  Modes for carrying out a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on Examples.

  First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1, which is an example of a gaming machine, will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 as viewed from the front. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a circuit configuration example of the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the following description, the front side of FIG. 1 will be described as the front (front side, front side) side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the back side will be described as the rear side (back side). The front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment is a facing surface that faces the player when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the player side. In the description of each step of the flowchart in the present embodiment, for example, a portion described as "step S1" may be abbreviated as "S1".

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment, showing a layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine 1 (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as a gaming machine) is roughly classified into a gaming board 2 (gauge board) that constitutes a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame 3 (an underframe) that supports and fixes the gaming board 2. ) And is composed of. In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails is formed. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is shot from a predetermined ball hitting launching device and driven into it.

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the right side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1), a first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are each composed of, for example, 7-segment or dot-matrix LED (light emitting diode), etc., and are identified in a special symbol game that is an example of a variable display game. Special symbols (also referred to as “special symbols”) that are possible plural types of identification information (special identification information) are variably displayed (also referred to as variable display or variable display). For example, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B each variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-". To do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-". However, for example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns with different combinations of what is turned on and what is turned off in the 7-segment LED may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols.

  Symbol numbers corresponding to each of the plurality of types of special symbols are attached. As an example, each of the numbers indicating “0” to “9” is assigned a symbol number of “0” to “9”, and the symbol indicating “−” is assigned a symbol number of “10”. Just do it. In the following, the special symbols that are variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also referred to as "first special symbols", and the special symbols that are variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also referred to as "second special symbols". . In addition, in the present embodiment, the special pattern is exemplified as a plurality of types of identification information capable of identifying each of characters and symbols, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, The pattern may be a combination of a plurality of dot displays that is difficult to identify without a certain law, or may be indistinguishable.

  Both the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are formed, for example, in a rectangular shape. The type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same (for example, the numbers indicating "0" to "9" and the symbol indicating "-"), or the types may be different. May be different. Further, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B may be respectively configured to variably display numbers (or two-digit symbols) indicating "00" to "99", for example. ..

  An effect display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The effect display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, corresponding to the variable display of the first special symbol by the first special symbol indicator 4A and the variable display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol indicator 4B in the special symbol game, respectively. In the effect symbol display area, which is a plurality of variable display portions such as three, effect symbols, which are a plurality of types of identification information (decorative identification information) capable of identifying each, are variably displayed. The variable display of the effect design is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the effect display device 5, "left", "middle", and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R are arranged. Then, in the special figure game, in response to either one of the fluctuation of the first special figure on the first special symbol display 4A and the second special figure on the second special symbol display 4B being started, The variation (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction) of the effect symbol (also referred to as a decorative symbol) is started in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". After that, when the fixed special symbol is stopped and displayed as the variable display result in the special figure game, in each effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" in the effect display device 5. The finalized production design (final stop design), which is the variable display result of the production design, is stopped and displayed.

  Thus, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the special drawing game using the first special drawing on the first special symbol display 4A, or the special special drawing using the second special drawing on the second special symbol display 4B. In synchronism with the drawing game, a plurality of types of distinguishable effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner, and a fixed effect symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). Note that, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols is to end the variable display by performing stop display (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) of identification information such as effect symbols. .. On the other hand, during the variable display from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol to the derivation display of the fixed effect symbol which is the variable display result, the variation speed of the effect symbol becomes “0”, and the effect The design may be displayed in a stopped state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion/contraction. Such a display state is also called a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not definitely displayed, the player can recognize that the variation of the effect symbol due to the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. Becomes Note that the temporary stop display may include displaying the effect symbol completely in a stopped state for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing a slight shake or expansion/contraction.

  "Left", "middle", "right" in each effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R, the effect symbols that are variably displayed include, for example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters "1" to "8" or Chinese characters). It may be a number, an English character, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, a combination of numbers, characters or symbols and a character image, and the character image may be, for example, a person, an animal, an object other than these, or , A symbol such as a character, or a decorative image showing any other figure). A corresponding design number is attached to each of the effect symbols. For example, the symbol numbers “1” to “8” are assigned to the alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. It should be noted that the effect symbols are not limited to eight types, and may be of any type as long as an appropriate number of combinations such as a combination of “big hit” and a combination of “off” can be configured (for example, 7 types or 9 types).

  After the variable display of the effect symbols is started, by the time the definite effect symbols that are the variable display results are derived and displayed, the "left", "middle", and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. In, for example, scroll display is performed such that the symbol numbers flow from the upper to the lower one in order from the smallest symbol number to the largest symbol number, and when the effect symbol having the largest symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed, The design symbol having the smallest symbol number (for example, "1") is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, the "left" effect symbol display area 5L, etc.), scroll display is performed from a symbol number that is large to a symbol number that is small, When the effect symbol with the smallest number is displayed, the effect symbol with the highest symbol number may be displayed subsequently.

  A first hold storage display area 5D and a second hold storage display area 5U are set at two places on the left and right below the display area of the effect display device 5. In the first pending storage display area 5D and the second pending storage display area 5U, a pending storage display is displayed that allows the number of pending storages of the variable display corresponding to the special figure game (special figure pending storage number) to be specified.

  Here, in order to suspend the variable display corresponding to the special drawing game, the game ball passes through the first starting winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball device 6B. It is generated based on the start winning a prize by entering. That is, the starting condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing the variable display game such as the special figure game and the variable display of the effect symbol is established, but the variable display game based on the previously established start condition is being executed. When the start condition that allows the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the jackpot gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done. In the present embodiment, the reserved memory display generated based on the start winning due to the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening is a round white display, and the gaming ball passing through the second starting winning opening ( The reserved memory display generated based on the start winning by the entry is similarly made into a round white display.

  In the following description, the first reserved storage display area 5D and the second reserved storage display area 5U may be referred to as reserved display areas, and the number of reserved memories is the first reserved storage display area 5D and the second reserved storage display. It can be recognized by the number of pending storage displays displayed in the area 5U. Further, the display in which the hold storage displays are collected may be referred to as a hold display.

  Whether the hold display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U is generated based on the start winning due to the game ball passing (entering) the first start winning opening, or the second The display mode (for example, display color or shape) may be changed depending on whether the game is generated based on the start winning due to the game ball passing (entering) the starting winning opening. In this embodiment, "execution" and "execution" are synonymous.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, together with the reservation storage display area, the first special symbol display 4A and the first special symbol display 4B on the upper and lower parts of the second special symbol display 4B, the first special hold for displaying the special figure reserved storage number in a identifiable manner. A display device 25A and a second hold display device 25B are provided. The first reserved display device 25A displays the number of the first special figure reserved memories so that it can be specified. The second reserved display device 25B displays the number of second special figure reserved memories so that it can be specified. The first special figure reservation storage number is the number of memories in which execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended. The second special figure reservation storage number is the number of memories in which execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended. The variable storage pending storage number obtained by adding the first special figure pending storage number and the second special figure pending storage number is also referred to as a total pending storage number in particular. When simply saying "the number of special figure reservation storages", it usually means a concept including all of the number of first special figure reservation storages, the number of second special figure reservation storages and the total number of reservation storages. The first special figure reserved storage number and the second special figure reserved storage number are included, but the total reserved storage number is excluded).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the variable display of the effect symbol is executed in synchronization with the variable display of the special symbol, but in the case of performing the effect using the effect display device 5 in this way, for example, of the effect symbol In recent years, production modes have become diversified, such as productions in which production contents including variable displays disappear for a moment from the screen, and productions in which movable objects block all or part of the screen. ing. Therefore, even when looking at the display area on the effect display device 5, it may be difficult to recognize whether or not the display is currently in the variable display state. Therefore, for the purpose of eliminating the difficulty in recognizing whether or not these are currently in the variable display state, the fourth symbol is displayed on the effect display device 5 next to the effect symbol, the special symbol, and the normal symbol. You may provide a 4 symbol display area. These 4 symbols, the variable display of the 4th symbol for the 1st special symbol is performed in synchronization with the variable display of the 1st special symbol, and the 2nd special symbol is synchronized with the variable display of the 2nd special symbol. It suffices that the variable display of the fourth symbol is displayed. The fourth symbol is always displayed in a variable manner with a constant motion, and is not disappeared from the screen or shielded by a shield, so that it can always be visually recognized.

  Below the effect display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example.

It is difficult to open normally. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second starting winning port by the tilting control in which the movable wing piece is in the tilting position when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is on. It will be in an enlarged open state that is easy to enter. In addition, although the normal variable winning ball device 6B allows the game ball to enter the second start winning port even in the normally open state, the game ball may enter more than in the expanded opening state. It may be configured to be low. Alternatively, the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B may be configured so that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening by closing the second starting winning opening in the normally open state. As described above, the second starting winning opening as the second starting area is in an enlarged open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters) and in a normally opened state in which the game ball is difficult to pass (enter) or cannot pass (enter).

Disable it. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is in the on state, the special winning opening door opens the special winning opening, and the game ball passes through (enters) the special winning opening. ) Make it easier. In this way, the special winning opening as the specific area changes between an open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters) and is advantageous to the player, and a closed state where the game ball cannot pass (entry) and is disadvantageous to the player. To do. Instead of the closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enter) the special winning opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball is hard to pass (enter) the special winning opening may be provided.

  The game ball that has passed (entered) the special winning opening is detected by the count switch 23 shown in FIG. 2, for example. Based on the detection of the game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) the special winning opening which has been opened in the special variable winning ball device 7, for example, the other starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the other winning opening are played by the playing ball. More prize balls will be paid out than when you pass (enter). Therefore, if the special winning opening is opened in the special variable winning ball device 7, the game ball can enter the special winning opening, which is the first state advantageous for the player. On the other hand, if the special winning opening is closed in the special variable winning ball device 7, it will be impossible or difficult for the player to get the winning ball by passing (entering) the game ball into the special winning opening, and for the player.

It takes a value in the range of "1" to "65536". The random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type is used to determine the big hit type when the variable display result is "big hit" to "probable variation big hit A", "probability variation big hit B", or "non-probability variation". It is a random number value, and takes a value in the range of, for example, "1" to "100".

  The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number value used to determine the variation pattern in the variation display of the special symbol or the effect symbol to any of a plurality of types prepared in advance, and for example, "1" to "". It takes a value in the range of "997".

  The random number MR4 for determining the figure display result is used to determine whether the variation display result in the figure game by the ordinary symbol display device 20 is “per figure” or “out of figure”. It is a random number value that is set, and takes a value in the range of, for example, “3” to “13”.

  FIG. 5 shows a variation pattern in this embodiment. In the present embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is “out”, the variable display mode of the effect symbol corresponds to “non-reach” and “reach”, respectively, and the variable display A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance in response to the case where the result is a “big hit”. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out” and the variation display mode of the effect design is “non-reach” is referred to as a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as “non-reach out variation pattern”), The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out” and the variation display mode of the effect design is “reach” is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as “reach out variation pattern”). Further, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the outlier variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out”. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern.

  The big hit variation pattern and the reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which a reach effect of normal reach is executed and a super reach variation pattern in which a reach effect of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. Although only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and as in the case of super reach, a plurality of normal reach α, normal reach β,... Alternatively, a normal reach variation pattern may be provided. Further, as the super reach variation pattern, three or more super reach variation patterns such as super reach γ,... In addition to super reach α and super reach β may be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special figure variation time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in this embodiment is executed is set shorter than the super reach variation patterns super reach α and super reach β. .. Further, regarding the special figure variation time of the super reach variation pattern in which the reach reach of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β in this embodiment is executed, the variation pattern in which the super reach production of super reach β is performed However, the special figure variation time is set to be longer than the variation pattern in which the super reach effect of super reach α is executed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, since the variation display result is “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the big hit expectation degree is set to be high. In the reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the jackpot expectation.

  In the present embodiment, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are first determined by the fluctuation pattern type, such as non-reach type, normal reach type, super-reach type, etc. Therefore, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined variation pattern, the determination is made using only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination, a random value for fluctuation pattern type determination is provided, and these random pattern values for fluctuation pattern type determination are provided. It is also possible to first determine the type of the variation pattern from the random number value, and then determine the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the determined variation pattern.

  In the ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2, in addition to the game control program, various selection data used for controlling the progress of the game, table data, etc. are stored. . For example, the ROM 101 stores data that constitutes a plurality of determination tables and setting tables prepared in advance for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, decisions, and settings. Further, in the ROM 101, table data forming a plurality of command tables used by the CPU 103 to transmit control signals as various control commands from the main board 11 and a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. 5 are stored. The table data and the like forming the fluctuation pattern table are stored.

  FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of the display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the present embodiment, as the display result determination table, the display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure is used, but the present invention is not limited to this and the first special figure is used. Alternatively, separate display result determination tables may be used for the second special figure.

  The display result determination table is a variable display result in the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display 4B. Before the special symbol is derived and displayed, it is referred to for determining whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" in the big hit game state based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special sign display result. It's a table.

  In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, the special figure display result is determined according to whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state, the time saving state (low certainty state), or the certainty changed state (highly precise state). A numerical value (judgment value) that is compared with the random number value MR1 for judgment is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "off."

  In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is the determination result of whether or not to control the special figure display result as "big hit" to the big hit game state. It is the determination data to be assigned. In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the certainty variation state (highly precise state), more determination values than those in the normal state or the time saving state (low certainty state) are “big hits”. It is assigned to the special figure display result. Thereby, in the probability variation state (high accuracy state) in which the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low accuracy state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and the big hit game state is controlled. Then, as compared with the probability (about 1/300 in this embodiment) determined, the probability that it is determined to control the big hit game state as the "big hit" is about 1/30 (about 1/30 in this embodiment). ). That is, in the display result determination table, when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probability changing state (highly accurate state), the probability of being determined to control the jackpot gaming state is higher than that in the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so as to be higher.

  FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table of the present embodiment, when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" to control in the big hit game state, based on the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, one of a plurality of big hit types. Is a table that is referenced to determine In the jackpot type determination table, the special symbol that is variably displayed (changed) in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second special symbol). The numerical value (judgment value) that is compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type is "non-probable variation", "probability variation big jackpot A", or "probability variation big jackpot B" depending on whether it is a special drawing game by the symbol display device 4B. Is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots.

  Here, the big hit type in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7B. In the present embodiment, as the big hit type, high-accuracy control and time saving control are executed after the big hit game state is finished and the high hit control is performed. The probability variation big hit A and the probability variation big hit B which shift to the certainty base state, and the non certain probability variation big hit which only time saving control is executed after the end of big hitting game state and shifts to the low certainty height base state are set.

  In the big hit game state by "probability variation big hit A" and the big hit game state by "non-probability variation big hit", as described above, 16 rounds of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player (so-called). 16 rounds), a regular open jackpot that is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, in the big hit game state by "probable variation big hit B", as described above, the round for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed 5 times (so-called 5 rounds). It is a short-term open jackpot. Therefore, "probability variation big hit A" may be referred to as 16 rounds (16R) probability variation jackpot, and "probability variation jackpot B" may be referred to as 5 rounds (5R) probability variation jackpot.

  The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state of the probability-change big hit A or the probability-change big hit B are continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit game state. Therefore, when the big hit which is generated again is the probability variation big hit A or the probability variation big hit B, since the high accuracy control and the time saving control are executed again after the big hit game state ends, the big hit game state does not go through the normal state. It becomes a so-called condominium state that occurs continuously.

  On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the jackpot gaming state due to the "non-probable variation big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment), or the special figure game of the predetermined number of times. It ends by becoming a big hit game state before is executed.

  In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 7(A), "probability variation jackpot A" and "probability variation jackpot B" are determined according to whether the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart. The assignment of judgment values to jackpot types is different. That is, when the variation special map is the first special map, the determination value in the predetermined range (the value in the range of “81” to “100”) is assigned to the big hit type of “probable variation big hit B” having a small number of rounds. On the other hand, when the variation special map is the second special map, the determination value is not assigned to the big hit type of “probable variation big hit B”. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types on the basis that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display 4A is satisfied. And when the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display 4B is satisfied Thus, it is possible to make the jackpot type different in the proportion of determining the “probable variation jackpot B” with a small number of rounds. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not decided that the big hit type is “probably variable big hit B” and the short-time big hit state with a small number of rounds is controlled. , In the gaming state in which the game balls easily enter the second start winning hole formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the amusement of the game is deteriorated by avoiding the frequent occurrence of the short-term open jackpot condition in which the prize balls obtained are few. Can be prevented.

  In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 7(A), whether the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart is assigned to the determination value for the “non-probable change” big jackpot classification. Since they are the same regardless of whether they are the uncertain variation big hits or the probability variation big hits, they are the same regardless of whether the variation special map is the first special map or the second special map. ing.

  Therefore, as described above, the determination value allocation to the "probability variation big hit B" differs depending on whether the variation special map is the first special chart or the second special chart, and accordingly, "probability variation big hit A". Also, the allocation of the judgment value to "is different depending on whether the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart, and the variation special chart is the second special chart for "probable variation big hit A" with many rounds. It is set so that it is easier to be determined in the case of (1) than in the case of the first special figure.

  Even when the variation special map is the second special figure, a determination value in a predetermined range different from that when the variation special figure is the first special figure is assigned to the big hit type of "probable variation big hit B". May be. For example, when the variation special map is the second special figure, a smaller determination value than that when the variation special figure is the first special figure may be assigned to the big hit type of “probable variation big hit B”. Alternatively, regardless of whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to common table data.

  Further, the ROM 101 also stores a fluctuation pattern determination table for determining the fluctuation pattern based on the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination. It is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns.

  Specifically, as the variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern determination table for the big hit used when it is pre-determined that the special figure display result is "big hit", and the special figure display result is "off" The deviation variation pattern determination table used when it is predetermined to do so is prepared in advance.

  In the jackpot variation pattern determination table, the variation patterns of the normal reach jackpot variation pattern (PB1-1), the super reach α jackpot variation pattern (PB1-2), and the super reach β jackpot variation pattern (PB1-3) are included. On the other hand, a predetermined random number value is assigned as the determination value within the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take. In the present embodiment, when these judgment values are the type of big hit is "probability variation big hit A" or "probability variation big hit B", the super reach β is easily determined, and the type of big hit is "non-probability variation big hit". In this case, since the super-reach α is assigned so as to be easily determined, when the variation pattern of the super-reach β is executed, the “probability variation big hit A” or the “probability variation big hit B” does not occur. The player's expectation can be increased.

  Further, the out-of-shift variation pattern determination table is used when the number of pending storages is 1 or less and the out-of-transition variation pattern determination table A and when the total number of pending storages is 2 to 4. Variation pattern determination table B for deviation, variation pattern determination table C for deviation used when the total pending storage number is 5 to 8, and the gaming state is the high base state where the time saving control is executed The deviation variation pattern determination table D used for the above is prepared in advance.

  In the variation pattern determination table A for out-of-range, the non-reach out-of-range variation pattern without shortening (PA1-1), the normal reach out-of-range variation pattern (PA2-1), the super reach α out-of-range variation pattern (PA2-2), the super-reach α out-of-range variation pattern A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value to the variation pattern of out-of-reach β (PA2-3) within a range that the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take. In addition, in the variation pattern determination table B for deviation, the shortened non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-2), the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super-corresponding total pending storage number of 2 to 4 are stored. A predetermined random number value is assigned as the determination value to the variation pattern of out-of-reach α (PA2-2) and the variation pattern of out-of-reach β (PA2-3) in the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take. Has been. Further, in the deviation variation pattern determination table C, the shortened non-reach variation pattern (PA1-3), the normal reach variation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super-corresponding total storage number of 5 to 8 are stored. A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value to the variation pattern with out-of-reach α (PA2-2) and the variation pattern with out-of-reach β (PA2-3) within the range that the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination can take. Has been. In addition, in the variation pattern determination table D for deviation, the shortened non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-4), the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super reach α deviation variation pattern corresponding to the time saving control are performed. (PA2-2), a predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value to the variation pattern (PA2-3) with a deviation of super reach β from the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation time of the non-reach deviation pattern (PA1-2) is shorter than that of the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern (PA1-1) without shortening. The variation time of the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-3) is shorter than that of -2). Therefore, when the number of pending storages increases, the non-reach variation pattern having a short variation time is determined, so that the pending storages are easily digested, and the number of pending storages reaches the upper limit of 4. When the number of reserved memories is reduced, it is less likely to generate useless starting prizes in which holding memory is not held, and when the number of holding memories decreases, non-reach fluctuation without shortening By determining the pattern (PA1-1), the variable display time becomes longer, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the variable display not being executed.

The pending data thus stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit 151A indicates that execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display) in this special figure game is displayed. Based on the (result), it becomes the hold information that enables the determination of whether or not to be a big hit.

  Although the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball device 6B and the starting winning (second starting winning) is generated, the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B is still started. The pending data of a non-special figure game (special figure game using the second special figure on the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B associates the winning order (game ball detection order) to the second start winning opening with the reservation number, and sets the second start condition for the passage (entry) of the game ball. Pending data such as a random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, a random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, and a random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, which are extracted by the CPU 103 from the random number circuit 104 or the like based on the establishment. Is stored until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). The pending data thus stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B indicates that execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display) in this special figure game is displayed. Based on the (result), it becomes the hold information that enables the determination of whether or not to be a big hit.

  The holding information (first holding information) based on the establishment of the first starting condition by the game ball passing (entry) through the first starting winning opening and the gaming ball passing (entry) through the second starting winning opening. The hold information (second hold information) based on the establishment of the second start prize due to the above may be stored in the common hold storage unit in association with the hold number. In this case, starting port data indicating which of the first starting winning port and the second starting winning port the game ball has passed (entered) is included in the holding information and may be stored in association with the holding number. ..

  The general figure reservation storage unit 151C stores the reservation information of the general figure game which has not yet been started by the normal symbol display 20, although the game ball that has passed through the passage gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21. For example, the public figure hold storage unit 151C is associated with the hold numbers in the order in which the game balls have passed through the passage gate 41, and based on the passage of the game balls, the CPU 103 extracts the public figure display result determination from the random number circuit 104 or the like.

The data in the start winning award reception command buffer will be described later in response to the reception of the first starting mouth winning designation command and the second starting mouth winning designation command and the reception of the first variation start command and the second variation start command. It is updated in the hold display update process (S72, see FIG. 12) in the effect control process process. The hold storage display in the storage display area 5U is updated.

  Specifically, when the first start opening winning a prize designating command is received based on the fact that there is a start winning at the first starting winning opening, a circular white color is displayed on the holding storage display in the first holding storage display area 5D. While the display is newly added, when the first fluctuation start command is received based on the fact that the fluctuation of the first special figure is newly started, the maximum of the reserved storage displays in the first reserved storage display area 5D is displayed. The circular white display of the upper rank (the first held winning memory) is erased, and the other circular white displays are shifted so that they are shifted (moved) in a predetermined direction (for example, leftward). To update. Similarly, when the second start opening winning a prize designating command is received based on the fact that there is a start winning in the second starting winning opening, a circular white display is displayed in the holding storage display in the second holding storage display area 5U. While being newly added, when the second variation start command is received based on the fact that the variation of the second special figure is newly started, the highest (of the pending storage displays in the second pending storage display area 5U ( Update the reserved display so that the circular white display of the earliest starting winning winning memory) is erased and the other circular white displays are shifted (moved) in a predetermined direction (for example, leftward). To do.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko game machine 1, such as that the game ball that has passed through the passage gate 41 provided in the game area is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. After the universal figure starting condition for is satisfied, the ordinary symbol display device 20 is based on the establishment of the universal figure starting condition for starting the variable display of the ordinary symbol, for example, that the previous universal figure game is finished. The public figure game by is started.

  In this public figure game, after the fluctuation of the normal symbol is started, when the predetermined time which is the general figure fluctuation time elapses, the fixed normal symbol which is the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped (displayed). At this time, as a fixed ordinary symbol, if a specific ordinary symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol) such as a number indicating “7” is stopped and displayed, the variable display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per symbol”. On the other hand, as a fixed ordinary symbol, for example, if a regular symbol other than the regular symbol, such as a number or a symbol other than the number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed, the variable display result of the regular symbol is “out of regular symbol”. Become. In response to the fact that the variable display result of the ordinary symbol is "universal symbol", the expansion opening control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip that constitutes the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the tilted position. When a predetermined time elapses, the normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, after the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied because the previous special figure game or the jackpot gaming state has ended. In addition, the second starting condition is satisfied because the game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. After that, the special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, by ending the previous special figure game or the big hit game state.

  In the special drawing game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, after starting the variable display of the special symbol, when the variable display time as the special symbol change time elapses, the variable display of the special symbol The finalized special symbol (result of special symbol display) that is the result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as the fixed special symbol, the result is "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the fixed special symbol, " It will be out of order. Incidentally, a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol may be stopped and displayed, and when the predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) as the result of the predetermined display is stopped and displayed. , The small hit game state as a special game state different from the big hit game state may be controlled.

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", the big hit game state is controlled as a specific game state in which a round advantageous to the player (also called "round game") is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as an example, the special symbols indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” are the big hit symbols, and the special symbols indicating the “−” symbols are the deviating symbols. Incidentally, each symbol such as the big hit symbol and the off symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol indicator 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol indicator 4B. However, the special symbol common to both special symbol games may be a big hit symbol or a deviating symbol.

  After the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game and becomes the "big hit" as the specific display result, in the big hit game state, the big winning opening door of the special variable winning ball device 7 has a predetermined upper limit time. The special winning opening is opened for a period of time (e.g., 29 seconds or 0.1 seconds) or a predetermined number of (e.g., 9) winning balls. As a result, a round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is brought into the first state (open state), which is advantageous for the player, is executed.

  The special winning a prize sphere device, by receiving the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then closing the special winning a prize, the big award entrance door which opened the big award winning prize during the execution of the round. 7 is changed to a second state (closed state), which is disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”). Even before the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit, the execution of the round may be ended by the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, a game ball has not been won in the special winning opening). ..

  Among the rounds in the big hit game state, the round in which the upper limit time for setting the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is a relatively long time (for example, 29 seconds) is normally opened. Also called a round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time for which the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the first state (open state) is a relatively short time (for example, 0.1 seconds) is also called a short-term open round.

  Of the special symbols indicating the numbers "3", "5", and "7" that are big hit symbols, the special symbol indicating the number "7" becomes the big hit symbol corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, which will be described later, of "5". The special symbol indicating the number is a big hit symbol corresponding to the probability variation big hit B described later. As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, in the jackpot gaming state (normally open jackpot state) that is controlled after the jackpot symbol of "3" or "7" is derived, the jackpot door of the special variable winning ball device 7 is , A special variable prize by opening the special winning opening until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9 balls) of prize balls are generated. A round for changing the ball device 7 to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is repeatedly executed a first number of times (for example, 16 times). The normal open jackpot state is also referred to as the first specific game state.

