FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The game machine of the present embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 (game control means) and a sub board 102. The functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub board 102 include hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of information storage medium), or RAM. It is realized by software consisting of a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

The main board 100 is provided from input means such as a passing gate sensor 104, a first start winning opening sensor 106, a second starting winning opening sensor 108, a first large winning opening sensor 110, a second large winning opening sensor 112, and a payout sensor 116. In response to the input signal of, various calculations for executing the game are performed, and based on the calculation results, the status display drive device 120, the ordinary accessory drive device 122, the first special accessory drive device 124, and the second special It controls the operation of output means such as the accessory driving device 126 and the payout device 130.

Further, the sub-board 102 receives the signal sent from the main board 100 and the input signal from the effect button switch 150, and performs various calculations for executing the effect according to the progress of the game, and the calculation result. Based on the above, the operation of the effect device 176 such as the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, and the effect object drive device 174 is controlled.

Then, the main board 100 includes a random number generating means 210, a normal lottery means 220, a normal display control means 222, a normal accessory control means 224, a special lottery means 230, a special display control means 240, a game state transition control means 250, and a special game execution. It is configured to include means 260, a small hit game execution means 262, a payout control means 270, a communication control means 280, and a main memory 290.

The random number generation means 210 is a means for generating a random number value for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator that generates a hardware random number or a program that generates a software random number. The software random number can be generated, for example, based on the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the "random number value" includes not only a value that randomly occurs in a mathematical sense, but also a value that is generated regularly, but the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Also includes values that can function as random numbers.

The ordinary lottery means 220 acquires a random number value for ordinary lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the passing gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the passing gate 39 one by one. It is stored in the ordinary random number storage means 2912 of the main memory 290, and the ordinary lottery is performed to determine whether or not the ordinary lottery random number value read from the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is correct or not.

Specifically, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is provided with four ordinary hold storage areas 1 to 4 as ordinary hold storage areas 1 as storage areas for storing the acquired random number values for ordinary lottery. One ordinary hold storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the random number value for the ordinary lottery read from the area 1 and performing the ordinary lottery until the variation display and the stop display of the ordinary symbol are completed. Then, when the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the ordinary lottery random number value from the random number generating means 210, the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the ordinary lottery random number value in a state where the ordinary lottery random number value is not stored in any of the ordinary hold storage areas 1 to the ordinary hold storage area 4. First, the random number value for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary hold storage area 1. Then, when the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1, the normal symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the normal lottery random value is not stored in the normal hold storage area. When the control for opening the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed, the normal lottery random value is immediately read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery is performed. The random value for use is stored in the normal hold storage area. On the other hand, whether the normal symbol is in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area, or the execution of the control for opening the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55. If it is, the normal lottery random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1.

Then, when the detection signal is further input from the passing gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random number value is acquired in the state where the normal lottery random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1, the normal lottery means 220 , On the condition that the number of ordinary lottery random numbers held in the ordinary hold storage areas 1 to 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of ordinary hold is less than 4. The normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area which is the normal hold storage area in which the normal lottery random number value is not held and has the smallest ordinal number among the normal hold storage areas 1 to the normal hold storage area 4.

Then, when the change display and the stop display of the normal symbol are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random value stored in the normal hold storage area, and the normal lottery random value is set in the normal hold storage area 1. When it is held, the normal lottery is performed by reading the random number value for the normal lottery from the normal hold storage area 1 on condition that the control for opening the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed. The random number value for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is performed is stored in the ordinary hold storage area. Here, when the normal lottery random number value remains after the normal hold storage area 2, the remaining normal lottery random number value is the normal hold storage area whose ordinal number is one less than the original normal hold storage area. Move to. For example, when the normal lottery random number value remains in the normal hold storage area 2 to the normal hold storage area 3, it is moved to the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 2.

In this way, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, the random number value for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is performed is held up to one in the ordinary hold storage area, and the random number value for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is not performed is stored in the ordinary hold storage. Areas 1 to 4 are reserved in the normal hold storage area 4, up to a maximum of four.

The details of the ordinary lottery will be described below. The ordinary lottery means 220 performs ordinary hit determination processing, ordinary fluctuation pattern determination processing, and the like as ordinary lottery.

The normal hit determination process is a process for determining whether or not a normal hit is correct. In the ordinary winning determination process, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to which of the plurality of types of ordinary lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the game state.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the ordinary lottery table A and the ordinary lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910, and in each ordinary lottery table, each of the 100 ordinary lottery random values from 0 to 99 is stored. On the other hand, normal hits or losses are associated. In detail, in the ordinary lottery table A, the correspondence between the ordinary hit or the loss and a plurality of random values is set so that the ordinary hit is won with a probability of about 13/20, and in the ordinary lottery table B, about 19 / The correspondence between the normal hit or loss and the normal lottery random value of 0 to 99 is set so that the normal win is won with a probability of 20.

The opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, and the normal accessory 55 is controlled to the open state more frequently than in the normal state and the special state, and the period is longer. As described above, the passing gate 48 is provided so that the game ball falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 passes through the passing gate 48 with high probability, and the second starting winning opening 53 is provided. Since the game balls that have passed through the passage gate 48 are provided so as to reach within 5 seconds, most of the game balls that fall in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 in the probabilistic state are the second start winning opening 53. It is designed to enter.

As for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. , It is more advantageous for the player to hit right so that the game ball enters the second start winning opening 53. In the probabilistic state, the winning probability of the small hit is set to about 1/2 for the special lottery, but since most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second starting winning opening 53, it is small. Even if the winning game is executed, the game ball rarely enters the second large winning opening 56.

Further, the probability change state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state reaches a predetermined predetermined number of times, and the state is shifted to the special state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the specified number of times is 100 times, 80 times, 60 times, 40 times, 20 times or 1 time for each of the 16 round probability variation symbols A to 16 round probability variation symbols K and the 2 round probability variation symbols. When the special gaming state, which is predetermined to either one and is started based on the winning of each probabilistic symbol, is completed, the game state transition control means 250 has a value corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each probabilistic symbol ( For example, 80) is written to the specified number of times counter 2930 of the main memory 290. Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the probability change state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games played from the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930, and the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is changed. When the threshold (for example, 0) is reached, the probabilistic state is terminated and the special state is started.

The special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state reaches the specified number of times, or when the special game state started based on the fact that the 16 round probability change symbol E is won is completed. If you win a big hit in a special lottery in a special state, you will be transferred to a special game state. Then, in the special state, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like, in the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set to about 13/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 2 seconds, as in the normal state. The opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 3 seconds, and the normal accessory 55 is controlled to the open state less frequently and for a shorter period of time than in the probabilistic state and the time saving state. Of the game balls that fall in the game area 4 on the right side, many game balls pass through the right passage 52 without entering the second start winning opening 53, but if the right-handed hit is continued, the second start is held. 2 The game ball enters the second starting winning opening 53 to the extent that the special random number value is not lost.

As for the special lottery, unlike the normal state, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. Many, and the probability of winning a small hit is set to be extremely high, about 1/2, and the small hit game is frequently executed. Therefore, a game that passes through the right passage 52 without entering the second starting winning opening 53. The ball can easily enter the second prize opening 56. Therefore, in the special state, it is more advantageous for the player to hit right so that the game ball enters the second large winning opening 56.

