The random number updating means 40 sequentially updates the jackpot random number for determining whether or not to play the jackpot game every minute time (0.1 μs) within the set range (0 to 199), and when the jackpot game is played. The big hit symbol random number for determining the big hit symbol is sequentially updated every minute time (4 ms) within the setting range (0 to 199).

  The random number updating means 40 sequentially updates the reach random number and the fluctuation pattern random number every minute time within the set range (0 to 99). Reach random numbers can be used to perform special effects that indicate that there is a high probability that a big hit game will be played to the player on the main image display device 16 when the big hit game is not played. This is a random number for determining whether or not to make a specific variation pattern longer than the specific variation time (13.5 s). The variation pattern random number is a random number for determining a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol.

  The symbol information acquisition means 41 is a jackpot random number updated by the random number update means 40 when the random number acquisition condition is satisfied when the number of first special symbol hold is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first starting port 10. Then, various random values (big hit random number value, big hit symbol random number value, reach random number value, variable pattern random number value) acquired from the big hit symbol random number, reach random number and variation pattern random number are acquired as a set of first special symbol information.

  The symbol information acquisition means 41 is a jackpot random number updated by the random number update means 40 when a random number acquisition condition is satisfied when the number of second special symbol hold is less than 4 when the game ball wins the second start port 11a. Various random values (big hit random number value, big hit symbol random number value, reach random number value, fluctuation pattern random number value) acquired from the big hit symbol random number, reach random number and variation pattern random number are acquired as a set of second special symbol information.

  The number of the first special symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 and stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 becomes the first special symbol reservation number, and the second special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 The number of symbol information is the second special symbol hold number.

  When the first and second special symbols are in the variable stop state and any of the first and second special symbol holding numbers is 1 or more, a start condition for starting the variable symbol display is established. For each establishment, the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is erased (suspended) from the special symbol information storage means 42 one by one for determination by the special symbol information determination means 43. Here, when a plurality of special symbol information is held, the plurality of special symbol information is subjected to the reservation in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41, provided that the first and second When both of the special symbol information are on hold, the second special symbol information is given priority to the first special symbol information and is put on hold.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the big hit determining means 43a performs a big hit game advantageous to the player on the basis of the big hit random number of the special symbol information that has been put on hold due to the establishment of the start condition for starting the variation display of the special symbol. A big hit lottery to determine whether or not to perform. Specifically, the jackpot determination means 43a uses the jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 6 and performs a jackpot game that opens the jackpot 13a when the jackpot random number value of the special symbol information matches the jackpot specific value. judge. As a gaming state with a probability of being determined to play a jackpot game (a special symbol jackpot winning probability), a “low probability gaming state” with a relatively low jackpot winning probability and a “high probability gaming with a relatively high jackpot winning probability” State ".

  In both the low-probability gaming state and the high-probability gaming state, the range that the big hit random number can take is set to 300 from “0” to “299”. In the low-probability gaming state, the jackpot probability is set to 1/300, for example, and if the jackpot random number value obtained from 300 jackpot random numbers is “3” that matches the jackpot specific value, it is determined to be a jackpot Is done. On the other hand, in the high-probability gaming state, the jackpot probability is set to 10/300, for example, and the jackpot random number value acquired from among the 300 jackpot random numbers matches the jackpot specific value `` 3 '', `` 7 '', If it is any one of “36”,..., “250”, it is determined as a big hit. For this reason, in the high probability gaming state, the big hit probability is higher than that in the low probability gaming state, so that the gaming state is advantageous to the player.

  The symbol determining means 43b determines (selects) the jackpot symbol to be stopped based on the jackpot symbol random value of the special symbol information when the jackpot determining means 43a determines that the jackpot game is to be performed, and the jackpot game A determination is made as to which of a plurality of types of jackpot games with different opening degrees of the middle jackpot 13a, that is, the degree of advantage (the number of game balls that can be acquired), and the gaming state after the jackpot game ends. .

  The symbol determination means 43b uses a symbol determination table shown in FIG. 7 to determine a plurality of big hit symbols (big hit symbols X1 to X4, Y1 to Y4 shown in FIG. 7) when the big hit determination means 43a determines that a big hit game is to be performed. ) Is selected, and if it is determined not to play the big hit game, the lost symbol is selected. The possible range of the jackpot symbol random number is set to 250 from “0” to “249” regardless of whether the special symbol information is the first special symbol information or the second special symbol information.

  As shown in FIG. 7, jackpot symbols X1, X2, Y1, and Y2 are determination symbols indicating determination results of jackpots called “probability variation jackpots”. The jackpot symbol X3, Y3 is a determination symbol indicating a determination result of the jackpot called “Crush hit big hit”. The jackpot symbol X4, Y4 is a determination symbol indicating a determination result of the jackpot called “normal jackpot”.

  When the special symbol information is the first special symbol information, the jackpot symbol X1 is selected at a rate of 3%, the jackpot symbol X2 is selected at a rate of 37%, and the jackpot symbol X3 is selected at a rate of 10%. The jackpot symbol X4 is selected at a rate of 50%.

  When the special symbol information is the first special symbol information, the ratio of selecting the big hit symbol Y4, which is usually a big hit, is set high, while the special symbol information is the second special symbol information Is set to a high ratio for selecting the big hit symbol Y1 that is a probable big hit.

  In the special symbol information determining unit 43, the reach determining unit 43c basically has a plurality of effect symbol display modes on the display screen of the main image display device 16 when the jackpot determining unit 43a determines that the big hit game is to be performed. Although it is displayed in a predetermined reach state, when it is determined by the jackpot determining means 43a that the big hit game is not performed, the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol is changed to the main symbol based on the reach random number value of the special symbol information. It is determined whether or not the image display device 16 has a specific variation pattern for executing the reach effect.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the fluctuation pattern determining means 43d is a determination symbol selected by the symbol determining means 43b based on the determination result by the big hit determining means 43a (the jackpot determining symbols X1 to X4, Y1 to Y4, the lost symbols). In any case, the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol is determined based on the determination result by the reach determination means 43c (whether or not to make the specific variation pattern), the variation pattern random value, and the like.

  The special symbol display control means 44 starts the variable display of the first special symbol when the first special symbol information is suspended, and the second special symbol information is triggered when the second special symbol information is suspended. The variation display of the symbol is started, that is, the special symbol is variably displayed over the variation time defined by the variation pattern, and the determination symbol indicating the determination result is confirmed and stopped.

  If the special symbol display control means 44 determines that the big hit game is to be played by the big hit determination means 43a, the special symbol display control means 44 will hit one of the big hit symbols X1 to X4 and Y1 to Y4 selected by the symbol determination means 43b. When the symbol is confirmed and stopped, and it is determined that the big hit game is not performed, the lose symbol is confirmed and stopped.

  The special game execution means 45, when it is determined by the big hit determination means 43a that the big hit game is to be performed, when the big hit symbol is displayed in a definite stop display, the big hit symbol (the big hit symbol X1-X4, Y1-Y4) The big hit game which opens the big winning opening 13a with the opening pattern according to any of the above is started. The big hit game includes an opening game, a plurality of round games (long open round game or short open round game), and an ending game.

  When any one of the big hit symbols X1, X2, X4, Y1, Y2, Y4 is confirmed and displayed, the big hit game having a higher degree of advantage than the big hit games based on the big hit symbol X3, Y3 is performed, that is, the big winning opening 13a. A big hit game in which an advantageous advantageous state in which a prize ball can be obtained by winning a game ball to the player continues for a predetermined period is performed, and the big hit symbol X1, Y1 is more than the big hit symbol X2, X4, Y2, Y4, A big hit game in which the advantageous state continues for a period longer than the predetermined period is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when the big hit symbol X1, Y1 is confirmed and displayed, a long open round game of 16R ("R" means round) is performed, and the big hit symbol X2, Y2 Is displayed with a fixed stop, a 4R long-open round game is performed, and when a big hit symbol X4, Y4 is displayed with a fixed stop, a 4R long-open round game is performed. In the long open round game, the grand prize opening 13a is opened and closed over the number of rounds to be executed, and in each round game, for example, 10 game balls are won in the big prize opening 13a after the opening of the big prize opening 13a (prescription) The number of winning prizes 13a is closed when a round end condition of 29.5 seconds (regular opening time) elapses is satisfied. In the round game, for example, 15 prize balls are paid out in response to the winning of one game ball to the big prize opening 13a.

  When the big hit symbols X3 and Y3 are confirmed and stopped, a 4R short-open round game is performed. In the short opening round game, the grand prize opening 13a is opened and closed over the number of rounds to be executed, and in each round game, for example, 10 game balls are won in the big winning opening 13a after the opening of the big prize opening 13a (prescription) The number of winning prizes 13a is closed when a round end condition of 0.1 seconds (specified opening time) elapses, for example, is established.

  The short open round game is a round game in which it is difficult to win a game ball to the big prize opening 13a because the specified opening time of the big prize opening 13a is extremely short compared to the long open round game. Therefore, in the short open round game, since the game balls hardly win the big winning opening 13a, the substantial number of rounds that can win the prize ball is “0” R.

  In the big hit game, the round interval time from the end of each round to the start of the next round (the big winning opening 13a is closed) is set to about 2.0 seconds. This round interval time is set so that the winning ball SW13c by the start of the next round game will prevent the game ball won in the winning game port 13a open in each round game from winning the next round game. Therefore, the time can be reliably detected.

  The predetermination means 46 acquires the special symbol information by the symbol information acquisition means 41 before the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is determined by the special symbol information determination means 43. When this is done, the special symbol information is determined to be equivalent to the determination by the special symbol information determination means 43 (that is, whether or not to perform a big hit game, determination of a big hit symbol and a lost symbol, a specific variation pattern) Determination of whether or not to perform, determination of variation pattern of special symbols) in advance.

  The random number update means 40 sequentially updates the hit random number for determining whether or not to perform an auxiliary game every minute time (4 ms) within the set range (0 to 199), and determines that the auxiliary game is to be performed. In this case, the winning symbol random number for determining the winning symbol is sequentially updated every minute time (4 ms) within the set range (0 to 9).

  The symbol information acquisition means 41 establishes a random number acquisition condition when the number of normal symbols held is less than 4 when the game ball passes through the gate 12, and from the winning random numbers and the winning symbol random numbers updated by the random number updating means 40 The acquired winning random number value and winning symbol random number value are acquired as a set of normal symbol information. The number of normal symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 and stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 is the number of normal symbol reservations.

  When the normal symbol is in the variable stop state and the number of normal symbols held is 1 or more, a start condition for starting the normal symbol variation is established, and is stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 every time the start condition is satisfied. The normal symbol information is erased (held erased) from the normal symbol information storage unit 52 for the determination by the normal symbol information determination unit 53 sequentially one by one. Here, when a plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are held, the plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are subjected to the above-described processing in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 and are digested.

  In the normal symbol information determination unit 53, the hit determination unit 53a performs an auxiliary game advantageous to the player based on the hit random number value of the normal symbol information that has been suspended due to the establishment of the starting condition for starting the variation of the normal symbol. If it is determined whether or not to perform an auxiliary game, the symbol determination means 53b determines a winning symbol to be stopped and displayed based on the winning symbol random value of the normal symbol information, and during the auxiliary game The opening pattern of the second start port 11a, that is, which of a plurality of auxiliary games having different degrees of advantage is determined, and when it is determined that the auxiliary game is not performed, a lost symbol is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, “non-short game state” and “short-time game state” are the game states having the probability of determining that the auxiliary game is performed by the hit determination means 53 a (ordinary winning probability of normal symbols). There is. The short-time gaming state has a relatively high probability of being determined to perform the auxiliary game by the hit determination means 53a as compared to the non-short-time gaming state (for example, 10/10). In the short-time gaming state, when it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be performed, the opening time of the second start port 11a is set to be relatively long compared to the non-short-time gaming state (for example, 1.0 second × 6 times, or 2.0 seconds × 3 times), and the normal symbol variation time is set to a relatively short state (for example, 0.5 seconds). Also, in the short-time gaming state, the variation time of the special symbol is shortened compared to the non-short-time gaming state.

  As described above, in the short-time gaming state, when the game ball passes the gate 12, it is determined that the auxiliary game is performed with a relatively high probability, and the second start port 11a is opened for 1.0 second × 6 times (2.0 seconds × 3 times). Thus, it becomes easy for the game ball to win the second start port 11a. Therefore, it becomes a gaming state that is advantageous to the player in which the jackpot determination of the second special symbol is performed one after another.

  On the other hand, the non-short-time gaming state is set to have a relatively low probability (for example, 1/10) that it is determined that the auxiliary game will be performed, compared to the short-time gaming state. In the non-short-time gaming state, when it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be performed, the opening time of the second start port 11a is set to be relatively short compared to the short-time gaming state (for example, 0.1 second × 1 time, or , 0,1 second × 1 time + 5.6 seconds × 1 time), the normal symbol variation time is set to a relatively long state (for example, 12 seconds).

  As described above, in the non-time-saving gaming state, even if it is determined that the game ball passes through the gate 12 and performs the auxiliary game, the second start port 11a is 0.1 seconds × 1 time (0.1 seconds × 1 time + 5.6 (Second × 1)), the game ball is difficult to win the second starting port 11a.

  The normal symbol display control means 54 starts the normal symbol variable display when the normal symbol information is suspended, and when “non-short game state” is set, the “short time game” is displayed for 12 seconds. When “status” is set, the normal symbol is variably displayed for 0.5 seconds, and then the winning / losing symbol indicating the determination result by the normal symbol information determining means 53 is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be performed, the auxiliary game executing means 55 displays the second start port 11a in an open pattern corresponding to the winning symbol a or b after the winning symbol a or b is stopped and displayed. Auxiliary games that are advantageous to the opening player are performed. The opening pattern of the second start port 11a is set according to the type of winning symbol and the non-short time / short time gaming state.

