (step S51). This determines whether or not the game ball has won the first special symbol start opening 38a. When there is a winning of the game ball to the first special symbol starting opening 38a, the main control board side CPU 241, out of 200 random value based on the ball detection signal sent from the starting winning opening sensor 38c Get one random value.

  The ROM 242 stores an effect information table 246 (see FIG. 9). The effect information table 246 has first to 600 effect modes associated with each of the 600 random numbers. The main control board side CPU 241 reads the effect mode corresponding to the acquired random number value from the effect information table 246. In addition, the main control board side CPU 241 acquires a big hit judgment flag based on the random number value, and also performs processing of storing it in the work area.

  If the game ball wins the first special symbol start port 38a during the variable display of the special symbol, the main control board side CPU 241 sets a random number value (lottery result) and an effect command including an effect mode in the hold storage area of the RAM 243. Remember. Further, the main control board side CPU 241 sends an effect command to the liquid crystal control CPU 261 of the liquid crystal control board 26 via the effect control board 25. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 stores the effect command in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 as hold information. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 also displays the hold information on, for example, the lower portion of the liquid crystal display device 36. The display of the holding information is performed, for example, by displaying a small black circle as the holding ball 271 (see FIG. 10). The hold information stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 is, for example, up to four, and up to four hold balls 271 are displayed. In addition, information indicating the lottery result in the variable display is displayed in the center of the lower portion of the liquid crystal display device 36 as a result suggesting ball 272 as a black circle.

  In step S52, the main control board 24 performs start opening check processing 2. It is determined whether or not the game ball has won the second special symbol start opening 38b, and the same processing as the start opening check processing 1 is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S53.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is 5AH (step S53). The condition device is a device that operates when a condition for continuing a big hit when a big hit occurs is established, and it is determined whether the condition device operating flag is turned on. If the condition device operation flag is on, it is determined as "YES" and the process proceeds to step S58.

  On the other hand, if the condition device operation flag is not on, it is determined as "NO" and the process proceeds to step S54. That is, steps S54 to S57 are processing in the case of the normal game mode in which no big hit occurs.

  If the determination in step S53 is "NO", the main control board 24 performs special symbol operation status determination (step S54). If the special symbol operation status (hereinafter also referred to as a special drawing operation status) is set to "00H" or "01H", the special symbol is "variation standby", so the process proceeds to step S55.

  If the special view operation status is set to "02H", the special symbol is "changing", so the process proceeds to step S56. Furthermore, when the special view operation status is set to "03H", since it is "during confirmation time" of the special symbol, it proceeds to step S57. The processing in each special view operation status will be described below.

  First, the special symbol variation start process (step S55) performed in the special symbol management process will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B.

  First, in FIG. 8A, the main control board side CPU 241 determines whether or not the special figure holding ball number is 0 (step S71). If the number of balls held in the special drawing is 0, it is determined as "YES" and the process proceeds to step S72. On the other hand, when the number of holding balls in the special view is not 0, it is determined as "NO", and the process proceeds to step S76 (see FIG. 8B).

  In step S72, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the first special symbol start opening 38a or the second special symbol start opening 38b. If the determination in step S72 is "YES", a random value is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S79.

  If the determination in step S72 is "NO", the main control board 24 determines whether the special view operation status is 00H (step S73). As will be described later, "01H" is set as the special view operation status immediately after the processing during the special symbol confirmation time (FIG. 7: step S57) is executed.

  If the special drawing operation status is "00H", it is determined as "YES", and the special symbol variation start process is ended. On the other hand, when the special view operation status is not "00H" (when it is "01H"), the determination is "NO", and the process proceeds to step S74.

  In step S74, the main control board 24 transmits a customer waiting demo command. The “wait for customer demo command” is transmitted from the main control board 24 toward the effect control board 25 when the number of balls reserved in the special view is 0 and the special view operation status is “01H”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S75.

  At step S75, the main control board 24 sets 00H to the special view operation status. The special symbol change start process is ended by this set, but thereafter, in the special symbol change start process, the process of “YES” in the determination of step S73 is repeated unless reserve information or a start hole winning is generated.

  If the determination in step S71 is "NO", the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the number of holding balls in the special view (FIG. 8B: step S76). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S77.

  In step S77, the main control board 24 transmits a hold subtraction command to the effect control board 25. Thereby, the hold display of the special symbol display device 43a (7-segment LED on the right side) and the hold display displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 are decremented by one. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S78.

  At step S78, the main control board 24 shifts the reserved storage area. The pending storage areas 1 to 4, which are the same as the maximum pending number, are shifted by 1 in accordance with the subtraction of the pending ball number. At this time, 0 is set for the pending storage area 4 in which the latest pending information is stored. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S79.

  In step S79, the main control board side CPU 241 performs a random number determination process for special motorized combination determination. This is a hit determination process of the special figure based on the acquired random number value. Further, processing for storing the big hit determination flag in the work area is also performed.

