In the pachinko game machine 1, a predetermined game using a game ball as a game medium is played,
A predetermined game value can be given based on the game result. As an example of a game using a game ball, a launching motor provided in a predetermined ball launching device based on a player's predetermined operation of a ball-striking operation handle installed on the lower right of the front surface of the housing of the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a result, a game ball as a game medium is launched toward the game area. When the game ball that has flowed down the game area passes through the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the first starting is performed because the game ball is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The condition is met.
Then, based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied, for example, when the last special figure game or the jackpot gaming state has ended, the special figure game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A starts. To be done.

Further, when the game ball passes through the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the second starting condition is satisfied because the game ball is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. To do. Then, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, when the last special figure game or the jackpot gaming state has ended, the special figure game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B starts. To be done. However, when the normal variable winning ball device 6B is in the closed state as the second state, it is difficult or impossible for the game ball to pass through the second starting winning port.

Based on the fact that the game ball that has passed through the passage gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2, the normal symbol starting condition for executing the variable display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 20 is satisfied. After that, based on the fact that the universal figure start condition for starting the variable display of the regular symbols is satisfied, such as the previous universal figure game ending, for example, the ordinary symbol display device 20
The public figure game by is started. In this ordinary figure game, after starting the fluctuation of the ordinary pattern,
When the predetermined time has elapsed, the fixed ordinary symbol which is the variable display result of the ordinary symbol is stopped and displayed. At this time, if a specific ordinary symbol is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the variable display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "universal symbol". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the ordinary symbol is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the variable display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “universal symbol loss”. In response to the fact that the variable display result of the ordinary symbol is "universal symbol", the opening control is performed such that the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the tilted position, and the predetermined time is reached. When the time has passed, the closing control is performed to return to the vertical position.

When the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is started, or when the special figure game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B is started, Whether or not to make the variable display result of the symbol "big hit" as a predetermined specific display result,
It is determined before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Then, the variation pattern is determined at a predetermined ratio based on the determination of the variable display result, and the effect control command for designating the variable display result or the variation pattern is issued to the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 shown in FIG. Is transmitted to the production control board 12.

After the special figure game is started based on the determination of the variable display result and the variation pattern, for example, when a predetermined variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern elapses, a definite special symbol that is the variable display result is derived. Is displayed. Corresponding to the variable display of the special symbols by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, "left", "middle", "right" decorations arranged in the display area of the image display device 5 In the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, variable display of decorative symbols different from the special symbols is performed.

In the special figure game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A, and the special figure game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B, the fixed special that is the variable display result of the special symbol When the design is displayed as a derivation, the fixed display design which is the variable display result of the decoration design is displayed on the image display device 5. When a predetermined big hit symbol is derived and displayed as a variable display result of the special symbol, the variable display result becomes "big hit", and is controlled to a big hit game state as a specific game state advantageous to the player. As a variable display result of the special symbol, when the big hit symbol is not derived and displayed but the lost symbol is derived and displayed, the variable display result is “miss”.

As an example, the special symbol indicating the numbers “3” and “7” is a big hit symbol, and the special symbol indicating the “−” symbol is a lost symbol. It should be noted that each symbol such as the big hit symbol and the lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. However, the special symbol common to both special symbol games may be a big hit symbol or a lost symbol. Further, the special pattern of the lighting pattern having a specific meaning as numbers or symbols is not limited to the big hit pattern or the lost pattern, for example, the special pattern of the arbitrary lighting pattern in the 7-segment LED, the big hit pattern or the lost pattern. May be

In the big hit game state, the special winning opening is opened and the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the first state advantageous to the player. Then, during a predetermined period, or until a predetermined number of game balls enter the special winning opening and a winning ball is generated, a round game in which the special winning opening is continuously opened is executed. In a period other than the execution period of the round game, the special winning opening is closed, and it becomes difficult or impossible to generate winning balls. When a game ball enters the special winning opening, the winning ball is detected by the count switch 23, and a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball each time the game ball is detected. The round game in the big hit game state is repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number of times is reached.

When the special figure display result is “big hit”, it includes the case where the big hit type is either “non-probable change” or “probable change”. For example, as a variable display result of the special symbol, when the big hit symbol indicating the number "3" is derived and displayed, the big hit type is "uncertain change", and when the big hit symbol indicating the number "7" is derived and displayed, the big hit. The type is “probability change”. When the type of big hit is "non-probable change" or "probable change", as a round game in the big hit game state, the upper limit time for making the special variable winning ball device 7 the first state advantageous to the player is relatively long. A regular opening round will be executed, which is time. As a round game in the big hit game state, a big hit type in which a short-term open round in which the upper limit time for setting the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state is relatively short may be executed may be provided. The jackpot gaming state in which the normally open round is executed is also referred to as a first specific gaming state. The jackpot gaming state in which the short-term open round is executed is also referred to as a second specific gaming state.

After the jackpot gaming state is over, the probability that the variable display result is "big hit" may be controlled to be higher than the normal state based on the establishment of a predetermined probability variation control condition. The probability variation state is controlled so as to continue until a predetermined probability variation ending condition is satisfied such that a variable display is executed a predetermined number of times or the next big hit game state is started. Also, after the jackpot gaming state is over, the average variable display time may be controlled to a time-saving state that is shorter than the normal state. The time saving state is controlled so as to continue until either one of the time saving ending conditions is first established among the fact that the variable display is executed a predetermined number of times and the next big hit game state is started. .. As an example, when the big hit type is “non-probable change”, the game state becomes a time saving state after the big hit game state ends. on the other hand,
After the big hit game state ends when the big hit type is "probability change", the game state becomes the positive change state.

In the probability changing state and the time saving state, the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is changed between the first state and the second state in an advantageous change mode in which the game ball easily passes through the second starting winning hole than in the normal state. For example, the control to make the variation time of the ordinary symbol in the ordinary symbol game by the ordinary symbol display device 20 shorter than that in the normal state, and the probability that the variable display result of the ordinary symbol in each ordinary symbol game is “general symbol hit” To improve the tilt control time for performing the tilt control of the movable wing piece in the normal variable winning ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "universal hit" compared to the normal state. Control to make it longer, and control to increase the number of tilts than in the normal state,
The normal variable winning ball device 6B may be changed between the first state and the second state in an advantageous change mode. Note that any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed. In this way, the control for changing the normally variable winning ball device 6B between the first state and the second state in an advantageous change mode is referred to as high opening control. By controlling to such a probability changing state or a time saving state, the time required until the next variable display result becomes a "big hit" is shortened, and a special game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state is achieved.

Good. Alternatively, these game balls and score record information may be those that cannot be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes, but have valuable value that can be used for another game in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

"Left", "middle", "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C provided in the image display device 5
In 5R, one of the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B In response to the start of the drawing game, the variable display of the decorative design is started. After the variable display of the decorative pattern is started, the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5 are displayed.
In the period until the variable display ends due to the stop display of the fixed decorative pattern in R, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern may be a predetermined reach mode.

Here, with the reach mode, when the decorative design stopped and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the variation continues for the decorative design which is not yet stopped and displayed. Or a display mode in which all or a part of the decorative patterns fluctuate in synchronization while forming all or a part of the big hit combination. Specifically, in some of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the decorative symbols constituting a predetermined jackpot combination are still displayed when stopped. The display mode in which the decorative patterns are changing in the remaining decorative pattern display areas that are not stopped and displayed, or all or part of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R Is a display mode in which the decorative pattern fluctuates in synchronization while forming all or part of the big hit combination.

In addition, in response to the reach mode, the fluctuation speed of the decorative pattern is reduced, a character image different from the decorative pattern is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and the display mode of the background image is changed. By performing or displaying a moving image different from the decorative pattern or changing the variable display mode of the decorative pattern, a rendering operation different from that before the reach mode may be executed. The production operation such as the display of the character image, the change of the display mode of the background image, the reproduction display of the moving image, and the change of the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is referred to as a reach production display. In addition, not only the display operation in the image display device 5 but also the speaker 8L is used for the reach effect.
, 8R may be included in the voice output operation, the lighting operation of the light-emitting body such as the game effect lamp 9, and the like, which are different from the operation modes before the reach mode.

As the effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of kinds of effect patterns having different operation modes may be prepared in advance. Then, the possibility of being a "big hit" varies depending on the effect mode in each reach effect. That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” can be made different depending on which of a plurality of types of reach effects is executed. In this embodiment, for example, reach effects such as normal, super A, and super B are preset. In normal, so-called normal reach (normal reach effect) is executed, and in super A and super B, super reach (super reach effect) is executed after normal reach is executed. The transition from normal reach to super reach at this time is also called development to super reach. When the reach effect including the super reach such as super A and super B is executed, the variable display result is more likely to be a “big hit” than when the normal reach effect is executed. Further, among the reach effects including super reach, when a specific reach effect such as super B is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the reach effect of super A is executed.

The jackpot expectation degree is, for example, (probability that the effect will be executed during the jackpot) x (probability that the jackpot will occur) / {(probability that the effect will be executed during the jackpot) x (probability that the jackpot will occur) + (except during the jackpot) The probability that the effect will be executed) x (probability of not being a big hit)}.

During the variable display of the decorative pattern, unlike the reach effect, for example, a predetermined effect image is displayed, a message image is displayed or voice output, a game effect lamp 9 or a decorative LED is turned on. , By a rendering operation different from the variable display operation of the decorative pattern, for example, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern may be a reach mode, and the variable display result may be a “big hit”. A notice effect may be executed to notify the player in advance of the degree of advantage of the game executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

The demonstration operation that is the notice production is "left", "middle", and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C.
5R may be executed after the variable display of the decorative design is started in all of 5R and before the variable display mode of the decorative design becomes the reach mode. Further, the notice effect for notifying that the variable display result may be a “big hit” may include what is executed after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode. In this way, the notice effect can be a jackpot gaming state at a predetermined timing from the start of the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to the derivation of the fixed special symbol or the fixed decorative symbol which is the variable display result. Anything that can predict the sex will do. A plurality of advance notice patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the contents of the effect operation when executing such advance notice effect. The presentation operation as the announcement production may be one that does not cause a change in the variable display time of the special symbol depending on whether or not it is executed.

Specifically, the first character role object rotation effect includes an effect in which the first character role object 61 rotates at the first character role object second position P12. As the second character role object rotation effect, the second character role object 62 is the second character role object second position P22.
There is a production that rotates in. As the third character accessory effect rotation effect, there is an effect in which the third character accessory effect 63 rotates at the third character accessory effect second position P32.

In this embodiment, the first character auditors product action effect to the third character auditors action effect may be executed when the super reach is developed. In addition, when the jackpot result is notified, the first character auditors product motion effect to the third character auditors product motion effect and the first character auditors product rotation effect to the third character auditors product rotation effect may be executed.

Button images and controller images may be displayed before the character accessory effect is executed. In the display effect of the button image, a button image imitating the push button 31B and a controller image imitating the stick controller 31A are displayed on the image display device 5 together with the effective period bar. By displaying the button image and the controller image as the prompt display, the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A is prompted to the player.

The effective period bar indicates the operation effective period during which the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 41A is effective, and becomes shorter as time passes. By operating the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A within the operation valid period, the effect control board 12 receives these operations. Further, the effect control board 12 does not accept the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A during the period other than the operation valid period except for the period of accepting the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A. The character accessory effect and button image display will be further described later.

