Description

The present invention relates to a ball game machine typified by a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine provided with a movable moving object.

In a conventional pachinko machine (pachinko game machine), a random number value (numerical data) is extracted when the launched game ball enters the starting port, and whether it is a hit or a loss is determined by lottery based on the extracted random value. However, the lottery result has been notified by the display content of the confirmation display of the special symbol.

Further, in the current pachinko machines, a special symbol is displayed small at the edge of the game area, and a pseudo symbol (also referred to as a decorative symbol or a decorative symbol) provided corresponding to the special symbol is displayed as a variable display of the special symbol. The pseudo-effect that is executed by fluctuating the display along with it is configured to be displayed in a large size on the effect symbol display device provided in the center of the game area, and the player is given a lottery result by the pseudo-effect (pseudo-symbol). It is configured to let you understand.

As a method for giving the player a sense of expectation for the lottery result, not only the effect display by the effect symbol display device but also a movable object (also referred to as an effect movable accessory) is provided, and this movable object is provided. By making it movable, the player is given a sense of expectation for the lottery result.

In addition, in recent pachinko machines equipped with movable objects as described above, not only the movable objects can be moved simply and uniformly with a fixed movable pattern, but also multiple types of movable patterns are provided, and each movable pattern is provided. A pachinko machine (for example, Patent Document 1) that provides a player with a hobby by differently expecting a big hit for each type is also widely known.

JP-A-2006-230549

Certainly, in a pachinko gaming machine (pachinko machine) as described in Patent Document 1, by providing a plurality of types of movable patterns of movable objects, it is possible to give the player different expectations according to each movable pattern. You can.

However, the degree of expectation suggested by each movable pattern cannot be recognized by the player unless the movable pattern is completed and the type of the movable pattern is determined.

Therefore, the psychology of the player during the period until the movement is completed is uniformly limited to the uniform feeling that the movement should be a movement pattern with high expectation, and it is interesting during the period. The lacking point was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in a configuration capable of suggesting different expectations depending on the type of movable pattern of a movable object, it is a period during which the type of movable pattern is unknown, that is, a period until the movement is completed. However, the purpose is to provide a ball game machine that is not lacking in fun.

Whether or not the invention according to claim 1 made in view of the above problems is a winning opportunity for a special game to occur based on the numerical data extracted due to the entry of the game ball into the starting port. A hit / fail judgment means for determining whether or not, a special symbol display device for variablely displaying a special symbol indicating a judgment result by the pass / fail judgment means, an effect display device for displaying a pseudo effect corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol, and an effect sound output. The present invention relates to a ball game machine including a speaker for performing a sound, and at least an effect movable accessory that changes its form while a predetermined pseudo effect is being performed.

This ball game machine changes the form of the effect movable accessory from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form, or changes the form only from the initial form to the intermediate form when a predetermined pseudo effect is performed. It is provided with a form change determining means for determining whether or not to perform a form change, and a form change sound output means for outputting a form change sound as an effect sound related to the form change by a speaker when a predetermined pseudo effect is performed. A first form change sound and a second form change sound are provided as the form change sound, and the form change sound output means is determined by the form change determining means to change the form only from the initial form to the intermediate form. Even if it is determined to change the form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form, the first form change sound or the first form change sound or the first form before the effect movable accessory is changed to the intermediate form. 2 The output of the morphological change sound is started, and the morphological change determining means determines that the winning or not is won, and when a predetermined pseudo-effect is performed, it is determined that the morphological change is changed only from the initial form to the intermediate form. It is set to determine that the form is changed from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form with a higher probability than the probability, and the second form change sound is output by the speaker while the predetermined pseudo-effect is being performed. When this is done, there is a higher probability that the effect movable accessory will change its form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form , and the first form will change with a higher probability than when the first form change sound is output. Even when the sound is output, the effect movable accessory is set so that the form may change from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

In addition, the bullet game machine is a winning / failing determination means for determining whether or not to win the special game based on the numerical data extracted due to the entry of the game ball into the starting port. , A special symbol display device that variablely displays a special symbol indicating a determination result by the hit / fail determination means, an effect display device that displays a pseudo effect corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol, and a speaker that outputs an effect sound, at least predetermined. In a ball game machine equipped with a production movable character that changes its form during the pseudo production of, when a predetermined pseudo production is performed, the production movable character is changed from the initial form. A morphological change determining means for deciding whether to change the morphology to the final morphology through the intermediate morphology or to change the morphology only from the initial morphology to the intermediate morphology, and the morphological change by the speaker when a predetermined pseudo effect is performed. A morphological change sound output means for outputting a morphological change sound as an effect sound according to the above, and a first morphological change sound and a second morphological change sound are provided as morphological change sounds, and the morphological change determining means is correct or not. When the winning is determined by the determination means and a predetermined pseudo-effect is performed, the final form is performed from the initial form through the intermediate form with a higher probability than the probability of determining that the form is changed only from the initial form to the intermediate form. When the second form change sound is output by the speaker while the predetermined pseudo effect is being performed, it is set to be determined to change the form up to, as compared with the case where the first form change sound is output. With a high probability, the effect movable accessory may be set so as to change its form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.
With this configuration, when the effect movable accessory changes its form to the final form, it is produced in a configuration where the expectation that a special game will occur is higher than when the effect movable accessory is formed only to the intermediate form. When the movable accessory changes its form, one of the first form change sound and the second form change sound is output from the speaker. Then, the probability that the effect movable accessory changes its form to the final form differs depending on the type of the output form change sound. As a result, the player can infer from the form change sound type the form change type of the effect movable accessory, and by extension, the degree of expectation that the special game will occur.

In addition, since the form change sound is output before the form change type of the effect movable accessory is determined, the player can use the already output type of the form change sound as an index to determine the degree of expectation that the special game will occur. You can get the interest to guess until the type of change in the form of the movable character is decided. Specifically, since this morphological change sound was output this time before the morphological change of the production movable accessory was completed, I expected that the morphological change would occur until the final form, or this time. Since this morphological change sound is output, the player may be discouraged that the morphological change ends up to the intermediate morphology and the morphological change does not occur until the final morphology, or the player feels emotions based on multiple types of predictions. Can be done. Furthermore, even after the morphological change of the production movable accessory is completed, the morphological change type predicted from the morphological change sound type is compared with the actual morphological change type, and the accuracy of the prediction is self-scored. Unprecedented tastes such as trying to realize more accurate predictions will be improved.

Further, pinball game machine, due to the variable display of special symbols, an initial form determining means for determining whether rendering movable won game is in the initial form, directing movable won game by the initial mode judging unit Further includes an initial form return control means for performing return control for returning the effect movable accessory to the initial form when it is determined that is not in the initial form, and the form change sound output means returns to the initial form. Even if the return control is performed by the control means, even if the movable accessory for production does not return to the initial form, the same form change sound as the form change sound output when the return is returned is produced by the speaker. You may output it.

With this configuration, even if the effect movable accessory cannot change its form due to a trouble such as a failure, that is, even if the form change of the effect movable accessory cannot be executed. Since the output of the morphological change sound corresponding to the morphological change type is executed, the player can change the output morphological change sound type even when the effect movable accessory does not change its morphology due to a failure. Based on this, it is possible to infer the degree of expectation that a special game will occur. In addition, the player and the clerk of the game store visually recognize that the form-changing accessory has not changed in spite of the fact that the form-changing sound is output, so that the effect-movable accessory is out of order. At first glance, this can be easily grasped.

Further, pinball game machines, numerical data power supply to those elastic ball game machine has been stored immediately before being stopped, the backup means for even when the power supply is cut off to hold And, due to the fact that the power is supplied to the ball game machine, the effect movable accessory is provided with a power-on form change means for changing the form of the effect movable accessory, and the effect movable accessory is provided by the power-on form change means. The form is changed from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form, but when the form is changed, the form change sound may not be output by the speaker.

By providing a backup means in this way, even if the power supply to the ball game machine is stopped due to a power failure or the like, the extracted numerical data (random value) Can be prevented from disappearing, so there is no disadvantage to the player. Further, it is possible to confirm whether or not the form change of the effect movable accessory is normal due to the start of power supply to the ball game machine.

Further, when the effect movable accessory is changed in form to the final form by the form change means when the power is turned on, unlike the form change during the simulated effect, the form change sound is not output from the speaker. As a result, even if the player sees the test form change in the configuration in which the memory immediately before the power is cut off is retained by the backup means and the test form change of the effect movable accessory is executed at the start of power supply, even if the player sees the test form change. That is, even if the form of the effect movable accessory changes to the final form, the form change sound is not output when the form of the effect movable accessory changes at the start of power supply, so that the player changes the form of the effect movable accessory. It is possible to prevent a person from having a false sense of expectation by misunderstanding that a special game may occur later.

It is a voice. The description of the type of displacement sound and the like will be described in detail later. The game sound in the second embodiment described later is a sound including a morphological change sound related to the morphological change of the shield accessory (directing movable accessory) 101, and the game sound in the third embodiment described later is also the same. , When only the first sword accessory (directing movable accessory) 41 is displaced, or the second sword accessory (directing movable accessory) 42 is displaced following the first sword accessory (directing movable accessory) 41. In this case, it is a sound including a displacement sound related to the displacement of the first sword accessory (directing movable accessory) 41.

With reference to FIG. 5, the power-on processing by the main control device 80 of the pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a flow chart of processing at power-on.

When the power of the pachinko machine 50 is turned on, the main control device 80 sets the point value of the stack pointer to 8000H (S500), sets the interrupt mode (S505), and permits access to the built-in RAM (S510). , The process of clearing the power off flag is executed (S515), and the process is transferred to S520.

Although not shown, these processes are not shown, but are the processes when the power is turned off, in detail, the process of setting the power off flag, the process of calculating and saving the RAM judgment value, the process of saving the generated information when the power is turned off, and the access of the built-in RAM. This is the process when the power is turned on, which corresponds to the "process when the power is cut off", which is composed of prohibited processes.
The “process when a power supply is cut off” is a process for holding the numerical data stored immediately before the power supply to the pachinko machine 50 is stopped, even when the power supply is cut off.

In S520, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the RAM clear switch is ON. Then, when an affirmative determination is obtained (S520: Yes), the process shifts to S560, and when a negative determination is obtained (S520: No), the process shifts to S525.

In S525, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the information generated when the power is turned off is normal. Then, when an affirmative determination is obtained (S525: Yes), the process shifts to S530, and when a negative determination is obtained (S525: No), the process shifts to S560.

In S530, the main control device 80 calculates the RAM determination value of the main RAM, and shifts the processing to S535.

In S535, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the RAM determination value of the main RAM is normal. Then, when an affirmative determination is obtained (S535: Yes), the process shifts to S540, and when a negative determination is obtained (S535: No), the process shifts to S560.

In S540, the main control device 80 clears the information generated when the power is turned off, and shifts the process to S545.

In S545, the main control device 80 executes a command transmission process at the time of power recovery, and shifts the process to S550.

In S560, the main control device 80 shifts to the case of affirmative judgment in S520 and negative judgment in S525 or S535. In S560, as a process for returning to the initial state, the main control device 80 of the main RAM as the stored information immediately before the power is cut off. Clear all to 0 and shift the process to S565.