In addition, when the special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state reaches the specified number of times, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability change state and the special state is set in advance as the probability change number. If the game ends on the condition that it reaches the specified 10,000 times, and on the other hand, if the game is started when the special game state ends, the number of times the special lottery is held in the special state is set in advance as the probability variation number. It ends on the condition that it reaches the above 10,000 times, and shifts to the normal state. Specifically, the game state transition control means 250 has a main memory 290 when the gaming state is shifted to the probabilistic state after the end of the special gaming state, or when the gaming state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special gaming state. A value equivalent to 10000 times (for example, 10000) is written in the probability variation counter 2931 as a specified number of times, and each time a special lottery is performed in the probability variation state or a special state, it corresponds to the number of games played once from the stored value of the probability variation counter 2931. The decrement update is performed by subtracting the value (for example, 1) to be used. Then, when the stored value of the probability variation counter 2931 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the special state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the special state, the winning probability of the jackpot in the special lottery is set to about 1/50, so the jackpot is won and the special game is won before the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probabilistic state or the special state reaches 10,000 times. Most of the time, the state is started, and there is almost no transition from the special state to the normal state. That is, the special state is substantially continued until the jackpot is won.

The time saving state is started when the special game state started based on the winning of either the 16th round normal symbol A to the 16th round normal symbol B or the 2nd round normal symbol is completed, and the special game state in the time saving state is started. If you win a big hit in the lottery, you will be transferred to the special game state. Then, in the time saving state, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like, in the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set to about 19/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 0. Since it is set to 5 seconds and the opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 enter the second start winning opening 53. It has become.

Regarding the special lottery, although the jackpot winning probability is set as low as about 1/315, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. In the time saving state, it is more advantageous for the player to hit right so that the game ball enters the second start winning opening 53. In the short time state, the probability of winning a small hit is set to about 1/5 for the special lottery, but since most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second starting winning opening 53, it is small. Even if the winning game is executed, the game ball rarely enters the second large winning opening 56.

Further, the time saving state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the time saving state reaches a predetermined predetermined number of times, and the state is shifted to the normal state. In detail, in the present embodiment, the specified number of times is set to 80 times for the 16-round normal symbol A and the specified number of times is set to 60 times for the 16-round normal symbol B, and each normal symbol is won. When the special gaming state started based on the above is completed, the gaming state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 80) corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each normal symbol to the specified number of times counter 2930. Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the time saving state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games played from the stored value of the specified number counter 2930, and the stored value of the specified number counter 2930 is changed. When the threshold value (for example, 0) is reached, the time saving state is terminated and the normal state is started.

The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs the special game execution process 1 to the special game execution process 4.

The special game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that any of the 16-round probability variation symbol A to 16-round probability variation symbol K and the 16-round normal symbol A to 16-round normal symbol B is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution process 1 is executed. In 260, a value (for example, 16) corresponding to 16 rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds for the 16-round probability variation symbol and the 16-round normal symbol, is set as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290, and in each round. Every time the first special accessory 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner, an increment update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round is added to the stored value of the round counter 2933. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state ends.

Specifically, in the special game execution process 1, in the special game of each round from the first round to the 16th round, the release timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened. Or, when the first large winning opening sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added. The value of the large winning number counter 2936 is the upper limit value. When (for example, 10) is reached, the drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the fact that the 2-round probability variation symbol or the 2-round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 uses the 2-round probability variation symbol and the 2-round probability variation symbol as the upper limit of the round counter 2933. A value (for example, 2) corresponding to two rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the normal symbol, and each time the first special accessory 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, a round is set. Increment update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds to the stored value of the counter 2933. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 2), the special gaming state ends.

In detail, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each round of the first round to the second round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the first special character 51 is opened, or is large. When the value of the winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The small hit game execution means 262 is a means for executing the small hit game based on the fact that the small hit is won in the special lottery, and performs the small hit game execution process 1 and the small hit game execution process 2.

The small hit game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that the small hit symbol A is won in the special lottery, and in the small hit game execution process 1, the small hit game execution means 262 is small in one round of small hit games. The second special accessory driving device 126 is operated so that the second special accessory 57 is closed when 1.8 seconds have passed since the second special accessory 57 was opened at the start of the winning game. Drive control is performed.

Then, when the second special winning opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added to the value of the large winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 57 completes the operation by the small hit game execution process 1 or the value of the large prize counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the end condition of the small hit game of one round is satisfied. , End the small hit game.

The small hit game execution process 2 is executed based on the fact that the small hit symbol B is won in the special lottery, and in the small hit game execution process 2, the small hit game execution means 262 is small in the small hit game of one round. The second special accessory driving device 126 is operated so that the second special accessory 57 is closed when 5.0 seconds have passed since the second special accessory 57 was opened at the start of the winning game. Drive control is performed.

Then, when the second special winning opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added to the value of the large winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 57 completes the operation by the small hit game execution process 2 or the value of the large prize counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the end condition of the small hit game of one round is satisfied. , End the small hit game.

The payout control means 270 is a detection signal from the first start winning opening sensor 106, a detection signal from the second starting winning opening sensor 108, a detection signal from the first special winning opening sensor 110, and a second large winning opening sensor 112. Based on the input of the detection signal of, the payout device 130 is controlled to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls for each detection signal. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command to make the payout device 130 pay out four game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects the winning of one game ball, and the second Every time the start winning opening sensor 108 detects the winning of one game ball, a command is sent to the payout device 130 to pay out one game ball, and the first large winning opening sensor 110 sends one game ball. A command is sent to the payout device 130 to pay out 15 game balls each time the winning device is detected, and every time the second large winning opening sensor 112 detects the winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 Sends a command to pay out 15 game balls.

The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the number of game balls to be paid out as instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank for storing game balls, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor to produce a number of game balls as instructed. Pay out from the game ball tank. Further, the payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates every time one game ball is paid out, and the payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on the payout signal from the payout sensor 116. It is possible to manage the number of game balls issued.

The communication control means 280 controls to transmit various commands generated according to various calculation results on the main board 100 to the sub board 102. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and the sub board 102 goes to the main board 100. Communication connection is made so that information cannot be transmitted.

Subsequently, the sub-board 102 will be described. The sub-board 102 includes an effect control means 300 and a sub-memory 310.

The effect control means 300 displays the effect based on various commands transmitted from the main board 100, input signals from the effect button switch 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub memory 310. The device 170 is controlled to light or blink the front frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38, the liquid crystal display 32 is displayed with the effect image, and the sound device 172 is controlled to output the effect sound from the speaker 14. By controlling the effect device 176, such as driving the effect drive device 174 to operate the effect, the effect device 176 is made to execute an effect for enlivening the game or assisting the game.

In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large amount of effect image data for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect control means 300 stores one frame (1 /) based on these effect image data. An image is drawn in the frame buffer of the sub-memory 310 every 60 seconds), and the drawn image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, whereby the moving image is reproduced and displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

Then, the effect control means 300 performs a state effect process, a special lottery effect process, a hold display effect process, and the like as processes for causing the effect device 176 to execute the effect.

In the state effect processing, the effect control means 300 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 or displays the background image according to the current game state based on the command according to the game state and the counter value on the main board 100. By changing or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14, an effect suggesting the current game state to the player is executed.

For example, when the current gaming state is in a special state, the effect control means 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display an image indicating that the current gaming state is in the special state, and the current gaming state is in a probabilistic state or In the case of the time saving state, the liquid crystal display 32 displays an image indicating that the current gaming state is the probability changing state or the time saving state.

