  When the determination result of the first hold storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a executes a first hold control process. In the first suspension control processing, the main control CPU 30a executes the following processing. The main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a controls the first hold display device 13 so as to display the updated first hold storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub-control board 31 (the sub-control CPU 31a) a hold designation command for designating the first number of storages after the update. The main control CPU 30a acquires the values of various random numbers related to the first variable game and stores them in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. It should be noted that the values of various random numbers related to the first variable game are stored so that the order of acquisition obtained in accordance with the entry of the game ball into the first starting winning opening 21 can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game balls enter the first start winning opening 21 and the first holding storage number does not reach the upper limit number, the holding condition of the first variable game is satisfied. .

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the game ball has not entered the first starting winning opening 21), or when the determination result of the first hold storage number determination is negative (first) If the upper limit of the number of pending storages has been reached), the main control CPU 30a does not execute the first suspension control process.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning port 22a based on whether or not the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 has been input. Make a decision.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when a game ball enters the second start winning port 22a), the main control CPU 30a sets the upper limit number of the second hold storage ("4" in the present embodiment). ) Is performed to determine whether the number is smaller than (2).

  When the determination result of the second hold storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a executes a second hold control process. In the second hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process. The main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a controls the second hold display device 14 to display the updated second hold storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub-control board 31 a hold designation command for designating the updated second hold storage number. The main control CPU 30a acquires the values of various random numbers related to the second variation game and stores them in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. It should be noted that the values of various random numbers related to the second variation game are stored so that the order of acquisition obtained according to the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 22a can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game ball enters the second start winning opening 22a when the second reserved storage number does not reach the upper limit number, the reserve condition of the second variable game is satisfied. .

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

Next, the special symbol start processing will be described. The main control CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
When the big hit game is not being executed or the variable game is not being executed, the main control CPU 30a specifies the second reserved storage number and determines whether the second reserved storage number is larger than “0”. When the second reserved storage number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a specifies the first reserved storage number and determines whether the first reserved storage number is larger than “0”. When the first reserved storage number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start processing.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, when the big hit game is not being executed and the variable game is not being executed, and the second reserved memory number is larger than “0” (that is, there is a second variable game whose execution is suspended). ), The execution condition of the second variable game is satisfied. On the other hand, when the big hit game is not being executed and the changing game is not being executed, the execution condition of the second changing game is not satisfied, and the first hold storage number is larger than “0” (that is, the execution is not held). (When there is a first variable game being played), the execution condition of the first variable game is satisfied. As described above, when both the hold condition of the first variable game and the hold condition of the second variable game are satisfied, the execution condition of the second variable game is satisfied, and the main control CPU 30a executes the second control game. The variable game is executed with priority.

  When the execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the random number relating to the first variation game (the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution, the random number for the special symbol distribution). , And the value of the reach determination random number), read out from the main control RAM 30c the value of the random number relating to the first variable game executed first in the acquisition order. The main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first reserved storage number, and changes the display content of the first reserved display device 13 so as to display the subtracted first reserved storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub-control board 31 a hold designation command indicating the updated first hold storage number.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the read value of the hit determination random number matches the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b to perform a big hit determination (big hit lottery). As described above, the main control CPU 30a that determines whether or not a big hit occurs corresponds to a big hit determination unit. When the result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a outputs the special symbol distribution to the first special symbol display device 11 based on the read special symbol distribution random number. To determine the final stop symbol to be displayed. Thereby, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the big hit corresponding to the final stop symbol displayed as the final stop. As described above, the main control CPU 30a that determines the type of the big hit corresponds to the big hit type determining means. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the jackpot variation patterns based on the read variation pattern distribution random numbers.

The main control CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub-control board 31.
Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first specifies a fluctuation pattern and outputs a fluctuation pattern specification command for instructing start of a fluctuation game. Note that the variation pattern designation command is a command that can specify which of the first variation game and the second variation game is to be executed. The main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 11 so as to start the variable display of the special symbol. The main control CPU 30a starts measuring the fluctuation time of the first fluctuation game. The main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol and the type of big hit. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start processing.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a causes the first special symbol display device to display the final stop symbol determined based on the variation time specified in the designated variation pattern. 11 is controlled. The main control CPU 30a instructs the end of the fluctuating game based on the fluctuating time specified in the specified fluctuating pattern, and outputs an all-symbols stop command for finalizing and displaying the effect symbols.

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

  Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the lost symbol as the final stop symbol that is fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation reach variation pattern and the variation variation pattern based on the determination result of the reach determination and the read variation random number value.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub-control board 31, as in the case of the big hit. After that, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start processing.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the random number relating to the second variation game (the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution, the special symbol distribution). Out of the main control RAM 30c from the main control RAM 30c among the values of the random number for use and the value of the random number for reach determination) in the acquisition sequence. The main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second reserved storage number, and changes the display content of the second reserved display device 14 to display the subtracted second reserved storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub-control board 31 a hold designation command indicating the updated second hold storage number.

  Hereinafter, the process relating to the second variation game is executed based on the value of the read random number. However, since it is the same as the process in the first variation game, detailed description is omitted. In the process related to the second variation game, the control for the “first variation game” is read as the control for the “second variation game”, and the control for the “first special symbol display device 11” is performed. The control is read as the control for the "second special symbol display device 12".

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

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts the opening time triggered by the start of the big hit game, and outputs an opening command to the sub control board 31 indicating that the opening time has started.

  Next, after the opening time is over, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game, and outputs a round command instructing the start of the round game to the sub-control board 31 at the start of each round game. The main control CPU 30a controls the special winning opening 23a to be in an open state and a closed state for each round game. In other words, the main control CPU 30a opens the special winning opening 23a in a predetermined opening mode until the upper limit number of game balls wins or until a predetermined time predetermined for each round game elapses. Control to open state.

  When the round game ends, the main control CPU 30a controls the special winning opening 23a to a closed state, and closes the special winning opening 23a until a predetermined round interval time elapses for each round game. maintain. These series of controls are executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the specified number of round games have been completed, the main control CPU 30a starts the ending time and outputs an ending command to the sub-control board 31 indicating that the ending time has started. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  When ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a, when giving a probable change state based on the determined big hit type (special symbol type), that the main probable change flag is given to the main probable change flag Set a value that indicates On the other hand, when the probable change state is not provided, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probable change state is not provided to the main probable change flag. Note that the main control CPU 30a once resets the value of the main probable change flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  When ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the high base state is given to the main operation flag. The main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating the number of times the high base state is given when the high base state is given based on the type of the big hit and up to a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) of the variable game. Is set in the main operation count flag. The main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the main operation number flag each time the variable game is executed, and resets the value of the main operation flag when the main operation number flag becomes “0”. The main control CPU 30a generates an operation number designation command for designating the value set in the main operation number flag, and stores the command in a predetermined area of the main control RAM 30c. The operation number designation command is output to the sub-control board 31 in a command output process different from the present process. Note that the main control CPU 30a once resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the sub-control CPU 31a executes various processes in response thereto.