  In the present embodiment, since the big hit probability differs between the normal mode and the time saving mode, and the probability variation mode, the random number values that are the "big hit" are different. In the normal mode and the time saving mode, of the 600 random numbers, the random number 595 to 600 is a "big hit" random number, the random numbers 595 to 597 are non-probable pattern big hits, and the random numbers 598 to 600 are , It will be a jackpot probability symbol (see Figure 9). In the probability variation mode, the random numbers 541 to 600 are "big hit" random numbers, the random numbers 541 to 570 are non-probable variation symbols, and the random numbers 571 to 600 are probability variation symbols. Further, in the normal mode and the time saving mode, the random number values 581 to 600 are random number values that execute special effects and become "reach". Note that the number of random number values, random number values to be “big hit”, “reach”, and the like can be changed as appropriate.

  At step S80, the main control board 24 performs a game state transition preparation process. Here, when the big hit determination flag is on, the game state transition table according to the big hit type is selected, the value is stored in various buffers with reference to this. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S81.

  In step S81, the main control board 24 sets the in-fluctuating flag of the special view to 5AH. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S82.

  In step S82, the main control board side CPU 241 reads the effect mode corresponding to the acquired random number value from the effect information table 246, sends the effect command including the random value and the effect mode to the special symbol display device 43a, or the effect command or An effect execution command is sent to the effect control board 25. The main control board side CPU 241 sends an effect command to the effect control board 25 when the hold information is not stored, and an effect execution command when the hold information is stored. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S83.

  Finally, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the start of fluctuation (step S83). Specifically, "00H" (erased) is set in the random number storage area 0. In addition, since the special figure operation status is set to "02H" (during variation), in the next special symbol management process, the special symbol operation status determination (Fig. 7: step S54) will be described later during the special symbol variation processing (Fig. 7: FIG. 7: It branches to step S56). Thereafter, the special symbol variation start process is ended. Returning to FIG. 7, the process proceeds to step S58 described later.

  Next, the variation display process of the special symbol and the display process of the effect image will be described. The special symbol display device 43a performs variation display of the special symbol based on the effect mode of the effect command sent from the main control board side CPU 241. The effect image also includes a decorative symbol that is displayed in a variable manner.

  When the hold information is not stored, the effect control board side CPU 251 performs effects by controlling the operation of the sound effect of the speaker 7 and each LED based on the effect command sent from the main control board side CPU 241. The hold information is stored, and when an effect execution command is received, an effect is performed based on the hold information (effect command) stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263. Further, the effect control board side CPU 251 sends the effect command to the liquid crystal control board 26 when the hold information is not stored, and causes the liquid crystal control board 26 to execute the effect execution command when the hold information is stored. send.

  When the image display processor VDP 264 of the liquid crystal control board 26 receives the effect command, the effect display information stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 is received when the effect execution command is received based on the effect mode of the received effect command. The image processing of the image data of the effect to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 is performed based on the mode. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 causes the liquid crystal display device 36 to display the image data subjected to the image processing to perform effects in the effect mode determined by the main control substrate CPU 241. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 erases the hold information at the same time as starting the effect based on the hold information.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, the process when the image selection effect is performed by the liquid crystal display device 36 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the effect mode is predetermined according to the random number value. In the normal mode, if the random number obtained when the gaming ball wins the first and second special symbol starting openings 38a and 38b is 581 to 600, the decorative symbol is variably displayed to become reach, and the enemy character is displayed. After that, an image selection effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the image selection effect is an effect of selecting a character image of a main character attacking an enemy character (hereinafter referred to as a main character). The image selection effect is indicated by the main character 278 (for example, yellow and black stripes) of a special color (for example, yellow and black stripes) as specific color information (the main character 276 in blue, the main character 277 in red, and diagonal lines in FIG. 11). ) As a candidate and one of the images is selected. When the image selection effect is displayed, the decorative symbol is reduced and displayed at the lower right of the screen. In addition, the downward arrow of the center decorative symbol has shown the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when any image (for example, the special character main character 278) is selected in the image selection effect, only the selected image (special color main character 278) is enlarged and displayed. A fixed effect to be fixed is executed.

  At the same time as enlargement display of the selected image, notification of image selection is performed. In the present embodiment, when the special-color main character 278 is selected, the speaker 7 outputs a dedicated special-color notification sound. When the blue main character 276 is selected, the board decoration LED 35 emits light in blue, and when the red main character 277 is selected, the board decoration LED 35 emits light in red. When the main character 278 of the special color is selected, the board decoration LED 35 may be made to emit light with a special color light emission pattern that emits light in yellow, emits light in red, and turns off. Further, FIG. 11 schematically shows the output of the special color notification sound. Furthermore, the term "simultaneous" also includes the case of a slight deviation.

  The notification may be performed immediately before the enlarged display (decision effect) of the selected image, not simultaneously with the enlarged display of the selected image. Also, when a special color other than the main character 278 (in the present embodiment, the main character 276 in blue and the main character 277 in red) is selected, the board decoration LED 35 is emitted with a light emission pattern different from the light emission pattern for special color. It suffices to emit light, and the board decoration LED 35 may emit light in the same color (for example, white) by the blue main character 276 and the red main character 277.