In S565, the main control device 80 sets initial values of various random numbers and shifts the processing to S570.

In S570, the main control device 80 performs the initial setting of the main RAM, and shifts the processing to S550.

In S550, the main control device 80 executes a process of setting the movable accessory test flag to 1, and shifts the process to S555. The movable accessory test flag is a flag that is a condition for executing the test drive of the movable accessory that is performed when the power is turned on by setting 1. It is determined in "each output process" (S60) of the main routine described later that the flag is set, and if it is affirmative, it relates to the test drive of the movable accessory scheduled to be executed only when the power is turned on. The process of transmitting a command instructing execution to the sub-integrated control device 83 is configured to be performed.

Next, in S555, the main control device 80 executes the interrupt permission setting, whereby the pachinko machine 50 is restored to the state immediately before the power is cut off, or the stored information immediately before the pachinko machine 50 is turned off is cleared. In the state, this process is terminated and the process shifts to the main routine.

The main routine executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed with hard interrupts approximately every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process executed only once from S10 to S65 is referred to as "main process", and the process of S70 which is repeatedly executed as long as the time allows within the time remaining after executing this process is "main process". It is called "residual processing". The "main process" is periodically executed by the above interrupt.

When a hard interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of the predetermined area of the RAM as the memory is a predetermined value, and when the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to the main process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether or not it is okay. When the interrupt is not a normal interrupt, it is possible that the microcomputer runs out of control when the power is turned on or due to noise or the like. However, since it can be considered that there is almost no runaway of the microcomputer due to recent technological improvements, it is usually when the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

When it is determined that the interrupt is not a normal interrupt (S10: no), each initial setting (for example, writing a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory and using a special symbol and a normal symbol as the initial symbol) to the work area of the memory is performed. (Writing of value, etc.) is performed (S15), and the process proceeds to residual processing (S70).

When an affirmative determination of a normal interrupt is made (S10: yes), the initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the value of the initial value random number by +1 each time this process is executed, and adds +1 to the value of the initial value random number before executing this process, but the random number value before executing this process is the maximum. When the value is "3966", it returns to the initial value "0" in the next processing, and 3967 integers from "0" to "3966" are repeatedly created in ascending order.

The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that increments by +1 each time the process is executed in the same manner as the initial value random number update process, and when the maximum value is "3966", it starts in the next process. It returns to "0" which is the value of, and 3967 integers from "0" to "3966" are repeatedly created in ascending order. The first value of the big hit determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. Assuming that this value is 250, the random numbers for determining the jackpot are updated as "250", "251", "252" ... "3966", "0", "1", and so on.

When the big hit determination random number makes one round (3967 times, it is updated), the value of the initial value random number at that time is set to the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is +1 from the initial value. Performs an increment process. Then, when the big hit determination random number makes one round again, the operation of setting the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the big hit determination random number is performed. That is, this series of operations will be repeated. In the above example, when the big hit determination random number becomes "249", it is one round, so the value after "249" is the value of the initial value random number. If the value of the initial random number is "87", it changes to "249", "87", "88" ... "3966", "0", "1" ... "86", and "86". Next to is the new value of the initial value random number. The number of values determined to be a big hit in the normal probability state is 10, and the values are "775" to "777", "1775" to "1777", "2774" to "2777", and the big hit is in the high probability state. The number of values determined to be 100 is 100, and the values are "758" to "777", "1314" to "1333", "1758" to "1777", "2758" to "2777", "3314" to "3333". ..

The big hit symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 100 integers from "0" to "99", and is incremented by 1 for each process and exceeds the maximum value, which is the initial value "0". Return to.

The hit determination random number update process (S35) following S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers from "0" to "996", and is incremented by +1 for each process, and when the maximum value is exceeded, the initial value is used. Return to a certain "0". The values to be won are 31 to 40 in the normal probability state and 31 to 996 in the high probability state. In addition, this hit determination random number update process is used for the lottery of ordinary symbols, and other initial value random numbers, jackpot determination random numbers, jackpot symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are drawn for special symbols. Used for.

The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 229 integers from "0" to "228", and is incremented by 1 for each process and exceeds the maximum value, which is the initial value "0". Return to. The number of values that reach when the fluctuation time shortening function is not activated in the normal probability state is 21, and the values are "0" to "20". In the normal probability state, the reach is reached when the fluctuation time shortening function is activated. The number of values is 5, the values are "0" to "4", the number of values to reach in the high probability state is 6, and the values are "0" to "5".

The random number update process (S45) for determining the fluctuation pattern is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers of "0" to "1020", and is incremented by 1 for each process and is the initial value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0".

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), confirmation of winning of the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12 and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main control device 80 are executed.

In this embodiment, when the game ball wins the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a fluctuation pattern determination random number, and a reach determination random number are acquired. However, the number of hold storages is limited to 4 at each of the 1st start port 11 and the 2nd start port 12, and when the hold memory is 4 full, the game ball is at the 1st start port 11 or the 1st start port 11. 2 Even if a prize is won in the starting port 12, only the prize ball is paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored on hold.

Subsequently, a hit / fail determination process (S55) is performed as a condition establishment determination means for determining whether or not it is a big hit. When the pass / fail determination process (S55) is completed, each output process (S60) such as an image output process is subsequently executed.
In each output process (S60), the main control device 80 refers to the effect symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub-integrated control device 83, the grand prize opening solenoid 14b, etc. according to the progress of the game. Each output process is executed. That is, when it is detected by the prize confirmation process (S50) that there is a prize for the game ball at each prize opening on the game board 1, the prize ball data is output to the payout control device 81 in order to pay out the game ball as the prize ball. The processing to output the sound data corresponding to the game state to the sub-integrated control device 83 is to output an error signal to the effect symbol control device 82 to notify that an error is occurring when there is an abnormality in the pachinko machine 50. Execute each process to be performed.

In each output process (S60) of this embodiment, although not shown, in addition to the above process, a process of determining whether or not the movable accessory test flag is set to 1 is executed, and the determination process is affirmative. When a judgment is made, a process is performed in which an instruction command related to test drive of a movable accessory, which is scheduled to be executed only at the first interrupt when the power is turned on, is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. There is. Further, the main control device 80 performs a process of setting the movable accessory test flag to 0 and clearing the process, in addition to the process of transmitting an instruction command related to the test drive of the movable accessory to the sub-integrated control device 83. .. As a result, the transmission of the instruction command related to the test drive of the movable accessory and the test drive of the movable accessory, which will be described later and executed by the sub-integrated control device based on the command, can be executed only once when the power is turned on. Has been done.

The subsequent fraud monitoring process (S65) monitors whether or not fraud has been performed on the normal winning openings (1st left winning opening 31, 2nd left winning opening 32, 3rd left winning opening 33, 4th left winning opening 34). It is a process to determine whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is more than the predetermined number, and if it is more than the predetermined number, it is determined to be fraudulent and a notification to that effect is given. It is a process to do.

The above-mentioned residual processing following this processing is composed of the initial value random number update processing (S70), and is exactly the same processing as the above-mentioned S20. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time allows until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the main processing from S10 to S65 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not the jackpot processing is executed, the difference in the display mode of the special symbol, and the like. As a result, the number of times the residual processing is executed also differs for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial random number by executing the interrupt processing shown in FIG. 6 once is not uniform. As a result, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the jackpot determination random number is extremely reduced. If the initial value random numbers (3967 ways from 0 to 3966) occur to the same extent when the big hit determination random number makes one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/3967. Further, the above-mentioned hit determination random number update process (S35) may also be configured to be executed within the residual process.

The winning confirmation process (starting winning confirmation process) of S50 provided in the above-mentioned main routine will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the start winning confirmation process executed by the main control device 80. The main control device 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 11 based on the detection signal of the first start port switch 11a (S100). If the judgment is affirmative (S100: yes), the random number for determining the jackpot, the random number for determining the jackpot symbol, the random number for reaching, the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first hold memory is full (this embodiment). Then, it is determined whether or not the number is (4) (S105).

If the first hold storage is not full (S105: no), each of the above random numbers is stored as the first hold storage, and the number of lights of the first special symbol hold number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110). If there are already four first hold storages (S105: yes), the hold storage is not performed, and the process proceeds to S115 without increasing the number of lights of the first special symbol hold number display device 18.

When it is determined that the game ball has not entered the first start port 11 (S100: no), the process proceeds to S115, and the game ball is entered into the second start port 12 based on the detection signal of the second start port switch 12a. Determines whether or not the ball has entered. If it is affirmative judgment (S115: yes), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second hold memory is full (this embodiment). Then, it is determined whether or not there are 4) (S120).

If the second hold storage is not full (S120: no), each of the above random numbers is stored as the second hold storage, and the number of lights of the second special symbol hold number display device 19 is incremented by 1 (S125). If there are already four second hold storages (S120: yes), the second hold is not stored, and the present process is terminated (returned) without increasing the number of lights of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Further, even when the game ball has not entered the second starting port 12 (S115: no), this process is terminated.

In the hit / fail determination process shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating based on the jackpot flag (S200). If the judgment of S200 is a negative judgment, the special symbol is not changing (S205: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S210: no), the process proceeds to S250 of FIG. (S250).

If there is this hold memory (S250: yes), the second hold memory number is decremented (S255), and the process proceeds to S270. If there is no second hold memory (S250: no), it is determined whether or not there is a first hold memory (above, hold memory according to S110) (S260). If there is a first hold memory (S260: yes), the first hold memory number is decremented (S265), and the process proceeds to S270.

In S270, whether or not the oldest second hold memory (first hold memory when migrated from S265) is read (the hold memory is erased) and the probability change flag is set (that is, 1). To judge. Here, when the probability variation flag is 1, it means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. If the judgment is affirmative (S270: yes), the read random number for determining the jackpot is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S275). Here, the number of hit values is 100, which is 758 to 777, 1314 to 1333, 1758 to 1777, 2758 to 2777, and 3314 to 3333. That is, the hit probability is 1 / 39.67. If the judgment is negative (S270: no), the read random number for determining the jackpot is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S280). Here, the number of hit values is 10, which is 775 to 777, 1775 to 1777, and 2774 to 2777. That is, the hit probability is about 1/397.

Based on the determination of S275 or S280, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S285), and if it is affirmative (S285: yes), the winning symbol is determined by the random number for determining the big hit symbol (S290). When the jackpot symbol is determined in this way, the fluctuation pattern is determined by the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern (S295), and the jackpot setting process is performed (S300). What is the jackpot setting process? Depending on the determined jackpot symbol, the game status after the jackpot (whether or not there is a probability change or opening extension, etc.) and information related to the jackpot game (big hit opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are displayed. This is the process to acquire. The opening time and ending time in the case of a 2-round probability variation jackpot or a 2-round normal jackpot are set to different times according to the number of reserved storages of the special symbol. Hereinafter, the 2-round probability variation jackpot and the 2-round normal jackpot are also collectively referred to as the 2-round jackpot.