  The gaming state control means 60 sets one gaming state among a plurality of gaming states (normal gaming state, short-time gaming state, probability variation gaming state), and controls the game in the set gaming state. As shown in FIG. 11, the gaming state control means 60 sets the gaming state to the low probability gaming state or the high probability gaming state, and sets the non-time short gaming state or the time short gaming state.

  Here, the low-probability gaming state and the non-short-time gaming state are referred to as “normal gaming state”, the low-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state are referred to as “time-short gaming state”, and the high-probability gaming state and time-short gaming state are referred to as “probability gaming state”. It should be noted that when the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is continuously set, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed when the power is turned on, the normal gaming state is set.

  When the big hit game is played by the special game executing means 45, the game state control means 60 changes the setting of the game state after the big hit game as shown in FIG. When the jackpot symbol X1 to X3 and Y1 to Y3 are confirmed and stopped, the game state after the jackpot game is set to the probability change game state. After the probability variation gaming state is set, if the jackpot determining means 43a does not determine that a big hit game is determined until the number of times the special symbol display on the special symbol indicators 19a and 19b reaches 10,000, the setting is changed to the normal gaming state. To do.

  In the probability variation gaming state, the big hit winning probability is set to a high probability, and the game ball is likely to win the second starting port 11a. Therefore, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed, and the big hit determination of the second special symbol by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 11a is performed one after another, and a relatively short period of time. Since there is a high possibility that the next big hit will be won, the probability variation gaming state is likely to continue even after the end of the big hit game, which is a very advantageous gaming state for the player.

  When the big hit symbol X4, Y4 is a regular big hit with a fixed stop display, the gaming state after the big hit game is set to the short-time gaming state. After setting the short-time gaming state, if the jackpot determining means 43a does not determine that a big hit game will be performed before the special symbol indicator 19a, 19b reaches the number of times of variable display of 100 times, the setting is changed to the normal gaming state. To do.

  Next, a specific process in which the variation pattern determination unit 43d determines the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol in the special symbol information determination unit 43 will be described. In order to determine the variation pattern (time) of the special symbol, a variation pattern determination table is provided, and the variation pattern determination means 43d uses the variation pattern determination table corresponding to the current gaming state to change the variation pattern of the special symbol. To decide. Based on the determined special symbol variation pattern, the special symbol variation time is determined, and the special symbol variation pattern designation command to be transmitted to the effect control board 23 is specified.

  When the normal gaming state is set, using the variation pattern determination table for the normal gaming state shown in FIG. 12, one of the first or second special symbols among the plurality of first or second special symbol variation patterns is used. When the variation pattern of the symbol is determined and “probability variation gaming state” is set, the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol is determined using the variation pattern determination table for probability variation gaming state shown in FIG. . Specifically, when it is determined that the big hit game is to be performed by the big hit determination means 43a, based on the big hit symbol type and the fluctuation pattern random value of the first or second special symbol information, a plurality of big hit variation patterns One variation pattern is determined from among them. In addition, since it is comprised so that reach may be basically performed when it is a big hit, the reach random number value is not referred to when it is a big hit.

  On the other hand, when it is determined by the big hit determination means 43a that the big hit game is not performed (losing), a plurality of random numbers based on the reach random number value, the fluctuation pattern random number value, and the special symbol hold number of the first or second special symbol information. One variation pattern is determined from the variation patterns for loss. When the probability variation gaming state is relatively lost compared to the normal gaming state (for example, when the reach ratio when the second special symbol hold number is 2 or 3 is low), the variation time is short (for example, 3 seconds) The rate at which the fluctuation pattern of shortening fluctuation is determined is set high. The reach random number and the fluctuation pattern random number are set to 100 random numbers ranging from “0” to “99”, respectively.

  Although illustration is omitted, when the short-time gaming state is set, the variation pattern determination table for the short-time gaming state is used.

  As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the game effect is produced by the production means 80 (the main image display device 16, the sub image display device 18, the computer using the production control board 23, the image / sound control board 24, and the lamp control board 25. The effect control means 70 to be performed by the movable accessory device 17, the speakers 27a and 27b, the frame lamp 28a, and the panel lamp 28b) is configured.

  Based on the control information (control command) received from the game control board 21, the effect control means 70 determines one effect pattern to be executed from among a plurality of effect patterns set and stored in advance, and the determined effect pattern The production means 80 is controlled based on the above. Thereby, display of various effect images (moving images) by the main image display device 16 and the sub image display device 18 based on the effect pattern, the operation of the movable accessory 17a by the movable accessory device 17, and the sound output from the speakers 27a and 27b. In addition, lighting and blinking operations of the frame lamp 28a and the panel lamp 28b are realized, and game effects of various effects are performed.

The effect control means 70 includes a symbol variation effect control means 71, an effect mode setting means 72, a special game effect control means 73, a sound control means 74, a sound setting means 75, and the like.
The symbol variation effect control means 71 causes the main image display device 16 to execute variation display of three effect symbols on the basis of one effect pattern determined from among a plurality of effect patterns, and to display the effect symbol variation display. An effect indicating that there is a possibility that a big hit game is likely to be played (for example, a big hit notice effect by a video using a character related to a predetermined motif) is executed, and the determination result of the big hit determination means 43a is shown In the display mode, the design variation effect of stopping and displaying the three effect symbols is performed.

  In order to determine the effect pattern, a plurality of effect pattern determination tables corresponding to the current effect mode (normal mode, probability change mode, time reduction mode) set by the effect mode setting means 72 are provided. Uses the effect pattern determination table corresponding to the current effect mode to determine the effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol.

  The normal mode effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14 includes a plurality of special symbol variation patterns (variation patterns 1, 2, 3,...) Stored in the normal gaming state variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. ) Are stored in advance, and a plurality of effect contents (aspects) corresponding to each of the plurality of effect patterns are stored. .

  15 includes a plurality of special symbol variation patterns (variation patterns 111, 112, 113... Stored in the probability variation gaming state variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. ) Are stored in advance, and a plurality of effect contents (modes) corresponding to each of the plurality of effect patterns are stored.

  Although not shown, an effect pattern determination table for the short time mode corresponding to the short time gaming state is provided, and the short time mode effect pattern determination table includes a plurality of variation pattern determination tables stored in the short time gaming state. A plurality of effect patterns previously associated with each of the special symbol variation patterns and a plurality of effect contents (modes) corresponding to each of the plurality of effect patterns are stored.

  The effect mode setting means 72 sets an effect mode corresponding to the current gaming state. The effect mode notifies the currently set gaming state. Specifically, in the normal gaming state, a normal mode for notifying that the game is controlled in the normal gaming state is set, and in the short-time gaming state, the game is controlled in the short-time gaming state. Is set to the short time mode for notifying the player, and when the game is in the probability changed game state, the probability change mode for notifying that the game is controlled in the probability changed game state is set.

  In setting the effect mode corresponding to the current gaming state, for example, a background image to be displayed on the main image display device 16 and / or to be displayed on the main image display device 16 is displayed on the main image display device 16. The display state (for example, typeface) of the character image or effect design is made different from the display mode in other effect modes, thereby notifying the current gaming state.

  When the game is controlled in the normal gaming state, since the normal mode is set, when the first special symbol becomes a big hit symbol using the normal mode effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. When 1 (variation time: 17 s) is determined, the production pattern 1 corresponding to the variation pattern 1 is determined, and when the first special symbol is a lost symbol, the variation pattern 12 (variation time: 13.5 s) is determined. Then, the effect pattern 12 corresponding to the variation pattern 12 is determined. On the other hand, since the probability variation mode is set when the game is controlled in the probability variation gaming state, the second special symbol becomes a big hit symbol using the effect pattern determination table for the probability variation mode shown in FIG. In this case, when the variation pattern 111 (variation time: 17 s) is determined, the effect pattern 111 corresponding to the variation pattern 111 is determined, and when the second special symbol becomes a lost symbol, the variation pattern 126 (variation time: 3 s) Is determined, the effect pattern 126 corresponding to the variation pattern 126 is determined.

  In this way, the effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol determined by the variation pattern determination unit 43d is uniquely determined. Also, whether or not a notice effect (for example, reach reach effect) is executed, and reach effect (SP1 or 2 reach effect, SP / SP1 or 2 reach effect (“SP” means special)) is executed. The type of the notice effect to be executed and the type of the reach effect are uniquely determined by the effect pattern to be executed.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the reach effect is provided with a plurality of types of SP reach effects (SP1, SP2) and a plurality of types of SP / SP reach effects (SP · SP1, SP · SP2). The SP reach production is a production with a higher jackpot expectation than the normal reach, and the SP / SP reach production is a production with a higher jackpot expectation than the SP reach production. In the reach production, the production contents are different for each type of SP reach production, and the expectation level for jackpot is set differently. The production contents are different for each type of SP / SP reach production, and the expectation level for jackpot is different. Is set.

  Regarding the notice effects, not all notice effects are uniquely determined by the effect pattern. For example, a so-called lively notice effect such as a serif notice effect or a mini character notice effect is determined by lottery.

  A notice effect lottery table is provided in order to determine whether or not to execute a notice effect such as a serif notice effect or a mini character notice effect. In the notice effect lottery table, a specific value for determining whether or not to execute the notice effect is set. When the random number value acquired from the random number for the notice effect at the start of the variation of the special symbol matches the specific value, it is determined to execute the notice effect.

  For example, when the normal mode is set in the normal gaming state, the effect mode setting means 72 wins the big hit, and when the probability changing gaming state is set after the big winning game is ended, the probability changing mode is set. If the jackpot determining means 43a does not determine that a big hit game is to be performed by the jackpot determining means 43a by the time the number of times of the special symbol change display reaches 10000 times (decision of losing), the gaming state is changed from the probability changing gaming state to the normal gaming state, The effect mode is similarly changed from the probability change mode to the normal mode.

  The special game effect control means 73 causes the big hit effect to be executed when the special game execution means 45 is playing the big hit game. The big hit effect is composed of an opening effect executed during the opening game, a round effect executed during the round game, and an ending effect executed during the ending game. The main image display device 16 produces the big hit effect. An image (moving image) is displayed, and BGM (music) and SE (sound effects, voices, etc.) for big hits are reproduced and output from the speakers 27a, 27b, and the lamps 28a, 28b are lit and displayed in various lighting patterns. The gimmick effect by the movable accessory 17a is executed. The effect during the big hit can amplify the joy of having won the big hit of the player and enhance the feeling of uplifting.

  The special game effect control means 73 determines the effect pattern of the big hit effect based on the opening command received at the start of the big hit game, and displays the main hit effect image (moving image) corresponding to the determined effect pattern as the main image display. While being displayed on the device 16, the big hit / boom effect BGM or SE (sound effect) corresponding to the displayed big hit / boom effect image (moving image) is reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b. The effect image (moving image) of the jackpot effect pattern is composed of an opening effect image, a round effect image, and an ending effect image. The sound of the jackpot effect pattern includes an opening effect SE, a round effect BGM, and an ending effect. It is composed of SE.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (1), using the jackpot effect pattern determination table, it corresponds to the jackpot symbol and the jackpot game (type of jackpot) selected by the symbol determination means 43b from a plurality of jackpot effect patterns. The performance pattern during a single hit is determined uniquely. The jackpot effect pattern determination table includes a plurality of jackpot effects patterns (a jackpot effect pattern X1, a jackpot effect pattern X2,...) Previously associated with each of the plurality of jackpot symbols and the jackpot game, and a plurality of jackpot effects patterns. An effect mode (content) corresponding to each of the big hit effect patterns is stored.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (2), when the big hit symbol X3 or the big hit symbol Y3 which is the 4R sudden hit big hit is stopped and displayed, the probability variation continuation effect is uniquely determined. In the case of 4R sudden big hit, a short opening round game in which the specified opening time of the special winning opening 13a is set to be extremely short is executed, so that the round game is digested at a high speed, so that the round effect video and the round effect BGM are used. Even if the production is performed during the big hit, the production effect is weak. Therefore, in the case of 4R sudden hit big hit, the probability variation continuation effect dedicated to the sudden big hit game is displayed to display that the hit is big hit. In this probability variation continuation effect, for example, the character string “probability variation continuation !!” is displayed on the display screen of the main image display device 16 from the start to the end of the sudden hit game, and the speaker 27a. 27b, a SE (sound effect) for notifying that the probability variation gaming state continues is reproduced and output.

The audio control unit 74 sets the audio mode to be reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b, the audio output volume and the like based on the audio data registered in each of the plurality of reproduction channels by the audio setting unit 75 and outputs the audio. Execute output processing. The audio data defines the type of audio effect to be reproduced and output, the content of the audio (music, sound effects, speech audio, etc.), the reproduction output time and output volume of the audio, and the like.
The sound setting means 75 registers and sets sound data of sound to be reproduced and output in accordance with the sound effect to be executed, among a plurality of sound data set and stored in advance for each type of sound effect, in the reproduction channel.

  FIG. 17 shows the correspondence between the audio data and audio contents of a plurality of audios that are set and stored for each audio effect type by the audio setting means 75 and the reproduction channels used to register the audio data. It is shown.

  The plurality of sound data 1, 2... For design variation effect is sound data that can be output and selected for each set effect mode (normal mode, time reduction mode, probability change mode). When the symbol variation effect is executed in the normal mode, the normal mode BGM audio data is selected from a plurality of audio data (audio data 1, 2,...), And the selected normal mode audio data is selected. Are registered in the playback channels 0 and 1. The normal mode BGM is composed of music without a song (that is, music with only a melody, processed music). For example, the audio data 1 is the audio data of the normal mode BGM1 song N1 and the audio data 2 is different from the normal mode BGM1 song N1 and the normal mode BGM2 song N2 song N2. Audio data.