  For example, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a fluctuation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, the sub-control CPU 31a displays a fixed stop based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The symbol combination based on the effect symbol to be made is determined.

  That is, when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a big hit symbol, the sub control CPU 31a determines a big hit symbol combination. The sub-control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of the off-reach when the off-reach variation pattern is specified in a case where the specified final stop symbol is the off-design. When the specified final stop symbol is a lost symbol, and the specified variation pattern is determined, the sub control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the loss.

  Upon input of the fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub-controlling CPU 31a controls the effect display device 16, the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP so as to execute the effect symbol fluctuation game based on the fluctuation pattern specified by the fluctuation pattern specification command. I do. Thereafter, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the all-symbol stop command, the sub-control CPU 31a ends the effect associated with the fluctuating game, and causes the determined symbol combination to be fixedly stopped and displayed. As described above, the sub control CPU 31a performs control for displaying the effect symbols during the execution of the fluctuation game. As described above, the sub-control CPU 31a for executing an effect corresponds to an effect control unit.

  When the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the sub-control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the certain variable status is given when the positive hit status is given based on the big hit symbol after the big hit game ends. Set the sub-probability variable flag.

  When the big hit symbol is specified as the final stop symbol, the sub-control CPU 31a indicates that the high base status is given when the high hit status is given based on the big hit symbol after the big hit game ends. Set the value to the sub-operation flag. In addition, when the high base state is provided, the sub control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the number of times of the variable game for providing the high base state in the sub operation number counter. The sub control CPU 31a updates the value of the sub operation number counter based on the value specified by the operation number specifying command. When the value of the sub-operation number counter becomes “0”, the sub-control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the high base state is not assigned to the sub-operation flag.

Here, the variation pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the variation pattern according to the present embodiment is selected based on whether or not a big hit is to be made, and if not, whether or not to execute a slip reach effect. Specifically, the fluctuation patterns HP14 and HP18 are defined as the big hit fluctuation patterns. The variation patterns HP13 and HP17 are defined as the off-reach variation patterns. The fluctuation patterns HP11, HP12, HP15, and HP16 are defined as the deviation fluctuation patterns.

  In the present embodiment, the variation patterns HP11 to HP14 are examples of variation patterns that can be selected in the low base state, and the variation patterns HP15 to HP18 are examples of variation patterns that can be selected in the high base state.

  The change pattern HP12 selectable in the low base state is a change pattern that shortens the change time of the change pattern HP11. The change patterns that can be selected in the high base state include a change pattern HP15 that shortens the change time of the change pattern HP11 that can be selected in the low base state, and a change time of the change pattern HP12 that can be selected in the low base state. There is a fluctuation pattern HP16 to be shortened. For this reason, in the high base state, a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is shortened is more easily determined than in the low base state.

  In the present embodiment, the effect mode is controlled to be shiftable on the condition that each big hit game is completed or the start of the fluctuation game. The effect mode corresponds to the type of the background image of the effect display device 16 in the fluctuation game, and can be easily recognized by the player based on the background image. In addition, the effect mode can be executed over a plurality of continuous variable games. As described above, the effect mode can be specified by displaying the background image, and indicates at least whether the high base state is provided.

Here, the effect mode will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the present embodiment has a plurality of effect modes. The plurality of types of effect modes are roughly divided into three types of effect modes MA, MB, and MC.

  The effect mode MA is an effect mode in the low base state, and the effect modes MB and MC are effect modes in the high base state. The effect mode MC can stay when the probable change state is given, while the effect modes MA and MB can stay when the probable change state is not given.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, transition of various effect modes with the progress of the game will be described. In FIG. 7, a plurality of effect modes are shown using broken lines to classify them. In FIG. 7, the type of the big hit is indicated by using the type of the special symbol of the first fluctuation game.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when it is in the low base state, it stays in the effect mode MA. On the other hand, when it is in the high base state, it stays in one of the effect modes MB and MC. Then, when various jackpots are won, after the end of the jackpot game based on the jackpot, the effect mode can be shifted together with the start of the first variable game.

  When a big hit is won, the user stays in one of the effect modes MB and MC based on the type of the big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of the big hit. Specifically, when a big hit based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, and Zb is won, the user stays in the effect mode MC, and when a big hit based on the symbols ZC and Zc is won, the user stays in the effect mode MB. I have.

  As described above, when in the high base state, the user stays in one of the effect modes MB and MC. Then, when staying in the effect mode MB in the high base state, the predetermined number of times of the variation game are completed, and when the application of the high base state is completed, the effect mode MA is executed with the next execution of the variation game. Will be shifted to. On the other hand, when staying in the production mode MC in the high base state, it is possible to recognize that the high base state will continue to be given until the next big hit game is given. In the low base state, the player stays in the effect mode MA.

Here, the control regarding the effect mode executed by the sub control CPU 31a will be described.
When the opening command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 31a specifies the type of the big hit based on the special symbol designation command in the variable game that has won the big hit lottery. In addition, the sub-controlling CPU 31a specifies the gaming state in the variable game that has won the jackpot lottery based on the sub-probability change flag and the sub operation flag. Based on the specified result, the sub-control CPU 31a sets the data indicating the effect mode to be shifted to after the end of the big hit game, in the effect mode flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 31c. The effect mode flag is a flag indicating the effect mode in which the user stays. In the present embodiment, as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game, data indicating any of the effect modes MB and MC is set regardless of the type of the big hit or the game state.

  Thereafter, at the start of the fluctuating game immediately after the end of the big hit game, the sub-control CPU 31a reads a value from the effect mode flag in the sub-control RAM 31c, specifies the effect mode, and performs various operations such as a background image corresponding to the effect mode. The effect display device 16 is controlled to display an image.

  Next, the variable game start effect mode control process executed by the sub-control CPU 31a will be described below. The fluctuation game start effect mode control process is a process for performing transition control of the effect mode at the start of the fluctuation game. The sub-control CPU 31a executes the variable game start effect mode control processing in response to the input of the variable pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a.

  Further, when the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 31a reads a value from the effect mode flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 31c, and specifies the effect mode in which it is staying based on the value.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a determines whether or not the application of the high base state ends based on the sub-operation flag. When it is determined that the application of the high base state is completed, the sub-controlling CPU 31a sets the data indicating the effect mode MA in the effect mode flag and displays various images such as a background image corresponding to the effect mode MA. The effect display device 16 is controlled. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a that controls the effect mode corresponds to effect mode control means.

  In the present embodiment, when the effect display device 16 is controlled to the high base state, a battle effect is executed as a reach effect during the execution of the fluctuation game. The battle effect as the predetermined effect is started after the effect symbol is once stopped and displayed as a reach symbol combination, and is performed from among a plurality of types of effect results before the effect symbol is confirmed and stopped and displayed. This is the effect from which the result is derived.