  As shown in FIG. 9, according to the random value, the lottery result and the leading character image selected in the image selection effect are predetermined. In the present embodiment, out of 20 random number values (random numbers 581 to 600) for which image selection effects are performed, four main character 278 of special colors is selected for image selection effects, and a main character 272 of red color Is selected, and the blue main character 276 is selected ten.

  The main character image selected for "big hit" (random number 595 to 600) is the main character 278 of special color with the largest number 3 and a red main character 277 (two), a blue main character The order is 276 characters (one). That is, when the special color main character 278 is selected, the probability of hitting a big hit three times in four times (75%) becomes the red main character 277 (double hit in six times: 33%) or blue The possibility of a big hit is higher than that of the main character 276 (one hit in 10 times: 10%). Therefore, the player plays a game hoping that the special color main character 278 is selected in the image selection effect.

  When one of the images is selected in the image selection effect, an effect in which the selected main character confronts the enemy character is displayed, and for example, “big hit if the enemy is defeated” is displayed on the upper side (shown in FIG. Omitted).

  In the effect of the random number 595 to 600 of the "big hit", after the effect that the main character defeats the enemy character is displayed, the same three decorative symbols are displayed together (for example, "777").

  In the effect of random numbers 581 to 594 that reach (with image selection effect) with a loss, after the effect that the main character can not defeat the enemy character is displayed, two same decorative symbols and one different decorative symbol are arranged. It is displayed (for example, "767").

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the lottery result is a loss, there is a high possibility that the blue main character 276 is selected in the image selection effect. Also in this case, at the same time as the enlarged display of the selected blue main character 276, the board decoration LED 35 emits light in blue. That is, the enlarged display of the main character image performed simultaneously with the notification is the determined effect for determining the suggested effect, and the image selection effect in advance is the roaring effect. The player can distinguish the scruff effect from the determined effect by the light emission notification and / or the sound notification. In a gaming machine which can not distinguish between a beat effect and a decision effect, when the special color main character 278 is displayed in the beat effect, the player recognizes that the special color main character 278 has been decided. Sometimes. However, there is a case where the special color main character displayed in the stumbling effect is not selected, and in this case, the player is disappointed. In the present invention, since it is possible to distinguish between the beat effect and the fixed effect, the hit effect is only a hit effect and the special character 278 displayed as a candidate in the hit effect may not be selected. , The player can recognize. As a result, even when the special color main character 278 displayed as a candidate in the stumbling effect is not selected, the player is not disappointed.

  If the lottery result is a loss, an effect may be performed in which the displayed image is deleted without selecting any image in the image selection effect. In this case, the effect of not selecting any image is the determined effect, and at the same time the displayed effect is erased, the board decoration LED 35 emits light in white, for example. In this case, the panel decoration LED 35 may not emit light.

  In addition, the main character on which the character "losing" is drawn may be displayed as one of the options in the image selection effect. When the leading character of this "loss" is selected, the panel decoration LED 35 may not emit light.

  Next, the special symbol changing process (step S56) performed in the special symbol management process will be briefly described. The main control board 24 performs this processing when it is determined that the special drawing operation status is "02H" (during variation) in the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 7: step S54).

  The main control board 24 determines whether the special symbol combination product operation timer, which is a timer related to the fluctuation time of the special drawing, is 0 or not, and when this timer becomes 0, transmits the “variation stop command”. . In addition, although various settings are made at the time of fluctuation stop, the special symbol operation status is set to "03H" (during confirmation time), so in the next special symbol management processing, the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 7: step S54) Then, the processing will branch to processing during a special symbol confirmation time described later (FIG. 7: step S57). Thereafter, the special symbol changing process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B, processing during the special symbol confirmation time (step S57) performed in the special symbol management processing will be described.

  First, in FIG. 12A, the main control board 24 determines whether the special symbol combination product operation timer is 0 or not (step S111). Here, it is determined whether or not the time of the finalized display of the special view has passed. If the special symbol combination product operation timer becomes 0, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, if the special symbol combination product operation timer has not yet become 0, it is judged as "NO", and the processing during the special symbol confirmation time is ended (see FIG. 12B).

  If the determination in step S111 is "YES", the main control board 24 sets the special view operation status to "01H" (step S112). Since the special figure operation status is set to "01H" (during variation waiting), in the next special symbol management process, it is branched to the special symbol variation start process (FIG. 7: step S55) in the special symbol operation status determination. become. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S113.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the big hit flag is 5AH (step S113). This is a determination as to whether or not the jackpot flag is on. If the jackpot flag is on, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S114. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is not turned on, it becomes a judgment of "NO", and progresses to step S115.

  If the determination in step S113 is "YES", the main control board 24 performs various settings when the big hit symbol is stopped (step S114). For example, the jackpot determination flag is returned to "00H", and the condition device operation flag is set to "5AH". Thereafter, the processing is ended during the special symbol confirmation time.