  For example, the music N1 without a song of the BGM1 for normal mode is composed of a plurality of sound parts of intro, a melody, b melody, savimero, c melody, etc. Is started to display a variation, the reproduction output of the music N1 is started from “Intro”. When the start voice part of the music N1 without a song in the normal mode BGM1 is set to “Sabi-Mero”, each time a plurality of effect symbols start to change display in the symbol change effect in the normal mode. , The reproduction output of the music N1 is started from “Sabimero”. Alternatively, the normal mode BGM 1 song 1 without a song may be set to reproduce and output only “Sabi-Mero”.

  In the normal mode, when a predetermined music switching condition is satisfied (for example, every time the number of symbol fluctuations reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 20 times)), a music switching lottery is performed. The music of the BGM is switched to the music of another BGM. For example, in the normal mode, when the music N1 of the normal mode BGM1 is being played back and output, if the music switching lottery is selected, the music N1 of the normal mode BGM1 is switched to the music N2 of the normal mode BGM2. For example, a predetermined music switching condition may be satisfied every time a predetermined time (for example, 120 seconds) elapses, or when a reach variation design effect is performed, or a player A predetermined music switching condition may be established when the effect button SW6a or the cross key button SW6b is operated.

  When the symbol variation effect is executed in the probability variation mode, the sound data of the probability variation mode BGM is selected from a plurality of sound data (sound data 7, 8,...), And the selected sound data is reproduced in the reproduction channel. 0 and 1 are registered. The probability variation mode BGM is composed of music with a song. For example, the sound data 6 is the sound data of the music F1 with the BGM1 song for probability variation mode, and the sound data 7 is the sound of the music F2 with the song of the BGM7 for probability variation mode, which is different from the music F2 of the BGM7 for probability variation mode. It is data. In this way, when the symbol variation effect is executed in the normal mode, the music without a song is reproduced and output as BGM, while when the symbol variation effect is executed in the probability variation mode, the song with a song is reproduced as the BGM. Is output.

  Here, when the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern for executing the reach effect is performed, the reach effect BGM is preferentially reproduced and output. Therefore, in the symbol variation effect, the effect mode BGM is reproduced and output from the start of the variation display of the three effect symbols to the start of the reach effect, but with the start of the reach effect, it is changed to the reach effect BGM. Switch.

  Each of the plurality of audio data 11, 12... Of the reach effect BGM has a song associated with each of a plurality of types of reach effects (SP1 reach, SP2 reach, SP / SP1 reach, SP / SP2 reach). When the reach effect is started in the symbol variation effect, the sound data corresponding to the reach effect to be executed is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1.

  When the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 2 for executing the SP1 reach effect is being executed, the audio data 11 is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1 when the SP1 reach effect is started. The SP1 reach production is a battle-type reach production in which a friendly character related to a predetermined motif battles with an enemy character, and the audio data 11 is audio data of a song R1 with a song that matches the content of the battle. is there.

  When the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 4 for executing the SP2 reach effect is performed, the audio data 12 is registered in the channels 0 and 1 when the SP2 reach effect is started. The SP2 reach production is a character-type reach production in which a character with a predetermined motif appears and the appearing character challenges the mission, and the audio data 12 is a music R2 with a unique song that matches the appearing character. Audio data. As described above, in the reach effect, the music with a song is reproduced and output as the BGM. Therefore, when the effect variation pattern effect effect for executing the reach effect is executed in the normal mode, three effect symbols are started. When the music without a song is reproduced and output and the reach production is started, the music with a song is reproduced and output.

  The plurality of audio data 21, 22,... For the notice effect includes the SE (sound effect), sound effect, and speech associated with each of the contents of the plural kinds of notice effects (the serif notice effect and the mini character notice effect). Voice data such as voice. When the notice effect is executed, the sound data for the notice effect is registered in the reproduction channels 2 and 3. The audio data 21 and 22 are speech audio data for speech notice effect.

  The voice data 21 is reproduced and output in accordance with the display of the character telop when the character telop of “work! It is the voice data of the voice of "". The audio data 22 is a “chance” line of “chance” that is reproduced and output in accordance with the display of the character telop when the character telop “chance !!” is displayed during the variation display of the effect symbol in the symbol variation effect. This is voice data. In this way, the content of the audio that is reproduced and output is different for each type of line notice.

  The plurality of sound data 31, 32,... For the big hit effect are the sound data of the BGM or SE for the big hit effect. When the big hit effect is executed, the sound data of the big hit effect BGM or SE is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1. For example, the audio data 31 is the sound data of the sound effect of the “cue” for the opening effect SE of the jackpot effect pattern X1 for the 16R probability variation jackpot, and the voice data 32 is the round of the jackpot effect pattern X1 for the 16R probability variation jackpot. The audio data 33 is the audio data of the music with the effect BGM song, and the audio data 33 is the audio data of the “probability change continuation” audio of the ending effect SE of the jackpot effect pattern X1 of 16R probability change big hit. The big hit production BGM and SE will be described in detail later.

  The error notification sound data 41, 42,... Is error notification sound data associated with each of a plurality of errors. When a ball clogging error occurs, the audio data 41 is registered in the reproduction channels 4 and 5. The voice data 41 is voice data of a voice of “please remove the sphere” that is reproduced and output when a ball clogging error occurs. When a big prize opening illegal prize occurs, the audio data 42 is registered in the reproduction channels 4 and 5. The sound data 42 is sound data of a buzzer sound that is reproduced and output when a large winning opening illegal winning occurs. As described above, the contents of the audio data reproduced and output for each type of error are different. The volume of the error notification sound is set according to the content of the error. For example, when an error that is not caused by fraud such as a full dish error or a game ball out-of-game error occurs, the volume of the error notification sound when an error due to fraud such as a big prize opening illegal prize or a magnetic sensor error occurs Is set to be higher than the volume of the error notification sound.

  As shown in FIG. 18, a round effect moving image is displayed on the display screen of the main image display device 16 in a round effect based on the big hit effect pattern determined by the special game effect control means 73, and a speaker 27a. 27b, the round effect BGM is reproduced and output.

  For the round effect animation and the round effect BGM, the effect image X1 and the music 1 are uniquely determined when the effect pattern X1 during the big hit (the 16R probable big hit game by the big hit symbol X1 of the first special symbol) is executed, When the 4R probability variation big hit game hit effect pattern X2 (4R probability variation big hit game by the first special symbol big hit symbol X2) is executed, the effect video X2 and the music 2 are uniquely determined, and the big hit hit effect pattern X4 ( When the 1R special jackpot symbol X4 4R normal jackpot game is executed, the effect video X4 and the music 3 are uniquely determined, and the jackpot effect pattern Y2 (the second special symbol jackpot symbol Y2 4R probability change) When the big hit game is executed, the production video Y2 and the music 4 are uniquely determined, and the big hit medium production pattern Y4 (second special symbol) If 4R normal jackpot gaming according to the jackpot symbol Y4) is executed, effect video Y4 and song 11 is uniquely determined. In this way, one piece of music is associated with one effect video.

  On the other hand, when the big hit effect pattern Y1 (16R probability variable big hit game by the big special symbol Y1 of the second special symbol) is executed, the production animation Y1 is uniquely determined, whereas the round effect BGM is determined. When one song is currently set / stored, the one song is uniquely determined. When a plurality of songs are currently set / stored, one song is selected from the plurality of songs. Is determined by lottery. When a plurality of pieces of music are set and stored in this way, one of the plurality of pieces of music is selected for one effect moving image.

  As shown in FIG. 18, for the round effect BGM corresponding to the big hit effect pattern Y1, a new piece of music is added and set and stored every time the 16R probable big hit is won in Renren. 5, additional music 6 ...), the number of selectable music (types of music) increases. For example, when the 16R probability variation jackpot is won in the Renso, if the currently set / stored music is only the music 4, the music 5 is newly added. In addition, at the time of consecutive resorts, at least two or more songs may be added every time the 16R probability variation jackpot is won. Further, even when the 16R probability variation jackpot is won when not in a retreat, a new piece of music may be added.

  Here, the term “renso” means that when the probability variation big win is won in the probability variation gaming state and the probability variation big winning game ends, the probability variation gaming state is set again a predetermined number of times. Renso is a winning game for the first big hit in the normal gaming state, and after the probability changing big game is set, the winning game state is set and then the normal big hit is won in the odd gaming state. The probability variation gaming state duration period until the probability variation gaming state ends based on the end of. When you are in a renja, it is set to a high-probability gaming state, and if you win a big jackpot, the percentage that wins a promising big jackpot is set high, so 4R or 16R probable big hits are likely to occur continuously, The player can win a large number of prize balls.

  When you are in Renren, every time you win a 16R probable big hit, the number of songs that can be selected increases, but there is a limit to the number of songs that can be newly added (only the number of additional songs stored in advance). ) If the number of songs that can be added exceeds the preset limit on the number of additional songs when winning the 16R probable big hit in Renso, no new songs are added. In this case, the next music set in the probability variation mode is reproduced and output as the music for the round effect BGM. For example, referring to FIG. 17, when the probability variation mode BGM set in the probability variation mode is the music F1 of BGM1, the music F2 of BGM2 set next is reproduced and output. In addition, no new music is added even if winning a promising big hit other than the 16R probable big hit in the Renso. For example, even if a 4R probability change big hit or 4R sudden hit big hit is won in the probable gaming state during a recreational game, no new music is added.

  The 4R probability variation jackpot game has fewer rounds than the 16R probability variation jackpot game, and game balls are continuously launched toward the grand prize opening 13a by the player's intention to operate the launch handle 7, and the big prize opening When a game ball continuously wins 13a, a specified number (10) of game balls wins the big winning opening 13a in a time shorter than the specified opening time (29.5 seconds), thereby allowing a 4R long open round game. The player will not get bored even if the same music is reproduced and output in the 4R long open round game every time the 4R probability variation big win is won. This is because, in the smashing big hit game, the above-described probability variation continuation effect dedicated to the struck big hit game is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 19, if the 16R probability variation jackpot is won in the Renso, when the music set / stored until the corresponding selection is one of the music 4, the music 5 is newly added, A lottery table 1 capable of selecting any one of the music 4 and the additional music 5 is set, and either the music 4 or the additional music 5 is selected based on the music selection ratio of the set lottery table 1. . In the lottery table 1, the selection ratio of the music 4 is set to 40%, the selection ratio of the music 5 is set to 60%, and the selection ratio of the music 5 is set higher than the selection ratio of the music 4.

  If the 16R probability variation jackpot is won in the Renzhuang, when the music set and stored until the corresponding selection is two music, the music 4 and the additional music 5, the music 6 is newly added and the music 4, A lottery table 2 capable of selecting any one of the additional music pieces 5 and 6 is set. Based on the music selection ratio of the set lottery table 2, any one of the music piece 4, the additional music piece 5 and the additional music piece 6 is set. Selected. In the lottery table 2, the selection ratio of the music 4 is set to 20%, the selection ratio of the music 5 is set to 30%, the selection ratio of the music 6 is set to 50%, and the selection ratio of the music 6 is the selection ratio of the music 4 and 5 Is set higher than.

  Thus, every time an additional music is newly set / stored, the selection ratio of the additional music is set higher than the selection ratio of the music already set / stored, so that the jackpot game of 16R probability variation jackpot It is possible to prevent the same music from being played and output as much as possible, so that the sound production performed in the big hit game in the Renso will not be monotonous and the player will not get bored it can.

  In addition, if you win a normal jackpot in the promiscuous gaming state in the Renso, the short-time gaming state is set after the normal big-hitting game is over, and the probable big hit will be reached by the time the number of times the special symbols change display reaches 100 times in the short-time gaming state. Otherwise, the gaming state is changed from the short-time gaming state to the normal gaming state, so that the protracted gaming state duration period ends. When one or more additional music pieces are set and stored at the end of the retreat, all of the additional music pieces that are set and stored are deleted. For example, when the music pieces 4 to 6 are set and stored at the end of the retreat, the additional music pieces 5 and 6 are deleted. The music 4 is not deleted because it is the default music.

  In the big hit production, the music with the song of the BGM for round production that is reproduced and output in the round production is reproduced and outputted when the song with no song is reproduced / output with the symbol variation production or with the reach production. Compared to songs with songs, it is a song that can enhance the excitement of a player who has made an effort to amplify the joy of winning a big hit by a player, but the digestion speed of round games in a big hit game (For example, the time until ten game balls win (predetermined number of winnings) in the big winning opening 13a), and the melody of which voice part of the plurality of voice parts constituting the music before the big hit game ends. The playback output will change.

  In the 16R long open round game in 16R probability variation big hit game, the game ball is intermittently launched toward the grand prize opening 13a by the player's intention to operate the launch handle 7, and the game ball is intermittently won in the big prize opening 13a. Then, when the specified opening time (29.5 seconds) has passed and the digestion speed of the round game in which the big prize opening 13a is closed is reached, before the 16R long opening round game ends, the end of the music (for example, music 4) When the melody of the voice part is reproduced and output (one tune is completed), the same music (for example, music 4) is reproduced and output again, or another music (for example, music 5) is reproduced and output.

  On the other hand, in the 16R long-open round game in the 16R probability variation big hit game, the game ball is continuously fired toward the big prize opening 13a by the player's intention to operate the launch handle 7, and the game ball is put in the big prize opening 13a. When winning continuously, the digestion speed of the 16R long open round game is faster because a specified number (10) of game balls win the big winning opening 13a in a time shorter than the specified opening time (29.5 seconds). In this case, it may happen that the melody of the last audio part of the music is not reproduced and output until the 16R long open round game is finished. Also, depending on the number of rounds of the long open round game in the big hit game, it may happen that the music is not reproduced and output until the last sound part melody by the end of the long open round game.