  Incidentally, among the special symbols showing the numbers "3", "5", and "7" which are big hit symbols, the special symbol showing the number "3" is a big hit symbol corresponding to an uncertain odd big hit described later, and is a special variable. The special winning opening door of the winning ball device 7 opens the special winning opening until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, 9) winning balls are generated. The round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player by setting the open state is repeatedly executed the first number of times (for example, 16 times) like the probability variation big hit A. ..

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, out of special symbols indicating the numbers "3", "5", and "7" which are jackpot symbols, the special symbol indicating the number "5" is controlled after being derived. In the big hit game state (short-term open big hit state), the upper limit time for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player in each round (the period when the big winning opening is opened by the big winning opening door) The upper limit) is the same as the predetermined period in the normal open jackpot state, but the first round in the normal open jackpot state is the round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player. For example, the second number of times (for example, 5 times) less than 16 times is repeatedly executed. The short-term open jackpot state is also called the second specific game state. Note that, in these short-term open jackpots, the number of rounds is set to be the second number of 5 times, but the number of rounds is the same as the first number (eg, 16) in the normal open jackpot state. On the other hand, in each round after a predetermined number (for example, 6), the upper limit time for changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player (the upper limit of the period in which the special winning opening door opens the special winning opening) ) May be set to a second period (for example, 0.1 seconds) shorter than the first period in the normal open big hit state, so that the actual number of rounds may be made smaller than in the normal open big hit state.

  In such a short-term open big hit state, the number of rounds is smaller than in the normal open big hit state, so that the expected value of the payout (prize ball) that can be obtained is smaller than that in the normal open big hit state. In addition, in these short-term open jackpots, by setting the opening period of the special winning opening to the second period (0.1 seconds, etc.) for all rounds, the payout (prize ball) cannot be obtained substantially. It may be a jackpot game state. That is, in the big hit game state as the short-term open round specific game state, the period in which the game ball easily passes (enters) the special winning opening in each round is changed from the first period in the normal open round specific game state. It is normally opened by at least one of the short second period and the number of times the round is executed being the second round number which is less than the first round number in the normally open round specific game state. It is sufficient if the number of balls (prize balls) that can be obtained is smaller than in the big hit state.

  In the "left", "middle", and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the effect display device 5, a special figure game using the first special symbol on the first special symbol indicator 4A and In the special figure game using the second special figure on the second special symbol display device 4B, in response to the start of any special figure game, the variable display of the effect symbols is started. Then, from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol until the end of the variable display by the stop display of the fixed effect symbol in each of the "left", "middle" and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the variable display state of the effect design may be a predetermined reach state.

  Here, with the reach state, when the effect design which is stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the effect design which is not yet stopped and displayed (“reach variation pattern”). (Also referred to as) is a display state in which the fluctuation continues, or a display state in which all or a part of the effect symbols fluctuate in synchronization while forming all or a part of the big hit combination. Specifically, in a part (for example, "left" and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L, 5R, etc.) of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right", in advance. The remaining effect design display area (for example, "Medium" effect) that is not yet stopped and displayed when the effect design (eg, effect design indicating alphanumeric characters "7") that constitutes the determined jackpot combination is stopped and displayed. In the design display area 5C, etc.), the display state in which the effect symbols are changing, or in all or part of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right", the effect symbol is a big hit It is a display state in which all or part of the combination is changed while changing in synchronization.

  Further, in response to the reach state, the fluctuation speed of the effect design is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person or the like) different from the effect design is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. By changing the display mode of the background image, playing back and displaying a moving image different from the effect design, or changing the variation mode of the effect design, a performance operation different from that before the reach state is executed. May be done. The production operation such as the display of the character image or the display mode of the background image, the reproduction display of the moving image, and the change of the variation mode of the production symbol is referred to as reach production display (or simply reach production). In addition, in the reach effect, not only the display operation in the effect display device 5, but also the voice output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light-emitting body such as the game effect LED 9, and the like before being in the reach state. The operation mode different from the operation mode may be included.

  As the effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of kinds of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. And, the possibility of becoming a "big hit" (also called "reliability" or "big hit reliability") is different in each reach mode. That is, it is possible to change the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” depending on which of a plurality of types of reach effects is executed.

  As an example, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, reach modes such as normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β are preset. And, when the reach form of super reach such as super reach α and super reach β appears, the variation display result may be a “big hit” compared to the case where the reach form of normal reach appears (big hit expectation degree) Becomes higher. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the reach mode of super-reach such as super-reach α and super-reach β, when the super-reach β appears, the variation display result is “big hit” than when the super-reach α appears. There is a high expectation for big hits (Big hit expectation: Super reach β> Super reach α> Normal reach).

  In this embodiment, as will be described later, in the reach, the variation time is set such that super reach β>super reach α>normal reach (see FIG. 5). Expectations are getting higher.

  During the variable display of the production symbol, unlike the reach effect, the variable display state of the effect symbol may be the reach state, and the variable display result may be a "big hit". A variable display effect such as “slip” or “pseudo-link” for informing the player may be executed depending on the effect display mode of the effect symbol. Whether or not these variable display effects of “slip” and “pseudo-relation” are executed should be determined in response to the variation pattern being determined on the main board 11 side. In addition, regardless of the variation pattern determined on the main board 11 side, it may be determined whether or not the "slip" variation display effect is executed on the effect control board 12 side.

  During the variable display of the effect design, unlike the variable display effect such as the reach effect, for example, a predetermined effect image is displayed, a message image display, voice output, LED lighting, etc. Due to the production operation different from the variation display operation, the variation display state of the production symbol may be in the reach state, the reach production by the super reach may be executed, and the variation display result is "big hit". A notice effect may be executed to notify the player in advance that there is a possibility that The production operation which is the notice production is the variation display state of the production symbols after the variation display of the production symbols is started in all of the production symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of "left", "middle" and "right". Need only be executed (started) before the production state reaches the reach state (before the production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the "left" and "right" production symbol display areas 5L and 5R). In addition, the notice production that notifies that the variation display result may be a “big hit” may include that which is executed after the variation display state of the effect symbol is changed to the reach state.

  The notice effect may include a pending display notice effect. The hold display notice effect is based on a change in the display mode such as the hold display of the special figure game before the start of the change display which is the subject of the change, such as the possibility that the change display result is a “big hit”. It is a suggested notice production. In particular, the effect that continuously announces the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" over the variable display of the effect symbol that is executed multiple times corresponding to the special drawing game multiple times is a continuous notice effect (continuous It is also called production. While the special drawing game is being executed once, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed, and then the effect symbols are changed again (pseudo continuous change, re-change) for a predetermined number of times, and pseudo. In a gaming machine that performs a "pseudo-relation" variable display effect that makes it appear as if multiple variable displays are being executed, the variable display result is a "big hit" over the pseudo multiple variable displays. A notice production that gives advance notice of possibilities is also included in the notice production (continuous production).

  As a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, when the special symbol which is the outlier symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), the variable display state of the effect symbol is not changed to the reach state after the variable display of the effect symbol is started. In some cases, a fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display mode of effect symbols is referred to as a “non-reach” (also referred to as “normally off”) variable display mode when the variable display result is “out”.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, when the special symbol which is the outlier symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), the variable display state of the effect symbol is changed to the reach state after the variable display of the effect symbol is started. Correspondingly, after the reach effect is executed, or the reach effect is not executed, the fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined out-of-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. The variation display result of such effect symbols is referred to as a variation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach loss”) in the case where the variation display result is “out”.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special symbol game, if the big hit symbol showing the number “3” among the special symbols that will be the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it corresponds to the fact that the variable display state of the effect symbol has reached the reach state. Then, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, the fixed effect symbol, which is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as "non-probability variation big hit combination"), of a plurality of kinds of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed. Incidentally, the reach effect may not be executed, and the non-probable variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as the finalized effect design.

  The fixed effect symbols that are usually the jackpot combination (non-probable variation jackpot combination) are variably displayed in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" in the effect display device 5, for example. Of the effect symbols having the symbol numbers “1” to “8”, any one of the effect symbols having the even number “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” is “left”, “ It suffices as long as it is stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of "middle" and "right". The effect symbols having the even number “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” that constitute the normal jackpot combination are called normal symbols (also referred to as “non-probability variation symbols”).

  Corresponding to the fact that the fixed special symbol in the special drawing game becomes the normal big hit symbol, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, the fixed effect symbol of the normal big hit combination (non-probability variation big hit combination) is displayed as a stop. The variable display mode is referred to as a "non-probable change" (also called "normal big hit") variable display mode (also called "big hit type") when the variable display result is "big hit". It should be noted that the normal big hit combination (uncertain variation big hit combination) may be stopped and displayed as the finalized effect design without executing the reach effect. Based on the fact that the variation display result is "big hit" in the "non-probable variation" big hit type, the normal open big hit state is controlled, and after the end, time reduction control (time saving control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the variable display time (special figure variation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time saving control, as will be described later, the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased, and the winning frequency of the normal variable winning ball device 6B is increased, that is, so-called electric chow support is implemented. Here, the normal state is a normal game state different from a specific game state such as a big hit game state, and the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when the system is reset, after power-on). The same control as the state in which the initialization process is executed) is performed. In the time saving control, one of the condition that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the jackpot gaming state is ended and that the variable display result is “jackpot” is established first. Sometimes you just have to quit.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, when the probability variation big hit symbol such as the special symbol indicating the number “7” is stopped and displayed among the special symbols which are the big hit symbols, the variable display state of the effect symbol is the reach state. Corresponding to that, after the reach effect similar to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “normal” is executed, the fixed effect symbol combination which is a predetermined probability variable jackpot combination among a plurality of types of jackpot combinations May be stopped. The reach effect may not be executed, and the probability variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as the confirmed effect pattern. The definitive effect symbol which is the probability variation big hit combination is, for example, the symbol number which is variably displayed in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" in the effect display device 5 is "1". ~ Of the effect symbols of "8", the effect symbol having the symbol number "7" is a predetermined effective line in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". It is sufficient that they are stopped and displayed together. The effect symbol having the symbol number "7" which constitutes the probability variation big hit combination is referred to as a probability variation symbol. When the probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the fixed special symbol in the special drawing game, the fixed effect symbol which is usually the big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as the variable display result of the effect symbol.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, if the probability variation big hit symbol such as the special symbol indicating the number “5” is stopped and displayed among the special symbols that are short-term open round jackpot symbols, the variable display state of the effect symbol is Corresponding to the reach state, after the reach effect similar to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is "normal" is executed, a predetermined probability variable big hit combination is set out of a plurality of kinds of big hit combinations. The fixed effect design may be stopped and displayed. The reach effect may not be executed, and the probability variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as the confirmed effect pattern. The fixed effect design which is the probability variation big hit combination, for example, the symbol number that is variably displayed in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" in the effect display device 5 is "1". ~ Among the effect symbols of "8", any one of the effect symbols whose symbol numbers are odd numbers "1", "3", "5" other than "7" is "left", "middle", "right" It suffices as long as it is stopped and displayed in line on a predetermined effective line in each effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R. The effect symbols having the symbol numbers "1", "3", and "5" that form the probability variation big hit combination are called probability variation symbols as with the effect symbol "7" described above. Incidentally, when the probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the fixed special symbol in the special drawing game, as a result of the variable display of the effect symbol, the fixed effect symbol which is usually the big hit combination may be stopped and displayed. Good.

  Regardless of whether the fixed effect symbol is the normal big hit combination or the probability variation big hit combination, the variation display mode in which the probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the fixed special symbol in the special figure game is a variation display result of "big hit". In this case, it is referred to as a “probable change” variation display mode (also referred to as “big hit type”). In the present embodiment, among the jackpot types of "probability variation", the jackpot is controlled to the normal open jackpot state based on the fact that the jackpot is the jackpot in the variable display result of "7" as the fixed special symbol, and the end thereof. After that, stochastic variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with time reduction control. On the other hand, out of the “probable change” jackpot types, the jackpot is controlled in the short-term open jackpot state based on the “big hit” in the variable display result of “5” as the confirmed special symbol, and after that, the time saving control At the same time, stochastic variation control (probability variation control) is performed.

  By performing these probability variation controls, the probability that the variation display result (special figure display result) is a "big hit" in each special figure game is improved to be higher than in the normal state. The probability variation control may be ended when the condition that the variable display result becomes "big hit" and the big hit game state is controlled again after the big hit game state ends. Like the time saving control, when the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times the same as the time saving number or 90 times different from the time saving number) after the jackpot gaming state, the probability variation control ends. You may. In addition, even if the probability variation control is finished when the "probability variation falling" decision is made to end the probability variation control in the probability variation falling lottery that is executed each time the special figure game is started after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Good.

  When the time saving control is performed, the control for shortening the variation time of the regular symbol in the regular symbol game by the regular symbol display 20 (general symbol variation time) and the variation of the regular symbol in each regular symbol game Control for improving the probability that the display result is "Public hit" compared to that in the normal state, tilt control of the movable wing piece in the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on that the variation display result is "Public hit" In order to make it easier for the game ball to pass (enter) through the second start winning port, such as control for making the tilt control time for performing longer than in the normal state and control for increasing the number of tilts than in the normal state By increasing the possibility that the starting condition is satisfied, a control (electricity chewing support control) that is advantageous to the player is performed. In this way, the control that makes it easier for the player to enter the game ball into the second start winning port along with the time saving control is advantageous for the player, and is also called high opening control. As the high opening control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed.