  If the determination in step S113 is "NO", the main control board 24 determines whether the special view time shorting counter is 0 (step S115). The special drawing time shorting counter is a counter that counts the number of time-shortening modes, and for example, 0 is set in the normal mode.

  If the special drawing time shorting counter is 0, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 12B). On the other hand, when the special figure time shortness counter is not 0, it becomes "NO", and it proceeds to step S116.

  If the determination in step S115 is "NO", the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the special view time shorting counter (step S116). The following steps S116 to S118 are processing relating to the time-saving number of subtractions.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether the special figure time short counter is 0 or not (step S117). If the special drawing time shorting counter is 0, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S118. On the other hand, when the special drawing time shorting number counter is not 0, it becomes "NO", and it proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 12B).

  If the determination in step S117 is "YES", the main control board 24 performs various settings at the time reduction end (step S118). For example, the general drawing time short state flag and the special drawing time short state flag are set to "00H", respectively. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 12B).

  Next, in FIG. 12B, the main control board 24 determines whether the special figure probability variation counter is 0 or not (step S119). The probability variation mode of the present embodiment is limited in number, and the number of remaining probability variation modes is counted by the special figure probability variation number counter.

  If the special figure probability variation counter is 0, it is judged as "YES", and the processing is ended during the special symbol check time. On the other hand, if the Toku-zu probability variation counter is not 0, it becomes "NO", and the process proceeds to step S120.

  If the determination in step S119 is "NO", the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the special figure probability variation counter (step S120). The following steps S120 to S122 are processing relating to the subtraction of the number of probability variations.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether the special figure probability variation counter is 0 or not (step S121). If the Toku-zu probability variation counter is 0, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S122. On the other hand, when the special figure probability variation number counter is not 0, it becomes a judgment of "NO", and ends the processing during the special symbol check time.

  If the determination in step S121 is "YES", the main control board 24 performs various settings at the end of the probability variation (step S122). For example, the common drawing definite change state flag and the special view positive change state flag are set to "00H", respectively, and the processing is ended during the special symbol check time. Thereafter, the processing is ended during the special symbol confirmation time. After the processing during the special symbol confirmation time, the process proceeds to step S58 in FIG.

  Finally, the main control board 24 updates the special symbol display data (step S58). Specifically, the special symbol of the special symbol display device 43a is updated. Thereafter, the special symbol management process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the special electric bonus game management process performed in the game management process will be described. In the special electric role management process (FIG. 6: step S60), the main control board 24 has a special electric role operation status (big hit start process, special electric role start operation process, special electric role operation in progress process) described later. The special electric combination product operation continuation determination processing, the big hit end processing) is determined, and each processing is managed.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether the condition device operation flag is 5AH (ON) (step S61). If the condition device operation flag is 5AH, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S62. On the other hand, if the condition device operation flag is not on, it is judged as "NO", and this processing is ended. That is, the process after step S62 is processing when a big hit occurs.

  If the determination in step S61 is "YES", the main control board 24 performs a special electric combination product operation status determination (step S62). If the special electric combination product operation status (hereinafter also referred to as a special power operation status) is set to "00H", it is the "big hit start" time, so the process proceeds to step S63.

  When the special power operation status is set to “01H”, since “the special power activation is in progress”, the process proceeds to step S64. Similarly, when the special power operation status is set to “02H”, since “special power is in operation”, the process proceeds to step S65.

  Furthermore, when the special power operation status is set to “03H”, since “special power operation continuation determination is being performed”, the process proceeds to step S66, and when the special power operation status is set to “04H”, “big hit” Since the process is being completed, the process proceeds to step S67.

  The contents of the processes of steps S63 to S67 will be described in detail below. In addition, after these processing ends, the main control board 24 ends the special electric role management processing.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the jackpot start process (step S63) performed in the special motorized role property management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the start of the big hit (step S131). Specifically, the item continuous actuation device operation flag is turned on, and "01H" is set in the continuous number counter. The consecutive number counter is used to count the number of rounds in the special electric symbol combination operation continuation determination process described later (see FIG. 17), and "01H" means the first round.

  In addition, since the special electric combination product operation status is set to "01H" (during special power operation start), the special electric combination product operation start process (Fig. 13: next step S62). 13: The process proceeds to step S64). After various settings at the time of the big hit start are finished, it advances to step S132.

  In step S132, the main control board 24 sets various data according to the jackpot type. Specifically, the maximum number of rounds, the round display LED number, and the big hit start interval time are stored in the RAM 243. The jackpot start interval time is used in the special electric powered part operation start process described later (see FIG. 15). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S133.

  Finally, the main control board 24 transmits a big hit start interval command (step S133). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a "big hit start interval (fanfare) command" to the effect control board 25. Thereafter, the big hit start process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the special motorized product operation start process (step S64) performed in the special motorized product management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether the special symbol combination product operation timer is 0 or not (step S141). Specifically, it is determined whether the big hit start interval time has elapsed, or whether the inter-round interval time described later has elapsed.