When the current gaming state is the special gaming state, the effect control means 300 indicates to the liquid crystal display 32 that the current gaming state is the special gaming state, and the special game of the number of rounds is executed. A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether or not it is inside is displayed.

In the special lottery effect processing, when the pre-determination process is performed on the main board 100, the effect control means 300 performs an effect lottery to tentatively determine the effect content of the special lottery effect based on the command according to the pre-determination result. When the special lottery is performed on the main board 100, the effect lottery for finally determining the effect content of the special lottery effect is performed based on the command according to the result of the special lottery. Then, specially to match the variable display and stop display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76, or to match the variable display and stop display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80. The effect device 176 is made to execute the lottery effect.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 13 (A), and a left effect pattern is displayed on the front side of the background image. 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. Then, each time the effect control means 300 reads the first special random number value from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the first special symbol display unit 76 starts the variable display of the first special symbol. Alternatively, each time a special lottery is performed by reading the second special random number value from the second special reserved storage area 1, the second special symbol display unit 80 starts the variable display of the second special symbol, and FIG. 13 As shown in (B), after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a variable manner, whether or not a jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery. When the jackpot is won, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are stopped and displayed, and a plurality of them are displayed in the manner corresponding to the jackpot symbol determined by the symbol determination process. A special lottery effect according to the type of effect pattern can be produced by changing the background image on the liquid crystal display 32 or playing back and displaying the effect video in which the character image operates in a mode corresponding to each type of effect pattern. This is performed on the liquid crystal display 32. The downward arrow in the figure indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being displayed in a variable manner at high speed.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 uses the command according to the pre-determination result or the command according to the result of the special lottery as a random value for the effect lottery based on the input from the main board 100. , A plurality of types of random values such as a first effect pattern determination random value and a second effect pattern determination random value are acquired, and a first effect pattern determination process, a second effect pattern determination process, and the like are performed as an effect lottery.

In the first effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns is used as the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one first effect pattern determination random value. Is the process of determining. Then, in the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any of a plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310 to perform the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined by the first half fluctuation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first effect is generated in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 in response to the case where the result of the first half variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 9. Nine kinds of first effect pattern lottery tables of pattern lottery table A to first effect pattern lottery table I are stored (not shown). Then, in each first effect pattern lottery table, any one of a plurality of types of first half effect patterns is associated with each of the 100 first effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99. Then, when the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 2. In this case, the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and so on, the first effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined by the first half variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first effect pattern lottery table and determines which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns the one first effect pattern determination random value is associated with. One first half effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half effect patterns.

In the second effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of the second half effect patterns is used as the second half effect pattern corresponding to the second half part of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one second effect pattern determination random value. Is the process of determining. Then, in the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 determines which of the plurality of types of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 is referred to for the random number determination process. The latter half fluctuation pattern is selected according to the latter half fluctuation pattern determined in the determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it corresponds to the case where the result of the latter half fluctuation pattern determination processing on the main substrate 100 is each of the reachless fluctuation pattern 1 to the reachless fluctuation pattern 3 and the reach fluctuation pattern 1 to the reach fluctuation pattern 5. The effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables A to the second effect pattern lottery table H (not shown). Then, in each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of the 100 second effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns (unwinning mode) and a plurality of types of reachless effect patterns (unwinning modes) as a plurality of types of second half effect patterns. Any of a plurality of types of reach effect patterns (common modes) are associated with each other. Then, when the result of the second half variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second half variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern 1. In some cases, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and so on, the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected second effect pattern lottery table, and one second effect pattern determination random value is associated with either a plurality of types of reachless effect patterns or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns. By determining whether or not the pattern is present, one non-reach effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

Here, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of the first half production patterns, and the production time of the first half production pattern that can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table A is the fluctuation time of the first half fluctuation pattern 1. The production time of the first half production pattern, which is set to the same 3 seconds and can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table B, is set to 5 seconds, which is the same as the fluctuation time of the first half fluctuation pattern 2, and so on. The effect time of the first half effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first effect pattern lottery table.

In addition, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of non-reach production patterns and the plurality of types of reach production patterns, and the production time of the plurality of types of non-reach production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table A is , Both are set to 1 second, which is the same as the fluctuation time of the non-reach fluctuation pattern 1, and the production time of a plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by the second effect pattern lottery table E is the variation of the reach variation pattern 1. The production time of a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by each second effect pattern lottery table is set to 20 seconds, which is the same as the time, and each second effect pattern lottery. It is set to be the same as the variation time of the non-reach variation pattern or the reach variation pattern corresponding to the table.

Then, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80. The total production time is the total production time according to the first half effect pattern determined in the first effect pattern determination process and the second half effect pattern determined in the second effect pattern determination process. Perform a special lottery production. As a result, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is synchronized with the production time of the special lottery effect.

For example, if a loss occurs in the jackpot determination process and a reachless effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the second special symbol display on the first special symbol display unit 76. With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the unit 80, as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and FIG. As shown in C), first, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed so as to sway slightly without being completely stopped in any of the modes (the mode showing "5" in FIG. 13 (C)). As shown in FIG. 13 (D), the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from that of the left effect symbol 350.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (E), the middle effect symbol 352 is displayed before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed. Temporary stop display is performed in a mode (loss mode) different from that of the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped. As shown in FIG. 13 (F), the middle effect symbol 352 is completely stopped in a mode (loss mode) different from that of the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 at almost the same timing as being displayed. Confirmed stop is displayed.

Further, for example, when a jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, or when a loss occurs in the jackpot determination process and the reach effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol is displayed. As shown in FIG. 14 (A), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right are started with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the part 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. The variable display of the effect symbol 354 is started, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (B), and then the middle effect symbol 352 is changed and displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (C). The right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left effect symbol 350. Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the reproduction display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit 80 in the first special symbol display unit 76 is started. The playback display of the production video is completed within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 14D, a production video in which the main character A fights against the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and this production video is reproduced and displayed. In this case, instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect symbol 350 is supported in the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. The reduced left effect symbol 360, the reduced middle effect symbol 362 corresponding to the middle effect symbol 352, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 corresponding to the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode), while the reduced effect symbol 362 is displayed in a variable manner.

If the jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 14 (E), a production video in which the main character A wins the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the shrinking effect symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (big hit mode) as the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364, so that the jackpot is won. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the effect video in which the main character A defeats the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 14 (F), the left effect symbol 350 temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the middle effect. After the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (G), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. At the same time, the speaker 14 outputs a sound effect for notifying the player that the jackpot has been won, so that the player is definitively notified that the jackpot has been won.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won, as shown in FIG. 14 (H), a production video in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B is played in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the shrinking effect symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 (reach loss mode), resulting in loss. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the video in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 14 (I), the left effect symbol 350 and the middle effect symbol temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (J), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixed stop display in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. By doing so, the player is definitely notified that the loss has occurred.

Here, in the special lottery production process, a common production video may be played and displayed both when a big hit is won and when a loss occurs. Therefore, when the common production video is played and displayed, It is possible to greatly increase the player's expectation for winning the jackpot.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 by the effect pattern according to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. By displaying the display, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner according to the result of the special lottery, while increasing the player's expectation for winning the jackpot. After that, the result of the special lottery is notified to the player by displaying the confirmation stop.