  By performing the high opening control, the frequency of the second start winning opening being in the expanded opening state is higher than that in the case where the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second starting condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure on the second special symbol display 4B is easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. Moreover, the time until the variable display result becomes a "big hit" is shortened. The period in which the high opening control can be executed is also called a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period in which the time saving control is performed.

  The game state in which both the time saving control and the high opening control are performed is also called a time saving state or a high base state. The gaming state in which the probability variation control is performed is also referred to as a probability variation state or a highly accurate state. The gaming state in which the time saving control and the high opening control are performed together with the probability variation control is also referred to as a highly accurate high base state. Although not set as a controlled game state in the present embodiment, a certain variation state in which only certain variation control is performed and time saving control or high opening control is not performed is also referred to as a highly precise low base state. Further, only the gaming state in which the time reduction control and the high opening control are performed together with the probability variation control may be referred to as a "probability variation state" in particular, and may be referred to as a time reduction probability variation state in order to distinguish it from the high accuracy low base state. On the other hand, the certainty variation state in which only the certainty variation control is performed and neither the time saving control nor the high opening control is performed (the highly accurate low base state) may be referred to as the no-time saving certainty variation state in order to distinguish from the highly accurate high base state. The time saving state in which the time saving control or the high opening control is performed without performing the probability variation control is also referred to as a low accuracy high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability variation control, the time saving control, nor the high opening control is performed is also referred to as a low accurate low base state. When at least one of time saving control and probability variation control is performed in a game state other than the normal state, the special figure game can be frequently executed, and the probability that the variable display result in each special figure game is a "big hit" As a result of being increased, the player is in an advantageous state. A gaming state that is advantageous to the player and different from the jackpot gaming state is also called a special gaming state.

  The re-lottery effect may be executed during the variable display of the effect symbols in which the fixed effect symbol is the non-probable variation big hit combination or the probability variation big hit combination. In the re-lottery production, after the production symbols which are usually a big hit combination are temporarily displayed in the production symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" on the production display device 5, for example, "left". ], "middle", "right" each effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R is changed again in the state of the same effect symbols are aligned, a definite variation big hit combination (definite variation symbol) and a normal big hit One of the effect symbols (normal symbols) to be combined is stopped and displayed as the final effect symbol (final stop display). Here, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the jackpot type is "non-probable change", as the re-lottery effect, the fixed effect symbol that becomes the normal jackpot combination after re-changing the effect symbol that has been temporarily stopped and displayed It suffices to perform a re-lottery drawing effect that derives and displays. On the other hand, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the jackpot type is "probability variation", as the re-lottery effect, the definite variation jackpot combination that is a probabilistic jackpot combination is re-varied after the effect symbols that have been temporarily stopped are changed. The re-lottery winning effect for stopping and displaying the symbols may be executed, or the re-lottery winning effect may be executed.

  After the definitive effect symbol that is usually a big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is derived and displayed, at the start of the big hit game state or during a round in the big hit game state, one of the rounds ends in the big hit game state From the end of the last round in the big hit game state to the start of the next variable display game, etc. The jackpot mid-elevation promotion effect that is a notification effect may be executed. The notification effect similar to the promotion effect during the big hit may be executed during the first variation display game after the end of the big hit game state. The jackpot mid-promotion production that is executed after the final round in the jackpot game state is sometimes called "ending promotion production".

  In the big hit mid-promotion production, despite the fact that the fixed production pattern is usually a big jackpot combination, there is a big hit mid-promotion success production that notifies that there is a promotion where the game state is a probable change state, and that there is no promotion that is a probable change state. There is a promotion failure promotion during a big hit to inform. For example, in the jackpot mid-elevation effect, the effect symbol is variably displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 and either the normal symbol or the probability variation symbol is stopped and displayed as the effect display result, or the variable symbol of the effect symbol is displayed. By displaying different effect images, the presence or absence of promotion in a probable change state may be notified so that the player can recognize.

  Next, the operation (action) 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 process is started, the CPU 103 makes necessary initialization after setting the interrupt prohibition. In this initial setting, the RAM 102 is cleared, for example. In addition, register setting of the CTC (counter/timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, the interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute the timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, the interrupt is permitted and then the loop processing is started. In the game control main process, the 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 started.

  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 executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, and thereby the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (S11). Then, by executing a predetermined main side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be issued if necessary according to the diagnosis result (S12). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, data such as jackpot information, starting information, and probability variation information supplied to a hall management computer arranged outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output (S13). ).

  Following the information output process, a game random number updating process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers such as the random number values MR1 to MR4 used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (S14). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (S15). In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol. Various processes are selected and executed in order to control the display operation of the display 4B and the opening/closing operation of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process is executed (S16). The CPU 103 controls the display operation in the normal symbol display device 20 (for example, turning on and off of the segment LED, etc.) by executing the normal symbol process process, and the variable display of the normal symbol and the movable variable prize ball device 6B in the normal manner. It enables setting of tilting motion of winglets.

  After executing the normal symbol process process, the CPU 103 executes a command control process to transmit a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 (S17). As an example of these, in the command control processing, among the output ports included in the I/O 105, corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table designated by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155, After setting the control data to the output port for transmitting the production control command to the production control board 12, set the predetermined control data to the output port of the production control INT signal and turn on the production control INT signal for the predetermined time. By changing from the state to the off state, it is possible to transmit the effect control command based on the setting in the command transmission table. After executing the command control process, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated after setting the interrupt enable state.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed in S15 shown in FIG. 9 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning process (S21). After executing the start winning process, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes of S22 to S29 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether or not there is a first start prize or a second start prize by the first start mouth switch 22A or the second start mouth switch 22B, and if there is a prize, the special figure display result. A random number value MR1 for determination, a random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, and a random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination are extracted, and in the case of the first start winning, an empty entry in the first special figure reservation storage unit 151A. In the case of the second starting prize, it is stored in the highest rank of the empty entry in the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B.

  The special symbol normal process of S22 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0". In this special symbol normal processing, based on the presence or absence of the pending data stored in the first special symbol reservation storage unit 151A and the second special symbol reservation storage unit 151B, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol Whether or not the special figure game is started by the display 4B is determined. In the special symbol normal processing, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for special symbol display result determination, whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is "big hit", the variable display result is It is decided (predetermined) before it is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, in response to the variable display result of the special symbol in the special symbol game, the fixed special symbol in the special symbol game (big hit symbol or Either one of the outlying patterns) is set. In the special symbol normal process, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" when the variable display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is predetermined.

  The fluctuation pattern setting process of S23 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". In this variation pattern setting process, based on the result of the preliminary determination as to whether or not the variation display result is a “big hit” and the like, one of a plurality of variation patterns is used by using the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for the variation pattern determination. It includes processing to determine whether or not. When the variation pattern setting process is executed and the variation display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "2".

  By the special symbol normal process of S22 and the variation pattern setting process of S23, the variation pattern including the variation display time of the fixed special symbol or the special symbol and the effect symbol which is the variation display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal process or the variation pattern setting process uses the random number MR1 for the special symbol display result determination, the random number value MR2 for the jackpot type determination, the random number value MR3 for the variation pattern determination, the special symbol or the effect symbol. It includes a process of determining the variable display mode of.

  The special symbol variation process of S24 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, the setting process for changing the special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts changing It includes the process of measuring. For example, every time the special symbol variation process of S24 is executed, the special symbol variation timer value which is the stored value in the special symbol variation timer provided in the game control timer setting section 153 is subtracted from or added to 1, and the first Whether it is a special figure game using the first special figure on the special symbol display device 4A or a special figure game using the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B, a common timer elapses Time measurements are taken. Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. In this way, the special symbol variation process of S24 is the variation of the special symbol 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. The variation of the special symbol in the special figure game using is only required to be a process controlled by a common process routine. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3".

  The special symbol stop process of S25 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the variation of the special symbol is stopped by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the fixed special symbol which is the variation display result of the special symbol is stopped (displayed). It includes a process for making settings for the setting. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is turned on, and when the big hit flag is turned on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". To be done. On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0".

  The big hit opening pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". In this big hit opening pre-processing, based on the fact that the variable display result is "big hit", etc., there is processing to start the execution of the round in the big hit game state and set the big winning opening to the open state. include. At this time, for example, the upper limit of the period in which the special winning opening is opened is set in accordance with whether the jackpot type is "non-probable variation big hit", "probability variation big hit A", or "probability variation big hit B". May be. As an example, regardless of the type of big hit, the upper limit of the period for which the special winning opening is opened is set to "29 seconds", and the number of times of opening the big winning opening, which is the upper limit number of rounds, is set to "non-certain variation big hit. Or “probably variable big hit A”, it is sufficient to set to “16 times” to set the normal open big hit state. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "probable variation jackpot B", the short-term open jackpot state is set by setting the number of times of opening the special winning opening, which is the upper limit number of rounds, to "5". I'm sorry. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5".

  The big hit opening process of S27 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". In this big hit opening process, the process of measuring the elapsed time after the big winning opening is opened, and the big winning opening based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return the open state from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, after performing a process of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6". ..

  The post-big hit opening process of S28 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This big hit opening post processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round to open the special winning opening has reached the maximum winning opening maximum number of times, reached the maximum winning opening maximum value In this case, a process for making settings for transmitting a big hit end designation command is included. When the number of rounds executed has not reached the maximum winning opening maximum number, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the maximum winning opening maximum number is reached, the special drawing is opened. The value of the process flag is updated to "7".

  The big hit ending process of S29 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 is executed as an effect operation for notifying the end of the big hit game state by the effect display device 5, the speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect LED 9, and the like. It includes a process of waiting until the elapse of, a process of performing various settings (setting of a probability variation flag and a time saving flag) for starting the probability variation control and the time saving control in response to the end of the big hit game state. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0".

  In the jackpot end process, the jackpot type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is read out, and the jackpot type is either "non-probable variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot B". Identify what was there. Then, when it is determined that the specified jackpot type is not the "non-probability variation jackpot", the setting (probability variation flag setting) for starting the probability variation control is performed.

  In addition, when the specified jackpot type is “non-probable variation jackpot”, the setting for starting the time saving control (setting of the time saving flag and the upper limit of the special figure game that can be executed during the time saving control is performed in advance). The predetermined count initial value (“100” in this embodiment) is set in the hour/hour counter.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the effect control main processing executed by the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12. When the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process. In the main processing, first, initialization processing for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation interval (for example, 2 ms) of the effect control is performed (S51). After that, the CPU 120 for effect control shifts to the loop processing for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When the timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets the timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (ON) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53) and executes the following process.

  First, the effect control CPU 120 analyzes the received effect control command and performs processing such as setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis process: S54). In this command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the content of the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the received command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and is stored in the buffer area formed in the RAM 122. In the command analysis processing, which command (see FIG. 3) is the effect control command stored in the buffer area is analyzed.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from among the processes corresponding to the control state, and the display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, an effect random number updating process for updating the count value of the counter for generating an effect random number such as a jackpot symbol random number is executed (S56), and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the effect control process process (S55) in the effect control main process. In the effect control process process, the effect control CPU 120 first displays the hold storage display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U of the effect display device 5 according to the storage content of the effect control buffer setting unit. The pending display update processing for updating the displayed display is executed (S72).

  After that, the effect control CPU 120 performs any one of S73 to S79 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  Variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100. Specifically, it is confirmed in the command analysis process whether or not the variation pattern designation command is received. If the variation pattern designation command is received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to the value corresponding to the effect symbol variation start processing (S74).

  Production symbol variation start processing (S74): control is performed so that variation of the production symbol is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the effect during the process of changing the effect symbol (S75).

  Production symbol fluctuation process (S75): The switching timing of each fluctuation state (fluctuation speed) forming the fluctuation pattern is controlled, and the end of the fluctuation time is monitored. Then, when the variation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop processing (S76).

  Production symbol fluctuation stop process (S76): Based on the reception of the production control command (symbol confirmation command) for instructing the stop of all symbols, the variation of the production symbol is stopped and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. To do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit display process (S77) or the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Big hit display processing (S77): After the end of the variation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying occurrence of big hit on the effect display device 5. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the big hit game process (S78).

  Big hit game processing (S78): The big hit game is controlled. For example, when a special winning opening open designation command or a special winning opening open designation command is received, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 and the like are performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the big hit ending effect process (S79).

  Big hit end effect processing (S79): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit game state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation start process (S74) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. In the effect symbol variation start processing, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variation start command reception flag is set in S271 (S271). If the first fluctuation start command reception flag is set (S271; Y), the first special figure reserved storage buffer numbers "1" to "4" in the start winning prize reception command buffer are stored in association with each other. The various command data and various flags that are present are shifted upward by one buffer number (S272). The contents of the buffer number "1" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so the contents are erased.

  If the first fluctuation start command reception flag is not set in S271 (S271; N), it is determined whether the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (S273). If the second fluctuation start command reception flag is not set (S273; N), the effect symbol fluctuation start processing is ended, and if the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (S273; Y), start Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “1” to “4” of the second special figure reservation storage in the winning command buffer when winning is shifted upward by one buffer number (S274). ). The contents of the buffer number "1" cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift, so the contents are erased.

  After execution of S272 or S274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (S275).

  Next, the display result (stop design) of the effect design is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (S276). In this case, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the stop symbol of the effect symbol according to the display result designated by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop symbol of the effect symbol in the effect symbol display result storage area. To do.