  If the special symbol combination product operation timer has become 0, it becomes a determination of "YES", and the process proceeds to step S142. On the other hand, if the special symbol combination product operation timer has not yet become 0, it is judged as "NO", and the special electric combination product operation start process is ended.

  If the determination in step S141 is "YES", the main control board 24 transmits a special winning opening open command (step S142). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a "big winning opening open command" toward the effect control board 25. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S143.

  In step S143, the main control board 24 stores the special electric combination product operation time according to the jackpot type and the number of rounds in the special symbol combination product operation timer. For example, when the oddly-changed symbol jackpot is won this time, the special electric symbol combination operation time of each round of 10 is set to the special symbol combination object movement timer. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S144.

  In step S144, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the start of the opening operation. Specifically, the special winning opening winning number counter is set to "00H". “00H” means that the number of winnings is “0”.

  In addition, since the special electric combination product operation status is set to “02H” (during special power operation), the special electric combination product operation status processing (FIG. 13) is performed in the next special electric combination product operation status determination (FIG. 13: step S62). : It proceeds to step S65). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S145.

  Finally, the main control board 24 performs a special winning opening / closing operation setting process (step S145). In the special winning opening opening / closing operation setting process, the main control board 24 sets ON / OFF of the solenoid based on the big hit type, the number of rounds, the special symbol combination product operation timer, and the solenoid operation pattern. The solenoid referred to here is a solenoid that drives the open / close door of the attacker. Thereafter, the special winning opening / closing operation setting process is ended. Thus, the special motorized product operation start process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the special electric special-purpose prize in-operation process (step S65) performed in the special electric special-purpose prize management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not there is a winning on the special winning opening (step S151). A winning prize is detected by the special winning mouth sensor of the special winning mouth. If there is a winning on the special winning opening, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S152. On the other hand, when there is no winning, it becomes a judgment of "NO", and progresses to Step S155.

  If the determination in step S151 is "YES", the main control board 24 adds 1 to the number of winnings (step S152). That is, the special winning opening sensor counts the prescribed number of winnings for winning at the special winning opening. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S153.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the maximum winning number has been reached (step S153). If the maximum winning number has been reached, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S154. On the other hand, if the maximum winning number has not been reached yet, it is determined as "NO" and the process proceeds to step S155. The maximum winning number may be varied depending on the type of big hit.

  If the determination in step S153 is "YES", the main control board 24 clears the special symbol combination product operation timer (step S154). By clearing the special symbol combination product operation timer, it proceeds to processing when one round game is over (step S156 / YES). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S155.

  In step S155, the main control board 24 performs a special winning opening / closing operation setting process. The details of the special winning opening / closing operation setting process have been described in step S145 of FIG. 15, so the description will be omitted here. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S156.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether the special symbol combination product operation timer is 0 or not (step S156). Here, it is determined whether or not the special electric combination product operation time has elapsed. If the special symbol combination product operation timer has become 0, it becomes a determination of "YES", and the process proceeds to step S157. On the other hand, if the special symbol combination product operation timer has not yet become 0, it is judged as "NO", and the special electric combination product operation processing is ended.

  If the determination in step S156 is "YES", the main control board 24 transmits an inter-round interval command (step S157). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits an "inter-round interval command" toward the effect control board 25. The “inter-round interval command” is, for example, a command to notify transition to an interval between the first round and the second round. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S158.

  In step S158, the main control board 24 performs various settings 1 at the end of the opening operation. Specifically, the special motorized power product operation status is set to "03H" (during the determination of the special power operation continuation). As a result, in the next special electric combination product operation status determination process (FIG. 13: step S62), the process proceeds to the special electric combination product operation continuation determination process (FIG. 13: step S66). The main control board 24 performs various settings 2 at the end of the opening operation (step S159). Here, the special symbol character product operation timer is set to 1980 ms. This corresponds to the normal round residual ball discharging time. After that, the processing during the operation of the special electric symbol is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the special electric motor-operated product operation continuation determination process (step S <b> 66) performed in the special electric motor-operated product management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 performs a special winning opening winning number check process (step S161). The details of the special winning opening winning number check process are the same as the processes described in steps S151 to S154 of FIG. 16, so the description will be omitted here. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S162.

  In step S162, the main control board 24 performs a special winning opening / closing operation setting process. The details of the special winning opening / closing operation setting process are as described in step S145 of FIG. 15, and thus the description thereof is omitted here. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S163.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether the special symbol combination product operation timer is 0 or not (step S163). Here, it is determined whether the remaining ball discharging time has elapsed. If the special symbol combination product operation timer has become 0, it becomes a determination of "YES", and the process proceeds to step S164. On the other hand, if the special symbol combination product operation timer has not yet become 0, it is judged as "NO", and the special electric combination product operation continuation determination processing is ended.