  The battle effect is produced as a result of a selection effect in which an ally character and an opponent character to compete are selected, a competitive effect in which the selected ally character and the opponent character compete, and a result of a battle as to whether or not the ally character wins. And a definite effect whose result is derived deterministically. As described above, the battle effect is an effect that is executed in a chronological order, such as a selection effect, a battle effect, and a fixed effect.

  As the ally character, one of a plurality of types of characters belonging to the home country is selected. On the other hand, as the opponent character, any one of a plurality of types of characters belonging to an enemy country opposing the own country and a plurality of types of characters belonging to a neutral country which is neutral to the own country is selected. Note that the degree of expectation that is advantageous to the player differs depending on the type of the ally character and the type of the battle character.

  In addition, examples of images relating to the ally character belonging to the home country include a ally character image belonging to the home country and a red background image corresponding to the ally character image belonging to the home country. The images relating to the battle character belonging to the enemy country include a battle character image belonging to the enemy country and a blue background image corresponding to the battle character image belonging to the enemy country. The images related to the battle character belonging to the neutral nation include a battle character image belonging to the neutral nation and a green background image corresponding to the battle character image belonging to the neutral nation. As described above, the battle effect is an effect in which an image (image information, first image information) related to the ally character and an image (image information, second image information) related to the opponent character are displayed. Then, in the battle effect, images (image information) relating to various ally characters are classified into various effect types for each type of character image, and are classified into various effect types for each display color of the character background image. I have.

  In the present embodiment, the effect type in which the character image belonging to the own country is displayed and the character background image is displayed in red corresponds to the first effect type. The effect type in which the character image belonging to the enemy country is displayed and the character background image is displayed in blue corresponds to the second effect type. The effect type in which the character image belonging to the neutral country is displayed and the character background image is displayed in green corresponds to the third effect type.

  In the battle effect, there are a plurality of types of battle effects, and any one of the plurality of types of battle effects is executed. There are two types of battle productions: a battle production and a reinforcement request. The decisive battle effect is an effect in which an ally character belonging to the own country and an opponent character belonging to the enemy country battle. The reinforcement request effect is an effect in which an ally character belonging to its own country and a battle character belonging to a neutral nation compete.

  In the battle effect, there are a plurality of types of fixed effects, and any one of the plurality of types of fixed effects is executed. As described above, the battle effect is an effect in which one of the plurality of types of effect results is derived. As the types of the definitive effects, a definitive effect (first effect result) in which the ally character wins after the decisive battle effect or the reinforcement request request is executed, and a definite effect in which the opponent character wins after the decisive battle effect is executed (second effect) Effect), and a definitive effect (third effect) in which the opponent character wins after the reinforcement request effect is executed.

  When the selection effect is being executed, the execution of the battle effect can be recognized by the player, but the type of the competing effect to be executed and the type of the confirmed effect cannot be recognized by the player, and the character to be contested is determined. The type of the battle effect to be executed can be recognized by the player. Further, when the competitive effect is being executed, the type of the competitive effect to be executed can be recognized by the player, but the type of the confirmed effect cannot be recognized by the player. Finally, when the fixed effect is being executed, the type of the fixed effect to be executed can be recognized by the player.

  In the present embodiment, when a battle effect is executed in a variable game that is a probable big hit, a definitive effect in which an ally character wins after a decisive battle effect or a reinforcement requesting effect is executed. When a battle effect is executed in a variable game that is a non-probable variable jackpot, a fixed effect in which the opponent character wins after a decisive battle effect is executed is executed. When a battle effect is executed in a variable game that does not result in a big hit, a fixed effect in which the opponent character wins is executed after the reinforcement request effect is executed.

  For this reason, the type of the definitive effect of the battle effect corresponds to the type of the big hit, and even if a predetermined matter occurs after the end of the variable game so as to correspond to the type of the big hit, The type of the determined effect of the effect corresponds to the matter that occurs after the end of the fluctuation game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the matter that occurs after the end of the swing game, whether the jackpot game is given after the end of the swing game, whether the probable change state is given after the end of the jackpot game, and There is an effect mode to be shifted.

  There are a plurality of types of items that occur after the end of the fluctuation game, and one of the plurality of types of items is generated. Specifically, when the first effect result is derived in the battle effect, the first item is generated after the end of the variable game that is a probability change big hit. The first item is an item in which a big hit game is given, and after the big hit game ends, a certain change state is given and the game mode shifts to the effect mode MC. When the second effect result is derived in the battle effect, the second matter is generated after the end of the variable game that is a non-probable variable hit. The second matter is a matter that the big hit game is given, and after the big hit game ends, the game mode shifts to the effect mode MB without giving the certainty change state. When the third effect result is derived in the battle effect, the third matter is generated after the end of the variable game that does not cause a big hit. The third item is an item in which the probability change state is provided and the effect mode is maintained without the jackpot game being provided.

  In the present embodiment, when a battle effect is performed, a movable body effect using various movable bodies KL and KR and movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is performed during the execution of the fluctuation game. In the movable body effect as the specific effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are displaced (operated) to predetermined positions, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emit light in a predetermined light emitting mode. (Emission color) is an effect that is executed in an effect mode that suggests an effect result of the battle effect by emitting light. In addition, it can be said that the movable body effect is an effect executed in an effect mode suggesting matters that occur after the end of the fluctuation game.

  In the movable body effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at any of the first to fifth positions, but the battle depends on the position where the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged. The type of the fixed effect of the effect and the degree of advantage of the transition that occurs after the end of the fluctuation game are different.

  Specifically, the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the fourth position is more advantageous for the player than the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the third position. Further, the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the third position is more advantageous for the player than the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the second position.

  On the other hand, the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the second position is more advantageous for the player than the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the third position. Further, the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the third position is more advantageous for the player than the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the fourth position.

  In the movable body effect, the light emission (light emission information) of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is classified into various effect types for each light emission color (display color), similarly to the battle effect. In the movable body effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light in emission colors corresponding to the types of the character image and the character background image displayed in the battle effect, and thus have relevance.

  That is, the image information relating to various characters in the battle effect and the light emission information of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 are classified into a predetermined effect type so as to have a relationship such as a display color and a light emission color. Then, as the movable body effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light in the emission colors classified into the same effect type as the image in the battle effect. In the present embodiment, the effect type in which the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light corresponds to the first effect type. The effect type in which the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light corresponds to the second effect type. The effect type in which the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light corresponds to the third effect type.

  Further, the movable body effect is executed such that the effect mode changes over a plurality of stages in a time series order during one fluctuation game. In particular, the movable body effect is an effect in which, at each stage, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are displaced, and the emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 that can be visually recognized by the player are changed.