In this embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned character accessory effects, various types of notification effects, such as step-up notification effects and pseudo-link effects, are used as the notification effects that notify that the variable display result may be a “big hit”. A notice effect, a group notice effect, a background notice effect, a fanned notice effect, etc. are executed. The production mode of the step-up notice production is a production mode in which a plurality of steps are prepared, and the prepared step advances to a predetermined stage. In the step-up notice production, for example, the possibility that the variable display result becomes a “big hit” increases as the step progresses. The effect mode of the pseudo-reminder effect is an effect mode in which, in one variable display, it looks as if the variable display is continuously performed a plurality of times. The presentation mode of the group notice production is a production mode in which a specific character or the like is displayed as a group across the image display device 5 or popping out. The specific character or the like displayed as a group in the group announcement effect may be one kind or plural kinds. The background notice effect effect mode is an effect mode in which the background displayed on the image display device 5 changes. The agitation notice effect effect mode is an effect mode in which a decorative pattern or the like is agitated. In the notice production, these presentation modes may be combined and executed.

These notice effects are not limited to those by displaying an image on the screen of the image display device 5, and may include arbitrary effect operations using various effect devices. As an example of the notice effect different from the image display, there may be an effect in which the display color of the decorative LED is changed, or an effect in which a sound as a special sound effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. In addition to some or all of these notice productions, or instead of some or all of them, decorative L
It is also possible to perform control so as to execute a notice effect in which a part or all of the lighting and blinking of the ED, the display of the effect image, and the output of the sound effect are combined. In addition, the variable display result is a "big hit" when the period includes the period in which the notice effect combining a plurality of types of effect modes is executed, as compared with the case where the notice effect is executed only in one type of effect mode. It may be possible to increase the possibility that a predetermined game value such as the possibility is given.

When the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbols in the special symbol game, is “big hit”, the fixed decorative symbol that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. As an example, when the jackpot type is “non-probable change” or “probable change”, the same on the predetermined effective line in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right” It is only necessary that the fixed decorative patterns to be a big hit combination are derived and displayed by stopping and displaying the decorative patterns together.

When the special figure display result is “miss”, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the reach mode, and the decorative patterns forming the predetermined non-reach combination are stopped and displayed, and thus the non-specific display result In some cases, a fixed decorative pattern that becomes Also, the special map display result is "
In the case of "Loss", after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, the decorative patterns forming the predetermined reach combination are stopped and displayed, and the fixed decorative pattern which is the non-specific display result is derived. It may be displayed.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described.

In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing which is game control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 makes necessary initialization after setting interrupt prohibition. In this initial setting, the RAM 102 is cleared, for example. Moreover, the register setting of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals, and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is completed, interrupts are enabled and loop processing is entered. In the game control main process, a process for returning the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop may be executed, and then the loop process may be entered.

When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it sets the interrupt disabled state and executes a predetermined game control timer interrupt process.

The random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is a random number value used to determine the jackpot type when the variable display result is "big hit" to any of a plurality of types such as "non-probability variation" and "probability variation". is there. The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number value used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to any of a plurality of patterns prepared in advance. The random number MR4 for determining the figure display result is used for determining whether the variable display result in the figure game by the ordinary symbol display device 20 is "per figure" or "missing figure". Is a random number value.

In the special symbol process process included in the game control timer interrupt process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the RAM 102 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A or Various processes are selected and executed in order to control the display operation in the second special symbol display device 4B and the opening / closing operation setting of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 in a predetermined procedure. The normal symbol process process is a process that controls the display operation of the normal symbol display device 20 to enable the variable display of the normal symbol and the tilting motion setting of the movable wing piece in the normal variable winning ball device 6B.

The command control process is a process of transmitting a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12. As an example, in the command control process, the RAM 10
Corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table designated by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in No. 2, for transmitting the production control command to the production control board 12 among the output ports included in the I / O 105. After setting the control data to the output port, set the predetermined control data to the output port of the effect control INT signal to turn on the effect control INT signal for a predetermined time and then to the off state. It is possible to transmit a performance control command based on the setting of. After executing the command control process, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated after setting the interrupt enable state.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S1).

This big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether or not the number of executions of the round game with the special winning opening in the open state has reached a predetermined upper limit number, or the next round game if the upper limit number has not been reached It includes the process of waiting until the start. Then, when the next round game is started, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4", while when the number of executions of the round game reaches the upper limit number, the value of the special figure process flag is "7". Will be updated to

The big hit ending process of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". In this big hit ending process, a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect as an effect operation for notifying the end of the big hit game state is executed by the effect devices such as the image display device 5, the speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect lamp 9 and the like. It includes a process of waiting until the time elapses, a process of performing various settings for controlling to the probable variation state or the time saving state in accordance with the success or failure of the probabilistic variation control condition, and the like. For example, depending on whether the jackpot type is “probability change” or “non-probability change”,
Settings are made to control the probability change state and the time saving state. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0".

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S110 of FIG. 3 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103,
First, it is determined whether or not the second special figure reservation storage number is "0" (step S231). Second
The special figure reservation storage number is the reservation storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. The CPU 103 reads the second reserved storage number count value, and the read value is "
It may be determined whether it is "0".

When the number of second special figure reservation storages is other than "0" in step S231 (step S2)
31; NO), for example, numerical data indicating a predetermined random number value is read out as the reserved data stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, such as the head area of the second special figure reservation storage unit (step S232). As a result, the game random number extracted in response to the occurrence of the starting winning at the second starting winning opening in the starting winning determination process of step S101 shown in FIG. 3 is read. The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a fluctuation random number buffer or the like and temporarily stored.

Subsequent to the processing of step S232, the second special figure reserved storage number is updated by subtracting 1 from the second reserved storage number count value, and the second special figure reserved storage number is decremented by 1. The contents stored in the copy are shifted (step S233). For example, the pending data stored in the storage area lower than the pending number “1” in the second special figure pending storage unit is shifted to the upper by one entry. Further, in the process of step S233, the total number of pending storages may be updated by subtracting one. Then, the fluctuation special map designation buffer value, which is the value stored in the fluctuation special map designation buffer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102, is updated to "2" (step S234).
).

When the number of second special figure reservation storages is "0" in step S231 (step S231)
; YES), and it is determined whether or not the first special figure reservation storage number is "0" (step S235).
.. The first special figure reservation storage number is the reservation storage number of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. The CPU 103 may read the first reserved storage number count value and determine whether or not the read value is “0”. As described above, the process of step S235 is executed when it is determined in step S231 that the number of second special figure pending storage is “0”,
It is determined whether or not the number of the first special figure pending storage is “0”. As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

The special figure game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure. That is, the special figure game may be executed in the order in which the game balls pass through the starting winning opening regardless of whether it is the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening. In this case, the starting opening data indicating which of the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening the game ball has passed is associated with the holding number together with the holding data or separately from the holding data. It may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 so that the order in which the starting conditions are established can be specified for the special figure game corresponding to each hold data.

In step S235, when the first special figure reservation storage number is other than "0" (step S2
35; NO), for example, as hold data stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, such as the head area of the first special figure reservation storage unit, numerical data indicating a predetermined random number value is read (step S236). As a result, the game random number extracted in the start winning determination process of step S101 shown in FIG. 3 corresponding to the occurrence of the start winning at the first start winning opening is read. The numerical data read at this time may be stored in, for example, a fluctuation random number buffer or the like and temporarily stored.

Subsequent to the process of step S236, the first special figure reserved storage number is updated by subtracting 1 from the first reserved storage number count value and updated, and the first special figure reserved storage is updated. The contents stored in the copy are shifted (step S237). For example, the pending data stored in the storage area lower than the pending number “1” in the first special figure pending storage unit is shifted upward by one entry. Further, in the process of step S237, the total number of pending storages may be updated by subtracting one. Then, the variable special map designation buffer value is updated to "1" (step S238).

After performing either of the processing of steps S234 and S238, the special symbol display result which is the variable display result of the special symbol is determined to be either "big hit" or "miss" (step S239). As an example, in the process of step S239, the special figure display result determination table prepared by being stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance is selected and set in the use table for determining the special figure display result. In the special figure display result determination table, a numerical value that is compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the determination result as to whether the special figure display result is “big hit” or “miss”. Just do it. The CPU 103 may determine the special figure display result by referring to the special figure display result determination table based on the numerical value data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result read out from the random number buffer for variation.

FIG. 5A shows an example of determining the special figure display result by the process of step S239. As described above, whether the special figure display result is “big hit” or “miss” is determined by using the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the special figure display result determination table. It may be decided by. In the determination example shown in FIG. 5A, the determination rate of whether or not the special figure display result is “big hit” is varied depending on whether or not the probability variation control is performed in the probability variation state. CPU10
No. 3 may determine that the probability variation control is being performed when the probability variation flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is on.

As shown in FIG. 5 (A), when the probability variation control is performed in the probability variation state, the special figure display result is higher than that in the normal state or the time saving state when the probability variation control is not performed. It is decided as "big hit". Therefore, for example, in the jackpot ending process of step S117 shown in FIG. 3, the probability variation control is performed based on that the probability variation flag is set to the ON state corresponding to the case where the jackpot type is “probability variation”. When in the state, the special figure display result is more likely to be "big hit" and is more likely to be the big hit game state than when the probability variation control is not performed in the normal state or the time saving state.

In this embodiment, whether the game is a special figure game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A, or a special figure game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. Regardless, the special figure display result is determined at a predetermined ratio according to the presence or absence of the probability variation control. On the other hand, in the case of the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A and in the case of the special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B, the determination value is assigned to the special figure display result. Different decision tables may be prepared. In this case, in the case of the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the case of the special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B, the allocation of the determined value to the predetermined special figure display result is made different. You may.

Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines that the special figure display result determined by the process of step S239 is “
It is determined whether or not it is a "big hit" (step S240). When the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit" (step S240; YES), the big hit flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 is set to the on state (step S241). Further, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types (step S242). As an example, in the process of step S242, a jackpot type determination table prepared by storing it in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance is selected and set as a use table for determining the jackpot type. In the jackpot type determination table, the numerical value to be compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination may be assigned to the determination result of which of the plurality of jackpot types. The CPU 103 may determine the jackpot type by referring to the jackpot type determination table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination read from the random number buffer for variation.

FIG. 5B shows an example of determining the jackpot type by the process of step S242. In this determination example, the jackpot type is determined to be either “non-probable change” or “probable change” at a predetermined ratio regardless of whether the variation special map is the first special map or the second special map. In addition, depending on whether the variation special map is the first special map or the second special map, the jackpot type that can be determined may be different, or the determination ratio of the jackpot type may be different. As an example, when the variation special chart is the first special chart, the big hit type can be determined as “probable” at a predetermined rate, while when the variation special chart is the second special chart, the big hit type is “probable”. May be set not to be determined.

After executing the process of step S242, the big hit type is stored (step S24).
3). The CPU 103 may store the big hit type by storing the data showing the determination result of the big hit type in the big hit type buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102.

When the special figure display result is not "big hit" in step S240 (step S240;
No), after executing the processing of step S243, the fixed special symbol which is the variable display result of the special symbol in the special symbol game is determined (step S244). As an example, step S
When it is determined that the special symbol display result is not "big hit" in 240, the special symbol indicating the symbol "-" that is predetermined as the lost symbol is determined as the confirmed special symbol. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S240 that the special figure display result is “big hit”, step S24
According to the determination result of the jackpot type in 2, it is sufficient to determine any one of the special symbols predetermined as the jackpot symbols of a plurality of types as the confirmed special symbol. More specifically, the jackpot type is "
In the case of "non-probable change", the special symbol indicating the number "3" may be determined as the confirmed special symbol. When the jackpot type is "probability variation", the special symbol indicating the number "7" may be determined as the confirmed special symbol.

After executing the processing of step S244, after updating the value of the special figure process flag to "1" (step S245), the special symbol normal processing is ended. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1" in the process of step S245, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the fluctuation pattern setting process of step S111 shown in FIG. 3 is executed.