  Even if the newly added additional music is selected and played back in the Renso, the additional music is played to the last voice part melody before the round game ends. If it ends without being output, there is a possibility that the player cannot obtain a sufficient satisfaction. In addition, when the additional music ends without being reproduced and output to the melody of the last voice part, in the probability variation game state after the end of the 16R probability variation big hit game, the player's sense of uplifting heightened by the probability variation big hit is interrupted. Play a game.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when winning a promising jackpot game in the consecutive resort, the music of the round effect BGM is reproduced and output in the round game in the probable jackpot game, and when the round game ends, the round effect is used. When the BGM music is not reproduced and output to the melody of the last audio part, the BGM music for round effect reproduced and output in the round game even in the probability variation game state set after the end of the ending effect and the probability variation big hit game. Continue playback output without interruption.

  Here, the continuation of the reproduction output of the music without interruption is a control state in which the music is continuously reproduced and output at the same volume, and there is a period in which the volume of the music is muted (volume 0) or a minimum sound, but the reproduction is continuously output. The control state is one of a state and a control state in which the volume of the music goes up and down but continues to be played back. On the other hand, when the volume of the music is set to mute or minimal sound, the player is unable to hear the music from the speaker, and the music reproduction output is intermittent.

  However, when the BGM music for the round effect BGM that was played back at the time of the probable big hit game is being played and output in the probable game state after the end of the probable big hit game, the reach effect in the design variation effect When the melody of the last audio part of the music for the round effect BGM is not reproduced and output, the reproduction output of the music for the round effect BGM is terminated and switched to the music for the reach effect BGM.

Next, a specific example of the effect mode of the big hit effect that is executed when winning the probable big hit that is the first win in the symbol variation effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 20, when the game is controlled in the normal game state, the normal mode is set, and a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the first special symbol is performed, and the first start port 10 is entered. Based on the first special symbol information obtained by winning the game ball, a non-reach losing (normally losing) effect pattern 11 is performed, and the audio data 1 of the music N1 of the normal mode BGM1 is played on the playback channel 0, 1 is registered. The start voice part of the music N1 is set to “Savimero”.

  When the change display of the three effect symbols is started, the reproduction output is started from “Sabi-Mero” of the music N1, the left effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “7”, and then the right effect symbol is “3”. The combination display mode “753”, which is temporarily stopped and displayed, is in a non-reach state where the two left and right effect symbols are not aligned with the same symbol, the medium effect symbol is temporarily stopped with “5”, and indicates the determination result of non-reach loss. The confirmation stop display is displayed and the reproduction output of the music N1 is ended.

  Here, the temporary stop display looks like three effect symbols are stopped and displayed at first glance, but in reality, the three effect symbols are slightly moved (for example, the three effect symbols fluctuate up and down). Is a stop display state indicating that the symbol variation continues. On the other hand, the fixed stop display is a stop display state indicating that the symbol variation has ended and the determination result of the jackpot determination has been fixed because the three effect symbols do not slightly move.

  In the normal mode, after the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 11 is completed, the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 2 of the normal reach → SP1 jackpot is executed based on the first special symbol information by the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 10. The The change display of the three effect symbols is started, and the reproduction output is started from “Sabi-Mero” of the music N1. After the symbol variation display is started, the left effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “3”, then the right effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “3”, and the left and right effect symbols are in a reach state with the same symbol. . The reach state is a variation display mode that gives a player a sense of expectation of a big hit, such that a part of the combination of a plurality of production symbols that inform the jackpot is temporarily stopped and other production symbols are displayed in a variable manner. is there. For example, it means a mode in which the left effect symbol and the right effect symbol are temporarily stopped at “3” and the middle effect symbol is displayed in a variable manner.

  When the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped at “3” and the reach state is reached, the left and right effect symbols “3” move to the screen corner side and are reduced to the small symbols to develop into SP1 reach effects and reach effects. A video is displayed. When the SP1 reach effect is executed, the audio data 11 of the music R1 of the SP1 reach effect BGM is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1, and the BGM is switched from the music N1 to the music R1.

  In the SP1 reach production, a battle production production video in which the main character related to a predetermined motif attacks an enemy character by kicking or punching is displayed, and the music R1 is reproduced and output in accordance with the battle production production video. The

  Here, the music R1 reproduced and output at the time of SP1 reach production is composed of six audio parts set in the reproduction order of intro, A melody, B melody, C melody, Savi melody, and D melody. When the SP1 reach effect is a successful effect, the winning scene is a scene where the leading character wins the enemy character based on the playback output time of the music R1 and the playback start time of each audio part. Is adjusted so that the melody of the latter half of the sound part of the simmero of music R1 is reproduced and output. Specifically, when the SP1 reach production is started, the intro and A melody of the music R1 is omitted, and the reproduction output is started from the B melody (that is, the reproduction is not output according to the original music). . On the other hand, when the SP1 reach effect is a failure effect in which the leading character is defeated by the enemy character, the playback output is started from the intro when the SP1 reach effect is started.

  In the SP1 reach production, after the battle starts, if the leading character attacks the enemy character with a good skill and wins a successful production, the combination display mode “333” in which the three small symbols indicate the determination result of the 4R probability variation big hit. After the temporary stop is displayed, the three effect symbols “333” are confirmed and stopped, and it is informed that the so-called first hit 4R probability variation big win is won. When the 4R probability variable big hit game, which is the first hit, is started, the big hit middle effect pattern X2 corresponding to the 4R probability variable big hit game is performed.

  In the first hit 4R probability variation big hit game, in the opening production corresponding to the opening game, a big hit notification image (for example, “BONUS !!”) suggesting that it is a 4R probability variation big hit, an operation instruction image for prompting a right strike For example, a character string “Aim for an attacker!” Is displayed, and an opening effect SE (for example, an effect sound of a quine or a bonus sound) is reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b.

  When the opening game ends and the 4R long open round game is started, in the round effect corresponding to the 4R long open round game, a video for round effect is displayed and a suggestion image (for example, “ BONUS ”), right-handed operation promotion image (right-handed character and right arrow display), round-number suggesting image (ROUND1) that suggests the number of rounds being executed, and an image of an effect symbol at the time of a big hit (for example,“ 4 ”), an image indicating the name of the music being reproduced and output (for example,“ name of music 4 ”) is displayed, and the BGM for round effect is reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b.

  In the first round 4R probable big hit game, in the round production corresponding to the 4R long open round game, the production video X2 as a video for round production is displayed, and this production video X2 is a professional player of a character related to the baseball motif. It is an animated movie depicting the story after that. As the round effect BGM, the music 4 is reproduced and output along the story of the effect video X2.

  When the 4R long open round game is finished and the ending game is started, in the ending effect corresponding to the ending game, a big hit end notification image (for example, “Big hit game end” character) that notifies the end of the 4R probability variation big hit game Acquired prize ball number notification image indicating the number of prize balls paid out in the 4R long open round game (for example, “600 points acquired !!”), game state change notification for informing that the game state shifts to the probable game state Images (for example, a character string of “probability change mode entry!”) Are sequentially displayed, and an ending effect SE (sound of “probability change mode entry” line or the like) is reproduced and output.

  Further, in the first big hit game, in the ending effect corresponding to the ending game, a game state change notification image, a CI (Corporate Identity) display information image, a card return promotion display image are sequentially displayed, and each of these images is displayed. SE corresponding to is reproduced and output.

  The gaming state change notification image notifies that the gaming state shifts to the short-time gaming state or the probability-changing gaming state. For example, the character strings of “short-time mode entry!” And “probability variation mode entry!” Is displayed. The CI display information image displays a manufacturer name or the like of the manufacturer or distributor of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The card return promotion display image prompts the player to return the prepaid card and alerts the user to forget to remove the prepaid card. The CI display information image includes information for impressing the player on the CI display maker, and the card return promotion image includes information for preventing theft of the prepaid card. Therefore, the CI display information image is highly important for the player and the manufacturer. Information.

  Therefore, even when the 4R long open round game of the 4R probability variation big hit game at the beginning is finished and the music 4 is not reproduced and output to the melody of the last voice part, it is important information for the player and the manufacturer in the ending game. Attention is paid to a certain card return promotion display image and CI display information image, and in order to emphasize the sound of SE corresponding to each of these images, the reproduction output of the music 4 is ended when the 4R long open round game is ended. To do.

  When the ending game of the 4R probability variation big hit game for the first time is completed, the probability variation game state from the first hit is set, so that the probability variation game state continuation period is in progress. Since the probability variation mode is set corresponding to the probability variation gaming state, the display screen of the main image display device 16 is switched to the effect image dedicated to the probability variation mode. In the reaming game, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed in the probability variation gaming state, and the non-reach loser is performed based on the second special symbol information obtained by winning the game ball at the second starting port 11a. The symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 121 of (normally lost) is executed.

  As for the probability variation mode BGM, the music 4 that has been reproduced and output during the round game of the 4R probability variation big hit game is reproduced and output during the consecutive game. The music piece 4 is set to repeatedly reproduce and output only the sound part of “Sabi-Mero”. Playing and outputting music that is played and output in a round game of probability variation big hit game in the probability variation mode in the range resort, and the probability variation game set after the probability variation big hit game in the consecutive resort and the probability variation big hit game ends A series of voice connections can be provided in the state to improve the entertainment of games in the recreational resort.

Next, a specific example of the effect mode of the big hit effect that is executed in the symbol change effect and the probable big hit game in the consecutive resort will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed in the promiscuous gaming state during the consecutive game, and the second special is achieved by winning a game ball at the second starting port 11a. Based on the symbol information, the symbol variation effect of the non-reach loss (normal loss) effect pattern 121 is executed.

  When the variation display of the three effect symbols is started, the reproduction output of “Sabi-Mero” of the music 4 is started. After starting the symbol variation display, the left effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “2”, then the right effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “3”, and the left and right effect symbols are not aligned in the same pattern. Thus, the medium effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “1”, the combination display mode “213” indicating the determination result of non-reach loss is stopped, and the reproduction output of the music 4 is ended.

  After completion of the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 121, the symbol variation effect of the normal reach → SP / SP1 jackpot effect pattern 113 is executed based on the second special symbol information by winning the game ball to the second starting port 11a. The change display of the three effect symbols is started, and the reproduction output of “Sabi-Mero” of the music 4 is started.

  After the symbol variation display starts, the left effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “7”, then the right effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “7”, and the left and right effect symbols are in a reach state where the same symbols are aligned. The left and right effect symbols “7” move toward the screen corners and are reduced and displayed in small symbols to develop into SP / SP1 reach effects and reach effect animations are displayed. When executing the SP / SP1 reach production, the audio data of the music R11 of the SP / SP1 reach production BGM is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1, and the BGM uses the BGM for the probability change mode BGM 4 for the reach production BGM. The music R11 is switched to.

  In the SP / SP1 reach production, a production video in which two characters related to a predetermined motif challenge a mission to search for a treasure is displayed, and music R11 (with a song) is reproduced and output in accordance with this production video.

  Here, the music R11 reproduced and output in the SP / SP1 reach production is composed of six sound parts set in the reproduction order of intro, E melody, F melody, G melody, savimero, and H melody. . If the SP / SP1 reach production is a successful production, the song will be played back so that the melody of the second half of the song R11 of the song R11 is played when the two characters find the treasure and the mission is successful. The playback order of the plurality of audio parts R11 is adjusted. When the SP / SP1 reach production is started, the intro and E melody of the music R11 is omitted, and the reproduction output is started from the F melody (that is, the reproduction is not output as the original music). On the other hand, if the SP / SP11 reach production becomes a failure production in which the two characters do not find the treasure and fail in the mission, the SP / SP1 reach production will start from the intro of the music R11. Playback output is started.

  In the SP / SP1 reach production, when the two characters find a treasure and the mission is successful, the three small symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination display mode “777” indicating the determination result of the 16R probability variation big hit. After that, three effect symbols “777” are displayed in a fixed stop state, and it is notified that the 16R probability variation big hit has been won. When the 16R probability variable big hit game is started, the big hit middle effect pattern Y1 corresponding to the 16R probability variable big hit game is performed.

  In the opening effect corresponding to the opening game in the 16R probability variation big hit game, the big hit notification image (for example, the characters “HYPER BONUS”) suggesting that it is the 16R probability variation big hit, the operation instruction image (for example, “Attacker” Character string) ”and an opening effect SE (for example, hyper bonus sound) are reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b.

  When the opening game is finished and the 16R long open round game is started, the round effect corresponding to the 16R long open round game is displayed with a video for round effect and a suggestion image (for example, “ "HYPER BONUS"), right-handed operation promotion image (right-handed character and right arrow display), round number suggestion image (ROUND1) that suggests the number of rounds being executed, image of the design symbol for the big hit (for example, “7”), an image indicating the name of the music being reproduced and output (for example, “name of music 5”), an image indicating the number of wins (pronounced the number of consecutive games), etc. The round effect BGM is reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b.

  In the 16R probable big hit game, in the round production corresponding to the 16R long open round game, the production video Y1 is displayed as a video for the round production, and this production video Y1 displays the singing action of the female idol character singing music. It is a singing video. Since the round production BGM was won at 16R probable big hit during the Renso, music 5 was newly added, and one of the music 4 and the additional music 5 was selected using the lottery table 1 of FIG. Determined by lottery. When the music 5 is selected and reproduced and output, the music 5 that matches the character's singing operation is reproduced and output.

  When the 16R long open round game is finished and the ending game is started, in the ending effect corresponding to the ending game, the big hit end notification image (for example, the character “end of big hit game”) for notifying the end of the 16R probable big hit game is displayed. , An obtained award ball number notification image (for example, “2400 pt gained !!”) indicating the number of award balls paid out in the 16R long open round game, and a “probability mode continuation!” Probability continuation notification images for displaying character strings are sequentially displayed, and an ending effect SE is reproduced and output. As the ending effect SE, the voice of the “continuation of probability change mode” or the like is reproduced and output.