  Specifically, in the first stage (non-final stage) of the plurality of stages in the movable body effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at the first position, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is provided. Emits light in red, and emits light so that the second movable effect lamp KLA2 changes in blue and green. For this reason, in the first stage, the red, blue, and green light emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1, KLA2 become visually recognizable by the player, and finally the possibility of emitting red light and the possibility of emitting blue light. , Green light may be emitted.

  In the next second stage (non-final stage), the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at any of the second to fourth positions, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light, The second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in either blue or green. For this reason, in the second stage, the emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 can be visually recognized by the player as red, blue or green, and finally the possibility of emitting red and the emission of blue or green are emitted. The potential is shown.

  Then, in the next third stage (final stage), one of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR is arranged at the original position, and the other is arranged at the fifth position, and the first movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA1 are arranged at the fifth position. Either one of the second movable effect lamps KLA2 becomes visible. Therefore, in the third stage, one of the red, blue, and green emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1, KLA2 can be visually recognized by the player.

  As described above, in the movable body effect, in the first stage, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light in three types of emission colors, in the second stage, light emits in two types of emission colors, and in the third stage, 1 Light will be emitted in different emission colors. That is, in the movable body effect, in the non-final stage of the plurality of stages, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light of a plurality of types of emission colors, and in the final stage of the plurality of stages, one of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is turned on. This is an effect that emits light with one kind of emission color.

  Further, in the movable body effect, the effect mode changes at a predetermined timing when the battle effect is being executed. In particular, when the selection effect is being executed as the battle effect, the movable body effect is executed in the first stage. Further, when a battle effect is being executed as a battle effect, a movable body effect is executed in the second stage. Further, when the fixed effect is being executed as the battle effect, the movable body effect is executed in the third stage.

  Specifically, when the selection effect is being performed in the battle effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at the first position, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light, and the second movable effect The lamp KLA2 emits light so as to change between green and blue.

  Also, when the battle production is performed as a type of battle production in the battle production, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at any of the second to fourth positions, and the first movable production lamp KLA1 is red. , And the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light.

  Then, when a definitive effect in which the ally character wins after the decisive battle effect is executed, the left movable member KL is displaced to the original position where the right movable member KR is not visually recognizable, and the left movable member KL is displaced to the fifth position, and emits light in red. The first movable effect lamp KLA1 becomes visible to the player.

  On the other hand, when a definitive effect in which the opponent character wins after the decisive battle effect is executed, the right movable member KR is displaced to the original position where the left movable member KL is not visible, and the right movable member KR is displaced to the fifth position. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 that emits light can be visually recognized by the player.

  Further, when the reinforcement requesting effect is executed as a type of the battle effect in the battle effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at any of the second to fourth positions, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is turned on. The lamp emits red light, and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light.

The first movable effect lamp KLA1 to be played can be visually recognized by the player.

  On the other hand, when a definitive effect in which the opponent character wins after the reinforcement request effect is executed, the left movable member KL is displaced to the original position where the left movable member KL is not visually recognizable, and the right movable member KR is displaced to the fifth position. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 which emits light at the time can be visually recognized by the player.

  As described above, in the movable body effect, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light at the non-final stage, so that a confirmed effect in which the ally character wins after the reinforcement requesting effect or the decisive battle effect is executed in the battle effect is executed. Is notified that there is a possibility. When the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light in the non-final stage, it is notified that there is a possibility that a definitive effect in which a battle battle character is executed and a battle character wins in a battle effect is executed. When the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light at the non-final stage, it is notified that there is a possibility that a reinforcement effect requested effect is executed in the battle effect and a definite effect in which the opponent character wins is executed.

  In other words, in the non-final stage of the movable body effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1, the light emitting color corresponding to the effect result of the battle effect that is actually derived and the light emitting color corresponding to the effect result of the battle effect that is not actually derived. KLA2 emits light. In other words, in the non-final stage in the movable body effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light in a predetermined luminescent color, so that the type of the fixed effect that may be executed in the battle effect (the type of the fixed effect Candidates) and types of items that may occur after the end of the fluctuation game (item type candidates). As described above, the movable body effect is an effect in which the light emission information is notified in the non-final stage, so that the candidate of the type of the fixed effect and the candidate of the type of the matter that occurs after the end of the variable game are indicated.

  Then, when a confirmed effect in which the teammate character wins is executed after the reinforcement requesting effect or the decisive battle effect is executed in the battle effect, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light at the final stage. Further, in the battle effect, when the final battle effect is executed and the definitive effect in which the opponent character wins is executed, the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light at the final stage. In addition, when a reinforcement request request effect is executed in the battle effect and a definite effect in which the opponent character wins is executed, the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light.

  That is, at the final stage, one of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emits light in the emission color corresponding to the effect of the battle effect actually derived. In other words, in the movable body effect, at the final stage, one of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emits light of a predetermined luminescent color, and thus the type of the fixed effect that is actually executed in the battle effect, The type of matter that may occur after the end is indicated. As described above, the movable body effect is an effect in which the light emission information is notified in the final stage, thereby indicating the type of the fixed effect and the matters that occur after the end of the fluctuation game.

  Further, the emission colors emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 are light emission information indicating candidates for the type of fixed effect in a non-final stage, and light emission information indicating the type of fixed effect in a final stage. Further, the emission colors emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 are emission information indicating candidates for items that occur after the end of the variable game in the non-final stage, and are the items that occur after the end of the variable game in the final stage. Is the light emission information indicating.

  In the present embodiment, the movable body effect is an effect that is executed when the selected effect of the battle effect is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, a battle effect in which the ally character CA2 and the battle character CB2 compete against each other is executed as the battle effect. As the type of the battle effect, a reinforcement requesting effect is executed in which an ally character belonging to the own country and a battle character belonging to the neutral state compete.

  In this case, as the movable body effect, the left movable body KL is displaced from the first position to the third position, and the movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL continuously emits red light. On the other hand, the right movable body KR is displaced from the first position to the third position, and the movable effect lamp KLA2 provided on the right movable body KR continuously emits green light.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, the operation valid period of the effect button BT is reached, and a button image BG prompting the operation of the effect button BT is displayed. Then, when the effect button BT is operated, a fixed effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (c), as a confirmed effect, the movable doors KTL and KTR are displaced from the original position to the specific position, and the effect display device 16, the left movable member KL, and the right movable member KR are hidden, and the player is hidden. May not be visible. Then, as shown in FIG. 10D, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced from the specific position to the original position. In this case, when the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are arranged at the specific positions, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fifth position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the original position. I do. As described above, before the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced from the original position to the specific position, the effect display device 16, the left movable body KL, and the right movable body KR are visible to the player. Then, after the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced from the specific positions to the original positions, the effect display device 16 and the left movable body KL become visible to the player, and the right movable body KR becomes invisible to the player. .