In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is held in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290 based on the command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image showing the status of the 1 special random number value or the 2nd special random number value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15A, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 2914 of the special random number storage means 2914 is located below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Four hold display areas (display areas) of the first hold display area 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 are provided corresponding to the special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4, and each hold display is provided. As shown in FIG. 15A, in the area, the first reserved image 420 showing which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 stores the first special random number value, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15B, it is possible to display the second reserved image 422 showing which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 stores the second special random number value. It has become.

Specifically, the effect control means 300 is a case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 When the first special reserved random value is stored in, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special reserved storage area 2 are each displayed as the first reserved image 420. When the 1 special random number value is reserved, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved storage areas 1 to When the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4, the first special random number value held in the first special reserved storage areas 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 The first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display areas 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 according to the number of the first reserved display areas 411 to 414. In the example of FIG. 15A, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 do not store the second special random number value, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to 1 Since the first special random number value is reserved in each of the special reserved storage areas 3, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display areas 411 to the third reserved display area 413.

Further, the effect control means 300 has a second special reserved storage area 1 regardless of whether or not the first special random number value is stored in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4. 2 When the special random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the second special is displayed in each of the second special reserved storage area 1 and the second special reserved storage area 2. When the random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 2 When the second special random number value is stored in any of the special reserved storage areas 4, the number of the second special random number values held in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414. In the example of FIG. 15B, since the second special random number value is held in each of the second special hold storage area 1 and the second special hold storage area 2, the first hold display area 411 to the second hold The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first special reserved storage area or the second special reserved storage area of the special random number storage means 2914 is located in the left area of the first reserved display area 411 in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. The reserved display area 430 is provided in accordance with the above, and the first special reserved random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 in the reserved display area 430 to obtain the first special reserved storage. When the image is stored in the area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the second special reserved storage area, the second is stored. 2 Hold image 422 is displayed.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 15A, the first special reserved random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1, a special lottery is performed, and the first special reserved random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area. Then, as shown in FIG. 15C, the effect control means 300 moves the first hold image 420 displayed in the first hold display area 411 to the hold display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350. , The variable display of the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 has one ordinal number from the original hold display area. Performs display control to move to a small hold display area. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the first hold displayed after the first hold display area 411 is the first hold. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (D), when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and the result of this special lottery is displayed, they are stored in the first special hold storage area. As the first special random number value is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. Then, when the first special random number value is further read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300 is not shown, but the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430, and the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and is displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area having an ordinal number one smaller.

Further, although not shown, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special random number value are held in a state where a plurality of second special random number values are reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. When the special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the second special hold storage area, the effect control means 300 receives the second hold image 422 displayed in the first hold display area 411. Is moved to the hold display area 430, and variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the second display area displayed in the second hold display area 412 and thereafter is displayed. Display control is performed to move the hold image 422 from the original hold display area to the hold display area having an ordinal number one smaller. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the second hold displayed in the first hold display area 411 or later is displayed. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Further, the effect control means 300 receives the first special random number value or the second special random number value after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired according to the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value. Alternatively, for the second special random number value, the first special random number value is obtained until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, or after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired. Alternatively, the pre-reading effect is produced for the first special random number value or the second special random number value acquired immediately before the second special random number value until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed. To execute. In the present embodiment, as the look-ahead effect, for example, the color and shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined is used. Change it, display an effect image around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image different from the normal background image. Or something. In the present embodiment, when the game state is the normal state or the penalty state, the pre-reading effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and when the game state is the probability change state, the special state or the time saving state, The look-ahead effect is not performed for the first special random number value.

Here, the effect control means 300 is a case where the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value is a jackpot winning result or a loss. In some cases, the pre-reading effect is performed on the first special random number value or the second special random number value only when the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, in each of the variable group lottery table A to the variable group lottery table G shown in FIG. 7, 90 variable groups from 0 to 89 out of 0 to 99 variable group determined random values. Each of the determined random numbers is associated with any of groups 0 to 7 excluding group 4 and group 5, and each of the eight variable group determined random values from 90 to 97 is a group. 4 is associated with each of the two variable group determined random values from 98 to 99, and since group 5 is associated with each of them, the variable group determined random value is any of 0 to 89. There are cases where the non-reach variation pattern is determined and cases where the reach variation pattern is determined according to the number of holds or the game state, and the variation group determination random number value is any one of 90 to 99. The reach variation pattern is always determined regardless of the number of holdings or the game state, and the non-reach variation pattern is not determined.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the special lottery means 230 is lost in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, the variable group determination random number value included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value. However, when it is any of 0 to 89, indefinite value information indicating that the reach variation pattern is determined is indefinite is set as a preliminary determination result, and when it is any of 90 to 99. Sets fixed value information indicating that the reach fluctuation pattern is always determined as a preliminary determination result.

Then, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not the look-ahead effect can be executed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value when the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is that the jackpot is won. A look-ahead effect lottery is performed, but if the jackpot is not won, it is judged whether or not the pre-judgment result includes fixed value information, and if fixed value information is included. , The look-ahead production lottery is held.

As a result, in the present embodiment, at the time when the pre-determination process is performed on the first special random number value or the second special random number value and when the special lottery is performed on the same first special random number value or the second special random number value. , Even if the number of holdings has changed, if a special lottery is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is decided, the jackpot will be won or the game will be lost. Also, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

Then, when the effect control means 300 determines the execution of the pre-reading effect in the pre-reading effect lottery for the first special random number value, the first special reserved storage area and the first special reserved storage areas 1 to 1 first special reserved storage area. The first special random number value reserved in the area 4 and included in the pre-judgment result in the first special random number value acquired before the first special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined. The result of the jackpot determination process is the first special random number value that won the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is a loss, but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information. When the first special random number value is not present, the look-ahead effect is started assuming that the start condition of the look-ahead effect is satisfied.

Further, when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined by the look-ahead effect lottery for the second special random number value, the second special hold storage area and the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4 are held. In the second special random number value that is the second special random number value that is acquired before the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined, the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result The second special random number value whose result is the winning jackpot, or the second special random value which is included in the pre-judgment result but the result of the jackpot determination process is lost but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information. When the special random number value does not exist, the look-ahead effect is started assuming that the start condition of the look-ahead effect is satisfied.

As a result, in the present embodiment, when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot winning for the first special random number value or the second special random number value already held is won. If it is confirmed, if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, or if it is confirmed that the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, it is executed by the confirmed jackpot. It is possible to start the look-ahead effect after the special game state is completed, or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that has been executed or is confirmed to be executed is completed. ..

3. 3. Control method of this embodiment The control method of this embodiment will be described in detail below. In FIG. 16A, 16 round probability variation symbols A to 16 round probability variation symbols E and 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B, which can be won in the special lottery for the first special random number value, are in the normal state, respectively. It is a figure which shows the stipulated number of times determination table A for deciding the stipulated number of times after the end of a special game state when winning in each of a probability change state, a special state and a time saving state.

As shown in FIG. 16A, in the specified number of times determination table A, the specified number of times is the specified number of times for the 16-round probability variation symbol A regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state. It is decided to be 80 times.

Further, regarding the 16-round probability variation symbol E, the specified number of times is not determined because the game shifts to the special state after the end of the special game state regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state. ..

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol A, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 80 times regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probabilistic state, the special state, or the time saving state. ..

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol B, the specified number of times in the time-saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probabilistic state, the special state, or the time-saving state. ..

FIG. 16B shows 16 round probability variation symbols E to 16 round probability variation symbols K, 2 round probability variation symbols, 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B, 2 which can be won in the special lottery for the second special random number value. It is a figure which shows the predetermined number of times determination table B for determining the specified number of times after the end of a special game state when each of the round normal symbols is elected in each of a normal state, a probable change state, a special state and a time saving state. ..