  Here, when the 16R long open round game is finished, if the melody of the last audio part of the music 5 of the round effect BGM is not reproduced and output, the melody of the music 5 is not interrupted even in the ending effect. Continuous playback and output. However, in the ending effect, in order to draw attention to the probability variation continuation notification image, the sound of the “probability variation mode continuation” dialogue as the ending effect SE is being reproduced and output so that it is emphasized more than the melody of the song 5 The volume of the music piece 5 is changed to a reduced volume that is lower than the volume of the ending effect SE. As the decrease volume, for example, mute (mute) or minimal sound is set. The music 5 of the round effect BGM continues to be played back and output at a volume lower than the volume of the ending effect SE (that is, the playback output of the music 5 is not paused). Intermittent state. In the ending effect, the reproduction output may be continued with the volume of the music for the BGM for round effect being the normal volume.

  When the ending game of the 16R probability variation big hit game is finished, the probability variation gaming state is set, and the probability variation mode is set corresponding to the probability variation gaming state, so that the display screen of the main image display device 16 is an effect image dedicated to the probability variation mode. Switch. When the ending game ends, if the music 5 of the round effect BGM has not been reproduced and output to the melody of the last audio part, the music 5 is continuously reproduced and output, and the volume of the music 5 is reduced. Change the setting from volume to normal volume.

  During the reaming, with the round effect BGM song 5 being reproduced and output, a right-handed game is performed in the probability variation game state for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol, and the second start port 11a is played. Based on the second special symbol information obtained by winning the game ball, the symbol variation effect of the non-reach lose effect pattern 121 is executed.

  After the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 121 is completed, the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 124 of normal reach → SP / SP1 loss is executed based on the second special symbol information by winning the game ball to the second starting port 11a. After the start of the symbol variation display, when the left and right effect symbols are in the reach state, the reach effect animation is displayed by developing into the SP / SP1 reach effect.

  When the SP / SP1 reach production is executed, the audio data of the music R11 of the SP / SP1 reach production BGM is played back even if the melody of the last audio part of the music 5 of the round production BGM is not reproduced and output. 0 and 1 are registered, and the music 5 of the round effect BGM is switched to the music R11 of the reach effect BGM. When the SP / SP1 reach production is started, reproduction output is started from the intro of the music piece R11.

  The SP / SP1 reach effect becomes a failure effect, and after the three small symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination display mode “464” indicating the determination result of reach lose, the three effect symbols “464” are fixedly stopped and displayed. It is notified that it is. After completion of the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 124, the symbol variation effect of the shortened variation non-reach lose effect pattern 126 is executed based on the second special symbol information obtained by winning the game ball to the second start port 11a. The music 4 of the probability variation mode BGM is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1. The change display of the three effect symbols is started, and the reproduction output of “Sabi-Mero” of the music 4 is started.

  In addition, when the replay output of the music 5 of the round effect BGM that has been reproduced and output in the round game of the 16R length release is continued in the probabilistic game state after the end of the 16R probable big hit game in the renja For example, when the pattern variation effect of the non-reach losing effect pattern 121 is being executed, if the music 5 of the round effect BGM is reproduced and output to the melody of the last sound part, the music 4 of the probability change mode BGM 4 Switch to

A specific example of the effect mode of the big hit effect that is executed in the probable big hit game when winning in the short-time gaming state in the consecutive game is won will be described.
As shown in FIG. 22, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed in the promiscuous game state during the consecutive game, and the second special is obtained by winning a game ball at the second starting port 11a. Based on the symbol information, the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 112 of the normal reach → SP1 reach jackpot is executed, the variation display of the three effect symbols is started, and the reproduction output of “Sabi-Mero” of the music 4 is started.

  After the symbol variation display is started, the left effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “6”, then the right effect symbol is temporarily stopped at “6”, and the left and right effect symbols are in the same state. The left and right effect symbols “6” move toward the screen corners and are reduced and displayed in small symbols to develop into the SP1 reach effect and the reach effect animation is displayed. When executing the SP1 reach production, the audio data of the music R1 of the SP1 reach production BGM is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1, and the BGM is changed from the music 4 of the probability variation mode BGM to the music R1 of the reach BGM. Switch.

  In the SP1 reach production, if the leading character attacks the enemy character with a good skill and wins a successful production, the three small symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination display mode “666” indicating the determination result of the 4R normal jackpot. After that, the three effect symbols “666” are confirmed and stopped, and it is notified that the 4R normal big hit is won. When the 4R normal big hit game is started, the big hit middle effect pattern Y4 corresponding to the 4R normal big hit game is performed.

  In the opening effect corresponding to the opening game in the 4R normal big hit game, the big hit notification image (for example, “REGULAR BONUS”) suggesting that it is the 4R normal big hit, the operation instruction image for prompting the right strike (for example, “Attacker” Character string) ”and the opening effect SE (for example, regular bonus sound) are reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b.

  When the opening game ends and the 4R long open round game is started, in the round effect corresponding to the 4R long open round game, a video for round effect is displayed and a suggestion image (for example, “ "REGULAR BONUS"), right-handed operation promotion image (right-handed character and right arrow display), round number suggestion image (ROUND1) suggesting the number of rounds being executed, image of effect design at the time of big hit (for example, “6”), an image indicating the name of the music being reproduced and output (for example, “name of the music 11”), an image indicating the current number of consecutive villas won in the villa, and the like are displayed. The round effect BGM is reproduced and output from 27b.

  In the 4R regular big hit game, in the round production corresponding to the 4R long open round game, the production video Y4 as the video for round production is displayed, and this production video Y4 has entered the professional of the character related to the soccer motif. This is an animated movie depicting the story. Since the round effect BGM is won in the 4R normal jackpot, no new music is added, and the music 11 corresponding to the effect video X2 is uniquely determined and reproduced and output.

  When the 4R long open round game is finished and the ending game is started, in the ending effect corresponding to the ending game, a big hit end notification image (for example, “big hit game end” character) that notifies the end of the 4R normal big hit game Acquired prize ball number notification image (for example, “600 points won!”) Indicating the number of prize balls paid out in the 4R long open round game, “Ran Chang end!” In addition, a game state change notification image of “short time mode entry!” Is displayed and an ending effect SE is reproduced and output. Here, as the ending effect SE, the voice of “End of continuous channel”, the voice of “Time mode entry”, and the like are reproduced and output.

  Here, when the 4R long open round game is finished, even if the melody of the last voice part of the music 11 is not reproduced and output, in order to pay attention to the end-of-life notification image and the game state change notification image, When the 4R long open round game is finished, the reproduction output of the music 11 is finished. Also, in the case of 4R normal big hit, the time reduction mode corresponding to the short time gaming state is set after the end of the 4R normal big hit game, and the mode effect using the BGM dedicated to the short time mode different from the BGM for the probability variation mode is performed. Therefore, when the 4R long open round game is finished, the reproduction output of the music piece 11 is finished.

  When the ending game of the 4R normal jackpot game is completed, the short-time game state is set, and the short-time mode is set corresponding to the short-time game state, so the display screen of the main image display device 16 is switched to the effect image dedicated to the short-time mode. At the same time, the music S is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1 as the BGM for the short time mode. In the short-time gaming state, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed, and the symbol of the effect pattern for the short-time mode based on the second special symbol information by winning the game ball to the second starting port 11a Fluctuation production is executed. When the reach effect is performed in the design variation effect, the music RS is registered in the reproduction channels 0 and 1 as the reach effect BGM. After the short-time gaming state is set, if the big win is not won before the first and second special symbols change display count reaches 100 times, the setting is changed from the short-time gaming state to the normal gaming state.

  Here, in the short-time gaming state, when a winning of 16R probability variation big win is won by winning a game ball to the second starting port 11a, so-called short-time withdrawal is included in the consecutive resort, so a round game of 16R probability variation big hit game is included. When a round effect corresponding to is performed, a new piece of music is added. For example, when a 16R probable big hit game is won and a 16R long open round game in a 16R probable big hit game is performed, if the set and stored music are music 4 and 5, music 6 is newly added, The music of the round effect BGM is determined by lottery using the lottery table 2 of FIG. Even if the 4R probability variable big win is won, the song 4 is reproduced and output when a round effect corresponding to the round game of the 4R probability variable big hit game is executed as a so-called short pullback. .

  On the other hand, after the setting of the short-time gaming state, if the setting change is made from the short-time gaming state to the normal gaming state without winning a big hit until the number of times of display of the special symbol reaches 100 times, Upon completion, all the additional music set / stored in the current state are deleted.

  If the probability variation gaming state is set after the probability variation big hit game ends, and the number of special symbol fluctuations that are not big hits reaches a specific variation number (for example, 120 symbol variation), the probability variation gaming state is a high probability / non-short-time game. When the number of special symbol fluctuations that are set to a state (latent probability gaming state) and do not become a big hit reaches a specific variation number of times (for example, four symbol fluctuations), so-called transition from the latent gaming state to the normal gaming state In the case of an ST (Special Time) machine, when the probability variation gaming state after the probability variation big hit game is shifted to the latent probability gaming state, if the 4R or 16R probability variation big hit is won in the latent probability gaming state, the first hit Therefore, all of the additional songs that are currently set and stored are deleted.

  In this way, in the long open round game in the probable big hit game, when the music with the song of the BGM for round performance is reproduced and output, the uplifting feeling due to the probable big hit of the player is enhanced and the long open round game ends. When the music for the round effect BGM has not been reproduced and output up to the melody of the last audio part, it is also reproduced and output during the long open round game even in the probability variation game state after the end effect and the probability variation big hit game is over. Since the playback output of the music for the round effect BGM that has been played continues without interruption, the player can still listen to the music for the BGM for the round effect even after the transition to the probability change game state. Since the game can be performed while maintaining a sense of exaltation of the player, to improve the interest of the game It can be.

  In addition, when a player is in the consecutive resort, a new song is added each time the 16R probability variation jackpot is won, and the number of songs that can be reproduced and output increases. Therefore, a 16R long open round game with a 16R probability variation jackpot is performed during the consecutive resort. Each time, a music different from the music reproduced and output in the previous 16R long open round game can be heard, so that it is possible to improve the performance by the sound production in the 16R probable big hit game round production in the Renso.

  When a newly added song in a 16R long open round game is played back and output, when the 16R long open round game ends, the melody of the last audio part of the added music has not been played back and output. Since the playback output of the additional music that was played back during the 16R long open round game is continued without interruption, the sense of excitement increased by the 16R probability variable jackpot that has the highest degree of advantage among the multiple jackpot games is maintained. It is possible to play a game in the state of being allowed to.

  Next, in order to achieve the function of each means 40-46, 52-55, 60, 70-74 shown in FIG. 5, the control device 20 (game control board 21, effect control board 23, image / sound control board 24). The main processing executed by the lamp control board 25) will be described with reference to a flowchart. Si (i = 1, 2,...) Indicates a step.

  As shown in FIG. 23, timer interrupt processing executed by the computer of the game control board 21 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt processing, random number update processing (S1), start port SW processing ( S2), gate SW processing (S3), special prize opening SW processing (S4), special symbol processing (S5), normal symbol processing (S6), special prize opening device processing (S7), prize ball processing (S8), output The process (S9) is sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in the start port SW process of S2, the first start port SW10a is on (S11; Yes), the first special symbol reservation number U1 is less than 4 (S12: Yes), the first The special symbol hold number U1 is updated to a value obtained by adding “1” (S13), and the jackpot random number value (judgment value), jackpot symbol random number value (judgment value), reach random number value (judgment value), and fluctuation pattern random number value (determination) (Value) (first special symbol information) is acquired and stored (S14), then a pre-determination process (S15) is executed, and a first special symbol hold number increase command is set (S16).

  When the second start port SW11c is on (S17; Yes), when the second special symbol reservation number U2 is less than 4 (S18; Yes), the second special symbol reservation number U2 is updated to a value obtained by adding “1”. (S19), a jackpot random value (determination value), a jackpot symbol random value (determination value), a reach random number value (determination value), and a variation pattern random value (determination value) (second special symbol information) are acquired and stored ( Next, a pre-determination process (S21) is executed, and a second special symbol reservation number increase command is set (S22).

  In the predetermination process of S15 and S21, basically the same process as the process executed in S37 and S38 in the special symbol process of S5 is performed, and the determination results of the predetermination process of S15 and S21 are performed in S16 and S22. A command for increasing the number of reserved special symbols including information on is set. The commands set in S16 and S22 and the commands set in the processing of other steps are transmitted to the effect control board 23 by the output processing of S6.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the special symbol process of S5, when the big hit game flag is set to OFF (S31; No), that is, when the big hit game is not being executed, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is in a variable display. (S32). When the special symbol is in a variable display (S32; Yes), the process proceeds to S44. On the other hand, when the special symbol is not being variably displayed (S32; No), it is determined whether or not the second special symbol holding number U2 is “1” or more (S33). When the second special symbol reservation number U2 is “1” or more (S33; Yes), the second special symbol reservation number U2 is updated to a value obtained by subtracting “1” (S34). On the other hand, when the second special symbol reservation number U2 is less than “1” (S33; No), it is determined whether or not the first special symbol reservation number U1 is “1” or more (S35).

  When the first special symbol reservation number U1 is “1” or more (S35; Yes), the first special symbol reservation number U1 is updated to a value obtained by subtracting “1” (S36). On the other hand, if the sum of the first special symbol hold number U1 and the second special symbol hold number U2 is not "1" or more, that is, "0" (S35; No), the customer waiting flag is set to ON. It is determined whether or not (S49). Here, the customer waiting flag is a flag indicating whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a customer waiting state, the jackpot gaming flag is not set to ON, and the special symbol information is not held and is special. It is set to ON when the symbol variation display is no longer performed, and is set to OFF when the special symbol variation display is started again.