  If the determination in step S163 is "YES", the main control board 24 determines whether the maximum number of rounds has been reached (step S164). In the present embodiment, when the maximum 10th round (probable symbol big hit) or the fifth round (non-probable symbol big hit) is reached, it is determined as "YES", and the process proceeds to step S168. On the other hand, until the ninth round (probable variation symbol big hit) or the fourth round (non-probable variation symbol big hit), it becomes a judgment of "NO", and it progresses to step S165.

  If the determination in step S164 is "NO", the main control board 24 adds 1 to the consecutive number counter (step S165). That is, it becomes a process which counts the number of rounds of special games. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S166.

  In step S166, the main control board 24 stores the inter-round interval time in the special symbol prize product operation timer. The inter-round interval time is used in the special electric powered part operation start process when it returns to the process (see FIG. 15). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S167.

  In step S167, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the time of continuation. Specifically, the special motorized product operation flag is set to "00H". The special motorized product operation flag is set to "00H" in the case of "start", "between rounds" or "end" of the big hit round, but here it is "between rounds".

  In addition, since the special electric combination product operation status is set to "01H" (during special power operation start), the special electric combination product operation start process (Fig. 13: next step S62). 13: The process proceeds to step S64). Thereafter, the special electric combination product operation continuation determination process is ended.

  Next, when the determination in step S164 is "YES", the main control board 24 performs various settings at the end (step S168). Specifically, the special motorized product operation flag is set to "00H". The special electric combination product operation flag is set to “00H” because the big hit round is “end”.

  Also, since the special power operation status is set to "04H" (during a big hit), in the next special electric combination product operation status determination (FIG. 13: step S62), the big hit end processing (FIG. 13: step S67) become. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S169.

  In step S169, the main control board 24 stores the end interval time in the special symbol prize product operation timer. The end interval time is used in the jackpot end process described later (see FIG. 18). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S170.

  Finally, the main control board 24 transmits a big hit end interval command (step S170). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a "big hit end interval (fanfare) command" to the effect control board 25. Thereafter, the special electric combination product operation continuation determination process is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the big hit end process (step S67) performed in the special motorized role property management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol combination product operation timer is 0 (step S171). Here, it is determined whether the end interval time has elapsed. If the special symbol combination product operation timer becomes 0, it becomes a determination of "YES", and the process proceeds to step S172. On the other hand, if the special symbol role thing operation timer has not yet become 0, it becomes a judgment of "NO", and the big hit end processing is ended.

  If the determination in step S171 is "YES", the main control board 24 performs various settings 1 at the end of the big hit (step S172). Specifically, the condition device operation flag, the number-of-consecutive-counts counter, the maximum number-of-consecutive-counts buffer, etc. used in each step during the special electric role management process are all cleared. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S173.

  In step S173, the main control board 24 performs various settings 2 at the end of the big hit. The details of the setting are as described in FIG. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S174.

  In step S174, the main control board 24 performs various settings 3 at the end of the big hit. Specifically, since the special power operation status is set to "00H" (big hit start), in the next special electric combination product operation status determination (FIG. 13: step S62), the big hit start processing (FIG. 13: step S63) I will go forward. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S175.

  Finally, the main control board 24 updates the game state notification information (step S175). For example, when shifting to the time saving game state after this, the notification lamp is turned on during the time saving. After that, the big hit end processing ends. The process performed by the main control board 24 has been described above.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 19, main processing performed on the sub control side will be described. The main process includes an initialization process performed when the effect control board 25 is activated.

  First, the effect control board 25 performs an initialization process (step S181). This is mainly to perform various initial settings of the effect control board 25 and is performed only once at the time of activation. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S182.

  Next, the effect control board 25 determines whether the main loop update period has come (step S182). The main loop is processing from steps S184 to S189 described later, and the update cycle is 16 ms.

  When the process proceeds to step S182, when 16 ms of the update cycle has elapsed, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S184. On the other hand, in the state before 16 ms elapses, the update period is not set, so the determination is "NO". In this case, the process proceeds to step S183.

  If the determination in step S182 is "NO", the effect control board 25 performs update processing of various soft random numbers (step S183). Thereafter, the processing of steps S182 and S183 is repeated until the update period is reached. During this loop, a timer interrupt process (see FIG. 20) of 1 ms cycle is executed, but the effect control board 25 counts the number of times of this interrupt process and determines whether the above 16 ms has elapsed or not. judge.

  If the determination in step S182 is "YES", the effect control board 25 performs an LED data update process (step S184). As described above, steps S184 to S189 are processing of the main loop, but here, the light emission aspect of the decoration LED is changed by updating the data of the frame decoration LED 8 and the panel decoration LED 35. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S185.

  In step S185, the effect control board 25 performs a receiving command analysis process. This analyzes the type of the received control command, and performs various settings according to it. For example, when the “big hit start interval command” transmitted in the big hit start process (see FIG. 14) is received, the effect control board 25 sets a pre-start interval. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S186.