As shown in FIG. 16 (B), in the specified number of times determination table B, when the 16-round probability variation symbol F is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, or the time saving state, the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state The specified number of times is determined to be 100 times, and if the player wins in the special state, the specified number of times in the probabilistic state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Regarding the 16-round probability variation symbol G, if the player wins in the normal state, the specified number of times in the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and if the player wins in the probability variation state or the time saving state, it is special. The specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the gaming state is determined to be 80 times, and when the player wins in the special state, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Regarding the 16-round probability variation symbol H, when the probability variation symbol H is won in the normal state, the specified number of times of the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and when the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state is won. Is determined to be 60 times the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state.

Regarding the 16-round probability variation symbol I, if the player wins in the normal state, the specified number of times in the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and if the player wins in the probability variation state or the time saving state, it is special. The specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the game state is determined to be 40 times, but if the player wins in the special state, the specified number of times is not determined because the state shifts to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Regarding the 16-round probability variation symbol J, if the player wins in the normal state, the specified number of times in the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and if the player wins in the probability variation state or the time saving state, it is special. The specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the game state is determined to be 20, but if the player wins in the special state, the specified number of times is not determined because the state shifts to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Regarding the 16-round probability variation symbol K, if the player wins in the normal state, the specified number of times in the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and if the player wins in the probability variation state or the time saving state, it is special. The specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the game state is determined to be one, but if the player wins in the special state, the specified number of times is not determined because the state shifts to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Further, regarding the 16-round probability variation symbol E, the specified number of times is not determined because the game shifts to the special state after the end of the special game state regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state. ..

Further, for the 2-round probability variation symbol, the specified number of times of the probability variation state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state.

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol A, the specified number of times in the time-saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 80 times regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probabilistic state, the special state, or the time-saving state. ..

Further, for the 16-round normal symbol B, the specified number of times in the time-saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the player wins in the normal state, the probabilistic state, the special state, or the time-saving state. ..

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the gaming state is shifted between the normal state, the probabilistic state, the special state, and the time saving state while passing through the special gaming state. And since the normal state, which is the initial state, is a game state in which the player should hit left as described above, a special lottery is basically performed for the first special random number value in the normal state, but a big hit is obtained in the normal state. If any of the 16-round probability variation symbol A to the 16-round probability variation symbol D is won, the player shifts to the probability variation state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table A shown in FIG. 16A is referred to, and it is the specified number of times when any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol A to the 16-round probability variation symbol D is won in the normal state. The number of times, 60 times, 40 times, or 20 times is set as the specified number of times in the probability change state.

And the probability change state is a game state in which right-handed strike should be performed as described above, and unlike the normal state, a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value, and the jackpot is not won in the probability change state. When the number of times the special lottery is held reaches the specified number of times according to each probability variation symbol, the state is changed to the special state.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is won in the normal state and any one of the 16-round normal symbol A to the 16-round normal symbol B is won, the time is shortened after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table A shown in FIG. 16A is referred to, and it is the specified number of times when any one of 16 rounds normal symbol A to 16 rounds normal symbol B is won in the normal state. The number of times or 60 times is set as the specified number of times in the time saving state.

And the time saving state is a game state in which right-handed strike should be performed as described above, and basically a special lottery is performed for the second special random number value as in the probability variation state, and the jackpot is not won in the time saving state. When the number of times the special lottery has been held reaches the specified number of times according to each normal symbol, the normal state is entered.

And the special state is a game state in which a right-handed hit should be performed as described above, and basically a special lottery is performed for the second special random number value as in the probabilistic state and the time saving state, and small hit games are frequently performed. As well as being executed, the normal accessory 55 is controlled to the open state less frequently than the probabilistic state and the time saving state, and the period during which the normal accessory 55 is controlled to the open state is also shorter, so that the second major winning opening 56 Since it is easier for game balls to enter the game, the more small hits are won without winning big hits, the more game balls can be acquired by small hit games.

Then, in the special state, if the jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol E and the 16-round probability variation symbol I to the 16-round probability variation symbol K is won, the special state is resumed after the end of the special gaming state. ..

On the other hand, if the jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol F to the 16-round probability variation symbol H and the 2-round probability variation symbol is won, the transition to the probability variation state is made after the end of the special gaming state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. 16 (B) is referred to, and when any of the 16-round probability variation symbol F to the 16-round probability variation symbol H and the 2-round probability variation symbol is won in the special state. The specified number of times, 60 times, is set as the specified number of times in the probabilistic state.

Further, if the jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B and the 2 round normal symbol is won, the time is shortened after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. 16 (B) is referred to, and when any one of the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B and the 2 round normal symbol is won in the special state. The specified number of times, 80 times or 60 times, is set as the specified number of times in the time saving state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as long as any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol E and the 16-round probability variation symbol I to the 16-round probability variation symbol K is won in the special state, the special state and the special gaming state are repeated, and the special state is a small hit. By the game, in the special game state, many game balls can be acquired by the special game.

Here, in the present embodiment, there is a special case where any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol A to the 16-round probability variation symbol E is won in the normal state and the case where any one of the 16-round normal symbol A to the 16-round normal symbol B is won. Since a common effect is executed as a lottery effect, it is possible to determine which of the 16 round probability variation symbol A to the 16 round probability variation symbol E and the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B is won from the contents of the special lottery effect. The person cannot be identified, and in the normal state, one of the 16-round probabilistic symbol A to the 16-round probabilistic symbol E is won, and the 16-round normal symbol A to the 16-round normal symbol B is won. In some cases, a common effect is executed even as an effect in the special game state, so from the content of the effect in the special game state, it can be determined whether the game state after the end of the special game state is the probability change state or the time saving state. The player cannot be identified. As a result, in the present embodiment, when any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol A to the 16-round probability variation symbol E is won in the normal state and when any one of the 16-round normal symbol A to the 16-round normal symbol B is won, then The player's expectation that the gaming state shifts to the special state is raised from the middle to the end of the special gaming state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect in the probabilistic state after the end of the special gaming state started based on the winning of any of the 16-round probabilistic symbols A to 16-round probabilistic symbols A, and the 16-round normal symbols A to 16 Since the common effect is also executed as the effect in the time-saving state after the end of the special game state started based on the winning of any of the round normal symbols B, the content of the effect in the probabilistic state or the time-saving state , The player cannot determine whether the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is the probabilistic state or the time saving state. As a result, in the present embodiment, in the normal state, when any one of the 16-round probability variation symbol A to the 16-round probability variation symbol D is won and when any one of the 16-round normal symbol A to 16-round normal symbol B is won, it is special. Until the number of special lottery in the probable change state or the time saving state after the end of the game state reaches the specified number of times, the player's expectation that the game state shifts to the special state is raised.

Then, in the present embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery when the number of special lottery times in the probabilistic state or the time saving state reaches the specified number of times (hereinafter referred to as the specified number of times reached), the character A is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. A production image of fighting with character B is displayed, and the player is notified whether the gaming state shifts to the special state or the normal state depending on whether the character A wins or loses the character B.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, as the variable group lottery table used in the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times, either group 4 or group 5 is used for each of 100 variable group determined random values from 0 to 99. A special variable group lottery table that is associated is prepared, and in the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times, if the jackpot is not won, the special variable group lottery table is referred to in the variable group determination process and group 4 Alternatively, by determining the group 5, the reach variation pattern is always determined in the latter half variation pattern determination process, and the non-reach variation pattern is not determined.