If the number of pending memories of the special figure game using the first special figure is "0" in step S235 (step S235; YES), a predetermined demo display setting is performed (step S246).
), The special symbol normal processing ends. In this demonstration display setting, whether or not a production control command for designating a demonstration display by displaying a predetermined production image on the image display device 5, for example, has been transmitted from the main board 11 to the production control board 12. To judge. At this time, if it has been transmitted, the demo display setting is ended as it is. On the other hand, if it has not been sent, the setting for sending the customer waiting demo designation command is performed, and then the demo display setting ends.

FIG. 6A is a flowchart showing an example of the processing executed in step S111 of FIG. 3 as the variation pattern setting processing. In the fluctuation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 6A, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the big hit flag is on (step S2).
61). When the big hit flag is on (step S261; YES), the variation pattern corresponding to the big hit when the special figure display result is "big hit" is determined (step S261).
262). On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off (step S261; NO), the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the special figure display result is "miss" is determined (step S2).
63).

FIG. 6B shows a variation pattern in this embodiment. In this embodiment, in the case where the variable display result is “miss”, the variable display mode of the decorative design is “non-reach” that does not reach the reach mode and “reach” when the reach mode is reached. A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to each of them, and when the variable display result is a "big hit".

In the process of step S262 shown in FIG. 6A, the jackpot variation pattern determination table prepared by storing it in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance is used to determine the jackpot variation pattern. In the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table, a numerical value that is compared with the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination is assigned to the fluctuation pattern determination result depending on whether the jackpot type is “non-probability change” or “probability change”. It has to be done. The CPU 103 refers to the jackpot variation pattern determination table based on the numerical data indicating the variation pattern determining random number value MR3 read out from the variation random number buffer, so that the variable display result is “big hit”.
In this case, the variation pattern corresponding to the above case may be determined.

In the processing of step S263 shown in FIG. 6 (A), in correspondence with the case of the normal state in which the game state is the normal state, and the case of the state in which the game state is a time saving control in which the time saving control is performed in the probability changing state or the time saving state,
The variation pattern at the time of loss is determined by using one of a plurality of loss variation pattern determination tables prepared in advance. In the plurality of loss variation pattern determination tables, a numerical value that is compared with the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used as the variation pattern determination result depending on whether it is a normal time or a short time or the total number of pending storages. , As long as it is assigned. Based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination read out from the random number buffer for fluctuations, the CPU 103 refers to any one of the loss fluctuation pattern determination tables depending on the normal time and the shortening of the time period, thereby changing the value. It suffices to determine the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the display result is “miss”.

In the loss variation pattern determination table, when the total pending storage number is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is determined to be "non-reach" at a higher rate than when it is less than the predetermined number, The decision value may be assigned. In this way, when the special figure reservation storage number is equal to or larger than the predetermined number, the variable display mode of the decorative design may be set to be less likely to be determined as the reach mode than when it is less than the predetermined number. As a result, when the number of special figure reservation storages is relatively large, the average variable display time is shortened as compared with the case where the number is relatively small to suppress the occurrence of invalid starting winnings, and the game ball by the player. Can be reduced.

FIG. 7A shows an example of determining a variation pattern at the time of a big hit. In this example of determination, the determination rate of the variation pattern such as the variation pattern PA3-1 in which the normal reach effect is executed is determined by the variation pattern of the reach effect in which the super reach effect is executed after the normal reach effect such as the variation patterns PA3-2 and PA3-3. It is set to be lower than the determination rate of.

FIG. 7B shows an example of determining the variation pattern at the time of losing. In this example of determination, the determination rate of the variation pattern in which the normal reach effect is executed, such as the variation pattern PA2-1, is the variation pattern of the reach effect in which the super reach effect is executed after the normal reach effect, such as the variation patterns PA2-2 and PA2-3. It is set to be higher than the decision rate of.

Further, at the time of a big hit, the determination rate of the variation pattern in which the super reach effect is executed is set to be higher than that at the time of losing. As a result, when the variable display result is derived after the super reach effect is executed, the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" is increased.

In the determination example shown in FIG. 7A, the reach effect of the super A such as the fluctuation pattern PA3-3 is determined so that the reach effect of the super B is executed. It is set to be higher than the determination rate of the fluctuation pattern. On the other hand, in the determination example shown in FIG. 7B, a variation pattern PA2-3,
The determination rate of the variation pattern in which the reach effect of Super B is executed is the variation pattern PA2-
It is set to be lower than the determination rate of the variation pattern in which the reach effect of Super A, such as 2, is executed. Further, at the time of a big hit, the determination rate of the variation pattern in which the reach effect of Super B is executed is set to be sufficiently higher than that at the time of losing. Therefore, when the variable display result is "big hit" and the gaming state becomes the big hit gaming state, the variable display result is obtained after the reach effect of Super B is executed at a higher rate than when the big hit gaming state is not achieved. Derived.

As shown in FIG. 6B, the variation patterns PA2-1 to PA2-3 and the variation pattern PA
3-1 to PA3-3 have the same special figure variation time and contents, but differ in whether the variable display result is "miss" or "big hit". With the setting of the determination ratios shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, when the normal reach effect is followed by the super reach effect, the normal reach effect is executed, and after the normal reach effect is not performed, the super reach effect is a big hit. Expectations are increased. Further, when the reach effect of the super B is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the reach effect of the super A is executed.

After performing either of the processes of steps S262 and S263, the special symbol variation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is set (step S264). The special symbol variation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is the time required from the start of the variation of the special symbol in the special symbol game to the derivation display of the fixed special symbol which is the variable display result. As shown in FIG. 6 (B), the special figure variation time is set in advance corresponding to a plurality of variation patterns prepared in advance. CP
U103 can set the timing at which the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is derived by setting the special symbol variation time.

Following the processing of step S264, of the special figure game using the first special figure on the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B, start The setting for starting the fluctuation of the special symbol is performed so as to start one of the special figure games where the conditions are satisfied (step S265). As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is “1”, the setting for transmitting a drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure on the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the fluctuation special map designation buffer value is “2”, the second
The setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special symbol on the special symbol display device 4B is performed.

After executing the process of step S265, transmission setting of the command at the start of variation of the special symbol is performed (step S266). For example, when the variation special figure designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 to change the first variation start command, the variation pattern designation command, the variable display result notification command, and the first variation start result command. The RO of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance for sequentially transmitting the number of reserved storage notification commands
Designate a storage address in M101. On the other hand, when the variation special map designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 to change the second variation start command, the variation pattern designation command, the variable display result notification command, and the second variation start command. ROM of a second variation start command table prepared in advance for sequentially transmitting the number of reserved storage notification commands
The storage address in 101 is designated.

The first variation start command and the second variation start command are for the variation start in the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. This is an effect control command for designating the start of fluctuation in the special figure game. The variation pattern designation command is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game. Is a production control command for designating a variation pattern such as a decorative pattern. The variable display result notification command is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special design or a decorative design.

After the process of step S266 is executed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2" (step S267), and then the fluctuation pattern setting process is ended. By updating the value of the special figure process flag to "2" in step S267, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the special symbol variation process of step S112 shown in FIG. 3 is executed.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described.

In the production control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the production control CPU
120 is activated and a predetermined effect control main process is executed. In the effect control main process, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and set the CTC register mounted on the effect control board 12. .. Then, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on. The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off, it waits.

On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt that occurs when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state is used, an interrupt occurs. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order. The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt processing,
Of the input ports included in the I / O 125, a control signal serving as a production control command is fetched from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command fetched at this time is stored in the effect control command receiving buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the production control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on, the timer interrupt flag is cleared to the off state and the command analysis process is executed. In the command analysis process, for example, the main board 11
After reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game controlling microcomputer 100 and stored in the effect control command receiving buffer, setting and control corresponding to the read effect control commands are performed. ..

After executing the command analysis process, the effect control process process is executed. In the effect control process process, various kinds of operations such as an operation of displaying an effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, an operation of outputting sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation of a light emitting body such as the game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED are performed. With respect to the control content of the production operation using the production device, determination, determination, setting, and the like according to the production control command transmitted from the main board 11 are performed. Following the effect control process processing, effect random number updating processing is executed, and numerical data indicating effect random numbers counted by the random counter of the RAM 122 are updated by software as various random number values used for effect control.

Drawing 8 is a flow chart which shows an example of production control process processing. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 8, the effect control CPU 120 selects one of the following processes of steps S170 to S176 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. Run.

The variable display start waiting process of step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0". This variable display start waiting process is the first process transmitted from the main board 11.
It includes a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of the decorative pattern on the screen of the image display device 5 based on whether or not the fluctuation start command or the second fluctuation start command is received. The first variation start command is an effect control command for notifying that the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. The second fluctuation start command is
It is a production control command for notifying that the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is started. When either the first fluctuation start command or the second fluctuation start command is received, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1".

The variable display start setting process of step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". This variable display start setting process corresponds to the start of variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, on the screen of the image display device 5. In order to perform variable display of decorative designs in and various other production operations, it includes processing for determining fixed decorative designs and various production control patterns according to the variation patterns of special designs and the types of display results. . When the variable display start setting process is executed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2".

The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, various control data is read from the effect control pattern corresponding to the timer value in the effect control process timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122, and various effects during variable display of the decorative pattern. It includes processing for controlling. Further, in the variable display during presentation processing, in response to receiving the symbol fixing command transmitted from the main board 11, etc., the fixed decorative symbol as the final stop symbol which is the variable display result of the decorative symbol is completely stopped and displayed. It includes a process that causes it. In addition, in response to the end code being read from the predetermined effect control pattern, the fixed decorative design may be completely stopped and displayed. In this case, when the variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command has elapsed, the production control board 12 can autonomously operate even if the production control command from the main board 11 is not used. The variable display result can be confirmed by deriving and displaying the fixed decorative pattern. After performing such effect control, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3".

The variable display stop process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3". The variable display stop process starts the jackpot gaming state based on the variable display result notified by the variable display result notification command, the determination result of whether the jackpot start designation command transmitted from the main board 11 is received, or the like. It includes a process of determining whether or not to be performed. And, when the variable display result corresponds to "big hit" and the big hit game state is started,
While the value of the production process flag is updated to "4", if the special figure display result corresponds to "miss" and the jackpot gaming state is not started, the production process flag is cleared and the value is " It is initialized to 0 ".

The big hit display process of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4". The big hit display process includes a process for executing a big hit notification effect for notifying the start of the big hit game state based on the fact that the big hit start designation command transmitted from the main board 11 is received. And when the execution of the jackpot notification effect is finished,
The value of the production process flag is updated to "5".

The big hit midtime production process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "5". In the big hit mid-hit effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and displays an effect image based on the setting content on the screen of the image display device 5. Alternatively, by outputting an instruction or a sound to the voice control board 13, the voice or sound effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and by outputting an instruction to the lamp control board 14, the game effect lamp 9 or the decorative LED is turned on / off.
Various effect control in the big hit game state such as blinking is executed. In the big hit mid-game production process, the value of the production process flag is updated to "6" in response to, for example, a big hit end designation command transmitted from the main board 11.

The big hit end effect process of step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big hit end production process, the production control CPU 120
For example, the effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit game state is set, and an effect image based on the setting contents is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5, or a speaker 8L is output by outputting a command to the voice control board 13. , 8R to output voice or sound effect, to turn on / off / blink the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by output of a command to the lamp control board 14, various effect control at the end of the jackpot gaming state. To execute. After that, the production process flag is cleared and its value is initialized to "0".