If it is determined to be off in S285, it is determined whether or not it is a small hit (S305). The small hit means that the large winning opening 15 is opened twice for a maximum of 0.5 seconds, and after the opening, none of the probability fluctuation function, the time shortening function, and the opening extension function is activated. However, this means that "these functions will not be activated when the small hit occurs or ends", and the state at the start of the fluctuation of the special symbol that caused the small hit is maintained. .. That is, when the fluctuation is started in the probability fluctuation state, the gaming state after the small hit is the probability fluctuation state, when the fluctuation is started in the time reduction state, it is the time reduction state, and the fluctuation is in the open extension state. When is started, it is in the open extension state. Here, when the random number for determining the big hit is 301 to 313, it is regarded as a small hit. That is, the small hit probability is about 1/305. If the judgment is affirmative, the small hit symbol is determined (S310), and the fluctuation pattern is determined by the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern (S315). The small hit symbol is determined by a random number for determining the small hit symbol acquired when the ball enters the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12. This random number takes a value of 0 to 9, and is updated when the random number for determining the jackpot symbol is updated. When the small hit is also out of order (S305: no), the fluctuation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the fluctuation pattern determination random number (S320). When the fluctuation pattern is set by S315 or S320 in this way, the loss setting process is performed (S325). In the loss setting process, if the number of time reductions or the number of probability changes is positive, each is set to -1.

Following S300 or S325, data showing the above-mentioned lottery results, specifically, normal jackpot, probability variation jackpot, number of rounds, reach loss (out of reach but with reach display), small hit, loss without reach display A fluctuation start command (display control command) including data indicating either of them and fluctuation pattern data for specifying the fluctuation time is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S330), and special game processing is performed. The effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbol by the processing of S330, but the main control device 80 also starts the variation of the special symbol almost at the same time.

When it is determined in S205 of FIG. 8 that the special symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process shifts to S350 of FIG. 10 and the symbol fluctuation time (based on the fluctuation pattern of S295, S315, or S320) has elapsed. Judge whether or not. In the case of a negative determination (S350: no), a special game process is performed. In the case of affirmative determination (S350: yes), a setting for displaying a confirmed symbol is set (S355), and it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is a symbol that is a big hit (S360). If a positive determination is made (S360: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S365). If the probability change flag is 1 (S365: yes), the probability change flag is set to 0 in S370, and the process proceeds to S375. If the probability change flag is not 1 (S365: no), the process proceeds to S375 as it is. In S375, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1. When the time saving flag is 1, it indicates that the time saving function of the special symbol and the normal symbol is activated. If the time saving flag is 1 (S375: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S380, and the process proceeds to S385. If the time saving flag is not 1 (S375: no), the process proceeds to S385 as it is.

In S385, the jackpot flag is set by the condition device operation start processing. In the following S390, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in S395, the jackpot start effect processing is performed. In the jackpot start effect processing, a command to start the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (big hit opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. When the jackpot start production process is completed, a special game process is performed.

If it is determined in S360 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a display that will be a big hit (S360: no), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S400), and if it is 1, (S400: yes). , It is determined whether or not the probability variation number is 0 (S405). If the number of probability changes is 0 (S405: yes), the probability change flag is set to 0 in S410 and the process proceeds to S415. When the probability change flag is not 1 (S400: no) or when the probability change number is not 0 (S405: no), the process proceeds to S415 as it is.
In S415, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1, and if it is 1, it is determined whether or not the number of time reductions is 0 (S420). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S420: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S425 and the process proceeds to S430. When the time saving flag is not 1 (S415: no) or when the time saving number is not 0 (S420: no), the process proceeds to S430 as it is.

In S430, it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a symbol that is a small hit. If it is a symbol that becomes a small hit (S430: yes), the special electric accessory operation start process (S435) is performed, and the small hit start effect process is performed in S440. In the small hit start effect processing, a command to start the small hit game and information related to the small hit game (opening time of the small hit, ending time of the small hit, etc.) are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. When the small hit start effect process is completed, the special game process is executed. If it is determined in S430 that the symbol is not a small hit (S430: no), the special game process is executed as it is.

When it is determined in S210 of FIG. 8 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed, the process proceeds to S450 of FIG. 11 and it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has expired. If it is a negative judgment (S450: no), a special game process is performed, and if it is a positive judgment (S450: yes), a definite symbol display process (S455) is performed and then a special game process is performed. In the confirmed symbol display process, a command for displaying the confirmed symbol (symbol confirmation command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the confirmed symbol.

As described above, the "hit / fail determination process" by the main control device 80 of the present embodiment is based on the numerical data (random value) extracted due to the entry of the ball into the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12. Therefore, it is a process of determining whether or not to win (hit or big hit), which is an opportunity to execute the big hit game.

Further, the determination result by the hit / fail determination process is displayed by the variation display mode in the first special figure display device 9 and the second special figure display device 10 described above, and the definite display mode which is the result of the variation display. It has become.

In addition, the effect symbol display device 82 variablely displays a pseudo symbol (also referred to as a decorative symbol or a decorative symbol) corresponding to the special symbol, thereby inciting and notifying the player of the result of the winning / failing lottery. is there.

[Movable accessory test process]
Next, the movable accessory test process will be described with reference to FIG. The movable accessory test process is transmitted based on the determination that 1 is set in the movable accessory test flag in each output process (S60) by the main control device 80 described above. This is a process for the sub-integrated control device 83 to execute the test drive of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100 in this embodiment) when the instruction command related to the test drive is received.

In S580, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the determination process of whether or not the instruction command related to the test drive of the effect movable accessory is received from the main control device 80, and if it is an affirmative determination (S580: yes), The process is shifted to S585, and if a negative determination is made (S580: no), this process is terminated.

In S585, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the test drive process of the effect movable accessory, and ends this process. By executing S585 of the first embodiment, the title accessory 100 is subjected to a test drive in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position via the intermediate position.

In the movable accessory test process of this embodiment, as described above, the test drive is executed only when the instruction command related to the test drive transmitted only when the power is turned on is received.

Further, when the test drive process is executed in S585, even if a predetermined drive process is performed on the effect movable accessory, the sub-integrated control device 83 is different from the time when the effect drive is executed, which will be described later. Is configured not to perform the process of outputting the displacement sound corresponding to the predetermined drive from the speaker 66.

[Production pattern setting process]
Next, the effect pattern setting process will be described with reference to FIG. In the effect pattern setting process of this embodiment, when a variation start command for starting the variation display of the pseudo symbol corresponding to the special symbol is received from the main control device 80 described above, the type of effect pattern related to the so-called pseudo effect Is set, preparations are made prior to driving such as confirmation of the position of the effect movable accessory to be driven when the pseudo effect is performed, and the pseudo effect, drive of the effect movable accessory, and audio output corresponding to the drive are performed. It is a process to start the production such as.

First, in S700, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the fluctuation start command has been received from the main control device 80, and if it is affirmative (S700: yes), the process shifts to S705 and is denied. If it is a determination (S700: no), this process ends. The fluctuation start command is a display control command output by the main control device 80 toward the sub-integrated control device 83 in S330 of the above-mentioned hit / fail determination process (FIG. 9), and upon receiving the command, the effect symbol is displayed. The device 6 starts the variable display of the pseudo symbol (effect symbol) corresponding to the special symbol, and in addition, displays a character or the like on the effect symbol display device 6 to perform a pseudo effect that visually agitates the result of the pass / fail judgment. ..

In S705, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes a process of determining the type of effect pattern to be executed, and shifts the process to S710. The sub-integrated control device 83 includes a plurality of types of effect patterns, and one of the effect patterns is selected and determined in S705. The sub-integrated control device 83 of the present embodiment includes various selection tables shown in FIGS. 17 to 21 described later as an effect pattern selection table composed of a plurality of types of effect patterns, and conditions (variation of special symbols). The effect pattern is determined by referring to one of the selection tables according to the type of time, the result of the hit / fail judgment, and the type of super reach to be executed. The content of the effect pattern of the present embodiment selected at this time is a display mode displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (for example, an aspect relating to the shape, size, color, etc. of the displayed character or character). , Displacement possibility, displacement type, and displacement sound type of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100 in this embodiment) are included. Then, in S705, the content of the effect pattern is set as the content of the effect to be executed later. Later, it will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 17 to 21.

In S710, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes a confirmation process of whether or not the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) is in a predetermined initial position (see FIG. 2), and shifts the process to S715.

In S715, the sub-integrated control device 83 returns the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) to the predetermined initial position, that is, the origin when it is confirmed that the sub-integrated control device 83 is not in the predetermined initial position based on the confirmation result of S710. Is performed, and the process is transferred to S720, and when it is in a predetermined initial position, the process is transferred to S720 as it is.
In the process of returning to the origin, the title accessory motor 100a is driven in order to return and move toward the origin, and if normal detection cannot be obtained by the title accessory sensor 100b, a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) is the upper limit. The title accessory motor 100a is repeatedly driven as. If normal detection cannot be obtained by the title accessory sensor 100b despite driving the title accessory motor 100a for a predetermined number of times, it is considered that the title accessory 100 has an abnormality, for example, 1 is set in the "accessory abnormality flag". Perform the setting process.

In S720, the sub-integrated control device 83 confirms whether or not 1 is set in the "characteristic abnormality flag", that is, whether or not there is an abnormality in the accessory, and if it is affirmative (S720: Yes), the process is transferred to S730, and if it is a negative determination (S720: no), the process is transferred to S725.

In this embodiment, the processing of S710 and S715 is based on the reception of the variation start command in S700, that is, regardless of which variation pattern is selected and determined, the variation start regardless of the type of variation pattern. It is executed every time a command is received.

Further, in this embodiment, the processes of S710 and S715 are executed at each start of the variation display based on the reception of the variation start command in S700. However, it is not limited to the start of the fluctuation, and may be executed every time the fluctuation display ends, for example. As a result, each time the variation display ends, whether or not the driven effect movable accessory is in the initial position, or if there is no variation display, the origin return process is executed. Therefore, preparations can be made with a margin before the start of the next variation display. it can. In addition, when an abnormal state occurs, it is possible to notify the abnormal state and execute a coping process for the abnormal state with a margin before the next fluctuation display is started.

In S725, the sub-integrated control device 83 includes the contents of the effect pattern already set in S705 described above, except for the displacement type (displacement mode) of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100), that is, the pseudo effect. The setting process is performed to set again as the execution target of the effect by limiting only the content and the content of the displacement sound, and the process is transferred to S730.

In S730, the sub-integrated control device 83 limits the content of the effect pattern determined in S705 if there is no accessory abnormality, and limits the effect (sound or light emission) other than the accessory drive in S725 if there is an accessory abnormality. With the contents, the process of starting the production is executed, and the present process is terminated. In S730, the effect content to be executed differs depending on the presence or absence of the accessory abnormality. Therefore, specifically, even if the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) does not return to the origin, it may occur. However, it is configured to perform the production by the production means other than the character drive.

When S730 is executed, the effect is started based on the effect content of the effect pattern set or reset in S705 and S725.
When based on the setting contents of S705, a simulated effect is started, and in this embodiment, a predetermined displacement sound is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect, and the effect movable combination is output at the same timing. It is configured to start the displacement of the object (title accessory 100).
When based on the setting contents of S725, the simulated effect is started, and in this embodiment, only a predetermined displacement sound is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect. ing.
In addition, in such an effect, a light emitting effect by various light emitting members provided in the pachinko machine 50 may also be executed.