Then, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, the effect of notifying that the character A wins the character B and the game state shifts to the special state is determined, and the game state is determined. When is in the time saving state, as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, an effect for notifying that the character A is defeated by the character B and the game state shifts to the normal state is determined.

As a result, in the present embodiment, when the game state is in the probable change state, the character A wins the character B in the special lottery production for the special lottery of the specified number of times reached, and the character "Special bonus acquisition!" By displaying the effect image in which the image appears, the player is notified that the game state shifts to the special state, and when the game state is in the time saving state, a special lottery for the specified number of times reached is special. In the lottery effect, the player is notified that the game state shifts to the normal state by displaying the effect image in which the character A is defeated by the character B.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the special lottery in the probabilistic state or the time saving state, in the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached, the jackpot is not won, and one of the reach fluctuation patterns is determined. If so, as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, an effect is determined in which the character A fights against the character B, but the character A and the character B are drawn to notify that the probabilistic state or the time saving state continues. Then, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery, the character A and the character B are drawn, and the effect image in which the character image "Continue!" Appears is displayed, so that the probabilistic state or the time saving state continues. Notify the player.

In addition, when a big hit is won in a special lottery in a probabilistic state or a time saving state, one of the reach fluctuation patterns is determined as described above, and character A wins character B as a production corresponding to the reach production pattern. The effect of notifying that the game state shifts to the special game state is determined, and in the special lottery effect for the special lottery, the character A wins the character B and the character image "Bonus earned!" Appears. By displaying the effect image, the player is notified that the gaming state shifts to the special gaming state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, except when the jackpot is won in the special lottery in the probabilistic state or the time saving state, in the special lottery production for the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times, the gaming state shifts to the special state or is normal. An effect of notifying the player whether to shift to the state is executed.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the second special random number value used in the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times is set even before the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times is performed. At the time of being held, if the second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit does not exist in the held second special random number value, it is confirmed that the game state shifts to the special state. Therefore, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached, a specific notification effect for notifying the player that the game state shifts to the special state may be executed. There is.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the game state is in the probabilistic state, when the second special random number value is held, the second special random number value held in the special reserved storage area is preliminarily determined. Whether or not the second special hold number matches the value of the specified number counter 2930 when the result is not a big hit and the remaining number of times until the specified number of times is reached, that is, the value of the specified number counter 2930 is 4 or less. Judged. Then, when the second special hold number matches the value of the specified number counter 2930, it is assumed that the second special random number value used in the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times is held, and is held in the second special hold storage area. It is determined whether or not there is a second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit among the second special random number values.

For example, in the probabilistic precursor state after the end of the special gaming state started based on the winning of the 16-round probabilistic symbol B in the normal state, the specified number of times is set to 60, so the example of FIG. 17 (A). As shown in the above, when the 56th special lottery in the probabilistic state is performed, the value of the specified number counter 2930 becomes 4, but in this state, the second special hold number matches the value of the specified number counter 2930. In the case of, the second special reserved random value reserved in the second special reserved storage area 4 becomes the second special random number value used in the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times, so that the second special reserved storage area 1 It is determined whether or not there is a second special random number value whose pre-determination result is a big hit among the second special random number values held in the second special reserved storage area 4.

Then, when the second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit does not exist, one of the reach fluctuation patterns is included in the second special random number value held in the second special reserved storage area. It is determined whether or not the determined second special random number value, that is, the second special random number value including the fixed value information exists in the preliminary determination result. Then, when the second special random number value including the fixed value information exists in the preliminary judgment result, it is specified in the special lottery effect for the special lottery using the second special random number value including the fixed value information in the preliminary judgment result. It is decided to execute the notification effect.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 17A, the pre-judgment result is a jackpot winning among the second special random number values held in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. The second special random number value that does not exist and is reserved in the second special reserved storage area 2, that is, the second special random number value used in the 58th special lottery in the probabilistic state is determined in advance. Since the result is the second special random number value including the fixed value information, it is determined to execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect for the 58th special lottery in the probability change precursor state.

Here, in the present embodiment, as described above, in the special lottery in the probabilistic state and before the specified number of times reached, one of the reach fluctuation patterns is determined without winning the jackpot. In this case, as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, an effect is determined in which the character A and the character B are drawn to notify that the probabilistic state or the time saving state continues, but it is decided to execute the specific notification effect. In that case, as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, an effect of notifying that the character A wins the character B and the gaming state shifts to the special state is determined.

Then, in the present embodiment, when it is decided to execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached, the special lottery for the specified number of times reached is special. In the lottery production, it is decided to execute a special production, and as a production corresponding to the reach production pattern, a production is determined to congratulate the character A to reunite with his friends and shift the gaming state to the special state.

Therefore, in the example of FIG. 17 (A), in the special lottery production for the 58th special lottery in the probabilistic state, the character A wins the character B and the character image "Special bonus acquisition!" Appears. By being displayed, the player is notified that the game state will shift to the special state, and in the special lottery production for the 60th special lottery, which is the number of times the specified number has been reached, character A reunites with his friends and " It is congratulated that the game state shifts to the special state by displaying the effect image in which the character image "Congratulations!" Appears.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in the example of FIG. 17B, the second special random number value used in the 60th special lottery, which is the number of times the specified number of times has been reached, includes the fixed value information in the preliminary determination result. If it is a special random number value and there is no other second special random number value that includes fixed value information in the preliminary judgment result, the special lottery for the 60th special lottery, which is the specified number of times reached. In the effect, it is decided to execute the specific notification effect, and as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, the effect of notifying that the character A wins the character B and the gaming state shifts to the special state is determined.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in the example of FIG. 17C, when a plurality of second special random number values including fixed value information are present in the preliminary determination result, the fixed value information is included in the preliminary determination result. One second special random number value can be determined by lottery from a plurality of second special random number values, and a specific notification effect can be executed in a special lottery effect for a special lottery using the determined second special random number value. As an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, the effect of notifying that the character A wins the character B and the gaming state shifts to the special state is determined.

Here, as shown in the example of FIG. 17C, the second special random number value used in the 58th special lottery in the probabilistic state and the second special random number used in the 60th special lottery when the specified number of times is reached. When the numerical value is the second special random number value including the fixed value information in the pre-judgment result, the specific notification effect is executed in the special lottery effect for the 60th special lottery which has reached the specified number of times. If it is decided that, regarding the special lottery effect for the 58th special lottery in the probability change state, the character A and the character B are drawn to continue the probability change state or the time saving state as the effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern. The effect of notifying that is decided. On the other hand, although not shown, in the special lottery effect for the 58th special lottery in the probabilistic state, when it is decided to execute the specific notification effect, the special lottery for the 60th special lottery, which is the specified number of times reached. Regarding the lottery production, it is decided to execute a special production, and as a production corresponding to the reach production pattern, a production to congratulate the character A to reunite with his friends and shift the game state to the special state is decided. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, when the second special random number value including the fixed value information does not exist in the second special random number value held in the second special reserved storage area, the preliminary determination result is obtained. The specific notification effect is executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery using any of the second special random number values including the indefinite value information, or the second special random number value used in the special lottery when the specified number of times is reached is A specific notification effect lottery is executed to determine whether to immediately execute the specific notification effect when the hold is made.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 17D, fixed value information is added to the pre-determination result in the second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. Since the second special random number value including the second special random number value does not exist, the specific notification effect lottery is executed, and the special lottery using the second special random number value held in the second special reserved storage area 1, that is, the 57th time in the probability change precursor state. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery, it is decided to execute the specific notification effect.