  If the customer waiting flag is not set to ON (S49; No), a customer waiting command is set (S50), and the customer waiting flag is set to ON (S51). On the other hand, when the customer waiting flag is set to ON (S49; Yes), the process proceeds to the normal symbol process of S6. After the execution of S34 or S36, a big hit determination process (S37) is executed, and subsequently, a variation pattern selection process (S38) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 26, in the big hit determination process, it is determined whether or not the high probability game flag is set to ON (S52). Here, the high probability game flag is a flag indicating whether or not the probability of being a big hit in the big hit determination is a relatively high high probability.

  When the high probability game flag is set to ON (S52; Yes), the high probability table of the jackpot determination table of FIG. 6 is selected (S53), and when the high probability game flag is not set to ON (S53). S52; No), the low probability table of the big hit random number table of FIG. 5 is selected (S54). Following the processing of S53 or S54, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on whether or not the big hit random number value (determination value) of the special symbol information is a big hit specific value (S55).

  In the case of a big hit (S55; Yes), a symbol determination value process for determining the type of the big hit symbol is executed (S56). In the symbol determination value processing, with reference to the symbol determination table of FIG. 7, one of the jackpot symbols X1 to X4 and Y1 to Y4 is selected based on the jackpot symbol determination value that matches the jackpot symbol random number value of the special symbol information. (S57). On the other hand, in the case of a loss (S55; No), a loss symbol is set (S58).

  In the variation pattern selection process of S38 shown in FIG. 25, the type of jackpot symbol or the lost symbol set in the jackpot determination process of S37, the jackpot determination value used for determining whether or not the jackpot is determined, and the reach determination value of the pair Based on the symbol variation pattern determination value, the number of first and second special symbols held, and the current gaming state, one of a plurality of variation times as a variation pattern is selected and determined by referring to any variation pattern determination table. Is done. When the gaming state is set to the low probability gaming state and the non-time saving gaming state (normal gaming state), the variation pattern is selected with reference to the variation pattern determination table for the normal gaming state of FIG.

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is set to the high probability gaming state and the short time gaming state (probability variation gaming state), the variation pattern is selected with reference to the variation pattern determination table for the probability variation gaming state in FIG. When the state and the short-time gaming state (time-short gaming state) are set, the variation pattern is selected with reference to a variation pattern determination table (not shown) for the short-time gaming state.

  Subsequent to the process of S38, a special figure variation start command including information on the determination symbol set in S37 and the variation pattern determined in S38 is set (S39). Next, based on the information on the fluctuation pattern included in the special figure fluctuation start command set in S39, the special symbol fluctuation display is started (S40). At that time, when the processes of S37 to S39 related to the first special symbol information are performed, the first special symbol display 19a starts the variable display of the first special symbol, and the processes of S37 to S39 related to the second special symbol information are started. When the process is performed, the second special symbol display 19b starts to display the variation of the second special symbol.

  Following the process of S40, when the customer waiting flag is set to ON (S41; Yes), the customer waiting flag is set to OFF (S42). After execution of the process of S42, or when the customer waiting flag is not set to ON (S41; No), measurement of the variation time, which is the elapsed time since the start of the special symbol variation display in S40, is started. (S43). After the execution of S43, or when the special symbol is in a variable display (S32; Yes), whether or not the change time corresponding to the change pattern selected by the process of S38 has elapsed since the start of the change time measurement in S43 Is determined (S44).

  When the variation time has elapsed (S44; Yes), the big special / losing judgment symbol indicating the judgment result of the first or second special symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol indicator 19a or the second special symbol indicator 19b. A special figure fluctuation stop command to notify this is set (S45), and the special symbol fluctuation display started in S40 is terminated (S46). Specifically, the determination symbol set in S37 is stopped and displayed on the first or second special symbol indicator 19a or 19b. The stop display of the determination symbol is continued until at least a predetermined symbol determination time (for example, 1 s) has elapsed. Subsequent to the process of S46, the variation time at which the measurement was started in S43 is reset (S47), and the stopped process (S48) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 27, in the stop process of S48, it is determined whether or not the time-saving game flag is set to ON (S61). When the time-short game flag is set to ON (S61; Yes), the time-short game continuation number J (time-short game remaining number of times) is updated to a value obtained by subtracting “1” (S62). The short game continuation number J indicates the remaining number of times that the auxiliary game is executed in the short time game state, and in this embodiment, the countdown starts from “10000” times or “100” times depending on the type of the big hit. Be started.

  Following the processing of S62, if it is determined that the time-saving game continuation count J is “0” (S63; Yes), the time-saving gaming flag is set to OFF (S64). After the execution of the process of S64, or when the time-saving game continuation count J is not “0” (S63; No), it is determined whether or not the high-probability game flag is set to ON (S65).

  When the high probability game flag is set to ON (S65; Yes), the high probability game continuation number X (high probability game remaining number) is updated to a value obtained by subtracting “1” (S66). The high-probability game continuation number X indicates the remaining number of times that the big hit determination process is executed in the high-probability gaming state, and in this embodiment, the countdown starts from “10000” times. Following the processing of S66, when it is determined that the high-probability game continuation number X is “0” (S67; Yes), the high-probability game flag is set to OFF (S68). As a result, the gaming state is set and changed to the low probability gaming state. After execution of the process of S68, or when the high-probability game continuation number X is not “0” (S67; No), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S69).

  When it is a big hit (S69; Yes), the big hit game flag is set to ON (S70), the time-short game continuation number J and the high-precision game continuation number X are reset to “0” (S71), the short-time game flag and the high The certain game flag is set to OFF (S72). Following the processing of S72, an opening command for notifying that the big hit game is started is set (S73).

  As shown in FIG. 28, in the big prize opening device process of S7, it is first determined whether or not the big hit game flag is ON (S81). When the big hit flag is ON (S81; Yes), when it is an opening game (S82; Yes), it is determined whether or not the opening time has passed (S83). When the opening time has elapsed (S83; Yes), the opening pattern setting process for the special winning opening 13a is executed (S84).

  In the opening pattern setting process of S84, as described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the opening pattern of the big winning opening 13a is set according to the types of jackpot symbols X1 to X4 and Y1 to Y4, and the set large size is set. The maximum round Rc (4R, 16R), the specified number Yc (10), and the specified opening time (29.5 seconds, 0.1 seconds) are set in accordance with the opening pattern of the winning opening 13a.

  Subsequent to the processing of S84, the round number R is updated to a value obtained by adding “1” (S85), the opening control of the big winning opening SOL13d is started (S86), and the big winning opening 13a is opened. Subsequently, measurement of the opening time of the big winning opening 13a that has started to open is started (S87), and after the round start command is set (S88), the process proceeds to S92.

  On the other hand, when the opening game is not being played (S82: No), it is determined whether or not the ending game is being played (S89). If it is during the ending game (S89; Yes), the process proceeds to S100. On the other hand, when it is not in the ending game (S89; No), it is determined whether or not it is in the round interval (S90).

  When it is during the round interval period (S90; Yes), it is determined whether or not the interval period (about 2.0 seconds) has elapsed (S91). When the round interval period has elapsed (S91; Yes), the process proceeds to S85. On the other hand, when it is not during the round interval (S90; No), it is determined whether or not the specified opening time has elapsed since the opening of the special winning opening 13a (S92).

  If the specified opening time has not elapsed (S92; No), it is determined whether the specified number of winnings has been reached (S93). When the specified number of winnings has been reached (S93; Yes), or when the specified opening time has elapsed (S92; Yes), the opening control is terminated (S94). As a result, the special winning opening 13a is closed.

  After execution of the process of S94, it is determined whether or not the round number R has reached the maximum round number Rc (S95). If it is not the maximum number of rounds Rc (S95; No), in order to control the start timing of the next round, the measurement of the interval time after the end of the release control is started (S96). On the other hand, when it is the maximum number of rounds Rc (S95; Yes), the measurement of the ending time is started (S97).

  Following the processing of S97, the round number R is reset to “0” (S98), and an ending command is set (S99). When the ending time has elapsed (S100; Yes), the game state setting process (S101) is executed, and the jackpot game flag is set to OFF (S102).

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the gaming state setting process of S101, it is first determined whether or not the probability change or the odd big hit (S111). If it is not a probable change or a sudden big hit (that is, a normal big hit) (S111; No), the process proceeds to S114. On the other hand, in the case of a probable change or a big hit (S111; Yes), the high probability game flag is set to ON (S112), and the high probability game continuation number X is set to "10000" times (S113).

  After execution of the process of S113 or after execution of the process of S111, the short-time game flag is set to ON (S114), and in the case of a probability change or a sudden big hit, the short-time game continuation number J is set to “10000” times. In the case of a normal big hit, the short-time game continuation number J is set to “100” (S115). After executing the process of S115, a game state command is set (S116).

  As shown in FIG. 30, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the effect control board 23 is started every minute time (4 ms). In this timer interrupt process, a control command is received from the game control board 21, A command reception process (S201) capable of executing a process based on the control command, a button SW process (S202), a command transmission process (S203) capable of transmitting a control command to the image / sound control board 24 and the lamp control board 25. It is executed sequentially.

  As shown in FIG. 31, in the command reception process of S201, a customer waiting process is first executed (S210). In the customer waiting process, it is determined whether or not the customer is waiting based on whether or not a special figure change start command is received from the game control board 21. If the customer is waiting, a customer waiting effect start command is set. Is done. Following the processing of S210, it is determined whether a pending number increase command has been received (S211). When the hold number increase command is received (S211; Yes), the hold number addition process is executed (S212), and the hold number addition process command is set (S213).

  After execution of the process of S213, or when the pending number increase command is not received (S211; No), when the special figure change start command is received (S214; Yes), effect mode setting process (S215), symbol change The effect selection process (S216) is sequentially executed. In the effect mode setting process of S215, the gaming state command included in the received special figure variation start command is analyzed, and when the probability variation gaming state is set, the probability variation mode is set, and the short-time gaming state is set. In the case of the event, the time reduction mode is set and the production mode command is set.

  In the symbol variation effect selection process of S216, the effect pattern determination table of the effect mode corresponding to the currently set gaming state is set and corresponds to the variation pattern of the special symbol selected in the variation pattern selection process of S38 of FIG. The effect pattern to be determined is uniquely determined. A symbol variation effect start command including information on the determined effect pattern is set.

  After execution of the process of S216, or when a special figure change start command is not received (S214; No), it is determined whether a special figure change stop command is received (S217). When the special figure variation stop command is received (S217; Yes), the process during the completion of the symbol variation effect is executed (S218).

  In the process of ending the symbol variation effect in S218, the received special symbol variation stop command is analyzed, and if the determination result in the jackpot determination process that triggered the current symbol variation effect is determined to be a big hit, Depending on the type (probability big hit, sudden big hit, or normal big hit), the number of fluctuations of the special symbol (either 10,000 or 100) is set. On the other hand, when it is determined that the determination result in the big hit determination process is lost, the set production mode is referred to, and when either the probability variation mode or the time reduction mode is set, the special symbol changes When the number of times is “1”, that is, when the loss variation pattern ends as the final variation pattern, the normal mode is set and the symbol variation effect end command is set.

  After the execution of the process of S218, or when the special figure fluctuation stop command has not been received (S217; No), it is determined whether or not an opening command has been received (S219). When the opening command is received (S219; Yes), a big hit effect selection process is executed (S220). In this jackpot effect selection process, the jackpot effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 14 is set, and based on the analyzed opening command, the jackpot symbols and jackpots that are stopped and displayed from among the plurality of jackpot effects patterns. 1 big hit during medium pattern corresponding to the type (16R positive variation big hit, 4R positive variation big hit, 4R sudden hit big hit, 4R normal big hit) is determined uniquely, and the big hit medium production pattern command is set.

  After the execution of the process of S220 or when the opening command has not been received (S219; No), it is determined whether or not an ending command has been received (S221). When an ending command is received (S221; Yes), an ending effect selection process is executed (S222).

  As shown in FIG. 32, image output / sound reproduction output processing executed by the computer of the image / sound control board 24 is started every minute time (4 ms), and commands for receiving various control commands from the effect control board 23 Reception processing (S301), image output processing (S302), playback music selection processing (S303), audio data registration processing (S304), audio output processing (S305), music switching processing (306) based on the received control command Are executed sequentially. By performing the image output / audio reproduction process, the effect image (moving image) is displayed on the main image display device 16 and the sub image display device 18, and the music is reproduced and output from the speakers 27a and 27b.

  In the playback music selection process of S303, when the big hit effect pattern command received from the effect control board 23 is received, the received effect pattern command is analyzed, and if it is in the villa and 16R probability variable big hit, After the setting / storing process for adding a song to the song is performed, one song is selected from a plurality of BGM songs for the round effect based on the song selection ratio set in the lottery table described with reference to FIG. The

  In the music switching process of S306, the music corresponding to the 4R-probable big hit described in FIGS. 19 and 20 and the music corresponding to the 16R-probable big hit (song 4) for the music of the big hit effect in the reproduced music selection process of S303. 5, 6...) Is selected and playback is output continuously even in the probability variation mode, when the melody playback output of the last audio part of those songs is completed, or reach effect is executed In this case, the reproduction output of the round effect BGM is terminated, and the music is switched to the music 4 of the probability change mode BGM or the music of the reach effect BGM.

A modification mode in which the first embodiment is partially modified will be described.
[1] When the 16R probable big win is won, and the 3D design symbols are displayed in a fixed stop with a symbol alignment that suggests the 16R probable big hit of “777”, the 16R long open round game Before the start, the player can recognize from the big hit symbol with the same symbol that the number of rounds of the long open round game is 16R and that the game will shift to the probability change game state after the probability change big hit game ends. Therefore, it is not necessary to emphasize that “the probability variation mode continues” in the ending effect.