As described above, in the "effect pattern setting process" by the sub-integrated control device 83 of the present embodiment, when the super reach A or the super reach B is executed by referring to the various effect pattern selection tables described later in S705. , It is determined whether or not the movable accessory (the title accessory 100 in this embodiment) can be displaced, the displacement type, and the displacement sound type. That is, the title accessory 100 is displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position, or is displaced only from the initial position to the intermediate position, and further, the sound 1 to the sound as the displacement sound related to the displacement at that time. Which of 5 is to be output is determined.

Further, in S730 of the "effect pattern setting process" by the sub-integrated control device 83 of this embodiment, the displacement sound is used as the effect sound related to the displacement of the title accessory 100 based on the displacement sound type determined in S705. It is configured to output from 66.

[Movable accessory drive start processing]
Next, the movable accessory drive start process will be described with reference to FIG. The movable accessory drive start process of this embodiment is a process executed based on the execution of S730 of the effect pattern setting process (FIG. 13) described above. However, in that case, it is a process executed when no accessory abnormality is found based on the setting contents of S705.

First, in S600, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the variation effect executed this time is a predetermined reach, that is, super reach A or super reach B in this embodiment, and whether it is an affirmative determination. If (S600: yes), the process is shifted to S605, and if a negative determination is made (S600: no), this process is terminated.

In S605, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not it is the drive start timing of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100), and if it is affirmative (S605: yes), the process shifts to S610. If the determination is negative (S605: no), this process ends. As described above, in the present embodiment, the drive start timing is configured to arrive after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect. In addition, in order to time the arrival of the timing, a special counter is provided as a reference for determining that the timing has arrived, based on the fact that the counter value becomes 0 after counting down from the start of the simulated effect. Is also good. The drive start timing in this embodiment is the same regardless of whether Super Reach A or Super Reach B is executed, but the drive start timing is not limited to this, and the drive start timing is not limited to this. The timing may be different. In this case, it is preferable to separately provide the super reach A and the super reach B as special counters for timing the drive start timing. As a result, individual drive start timings can be reliably timed. Further, it is desirable that the timing of the individual special counters is started from the start of the pseudo-effect, but the timing is not limited to this, and the timing may be started at different timings.

In S610, the sub-integrated control device 83 starts the drive process of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) according to the content of the effect pattern this time, and ends this process. Specifically, the title accessory motor 100a is driven to be displaced to an intermediate position or a final position according to the content of the effect pattern, and after the displacement, the motor is made to stand by at that position until the "predetermined driving time" is completed.

[Movable accessory drive end processing]
Next, the movable accessory drive end process will be described with reference to FIG. The movable accessory drive end process of this embodiment is a process for terminating the drive process started by executing S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14) described above.

First, in S650, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the end timing of the drive process has arrived, that is, whether or not the "predetermined drive time" has ended, and if it is an affirmative determination ( S650: yes), the process is shifted to S655, and if a negative determination is made (S650: no), this process is terminated.

In S655, the sub-integrated control device 83 ends the drive process of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100), and ends this process. Specifically, a process of driving the title accessory motor 100a to return the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) to the initial position is executed, and this process is completed.

[Action of the production movable accessory of the first embodiment]
With reference to FIG. 22, the operation of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) of this embodiment will be described. That is, the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) of the present embodiment is intermediate from the initial position (origin) shown in FIG. 2 by the control processes of the movable accessory drive start process and the movable accessory drive end process described above. Displace to position or to final position. That is, according to the displacement type shown in the content of the selected and determined effect pattern, the displacement is made to either the intermediate position or the final position, and when the end time of the predetermined driving time is reached, the return displacement to the initial position is performed. Do.

When the displacement to the intermediate position is performed, the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) is displaced downward from the initial position, and is displaced to the position shown in FIG. 22A, that is, the intermediate position. The broken line in the figure indicates the initial position. When displaced to the intermediate position of this embodiment, the amount of downward displacement is approximately 1/3 of the height dimension of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100).

When the displacement to the final position is performed, the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) is also displaced downward from the initial position, and is displaced to the position shown in FIG. 22B, that is, the final position. The broken line in the figure indicates the initial position. When displaced to the final position of this embodiment, the amount of downward displacement is approximately ⅔ of the height dimension of the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100).

The intermediate position is set on the displacement route from the initial position to the final position. Therefore, in other words, the sub-integrated control device 83 refers to the content of the effect pattern, and when the content has information of displacement to the final position as the displacement type, the effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) is displayed. The downward displacement is started from the initial position, and the displacement is made to the final position via the intermediate position. It should be noted that the configuration of displacing through the intermediate position may be either stopped once or passed without stopping when arriving at the intermediate position in the middle of displacement. Both of them may be appropriately selected, for example, by lottery to generate a case where the device is temporarily stopped or a case where the device is not stopped. By doing so, it is possible to instigate whether the displacement this time was a displacement to the intermediate position while temporarily stopped, or whether the displacement is to start again after the stop and then to the final position. It can be done to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the case of temporarily stopping, a plurality of types of long and short stop times may be provided, and which one to select may be determined by lottery. Further, whether or not to stop once, and whether or not to stop once, and the length of the stop time when temporarily stopped may be set according to the degree of expectation of a big hit according to the result of the winning or losing lottery. As a result, the player infers the degree of expectation for the big hit depending on whether or not the player stops once, and the length of the stop time when the game is stopped, so that the interest is improved.

The effect movable accessory (title accessory 100) of this embodiment has a configuration in which the displacement from the initial position to the intermediate position and the final position is downwardly displaced. The displacement is not limited to this, and may be an ascending displacement, a left or right displacement, an obliquely upward displacement, or an obliquely downward displacement. Regardless of the displacement, any displacement may be used as long as it has an intermediate position on the process up to the final position.

[About various production patterns of the first embodiment]
With reference to FIGS. 17 to 21, various effect patterns of the above-described embodiment will be described. FIG. 17 (a) is a chart showing the sound type and output content output corresponding to the displacement of the effect movable accessory, and FIG. 17 (b) shows the case of a big hit and when Super Reach A is executed. It is a hit effect pattern selection table A which shows the type of the effect pattern to be selected and determined, and the effect content. FIG. 18 is a loss-time effect pattern selection table A showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of loss and when Super Reach A is executed. FIG. 19 is a hit-time effect pattern selection table B showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of a big hit and when the super reach B is executed. FIG. 20 is a loss-time effect pattern selection table B showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of loss and when Super Reach B is executed. FIG. 21 (a) is a hit-time effect pattern selection table C showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern selected and determined at the time of a big hit and when Super Reach C is executed, and FIG. 21 (b) is a loss. It is a loss-time effect pattern selection table C which shows the type and effect content of the effect pattern which is selected and determined at the time and when super reach C is executed.

(1) Sound type and output content of the first embodiment As shown in FIG. 17A, in this embodiment, the result of the hit / fail judgment, that is, whether the result is a big hit or a loss, is executed when the simulated effect is executed. Refers to various effect pattern tables described later according to the planned reach type, and selects and executes the effect patterns distributed at a predetermined distribution rate. As described above, in this effect pattern, as the contents of the effect pattern in advance, the display mode of the pseudo effect displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (for example, the shape and size of the displayed characters and characters, and (Aspects related to color, etc.), whether or not the movable accessory (the title accessory 100 in this embodiment) can be displaced, the displacement type, and the displacement sound type are included. The displacement sound type and the like of this embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, the sound types output prior to the final determination (determination) of the displacement type of the title accessory 100 are sound 1 to sound 5. It is set with 5 types of sounds. Specifically, the sound contents to be output are "Piron" for sound 1, "Dawn" for sound 2, "Chichichi" for sound 3, "Gogogo" for sound 4, and "Shakin" for sound 5. Further, when the sound 1 is the first displacement sound, the sound 2 is the second displacement sound, and when the sound 3 is the first displacement sound, the sound 4 is the second displacement sound, and the sound 1 or the sound 3 is the first. When it is a displacement sound, the sound 5 becomes the second displacement sound.

When sounds 1 to 4 are output, the types of displacement of the title accessory 100 are the case of displacement to the intermediate position and the case of displacement to the final position, as set in each effect pattern table described later. In any case, it is set, but when the sound 5 is output, it is always set to be displaced to the final position.

(2) Regarding the hit-time effect pattern selection table A of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), the super reach A selects internally, that is, with respect to the execution of the variable display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit. If so, the effect patterns A-1 to 5, the effect patterns B-1 to 5, the effect patterns C-1 to 5, and the effect patterns D-1 to D-1 to 5 are selected by the jackpot as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is done. Further, in each effect pattern, the displacement type of the title accessory 100 and the displacement sound type are preset.

For example, the effect pattern A-1 will be described. When the effect pattern A-1 is selected, the pseudo effect is started, and the sound 1 (“pyrone”) is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed. Along with the output, the title accessory 100 starts displacement to the intermediate position by S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14). The effect pattern A-1 is internally a big hit and is distributed by lottery at 3% when Super Reach A is selected.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table A", which is referred to when a big hit is made internally, the distribution rate of each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the intermediate position and each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position. The total of each is set to 68% when it is displaced to the final position, while it is 32% when it is displaced to the intermediate position. That is, in the hit-time effect pattern selection table A, the probability of determining that the title accessory 100 is displaced only from the initial position to the intermediate position when it is determined to be a big hit in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach A is performed ( 3% of production pattern A-1, 5% of production pattern A-2, 3% of production pattern A-3, 5% of production pattern A-4, 3% of production pattern B-1, production pattern B-2 5%, 3% of production pattern B-3, 5% of production pattern B-4, 32%) higher probability (4% of production pattern A-5, 5% of production pattern B-5) 4%, 5% of production pattern C-1, 7% of production pattern C-2, 5% of production pattern C-3, 7% of production pattern C-4, 6% of production pattern C-5, production pattern 68%, which is the total of 5% of D-1, 7% of effect pattern D-2, 5% of effect pattern D-3, 7% of effect pattern D-4, and 6% of effect pattern D-5. ), It is set to displace from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table A", when the title accessory 100 is eventually displaced to the final position, the displacement is caused by the output of the sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of the displacement. The total rate is 14% (7% for the effect pattern C-2 and 7% for the effect pattern D-2), whereas the displacement is caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). The total distribution rate is 10% (5% of the effect pattern C-1 and 5% of the effect pattern D-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter.

Further, in the "hit effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output is calculated as the ratio A. To do. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 3% of the effect pattern A-1, 3% of the effect pattern B-1, 5% of the effect pattern C-1, and 5% of the effect pattern D-1. The total is 16%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 10%, and the ratio A is 10/16.
Similarly, in the "hit effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output is defined as the ratio B. calculate. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 5% of the effect pattern A-2, 5% of the effect pattern B-2, 7% of the effect pattern C-2, and 7% of the effect pattern D-2. The total is 24%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 14%, and the ratio B is 14/24.
Therefore, the ratio A (10/16 = 60/96) is set to have a higher distribution rate than the ratio B (14/24 = 56/96). That is, in the setting of the "hit effect pattern selection table A", when the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, the probability is higher than when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output. The title accessory 100 is set to be displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position.