  In step S186, the effect control board 25 performs a main scenario update process. Specifically, the effect is updated according to the received control command. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S187.

  In step S187, the effect control board 25 performs a sound output process. Specifically, sound is output from the speaker 7 according to the scenario. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S188.

  In step S188, the effect control board 25 performs a solenoid update process. Specifically, the detailed operation of the solenoid used for the movable part is set. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S189.

  Finally, the effect control board 25 performs a noise countermeasure process (step S189). Specifically, it is checked whether the peripheral LSI is affected by noise. When this process ends, the process returns to step S182, and the subsequent processes are continuously executed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the timer interrupt process on the secondary control side will be described. This is an interrupt process that is executed in a cycle of 1 ms with respect to the above-mentioned secondary control side main process (see FIG. 19).

  First, the effect control board 25 initializes the CPU register (step S191). Specifically, the port refresh initial value is set. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S192.

  In step S192, the effect control board 25 performs output processing. Specifically, output processing of a solenoid or a motor used for the movable part is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S193.

  In step S193, the effect control board 25 performs an effect button input state update process. The effect control board 25 updates the input state when the effect buttons 13 and 14 are operated. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S194.

  In step S194, the effect control board 25 performs switch input state update processing. Specifically, the input information of the volume switch 31 or the like is confirmed, and a process according to the information is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S195.

  In step S195, the effect control board 25 performs a liquid crystal control command transmission process. For example, the effect control board 25 transmits the effect command selected by the effect counter to the liquid crystal control board 26. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S196.

  In step S196, the effect control board 25 performs a motor update process. Specifically, the detailed operation setting of the motor used for the movable part is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S197.

  In step S197, the effect control board 25 performs an LED data output process. Specifically, LED data output is performed to light and blink the frame decoration LED 8 and the board decoration LED 35 at necessary timing. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S198.

  Finally, the effect control board 25 increments the main loop update cycle work by 1 (step S198). This is processing for incrementing the work for the main loop update cycle by one in order to count 16 ms which is the update cycle of the main loop process (FIG. 19: steps S184 to S189). Thereafter, the timer interrupt process is ended. The series of operations of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment have been described above.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the enlarged display of the main character performed simultaneously with the notification sound is a determined effect which is determined by suggesting a lottery result, and the image selection effect in advance is a roaring effect. The player can distinguish the beat effect and the decision effect by the notification by the light emission and / or the sound output, and recognizes that the effect executed in the hit effect is a effect which inspires a sense of expectation to the big hit to the last be able to. In this way, it is possible to perform an effect that is not selected in the finalized effect while displaying an image with a high probability of a big hit if selected, with a turning effect, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. Furthermore, even when such a rendition is executed, the player can not be discouraged because it can be recognized that the rendezvous effect is given.

  In addition, one of blue main character 276, red main character 277, and special color main character 278 that suggests the possibility of becoming a big hit is selected, and blue main character 276 and red main character 277 are selected. In the case where the main character 278 of the special color is selected, the notification by the light output is performed, and the notification by the sound output is performed. It is easy to understand that the special color main character 278 that is likely to be selected is selected. Thereby, the interest of the game can be enhanced.

Second Embodiment
In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 21 to FIG. 26, when the random number value of the hold information is a predetermined random number value, liquid crystal display is performed during the variable display of the special view instead of the image selection effect of the first embodiment. The display pattern (color) of the holding ball 271 displayed at the lower left of the device 36 is changed.

  The main control means checks the random number value of the hold information during the variable display of the special view, and determines whether the random number value of the hold information is a predetermined random number value (for example, random number value 581 to 600 which becomes reach) Do. If it is determined in this holding result determination that the predetermined random number value is selected, the color of the holding ball 271 of the predetermined random number value among the holding balls 271 displayed at the lower left of the liquid crystal display device 36 is the random number value. Hold display color change effect to change to the color according to. In the present embodiment, a description will be given of the on-hold display color change effect in which the color of the storage ball 271 is changed from black to white, blue, green, and red in order.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the on-hold display color change effect, a dedicated character image (hereinafter referred to as a character) 281 is displayed. This character 281 has a change storage ball 282 for the color to be changed (in this case, white). At this time, it is a turning effect, and it is not decided to change the display color of the holding ball 271. That is, an effect may be performed in which the character 281 and the change holding ball 282 disappear without changing the display color of the holding ball 271. Such an effect of not changing the display color of the holding ball 271 is performed when the random number value of the holding information is a predetermined random number value.

  As shown in FIG. 22, when the random number value of the holding information is a predetermined random number value (for example, a random number 598), the white changing holding ball 282 is directed from the character 281 toward the corresponding black holding ball 271. The ball is thrown and the holding ball 271 is changed to white. At this time, it is a turning effect, the effect is not determined, and the notification is not performed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 23, the blue change holding ball 282 is thrown from the character 281, and the holding ball 271 is changed to blue. Even at this time, it is a turning effect, the effect is not determined, and the notification is not performed.