Here, in the present embodiment, it is a special lottery effect for the special lottery for the times before the specified number of times is reached, and the special lottery for using the second special random number value including the indefinite value information in the pre-judgment result. In the lottery effect, there are cases where the non-reach variation pattern is determined and cases where the reach variation pattern is determined. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery using the second special random number value, the specific notification effect is provided. When it is decided to execute and the reach variation pattern is determined, the character A wins the character B and the gaming state shifts to the special state as the effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern. However, when the non-reach variation pattern is determined, the effect of notifying that the gaming state shifts to the special state is determined as the effect corresponding to the non-reach effect pattern.

Then, in the present embodiment, as described above, when it is decided to execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached, the specified number of times is reached. In the special lottery production for the special lottery, it is decided to execute the special production, and as a production corresponding to the reach production pattern, a production that congratulates Character A to reunite with his friends and shift the game state to the special state. Is determined.

Therefore, in the example of FIG. 17 (D), when the reach fluctuation pattern is determined in the special lottery production for the 57th special lottery in the probabilistic state, the character A wins the character B and "gets a special bonus! By displaying the effect image in which the character image "" appears, the player is notified that the game state shifts to the special state, and when the non-reach variation pattern is determined, the character A becomes the character B. Although the effect image that wins the game is not displayed, the player is notified that the game state shifts to the special state by displaying the effect image in which the character image "Special bonus acquisition!" Appears. Then, in the special lottery production for the 60th special lottery, which is the number of times the specified number of times has been reached, the character A reunites with his friends and the production image in which the character image "Congratulations!" Appears is displayed. It is blessed that the state shifts to a special state.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in the example of FIG. 17 (E), the preliminary determination result is included in the second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. Since the second special random number value including the fixed value information does not exist in, the specific notification effect lottery is executed, and the special lottery using the second special random number value held in the second special reserved storage area 4, that is, the specified number of times When it is decided to execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect for the 60th special lottery, which is the arrival time, the character A wins the character B and plays as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern. The effect of notifying that the state shifts to the special state is determined.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in the example of FIG. 18A, the preliminary determination result is included in the second special random number value held in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. Since there is no second special random number value containing fixed value information in, the specific notification effect lottery is executed, and the specific notification is immediately given when the second special random number value used in the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times is held. When it is decided to execute the effect, the effect image in which the character A wins the character B is not displayed, but immediately, that is, in the special lottery effect for the 56th special lottery in the probabilistic state, "special bonus acquisition" is obtained. By displaying the effect image in which the character image of "!" Appears, the player is notified that the gaming state shifts to the special state.

Then, in the present embodiment, when it is decided to immediately execute the specific notification effect, it is determined to execute the special effect in the special lottery effect for the special lottery when the specified number of times is reached, and the reach effect pattern is set. As a corresponding production, a production is determined to congratulate the character A to reunite with his friends and shift the game state to a special state.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the 56th special lottery in the probabilistic state is performed and the second special hold number does not match the value of the specified number counter 2930, FIG. 18 ( As shown in B), when the 57th special lottery in the probabilistic state is performed and the number of the second special hold becomes three that matches the value of the specified number counter 2930, the second special hold memory is stored. Since the second special random number value reserved in the area 3 becomes the second special random number value used in the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 3 is reserved. It is determined whether or not there is a second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit among the second special random number values. Then, when the second special random number value whose pre-determination result is a big hit does not exist, it is determined whether or not the second special random number value including the fixed value information exists in the pre-determination result. Then, it is decided to execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect for any of the 58th to 60th special lottery in the probabilistic precursor state, or it is decided to immediately execute the specific notification effect. ..

Similarly, even when the 57th special lottery in the probabilistic precursor state is performed and the second special hold number does not match the value of the specified number counter 2930, FIG. 18C is shown in FIG. As shown in the above, when the 58th special lottery in the probabilistic precursor state is performed and the number of the second special hold becomes two that matches the value of the specified number counter 2930, the second special hold storage area Since the second special random number value held in 2 becomes the second special random number value used in the special lottery when the specified number of times is reached, it is held in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 2. It is determined whether or not there is a second special random number value in which the preliminary determination result is a big hit among the second special random number values. Then, when the second special random number value whose pre-determination result is a big hit does not exist, it is determined whether or not the second special random number value including the fixed value information exists in the pre-determination result. Then, it is decided to execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect for any of the 59th to 60th special lottery in the probabilistic precursor state, or it is decided to immediately execute the specific notification effect. ..

Then, in the present embodiment, if the 60th special lottery, which is the specified number of times reached, is performed without deciding to execute the specific notification effect, the character A is used in the special lottery effect for the special lottery for the specified number of times reached. Wins the character B, and the effect image in which the character image "Special bonus is acquired!" Appears is displayed, so that the player is notified that the game state shifts to the special state.

In this way, in the present embodiment, when the game state is a probable change precursor state, the player is informed that the game state shifts to the special state in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached. The specific notification effect to be notified may be executed, and the effect of the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times is reached is enhanced.

Hereinafter, the flow of processing performed by the effect control means 300 in the probabilistic state regarding the determination of the execution of the specific notification effect will be described with reference to the flowchart. In the present embodiment, when the second special random number value is first held (Y in step S100) in the probabilistic state processing 1 shown in FIG. 19, the effect control means 300 is held in the second special hold storage area. If the pre-judgment result of the second special random number value is not a big hit (Y in step S102) and the value of the specified number counter 2930 is 4 or less (Y in step S104), the second special hold number is specified. It is determined whether or not it matches the value of the number counter 2930 (step S106).

Then, when the second special hold number matches the value of the specified number of times counter 2930 (Y in step S106), the pre-determination result is a big hit in the second special random number value held in the second special hold storage area. It is determined whether or not there is a second special random number value that is won in (step S108).

Then, when there is no second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit (Y in step S108), the second special random number value held in the second special hold storage area is preliminarily included. It is determined whether or not a second special random number value including fixed value information exists in the determination result (step S110).

Then, when the second special random number value including the fixed value information exists in the pre-judgment result (Y in step S110), the special lottery using the second special random number value including the fixed value information in the pre-judgment result is performed. In the special lottery effect, it is determined to execute the specific notification effect (step S112).

On the other hand, when the pre-judgment result does not have a second special random number value including fixed value information (N in step S110), a special using any second special random number value including indefinite value information in the pre-judgment result. In the special lottery effect for the lottery, it is determined whether to execute the specific notification effect or immediately execute the specific notification effect (step S114).

4. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be carried out. Modifications will be introduced below. It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as control methods for realizing the present invention.

First, in the above embodiment, when a second special random number value including fixed value information exists in the preliminary determination result, a special lottery for a special lottery using the second special random number value including fixed value information in the preliminary determination result is performed. Although the example of determining to execute the specific notification effect has been described in the effect, the specific notification effect is executed even when the second special random number value including the fixed value information exists in the pre-determination result. You may not decide that.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the second special random number value including the fixed value information does not exist in the preliminary determination result, the special lottery using any of the second special random number values including the indefinite value information in the preliminary determination result is performed. Although the explanation has been given with an example of determining whether to execute the specific notification effect or to immediately execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect of the above, the second special random number value including the fixed value information in the preliminary determination result. May not decide to execute the specific notification effect even when is not present.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the gaming state shifts to a special state advantageous to the player in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached. Although the effect of notifying the player of the above is sometimes executed, even before the special lottery for reaching the specified number of times is performed when the game state is the time saving state. , When the second special random number value used in the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times is reserved, the second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit is among the reserved second special random number values. If it does not exist, it is confirmed that the game state shifts to the normal state, so that the game state becomes a normal state that is disadvantageous to the player in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached. The player may be notified of the transition.