As for the relationship between the settings of the sound 2 and the sound 1, the same can be said for the relationship between the settings of the sound 4 and the sound 3, as is clear from the illustrated distribution rate setting state. Furthermore, the same applies to the relationship between the setting of the sound 5 and the sound 1 or the sound 3. That is, the relationship that the sound 1 is the first displacement sound and the sound 2 is the second displacement sound is the relationship that the sound 4 is the second displacement sound when the sound 3 is the first displacement sound and the sound 1 is the second displacement sound. Alternatively, the relationship is the same as the relationship in which the sound 3 is the first displacement sound and the sound 5 is the second displacement sound, and this embodiment includes a plurality of types of the first displacement sound and the second displacement sound. This point is the same in other effect pattern selection tables described later.

(3) Regarding the loss-time effect pattern selection table A of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, super reach A is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internally, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost. In this case, when the effect patterns a-1 to 5, the effect patterns b-1 to 5, the effect patterns c-1 to 5 and the effect patterns d-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach A is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the displacement type of the title accessory 100 and the displacement sound type are preset.

For example, the effect pattern a-1 will be described. When the effect pattern a-1 is selected, the pseudo effect is started, and the sound 1 (“pyrone”) is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed. Along with the output, the title accessory 100 starts displacement to the intermediate position by S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14). The effect pattern a-1 is internally lost and is sorted by lottery at 7% when Super Reach A is selected.

In the "loss effect pattern selection table A", which is referred to when there is an internal loss, the distribution rate of each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the intermediate position and each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position. The total of each is set to 36% when it is displaced to the final position, while it is 64% when it is displaced to the intermediate position. That is, in the loss-time effect pattern selection table A, contrary to the above-mentioned hit-time effect pattern selection table A, when it is determined to be a loss in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach A is performed, the title accessory 100 is selected. Probability of deciding to displace only from the initial position to the intermediate position (7% of effect pattern a-1, 9% of effect pattern a-2, 7% of effect pattern a-3, 9% of effect pattern a-4, Probability lower than the probability (64%), which is the total of 7% of the production pattern b-1, 9% of the production pattern b-2, 7% of the production pattern b-3, and 9% of the production pattern b-4. 8% of pattern a-5, 8% of production pattern b-5, 1% of production pattern c-1, 3% of production pattern c-2, 1% of production pattern c-3, production pattern c-4 3%, 2% of production pattern c-5, 1% of production pattern d-1, 3% of production pattern d-2, 1% of production pattern d-3, 3% of production pattern d-4, production pattern It is set to be displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position by 36%), which is the total of 2% of d-5.

In the "displacement effect pattern selection table A", when the title accessory 100 is eventually displaced to the final position, the displacement is caused by the output of the sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of the displacement. The total rate is 6% (3% for the effect pattern c-2 and 3% for the effect pattern d-2), whereas the displacement is caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). The total distribution rate is 2% (1% of the effect pattern c-1 and 1% of the effect pattern d-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter.

Further, in the "loss production pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases output by the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is calculated as the ratio C. To do. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 7% of the effect pattern a-1, 7% of the effect pattern b-1, 1% of the effect pattern c-1, and 1% of the effect pattern d-1. The total is 16%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 2%, and the ratio C is 2/16.
Similarly, in the "loss production pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output is defined as the ratio D. calculate. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 9% of the effect pattern a-2, 9% of the effect pattern b-2, 3% of the effect pattern c-2, and 3% of the effect pattern d-2. The total is 24%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 6%, and the ratio D is 6/24.
Therefore, the ratio C (2/16 = 12/96) is set to have a lower distribution rate than the ratio D (6/24 = 24/96).
However, when the above-mentioned "hit effect pattern selection table A" is also targeted, that is, when the ratio A and the ratio B are also included, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio A and the ratio C is (60 + 12) / 96 = 72. On the other hand, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio B and the ratio D is (56 + 24) / 96 = 80/96. Therefore, regardless of the result of the hit / fail judgment, when the super reach A is executed, when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output as compared with the case where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. With a high probability, the title accessory 100 is set to be displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position.

(4) Regarding the hit-time effect pattern selection table B of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, super reach B is selected for the execution of the variation display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit internally. In this case, when the effect patterns E-1 to 5, the effect patterns F-1 to 5, the effect patterns G-1 to 5 and the effect patterns H-1 to 5 are big hits and Super Reach B is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the displacement type of the title accessory 100 and the displacement sound type are preset.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table B", which is referred to when a big hit is made internally, the distribution rate of each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the intermediate position and each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position. The total of each is set to 68% when it is displaced to the final position, while it is 32% when it is displaced to the intermediate position. That is, in the hit-time effect pattern selection table B, the probability of determining that the title accessory 100 is displaced only from the initial position to the intermediate position when it is determined to be a big hit in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach B is performed ( 2% of production pattern E-1, 6% of production pattern E-2, 2% of production pattern E-3, 6% of production pattern E-4, 2% of production pattern F-1, production pattern F-2 6%, 2% of production pattern F-3, 6% of production pattern F-4, 32%) higher probability (4% of production pattern E-5, production pattern F-5) 4%, production pattern G-1 4%, production pattern G-2 8%, production pattern G-3 4%, production pattern G-4 8%, production pattern G-5 6%, production pattern 68%, which is the total of 4% of H-1, 8% of production pattern H-2, 4% of production pattern H-3, 8% of production pattern H-4, and 6% of production pattern H-5. ), It is set to displace from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table B", when the title accessory 100 is eventually displaced to the final position, the displacement is caused by the output of the sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of the displacement. The total rate is 16% (8% for the effect pattern G-2 and 8% for the effect pattern H-2), whereas the displacement is caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). The total distribution rate is 8% (4% for the effect pattern G-1 and 4% for the effect pattern H-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter.

Further, in the "hit effect pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output is calculated as the ratio E. To do. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 2% of the effect pattern E-1, 2% of the effect pattern F-1, 4% of the effect pattern G-1, and 4% of the effect pattern H-1. The total is 12%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 8%, and the ratio E is 8/12.
Similarly, in the "hit effect pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output is defined as the ratio F. calculate. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 6% of the effect pattern E-2, 6% of the effect pattern F-2, 8% of the effect pattern G-2, and 8% of the effect pattern H-2. The total is 28%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 16%, and the ratio F is 16/28.
Therefore, the ratio E (8/12 = 56/84) is set to have a higher distribution rate than the ratio F (16/28 = 48/84). That is, in the setting of the "hit effect pattern selection table B", when the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, the probability is higher than when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output. The title accessory 100 is set to be displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position.

(5) Regarding the loss-time effect pattern selection table B of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, super reach B is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internally, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost. In this case, when the effect patterns e-1 to 5, the effect patterns f-1 to 5, the effect patterns g-1 to 5, and the effect patterns h-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach B is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the displacement type of the title accessory 100 and the displacement sound type are preset.

In the "missing effect pattern selection table B", which is referred to when there is an internal loss, the distribution rate of each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the intermediate position and each effect pattern in which the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position. The total of each is set to 44% when it is displaced to the final position, while it is 56% when it is displaced to the intermediate position. That is, in the loss-time effect pattern selection table B, contrary to the above-mentioned hit-time effect pattern selection table B, when it is determined to be a loss in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach B is performed, the title accessory 100 is selected. Probability of deciding to displace only from the initial position to the intermediate position (5% of effect pattern e-1, 9% of effect pattern e-2, 5% of effect pattern e-3, 9% of effect pattern e-4, The probability is lower than the probability (56%, which is the total of 5% of the production pattern f-1, 9% of the production pattern f-2, 5% of the production pattern f-3, and 9% of the production pattern f-4). 7% of pattern e-5, 7% of production pattern f-5, 1% of production pattern g-1, 5% of production pattern g-2, 1% of production pattern g-3, production pattern g-4 5%, 3% of production pattern g-5, 1% of production pattern h-1, 5% of production pattern h-2, 1% of production pattern h-3, 5% of production pattern h-4, production pattern 44%), which is the total of 3% of h-5, is set to be displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position.

In the "displacement effect pattern selection table B", when the title accessory 100 is eventually displaced to the final position, the displacement is caused by the output of the sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of the displacement. The total rate is 10% (5% of the effect pattern g-2, 5% of the effect pattern h-2), whereas the displacement is caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). The total distribution rate is 2% (1% of the effect pattern g-1 and 1% of the effect pattern h-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter.

Further, in the "loss production pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases output by the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is calculated as the ratio G. To do. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 5% of the effect pattern e-1, 5% of the effect pattern f-1, 1% of the effect pattern g-1, and 1% of the effect pattern h-1. The total is 12%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 2%, and the ratio G is 2/12.
Similarly, in the "loss production pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output is defined as the ratio H. calculate. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 9% of the effect pattern e-2, 9% of the effect pattern f-2, 5% of the effect pattern g-2, and 5% of the effect pattern h-2. The total is 28%. Among them, when the title accessory 100 is displaced to the final position, it is the above 10%, and the ratio H is 10/28.
Therefore, the ratio G (2/12 = 14/84) is set to have a lower distribution rate than the ratio H (10/28 = 30/84).
However, when the above-mentioned "hit effect pattern selection table B" is also targeted, that is, when the ratio E and the ratio F are also included, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio E and the ratio G is (56 + 14) / 84 = 70. On the other hand, the sum of the distribution rates of the ratio F and the ratio H is (48 + 30) / 84 = 78/84. Therefore, regardless of the result of the hit / fail judgment, when the super reach B is executed, when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output as compared with the case where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. With a high probability, the title accessory 100 is set to be displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position.

(6) Regarding the hit effect pattern selection table C and the loss effect pattern selection table C of the first embodiment FIG. 21 (a) shows the case where a big hit is internally made and the super reach C is selected. It is a "hit time effect pattern selection table C" referred to in. That is, when Super Reach C is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internal, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit, the effect patterns I-1 to 5 are big hits and Super Reach C is as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is selected. However, when the "hit effect pattern selection table C" is referred to, the displacement of the title accessory 100 is not executed and the displacement sound is not output regardless of the effect pattern. It is set.
Further, FIG. 21B is a “missing effect pattern selection table C” referred to in the case of internal loss and when super reach C is selected. That is, when Super Reach C is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internal, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost, the effect patterns i-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach C is lost as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is selected. However, when the "missing effect pattern selection table C" is referred to, the displacement of the title accessory 100 is executed regardless of the effect pattern, as in the "hit effect pattern selection table C". , And the output of the displacement sound is set not to be performed.

In the first embodiment, when a pseudo-effect with a high expectation of a big hit, that is, Super Reach A or B is selected by the setting of the various effect pattern selection tables, if a big hit is internally produced, the effect is produced. It is easy to displace the movable accessory to the final position, and if it is lost, it is set to displace only to the intermediate position and difficult to displace to the final position. It is possible to infer the degree of expectation that will be a big hit, and further, it is possible to infer the displacement type according to the displacement sound type that is output before the displacement type is determined. As a result, the player can obtain the fun of predicting the displacement type and the jackpot expectation degree by the displacement sound output prior to the displacement of the effect movable accessory.