  In the present embodiment, when the received variation display result designation command is the second variation display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, the three symbols as the stop symbol is “7”. Decide the combination of effect symbols (big hit symbols) that have been prepared in. In the case where the received variation display result designation command is the third variation display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, as a stop symbol, a plurality of combinations of odd symbols other than “7” (for example, “111”, A combination of effect symbols such as “333”, “555”, and “999”). In the case where the received variation display result designation command is the fourth variation display result designation command corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit, the CPU 120 for effect control, for example, of the effect symbols in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as stop symbols Determine the combination (big hit pattern). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the outlier, the combination of the effect symbols (outer symbol) in which the three symbols are non-uniform as the stop symbol is determined.

  In the determination of these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining a stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating a combination of effect symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, the stop design of the effect design may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting the data indicating the combination of the effect symbols corresponding to the numerical values that match the extracted random numbers.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the high base state (high-probability high-base state or low-probability high-base state) (S277). When the gaming state is in the high base state (S277; Y), it is further determined whether or not the variation pattern of the variation display is the super reach variation pattern (S278). When the variation pattern of the variation display is the variation pattern of super reach (S278; Y), the reach effect determination random number is extracted from the random number circuit 124 and the like, and the extracted reach effect determination random number, reach effect not shown. The reach effect is determined from the first reach effect to the third reach effect based on the determination table and the variable display result in the variable display (S279).

  As shown in FIG. 14D, in the first reach effect, a battle effect in which an ally character and an enemy character fight on the effect display device 5 is executed, and the player is operated during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B during the battle effect. Is a reach effect in which the teammate character wins or loses or draws based on the operation of the push button 31B or the lapse of the operation acceptance period. If the teammate character wins in the battle production, the variation display result is a probable variation jackpot, and the player is informed that the gaming state is controlled to the probable variation state (high-probability high-base state) after the jackpot game, and the battle production is performed. When the teammate character is defeated in, the variation display result is an uncertain variation big hit, so that the gaming state is controlled to the high base state (low certainty high base state) after the big hit game ends. Further, when the teammate character is drawn from the enemy character in the battle production, the high base state (high-probability high-base state or low-probability high-base state) is maintained due to the variable display result being out of alignment (out of super reach). Inform.

  In the second reach effect, the effect display device 5 displays the image 210 of the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image, which will be described later, and changes the display mode of the image of the push button 31B based on the elapse of time. , The player operates the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, or informs that the variation display result is a probability variation jackpot based on the lapse of the operation acceptance period, or the variation display This is a reach effect that informs that the result is out of alignment.

  Further, the third reach effect is a reach effect in which the image 210 of the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image described later on the effect display device 5 is stopped or displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. If the image of the push button 31B is not stopped or displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, the variable display result is notified and the image of the push button 31B is displayed. In the case where the display is stopped or appears in the center of the display area of 5, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, or the operation acceptance period has elapsed. Based on the above, the fact that the variation display result is a probability variation big hit is notified.

  The image 210 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5 in the first to third reach effects of the present embodiment is a semitransparent image, but the present invention is not limited to this. The image 210 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5 in the first reach effect to the third reach effect is not limited to the above. If it is a display mode that can be distinguished from the image 230 of the push button 31B displayed as an image, for example, an image different in size and color from the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, a partial image of the push button 31B, and the like. May be

  Note that in S279, the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the first reach effect in the winning pattern at a rate of 33.3% as shown in FIG. 14A when the variation display result is the probability variation big hit. , 33.3% determines the execution of the second reach effect in the success pattern, and the rate of 33.4% determines the execution of the third reach effect in the success pattern. In other words, when the variation display result is a probability variation big hit, the execution of the first reach effect in the winning pattern, the execution of the second reach effect in the success pattern, and the execution of the third reach effect in the success pattern are performed at substantially the same ratio. To decide.

  When the variation display result is the uncertain variation big hit, the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the first reach effect in the defeat pattern at a rate of 100%, as shown in FIG. Execution of the reach effect or the third reach effect is not decided.

  When the variable display result is out of alignment, the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the first reach effect in the draw pattern at a rate of 33.3%, as shown in FIG. .3% determines the execution of the second reach effect in the failure pattern, and 33.4% determines the execution of the third reach effect in the failure pattern. That is, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the execution of the first reach effect in the draw pattern, the execution of the second reach effect in the failure pattern, and the execution of the third reach effect in the failure pattern are performed at substantially the same rate. decide.

  In the present embodiment, the execution of the first reach effect, the execution of the second reach effect, and the execution of the third reach effect are performed at substantially the same rate depending on whether the variation display result is a probability variation big hit or not. Although the form to determine is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution of the first reach effect, the execution of the second reach effect, and the execution of the third reach effect, the variation display result is a sudden change big hit. It may be determined at different ratios depending on whether it is or not. By doing so, since it is possible to create a reach effect that is easily executed when the variation display result is a probability variation big hit, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which reach effect is executed. The interest can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reach effect determined to be executed when the variable display result is an uncertain variation big hit is only the first reach effect of the defeat pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. Even when the variation display result is an uncertain variation big hit, execution of the second reach effect or the third reach effect may be determined. Further, in the present embodiment, the first reach effect to the third reach effect can be executed only when the game state is the high base state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The first reach effect to the third reach effect may be executed even in the low base state.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the first reach effect is determined in S279 (S280). If the execution of the second reach effect or the third reach effect is determined in S279 (S280; N), the process proceeds to S283, and if the execution of the first reach effect is determined in S279 (S280; Y), A random number for effect route determination for the first reach effect is extracted from the random number circuit 124 and the like, and based on the extracted random number for effect route determination, an effect route determination table not shown, and the variation display result in the variable display. The production route in the first reach production is determined to be the chance route or the pinch route. The chance route is a production route that suggests that the teammate character attacks the enemy character in the battle production to produce a victory (probability change big hit) or a draw (fall). , Is a production route that suggests that the production result will be defeated (uncertain variation big hit) or drawn (out) when the enemy character attacks the ally character in the battle production.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, when the variation display result is the probability variation big hit, that is, when the execution of the first reach effect in the winning pattern is determined, the effect route is chanced at a rate of 100%. Determine the route. If the variation display result is an uncertain variation jackpot, that is, if the execution of the first reach effect in the defeat pattern is determined, the effect route is determined as the chance route at a rate of 100%. Further, if the variable display result is out of alignment, that is, if the execution of the first reach effect in the drawing pattern is determined, the effect route is determined to be the chance route at a rate of 50%, and the opportunity route is determined at a rate of 50%. The production route is determined to be the pinch route.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 selects the process table according to the effect route as the process table for executing the first reach effect, and proceeds to S290 (S282). In addition, the determination rate of the effect route shown in FIG. 15 is an example, and the effect route may be determined at a rate different from that of the present embodiment.

  On the other hand, in S283, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the second reach effect has been determined in S279. When the execution of the third reach effect is determined in S279 (S283; N), the process proceeds to S287, and when the execution of the second reach effect is determined in S279 (S283; Y), the operation prompt image is output from the random number circuit 124 or the like. A random number for display mode determination is extracted, and based on the extracted operation promotion image display mode determination random number, an operation promotion image display mode determination table (not shown), and a variable display result in the variable display, to the player. The final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image for prompting the operation of the push button 31B (the size of the image 230 of the push button 31B finally displayed as the operation promotion image) is determined (S284).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16(A), when the variation display result is a big hit (probability change big hit), the final display mode (size) of the image of the push button 31B is “large” at a rate of 80%. ", and 20% at a rate of "small". If the variable display result is out of order, the final display mode (size) of the image of the push button 31B is determined to be "large" at a rate of 20% and "large" at a rate of 80%. Note that the determination rate of the display mode of the operation promotion image in this embodiment is an example, and the display mode of the operation promotion image may be determined at a determination rate different from that of the present embodiment.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 extracts the display mode change number determination random number from the random number circuit 124 and the like, and extracts the display mode change number determination random number, the display mode change number determination table (not shown), and the determination in S284. Based on the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, the number of changes of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B, which is the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect, is changed once to three times. Either one is determined (S285). The operation suggestion image in the present embodiment is an image that suggests that the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed, that is, that the operation of the push button 31B is accepted.

  The second reach effect when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B which is the operation suggestion image is determined to be 1 is the image 210 of the white push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image. The image is changed to the operation promotion image (the image 230 of the push button 31B having the size “large” or “small”). In addition, the second reach effect when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B, which is the operation suggestion image, is determined to be 2 is the image 210 of the white push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image. After changing to the image 210 of the blue push button 31B, it is changed to the operation promotion image (the image 230 of the push button 31B having the size “large” or “small”). In addition, the second reach effect when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B, which is the operation suggestion image, is determined to be 3 times is the image 210 of the white push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image. After changing to the image 210 of the blue push button 31B, the image is further changed to the image 210 of the red push button 31B, and the operation promotion image (the image 230 of the push button 31B having the size “large” or “small”). Change to.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16B, when the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is “large”, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. The display mode change frequency is determined to be once at a rate of 10%, twice at a rate of 20%, and three times at a rate of 70%. When the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is “small”, the number of times the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image changes is 1 at a rate of 70%. 20%, 2 times, 10%, 3 times. It should be noted that the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the present embodiment is an example, and the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image at a rate different from that of the present embodiment. You may decide the number of changes of.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is determined to be 3, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is set to "large". There are both a case where it is displayed as a "small" and a case where it is displayed as "small", but when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is determined to be 3 times, The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image may be always displayed in "large". Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of changes in the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is determined to be one, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image becomes "large". There are both a case where it is displayed as a small display and a case where it is displayed as "small". The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image may be always displayed in "small".

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 uses, as a process table for executing the second reach effect, the final display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image and the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. A process table corresponding to the number of display mode changes is selected, and the process proceeds to S290.

  That is, in the second reach effect in the present embodiment, the color of the image 210 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation suggestion image changes in the order of white→blue→red, and the operation promotion image has different sizes (large or large). This is an effect in which the image 230 of the small push button 31B is displayed. Further, in the second reach effect in the present embodiment, when the image of the large push button 31B (the image 230 of the “large” push button 31B as the operation promotion image) is displayed as the operation promotion image, the operation promotion image becomes small. The variation display result is a big hit (probably strange big hit) and is displayed as an operation suggestion image at a higher rate than when the image of the push button 31B (the image 230 of the push button 31B of "small" as the operation promotion image) is displayed. The ratio of the image 230 of the "large" push button 31B as the operation promotion image is different depending on the color of the image 210 of the push button 31B.

  Specifically, when the image 210 of the red push button 31B is displayed as the operation suggestion image, the ratio of the image 230 of the “large” push button 31B as the operation promotion image is the highest, and the operation suggestion image is displayed. When the image 210 of the white push button 31B is displayed, the ratio of displaying the image 230 of the "large" push button 31B as the operation promotion image is the lowest. Therefore, in the second reach effect, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the color change (the number of display mode changes) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16B, in the present embodiment, when the number of times of changing the display mode of the operation suggestion image is determined to be 3 times (that is, the image 210 of the red push button 31B is displayed as the operation suggestion image. Even if the image 210 of the red push button 31B is displayed as the operation suggestion image, the image 230 of the “small” push button 31B may be displayed as the operation promotion image. It is possible for the player to pay attention to which of the image 230 of the “small” push button 31B and the image 230 of the “large” push button 31B is displayed as the production promotion image.

  In S287, the effect control CPU 120 determines one of pattern 1 to pattern 6 as the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect.

  As shown in FIG. 17(C) and FIG. 26(A), in the pattern 1, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestive image is displayed from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 from the center of the display area. Toward the end of the period L (see FIG. 26A, for example, 1.5 seconds), the image of these two push buttons 31B in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 period L1 (Fig. 26(A), for example, 0.7 seconds, overlapping (superimposing) and stopping, and two push buttons 31B as operation suggestion images at the stopped position (center of the display area of the effect display device 5). The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed instead of the image 210 of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 26(A), in the present embodiment, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as operation suggestion images are moved from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area. The period L to be made is longer than a period L1 (L>L1) in which the images of the two push buttons 31B are overlapped and stopped in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 26B, in the pattern 2, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed from the upper side of the display area of the effect display device 5 to the center of the display area. The image of the push button 31B is stopped at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, and the push button 31B as an operation suggestion image at the stopped position (center of the display area of the effect display device 5). The image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed instead of the image 210 of FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 26C, in the pattern 3, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is gradually displayed (appearance display) in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. ), and based on the completion of the gradual display of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image, the operation is promoted instead of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the center of the display area. This is a pattern for displaying the image 230 of the push button 31B as an image. That is, patterns 1 to 3 are patterns for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit (probably large hit).

  In Pattern 1 to Pattern 3, after the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, after the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, the player It is notified that the variable display result is a big hit based on the operation of the push button 31B or the elapse of the operation acceptance period.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 27A, in the pattern 4, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestive image is displayed from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5. The image of these two push buttons 31B is moved toward the center of the display device at a constant speed over the period L, and the image of these two push buttons 31B is shorter than the period L in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 (FIG. 27A). (Refer to L>L1), after overlappingly stopping, they are discretely (moved toward the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5, for example, the movement period is 0.5 seconds), and these two push buttons are used. It is a pattern in which the image of 31B is displayed as a failure highlighting display at left and right end portions of the display area of the effect display device 5 for a period L2 (L2>L1, for example, L2 is 1.0 second) longer than the period L1. .

  In the pattern 4, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is moved from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area at a constant speed over the period L. However, the period for moving the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 may be different. In this way, when the period 210 in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestive image is moved toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 is made different, the image of the push button 31B as the one operation suggestive image is made. The period in which 210 is moved toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 may be shorter than the period L1 in which the images of the two push buttons 31B are overlapped and displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5.