  So, when the 16R long open round game with the big hit design with the same pattern is finished, if the music of the round effect BGM is not reproduced and output to the melody of the last audio part, the ending effect and the music of the round effect BGM are also displayed. The playback output may be continued at the normal volume without lowering the volume (that is, the volume of the music for the round effect BGM is not changed to a lower volume lower than the volume of the ending effect SE). . In this case, it is possible to shorten the “continuation of probability change mode” display time in the ending effect, and to shorten the execution time of the ending effect.

[2] As shown in FIG. 33, in the retreat, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed in the probable game state, and a game ball is awarded to the second starting port 11a. Even if the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 113 of the normal reach → SP / SP1 reach jackpot is executed based on the second special symbol information and the jackpot symbol Y5 of the 16R probability variation jackpot is internally determined, the main image On the display screen of the display device 16, the combination display mode “222” indicating the determination result of the 4R probability variation jackpot is confirmed and stopped. At this point, the player has the image that the big hit this time is a 4R probable big hit.

  Here, the jackpot symbol Y5 is a determination symbol indicating the determination result of the 16R probability variation jackpot, similarly to the jackpot symbol Y1 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, but in the 16R long open round game with the jackpot symbol Y1 of the 16R probability variation jackpot. In the 16R long open round game, the round interval time from the end of each round to the start of the next round (the big prize opening 13a is closed) is set to about 2.0 seconds. On the other hand, in the 16R long open round game with the big hit symbol Y5 of the 16R probability variable big hit, the round interval period after the end of the specific R-th round game in the 16R long open round game is longer than about 2.0 seconds. The round interval period after the end of the round game other than the specific R-th round game is set to about 2.0 seconds.

  When the 16R probability variation big hit game is started, the big hit during the big hit effect pattern YA including the execution of the promotion effect during the round game is performed. In the 16R probable big hit game, when the opening game is finished and the 16R long open round game is started, in the round opening corresponding to the 16R long open round game, in the 1R to 4R long open round games, the video for round effect As the 4R probable big hit game, the effect video that is the same as or similar to the effect video Y2 displayed in the 4R long open round game is displayed, and the music 4 corresponding to the 4R probable big hit game is played as the round effect BGM. Is output. Internally, since the 16R probability variation jackpot was won during the Renso, music 5 is newly added and set and stored. Therefore, the player continues to have the image of being a 4R probable big hit even in 1R-4R long open round games.

  In the round interval period after the end of the 4R long open round game, the promotion effect during the round game informing that the player is promoted to the 16R probability variable big hit is started. When a promotion performance during a round game is performed, the round interval period is a time during which the promotion effect during the round game can be executed, and the time set when the promotion effect during the round game is not performed (about 2.0 seconds) Also set to a long time.

  As shown in FIG. 34, (1) when the 4R long-open round game is completed and the game enters the round interval period, (2) a dark image whose screen is darkened is displayed, and in the case of 4R probability variation big hit (3) The number of winning prize balls “600 pt” indicating the number of prize balls paid out in response to the winning of game balls at the grand prize opening 13a during this 4R long open round game is displayed. 4) Notification that the round game has ended.

  On the other hand, in the case of 16R probability variation big hit, after (2) the dark image is displayed, (5) promotion effect during round game is executed. In this promotion effect during the round game, the movable combination 17a appears on the front side of the screen, and a predetermined round sound (for example, a cure quinn) is reproduced and output, and the maximum round jackpot finalization effect in which the firing handle 7 emits light is executed. When the round interval period ends, (6) the 5R round game is started and the 5R round effect is executed. It is possible to perform dramatic and effective performances that turn the player who had the image of 4R probability big hit into joy.

  When the 5R round game is started, an effect video that is the same as or similar to the effect video Y1 displayed at the time of the 16R long open round game is displayed as a round effect video, and a new round effect BGM is displayed. The music piece 5 added and set and stored is reproduced and output. When the 16R long open round game is over and the melody of the last voice part of the music 5 has not been reproduced and output, the 16R long open also occurs in the ending effect and the probable game state after the probable big hit game ends. The melody of the music piece 5 that was reproduced and output during the round game is continuously reproduced and output without interruption.

  In the ending effect, the game state change notification image of “Probability mode entry!” Is displayed and the ending effect SE (speech of “Probability change mode entry” line, etc.) is reproduced and output, but the ending game starts. Since the player recognizes that the probabilistic gaming state will be set after the probable big hit game ends by the promotion effect during the round game before, there is no need to emphasize entering the probable mode, so the round production The volume of the BGM music is output at a normal volume without lowering the volume (that is, the volume is not changed to a lower volume).

[3] As shown in FIG. 35, a new piece of music may be added every time the number of wins per 4R or 16R probability variation (number of consecutive resorts) increases during consecutive resorts. In this case, also in the long open round game in the 4R probability variation big hit game, when an additional music is selected by lottery, the selected additional music is reproduced and output. Furthermore, when the number of consecutive resorts reaches a predetermined number (for example, 20 times), no new music is added. In this case, when the round production corresponding to the long-opening round game of the probability variation big hit game of the predetermined number of times is performed, the special performance video to be displayed only when the predetermined number of times is reached is unambiguous as the round production video. In addition, the special music dedicated to the special effect moving image is uniquely determined as the BGM for the round effect.

[4] During a recreational game, a new song may be added even when a 4R probability change jackpot is won in the probability change game state, and an additional song may be reproduced and output in the 4R long open round game of the 4R probability change jackpot game. . It is possible to prevent the same music from being played and output every time the 4R probability variation jackpot is won in the reaming villa, and the sound production performed in the 4R probability variation jackpot game will not be monotonous, and the player will not get bored. Can be.

  In the second embodiment, a new song is added each time the 16R probability variation is won in the probability variation gaming state in the consecutive game (additional music 5, additional music 6...), And the number of selectable songs ( The number of types of music) is configured to increase, and the player can arbitrarily select one music from among a plurality of set / stored music by operating the operation means. ing. Detailed description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 36, during the consecutive game, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed in the probability variation gaming state, and the second special by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 11a. Based on the symbol information, the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 113 of the normal reach → SP / SP1 reach jackpot is executed, the combination display mode “777” indicating the determination result of the 16R probability variable jackpot is confirmed and stopped, and the 16R probability variable jackpot game is displayed. Is done.

  As for the BGM for round effect, the 16R probability variation big win is won during the rendezvous and music 4 and 5 are currently set and stored, so the music 6 is newly added. When the 16R long open round game is started, reproduction output of the newly added music 6 is started. In the second embodiment, every time a 16R probable big hit game of 16R long open round game is started, reproduction output is always started from the newly added additional music.

  As shown in FIG. 37, in the round effect, the display screen of the main image display device 16 has a round effect moving image 100, a suggestion image 101 (for example, “HYPER BONUS” character) suggesting a big hit type, and a right-handed operation. Promotion image 102 (right-handed character and right arrow display), round number suggestion image 103 (ROUND1) suggesting the number of rounds being executed, effect image 105 (for example, “7”) at the time of big hit, A music selection screen 104 is displayed so as to be selectable.

  The music selection screen 104 is provided with an upper cursor display section 104a indicating the upper cursor of the cross key button SW6, a lower cursor display section 104b indicating the lower cursor, and a music display section 104c for displaying the name of the music being played back. The player can arbitrarily select a song by operating one of the cursors above and below the cross key button SW6b to change the name of the song displayed on the song display unit 104c. When the button SW6c is operated, the selected music is switched from the music being reproduced and outputted.

  Specifically, when the 16R long open round game is started and the newly added song 6 is displayed and reproduced on the song display unit 104c of the song selection screen 104, the bottom of the cross key button SW6b is displayed. When the cursor is operated, the name of the music displayed on the music display unit 104c is changed from the music 6 to the music 5, the music 5 is changed to the music 4 when the operation is further performed, and the music 4 is changed from the music 4 to the music 6 when the operation is further performed. On the other hand, when the upper cursor of the cross key button SW6b is operated, the name of the music displayed on the music display unit 104c is changed from the music 6 to the music 4, and when further operated, the music 4 is changed from the music 4 to the music 5. When the operation is performed, the music 5 is changed to the music 6 and any of the music 4 to 6 can be arbitrarily selected. Next, the music selected by operating the enter button SW6b. It is played out.

  As shown in FIG. 36, a 16R long open round game is started, playback output is started from the intro of the newly added music 6, and the player moves the cursor under the cross key button SW6b while the music 6 is being played back. By operating, the name of the music displayed on the music display unit 104c is changed from the music 6 to the music 5, and then when the enter button SW6c is operated, reproduction output starts from the intro of the selected music 5 Is done. That is, the round effect BGM is switched from the music 6 to the music 5.

  When the 16R long open round game is finished, if the melody of the last audio part of the music 5 of the round effect BGM has not been reproduced and output, the volume is lowered lower than the volume of the ending effect SE in the ending effect. The music 5 continues to be reproduced and output in a state where the volume is set to be lowered.

  When the ending game of the 16R probability variation big hit game is finished, the probability variation gaming state is set, and the probability variation mode is set corresponding to the probability variation gaming state, so that the effect image dedicated to the probability variation mode is switched to the effect image for the probability variation mode. When the selection screen 104 is displayed and the ending effect is finished, if the melody of the last audio part of the music 5 of the round effect BGM is not reproduced and output, the volume is set to be lowered during the ending effect. The music 5 reproduced and output in the state is changed to the normal volume and the reproduction output is continued.

  In the reaming game, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed in the probability variation gaming state, and the game ball to the second starting port 11a is non-reach lost based on the second special symbol information by winning. The design variation effect of the effect pattern 121 is executed. When the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 121 is being executed, the player operates the upper cursor of the cross key button SW6b while the music selection screen is displayed and the music 5 is being reproduced and output, thereby displaying the music display unit. When the name of the music displayed in 104c is changed from music 5 to music 6 and then the enter button SW6c is operated, the music 5 is switched to music 6 and playback output is output from the intro of the selected music 6. Be started. In the second embodiment, the music of the round effect BGM can be selected and reproduced by operating the operating means in the probability variation gaming state.

  In this way, when the long open round game in the probability variation big hit game is finished, if the music of the round effect BGM is not reproduced and output to the melody of the last audio part, after the end effect and the probability variation big hit game is over Even in the probabilistic gaming state, since the playback output of the music for the BGM for round production that had been reproduced and output in the long open round game is continued without interruption, the player can make the round production even after the transition to the probable gaming state. Since the music of the BGM can be heard, the game can be performed while maintaining the exhilaration feeling increased by the probable big hit, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, when the player is in Renren, a new song is added each time the 16R probable big hit is won, so the selected song and the song that the player wants to hear are reproduced and output from a plurality of songs. When the music selected at the end of the open round game has not been reproduced and output to the melody of the last audio part, the player may listen to the music of the round effect BGM even after the transition to the ending effect and the probable game state. Therefore, it is possible to play a game while maintaining the heightened feeling of the player, which is increased by reproducing and outputting the 16R probability variation big hit having the highest degree of advantage among a plurality of big hit games and the music selected by the player himself / herself. it can.

A modification example in which the second embodiment is partially changed will be described.
[1] During consecutive games, every time the number of wins per 4R or 16R probability variation (number of consecutive games) increases, a new music may be added to increase the number of music that can be selected by the player. In this case, the additional music is reproduced and output in the long open round game in the 4R probability variable big hit game and the 16R probability variable big hit game. Furthermore, when the number of consecutive resorts reaches a predetermined number (for example, 20 times), no new music is added. In this case, when a round effect corresponding to the predetermined number of probable big hit games long open round game is performed, the special effect video is uniquely determined as the round effect video, and the round effect BGM is determined. The special music dedicated to the special performance video is uniquely determined.

  In the gaming machine of the third embodiment, when a big win is won, a predetermined winning opening (V winning opening) is opened during the execution of a round game of the big hit game according to the big winning symbol, and the game ball is placed in the V winning opening. When winning, the V-ST machine is configured to shift to a probable game state after the jackpot game is over. In such a gaming machine, depending on the type of jackpot symbol, in the case of a specific R round game among a plurality of R round games of jackpot game, when the V winning opening is long open or short open, The game ball is configured so that it is easy to win a V winning opening, and it is difficult for the game ball to win a V winning opening when it is opened short.

  In such a gaming machine, when a game ball wins a V winning opening in a specific round game, the game proceeds to a probable game state after the jackpot game ends, and the special symbol variation count that does not result in a big hit is a specific variation count (for example, If the game ball does not win the V winning opening, the game shifts to the short-time game state after the end of the big hit game, and shifts to the short-time game state. When the number of special symbol fluctuations that do not become a big hit in the state reaches a specific fluctuation number (for example, 100 symbol fluctuations), the state shifts to the normal gaming state.

  As shown in FIG. 38, during the consecutive game, a right-handed game for the purpose of displaying the variation of the second special symbol is performed in the probable gaming state, and a second special is obtained by winning a game ball at the second starting port 11a. Based on the symbol information, the symbol variation effect of the effect pattern 113 of the normal reach → SP / SP1 reach jackpot is executed, the combination display mode “777” indicating the determination result of the 16R probability variable jackpot is confirmed and stopped, and the 16R probability variable jackpot game is displayed. Is done.

  As for the BGM for round production, since the 16R probability variation big win was won during the Renso and the music 4 and 5 are currently set and stored, the music 6 is newly added and the lottery table 2 of FIG. 19 is used. When the music piece 6 is determined from the music pieces 4 to 6 by lottery, the music piece 6 is reproduced and output in the 16R long open round game.

  In the 16R probable big hit game of 16R long open game, in the 1R-4th round and 6R-15R round games, the regular round game in which the big prize opening 13a is long open is performed, and in the 5R round game A specific round game in which the V winning opening is long open is performed. In the 5R specific round game, when the V winning opening is opened long and the game ball wins the V winning opening, a V winning notification effect is executed for notifying that the game will change to the probable gaming state at the end of the big hit game. In this V winning notification effect, a V winning sound (for example, cu-in, cu-in) for notifying that the game ball has won the V winning opening is reproduced and output for a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds), and the game is played. An image of “V” notifying that the ball has won the V winning opening is displayed.