[Second Example]
Next, the second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment has a configuration partially similar to that of the first embodiment described above, and drawings and explanations relating to the same configuration shall be omitted by referring to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 23, FIG. 24, and FIGS. 25 to 30 of the second embodiment are shown with respect to FIGS. 2, 4, and 17 to 22 of the first embodiment, and mainly this difference is shown. The points will be described. However, with respect to FIGS. 12 to 15, the description according to the content peculiar to the second embodiment will be appropriately described while referring to the drawings of the first embodiment as they are.

FIG. 23 is a front view of the game board 1 of the pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment. Since the various devices and the like provided on the game board 1 are substantially the same as those in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, no reference numerals are given and explanations are omitted. Further, the title accessory 100 described to be provided by the game board 1 in the first embodiment is not provided in the present embodiment. That is, although the same configuration is shown in the figure, this will be described as a configuration that does not function as an effect movable accessory. Under such a premise, the configuration of this embodiment will be described below.

The game board 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a shield accessory 101 as an effect movable accessory whose form can be changed. The shield accessory 101 is arranged as shown in the figure at a position that shields the upper right portion of the screen 6a of the effect symbol display device 6. The morphology of the shield accessory 101 shown in FIG. 23 is an initial morphology before the morphological change.

Although not shown, a schematic configuration of the shield accessory 101 will be described here. The shield accessory 101 is formed of a flat plate shaped like a melon, and is arranged in a downwardly inclined posture from the upper right portion of the screen 6a toward the lower left. Further, the shield accessory 101 is provided with a pair of left and right movable pieces (left) (right) formed in a substantially beak shape on the front surface thereof.

Further, it will be described with reference to FIG. 24. Both the movable piece (left) and the movable piece (right) are pivotally installed on the upper part by a rotation axis (not shown individually), and each of the individual rotation axes is a shield accessory left movable piece which is an individual drive source. The motor 101a for the shield and the motor 101b for the right movable piece of the shield are connected so that the rotation shaft can be rotationally driven. The shield accessory left movable piece motor 101a and the shield accessory right movable piece motor 101b can adopt a so-called stepping motor to rotate the rotation axis by an arbitrary rotation angle, whereby the movable piece (the movable piece ( The left) or movable piece (right) can be displaced in any displacement mode. Further, the shield accessory left movable piece motor 101a and the shield accessory right movable piece motor 101b rotate in opposite directions of rotation, and in addition, the rotation angles are controlled to be the same angle. Therefore, when one is rotated by 15 degrees from the initial form, the other is also rotated by 15 degrees, and when the initial form is 0 degrees in total, the form opened by 30 degrees (intermediate shown in FIG. 30A). (Refer to the form). Furthermore, when one is rotated by 30 degrees from the initial form, the other is also rotated by 30 degrees, and when the initial form is 0 degrees in total, the form opened by 60 degrees (shown in FIG. 30B). (See final form).

Further, although the shield accessory 101 changes its form by driving the movable piece (left) and the movable piece (right), the shield accessory left movable piece for detecting whether or not it has returned to the initial form after the change in form. A sensor 101c for a shield and a sensor 101d for a left movable piece of a shield are provided. The shield accessory left movable piece sensor 101c detects that the movable piece (left) is in the position shown in FIG. 23, and the shield accessory left movable piece sensor 101d detects that the movable piece (right) is in the position shown in FIG. It is used as an index to confirm that the initial form has been restored.

The shield accessory left movable piece motor 101a and the shield accessory right movable piece motor 101b are driven and controlled by the sub-integrated control device 83, so that the shield accessory 101 has the form shown in FIG. 23 as the initial form. The form can be changed into two types with different degrees of opening. That is, the morphological change up to the most open final form as shown in FIG. 30 (b) and the morphological change up to the intermediate form as shown in FIG. 30 (a) existing between the final form and the initial form. It is configured to do. The morphological change up to the final form is such that the shield accessory 101 starts the morphological change from the initial form and changes the morphology to the final form via the intermediate form. In this case, it may be paused in the intermediate form, or it may pass without stopping. An intermediate form may be provided on the process of morphological change from the initial form to the final form. Further, in any of the morphological changes, after the morphological change, the morphological change returns to the initial morphology after a lapse of a predetermined time. The specific action of the shield accessory 101 will be described in detail later.

[Movable accessory test process]
Next, the movable accessory test process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The movable accessory test process is transmitted based on the determination that 1 is set in the movable accessory test flag in each output process (S60) by the main control device 80 described above. This is a process for the sub-integrated control device 83 to execute the test drive of the effect movable accessory (in this embodiment, the shield accessory 101) when the instruction command related to the test drive is received.

In S580, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the determination process of whether or not the instruction command related to the test drive of the effect movable accessory is received from the main control device 80, and if it is an affirmative determination (S580: yes), The process is shifted to S585, and if a negative determination is made (S580: no), this process is terminated.

In S585, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the test drive process of the effect movable accessory, and ends this process. By executing S585 of the second embodiment, the shield accessory 101 performs a test drive that changes its form to the final form via the intermediate form.

In the movable accessory test process of this embodiment, as described above, the test drive is executed only when the instruction command related to the test drive transmitted only when the power is turned on is received.

Further, when the test drive process is executed in S585, even if a predetermined drive process is performed on the effect movable accessory, the sub-integrated control device 83 is different from the time when the effect drive is executed, which will be described later. Is configured not to perform the process of outputting the morphological change sound corresponding to the predetermined drive from the speaker 66.

[Production pattern setting process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the effect pattern setting process in the second embodiment will be described. In the effect pattern setting process of this embodiment, when a variation start command for starting the variation display of the pseudo symbol corresponding to the special symbol is received from the main control device 80 described above, the type of effect pattern related to the so-called pseudo effect Is set, and preparations are made prior to driving such as confirmation of the form of the effect movable accessory (position of the shield accessory left movable piece and the shield accessory right movable piece) to be driven when the pseudo effect is performed, and the pseudo effect is performed. This is a process for starting an effect, a drive of a movable accessory (form change), and an audio (form change sound) output corresponding to the drive.

First, in S700, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the fluctuation start command has been received from the main control device 80, and if it is affirmative (S700: yes), the process shifts to S705 and is denied. If it is a determination (S700: no), this process ends. The fluctuation start command is a display control command output by the main control device 80 toward the sub-integrated control device 83 in S330 of the above-mentioned hit / fail determination process (FIG. 9), and upon receiving the command, the effect symbol is displayed. The device 6 starts the variable display of the pseudo symbol (effect symbol) corresponding to the special symbol, and in addition, displays a character or the like on the effect symbol display device 6 to perform a pseudo effect that visually agitates the result of the pass / fail judgment. ..

In S705, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes a process of determining the type of effect pattern to be executed, and shifts the process to S710. The sub-integrated control device 83 includes a plurality of types of effect patterns, and one of the effect patterns is selected and determined in S705. The sub-integrated control device 83 of the present embodiment includes various selection tables shown in FIGS. 25 to 29, which will be described later, as an effect pattern selection table composed of a plurality of types of effect patterns, and conditions (variation of special symbols). The effect pattern is determined by referring to one of the selection tables according to the type of time, the result of the hit / fail judgment, and the type of super reach to be executed. The content of the effect pattern of the present embodiment selected at this time is a display mode displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (for example, an aspect relating to the shape, size, color, etc. of the displayed character or character). , Whether or not the form of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101 in this embodiment) can be changed, the form change type, and the form change sound type are included. Then, in S705, the content of the effect pattern is set as the content of the effect to be executed later. Later, it will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 25 to 29.

In S710, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes a confirmation process of whether or not the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) is in a predetermined initial form (see FIG. 23), and shifts the process to S715.

In S715, when it is confirmed that the sub-integrated control device 83 is not in the predetermined initial form based on the confirmation result in S710, the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) is placed in the predetermined initial form, that is, the shield accessory left. The process of returning the positions of the movable piece and the right movable piece of the shield accessory to the origin is performed, and the process is transferred to S720, and when it is in the predetermined initial form, the process is transferred to S720 as it is.
In the process of returning to the origin, the motor 101a for the left movable piece of the shield accessory and the motor 101b for the right movable piece of the shield accessory are driven to move back toward the origin, and the sensor 101c for the left movable piece of the shield accessory and the shield. If normal detection cannot be obtained by the accessory right movable piece sensor 101d, the shield accessory left movable piece motor 101a and the shield accessory right movable piece motor 101b are repeatedly used up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times). Drive. Despite the drive of the shield accessory left movable piece motor 101a and the shield accessory right movable piece motor 101b over a predetermined number of times, the shield accessory left movable piece sensor 101c and the shield accessory right movable piece sensor 101d If normal detection cannot be obtained, it is assumed that the shield accessory 101 has an abnormality, and for example, a process of setting 1 in the "accessory abnormality flag" is performed.

In S720, the sub-integrated control device 83 confirms whether or not 1 is set in the "characteristic abnormality flag", that is, whether or not there is an abnormality in the accessory, and if it is affirmative (S720: Yes), the process is transferred to S730, and if it is a negative determination (S720: no), the process is transferred to S725.

In this embodiment, the processing of S710 and S715 is based on the reception of the variation start command in S700, that is, regardless of which variation pattern is selected and determined, the variation start regardless of the type of variation pattern. It is executed every time a command is received.

Further, in this embodiment, the processes of S710 and S715 are executed at each start of the variation display based on the reception of the variation start command in S700. However, it is not limited to the start of the fluctuation, and may be executed every time the fluctuation display ends, for example. As a result, each time the variation display ends, the origin return process is executed whether or not the effect movable accessory whose form has changed is in the initial form, so that preparations are made with a margin before the start of the next variation display. Can be done. In addition, when an abnormal state occurs, it is possible to notify the abnormal state and execute a coping process for the abnormal state with a margin before the next fluctuation display is started.

In S725, the sub-integrated control device 83 includes the contents of the effect pattern already set in S705 described above, except for the form change type (form change mode) of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101), that is, a pseudo. The setting process for setting the effect execution target again is performed by limiting only the content of the effect and the content of the form change sound, and the process is transferred to S730.

In S730, the sub-integrated control device 83 limits the content of the effect pattern determined in S705 if there is no accessory abnormality, and limits the effect (sound or light emission) other than the accessory drive in S725 if there is an accessory abnormality. With the contents, the process of starting the production is executed, and the present process is terminated. In S730, the effect content to be executed differs depending on the presence or absence of the accessory abnormality. Therefore, specifically, even if the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) does not return to the initial form, a state occurs. Even so, the production by the production means other than the character drive is configured to be executed.

When S730 is executed, the effect is started based on the effect content of the effect pattern set or reset in S705 and S725.
When based on the setting contents of S705, a pseudo effect is started, and in this embodiment, a predetermined form change sound is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the pseudo effect, and the effect is movable at the same timing. It is configured to start the morphological change of the accessory (shield accessory 101).
When based on the setting contents of S725, the simulated effect is started, and in this embodiment, only a predetermined form change sound is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect. Has been done.
In addition, in such an effect, a light emitting effect by various light emitting members provided in the pachinko machine 50 may also be executed.