  After the holding ball 271 is changed to blue, as shown in FIG. 24, the green changing ball 282 is thrown from the character 281 and the holding ball 271 is changed to green. Even at this time, it is a turning effect, the effect is not determined, and the notification is not performed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, the red change storage ball 282 is thrown from the character 281 and the storage ball 271 is changed to red. The effect that the holding ball 271 is changed to red is the determined effect, and at the same time, a normal notification sound is output from the speaker 7, and the panel decoration LED 35 emits light in red. The same effect is performed also when the random number values of the hold information are 590 to 593, 596. Note that the holding ball 271 may be changed from white to red, for example, without changing to white, blue, green and red in order.

  As shown in FIG. 26, in the on-hold display color change effect, the sound output pattern from the speaker 7 in the confirmed effect and the light emission pattern of the panel decoration LED 35 are determined in advance. Further, in the turning effect, there is no sound output from the speaker 7 and no light emission of the panel decoration LED 35.

  Hereinafter, the notification mode in the fixed effect will be described. When the random number value of the holding information is 581 to 584, the white changing holding ball 282 is thrown from the character 281 toward the corresponding holding ball 271, and the holding ball 271 is changed to white. The effect that the holding ball 271 is changed to white is the determined effect, and at the same time, a normal notification sound is output from the speaker 7, and the board decoration LED 35 emits light in white.

  When the random number value of the holding information is 585 to 587, the white changing holding ball 282 and the blue changing holding ball 282 are sequentially thrown from the character 281 toward the corresponding holding ball 271, and the holding ball 271 is held. Is changed to white and then to blue. The effect that the holding ball 271 is changed to blue is the determined effect, and at the same time, a normal notification sound is output from the speaker 7, and the panel decoration LED 35 emits light in blue.

  When the random number value of the holding information is 588, 589, 595, the white change holding ball 282, the blue changing holding ball 282, the green changing holding ball 282 from the character 281 toward the corresponding holding ball 271. Is thrown in order and the holding ball 271 is changed to white, blue and green in order. The effect that the holding ball 271 is changed to green is the determined effect, and at the same time, a normal notification sound is output from the speaker 7, and the panel decoration LED 35 emits green light.

  When the random number value of the holding information is 594, 597, the white change holding ball 282, the blue changing holding ball 282, the green changing holding ball 282, red for the corresponding holding ball 271 from the character 281 The holding ball for change 282 and the holding ball for changing special color 282 are thrown in order, and the holding ball 271 is sequentially changed to white, blue, green, red and special color. The effect that the holding ball 271 is changed to the special color is the finalized effect, and at the same time, the special color notification sound is output from the speaker 7, and the panel decoration LED 35 emits light with the special color light emission pattern.

  It should be noted that “no decision” of the mini character color in the confirmed effect in FIG. 31 is an effect in which the mini character 291 disappears without the color being determined, although the mini character 291 is displayed. In addition, “white” in the confirmed effect remains white even when the mini character 291 appearing in white jumps and lands, and is determined in this white.

  Further, the color of the mini character 291 may be changed from white to blue, green, red, special color, or rainbow by performing the jump effect of the mini character 291 multiple times. Furthermore, the color of the mini character 291 displayed first is not limited to white, and may be displayed first in red and changed to a special color, for example. Also, the color of the mini character 291 may be changed from white to special color, for example, without changing from white to blue, green, red, special color, and rainbow in order.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 32, when the mini character 291 is displayed in a special color or a rainbow by turning effect, the panel decoration LED 35 may be made to emit light with a light emission pattern according to the display color.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 33, a plurality of (for example, three) mini characters 291 may be displayed in turn as a turning effect, and a confirmation effect of selecting any one may be performed. In this embodiment, the mini character 291 having the character "losing" is drawn so that if it is selected, it will be determined, or if it is selected, the effect will be as if continuous effects are being performed within the same variable display. There may be displayed a mini character 291 in which a character of "suspicious" is drawn or a pseudo continuous advance notice effect occurs or continues.

  When a confirmed effect is performed in which one of the three mini characters 291 is selected, sound output from the speaker 7 and light emission of the panel decoration LED 35 are simultaneously performed according to the notification pattern shown in FIG. In addition, when the mini character 291 of "losing" is selected, there is no sound output from the speaker 7 in the determined effect, and no light emission of the panel decoration LED 35.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 34, when there is no mini character 291 of “losing” in the turning effect, “losing” may be made in the finalized effect. The finalized effect of this “loss” is an effect in which the three mini characters 291 disappear without selecting any of the three mini characters 291 displayed. In this case, there is no sound output from the speaker 7 in the determined effect or light emission of the display panel decoration LED 35.

  Also in this embodiment, simultaneously with the confirmation effect of selecting one of the three mini characters 291, sound output from the speaker 7 and light emission of the panel decoration LED 35 are performed with the notification pattern shown in FIG. In addition, the combination of the mini characters 291 displayed in the turning effect is not limited to those shown in FIGS. 33 and 34 and can be changed as appropriate.