FIG. 9A is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process executed in step S171 of FIG. In the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 9A, the effect control CPU 120 first determines a final stop symbol or the like that is a fixed decorative symbol as a variable display result of the decorative symbol (step S401). At this time, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the change start time determination content such as the change pattern indicated by the change pattern designation command transmitted from the main board 11 or the variable display result indicated by the variable display result notification command. , Final stop design is decided. In this embodiment, as the determination contents at the start of fluctuation in accordance with the combination of the fluctuation pattern and the variable display result, "non-reach (miss)", "reach (miss)", "non-probable change (big hit)", "probable change ( There is a big hit).

FIG. 9 (B) shows an example of determining the decorative design which is the final stop design in the process of step S401. In this example, when the change start determination content is "non-reach (miss)", different decorative symbols are determined as final stop symbols in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R. The CPU 120 for effect control extracts numerical data indicating a random number value for determining the left definite symbol which is updated by the random number circuit 124 or a random counter for effect provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, and is stored in the ROM 121 in advance. By referring to the prepared left definite symbol determination table, the left definite decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed in the “left” decorative symbol display area 5L in the display area of the image display device 5 is decided among the definite decorative symbols. Next, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the right fixed symbol which is updated by the random number circuit 124 or the production random counter is extracted, and the right fixed symbol determination table stored in advance in the ROM 121 is referred to. As a result, the right fixed decorative pattern to be stopped and displayed in the “right” decorative pattern display area 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 among the fixed decorative patterns is determined. At this time, the design number of the right confirmed decorative design may be determined so as to be different from the design number of the left confirmed decorative design by the setting in the right confirmed design determination table and the like. Subsequently, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the medium-decision decorative symbol updated by the random number circuit 124 or the effect random counter is extracted, and the medium-decision symbol determination table stored in advance and stored in the ROM 121 is referred to. By doing so, the middle fixed decorative pattern to be stopped and displayed in the “medium” decorative pattern display area 5C in the display area of the image display device 5 of the fixed decorative patterns is determined.

When the change start determination content is "reach (miss)", the same decorative design is determined as the final stop design in the "left" and "right" decorative design display areas 5L and 5R. Production control C
PU120 extracts the numerical data showing the random number value for left and right definite symbol determination updated by the random number circuit 124 or the production random counter, etc., and refers to the left and right definite symbol determination table stored in advance and stored in the ROM 121. As a result, among the fixed decorative symbols, the decorative symbols having the same symbol numbers stopped and displayed in the “left” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 are determined. Furthermore, the numerical data indicating the random number value for medium-decision symbol determination, which is updated by the random number circuit 124 or the production random counter, is extracted, and R
By referring to a medium fixed symbol determination table which is stored and prepared in advance in the OM 121, etc., the "medium" decorative symbol display area 5 in the display region of the image display device 5 among the fixed decorative symbols
The middle fixed decorative design which is stopped and displayed at C is determined. Here, when the fixed decorative design is a big hit combination, for example, when the design number of the medium fixed decorative design is the same as the design number of the left fixed decorative design and the right fixed decorative design, an arbitrary value is set. Is added to or subtracted from the symbol number of the medium fixed decorative design so that the fixed decorative design does not become a big hit combination but a reach combination. Or, when deciding the medium-decorated decorative design,
You may decide the difference with the design number of the left fixed decorative design and the right fixed decorative design, and set the middle fixed decorative design corresponding to the design difference.

If the decision contents at the start of fluctuation are "non-probable change (big hit)" or "probable change (big hit)",
The same decorative design is determined as the final stop design in the decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". The CPU 120 for effect control extracts numerical data indicating a random number value for determining the jackpot confirmed symbol which is updated by the random number circuit 124 or the random counter for effect.
Subsequently, by referring to the jackpot confirmed symbol determination table stored in advance in the ROM 121, the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L in the display area of the image display device 5, The decorative symbols having the same symbol numbers stopped and displayed in 5C and 5R are determined. At this time, depending on whether the jackpot type is "non-probable variation" or "probable variation", whether the jackpot mid-elevation production is executed, etc., either the normal design or the probable variation design is set as the fixed decorative design. It only has to be decided. Specifically, when the big hit type is "non-probable variation", a fixed decorative design is determined from a plurality of types of normal designs. Moreover, when it is determined that the jackpot type is “probability variation” and the jackpot middle promotion effect is not to be executed, a confirmation decorative design is determined from among a plurality of types of probability variation designs. On the other hand, even if the big hit type is “probable change”, when it is decided to execute the big hit middle promotion effect, from the plurality of kinds of normal symbols, the one that becomes the fixed decorative symbol is decided. As a result, it is possible to prevent the promotion effect during the big hit from being executed even though the probability variation patterns are collectively derived and displayed as the fixed decorative patterns, and do not give the player a feeling of distrust.

In the process of step S401, when the variation start determination content is “non-probable change (big hit)” or “probable change (big hit)”, whether or not to execute the probable change promotion effect such as re-lottery effect or jackpot mid-promotion effect May be determined. In the re-lottery effect, once the decorative pattern of the non-probable variation big hit combination consisting of the same normal pattern is temporarily displayed during the variable display of the decorative pattern, it is once difficult or unrecognizable to be controlled in the probability variation state, It is possible to inform that the decorative design is controlled to the probable state by displaying the decorative design variably again and stopping and displaying the decorative design of the probable variation big hit combination consisting of the same probabilistic design. In addition, after the decorative design is changed again in the re-lottery effect, the decorative design of the non-probable variation big hit combination is stopped and displayed, so that the control in the probable variation state may not be notified. Moreover, it is sufficient to be able to inform that the control is performed in the probability change state by executing the big hit middle promotion effect during the big hit game state or at the end of the big hit game state.
When it is determined to execute the re-lottery effect in the process of step S401, the combination of the decorative symbols to be temporarily displayed before the re-lottery effect is executed may be determined.

Subsequent to the determination of the final stop symbol or the like in step S401, the effect control CPU 120 performs a character accessory effect determination process (step S402). FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S402 of FIG. 9A as the character accessory effect determination process. In the character accessory effect determination process shown in FIG. 10, C for effect control
The PU 120 first performs a character role product effect determination process during super reach development (step S501). In the process for determining character character effects during development of super reach, for example, the effect control CPU 120 stores in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 121 as a use table for determining character effects effects during development of super reach. Prepared Figure 11 (
Select and set the character accessory effect determination table at the time of developing super reach shown in A). In the super-reach development character role effect determination table, for example, whether or not the character role effect is executed during super reach development, or when the character role effect is executed, the character that operates is the first character role. It is determined which of the object 61 to the third character accessory 63. Whether or not the character accessory effect is executed and the selection of the character when the character effect is executed are executed by the super reach effect when the change pattern is super B, and the change pattern PA3-3 in which the variable display result is “big hit”. Or the variable pattern PA2-3 in which the variable display result is “miss” when the super reach effect is executed, the numerical value to be compared with the random number value for determining the character accessory effect is “execution”. It may be assigned to any of the determination results of “none”, “third character”, “second character”, and “first character”. It should be noted that "no execution" indicates a pattern in which the character accessory effect is not executed, and "third character" is the third character accessory effect operation in which the third character accessory operation is performed as the character accessory effect. The "second character" indicates a pattern in which the second character auditors product action effect in which the second character auditors product 62 operates is executed as the character auditors effect, and the "first character" indicates the character role. The figure shows a pattern in which the first character auditors product motion effect in which the first character auditors product 61 operates is executed as the object effect.

The effect control CPU 120, for example, based on numerical data indicating a random number value for determining a character accessory effect, which is extracted from a random number circuit for effect provided in a predetermined area of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122, etc. By referring to the object effect determination table, "no execution" at the time of developing the super reach, or "3rd character""2ndcharacter""1stcharacter" when the character accessory effect is executed You just have to decide.

FIG. 11A shows an example of the configuration of the character accessory effect determination table during super reach development. In this super reach developing character accessory production determination table, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern PA3-3 in which the super reach production when the super B is performed and the variable display result is "big hit", "No execution" among "no execution", "third character", "second character", and "first character" has a lower selection rate than "third character", and "third character" has a lower selection rate. The selection ratio is lower than the “second character”, and the selection ratio of the “second character” is lower than that of the “first character” (selection ratio: “no execution” <“third character”). Character "<" second character "<" first character ").

Further, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern PA2-3 in which the super reach effect when the super B is performed and the variable display result is “miss”, the “first character” is the “second character”. The selection ratio is lower than that of "character", and "second character" is "
The selection ratio is lower than that of the "third character", and the "third character" has "no execution"
The selection ratio is lower than the selection ratio (selection ratio: “first character” <“second character” <“third character” <“no execution”). Therefore, the jackpot expectation is higher in the “third character” than in the “no execution” and in the “second character” than in the “third character”.
Is higher, and “first character” is higher than “second character” (big hit expectation: “no execution” <“third character” <“second character” <“first character” )).

After executing the processing of step S501, the CPU 120 for effect control performs the button image display determination processing during super reach development (step S502). In the super-reach development button image display determination process, for example, the effect control CPU 120 is prepared by storing in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 121 as a use table for determining the super-reach development button image display. Then, the button image display determination table at the time of developing the super reach shown in FIG. 11B is selected and set. In the button image display determination table when the super reach is developed, for example, whether the button image is displayed when the super reach is developed, or when the button image is displayed, whether the character image is displayed together with the button image is displayed. decide. The display of the button image and the display of the character image are selected such that the variation pattern is the variation pattern PA3-3 in which the super reach effect when the super B is performed and the variable display result is “big hit”, or the super reach is displayed. The numerical value that is compared with the random number value for determining the button image display at the time of developing the super reach is “No execution” and “No execution” depending on whether or not the variation pattern PA2-3 in which the effect is executed and the variable display result is “miss”. It may be assigned to the determination result of “no character” or “character is present”. It should be noted that “no execution” indicates a pattern in which the button image is not displayed, “no character” indicates a pattern in which the button image is displayed but the character image is not displayed, and “with character” indicates the button image and the character image. Shows the pattern that is displayed.

The CPU 120 for effect control develops the super reach based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the button image display at the time of developing the super reach, which is extracted from the random number circuit 124 or the random counter for effect provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122. By referring to the hour button image display determination table, it is determined whether "no execution" is performed when the super reach is developed, or "no character" or "character is present" when the button image is displayed. do it.

FIG. 11B shows an example of the configuration of the button image display determination table during super reach development. In this button image display determination table during development of super reach, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern PA3-3 in which the super reach effect when the super B is performed and the variable display result is "big hit", "no execution" is performed. Of "No character" and "With character", "No execution" is selected less than "No character", and "No character" is selected more than "With character". It is low (selection ratio: "No execution"<"Nocharacter"<"Characterexists").

Further, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern PA2-3 in which the super reach effect when the super B is performed and the variable display result is “miss”, “with character” is more preferable than “without character”. The selection ratio is low, and the selection ratio of “no character” is lower than that of “no execution” (selection ratio: “with character” <“without character” <“without execution”). For this reason, the jackpot expectation is higher for “no character” than for “no execution” and higher for “with character” than for “no character” (big expectation: no execution <"Nocharacter"<"Withcharacter").

When the effect control CPU 120 determines that “there is a character” as the button image display, in step S501, the image of the character determined by the type of the character accessory effect is displayed on the image display device 5. For example, when “third character” is determined as the type of the character accessory effect in step S501, the third character image 213 is displayed along with the button image 201 as shown in FIG. 14C-2. Display in 5.

In step S501, depending on whether or not it is a case where the character accessory effect is executed (when any one of the "third character" to the "first character" is determined as the character accessory effect), the button image is determined. You may make it differ in the determination rate of a display. For example, when the character accessory effect is executed (when any of the “third character” to the “first character” is determined as the character accessory effect), the character accessory effect is not executed (the character character effect). A higher proportion of button images are displayed (either “no character” or “with character” is selected as the button image display) than when “no execution” is selected as a character effect). Good.