As described above, in the "effect pattern setting process" by the sub-integrated control device 83 of the present embodiment, when the super reach A or the super reach B is executed by referring to the various effect pattern selection tables described later in S705. , It is determined whether or not the form change of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101 in this embodiment), the form change type, and the form change sound type. That is, the shield accessory 101 is morphologically changed from the initial morphology to the final morphology via the intermediate morphology, or is morphologically changed only from the initial morphology to the intermediate morphology, and further, as a morphological change sound related to the morphological change at that time. It is determined which of sound 1 to sound 5 is to be output.

Further, in S730 of the "effect pattern setting process" by the sub-integrated control device 83 of this embodiment, the form change is performed as the effect sound related to the form change of the shield accessory 101 based on the form change sound type determined in S705. It is configured to output sound from the speaker 66.

[Movable accessory drive start processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the movable accessory drive start processing in the second embodiment will be described. The movable accessory drive start process of this embodiment is a process executed based on the execution of S730 of the effect pattern setting process (FIG. 13) described above. However, in that case, it is a process executed when no accessory abnormality is found based on the setting contents of S705.

First, in S600, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the variation effect executed this time is a predetermined reach, that is, super reach A or super reach B in this embodiment, and whether it is an affirmative determination. If (S600: yes), the process is shifted to S605, and if a negative determination is made (S600: no), this process is terminated.

In S605, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not it is the drive (morphological change) start timing of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101), and if it is an affirmative determination (S605: yes), S610. If the determination is negative (S605: no), the process is terminated. As described above, in the present embodiment, the drive start timing is configured to arrive after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect. In addition, in order to time the arrival of the timing, a special counter is provided as a reference for determining that the timing has arrived, based on the fact that the counter value becomes 0 after counting down from the start of the simulated effect. Is also good. The drive start timing in this embodiment is the same regardless of whether Super Reach A or Super Reach B is executed, but the drive start timing is not limited to this, and the drive start timing is not limited to this. The timing may be different. In this case, it is preferable to separately provide the super reach A and the super reach B as special counters for timing the drive start timing. As a result, individual drive start timings can be reliably timed. Further, it is desirable that the timing of the individual special counters is started from the start of the pseudo-effect, but the timing is not limited to this, and the timing may be started at different timings.

In S610, the sub-integrated control device 83 starts the drive process of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) according to the content of the effect pattern this time, and ends this process. Specifically, the motor 101a for the left movable piece of the shield accessory and the motor 101b for the right movable piece of the shield accessory are driven to change the form to the intermediate form or the final form according to the content of the effect pattern, and the form is changed after the form change. Waits until the "predetermined drive time" is completed.

[Movable accessory drive end processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the movable accessory drive end process in the second embodiment will be described. The movable accessory drive end process of this embodiment is a process for terminating the drive process started by executing S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14) described above.

First, in S650, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the end timing of the drive process has arrived, that is, whether or not the "predetermined drive time" has ended, and if it is an affirmative determination ( S650: yes), the process is shifted to S655, and if a negative determination is made (S650: no), this process is terminated.

In S655, the sub-integrated control device 83 ends the drive process of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101), and ends this process. Specifically, the process of driving the motor 101a for the left movable piece of the shield accessory and the motor 101b for the right movable piece of the shield accessory to return the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) to the initial form is executed. End the process.

[Action of the production movable accessory of the second embodiment]
With reference to FIG. 30, the operation of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) of the second embodiment will be described. That is, the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) of the present embodiment is intermediate from the initial form (origin) shown in FIG. 23 by the control processes of the movable accessory drive start process and the movable accessory drive end process described above. The morphology changes to the morphology or to the final morphology. That is, the form changes to either the intermediate form or the final form according to the form change type shown in the content of the selected and determined effect pattern, and when the end time of the predetermined driving time arrives, the initial form is restored. Make a morphological change.

When changing the form to the intermediate form, the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) has the shield accessory left movable piece and the shield accessory right movable piece both 15 degrees each about the upper rotation axis from the initial form. The morphology changes to the morphology shown in FIG. 30A, that is, the intermediate morphology.

When changing the form up to the final form, the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) also has the shield accessory left movable piece and the shield accessory right movable piece both centered on the upper rotation axis from the initial form. It is rotated by 30 degrees and separated, and the form changes to the form shown in FIG. 30B, that is, the final form.

The intermediate form is set on the process of changing the form from the initial form to the final form. Therefore, in other words, the sub-integrated control device 83 refers to the content of the effect pattern, and when the content contains information that changes the form up to the final form as the form change type, the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101). The morphological change is started from the initial morphology, and the morphological change is made to the final morphology through the intermediate morphology. It should be noted that the configuration in which the morphology is changed via the intermediate morphology may be either stopped once or passed without stopping when the intermediate morphology is changed in the middle of the morphological change. .. Both of them may be appropriately selected, for example, by lottery to generate a case where the device is temporarily stopped or a case where the device is not stopped. By doing so, is the morphological change this time a morphological change up to the intermediate form while temporarily stopped, or is the morphological change started again after the temporary stop and the morphological change is performed until the final form? It is possible to improve the interest of the game by inciting.

Further, in the case of temporarily stopping, a plurality of types of long and short stop times may be provided, and which one to select may be determined by lottery. Further, whether or not to stop once, and whether or not to stop once, and the length of the stop time when temporarily stopped may be set according to the degree of expectation of a big hit according to the result of the winning or losing lottery. As a result, the player infers the degree of expectation for the big hit depending on whether or not the player stops once, and the length of the stop time when the game is stopped, so that the interest is improved.

In addition, in the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101) of the present embodiment, the form change from the initial form to the intermediate form and the final form is performed, and both the shield accessory left movable piece and the shield accessory right movable piece rotate at the upper part. It is configured to rotate about a shaft by a predetermined angle to separate it. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention includes a configuration in which the shield accessory 101 changes its form depending on various aspects. And, regardless of the form change, any configuration may have an intermediate form on the process up to the final form.

[About various production patterns of the second embodiment]
With reference to FIGS. 25 to 29, various effect patterns in the second embodiment described above will be described. FIG. 25 (a) is a chart showing the sound type and output content to be output in response to the change in the form of the effect movable accessory, and FIG. 25 (b) is the case where the big hit and the super reach A are executed. It is a hit-time effect pattern selection table A which shows the type and effect contents of the effect pattern which is selected and determined in. FIG. 26 is a loss-time effect pattern selection table A showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of loss and when Super Reach A is executed. FIG. 27 is a hit-time effect pattern selection table B showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of a big hit and when the super reach B is executed. FIG. 28 is a loss-time effect pattern selection table B showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of loss and when Super Reach B is executed. FIG. 29 (a) is a hit-time effect pattern selection table C showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern selected and determined at the time of a big hit and when Super Reach C is executed, and FIG. 29 (b) is a loss. It is a loss-time effect pattern selection table C which shows the type and effect content of the effect pattern which is selected and determined at the time and when super reach C is executed.

(1) Sound type and output content of the second embodiment As shown in FIG. 25 (a), in the second embodiment, the result of the hit / fail judgment, that is, whether the result is a big hit or a loss when the simulated effect is executed. According to the reach type scheduled to be executed, the effect patterns distributed at a predetermined distribution rate are selected and executed with reference to various effect pattern tables described later. As described above, in this effect pattern, as the contents of the effect pattern in advance, the display mode of the pseudo effect displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (for example, the shape and size of the displayed characters and characters, and (Aspects related to color, etc.), whether or not the form of the effect movable accessory (shield accessory 101 in this embodiment) can be changed, the form change type, and the form change sound type are included. The form-changing sound type and the like of this embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25A, the sound types output prior to the final determination (determination) of the type of morphological change of the shield accessory 101 are sounds 1 to 5. It is set with 5 kinds of sounds. Specifically, the sound contents to be output are "Piron" for sound 1, "Dawn" for sound 2, "Chichichi" for sound 3, "Gogogo" for sound 4, and "Shakin" for sound 5. Further, when the sound 1 is the first form change sound, the sound 2 is the second form change sound, and when the sound 3 is the first form change sound, the sound 4 is the second form change sound, and the sound 1 or the sound. When 3 is the first form change sound, the sound 5 is the second form change sound.

When the sounds 1 to 4 are output, the types of the form change of the shield accessory 101 are the case where the form changes to the intermediate form and the case where the form changes to the final form, as set in each effect pattern table described later. It is set in any case where the form changes, but when the sound 5 is output, the form is always changed to the final form.

(2) Regarding the hit-time effect pattern selection table A of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), the super reach A selects internally, that is, with respect to the execution of the variable display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit. If so, the effect patterns A-1 to 5, the effect patterns B-1 to 5, the effect patterns C-1 to 5, and the effect patterns D-1 to D-1 to 5 are selected by the jackpot as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is done. Further, in each effect pattern, the form change type of the shield accessory 101 and the form change sound type are set in advance.

For example, the effect pattern A-1 will be described. When the effect pattern A-1 is selected, the pseudo effect is started, and the sound 1 (“pyrone”) is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed. Along with the output, the shield accessory 101 starts the morphological change to the intermediate form by S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14). The effect pattern A-1 is internally a big hit and is distributed by lottery at 3% when Super Reach A is selected.

In the "hit-time effect pattern selection table A", which is referred to when a big hit is made internally, each effect pattern in which the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the intermediate form and each effect pattern in which the form changes to the final form The total of each of the distribution rates is set to 68% when the form changes to the intermediate form, while it is 68% when the form changes to the final form. That is, in the hit-time effect pattern selection table A, the probability of determining that the shield accessory 101 changes its form only from the initial form to the intermediate form when it is determined to be a big hit in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach A is performed. (3% of production pattern A-1, 5% of production pattern A-2, 3% of production pattern A-3, 5% of production pattern A-4, 3% of production pattern B-1, production pattern B- Higher probability (4% of production pattern A-5, production pattern B-5) than 5% of 2, 3% of production pattern B-3, 5% of production pattern B-4, 32%) 4%, production pattern C-1 5%, production pattern C-2 7%, production pattern C-3 5%, production pattern C-4 7%, production pattern C-5 6%, production It is the total of 5% of the pattern D-1, 7% of the effect pattern D-2, 5% of the effect pattern D-3, 7% of the effect pattern D-4, and 6% of the effect pattern D-5, 68. %) Is set to change the form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table A", when the shield accessory 101 eventually changes its shape to the final form, the shape change caused by the output of the sound 2 (second form change sound) at the start of the shape change. In this case, the total distribution rate is 14% (7% for the effect pattern C-2 and 7% for the effect pattern D-2), whereas it is caused by the output of sound 1 (first form change sound). The total distribution rate in the case of morphological change is 10% (5% of effect pattern C-1 and 5% of effect pattern D-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter. There is.