  In the present embodiment, the “period corresponding to failure highlighting” in the present invention is a period in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as operation suggestive images are displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5. Although it is set to L2, the "period corresponding to failure highlighting" includes a period in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as operation suggestive images are displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5. The period may include other displays.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the “period corresponding to the superimposed display” in the present invention is the period L1 in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 in an overlapping manner. However, if the “period corresponding to the superimposed display” includes the period in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestive image is displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, the other display is performed. It may be a period including.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 27B, in the pattern 5, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed from the upper side of the display area of the effect display device 5 to the center of the display area. The image of the push button 31B is stopped in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 for a predetermined period, and then the image of the push button 31B is displayed as failure highlighting on the effect display device 5. This is a pattern in which the lower end portion of the display area is stopped and displayed for a period L3 (L3:1.5 seconds>L2:1.0 seconds>L1:0.7 seconds) longer than the period L2.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 17C and 27C, in the pattern 6, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is tapped in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 for a predetermined period. After the gradual display (appearance display), the period L4 (L3:1.5 seconds>L2:1.0 seconds>L1:0.7 seconds>L4:0.3 seconds) shorter than the period L1 is displayed. This is a pattern in which the image of the push button 31B is displayed as failure highlighting and disappears (erases) from the center of the display area without completing the gradual display (appearance display). That is, patterns 4 to 6 are patterns for notifying that the variable display result is out of alignment. That is, in the present embodiment, when the display pattern of the image of the push button 31B in the third reach effect is pattern 4 to pattern 6, the failure highlighting period is different for each.

  Note that in S287, as shown in FIG. 17A, when the variation display result is the probability variation big hit, the display pattern of the image of the push button 31B in the third reach effect is set to the pattern 1 at a rate of 10%. Then, the pattern 2 is determined at a rate of 20%, and the pattern 3 is determined at a rate of 70%. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the display pattern of the image of the push button 31B in the third reach effect is determined to be pattern 1 at a rate of 70%, and 20 The pattern 5 is determined at a ratio of %, and the pattern 6 is determined at a ratio of 10%.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images are moved from the left and right sides of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area in the third reach effect. The ratio at which the variable display result is the big hit when the effect of stopping the images 210 of these two push buttons 31B in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 is performed (Pattern 1 or Pattern 4) Is low, the effect (Pattern 3 or Pattern 6) in which the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is gradually displayed (appearing display) in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 has the largest variation display result. The percentage that becomes is high. That is, in the present embodiment, an example in which the jackpot expectation degree differs according to the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, the big hit expectation degree of each display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect may be all or part of the same. Further, the order of the ratio of the variable display result to the big hit in each of these display patterns may be different from that in the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the period L4 is exemplified as a period shorter than the period L1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the period L4 is a period shorter than the period L2, the period L1. May be a longer period.

  Then, after the execution of S287, the effect control CPU 120 selects the process table corresponding to the display pattern of the image of the push button 31B as the process table for executing the third reach effect, and proceeds to S289 (S288).

  In addition, when the game state is in a low base state (normal state) (S277; N) or when the variation pattern of the variation display is a normal reach or non-reach variation pattern (S278; N), a variation pattern designation command A process table corresponding to the above is selected and the process proceeds to S290 (S289).

  Then, in S290, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the process table selected in any of S282, S288, and S289 (S290).

  In the process table, the display control execution data for controlling the display of the effect display device 5, the LED control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and the sound output from the speakers 8L, 8R are controlled. The sound control execution data, the operation section control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B, the stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). There is.

  Next, the production control CPU 120 follows the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) according to the production device (production display as production parts. The control of the device 5, various LEDs as effect parts, speakers 8L and 8R as effect parts, and the operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (S291). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the effect display device 5. In addition, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14 in order to control turning on/off of various LEDs. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (S292). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (S293). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right effect symbols to the VRAM every time the predetermined time has elapsed, and the display control unit 123 writes the image data to the VRAM. The signal corresponding to the image data is output to the effect display device 5, and the effect display device 5 displays the image corresponding to the signal, whereby the effect symbol is changed. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect during the process of changing the effect design (S75) (S294).

  18, FIG. 19, FIG. 21, FIG. 23, and FIG. 24 are flow charts showing the effect symbol changing process (S75) in the effect control process process. In the effect symbol variation process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the values of the process timer, the variation time timer, and the variation control timer by -1 (S301, S302, S303).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process timer has timed out (S306). If the process timer has timed out, the process data is switched (S307). That is, the process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value set next in the process table in the process timer (S308). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect parts) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. which are set next (S309a). On the other hand, when the process timer has not timed out, the production device (for production) is executed according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.). Control of parts) is executed (S309b).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not any one of the first reach effect, the second reach effect, and the third reach effect is being executed (S310, S311, S312).

  When it is not during any of the reach production execution periods (S310; N, S311; N, S312; N), it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation control timer has timed out (S313). When the fluctuation control timer is timed out (S313; Y), the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left-middle-right effect design (after 30 ms has elapsed since the display switching time of the last effect design). Image data of an image to be displayed) is created and written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (S314). In this way, the effect display device 5 realizes variation control of effect symbols. The display control unit 123 sends to the effect display device 5 a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table. Output. In this way, the effect display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the effect design in the change of the effect design. In addition, the fluctuation control timer is reset to a predetermined value (S315).

  If the variation control timer has not timed out (S313; N), after performing S315, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variation time timer has timed out (S316). If the variation time timer has timed out, the value of the production control process flag is updated to a value according to the production symbol variation stop processing (S76) (S318). Even if the variable time timer has not timed out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is set (S317; Y), the value of the production control process flag is the production symbol variation stop processing ( The value is updated to a value according to S76) (S318). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not timed out, it moves to the control to stop the fluctuation when the symbol confirmation designation command is received, so, for example, a fluctuation pattern designation command indicating a long fluctuation time due to noise between boards Even when it is received, it is possible to end the variation of the effect symbol when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol ends).

  In the process table used for the variation control of the effect symbol, the process data during the variable display of the effect symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer set values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variation time of the effect symbol. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n is timed out in the process of S306, there is no process data to be switched (display control execution data, LED control execution data, etc.), and the effect control of the effect symbol based on the process table ends. To do.

  On the other hand, when it is during the execution period of the first reach effect (S310; Y), it is determined whether or not the after-operation effect execution flag indicating that the after-operation effect described below is being executed is set ( S321). If the post-operation effect execution flag is set (S321; Y), the process proceeds to S333. If the post-operation effect execution flag is not set (S321; N), during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B. It is determined whether there is any (S322). If it is during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S322; Y), the process proceeds to S330, and if not during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S322; N), the image of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image. 210 is moved and displayed from the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area (S323).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the effect route of the first reach effect is a chance route (S324). When the effect route of the first reach effect is the chance route (S324; Y), the message images 220 of "win" and "draw" indicating the effect result of the first reach effect are displayed on each push button 31B. As a result suggestion image corresponding to the image of, the display is moved and displayed from the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area (S325). If the effect route of the first reach effect is the pinch route (S324; N), the message images 220 of "defeat!" and "draw!" indicating the effect result of the first reach effect are displayed. As a result suggestion image corresponding to the image of each push button 31B, it is moved and displayed from the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area (S326).

  After execution of S325 or S326, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S327). When it is not the operation reception start timing of the push button 31B (S327; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and when it is the operation reception start timing of the push button 31B (S327; Y), the display of the effect display device 5 is performed. The display of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image is started in the center of the area (S328), and the result suggestive image (the message image 220 of “win!” and “draw!” and “defeat!”) is displayed. The display of the message image 220 of "Drawing!" is ended (S329), and the process proceeds to S330.

  In S330, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the push button 31B has been operated. When the push button 31B is operated (S330; Y), the first post-operation effect for notifying the battle effect result in the first reach effect is being executed based on the operation of the push button 31B. The post-operation effect execution flag indicating that the process proceeds to S333 (S332). Further, when the push button 31B is operated (S330; N), it is the end timing of the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B. It is determined (S331). If it is the end timing of the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S331; Y), the post-operation effect execution flag is set and the process proceeds to S333 (S332). In addition, when it is not the end timing of the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S331; Y), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed and the effect during production symbol variation processing is ended.

  Then, in S333, the effect control CPU 120 executes the first post-operation effect execution process for executing the first post-operation effect, executes the processes of S313 to S318, and ends the effect symbol changing process.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the first post-operation effect execution process (S333) in the effect symbol changing process. In the first post-operation effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a later-described first post-operation effect process timer is operating (S401). When the production process timer after the first operation is not in operation (S401; N), it is further determined whether or not the variation display result is the probability variation big hit (probability variation big hit A or probability variation big hit B) (S402). When the variation display result is the probability variation big hit (S402; Y), the first post-operation effect process table for probability variation big hit is selected and the process proceeds to S407 (S403). When the variation display result is not the probability variation big hit (S402; N), it is determined whether the variation display result is the non-estimation variation big hit (S404). When the variation display result is the non-probable variation big hit (S404; Y), the first post-operation effect process table for the non-probability variation big hit is selected and the process proceeds to S407 (S405). ;N) selects the first post-operation effect process table for disengagement, and proceeds to S407 (S406).

  Then, in S407, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the first post-operation effect process table selected in any of S403, S405, and S406.

  In the first post-operation effect process table, display control execution data for controlling display of the effect display device 5, LED control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data for controlling the control buttons, operation section control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B, the stick controller 31A, etc. are associated with each process data n (1 to N) in time series. Are arranged in order.

  After that, the CPU 120 for effect control according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1), an effect display device (effect display as effect parts). The control of the device 5, various LEDs as effect parts, speakers 8L and 8R as effect parts, and operation parts (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed, and the first post-effect effect execution process is ended. (S408). For example, in order to display an image corresponding to the first reach effect on the effect display device 5, a command is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14 in order to control turning on/off of various LEDs. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  On the other hand, when the first post-operation effect process timer is operating in S401 (S401; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the first post-operation effect process timer by -1 (S409), and then performs the first operation. It is determined whether the post-production process timer has timed out (S410). When the first post-operation effect process timer has timed out (S410; Y), it is further determined whether or not the timer-out is the last first post-operation effect process timer (S411).

  If it is not the last first post-operation effect process timer that has timed out (S411; N), the first post-operation effect process data is switched (S412). That is, by setting the process timer set value set next in the first post-operation effect process table to the first post-operation effect process timer, the first post-operation effect process timer is restarted (S413). Also, the control state for the effect device (effect parts) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., which are set next, and after the first operation. The effect execution process ends (S414).

  In addition, when it is the last first after-operation effect process timer that has timed out in S411 (S411; Y), the after-operation effect execution flag is cleared and the first after-operation effect execution process ends ( S415).

  If the first post-operation effect process timer has not timed out in S410, the contents of the process data corresponding to the first post-operation effect process timer (display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, The control of the effect device (effect parts) is executed according to the operation unit control data, etc., and the first post-operation effect execution process is ended (S416).

  When it is determined that the second reach effect is being executed (S311; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the post-operation effect in-execution flag is set or not. Yes (S421). If the post-operation performance in-execution flag is set (S421; Y), the process proceeds to S434, and if the post-operation performance in-execution flag is not set (S421; N), further operation acceptance period of the push button 31B. It is determined whether or not it is in progress (S422). If it is during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S422; Y), the process proceeds to S431. If it is not during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S422; N), the push button 31B of the first stage as the operation suggestion image. It is determined whether it is the display start timing of the image (image 210 of the white push button 31B) (S423).

  When it is the display start timing of the image 210 of the first-step push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S423; Y), the first-step push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the display area of the effect display device 5. The display of the image 210 is started (S424). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the processing for changing the effect symbol is ended.

  If it is not the display start timing of the image 210 of the first-step push button 31B as the operation suggestion image (S423; N), the second-step push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. It is determined whether it is the display start timing of the image (image 210 of the blue push button 31B) (S425). When it is the display start timing of the image 210 of the push button 31B of the second stage as the operation suggestion image (S425; Y), the push button 31B of the second stage as the operation suggestion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. The display of the image 210 is started (S426). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the processing for changing the effect symbol is ended.

  If it is not the display start timing of the image 210 of the push button 31B of the second stage as the operation suggestion image (S425; N), the push button 31B of the third stage as the operation suggestion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. It is determined whether it is the display start timing of the image (image 210 of the red push button 31B) (S427). When it is the display start timing of the image 210 of the push button 31B of the third stage as the operation suggestion image (S427; Y), the push button 31B of the third stage as the operation suggestion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. The display of the image 210 is started (S428). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol changing processing.

  If it is not the display start timing of the image 210 of the push button 31B in the third stage as the operation suggestion image (S427; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B. A determination is made (S429). When it is not the operation reception start timing of the push button 31B (S429; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol changing processing, and when it is the operation reception start timing of the push button 31B (S429; Y). ), in place of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image, the display of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, the display mode (large or small) determined in S284 of the effect symbol variation start process. Starts and the process proceeds to S431.

  In S431, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the push button 31B has been operated. If the push button 31B is operated (S431; Y), the process proceeds to S433, and if the push button 31B is not operated (S431; N), it is determined whether it is the end timing of the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B. A determination is made (S432). When it is not the end timing of the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S432; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol changing process, and the end timing of the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B is reached. (S432; Y) proceeds to S433. In S433, the effect control CPU 120 sets the post-operation effect execution flag and proceeds to S434.