Further, when “with character” is determined as the button image display, execution of the character accessory effect may be confirmed. In other words, "
When "no execution" is determined, "with character" may not be determined (the determination ratio is 0) as the button image display.

After performing the process of step S502, the effect control CPU 120 performs a big hit result notification time image display determination process (step S503). In the jackpot result notification image display determination process, as one example, the effect control CPU 120 is prepared by storing in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 121 as a use table for determining an image displayed when the jackpot result notification is performed. The jackpot result notification image display determination table shown in FIG. 11C is selected and set. In the jackpot result notification image display determination table, for example, it is determined whether or not the button image or the controller image is displayed when the jackpot result notification is issued, or neither of them is displayed. The display of the button image and the display of the character image can be selected by changing the variation pattern to Super B.
Is a variation pattern PA3-3 in which the variable reach display result is "big hit" or the variation pattern PA2-3 in which the variable reach result is "miss". Depending on whether it is, a numerical value to be compared with the random number value for determining the image display at the time of big hit result notification may be assigned to any of the determination results of “none”, “button image”, and “controller image”. . Note that “none” indicates a pattern in which neither the button image nor the controller image is displayed, “button image” indicates the pattern in which the button image is displayed, and “controller image” indicates the pattern in which the controller image is displayed. Is shown.

The effect control CPU 120 uses the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the image display determination at the time of the big hit result, which is extracted from, for example, the random number circuit for effect provided in the predetermined area of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122, or the like. By referring to the image display determination table, it may be determined which of “none”, “button image”, and “controller image” at the time of notifying the big hit result.

FIG. 11C shows an example of the configuration of the image display determination table when the big hit result is notified. In this jackpot result notification image display determination table, the variation pattern PA3- in which the variable reach display result is "big hit" by executing the super reach effect when the variation pattern is super B
In the case of 3, “None” of “None”, “Button image”, and “Controller image” is “None”.
The selection ratio is lower than "button image", and "button image" is "controller image"
The selection ratio is lower than the selection ratio (selection ratio: “none” <“button image” <“controller image”).

Further, when the variation pattern is the variation pattern PA2-3 in which the super reach effect when the super B is performed and the variable display result is “miss”, the “controller” is selected rather than the “button image”. The ratio of being selected is lower, and the ratio of selecting “button image” is lower than selecting “none” (selection ratio: “controller image” <“button image” <“
None "). For this reason, the jackpot expectation is higher for the "button image" than for "none", and higher for the "controller image" than for the "button image" (jackpot expectation: "none").
<"Button image"<"Controllerimage").

Note that when the button image or the controller image is displayed, the button image or the controller image is clearly displayed, but a display may be displayed to discriminate whether or not the button image or the controller image is displayed. For example, a button image or a controller image may be displayed lightly to stimulate the display of the button image or the controller image, and then the button image or the controller image may be displayed clearly, or may be disappeared without displaying the button image or the controller image. There may be. Alternatively, the button image and the controller image may be displayed alternately and lightly so as to support which of the button image and the controller image is displayed or whether neither of them is displayed. In this case, for example, even if the button image display is “none”, the button image and the controller image may be displayed in a faint manner in common.

In this way, when the character accessory effect determination process is completed, the process returns to the flow shown in FIG.
After executing the process of step S402, the effect control CPU 120 executes the notice effect determination process (step S404). In the notice production determination process, the presence or absence of execution of notice production other than the character role product production determination process, such as step-up notice production, pseudo-repeated notice production, group notice production, background notice production, and fanned notice production, is determined.

After executing the process of step S404, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect control pattern to be one of a plurality of patterns prepared in advance (step S406). For example, the effect control CPU 120 selects one of a plurality of special figure variation effect control patterns prepared corresponding to the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern designation command, the various effects determined in the processing of steps S402 to S405, and the like. Select it and set it as a usage pattern.

After executing the process of step S406, the initial value of the effect control process timer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 is set corresponding to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command, for example (step S407). Then, the setting for starting the variation of the decorative pattern or the like in the image display device 5 is performed (step S408). At this time, for example, by transmitting the display control command designated by the display control data included in the effect control pattern determined as the use pattern in step S406 to the VDP or the like of the display control unit 123, the image display device 5 The variation of the decorative design may be started in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the display screen.

Subsequent to the processing of step S408, in response to the start of variable display of the decorative pattern, the setting for updating the reserved memory display in the starting winning prize memory display area 5H is performed (step S409). For example, in the starting winning prize memory display area 5H, the display part corresponding to the holding number “1” may be deleted, and the entire display parts may be moved to the left one by one. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2" which is a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S410), and the variable display start setting processing is ended.

Next, a description will be given of an aspect of the character accessory effect. The character accessory production may be executed when the super reach is developed and when the big hit result is notified. Therefore, first, a character accessory effect when the super reach is developed will be described.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a flow of character accessory effects when super reach is developed. In the special figure game, as shown in FIG. 12A, the decorative patterns displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 are variably displayed. At this time, the first character accessory 61, the second character accessory 62, and the third character accessory 63 are respectively shown in FIG.

By displaying the button image 201 in this manner, the player is prompted to operate the push button 31B. Further, by displaying the effective period bar 202, the player is notified of the operation effective period in which the effect control board 12 accepts the operation of the push button 31B shown in FIG. In addition, by displaying the button image 201 and the first character image 211, it is suggested that the first character auditors product motion effect in which the first character auditors product 61 operates is executed, and the jackpot expectation becomes high. The player is made aware of the fact that he is present, and the expectation for a big hit is increased. It should be noted that the button image display determination process at the time of developing the super reach (step S502)
), If “no execution” has been determined, the button image 201 and the effective period bar 202 are displayed regardless of the determination content of the super-reach development character character effect determination processing (step S501). I don't know.

As shown in FIG. 12C-2, the button image 201 and the first character image 21 are displayed.
When 1 is displayed, the first character image 211 displays the mode in which the button image 201 is brought, but it may be displayed in another mode. For example, the button image 20
The first character image 211 may be simply displayed at the same time that 1 is displayed,
The button image 201 may be displayed, and the first character image 211 may be displayed after the effective period has passed for a while. Also, by providing a plurality of these display modes, various modes (
The pattern may be displayed.

After the effect shown in FIG. 12 (C-1) or (C-2), within the effective operation period, the effect control board 1

As shown in (D-1), the button image 201, the effective period bar 202, and further, the image in which the first character image 211 disappears after (C-2) in FIG. 12 is deleted from the image display device 5. The erased image 221 is displayed. Further, the first character accessory 61, the second character accessory 62, and the third character accessory 63 remain stopped.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (E-1), “Super reach!” Is displayed at the center of the image display device 5.
The decorative character "" is displayed. In this way, the player is made aware that the reach mode has evolved from the normal reach effect to the super reach effect. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (F), in the image display device 5, the super reach effect is executed.

In addition, after the effect shown in FIG. 12 (C-1) or (C-2), when the effect control board 12 receives the operation of the push button 31B within the operation effective period or when the operation effective period has elapsed, At the time of reach development character role material effect determination processing (step S501)
When the “first character” has been determined, as shown in FIG. 13D-2, the first character accessory 61 is moved from the first character accessory first position P11 to the first character auditor second position. P1
The first character auditors product motion effect that moves to 2 is executed. Further, in the image display device 5, if the button image 201 and the effective period bar 202 are deleted, and further, FIG. 12 (C-2) is displayed before the display of FIG. 13 (D-2), , The first character image 211 is erased, and the effect image 222 that makes the first character auditors object 61 stand out is displayed behind the first character auditors object second position P12. The effect image 222 corresponds to the first character accessory 61, and is displayed behind the first character accessory 61 to make the first character accessory 61 stand out.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13 (E-2), an operation is performed in which the first character accessory 61 moves from the first character auditor second position P12 to the first character auditor first position P11. Further, a decorative character “Super Reach!” Is displayed in the center of the image display device 5. As for the decoration character of “Super reach!”, The first character accessory 61 is the first character accessory first position P11.
The display may be started after being moved (retracted) to, or the display may be started while the first character accessory 61 is moving to the first character accessory first position P11. Alternatively, when the first character accessory 61 remains in the first character accessory second position P12, the display of the decorative character “Super Reach!” Is completed, and then the first character accessory 61 is completed.
May be moved to the first character accessory first position P11. In this way, the player is made aware that the reach mode has evolved from the normal reach effect to the super reach effect.
Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (F), in the image display device 5, the super reach effect is executed.

In addition, the "first character" is determined in the super-reach development character character effect production determination processing (step S501), and the super-reach development button image display determination processing (step S5).
In 02), "no execution" may be determined. In this case, the image display device 5 is shown in FIG.
The image in the normal reach state shown in B) is displayed. Then, in the image display device 5,
Without displaying the button image 201 and the controller image 203, as shown in FIG. 13D-2, the first character bonus object 61 moves from the first character bonus object first position P11 to the first character bonus object second. The first character auditors product action effect that moves to the position P12 is executed. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (E-2), an operation is performed in which the first character accessory 61 moves from the first character auditor second position P12 to the first character auditor first position P11. Further, a decorative character “Super Reach!” Is displayed in the center of the image display device 5. In this way, the player is made aware that the reach mode has evolved from the normal reach effect to the super reach effect.

Further, in the button image display determination process at the time of developing the super reach (step S502),
In the case where "there is a character" is determined and "the second character" is determined in the super-reach development character role product effect determination processing (step S501), the following is performed. First, as shown in FIG. 12B, the "7" symbol is stopped and displayed in the left decorative design display area 5L and the right decorative design display area 5R of the image display device 5, and the variable display state of the decorative design becomes the reach state. , "Reach!" Is displayed, and the normal reach effect is executed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 14C-3, the button image 201 and the effective period bar 202 are displayed in the center of the image display device 5, and the second character image 212 is displayed. At this time, the effective period bar 202 is displayed in red. Here, the second character image 212
The size of the button image 201 displayed is the same as the size of the button image 201 displayed together with the first character image 211, as shown in FIG. 12C-2.

In this way, by displaying the second character image 212, it is suggested that the second character auditors product action effect in which the second character auditors object 62 operates is executed, and the jackpot expectation is high. To make the players aware of the expectation for a big hit. Note that the jackpot expectation when the second character auditors action effect is executed is lower than the jackpot expectation when the first character auditors action effect is executed. Therefore, the expectation for the big hit is larger than that when the second character image 212 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (C-3).
As shown in FIG. 12C-2, the height is higher when the first character image 211 is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 14C-3 and 14C-4, when displaying the button image 201, the second character image 212, and the third character image 213, the second character image 212 is displayed.
Alternatively, although the third character image 213 is displayed in a mode of bringing the button image 201, it may be displayed in another mode. For example, at the same time that the button image 201 is displayed, the second character image 212 or the third character image 213 may be simply displayed, or the button image 201 may be displayed and the second character image may be displayed after a short period of validity. 212 or the third character image 213 may be displayed. Further, a plurality of these display modes may be provided and displayed in various modes (patterns).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 12C-2, 14C-3 and 14C, the first character image 211 to the third character image 213 are displayed side by side on the button image 201. May be displayed in other forms. For example, one of the first character image to the third character image may be drawn on the button image, or the button image itself may display one of the first character accessory 61 to the third character accessory 63. The image may be imitated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14D-3, the second character auditors object 62 moves from the second character auditors object first position P21 shown in FIG. 1 to the second character auditors object second position P22.
Execute the character accessory action effect. Further, in the image display device 5, the button image 20
1 and the effective period bar, and further, the second character image 212 is deleted, and an effect image 222 that makes the second character auditors object 62 stand out is displayed behind the second character auditors object second position P22. The effect image 222 corresponds to the second character accessory 62, and is displayed behind the second character accessory 62 to make the second character accessory 62 stand out.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (E-3), the movement of the second character auditors product 62 from the second character auditors product second position P22 to the second character auditors product first position P21 is performed. Further, a decorative character “Super Reach!” Is displayed in the center of the image display device 5. Thus
Let the player recognize that the reach mode has evolved from normal reach production to super reach production. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (F), in the image display device 5, the super reach effect is executed.