Further, in the above embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached, which is the trigger for the game state (control state) to shift, the game state shifts to another game state. Although the explanation was given with an example in which the effect of notifying the player is executed, the specified number of times reached is the trigger for the effect state (control state) to shift, and the specified number of times is reached. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the times, an effect of notifying the player that the effect state shifts to another effect state may be executed. In this case, the effect state may be shifted between a plurality of types of effect states in which the effect lottery table referred to when determining the effect is different, or the first special symbol or the second special symbol may be transferred. The effect state may be shifted between a plurality of types of effect states in which the variation pattern lottery table referred to when determining the variation pattern is different. In this case, the number of times the specified number of times is reached is the trigger for the transition of the production state, but it may not be the trigger for the transition of the gaming state.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the specific notification effect is executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached, it is executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the specified number of times reached. As a special production, an example was given in which a production was decided to congratulate the character A reuniting with his friends and the game state shifting to the special state. However, in the special production as well as the specific notification production, " By displaying the effect image in which the character image "Special bonus acquisition!" Appears, the player may be notified that the gaming state shifts to the special state.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the specific notification effect is executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times is reached, the character A wins the character B and "special bonus acquisition!" The explanation was given by giving an example in which the player is notified that the game state shifts to the special state by displaying the effect image in which the character image of and appears, but the number of times before the specified number of times is reached has been explained. When the specific notification effect is executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery, the character A draws with the character B, but the effect image in which the character image "Special bonus acquisition!" Appears is displayed. The player may be notified that the gaming state will shift to the special state. Then, in this case, in the special lottery production for the 20th special lottery, which is the number of times the specified number has been reached, the character A wins the character B, and the production image in which the character image "Special bonus is acquired!" Appears is displayed. By doing so, the player may be notified that the gaming state shifts to the special state.

In addition, when the specific notification effect is executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached, the character A wins the character B and the character image "Special bonus acquisition!" Is displayed, and in the special lottery production for the 60th special lottery, which is the number of times the specified number has been reached, character A wins character B and a character image saying "Special bonus earned!" Appears. The effect image to be produced may be displayed.

That is, the game state is a special state for the effect executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery before the specified number of times reached and the effect executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery for the specified number of times reached. The effect of notifying the transition to the specified number of times may be included, and the effect executed in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached and the special lottery of the specified number of times reached. The effects performed in the special lottery effect of the above may include a common effect.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the game state is a probable change precursor state, the player is informed that the game state shifts to the special state in the special lottery effect for the special lottery of the times before the specified number of times reached. The explanation has been given with an example in which the effect of notifying may be executed, but when the game state is a probabilistic state, the effect of notifying the player that the game state shifts to the special state is executed. If the second special random number value, which is a big hit in the pre-judgment result, is reserved as the second special random number value used in the special lottery after the specified number of times is reached, the game is played. Since it is determined that the gaming state shifts to the special gaming state shortly after the state shifts to the special state, the effect of notifying the player that the gaming state shifts to the special state may not be executed.

Specifically, in this example, when the effect control means 300 holds the second special random number value in the probabilistic state processing 2 shown in FIG. 20 when the game state is the probabilistic state (Y in step S200), The specific notification effect has not been executed (Y in step S202), the value of the specified number counter 2930 is 1 or more and 3 or less (Y in step S204), and the second special hold number is larger than the value of the specified number counter 2930. If it is large (Y in step S206), assuming that the second special random number value used in the special lottery after the specified number of times is reached is reserved, the pre-judgment result of the reserved second special random number value is a big hit. It is determined whether or not the winner is (step S208).

For example, in the probabilistic state after the end of the special gaming state started based on the winning of the 16-round probabilistic symbol A in the normal state, the specified number of times is set to 60 times, as shown in the example of FIG. When the 57th special lottery is performed in the probabilistic state, the value of the specified number counter 2930 becomes 3, but in this state, the second special hold number becomes 4 which is larger than the value of the specified number counter 2930. In addition, since the second special random number value reserved in the second special reserved storage area 4 becomes the second special random number value used in the next special lottery after the specified number of times is reached, the second special reserved storage area 4 It is determined whether or not the pre-determination result of the second special random number value held in is a big hit.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20, when the preliminary determination result of the reserved second special random number value is the winning of the jackpot (Y in step S208), the second special reserved storage area and the second special reserved storage area It is determined whether or not there is a second special random number value whose pre-determination result is a jackpot winning among the second special random number values held earlier in the above (step S210). Then, when the second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit does not exist (Y in step S210), the probabilistic state or the time saving state continues in the special lottery effect for the special lottery when the specified number of times is reached. It is decided to execute the effect of notifying that to be performed (step S212). Then, when it is decided to execute the specific notification effect in the special lottery effect for any of the special lottery times, the execution of the specific notification effect is cancelled.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 21, the pre-determination result of the second special random number value held in the second special hold storage area 4 is a big hit, and the second special hold storage area and the second special hold are held. Since there is no second special random number value whose pre-judgment result is a big hit among the second special random number values reserved in the storage areas 1 to 2 second special reserved storage area 3, the specified number of times has been reached. In the special lottery effect for the 20th special lottery, it is decided to execute an effect for notifying that the probability change state or the time saving state continues.

Therefore, in this example, regarding the special lottery effect for the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times, character A fights character B as an effect corresponding to the reach effect pattern, but character A and character B draw and are in a probabilistic state or shorten the time. The effect of notifying that the state continues is determined. Then, in the special lottery effect for the special lottery that reaches the specified number of times, the character A and the character B are drawn, and the effect image in which the character image "Continue!" Appears is displayed, so that the game state is actually in a special state. However, the player is notified as if the probabilistic state or the time saving state continues.

Can be done.

Further, in the above-described embodiment and modification, the effect of notifying the player that the gaming state shifts to the special state, the effect of notifying the player that the gaming state shifts to the normal state, the probabilistic state or the time saving state Although the effect of notifying that the game state is to be continued and the effect of notifying that the game state is changed to the special game state are executed, the player is suggested that the game state is changed to the special state. An effect that suggests that the player is in a normal state, an effect that suggests that the probabilistic state or the time saving state is continued, and an effect that the game state is changed to the special game state. The production may be executed. That is, the effect corresponding to the transition of the game state to the special state, the effect corresponding to the transition of the game state to the normal state, the effect corresponding to the continuation of the probabilistic state or the time saving state, and the game state It is possible to execute the effect corresponding to the transition to the special gaming state.

Then, the effect corresponding to the transition of the game state to the special state, the effect corresponding to the transition of the game state to the normal state, the effect corresponding to the continuation of the probabilistic state or the time saving state, and the game state For each of the effects corresponding to the transition to the special game state, not only the effect image in which the character A fights with the character B but also a plurality of types of effects having different displayed effect images may be prepared. ..

Further, in the big hit lottery table A shown in FIG. 5 (A), the winning probability of the small hit may be set to 0, and in the big hit lottery table B shown in FIG. 5 (B), the winning probability of the small hit is set.