  Next, in S434, the effect control CPU 120 executes the second post-operation effect item process to execute the processes of S313 to S318, and ends the effect symbol changing process.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the second post-operation effect execution process (S434) in the effect symbol changing process. In the second post-production effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a second post-operation effect process timer, which will be described later, is in operation (S441). When the production process timer after the second operation is not in operation (S441; N), it is further determined whether or not the variation display result is a probability variation big hit (probability variation big hit A or probability variation big hit B) (S442). When the variation display result is the probability variation big hit (S442; Y), the second post-operation effect process table for probability variation big hit is selected and the process proceeds to S445 (S443). If the variable display result is out (S442; N), the second post-operation effect process table for out is selected and the process proceeds to S445 (S444).

  Then, in S445, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the second post-operation effect process table selected in S443 or S444.

  In the second post-operation effect process table, display control execution data for controlling display of the effect display device 5, LED control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sounds output from the speakers 8L, 8R. Sound control execution data for controlling the control buttons, operation section control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B, the stick controller 31A, etc. are associated with each process data n (1 to N) in time series. Are arranged in order.

  After that, the CPU 120 for effect control according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1), an effect display device (effect display as effect parts). The control of the device 5, various LEDs as effect parts, speakers 8L and 8R as effect parts, operation parts (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed, and the second post-operation effect execution processing is ended. (S446). For example, in order to display an image according to the second reach effect on the effect display device 5, a command is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14 in order to control turning on/off of various LEDs. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  On the other hand, if the second post-operation effect process timer is operating in S441 (S441; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the second post-operation effect process timer by 1 (S447), and then performs the second operation. It is determined whether the post-production process timer has timed out (S448). When the second post-operation effect process timer has timed out (S448; Y), it is further determined whether or not the timer-out is the final second post-operation effect process timer (S449).

  If it is not the last second post-operation effect process timer that has timed out (S449; N), the second post-operation effect process data is switched (S450). That is, the second post-operation production process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value set next in the second post-production production process table in the second post-production production process timer (S451). In addition, the control state for the effect device (effect parts) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, and the like that are set next, and after the second operation. The effect execution process ends (S452).

  In addition, when it is the last second after-operation effect process timer that has timed out in S449 (S449; Y), the after-operation effect execution flag is cleared and the second after-operation effect execution process is ended ( S454).

  If the second post-operation effect process timer has not timed out in S448 (S448; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the second post-operation effect process timer (display control execution data, LED control execution data, The effect device (effect parts) is controlled according to the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., and the second post-operation effect execution process is ended (S453).

  When it is determined to be in the execution period of the third reach effect (S312; Y), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the post-operation effect execution period flag is set or not. A determination is made (S461). When the post-operation performance execution period flag is set (S461; Y), the process proceeds to S480, and when the post-operation performance execution period flag is not set (S461; N), the push button 31B operation reception period. It is determined whether or not it is in progress (S462). If it is during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S462; Y), the process proceeds to S476, and if it is not during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B (S462; N), whether or not it is during the failure highlighting period. Is determined (S463).

  If it is during the failure highlighting period (S463; Y), the process proceeds to S482, and if it is not during the failure highlighting period (S463; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect. It is determined whether the display pattern of is the pattern 1 or the pattern 4 (S464). In the case of pattern 1 or pattern 4 (S464; Y), during the period in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is moved toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 (two push buttons). It is determined whether it is during the moving display period of the image of 31B) (S465).

  When the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B is in the moving period (S465; Y), the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestive progress image is displayed on the left and right end sides in the display area of the effect display device 5. Is displayed toward the center from, and the process proceeds to S473 (S466). If the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B is not in the moving period (S465; N), the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is stopped at the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. The images of the two push buttons 31B are displayed so as to overlap each other (overlap display) (S467). Then, the process proceeds to S473.

  If the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is not pattern 1 or pattern 4 in S464 (S464; N), the push button as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect. It is determined whether the display pattern of the image 210 of 31B is the pattern 2 or the pattern 5 (S468). When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B is the pattern 2 or the pattern 5 (S468; Y), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is further directed to the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. It is determined whether or not it is during the period of moving the image by the push button 31B (during the moving display period of the image of the push button 31B) (S469).

  When the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is in the moving period (S469; Y), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed from the upper end side in the display area of the effect display device 5. The display is moved toward the center, and the process proceeds to S473 (S470). When the image 210 of the push button 31B is not in the moving period (S469; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 (S471). ), and proceeds to S473.

  When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is the pattern 3 or the pattern 6 in S468 (S468; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed on the effect display device 5. Is gradually displayed (appearance display) in the center of the display area (S472), and the process proceeds to S473.

  Next, in S473, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is any of pattern 1 to pattern 3, that is, the variable display result is It is determined whether or not it is a probability variation big hit. When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is any of pattern 4 to pattern 6 (S473; N), the process proceeds to S481 as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect. When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B is any of pattern 1 to pattern 3 (S473; N), it is determined whether it is the operation acceptance start timing of the push button 31B (S474). When it is not the operation reception start timing of the push button 31B (S474; N), the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol changing processing, and when it is the operation reception start timing of the push button 31B (S474; Y). ) Starts displaying the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5, and proceeds to S476.

  In S476, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the push button 31B has been operated. When the push button 31B is operated (S476; Y), the process proceeds to S478, and when the push button 31B is not operated (S476; N), it is further determined whether it is the operation acceptance end timing of the push button 31B. Yes (S477). If it is the operation acceptance end timing of the push button 31B (S477; Y), the process proceeds to S478. If it is not the operation acceptance end timing of the push button 31B, the processes of S313 to S318 are executed to end the effect symbol variation process. .

  Then, in S478, the effect control CPU 120 sets the after-operation effect execution flag and executes the third after-operation effect execution process (S480). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol changing processing.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the third post-operation effect execution process (S480) in the effect symbol changing process. In the third post-operation effect execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a third post-operation effect process timer, which will be described later, is in operation (S501). When the third post-operation effect process timer is not in operation (S501; N), the third post-operation effect process table corresponding to the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is selected (S502), The process timer in the process data 1 of the selected post-operation production process table for the third operation is started (S503).

  In the third post-operation effect process table, display control execution data for controlling display of the effect display device 5, LED control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data for controlling the control buttons, operation section control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B, the stick controller 31A, etc. are associated with each process data n (1 to N) in time series. Are arranged in order.

  After that, the CPU 120 for effect control according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1), an effect display device (effect display as effect parts). Control of the device 5, various LEDs as effect parts, speakers 8L and 8R as effect parts, and operation parts (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed, and the third post-operation effect execution process is ended. (S504). For example, in order to display an image corresponding to the third reach effect on the effect display device 5, a command is output to the display control unit 123. In addition, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14 in order to control turning on/off of various LEDs. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sound from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  On the other hand, when the second post-operation effect process timer is operating in S501 (S501; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the second post-operation effect process timer by -1 (S505). Then, it is determined whether or not the post-third operation effect process timer has timed out (S506). When the third post-operation effect process timer has timed out (S506; Y), it is further determined whether or not the timer-out is the final third post-operation effect process timer (S507).

  When it is not the final third post-operation effect process timer that has timed out (S507; N), the third post-operation effect process data is switched (S508). That is, by setting the process timer set value set next in the third post-operation effect process table to the third post-operation effect process timer, the third post-operation effect process timer is restarted (S509). In addition, the control state for the effect device (effect parts) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc. set next, and after the third operation. The effect execution process is ended (S510).

  In addition, when it is the final third post-operation effect process timer that has timed out in S507 (S507; Y), the post-operation effect executing flag is cleared and the third post-operation effect executing process is ended ( S512).

  If the third post-operation effect process timer has not timed out in S506 (S506; N), the contents of the process data corresponding to the third post-operation effect process timer (display control execution data, LED control execution data, The effect device (effect parts) is controlled according to the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., and the third post-operation effect execution process is ended (S511).

  Returning to the process of changing the effect symbol, in S481, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is in the period of failure highlighting. If it is not during the failure highlighting period (S481; N), the process of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect of the production symbol variation, and if it is during the failure highlighting period (S481; Y), the process proceeds to S482. move on. In S482, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 4. When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 4 (S482; Y), the images of the two push buttons 31B are displayed on the effect display device 5 as failure highlighting. A stop display is displayed at the left and right ends of the area (S483). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed, and the processing for changing the effect symbol is ended.

  When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is not pattern 4 (S482; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is displayed. It is determined whether the display pattern is pattern 5 (S484). When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 5 (S484; Y), the image 210 of the push button 31B is displayed as the failure highlighting in the display area of the effect display device 5. A stop display is displayed at the lower end of (S485). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol changing processing.

  When the display pattern of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image in the third reach effect is the pattern 6 (S484; N), the image 210 of the push button 31B is displayed as failure highlighting on the effect display device 5. It disappears from the center (display is terminated) (S486). Then, the processing of S313 to S318 is executed to end the effect symbol changing processing.

  Next, a display mode of the effect display device 5 when the first reach effect is executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. First, as shown in FIG. 28(A) and FIG. 28(B), when the effect symbols are stopped in the "left" and "right" effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R in the combination of reach, the effect display device 5 is on the side. The character and the enemy character are displayed, and the first reach effect is started. Next, as shown in FIGS. 28(C) and 28(D), when execution of the chance route is determined in the first reach effect, the teammate character attacks the enemy character.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 28(E), images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as operation suggestion images are displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5. At this time, above the image 210 of the push button 31B displayed at the left end of the display area of the effect display device 5, an image of the push button 31B is provided as a result suggestion image corresponding to the effect content of the first post-operation effect.

It is possible to have it and improve the enjoyment of the game.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, a mode in which the period for performing the failure highlighting display is different in all the patterns 4 to 6 of the third reach effect is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. The period in which failure highlighting is performed may be the same in all of the patterns 4 to 6 of the third reach effect, or the period in which failure highlighting is performed in at least one pattern is different from other patterns. It may be different from the period in which failure highlighting is performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 32, when the third reach effect is executed in the pattern 4 in which the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is not displayed, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image. Are displayed so as to overlap in the center of the display area from the left and right ends of the effect display device 5, and the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as these operation suggestive images are displayed from the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. It is possible to emphasize that the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is not displayed by separating the display area toward the left and right ends, so that the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed. Can further motivate you to.

  In the present embodiment, when the third reach effect is executed in the pattern 4 in which the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is not displayed, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is effected. After moving and displaying the left and right ends of the display device 5 so as to overlap each other in the center of the display area, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as these operation suggestive images is displayed from the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. Although the form in which the regions are separated toward the left and right ends is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the third reach effect is performed in the pattern 4, 2 as the operation suggestion image. After the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B are moved and displayed so as to overlap from the left and right ends of the effect display device 5 in the center of the display area, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as these operation suggestion images is displayed on the effect display device. By deleting the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image, it is emphasized that the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image is not displayed by giving a surprise to the player by deleting the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promoting image. The display may be further motivated.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 26(A) and 27(A), when the third reach effect is executed in the pattern 1 or the pattern 4, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed. The period L in which the display area of the device 5 is moved and displayed from the left and right ends toward the center is a period in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as operation suggestive images are overlapped and displayed in the center of the display region of the effect display device 5. Since the period is longer than L1, it is possible to secure a period in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is moved and displayed, so that the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed. The player's attention can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, when the third reach effect is executed by the pattern 1 or the pattern 4, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed from the left and right end portions of the display area of the effect display device 5. A form in which a period L in which the image is moved and displayed toward the center is longer than a period L1 in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as operation suggestive images is overlapped and displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 (L>L1). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the period L1 in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is overlapped and displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 is A period (L1≧L) longer than a period L in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is moved and displayed from the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center. Good.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27A, when the third reach effect is executed in the pattern 4, the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed on the effect display device 5. In the period L2 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images are displayed in the left and right end portions of the display area of the effect display device 5 as failure highlighting, rather than in the period L1 in which the display is overlapped in the center of the display area. Since it is longer, it is possible to emphasize the disappointment that the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is not displayed, and to display the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image to the player. Can further motivate you to.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, when the third reach effect is executed in the pattern 4, the period L1 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images are overlapped and displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5. Rather, the period L2 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images are displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 as the failure highlighting is longer (L2>L1). Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the period L1 in which the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images are overlapped and displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 fails. A period (L1≧L2) having a length equal to or longer than the period L2 in which the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed at the left and right ends of the display area of the effect display device 5 as the highlighted display may be used. ..

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configurations are not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. Be done.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, as the second reach effect, a mode is performed in which the display mode (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changed based on the passage of the change time, that is, the effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect of changing the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is a big hit game. As a look-ahead notice effect that suggests that the state is controlled, it may be executed over a plurality of variable displays. That is, the "predetermined period before the motion promotion display is displayed" in the present invention means that the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed after the second reach effect is started in the variable display of 1. In addition to the period until the image is displayed, the period until the variable display is executed a plurality of times and the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed is also included. Further, when the effect corresponding to the second reach effect is executed as an effect other than the reach effect such as the changing notice effect, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed after the effect is started. The period until it corresponds to the "predetermined period before the display of the motion promotion display" in the present invention.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display mode (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image can be changed based on the passage of the change time in the second reach effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, as the operation promotion image, in addition to the image 230 of the push button 31B, an image 240 of the operation means (for example, the stick controller 31A) that can be operated by the player other than the push button 31B can be displayed. The post-operation effect (second post-operation effect) may be executed based on the player operating the operation means displayed as the operation promotion image. When the image 230 of the push button 31B and the image 240 of the stick controller 31A can be displayed as the operation promotion image in this way, the image 240 of the stick controller 31A should be displayed as the operation promotion image in accordance with the variation display result. And determining that the image 230 of the push button 31B is displayed at different ratios, and determining that the image 240 of the stick controller 31A is displayed as the operation promotion image and displaying the image of the push button 31B. The number of changes in the display mode of the operation suggestion image may be determined at different rates than when it is determined.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 36(A) to FIG. 36(F) as a first modification, when execution of the pre-reading notice effect is determined in a state where a plurality of holding memories are stored, first, the effect. An image 210 of a white push button 31B as an operation suggestion image is displayed in the center of the display area of the display device 5. Then, the display mode of the image of the push button 31B (the color of the image of the push button 31B) as the operation suggestion image may be changed every time the variable display is ended or a new variable display is started. Then, as shown in FIGS. 36(D) to 36(F), instead of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image, in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 during the variable display of the prefetch target. The images 230 and 240 of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A as the operation promotion image are displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 36(A) to 36(F), when the second reach effect in the above-described embodiment is executed as the look-ahead notice effect, a predetermined position (for example, the lower left portion) of the display area of the effect display device 5 is executed. It is also possible to make it easier to understand that the pre-reading notice effect is being executed over a plurality of variable displays by displaying the number of reserved memories in ().