  In the image display section GH of the effect display device 16, the ally character CA2 and the character background image CHG1 are displayed, and the battle character CB2 and the character background image CHG2 are not displayed. In addition, in the image display section GH of the effect display device 16, the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol combination, and is fixed and stopped when the end of the variable game. In this way, by executing a confirmed effect in which the opponent character CB2 does not win but the ally character CA2 wins, it is determined that a probable big hit will occur.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10E, a big hit game is performed after the end of the variable game. During the big hit game, the effect display device 16 displays the friend character CA2 and the character background image CHG1. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (f), when the execution of the fluctuating game is started after the big hit game is ended, the fluctuating display of the effect symbols is started on the effect display device 16. In this case, the effect display device 16 displays the background image HGC corresponding to the effect mode MC.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10 (g), even when the production button BT is operated, the movable doors KTL and KTR may not be displaced from the original position as the final production, and the left movable body KL may be moved from the third position. While being displaced to the original position, the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the fifth position. As a result, the effect display device 16 and the right movable body KR can be visually recognized by the player, and the left movable body KL cannot be visually recognized by the player.

  Then, the battle character CB2 and the character background image CHG2 are displayed on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 16, and the ally character CA2 and the character background image CHG1 are not displayed. In addition, on the image display section GH of the effect display device 16, the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed as a lost symbol combination, and is fixed and stopped when the end of the variable game. In this case, a confirmed effect in which the opponent character CB2 wins without executing the ally character CA2 without victory determines that the hit has not been achieved.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10 (h), after the end of the fluctuating game, when the execution of the next fluctuating game is started without the jackpot game being performed, the fluctuating display of the effect symbol is displayed on the effect display device 16. Is started. In this case, on the effect display device 16, the background image HGC corresponding to the effect mode MC is continuously displayed.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11A, even if there is a case where the battle between the ally character CA <b> 2 and the battle character CC <b> 1 is performed in the same stage as the battle, the left movable body KL may be used. May be displaced from the third position to the second position, and the right movable body KR may be displaced from the third position to the fourth position. In this case, a confirmed effect in which the opponent character CC1 wins with a higher probability than in the case where the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are respectively located at the third position is executed. That is, when the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the second position and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the fourth position, the type of the confirmed effect is suggested. As described above, the operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR operate is the inferior operation pattern. An operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR do not operate at the second position and the fourth position is a normal operation pattern.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, even when the performance in which the ally character CA2 and the battle character CC1 compete as the battle performance may be performed in the same performance mode, the left movable body KL is moved from the third position. The right movable body KR may be displaced from the third position to the second position at the fourth position. In this case, a fixed effect in which the ally character CA2 wins with a higher probability than in the case where the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are respectively arranged at the third position is executed. That is, when the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fourth position and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the second position, the type of the definite effect is suggested. As described above, the operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR operate is the dominant operation pattern.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11C, even when the effect in which the ally character CA2 and the opponent character CC1 compete against each other is executed in the same effect as the opposing effect, the left movable body KL is moved from the third position. In the fourth position, the right movable body KR may be displaced from the third position to the second position, and the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR may swing. In this case, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fourth position, the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the second position, and the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR do not swing. A confirmed effect in which the ally character CA2 wins with a higher probability is executed. That is, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fourth position, the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the second position, and the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR swing. The type of the confirmed effect will be suggested. As described above, the operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR operate is the super-dominant operation pattern.

  As described above, in the non-final stage, after the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light with a predetermined emission color, the positions where the left and right movable members KL and KR are displaced and the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light change. By doing so, the degree of expectation for the emission color of one of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR in the final stage is indicated.

  In the present embodiment, in the high base state, when a fluctuation pattern specification command for specifying the big hit fluctuation pattern or the out-of-reach fluctuation pattern is input, the sub control CPU 31a determines to execute the battle effect and the movable body effect. Then, the sub-controlling CPU 31a determines the effect pattern of the battle effect (hereinafter, “battle effect pattern”) based on the change pattern specified by the change pattern specifying command and the type of the special symbol specified by the special symbol specifying command. Is determined and stored in the sub control RAM 31c. When the battle effect pattern is determined, the sub-control CPU 31a determines an effect pattern of a movable body effect (hereinafter, referred to as a “movable body effect pattern”) based on the battle effect pattern, and stores it in the sub-control RAM 31c. Remember.

  Then, the sub-controlling CPU 31a controls the effect display device 16, the speaker SP, and the decorative lamp so as to execute the battle effect based on the battle effect pattern. In addition, the sub-controlling CPU 31a controls the various movable bodies KL, KR, KTL, and KTR and the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 so as to execute the movable object effect based on the movable object effect pattern.

  When it is determined that the battle effect is to be executed, the sub-control CPU 31a starts the operation effective period when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation game. Then, when the effect button BT is operated during the operation effective period, or when the effect button BT is not operated and the time specified as the operation effective period elapses, the sub control CPU 31a ends the operation effective period, and moves the door. Control for displacing the bodies KTL and KTR may be performed.

Here, the battle effect pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12, a plurality of types of battle effect patterns are stored in the sub control ROM 31b. The battle effect pattern is stored so as to correspond to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the type of the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. In particular, a plurality of battle effect patterns are associated with one variation pattern. In addition, the effect contents of the battle effect are associated with the battle effect pattern. As the content of the battle effect, the type of the battle effect (win / loss), the attacking character, the type of the ally character, and the type of the enemy character are associated with each other.

  As a specific example, when a variation pattern HP17, which is an out-of-reach variation pattern in the high base state, is input, any one of the battle effect patterns EP1701 to EP1704 is determined with a predetermined probability regardless of the type of the special symbol. Is done. In the battle effect pattern EP1701, a selection effect in which the friendly character CA1 and the opponent character CB1 compete against each other is executed, and after a reinforcement requesting effect in which the friendly character CA1 attacks the opponent character CB1 is executed as the opponent effect, the opponent character CB1 wins. This is an effect pattern in which a determined effect is executed.

  When a fluctuation pattern HP18, which is a large hit fluctuation pattern in the high base state, and a special symbol designating command for designating a special symbol based on the symbols Za and Zb are input, any one of the battle effect patterns EP1801 to EP1818 is given. Determined by probability. In the battle effect pattern EP1818, a selection effect in which the ally character CA2 and the opponent character CC2 compete is executed, and after a decisive battle effect in which the opponent character CC2 attacks the ally character CA2 is executed as a competition effect, the ally character CA2 wins. This is an effect pattern in which a fixed effect is executed.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, the probability that the competitive effect in which the ally character attacks the opponent character is higher than that in the case where the opponent character attacks the ally character is higher than that in the case where the opponent character attacks the ally character. Defines the probability of determining a battle effect pattern. In addition, the determination probability of the battle effect pattern is defined so that the probability of a large change hit is higher when the ally character CA2 fights as the ally character than when the ally character CA1 battles. In addition, the determination probability of the battle effect pattern is defined so that the probability of a large change in the battle character CB1 as a battle character is higher than that in the case of the battle character CB2 fighting. In addition, the determination probability of the battle effect pattern is defined so that the probability of a big hit is higher when the battle character CC1 fights as the battle character than when the battle character CC2 battles.