Further, in the button image display determination process at the time of developing the super reach (step S502),
In the case where "there is a character" is determined and "the third character" has been determined in the process for determining the character accessory effect during super reach development (step S501), the following is performed. First, as shown in FIG. 12B, the "7" symbol is stopped and displayed in the left decorative design display area 5L and the right decorative design display area 5R of the image display device 5, and the variable display state of the decorative design becomes the reach state. , "Reach!" Is displayed, and the normal reach effect is executed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 14C-4, the button image 201 and the effective period bar 202 are displayed in the center of the image display device 5, and the third character image 213 is displayed. Further, at this time, the effective period bar 202 is displayed in green. Here, the third character image 213
The size of the button image 201 displayed together with the button image 201 is, as shown in FIG.
The size is the same as that of the button image 201 displayed together with the character image 211.

In this way, by displaying the third character image 213, it is suggested that the third character auditors product action effect in which the third character auditors object 63 operates is executed, and the jackpot expectation is high. To make the player aware of this and increase the expectation for a big hit. The jackpot expectation when the third character auditors product action effect is executed is lower than the jackpot expectation when the second character auditors object action effect is executed. Therefore, the expectation for the big hit is higher than that when the third character image 213 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (C-4).
As shown in FIG. 14C-3, it becomes higher when the second character image 212 is displayed. Further, the expectation for the big hit is, as shown in FIG. 14 (C-4), as compared with the case where the third character image 213 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 12 (C-2), the first character image is displayed. It is higher when 211 is displayed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14D-4, the third character auditors object 63 moves from the third character auditors object first position P31 shown in FIG. 1 to the third character auditors object second position P32.
Execute the character accessory action effect. Further, in the image display device 5, the button image 20
1 and the effective period bar, and further, the third character image 213 is deleted, and an effect image 222 that highlights the third character auditors object 63 is displayed behind the third character auditors object second position P32. The effect image 222 corresponds to the third character accessory 63, and is displayed behind the third character accessory 63 to make the third character accessory 63 stand out.

Note that, as shown in FIGS. 13D-2, 14D-3, and D-4, the effect image 222 displayed behind the first character accessory 61 to the third character accessory 63 is , But they may be different images. For example, as the effect image, the first character accessory 6
An image of each character corresponding to the first to third character auditors objects 63 may be displayed, or an image of an item associated with each character may be displayed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (E-4), an operation is performed in which the third character auditors object 63 moves from the third character auditors object second position P32 to the third character auditors object first position P31. Further, a decorative character “Super Reach!” Is displayed in the center of the image display device 5. Thus
Let the player recognize that the reach mode has evolved from normal reach production to super reach production. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (F), in the image display device 5, the super reach effect is executed.

Next, the character accessory effect when the big hit result is notified will be described. 15 and 16 are diagrams for explaining the flow of the character accessory effect when the big hit result is notified.
When the super reach effect proceeds and enters the final stage, as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, for example, a jackpot result notification image display determination process (step S503) shown in FIG.
In the case where the "button image" is determined, the button image 201 and the effective period bar 202 are displayed in the center of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 15 (B-1). In addition, when the "controller image" is determined in the jackpot result notification image display determination process (step S503), the controller image is displayed in the center of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 15B-2. 203 and the effective period bar 202 are displayed.

Further, after the effect shown in FIG. 15 (B-1), when the effect control board 12 receives the operation of the push button 31B within the operation effective period or when the operation effective period elapses, the effect control CPU 120 causes the effect control CPU 120 shown in FIG. As shown in (C), the first character auditors product 61 is caused to move from the first character auditors product first position P11 to the first character auditors product second position P12. At the same time as this operation, the CPU 120 for effect control causes the second character role object 62 and the third character role object 63 to move from the second character role object first position P21 and the third character role object first position P31 to the second character role, respectively. A second character auditors product motion effect and a third character auditors product motion effect that move to the object second position P22 and the third character auditors product second position P32 are performed. In addition, in the image display device 5, the button image 201 and the effective period bar 202 are deleted, and the first character combination is behind the first character combination second position P12 to the third character combination second position P32. Object 61 to third character accessory 6
An effect image 222 that highlights 3 is displayed.

After the first character auditors product motion effect, the second character auditors product motion effect, and the third character auditors product motion effect are executed, the first character auditors product second position P12, the second character auditors product second
At the position P22 and the third character accessory second position P32, the first character accessory 61
-First character accessory rotation effect in which the third character accessory 63 rotates (spins) -Third character accessory effect is executed. In this way, by performing the first character accessory effect rotation effect to the third character accessory effect rotation effect, the expectation for a big hit is further enhanced.

Subsequently, one of the effects shown in FIGS. 15D-1 and 16D-2 is executed. Note that FIGS. 16A to 16C show the same steps as FIGS. 15A to 15C. In both of FIGS. 15D-1 and 16D-2, the first character auditors product 61 to the third character auditors member 63 stop rotating, and the first character auditors product rotation effect to the third character auditors. After the object rotation effect is completed, the first character accessory 61 is moved to the first character accessory second position P12.
The first character bonus product action effect of moving from the first character bonus product to the first position P11 is executed. Further, the second character accessory 62 and the third character accessory 63 are respectively the second character auditor second position P22 and the third character auditor second position P32 to the second character auditor first position P21 and the third character auditorium. The second character auditors product motion effect and the third character auditors product motion effect that move to the character character product first position P31 are executed.

Then, for example, the jackpot result notification image display determination process (step S503) shown in FIG.
), When the decision is made based on the variation pattern PA3-3, FIG.
), The decorative character "WIN" is displayed together with the first character image 211. After that, as shown in FIG. 15 (E-1), the jackpot combination in which the same decorative pattern "7" is arranged is stopped and displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. In this way, the fixed decorative pattern which is a combination of big hits is derived and displayed on the image display device 5.

Further, for example, in the case of the jackpot result notification image display determination process (step S503) shown in FIG. 10, when the determination is based on the variation pattern PA2-3, as shown in FIG. A decorative character "LOSE" is displayed together with the character image 224. After that, as shown in FIG. 16 (E-2), "" is displayed in each of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R.
Different decorative designs of 7 ", 6", and 7 "are stopped and displayed together. In this way, the fixed decorative design which is a combination of the outlier design which is a combination other than the big hit combination is derived and displayed on the image display device 5.

When the variable display result is “big hit”, as shown in FIGS. 15C and 16C, the first to third character auditors product action effects are executed, and FIG. 15D- As shown in 1), when the decoration character of "WIN" is displayed together with the first character image 211 and the variable display result is "miss", the first to third character auditors product action effects May not be performed. When the variable display result is “miss”, the first character accessory 61 to
The third character auditors object 63 may not move, or instead of the first to third character auditors object motion effects shown in FIG. 15C and FIG. As the effect only for the loss here, the effect control board 12 pushes the push button 31B within the operation valid period.
When the operation is accepted or when the operation valid period has elapsed, the first character accessory 61 to the third character accessory 63 are respectively in the first character accessory first position P11 to the third character accessory first position P31. An operation may be performed in which the character moves slightly, but does not move from the first character accessory second position P12 to the third character auditor second position P32.

In addition, an image including a decorative character “WIN!” Shown in FIG. 15D-1 and FIG. 16D-2
In the image including the decorative character “LOSE!” Shown in FIG. 1, the first character accessory 61 to the third character accessory 63 move to the first character accessory first position P11 to the third character accessory first position P31, respectively. The display may be started after the evacuation (evacuation), and the first character accessory 61 to the third character auditor 63 are respectively in the first character auditor first position P11 to the third character auditor first position P31. The display may be started while moving to. Alternatively, the first
The character character object 61 to the third character character object 63 are respectively the first character character object second position P.
"WIN!" Or "While staying at the 12th to 3rd character accessory second position P32"
LOSE! The display of the image including “” is completed, and then the first character accessory first position P11 is displayed.
~ You may make it move to the 3rd character accessory first position P31.

As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, the first character auditors product motion effect for operating the first character auditors product 61 and the second character auditors product motion effect are different from each other. It is possible to execute the second character auditors product motion effect that causes the character auditors product 62 to operate. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12C-2, the first character accessory action effect suggestion
The effect in which the character image 211 is displayed and the effect in which the second character image 212 that indicates the second character auditors product action effect is displayed can be executed, as shown in FIG. 14C-3. For this reason, since a suggestion that a specific effect is performed is executed, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the execution of the effect and improve the interest.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, in addition to the first character role product action effect for operating the first character role object 61 and the second character role object action effect for operating the second character role object 62, the third character It is possible to execute a third character auditors product action effect that causes the accessory 63 to operate. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14 (C-4), an effect in which the third character image 213 suggesting the third character accessory action effect is displayed can be executed. For this reason, when the production is diversified, a suggestion that the production is performed is also executed for the diversified production, here, the third character auditors product action production, so that an expectation for the execution of the production is obtained. You can increase your interest and improve your interest.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, the first character auditors product 61 is capable of executing the first character auditors product motion effect and the first character auditors product rotation effect different from the first character auditors product motion effect. There is. Furthermore, when the first character auditors product motion effect is executed, the first character image 211 can be executed. Therefore, by displaying the first character image 211, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the first character auditors product action effect, and to improve the interest. Furthermore, when the first character image 211 is displayed, the first character auditors product motion effect and the first character auditors object rotation effect can also be executed. Therefore, when the first character image 211 is displayed, in addition to the expectation for the execution of the first character auditors product action effect, the expectation for the execution of the first character auditors object effect effect can be provided. Therefore, the interest can be further improved.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, the push sensor 35B and the controller sensor unit 35A can detect a player's operation on the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, and the display of the button image 201 or the controller image 203 is a push operation. This is a display for prompting the player to operate the button 31B and the stick controller 31A. Therefore, the operating means to be operated can be taught to the player, which can contribute to an increase in interest. 15 (B-1) and (C-1) in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above.
), The button image 201 or the controller image 203 is the first character image 211.
The first character image 211, the second character image 212, and the like may be displayed. Further, the controller image 203 may be displayed at a timing other than the big hit result notification, for example, when the super reach is developed. In addition, when the operation means corresponding to the displayed image is operated, the detection means may detect the operation, or when the operation means other than the operation means corresponding to the displayed image is operated. Alternatively, the detecting means may detect the operation. For example, when the button image 201 is displayed, the push sensor 35B causes the push button 31
Although the operation of B is detected, the controller sensor unit 35A does not have to detect the operation of the stick controller 31A, and when the button image 201 is displayed, the push sensor 35B detects the operation of the push button 31B, Controller sensor unit 35A
May detect the operation of the stick controller 31A.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the second character image 212 and the third character image 213 are not displayed before the first character auditors product motion effect is executed. Therefore, each character auditors product motion effect and each character image have a one-to-one correspondence relationship, and it is difficult for the effect to be performed to be confused. People can concentrate and entertain the production. Therefore, interest can be improved.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, an effective period bar 202 indicating an operation effective plan in which the effect control board 12 receives the operation of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A is displayed, and the effective period bar 202 is the first character. It is different when displayed together with the image 211 and when the second character image 212 is displayed. Specifically,
The valid period bar 202 is displayed in green when displayed together with the first character image 211, and is displayed in red when displayed together with the second character image 212. For this reason, it is possible to focus on the effective period bar 202 as well, so that interest can be improved.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, the first character role object motion effect related to the first character among the plurality of characters of the first character to the third character, and the second character role object related to the second character. It is possible to execute motion production. Further, when the first character auditors product action effect is executed, the first character image 211 related to the first character is displayed, and when the second character auditors action operation effect is executed, the second character image 211 is displayed. The second character image 212 related to is displayed. For this reason, since an effect using a plurality of characters can be executed, it is possible to improve the interest. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, three characters, the first character to the third character, are used, but a fourth character, a fifth character, etc. may be provided and four or more characters may be used. .