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display form (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changeable in the second reach effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. During the second reach effect, a suggestion effect suggesting that the jackpot gaming state is controlled may be executed as an effect different from the second reach effect.

  Specifically, as a modified example 2, as shown in FIGS. 37(A) to 37(F), the button operation effect is displayed while the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect is displayed. Run. In the button operation effect, as shown in FIG. 37(E), a button operation effect is displayed at the right end portion of the display area of the effect display device 5 as a position not overlapping the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. The operation promotion image is displayed and the operation of the push button 31B is accepted. Then, as shown in FIG. 37(F), by displaying the operation of the push button 31B by the player, by displaying a mini character, dialogue, or the like on the right end portion of the display area of the effect display device 5, It suffices to suggest that the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit game state is controlled.

  As described above, in the second modified example, while the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect is being displayed, the button operation effect that does not correspond to the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. By making the game executable, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game. Furthermore, the button operation effect in the present modification 2 does not overlap the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image displayed in the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 so as not to overlap with the display area of the effect display device 5. Since it is displayed at the right end portion of, the display of the button operation effect can be prevented from being obscured by the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image.

  In the second modified example, while the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect is being displayed, the button operation effect as an effect that does not correspond to the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and during the display of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect, other than the button operation effect. The effect may be executable.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display mode (color) of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changeable in the second reach effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIGS. 38(A) to 38(C) as a modified example 3, it is possible to execute an action effect in which a character or the like acts on the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image during the second reach effect. The display mode (color) of the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed based on the execution of the action effect. Further, when the action effect can be executed in the second reach effect as described above, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed as shown in FIG. 38D even if the action effect is executed. By providing the case where the mode does not change, the player may be allowed to pay attention to whether or not the display mode of the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image changes due to the action effect.

  Further, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28(E), in the first reach effect, after the images 210 of the two push buttons 31B in the same display mode are overlapped and displayed as the operation suggestion image, the operation promotion image is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the two images 210 of the push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images are displayed in different modes. The image 230 of the push button 31B may be displayed as the operation promotion image in a manner that the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion images having different modes may be specified.

  Specifically, as a modified example 4, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image moving from the left end portion of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area is used as the effect after the first operation effect. The image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image that moves from the right end of the display area of the effect display device 5 toward the center of the display area of the effect display device 5 indicating that the result is a win is the image after the first operation effect. It suffices to display the effect result in blue indicating that it is a draw, and display the left half of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image in red and the right half in blue. By doing so, the player can specify the display mode of the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image from the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, and in the first post-production effect. Since the effect result can be predicted from the color of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image, the interest of the first post-operation effect can be improved.

  In the fourth modification, the display mode of the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image can be specified by the color of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image. Is not limited to this, and the display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image can be specified as long as the display mode of the image 210 of the two push buttons 31B as the operation suggestion image can be specified. Good.

  Further, in the modified example 1, the second reach effect in the embodiment is executed as the prefetching announcement effect over a plurality of variable displays, that is, a plurality of display modes of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image. Although an example is shown in which the image 230 of the push button 31B is finally displayed as the operation promotion image by changing the display over the variable display of the number of times, the present invention is not limited to this and the fifth modification. As a variation display under a specific condition a plurality of times (for example, a period corresponding to the variation display up to 30 times after the end of the big hit game (eg, a special variation period shorter than the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-1)) The gaming state is based on the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled by the ST machine (the gaming state is controlled to the high-accuracy high-base state after the end of the big hit game, and the fluctuation display is executed a specific number of times), during which the selection ratio of shortened fluctuations is high If the game state is a low-precision low base state or a high-precision high-base state controlled pachinko machine, the game state is controlled from the high-precision high-base state to the low-precision low-base state or high-precision high-base state 30 The image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed in the display region of the effect display device 5 over the display of the variable display, and the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changed. Then, finally, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image may be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. After the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5, the variable display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit) based on the operation of the push button 31B by the player, Alternatively, it may be notified that it is out.

  In such a case, during the period corresponding to the variable display up to, for example, 30 times after the end of the big hit game, the pending display in which the change display result is a big hit occurs, and the change pattern of the super reach changes. The display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed based on the occurrence of the pending storage for display. By doing so, the player can be made to pay attention to the display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation promotion image due to the change of the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image, You can improve the fun of playing games. In the fifth modification, the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is changed based on the occurrence of the pending storage in which the variable display result is a big hit, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is not limited to this, and the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed even in the case of a pending storage in which a variable display of super-reach deviation or normal reach deviation is performed. In addition, a plurality of conditions for changing the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image are provided, and any one of the conditions is satisfied (for example, the above-mentioned pending display in which the variable display result is a big hit occurs. ), the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image may be changed.

  Furthermore, even if there is no pending storage in which these variation display results are a big hit or variation display of super reach is performed, operation is performed based on the fact that the variation display is performed a predetermined number of times. You may change the display mode of the image 210 of the push button 31B as a suggestion image. By doing so, the image 210 of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed even when there is no pending storage in which the variable display result is a big hit or pending storage in which the variable display is performed in the variation pattern of super reach. Since the display mode of can be changed, the player can be made to pay attention to the display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B displayed as the operation promotion image during the variable display of the predetermined number of times. Can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the present modification 5, when a pending storage that causes the variable display result to be a big hit occurs during a plurality of variable display under specific conditions, the remaining variable display count in the variable display where the variable display result is a big hit. After performing the temporary stop/re-variation of the effect symbol for the number of times corresponding to, the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5, and the push button 31B is displayed by the player. It suffices to notify that the variation display result is a big hit based on the operation.

  Further, when the second reach effect is executed and the variable display result is a big hit (probability change big hit) in the embodiment, after displaying the image of the push button 31B as the motion promoting image in the display area of the effect display device 5. The example in which the player performs the second post-operation effect based on the operation of the push button 31B and notifies that the variable display result is a big hit (probable variation big hit) has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a modified example 6, when the second reach effect is executed and the variable display result is a big hit (probably strange big hit), the image of the push button 31B as the operation suggestion image is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. After displaying 210, it is possible to provide a case where the second post-operation effect is executed without displaying the image of the push button 31B as the motion promoting image to notify that the variable display result is a big hit (probably strange big hit). Good. By doing so, the game can be made to have an unexpectedness, and the enjoyment of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a mode in which only one display mode of the image 230 of the push button 31B as the operation promotion image when executing the third reach effect is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, as a seventh modification, a plurality of operation promotion image display modes may be provided when executing the third reach effect. As described above, when a plurality of operation promotion image display modes for performing the third reach effect are provided, the operation promotion image in the first display mode (for example, the image of the white push button 31B as the operation promotion image is displayed. ) And an operation promotion image of the second display mode (for example, an image of the red push button 31B as the operation promotion image) in which the proportion of being controlled to the big hit game state is higher than the operation promotion image of the first display mode, When the operation promotion image is displayed in the first display mode while being provided, an operation suggestion image corresponding to the first display mode (for example, an image of the white push button 31B as the operation suggestion image) can be displayed, When the operation promotion image is displayed in the second display mode, the operation suggestion image corresponding to the second display mode (for example, the image of the red push button 31B as the operation suggestion image) can be displayed, The player may be focused on the display mode of the operation suggestion image. Furthermore, when the third reach effect is executed in any one of pattern 1 to pattern 3 for displaying the operation promotion image, the operation promotion image is displayed in the second display mode (the image of the red push button 31B as the operation promotion image). Even if it is displayed, the operation suggestion image corresponding to the first display mode (the image of the white push button 31B as the operation suggestion image) is displayed to give the player unexpectedness and the operation promotion image The interest in displaying may be improved.

  Further, in the embodiment, in the variable display of the change pattern of the super reach, any one of the first reach effect to the third reach effect as the action suggestion effect and the operation effect in the present invention has been exemplified, but The action suggestion effect and the action effect in the invention may be executed as a changing notice effect before the reach effect in the variable display, or an effect of notifying the number of rounds of the big hit game during the big hit game, or a big hit game. It may be executed as an effect that informs whether or not the probability variation control is executed after the end.

  Further, in the embodiment, in the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach, only one of the first reach effect to the third reach effect is executed as the operation suggestion effect and the operation effect in the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any one of these first reach effect to third reach effect is being effected in another effect (for example, the previously-changing notice effect, etc.) that is currently displayed in the fluctuation display. As a result, the action suggestion effect and the action effect according to the present invention may be executed twice or more during the same variable display.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A are exemplified as the detecting means in the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the detecting means of the present invention can detect the proximity of the player. It may be an infrared sensor that can be detected or a motion sensor that can detect the motion of the player.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a predetermined number of gaming balls are inside the gaming machine. The number of balls used for the game is subtracted while the number of balls used for the game is added, while the number of balls used for the game is added, and the number of balls used for the game is added. The present invention can be applied to a so-called enclosed game machine that is stored in memory. In addition, since points and points are given to the player instead of the game balls in these enclosed gaming machines, these given points and points correspond to the game value.

  Further, in the embodiment, an example in which one variation pattern designation command is transmitted at the start of variation in order to notify the variation CPU of the variation control indicating the variation mode such as the variation time and the type of reach production to the production control CPU 120 Although shown, 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, the CPU 103 indicates, for example, the variation time and variation mode before the reach is reached (before the so-called second stop when the reach is not reached) with the first command. The command shown is transmitted, and the second command indicates the variation time and variation mode after reaching the reach (after the so-called second stop if the reach is not reached), such as the type of reach and the presence/absence of re-lottery effect. The command may be transmitted, or only the variation time is notified by the first command and the second command, and the specific variation mode executed at each timing is the effect control CPU 120. Alternatively, the selection may be performed. When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, and a predetermined period of time has passed after the first command was sent (for example, the next timer interrupt). (In) the second command may be transmitted. By thus notifying the variation pattern by two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data that must be stored as the variation pattern designation command.

  Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the form in which the game ball is shot from the lower side of the game area by the hitting ball launching device has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the hitting ball launching device is the pachinko gaming machine 1 The game ball may be launched from a position above the game area by being provided above the game area.

  Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, by exemplifying a form in which only the big hit that can obtain a large number of game balls can be generated by opening the big winning opening in the big hit game, the present invention is not limited to this. However, for example, the probability variation jackpot B is made suddenly shorter by the occurrence of the probability variation jackpot B by making the opening time of the jackpot in the round game significantly shorter so that the player does not recognize that the jackpot has been opened. It may be used as a sudden jackpot that makes you look like a sudden change. Incidentally, in the case of making these probability variation big hit B suddenly big hit, a small hit for opening the big winning opening is provided in the same opening pattern as the big winning opening opening pattern in the big hit game of the probability variation big hit B, A state (so-called latent state) in which it is unclear whether the gaming state after the occurrence of the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is the high accuracy state or the low accuracy state may be generated. Furthermore, when a small hit is provided, the small hit is frequently made in a high base (high-probability high base state or low-probability high base condition), and the player can continuously obtain a prize ball by these frequent small hits. You may do it. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine in which the player can continuously obtain a prize ball by such a small hit, the effects corresponding to the first reach effect to the third reach effect in the above-described embodiment are executed, and these effects are performed. It may be possible to fuel whether the state in which small hits frequently occur continues or ends.

  Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the starting winning opening is exemplified as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the starting winning opening is not limited to this. There may be only one or three or more starting winning openings.

  Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the special symbol is illustrated as a form in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are two, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one special symbol. Or, the special symbol may be 3 or more.

  In the embodiment, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B variably display a plurality of types of special symbols including the final stop symbol that is the display result, and then the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the variable display of a plurality of types of special symbols without including the final stop symbol that is the display result, the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed. May be That is, the final stop symbol that is the display result may be a symbol different from the special symbol used for the variable display.

  The advantageous state for the player means a specific game state (big hit etc.) which is advantageous for the player in which the player can obtain many game media, and a plurality of specific game states in which the expected value of the obtainable game medium is different ( Big hits with different numbers of rounds, etc., high base state (time saving state) where the condition of prize ball payout is easier to be established than normal game state, high probability game state with high probability of becoming the specific game state (high probability state) ), a highly accurate low base state (latent latency change state), a special reach state (for example, super reach, etc.), a state in which the variation pattern is a variation pattern based on the jackpot variation pattern, and the like.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine as an example of a gaming machine, but the game is started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, for example. One game is completed by deriving the variable display result to the effect display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified, and the variable display result derived to the effect display device is displayed.