Next, the movable body effect pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of types of movable body effect patterns are stored in the sub control ROM 31b. The movable body effect pattern is stored so as to correspond to the battle effect pattern. In particular, the movable body effect pattern is stored so as to correspond to a win or loss in the battle effect pattern. Further, the movable body effect pattern is associated with the notification content notified by the movable body effect. The notification contents of the movable body effect include the emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 (shown as “left” and “right” in the figure), the operation patterns of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR, and the door movable. Whether the bodies KTL and KTR operate, the type of the movable body that can be visually recognized finally, and the determination probability of the operation pattern are associated with each other. The operation patterns of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR include a normal operation pattern, a inferior operation pattern, a superior operation pattern, and a super-dominant operation pattern. The inferior operation pattern is a more advantageous operation pattern for the player than the normal operation pattern, the superior operation pattern is an advantageous operation pattern for the player than the inferior operation pattern, and the super dominant operation pattern is more advantageous than the superior operation pattern. Is also an advantageous motion pattern for the player.

  Specifically, when the effect pattern EP1801 in which the reinforcement request effect (success) is executed is determined, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light. Further, after operating the door movable members KTL and KTR, the left movable member KL is finally arranged so as to be visually recognized by the player. The normal operation pattern DP01A has a probability of 60/100, the inferior operation pattern DP02A has a probability of 2/100, the dominant operation pattern DP03A has a probability of 25/100, and the super dominant operation pattern DP04A has a probability of 13/100. Each is determined.

  When the effect pattern EP1701 in which the reinforcement request effect (continuation) is executed is determined, the movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL emits red light, and the movable effect lamp provided on the right movable body KR. KLA2 emits green light. In addition, the right movable body KR is finally arranged so as to be visible by the player without operating the door movable bodies KTL and KTR. Then, the normal operation pattern DP01B has a probability of 80/100, the inferior operation pattern DP02B has a probability of 10/100, the superior operation pattern DP03B has a probability of 7/100, and the super dominant operation pattern DP04B has a probability of 3/100. Each is determined.

  When the effect pattern EP1818 in which the decisive battle effect (failure) is executed is determined, the movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL emits red light, and the movable effect lamp KLA2 provided on the right movable body KR. Emit blue light. In addition, the right movable body KR is finally arranged so as to be visible by the player without operating the door movable bodies KTL and KTR. Then, the normal operation pattern DP01B has a probability of 80/100, the inferior operation pattern DP02B has a probability of 10/100, the superior operation pattern DP03B has a probability of 7/100, and the super dominant operation pattern DP04B has a probability of 3/100. Each is determined.

  As described above, the movable body effect pattern is determined based on the battle effect pattern. Then, the movable body effect is executed based on the movable body effect pattern. In particular, when the left movable body KL is finally displaced to the fifth position and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 that emits red light becomes visible, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced to specific positions. It will be. That is, in response to the displacement of the movable doors KTL and KTR to the specific position, the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position, and it is notified that a confirmed effect in which the ally character wins in the battle effect is executed. It will be.

  Further, when the movable body effect is executed based on the superior operation pattern and the super-dominant operation pattern, the left movable body KL is located at the fifth position more than when the movable body effect is executed based on the normal operation pattern. It is highly likely that the final character will be arranged, and the possibility that a confirmed effect in which the ally character wins in the battle effect will be increased. On the other hand, when the movable body effect is executed based on the inferior movement pattern, the right movable to the fifth position that is visible to the player is more movable than when the movable body effect is executed based on the normal operation pattern. There is a high possibility that the body KR is finally arranged, and the possibility that a definitive effect in which the opponent character wins in the battle effect increases.

  That is, depending on the positions of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR (movable effect lamps KLA1, KLA2) in the non-final stage, the type of the movable body (light emission of the movable effect lamp) arranged at the fifth position visible in the final stage Color). In particular, the region that is emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 in the non-final stage indicates the degree of expectation of the emission color of the movable effect lamp that emits light in a region that is visible in the final stage. In other words, by changing the positions of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 in the non-final stage, the degree of expectation of the emission color of the movable effect lamp that emits light in a visible region in the final stage is indicated. In the present embodiment, the effect of the movable body effect based on the normal operation pattern corresponds to the normal mode, and the effect of the movable body effect based on other than the normal operation pattern corresponds to the special mode.

For this reason, by changing a plurality of light emission information in the non-final stage, the sense of expectation for the type of light emission information notified in the final stage can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (9) Further, the image information on the character in the battle effect and the light emission information in the movable body effect are classified into predetermined effect types, and the movable object effect is classified into the same effect type as the image information in the battle effect. This is an effect of notifying the light emission information. For this reason, the sense of expectation for the effect type of the battle effect can be enhanced from the effect type of the light emission information in the movable body effect, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (10) The effect types are classified so as to have relevance between the battle effect image information and the light emitting information of the movable body effect. For this reason, from the luminescence information in the movable body effect, the effect of the battle effect is derived in the effect type associated with the movable object effect, so that the effect of the effect can be enhanced and the interest in the game can be improved. Can be.

  (11) In addition, as the number of light emission information from the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 changes, the effect of the movable body effect changes. For this reason, the sense of expectation for the change in the number of light emission information can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (12) Due to the displacement of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR, the light emission area emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 changes, so that the effect of the movable body effect changes. For this reason, it is possible to raise the sense of expectation for the change in the light emitting region, and to improve the interest in the game.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, the outer shape of the left movable member KL, the outer shape of the right movable member KR, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable member KL, and the second movable effect provided on the right movable member KR. Although the light emitting area of the lamp KLA2 is constant, the present invention is not limited to this. In the second embodiment, for example, the outer shape of the left movable body KL, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL, and the light emitting area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 provided on the right movable body KR Can be changed respectively. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and the same control contents as those in the above-described embodiment, and the overlapping description will be omitted or simplified.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11D, when the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at the third position, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 are connected. Each emits light in a medium emission area.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 11E, when the left movable body KL is displaced to the second position and the right movable body KR is displaced to the fourth position, as in the inferior motion pattern, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is displaced. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in a light emitting region smaller than the medium level, respectively. As described above, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is reduced, and the light emitting area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 is increased, so that the right movable body KR is finally displaced to the fifth position, and the second movable effect lamp KLA is displaced. The degree of expectation that the effect lamp KLA2 emits light in a visually recognizable manner is increased.

  On the other hand, when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fourth position and the right movable body KR is displaced to the second position, as shown in FIG. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in a light emitting region where KLA1 is larger than medium, and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in a light emitting region smaller than medium. As described above, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 becomes larger and the light emitting area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 becomes smaller, so that the left movable body KL is finally displaced to the fifth position, and the first movable The degree of expectation that the effect lamp KLA1 emits light in a visible manner is increased.