In the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, the image in the normal reach state shown in FIG. 12B is displayed on the image display device 5, and subsequently, even if the button image 201 or the controller image 203 is not displayed, As shown in (D-2), a first character auditors product action effect for operating the first character auditors product 61 may be executed. Therefore, even if the button image 201 and the controller image 203 are not displayed, it is possible to maintain the expectation for the character role object motion effect. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game production.

Note that, for example, the jackpot expectation degree when the first character auditors product action effect to the third character auditors object effect are executed may be increased in the following order (big hit expectation degree: 1.> 2.
> 3. > 4. > 5. > 6. ).
1. 1. The first character auditors product motion effect after the character image and the button image are displayed. 2. The first character auditors product motion effect after only the button image is displayed. 3. The second character auditors product motion effect after the character image and the button image are displayed. 4. The second character auditors product motion effect after only the button image is displayed 5. The third character auditors product motion effect after the character image and the button image are displayed. 3rd character accessory action operation after only the button image is displayed

Further, in the above example, when the third character auditors product action effect is executed, the jackpot expectation is lower than when the first character auditors product effect or the second character auditors product effect is executed. There is a concern that the attention of people will be lowered. Therefore, when the third character image is displayed, an effect different from the first character auditors product motion effect and the second character auditors product motion effect may be executed in the third character auditors product motion effect. Alternatively, when the third character image is displayed, subsequent button operations may cause the character character product effect in which all of the first character character product 61 to the third character character product 63 operate.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible.
For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-mentioned embodiment, and it is possible to solve at least one problem in the related art, and the part described in the above-mentioned embodiment It may be provided with the structure of.

(Modification 1) In the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, neither the button image 201 nor the controller image 203 is displayed at the time of the super reach development or the big hit result notification, but at the time of the super reach development or the big hit result notification. In the above, both the button image 201 and the controller image 203 may be displayed at different times. For example, when the effect control board 12 receives the operation of the stick controller 31A, the button image 201 is displayed during the non-effective period before the operation of the stick controller 31A is received, and then when the effective period is started. The controller image 203 may be displayed. At this time, after the button image 201 is displayed, the button image 201
The controller image 203 may be changed.

When changing the button image 201 to the controller image 203, the effective period bar 202 is not displayed while the button image 201 is being displayed, but the effective period bar 202 is displayed after the controller image 203 is displayed. You may do so. Further, when the button image 201 is displayed during the non-effective period, the button image 201 is displayed as a dedicated display during the non-effective period, but an image representing the non-effective period is displayed. Good. For example, a restriction line may be displayed on the button image 201 to indicate that the push button operation is not valid.

Further, the effect control board 12 may receive an operation of either the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A after the ineffective period. In this case, after the button image 201 is displayed during the ineffective period, when the operation of the push button 31B is accepted when the effective period comes, the button image 201 is continuously displayed and the stick controller 31A is operated. When accepting, the button image 201 may be displayed by changing the controller image 203. In this case, there is a possibility that the state where the operation of the push button 31B is accepted is changed to the state where the operation of the stick controller 31A is accepted, so that it is possible to maintain the player's feeling of expectation that the jackpot expectation is increased.
Therefore, interest can be improved.

In the process of changing the button image 201 to the controller image 203, the button image 2
You may make it the action image which acts on 01, and change the button image 201 and the controller image 203 in steps. For example, in the first stage, the color of the button image 201 changes from white to red (“button (white)” → “button (red)”), and in the second stage, the button image 201 changes to a large size (“button ( Red) → "button (large)"), controller image 2 in the 3rd stage
It may be changed to 03 (“button (red)” → “controller”). Alternatively,
The same change is performed up to the third stage, and the controller image 20 in which the button image is small is displayed in the third stage.
3 (“button (red)” → “controller (small)”), and the controller image 203 changes to a normal size in the subsequent fourth stage (“controller (small)” → “controller”)
You may do it. Such a gradual change is performed in the button image 201, in the controller image 203, or in the button image 201 and the controller image 203.
It may be performed in and. Further, in performing the action effect, a pattern in which the button image 201 changes to the controller image 203 and a pattern in which the controller image 203 does not change in the process of gradually changing the button image 201 and returns to the button image 201 are executed. It may be possible. Alternatively, the button image 201 and the controller image 203
Alternatively, and may be displayed lightly and alternately to encourage the change to the controller image 203. When a stepwise change is made in the controller image 203 after the change from the button image 201, the step before the change to the final form of the controller image 203, for example, the above-mentioned “controller (small)” is performed. At the stage, there may be a change mode in which the controller image 203 does not change and the button image 201 returns, or “controller (small)”.
After reaching the stage, the process may proceed to the "controller" stage. In this case, the change of the button image 201 to the controller image 203 can be interesting.

(Modification 2) Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the character accessory effect, the character accessory is allowed to move between the character accessory first position and the character accessory second position. It may be possible to set an operation position of the character accessory third position or more and to be movable between three or more positions. Further, as the character accessory effect, only the character accessory motion effect and the character accessory rotation effect are set, but effects of other modes may be provided. For example, an effect of tilting, swinging, enlarging, deforming, or the like of the character accessory may be provided. Further, a plurality of characters may be integrated to form different characters. Further, the specific effect may use a motif other than the character. For example, a production using a gimmick imitating a plate or a rock on which characters are written may be used. Also, the character accessory rotation effect is executed at the character accessory second position, but the character accessory second rotation is performed.
It may be executed at a position other than the position, for example, at the character accessory first position.

(Modification 3) Further, in the above-described embodiment, there is no so-called big hit determination effect which is executed when a big hit is made in the special figure game, and any special effect is executed. There is a possibility that the result of the game will be off, but a so-called big hit confirmation effect may be provided. For example, in the special drawing game in which the first character auditors product rotation effect is the big hit finalization effect, the big character may always be a big hit.
In addition, when a predetermined condition is met, a big hit confirmation effect may be set. For example, during the development of super reach, the jackpot confirmation effect may be obtained when the first character auditors product action effect is executed after the first character image 211 is displayed.

(Variation 4) Further, in the above-described embodiment, there is a case where the character accessory effect is developed into the super reach without being executed. However, when the character reach is developed, the character accessory effect is always produced. It may be executed. In addition, in the case of developing into super reach, the character accessory effect is basically executed, but in the case where the effect of developing into super reach is executed without executing the character accessory effect, the special character The big hit finalized effect may be a big hit in the game and an effect that develops into a super reach without executing the character accessory effect. Also, if the character accessory production is executed at the end of normal reach (when the super reach is developed), it will surely develop to super reach, but do not shift to super reach even if the character accessory production is executed at the end of normal reach. You can At this time, when the character reach effect production is advanced to super reach without being executed, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the character role effect effect is executed and developed to super reach. , It may be lower. In addition, in the character character product rendering during the development of super reach, in the same character character product rendering, the higher the determination rate at the time of a big hit (variation pattern PA3-3 o'clock), the more lost (the variation pattern PA).
Although the determination rate of 2-3 o'clock) is low, other modes may be used. For example, the higher the determination rate at the time of big hit (variation pattern PA3-3 o'clock), the more lost (at fluctuation pattern PA2-3 o'clock).
May be increased, or the determination rate at the time of losing (variation pattern PA2-3 o'clock) may be constant regardless of the determination rate at the time of big hit (variation pattern PA3-3 o'clock).

(Modification 5) In the above embodiment, the ratio of the button image 201 being displayed and the operation of the push button 31B being accepted when the super reach is developed and when the jackpot result is notified is determined by the type of character accessory effect. It is constant regardless of the number, but may be different depending on the type of character auditory product effect. For example, when the first character auditors product action effect is executed, the ratio of displaying the button image 201 and accepting the operation of the push button 31B is higher than when the second character auditors object action effect is executed. You can Similarly, the reception of the operation of the controller image 203 and the stick controller 31A may be different depending on the type of the character accessory effect.

(Modification 6) Further, in the above-described embodiment, the character image displayed on the image display device 5 and the character accessory effect executed are the same characters, but the characters do not match. There may be some. For example, the second character image 212 and the third character image 213 may be displayed before an effect such as the first character auditors product motion effect that the first character auditors product 61 operates is executed. In this case, it is possible to give a surprise to the player, and it is possible to improve the interest that is different from the case where the first character image 211 is displayed. Further, when the character image displayed on the image display device 5 and the character accessory effect to be executed do not match each other, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the characters match each other. , It may be lower. Further, depending on the relationship between the character image displayed on the image display device 5 and the character effect effect to be executed, the jackpot final effect may be achieved. For example, the effect in which the second character auditors product action effect is executed after the third character image is displayed may be the jackpot confirmed effect.

(Modification 7) Further, in the above embodiment, the display mode of the button image 201 and the controller image 203 is constant, but the button image 201 and the controller image 203 may be displayed in different modes. .. For example, as the button image, a button image larger than the normal button image 201 shown in FIG. 12 or the like, or a character different from “CHANCE”, for example, “” may be displayed. By displaying such a button image, the jackpot expectation level may change, and may be increased, for example.

(Variation 8) Further, when the button image 201 is displayed on the controller image 203, a sound may be emitted or characters for explanation may be displayed. For example, when the button image 201 is displayed, a voice prompting the operation of the push button 31B such as “press” and “press the button” may be emitted. In this case, for example, the first character image 211 and the second character image 2
When 12 is displayed, the voice of the first character or the second character may be emitted. In addition, voices of different characters and other voices may be generated. Further, the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the presence / absence of voice, for example, the jackpot expectation may be higher in the presence of voice than in the absence of voice.

(Modification 9) In the above embodiment, the character accessory effect may not be executed even when the button image 201 is displayed, but when the button image 201 and the controller image 203 are displayed, The character accessory effect may be executed without fail. In addition, although the character character product effect may be executed even when the button image 201 or the controller image 203 is not displayed, the character character product effect is not executed when the button image 201 or the controller image 203 is not displayed. You may.

(Modification 10) In the above embodiment, when the button image 201 is displayed at the end of the normal reach (at the time of developing the super reach), the button image 201 is always expanded to the super reach, but at the end of the normal reach. Even if the button image 201 is displayed, it may not be developed into super reach. Alternatively, at the end of the normal reach, the button image 20
When 1 and the character image are displayed, the super reach is surely developed, but the button image 201 alone may not be developed to the super reach. Further, when the character accessory effect is executed without the button image 201 being displayed, even if the jackpot expectation is higher than when the button image 201 is displayed and the character accessory effect is executed. Good or low. Further, when the character accessory effect is not executed, the button image 201 without the character image may be displayed without fail.
For example, when a button operation effect other than the development to the character accessory effect is performed, a button image 201 without a character image is displayed, or a so-called effect effect in which the accessory effect is not executed by the operation of the push button 31B. It is possible to perform, and when the gall effect is executed, the button image 201 without the character image may be displayed without fail.