  During the execution of the V winning notification effect, the volume of the music 6 of the round effect BGM is set to a lower volume lower than the volume of the V winning sound in order to make the player pay attention to the V winning. The That is, during the execution of the V winning notification effect, the reproduction output of the music 6 of the round effect BGM is continued without being interrupted in a state where the volume is set lower than the volume of the V winning sound. Note that the volume of the round effect BGM may be the same as that of the V winning sound.

  Thereafter, when the normal round game of the 16th R is finished and the melody of the last voice part of the music 6 has not been reproduced and output, the round game is also performed in the ending effect and the probability change game state after the probability change big hit game ends. In this case, the melody of the music piece 5 that has been reproduced and output is continuously reproduced and output without interruption. In the ending effect, a game state change notification image of “probability change mode entry !!” is displayed and the ending effect BGM is reproduced and output, but the V winning notification effect executed at the time of the 5R specific round game is displayed. Thus, since the player has already recognized that the game changes to the probability variation game state after the probability variation big hit game is finished, the reproduction output is continued at the normal volume without lowering the volume of the music 6 of the round effect BGM.

  Here, in the case of a specific round game, when a round game ends without a game ball winning a V prize opening, when the round game ends, the music for the round effect BGM is the melody of the last voice part. The reproduction output of the music is ended even if it has not been reproduced and output. After the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to the short-time game state, and in the short-time game state, when the winning ball is won by 16R probability change by winning the game ball to the second starting port 11a, the so-called short-time pullback is included in the consecutive resort. Therefore, when a round effect corresponding to the 16R long open round game of 16R probability variation big hit game is executed, a new piece of music is added.

  On the other hand, after the setting of the short-time gaming state, if the setting change from the short-time gaming state to the normal gaming state is made without winning a big hit until the first and second special symbols change display count reaches 100 times , And the additional music currently set / stored is deleted.

  In this way, when the round game is finished and the BGM for round production is not reproduced and output to the melody of the last audio part, even in the probability variation game state after the end of the ending production and the probability variation big hit game. Since the reproduction output of the music for the BGM for round effect that was reproduced and output during the round game is continued without interruption, the player can listen to the music for the BGM for round effect even after shifting to the probable gaming state. Therefore, the game can be performed in a state in which the sense of exhilaration increased by the probable big hit due to the V prize is maintained, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

A modification example in which the third embodiment is partially changed will be described.
[1] In the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, one song is selected from a plurality of songs set and stored by the operation of the player's operation means in the long open round game and the probability variation game state. You may make it selectable.

  In the game machine of the fourth embodiment, the round effect that was reproduced and output at the time of the round game when the round game of the probability variable big hit game was finished in the probability variation big hit game state after the end of the probability variable big hit game in the consecutive resort. When the BGM music for the BGM is not played back and output to the melody of the last audio part, the round that was played back at the time of the round game, even in the ending effect and the probability variation game state after the probability variation big hit game ends Reproduction output of the music for the production BGM is continued, and the stage production in the probability variation mode is configured to start from a stage production having a production mode (production image) different from the stage production started in the previous probability variation mode. Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 39, in the probability variation mode, a plurality of stage effects (stages A to C (first effect mode, second effect mode, third effect mode)) having different effect modes are prepared, and for each stage effect. The background image displayed on the main image display device 16 is different. In the probability variation mode, a background image is displayed with the sun as the stage A, the sea floor as the stage B, and the moon as the stage C. In addition, while changing a background image for every stage effect, you may also change the character image which appears when the effect design is variably displayed. Further, the display mode of the effect design may be a display mode dedicated to the probability change effect mode (for example, the design is displayed in gold).

  In the probability variation mode, the stage effect is switched when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, every time a predetermined symbol variation number (for example, 20 times) is reached) according to a preset scenario in which the stage effect is switched in a certain order. Change. As shown in FIGS. 40 (1) to (4), scenario determination tables (table 1 to table 4) are provided to determine a scenario, and the scenario determination table is classified into tables 1 to 4. The effect control means 70 determines a scenario using a table storing a plurality of scenarios that do not include a switching order scenario in which the stage effect started in the previous probability change mode is the start stage.

  Table 1 shown in FIG. 40 (1) is used when the probability variation big hit that is the first hit in the normal gaming state is won and the probability variation gaming state after the probability variation big hit game is over. On the other hand, the tables 2 to 4 in FIGS. 40 (2) to 40 (4) are used when the probability variation big win is won during the consecutive game and the probability variation gaming state after the probability variation big hit game is over.

  In the scenario determination table, each of the tables 1 to 4 includes a plurality of scenarios having different stage effect switching orders and numerical values (determination values) to be compared with the scenario determination random values (0 to 119). The scenario is determined based on the random number value assigned to each of these and acquired when the probability variation gaming state is set. In each table 1 to 4, the determination ratio of each of the plurality of scenarios is set to the same ratio. In each table 1 to 4, the determination ratio of each of the plurality of scenarios may be different. For example, in table 1, the scenario 3 to 6 is set to be determined at a higher ratio than the scenarios 1 and 2. May be.

  Scenarios 1 and 2 are scenarios of a stage switching order in which the start stage starts from stage A. Scenario 1 is configured to repeat the order of switching from stage A to stage B to stage C, and scenario 2 is configured to repeat the order of switching from stage A to stage C to stage B, which is different from scenario 1. Yes.

  Scenarios 3 and 4 are scenarios of a stage switching order in which the start stage starts from stage B. Scenario 3 is configured to repeat the switching order of stage B ⇒ stage A ⇒ stage C, and scenario 4 is configured to repeat the switching order of stage B ⇒ stage C ⇒ stage A, which is different from scenario 3. Yes. Scenarios 5 and 6 are scenarios of a stage switching order in which the start stage starts from stage C. Scenario 5 is configured to repeat the switching order of stage C → stage A → stage B, and scenario 6 is configured to repeat the switching order of stage C → stage B → stage A, which is different from scenario 5. Yes.

  In the probability variation mode, when a predetermined switching condition is satisfied (for example, every time the number of symbol fluctuations reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 20 times)), the stage effect being executed is changed according to the stage switching order of the determined scenario. Switch to stage production. In addition, as a predetermined switching condition, the stage effect may be switched from the next symbol variation when the reach variation symbol variation effect is executed, or the player operates the effect button SW6a or the cross key button SW6b. It is also possible to switch stage effects.

  As shown in FIG. 41, when the probability variation gaming state is set after the end of the 4R probability variation big hit game and the scenario of the stage effect switching order to be executed in the probability variation mode is determined during the consecutive game, the start of the previous probability variation mode is started. Since the stage is stage A, one scenario is determined from scenarios 3 to 6 in Table 2 except for scenarios 1 and 2 where stage A is the start stage. When scenario 3 with stage B as the starting stage is decided, every time the number of changes in the second special symbol reaches 20 after starting from stage B, stage A ⇒ stage C ⇒ stage B ⇒ stage A・ ・ Stage production switches according to the switching order. As for the music, when the reproduction output of the music 4 of the round effect BGM that has been reproduced and output in the 4R long open round game is continued and the reach effect is executed, when the music 4 is reproduced and output, it is used for the reach effect. Switch to BGM music R11.

  During the retreat, at stage A, a 16R probability variable big hit is won and a 16R probability variable big hit game is played. As for the BGM for round production, 16R probability change big win was won during the Renso, and since music 4 and 5 are currently set and stored, music 6 is newly added, and lottery is performed using the lottery table 2 of FIG. When the music piece 6 is determined from the music pieces 4 to 6, the music piece 6 is reproduced and output in the 16R long open round game.

  When the 16R long open round game is finished, if the melody of the last audio part of the music 6 of the round effect BGM is not reproduced and output, the melody of the music 6 is continuously reproduced without interruption even in the ending effect. Is done. However, in the ending effect, the volume of the music piece 6 being reproduced and output is set to a lower volume than the sound volume of the ending effect SE in order to pay attention to the probability variation continuation notification image.

  When the 16R probability variation big hit game ends and the probability variation game state is set, and the scenario of the switching order of stage effects executed in the probability variation mode is determined, the start stage of the previous probability variation mode was stage B, so stage B is started. A scenario is determined from scenarios 1, 2, 5, and 6 in Table 3 excluding scenario 3 and scenario 4 as stages. When scenario 6 with stage C as the starting stage is decided, every time the number of second special symbol fluctuations reaches 20 after stage C is started, stage B⇒stage A⇒stage C⇒stage B ...・ Stage effects change according to the switching order. As for the music, the reproduction output of the music 6 of the round effect BGM that has been reproduced and output in the 16R long open round game is continued.

  As described above, during the recreational game, the stage production switching order scenario executed in the probability variation mode in the probability variation game state is a scenario other than the scenario in which the stage effect started in the previous probability variation mode is the start stage. In order to determine one scenario from multiple scenarios, every time the probability variation gaming state is set in the consecutive resort, the start stage of the probability variation mode does not start from the same stage production every time, and the probability variation mode in the consecutive resort Since it is possible to see various stage effects, an effective effect can be performed in the probability variation gaming state.

  In addition, when the long open round game is ended in the ream, if the music for the round effect BGM has not been reproduced and output to the melody of the last audio part, the ending effect and the probable big hit game end Even in the later probabilistic gaming state, the playback output of the music for the round effect BGM that was played back in the long open round game is continued without interruption. Therefore, even after the transition to the probable gaming state, the player Since the BGM for the production can be heard, the game can be performed while maintaining the exhilaration feeling increased by the probable big hit, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

A modification example in which the fourth embodiment is partially changed will be described.
[1] In the fourth embodiment, as in the second embodiment, one music piece is selected from a plurality of music pieces set and stored by the operation of the player's operation means in the long open round game and the probability variation game state. You may make it selectable.

[2] In determining the scenario of the switching order of stage effects to be executed in the probability change mode, it was executed when it was determined that the big hit determination means 43a would perform a big hit game in the previous probability change gaming state One scenario may be determined from a plurality of scenarios excluding the scenario of the switching order with the stage effect as the start stage.

  For example, if a winning game is won at stage A in the consecutive resort, scenario 1 with stage A as the starting stage is used in table 2 of FIG. The scenario may be determined from scenarios 3 to 6 excluding scenario 2.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, the lighting effect by the frame lamp 28a and the panel lamp 28b in the big hit during the big hit game corresponding to the probable big hit game is lit according to the music of the round effect BGM reproduced and output in the long open round game. If the lamps 28a and 28b are made to emit light in a pattern and the reproduction output of the music for the round effect BGM is continued even in the probability-changing game state after the big hit game, the light emission of the lamps 28a and 28b is interrupted with the lighting pattern according to the music. If it reaches, it will be switched so that it may emit light with the lighting pattern corresponding to reach production. When the round effect BGM is set to a reduced volume, the lamps 28a and 28b emit light.

  Note that even if the reproduction output of the music for the round effect BGM is continued even in the probability variation game state after the end of the big hit game, the light emission effect by the frame lamp 28a and the panel lamp 28b is the lighting pattern corresponding to the variation effect and the probability variation mode. May emit light.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, a new song is added each time a 16R probability variation hit is won in the probability variation gaming state in the consecutive game, and one song is determined from among a plurality of songs, while for round effects. The video is configured so that the 16R probable big hit game-specific production video Y1 is uniquely determined, but it may include a plurality of production images corresponding to each of a plurality of music including additional music. Good. In this case, the content of the effect image is different for each type of music to be played back and output. For example, when the additional music 5 is played back and output in a round game, the effect video corresponding to the additional music 5 is displayed and added. When the music 6 is reproduced and output, an effect video corresponding to the additional music 6 that is different from the effect video corresponding to the additional music 5 is displayed.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the jackpot probability is set to 1/300 in the low probability gaming state, and the jackpot probability is set to 1/30 in the high probability gaming state. May be set differently, and a plurality of states having different degrees of advantage may be set. The condition for changing the setting is set, for example, by displaying a setting screen by a predetermined operation when the power is turned on.

  For example, there are six stages, and the jackpot probability increases as the setting proceeds from setting 1 to setting 6, and setting 6 is more advantageous than setting 1. Specifically, for example, the jackpot probability in the low probability gaming state is 1/300 in setting 1, 1/280 in setting 3, and 1/250 in setting 6. At this time, if the gaming state becomes a high-probability gaming state, the jackpot probability should be common to each setting within a range not exceeding 10 times.

  Specifically, for example, the jackpot probability when setting 1 is low probability gaming state: 1/300, high probability gaming state: 1/30, and jackpot probability when setting 3 is low probability gaming state: 1/280 , High probability gaming state: 1/30, the jackpot probability when setting 6 is set to low probability gaming state: 1/250, high probability gaming state: 1/30. In this way, in the so-called probability variation state in which the gaming state becomes a high probability gaming state, the performance of the probability variation state is the same in any of the setting states 1 to 6, so that the player can acquire the most prize balls in the game. Discomfort in the state can be eliminated.

Suggesting which setting state is set by using the same music in the jackpot game and the music in the probable state in any setting state of settings 1 to 6 So that there is no.
Specifically, in any of the setting states 1 to 6, a new song (additional music) is set by the setting process shown in FIG. 18 every time a winning game is won for 16R probability change in the probability change gaming state. 5. Add additional music 6 ...). That is, the music that can be added for each setting state is changed (for example, the additional music is different between the setting 1 and the setting 3), and it does not suggest which setting state the setting state is. Also, in any setting state of settings 1 to 6, the music that can be selected by the player is the same, and the music that can be selected by the player for each setting state is different, and which is set. Does not suggest a set state.

  The present invention can adopt various modifications without being limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, the images and sounds given as examples of various effects are merely examples, and these can be appropriately modified. In addition, various modifications can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines.