  In other words, the degree of expectation for the type of luminescent color emitted in the final stage is indicated by the change in the luminescent area emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 in the non-final stage.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (g), when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position in the final stage, the left movable body KL is deformed so as to expand. Further, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is larger when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position than when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fourth position.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11H, when the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position in the final stage, the right movable body KR does not deform. The light emitting area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 is the same between when the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position and when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fourth position.

  Thus, in the final stage, the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 becomes visible, and in the final stage, the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position, The light emitting area is different from the case where the second movable effect lamp KLA2 becomes visible. That is, when the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light in the final stage, it emits light in the first light emission mode (first mode), while the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue or light in the final stage. When light is emitted in green, light is emitted in a second light emitting mode (second mode) different from the first light emitting mode. In addition, it can be said that the first light emitting mode has a larger light emitting area than the second light emitting mode, and that the notification amount is large.

As described in detail above, the second embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (12) of the first embodiment.
(13) When the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits light so that the player can visually recognize it in the final stage, the second movable effect lamp KLA2 can be visually recognized by the player in the final stage while emitting light in the first light emission mode. When the light is emitted in the second light emission mode, the light is emitted in the second light emission mode different from the first light emission mode. For this reason, by increasing the variety of the effects by the light emission mode in the final stage, the effect of the effect can be enhanced, and the light emission mode in the final stage can be noticed, and the interest in the game can be improved. .

  (14) The effect of the movable body effect changes due to the expansion and contraction of the light emitting area emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2. For this reason, the sense of expectation for the expansion and contraction of the light emitting area can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (15) In particular, when the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits light in the first light emission mode in the final stage, it is more advantageous for the player than when the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in the second light emission mode in the final stage. Becomes The first light emission mode has a larger notification amount than the second light emission mode, and the first light emission mode is easier for the player to recognize than the second light emission mode. For this reason, it is possible to recognize whether or not it is advantageous for the player based on the notification amount of the light emission mode in the final stage, and it is possible to pay attention to the light emission mode in the final stage, thereby improving the interest in the game.

The above embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, for example, one of a plurality of countries may be selectable in accordance with the operation of the effect button BT. As a specific example, there are a first country having a display color of blue, a second country having a display color of red, and a third country having a display color of green. Thus, it may be possible to select which of the first country, the second country and the third country is the home country, for example, the enemy country and the neutral country may be selectable. In this case, it is preferable that the first movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light with a light emission color corresponding to (related to) the display color of the country selected as the home country.

  In the above embodiment, the door movable members KTL and KTR can be displaced by operating the effect button BT once. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect button BT is operated multiple times (up to a specified number of times). By being operated, the door movable members KTL and KTR may be displaceable (so-called “continuous hit”). Further, for example, the movable doors KTL and KTR may be displaceable (so-called “long press”) according to the operation time during which the effect button BT is operated. Further, for example, the door movable body KTL, KTR may be displaceable in response to the operation of any of the plurality of operation means, and any of the plurality of operation means may be operated in a predetermined order. The movable doors KTL and KTR may be displaceable according to the operation. That is, regardless of the operation mode of the operation means, it is only necessary that the various movable bodies KL, KR, KTL, and KTR can be displaced in accordance with the operation of the operation means.

  In the above-described embodiment, the operation validity period of the effect button BT is set when the stage is changed from the non-final stage to the final stage. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The operation validity period of the effect button BT may be set. In addition, for example, when determining a character to compete with, as in the case of a selection effect, an operation validity period of the effect button BT may be set. In addition, for example, when the stage is changed from the non-final stage to the final stage, the operation effective period of the effect button BT may not be set.

  In the above-described embodiment, the door movable body KTL, KTR is displaced to the specific position when the non-final stage changes to the final stage. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the non-final stage changes to the non-final stage, The door movable members KTL and KTR may be displaced to specific positions. Further, for example, when determining a character to be played, as in a selection effect, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR may be displaced to predetermined positions. Further, for example, when the non-final stage is changed to the final stage, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR may not be displaced to the specific position.

  In the above-described embodiment, for example, various movable bodies KL, KR, KTL, and KTR may be linearly displaced or rotated, or may be displaced in the horizontal direction or vertically. It may be displaced or obliquely displaced. Further, for example, the arrangement direction may be changed without changing the position itself. That is, it is only necessary to be able to operate the various movable bodies KL, KR, KTL, and KTR.

  In the above embodiment, both the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR can be displaced, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at least one of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR may be displaceable. For example, at least one of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR may not be displaceable. Is also good. In addition, for example, at least one of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR may be arranged. For example, at least one of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR is not arranged. Is also good. Further, for example, three or more types of movable bodies may be arranged.

  In the above embodiment, when the battle effect is executed, the character image and the character background image are displayed on one effect display device 16 (image display unit GH). However, the present invention is not limited to this. May be straddled. As a specific example, an effect symbol may be displayed on the first effect display device, an image regarding an ally character may be displayed on the second effect display device, and an image regarding an opponent character may be displayed on the third effect display device. Of course, various images may be displayed on one effect display device 16.

  In the above-described embodiment, as a matter that occurs after the end of the variable game, a jackpot game is given, a certain change state is given after the end of the jackpot game, or an effect mode controlled after the end of the jackpot game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the opening mode in which the special winning opening 23a is opened in the big hit game may be different, and the total opening time in which the special winning opening 23a is opened in one big hit game may be different. Also, a combination of these may be used.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, the character image and the character background image which were displayed as the definite effect of the battle effect were displayed during the big hit game, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one of the character image and the character background image may be displayed, and for example, both the character image and the character background image may not be displayed. Further, for example, an image (for example, a background image or the like) indicating an effect mode to be shifted to after the end of the big hit game may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 change the type of luminescent color from three to two and from two to one. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may change from three types to one type. Further, for example, the number may be changed by the same number.

  In the above embodiment, the light emission of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 in the movable body effect and the image related to the character in the battle effect were classified into three types of effect types. There may be more than one type.

  In the above-described embodiment, the movable body effect and the battle effect are associated with each other for each effect type. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the movable object effect and the event that occurs after the end of the fluctuation game are effected. The association may be made for each type. As a specific example, the movable body effect and the image information during the big hit game after the end of the variable game may be associated with each effect type. Further, for example, the movable body effect and the effect mode after the end of the variable game (regardless of whether or not the big hit game is ended) may be associated for each effect type.

  In the above embodiment, the emission colors emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 in all the stages of the plurality of stages always include the emission colors in the final stage. However, the present invention is not limited to this. There may be a non-final stage that does not include the emission color. As a specific example, when the movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light in the final stage, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light in blue and green in the non-final stage, and the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit red light in the non-final stage. It is not necessary to emit light. Accordingly, even if the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 do not emit light in red, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation that one of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 will eventually emit light in red. Improvement can be achieved.