(Modification 11) In the above embodiment, the character accessory effect may not be executed even when the character image is displayed. However, when the character image is displayed, the character accessory effect is not performed. It may be executed without fail. Further, when the super reach is developed, the button image 201 may be displayed, but the controller image may be displayed so that the operation of the stick controller can be accepted. Further, the character accessory rotation effect is executed only when the big hit result is notified, but may be executed when the super reach is developed. Further, the character character product rotation effect is executed by all of the first character character product 61 to the third character character product 63, but only a part thereof may be executed. Also,
The jackpot expectation level may be changed depending on the number and types of the character character effects for which the character character effect production is executed.

(Modification 12) In addition, in the above-described embodiment, as the character images, one set of the first character image 211 to the third character is set for each of the first character to the third character.
Although the character image 213 is provided, a plurality of character images may be provided for a part or all of each character. In this case, the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the displayed character image, or the execution rate of the character accessory effect may be different. For example, when the first character image A and the first character image B are provided as the first character image, when the first character image A is displayed, it is a big hit than when the first character image B is displayed. The degree of expectation may be increased.
Alternatively, when the first character image A is displayed, the ratio at which the character accessory effect is executed may be higher than when the first character image B is displayed. Alternatively, when a plurality of character accessory effects with different jackpot expectations are provided, when the first character image A is displayed, the character having a jackpot expectation higher than when the first character image B is displayed. You may make it a high ratio that a character effect is performed. Furthermore, it can be executed only when the first character image A is displayed, and the first character image B
There may be provided a character accessory effect which is not executed when is displayed, and which has a particularly high expectation of a big hit.

(Modification 13) In the above embodiment, the controller image 203 is not displayed when the controller image 203 is displayed at the time of notifying the big hit result, but the controller image 2 is displayed.
You may make it display a character image with 03. Further, when displaying the character image, any one of the first character image 211 to the third character image 213 is displayed, but a plurality of the first character image 211 to the third character image 213 are displayed. You may make it display a character image.

(Modification 14) When displaying a button image 201 or a controller image 203, when displaying a character image, the jackpot expectation may be changed depending on the type of the displayed character image. Also, the jackpot expectation may be changed by a combination of the character image and the button image 201 or the controller image 203. For example, when the second character image 212 and the button image 201 are displayed, the jackpot expectation is lower than when the second character image 212 and the controller image 203 are displayed, but the third character image 213 and the button image are displayed. When 201 is displayed, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the third character image 213 and the controller image 203 are displayed.

(Modification 15) Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effective period bar 202 is displayed in a different mode depending on the type of character image displayed at the same time, but it may be displayed in a similar mode. Further, some character images have the same aspect, but other character images may have different aspects. Further, the display mode of the validity period bar may be different from that of changing the color. For example, the validity period bar may be given a different pattern, or the size of the validity period bar may be changed. Specifically, the effective period bar 202 displayed together with the first character image 211 has a floral pattern, whereas the effective period bar 202 displayed together with the second character image 212 has a lattice pattern, or The effective period bar 202 displayed together with the character image 211 may be larger than the effective period bar 202 displayed together with the second character image 212.
Furthermore, the display position may be different, or the display direction may be changed. For example, the effective period bar 202 displayed with the first character image 211 is displayed below the image display device 5, while the effective period bar 202 displayed with the second character image 212 is displayed with the image display device 5. The effective period bar 202 displayed in the upper direction or displayed together with the first character image 211 is displayed vertically, whereas the effective period bar 202 displayed together with the second character image 212 is displayed horizontally. It may be displayed. Alternatively, these may be combined. For example, the effective period bar 202 displayed together with the first character image 211 has a lattice pattern and is displayed vertically, whereas the effective period bar 202 displayed together with the second character image 212 has a floral pattern. There may be, and may be displayed sideways.

(Modification 16) In the above embodiment, the display mode of the effective period bar 202 is constant according to the character image, but the same character image may have different display modes. In this case, the big hit expectation degree may be changed depending on the display mode of the effective period bar 202. For example, when the first character image 211 is displayed, the jackpot expectation may be higher when the effective period bar 202 is displayed in red rather than green. Further, the jackpot expectation may be changed depending on the display mode of the character image and the effective period bar 202. For example, when the first character image 211 is displayed, the big hit expectation is higher when the effective period bar 202 is displayed in red than in green, but the second character image 212 is displayed. In this case, the big hit expectancy may be lower when the effective period bar 202 is displayed in red than in green.

(Modification 17) Further, the pachinko gaming machine may have a so-called customization function. The customization function here may be, for example, a function of selecting a character to be the main character when the variable display game is executed. Such a customization function may be provided so that when the player selects the first character as the main character, the first character auditors product effect may be easily executed. Alternatively, the jackpot expectation may be increased when an effect in which the first character appears or the first character accessory works is executed. Alternatively, the first character image may be easily displayed together with the second character image and the third character image. In addition, when the voice of the character is emitted, the voice of the first character may be easily emitted.

(Variation 18) In the above-described embodiment, when variable display is started in order to notify the effect control CPU 120 of a variable display time of a decorative pattern and a variable pattern indicating a variable display mode such as a type of reach effect. An example of sending one variation pattern designation command was shown in
The variation pattern may be notified to the effect control CPU 120 by two or more commands. Specifically, in the case of notifying by two commands, in the game control microcomputer 100, as the first command, the presence or absence of a variable display effect such as “slip” or “pseudo-relation” can be changed before reaching. A command indicating the display time and the variable display mode is transmitted, and as the second command, a command indicating the variable display time and the variable display mode after reaching the reach, such as the type of reach and the presence / absence of re-lottery effect, is transmitted. You may do it. In this case, the effect control CPU 120 may perform effect control in the variable display based on the variable display time derived from the two commands. The game control microcomputer 1
For 00, the variable display time may be notified by each of two commands, and the specific variable display mode executed at each timing may be selected by the effect control CPU 120. When sending two commands, the two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, or the second command is sent after a predetermined time has elapsed after the first command was sent. You may do so. In addition, the variable display mode indicated by each command is not limited to this example, and the transmission order can be changed as appropriate. In this way, by notifying the variation pattern by using two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data to be stored and prepared in advance as the variation pattern designation command.

(Modification 19) The present invention can be applied not only to the pachinko gaming machine 1 but also to a slot machine or the like. The slot machine is, for example, an arbitrary gaming machine that performs a predetermined game such as a variable display of symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information, and can give a predetermined game value based on the game result, and more specifically, By setting a predetermined number of bets for one game, the game can be started, and the display result of the variable display device that variably displays a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified is derived and displayed. This is a game machine in which one game is completed and a prize can be generated according to the display result. In such a slot machine, the hardware resources including the image display device of the slot machine and the software for performing a predetermined process cooperate with each other, so that the pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in the above embodiment has the characteristics. It may be configured to include all or a part of the above.

The slot machine is not limited to one in which the number of bets is set by using medals and credits as the gaming value, and only a slot machine in which the number of bets is set by using the gaming balls as the gaming value, or only credits as the gaming value. It may be a fully-credit type slot machine in which the bet amount is set using. When using a game ball as a game medium, for example, one medal can be made to correspond to five game balls. For example, when 3 is set as the number of bets, the number of bets using 15 game balls is used. Is equivalent to the one that sets. The pachinko gaming machine 1 and the slot machine are not limited to those that use only one of a plurality of types of gaming values such as medals and gaming balls. For example, a plurality of types such as medals and gaming balls may be used. It may be one that can be used together with the gaming value. For example, a slot machine can set a bet number and play a game using any of a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls, and when a prize is won, a game such as medals and game balls is generated. Any of a plurality of types of gaming value may be paid out.

As effects that can be executed in such a slot machine, character accessory effects (character accessory action effects and character accessory rotation effects) in the above-described embodiment, and button images and controller images are displayed to operate push buttons, stick controllers, and the like. It suffices if a promotion display or the like for promoting is included.

(Modification 20) In addition, the device configuration and data configuration of the gaming machine, the process shown in the flowchart, the image display operation in the image display device for executing the predetermined effect such as the notice effect, the voice output operation in the speaker, and the like. The various effect operations including the lighting operation of the game effect lamp and the decorative LED can be arbitrarily changed and modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In addition, the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to a pay-out type gaming machine that pays out a predetermined number of game media as a prize based on the occurrence of a prize, and encloses a game ball to generate a prize ball. It can also be applied to an enclosed game machine that gives points.

(Modification 21) The program and data for implementing the present invention are distributed and provided to a computer device or the like included in a gaming machine, such as a pachinko gaming machine 1 or a slot machine, by a removable recording medium. The present invention is not limited to the form, and may be distributed by being pre-installed in a storage device included in a computer device or the like in advance. Further, the program and data for implementing the present invention may be distributed by being downloaded from another device on a network connected via a communication line or the like by providing a communication processing unit. It doesn't matter.

(Modification 22) Then, the game execution mode is not only executed by mounting a removable recording medium, but also the program and data downloaded via a communication line or the like are temporarily stored in an internal memory or the like. Therefore, the execution may be performed, or the execution may be performed directly by using the hardware resources of the other device on the network connected via the communication line or the like. Further, the game may be executed by exchanging data with another computer device or the like via a network.

(Modification 23) In the above-mentioned embodiment, "different ratio" means A: B = 70%:
30% or A: B = 30%: 70%, not limited to those having different ratios, but A: B
= 100%: 0%, which is a concept that includes different ratios.

(Modification 24) In the above-described embodiment, for example, a plurality of types of special symbols or decorative symbols “1” to “8” are variably displayed and the display result is derived and displayed. It is not limited to such an aspect. For example, the variably displayed symbol does not necessarily have to be the same as the derivatized displayed symbol, and a symbol different from the variably displayed symbol may be derivatized and displayed. Further, it is not always necessary to variably display a plurality of types of symbols, and the variable display may be performed using only one type of symbol. In this case, for example, the variable display may be performed by alternately turning on and blinking the one type of symbol display. And, even in this case, one type of symbol used for the variable display may be finally displayed and displayed, or a symbol different from the one type of symbol may be finally displayed and displayed. It may be one.

(Modification 25) In the above embodiment, the random numbers may not be synchronized by changing the update timing of each random number or the update range of each random number.

(Modification 26) In the above embodiment, a random number determination table is stored in the main substrate 11, and the main substrate 11 determines the random value based on the random number extracted on the main substrate 11 at the time of winning the start prize. Example in which the determination table of the random number value is executed by referring to the use table, the effect control board 12 receives the determination result determined by the main board 11, and executes the prefetching announcement effect based on the received determination result. Although shown, the execution mode of the prefetching notice effect is not limited to this. For example, the effect control board 12 stores the random number determination table, and the effect control board 12 receives the random value itself extracted from the main board 11 from the main board 11, and based on the received random value. Alternatively, the random number determination process may be executed with reference to the random number determination table, and the prefetching notice effect may be executed based on the determination result of the determination process. That is, the random number value determination process may be performed in the effect control board 12. Also, the random number determination process is performed by the main board 11 and the effect control board 1.
You may do both. For example, the effect control board 12 may receive a part of the random number values and perform the random number value determination process, and may also receive the determination result determined by the main board 11. Specifically, for example, the effect control board 12 receives a random number value to determine whether or not to be a big hit and, if it is a big hit, to determine the type of a big hit, and the main board 11 based on the random number value. You may make it receive the determination result of the fluctuation pattern type determined by. That is, the effect control board 12 can execute the pre-reading notice effect based on the determination result determined by itself and the determination result determined by the main board 11.

(Modification 27) In the above-described embodiment, the effect control board 12 causes an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 so that the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. It has been described as occurring. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an interrupt for receiving the effect control command may be generated by an interrupt request by the first bit of serial communication, for example.