  In the above embodiment, the battle effect was executed as the reach effect in the high base state, but is not limited to this. For example, when the first stage reach effect (first super reach effect) is being executed, the selection effect is executed, and when the second stage reach effect (second super reach effect) is being executed. A battle effect and a fixed effect may be executed. Further, for example, a battle effect may be executed when a reach effect is not executed. For example, a predetermined effect may be executed as arbitrary effect contents, instead of an effect in which characters compete. Further, for example, a battle effect may be executed in a low base state.

  -In the said embodiment, for example, the effect design change game may be adopted as a predetermined effect, and the combination of a battle effect and the effect design change game may be adopted as the predetermined effect. As a specific example, in the effect symbol variation game that is a big hit based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za and Zb, a big hit symbol combination of [333] and [777] is determined as the effect symbol that is displayed as the fixed stop. . On the other hand, in the effect symbol variation game that becomes a big hit based on the symbols ZC and Zc, a symbol combination of the big hit other than [333] and [777] is determined as the effect symbol that is determined and stopped and displayed. In this case, as a result of the effect of the effect design variation game, a movable body effect may be executed so as to correspond to the effect symbol that is determined and stopped and displayed. As described above, in the effect result of the effect design fluctuation game, the first effect result in which the effect symbol serving as the probability change big hit is determined and displayed, and the second effect result in which the effect symbol serving as the non-probable change big hit is determined and stopped are displayed. There may be a third effect result in which an effect symbol that does not become a big hit is fixedly stopped and displayed. Of course, after the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed as the symbol combination of the big hit other than [333] and [777], the effect symbol may be fixedly stopped and displayed as the symbol combination of the big hit of [333] [777]. In addition, as a specific example, in the effect symbol variation game that is a big hit based on the symbols ZA and Za, the symbol combination of [333] [777] is determined as the effect symbol to be displayed as the fixed stop. On the other hand, in the effect symbol variation game in which a large hit is made based on the symbols ZB, ZC, Zb, and Zc, a symbol combination other than [333] and [777] is determined as the effect symbol to be displayed as the fixed stop. As described above, in the effect result of the effect design fluctuation game, the first effect result in which it is determined that the big hit is determined, the second effect result in which it is not determined that the big hit is determined, and the second result in which the big hit is not determined. There may be three performance results.

  In the above embodiment, the movable body effect is executed in the high base state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the movable body effect may be executed in the low base state. Further, for example, a movable body effect may be executed without accompanying a battle effect. Further, for example, the movable body effect may be an effect indicating a result of an effect of a battle effect or an effect indicating a matter that occurs after the end of the variable game.

  In the above-described embodiment, both the arrangement of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR (the light emission area of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2) and the emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 are emission information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and either one may be used.

  -In the said embodiment, although the 1st movable effect lamp KLA1 was provided in the left movable body KL, and the 2nd movable effect lamp KLA2 was provided in the right movable body KR, it is not restricted to this. For example, one or three or more movable effect lamps may be provided, and it does not matter whether one movable effect lamp emits light in one kind of emission color or one of a plurality of kinds of emission colors. Further, for example, an image display means for displaying various images instead of lamps may be provided on the movable body. Further, for example, a movable effect lamp may be provided on one or three or more movable bodies. Also, for example, a plurality of movable effect lamps may be provided on one movable body, and the movable effect lamps may not be provided on one movable body. Further, for example, it may be provided at a position where at least one of the plurality of movable effect lamps does not move.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the timing at which the effect in the final stage of the movable body effect is executed is an arbitrary timing as long as it is before the final effect of the battle effect or the final stop display of the effect symbol changing game. The timing may not be the same. Also, for example, when the battle effect is performed in stages, before the finalized effect is performed, and when the stage of the battle effect proceeds, such as when the selected effect ends and the battle effect starts, The effect form of the movable body effect does not need to change.

  In the above embodiment, the battle effect was executed in three stages in chronological order such as a selection effect, a match effect, and a fixed effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a battle effect and a fixed effect are performed in chronological order. It may be performed in two stages.

  In the above embodiment, the main control board 30 and the sub control board 31 are provided and various functions are mounted. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a function on one board is mounted as a function on the other board. You may. Further, means for controlling the effect display device 16 may be separately provided. Further, the present invention is not limited to such two types of substrates, and may be configured as, for example, an integrated substrate, or may be configured as three or more types of substrates. As a specific example, the functions of the sub-control board 31 may be divided into an overall control board that performs overall control of the effect and a display control board that performs control relating to image display.

  In the above embodiment, the type of the big hit game is specified by the special symbol specifying command. However, the type of the big hit game may be specified by the variation pattern specifying command or other dedicated control command.

  In the above embodiment, various random numbers related to the variable game may be stored in a storage area provided in accordance with the number of retained storages. In this case, every time the fluctuation game is executed, the random number value is shifted and stored in the storage area obtained by subtracting 1 from the reserved storage number.

In the above embodiment, if the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game is managed by the sub-control board 31, the symbol stop command need not be output.
-In the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, after the big hit game ends, there may be a certain-variable big hit in which the high base state is given up to 100 variable games. In this case, as in the case of the big hit based on the symbols ZC and Zc, the game may be shifted to the effect mode MB after the big hit game is completed, and after the change game has been executed 100 times, the process may be shifted to the effect mode MA. May be. In other words, the effect mode MB may be controlled in both the case where the probability change state is given and the case where the probability change state is not given, and the case where the probability change state is given and the case where the probability change state is not given. The effect mode MA may be controlled in both cases.

In the above embodiment, for example, a small hit lottery may be performed separately from the big hit lottery.
In the above embodiment, the second variable game is executed with higher priority than the first variable game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first variable game may be executed with higher priority than the second variable game. . In addition, for example, the game may be executed in the order in which the game balls enter the start winning holes 21 and 22a. For example, the first change game and the second change game may be simultaneously executable.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, it may be configured such that a certain change state is given by a game ball entering the special winning opening 23a passing through a special passage. Further, there may be a first jackpot that easily passes through the special passage and a second jackpot that is more difficult to pass through the special passage than the first jackpot. Result) may be determined. Further, for example, whether or not the game ball easily passes through the special passage may be included as an item that occurs after the end of the fluctuation game. Further, for example, a configuration that does not include a probable change state may be used. Further, for example, a configuration without the high base state may be employed.

In the above-described embodiment, for example, there may be a type of big hit that becomes a low base state after the big hit game ends.
In the above embodiment, for example, after the end of the big hit game, a certain change state may be given with a predetermined number of executions of the variable game as an upper limit.

  In the above-described embodiment, for example, a gaming machine in which the special winning opening door 23b operates in an open state by a predetermined lottery and a big hit game is given when a game ball entering the special winning opening 23a passes through a specific passage. (So-called "two types of gaming machines").