Further, in the "hit-time effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 1 (first form changing sound) is output is the ratio A. Calculate as. When sound 1 (first form changing sound) is output, 3% of the effect pattern A-1, 3% of the effect pattern B-1, 5% of the effect pattern C-1, and 5 of the effect pattern D-1. The total of% is 16%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 10%, and the ratio A is 10/16.
Similarly, in the "hit effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 2 (second form change sound) is output is the ratio. Calculated as B. When sound 2 (second form change sound) is output, 5% of the effect pattern A-2, 5% of the effect pattern B-2, 7% of the effect pattern C-2, and 7 of the effect pattern D-2. The total of% is 24%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 14%, and the ratio B is 14/24.
Therefore, the ratio A (10/16 = 60/96) is set to have a higher distribution rate than the ratio B (14/24 = 56/96). That is, in the setting of the "hit effect pattern selection table A", when the sound 1 (first form changing sound) is output, the probability is higher than when the sound 2 (second form changing sound) is output. The shield accessory 101 is set so as to change its form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

As for the relationship between the settings of the sound 2 and the sound 1, the same can be said for the relationship between the settings of the sound 4 and the sound 3, as is clear from the illustrated distribution rate setting state. Furthermore, the same applies to the relationship between the setting of the sound 5 and the sound 1 or the sound 3. That is, the relationship that the sound 1 is the first form change sound and the sound 2 is the second form change sound is the relationship that the sound 4 is the second form change sound when the sound 3 is the first form change sound. It is the same as the relationship that the sound 1 or the sound 3 is the first form changing sound and the sound 5 is the second form changing sound, and this embodiment has a plurality of types of the first form changing sound and the second form. It has a changing sound. This point is the same in other effect pattern selection tables described later.

(3) Regarding the loss-time effect pattern selection table A of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, super reach A is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internally, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost. In this case, when the effect patterns a-1 to 5, the effect patterns b-1 to 5, the effect patterns c-1 to 5 and the effect patterns d-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach A is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the form change type of the shield accessory 101 and the form change sound type are set in advance.

For example, the effect pattern a-1 will be described. When the effect pattern a-1 is selected, the pseudo effect is started, and the sound 1 (“pyrone”) is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed. Along with the output, the shield accessory 101 starts the morphological change to the intermediate form by S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14). The effect pattern a-1 is internally lost and is sorted by lottery at 7% when Super Reach A is selected.

In the "loss-time effect pattern selection table A", which is referred to when the shield character is lost internally, each effect pattern in which the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the intermediate form and each effect pattern in which the form changes to the final form The total of the distribution rates is set to 36% when the form changes to the intermediate form, whereas it is set to 36% when the form changes to the final form. That is, in the loss-time effect pattern selection table A, contrary to the above-mentioned hit-time effect pattern selection table A, when it is determined to be a loss in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach A is performed, the shield accessory 101 is used. Probability of determining that the form is changed only from the initial form to the intermediate form (7% of the effect pattern a-1, 9% of the effect pattern a-2, 7% of the effect pattern a-3, 9% of the effect pattern a-4). , 7% of production pattern b-1, 9% of production pattern b-2, 7% of production pattern b-3, 9% of production pattern b-4, 64%) 8% of production pattern a-5, 8% of production pattern b-5, 1% of production pattern c-1, 3% of production pattern c-2, 1% of production pattern c-3, production pattern c-4 3%, production pattern c-5 2%, production pattern d-1 1%, production pattern d-2 3%, production pattern d-3 1%, production pattern d-4 3%, production The total of 2% of the pattern d-5, 36%), is set so as to change the form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

In the "loss production pattern selection table A", when the shield accessory 101 eventually changes its shape to the final form, the shape change caused by the output of the sound 2 (second form change sound) at the start of the shape change. In this case, the total distribution rate is 6% (3% for the effect pattern c-2 and 3% for the effect pattern d-2), whereas it is caused by the output of sound 1 (first form change sound). The total distribution rate in the case of a morphological change is 2% (1% of the effect pattern c-1 and 1% of the effect pattern d-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter. There is.

Further, in the "loss production pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 1 (first form change sound) is output is the ratio C. Calculate as. When sound 1 (first form change sound) is output, 7% of the effect pattern a-1, 7% of the effect pattern b-1, 1% of the effect pattern c-1, and 1 of the effect pattern d-1. The total of% is 16%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 2%, and the ratio C is 2/16.
Similarly, in the "loss production pattern selection table A", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 2 (second form change sound) is output is the ratio. Calculated as D. When sound 2 (second form change sound) is output, 9% of the effect pattern a-2, 9% of the effect pattern b-2, 3% of the effect pattern c-2, and 3 of the effect pattern d-2. The total of% is 24%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 6%, and the ratio D is 6/24.
Therefore, the ratio C (2/16 = 12/96) is set to have a lower distribution rate than the ratio D (6/24 = 24/96).
However, when the above-mentioned "hit effect pattern selection table A" is also targeted, that is, when the ratio A and the ratio B are also included, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio A and the ratio C is (60 + 12) / 96 = 72. On the other hand, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio B and the ratio D is (56 + 24) / 96 = 80/96. Therefore, regardless of the result of the hit / fail determination, when the super reach A is executed and the sound 2 (second form change sound) is output, the sound 1 (first form change sound) is output. With a higher probability than in the case, the shield accessory 101 is set to change its form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

(4) Regarding the hit-time effect pattern selection table B of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27, super reach B is selected for the execution of the variation display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit internally. In this case, when the effect patterns E-1 to 5, the effect patterns F-1 to 5, the effect patterns G-1 to 5 and the effect patterns H-1 to 5 are big hits and Super Reach B is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the form change type of the shield accessory 101 and the form change sound type are set in advance.

In the "hit-time effect pattern selection table B", which is referred to when a big hit is made internally, each effect pattern in which the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the intermediate form and each effect pattern in which the form changes to the final form The total of each of the distribution rates is set to 68% when the form changes to the intermediate form, while it is 68% when the form changes to the final form. That is, in the hit-time effect pattern selection table B, the probability of determining that the shield accessory 101 changes its form only from the initial form to the intermediate form when it is determined to be a big hit in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach B is performed. (2% of production pattern E-1, 6% of production pattern E-2, 2% of production pattern E-3, 6% of production pattern E-4, 2% of production pattern F-1, production pattern F- The probability is higher than the total of 6% of 2, 2% of the effect pattern F-3, and 6% of the effect pattern F-4, 32% (4% of the effect pattern E-5, effect pattern F-5). 4%, production pattern G-1 4%, production pattern G-2 8%, production pattern G-3 4%, production pattern G-4 8%, production pattern G-5 6%, production It is the total of 4% of the pattern H-1, 8% of the effect pattern H-2, 4% of the effect pattern H-3, 8% of the effect pattern H-4, and 6% of the effect pattern H-5, 68. %) Is set to change the form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table B", when the shield accessory 101 eventually changes its shape to the final form, the shape change caused by the output of the sound 2 (second form change sound) at the start of the shape change. In this case, the total distribution rate is 16% (8% for the effect pattern G-2 and 8% for the effect pattern H-2), whereas it is caused by the output of sound 1 (first form change sound). The total distribution rate in the case of a morphological change is 8% (4% for the effect pattern G-1 and 4% for the effect pattern H-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter. There is.

Further, in the "hit-time effect pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 1 (first form changing sound) is output is the ratio E. Calculate as. When sound 1 (first form change sound) is output, 2% of the effect pattern E-1, 2% of the effect pattern F-1, 4% of the effect pattern G-1, and 4 of the effect pattern H-1. The total of% is 12%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 8%, and the ratio E is 8/12.
Similarly, in the "hit-time effect pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 2 (second form change sound) is output is the ratio. Calculated as F. When sound 2 (second form change sound) is output, 6% of the effect pattern E-2, 6% of the effect pattern F-2, 8% of the effect pattern G-2, and 8 of the effect pattern H-2. The total of% is 28%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 16%, and the ratio F is 16/28.
Therefore, the ratio E (8/12 = 56/84) is set to have a higher distribution rate than the ratio F (16/28 = 48/84). That is, in the setting of the "hit effect pattern selection table B", when the sound 1 (first form change sound) is output, the probability is higher than when the sound 2 (second form change sound) is output. The shield accessory 101 is set so as to change its form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

(5) Regarding the effect pattern selection table B at the time of loss in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28, super reach B is selected with respect to the execution of the variation display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost internally. In this case, when the effect patterns e-1 to 5, the effect patterns f-1 to 5, the effect patterns g-1 to 5, and the effect patterns h-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach B is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the form change type of the shield accessory 101 and the form change sound type are set in advance.

In the "loss-time effect pattern selection table B", which is referred to when the shield character is lost internally, each effect pattern in which the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the intermediate form and each effect pattern in which the form changes to the final form The total of the distribution rates is set to 44% when the form changes to the intermediate form, whereas it is set to 44% when the form changes to the final form. That is, in the loss-time effect pattern selection table B, contrary to the hit-time effect pattern selection table B described above, when it is determined to be a loss in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach B is performed, the shield accessory 101 is used. Probability of determining that the form is changed only from the initial form to the intermediate form (5% of the effect pattern e-1, 9% of the effect pattern e-2, 5% of the effect pattern e-3, 9% of the effect pattern e-4). , 5% of the effect pattern f-1, 9% of the effect pattern f-2, 5% of the effect pattern f-3, 9% of the effect pattern f-4, 56%) 7% of production pattern e-5, 7% of production pattern f-5, 1% of production pattern g-1, 5% of production pattern g-2, 1% of production pattern g-3, production pattern g-4 5%, production pattern g-5 3%, production pattern h-1 1%, production pattern h-2 5%, production pattern h-3 1%, production pattern h-4 5%, production The total of 3% of the pattern h-5, 44%), is set so as to change the form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

In the "loss production pattern selection table B", when the shield accessory 101 eventually changes its shape to the final form, the shape change caused by the output of the sound 2 (second form change sound) at the start of the shape change. The total distribution rate in the case of is 10% (5% of the effect pattern g-2, 5% of the effect pattern h-2), whereas it is caused by the output of sound 1 (first form change sound). The total distribution rate in the case of a morphological change is 2% (1% of the effect pattern g-1 and 1% of the effect pattern h-1), and in the table, the former is set higher than the latter. There is.

Further, in the "loss production pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 1 (first form change sound) is output is the ratio G. Calculate as. When sound 1 (first form changing sound) is output, 5% of the effect pattern e-1, 5% of the effect pattern f-1, 1% of the effect pattern g-1, and 1 of the effect pattern h-1. The total of% is 12%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 2%, and the ratio G is 2/12.
Similarly, in the "loss production pattern selection table B", the ratio of the case where the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form among all the cases where the sound 2 (second form change sound) is output is the ratio. Calculated as H. When sound 2 (second form change sound) is output, 9% of the effect pattern e-2, 9% of the effect pattern f-2, 5% of the effect pattern g-2, and 5 of the effect pattern h-2. The total of% is 28%. Among them, when the shield accessory 101 changes its form to the final form, it is the above 10%, and the ratio H is 10/28.
Therefore, the ratio G (2/12 = 14/84) is set to have a lower distribution rate than the ratio H (10/28 = 30/84).
However, when the above-mentioned "hit effect pattern selection table B" is also targeted, that is, when the ratio E and the ratio F are also included, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio E and the ratio G is (56 + 14) / 84 = 70. On the other hand, the sum of the distribution rates of the ratio F and the ratio H is (48 + 30) / 84 = 78/84. Therefore, regardless of the result of the hit / fail judgment, when the super reach B is executed and the sound 2 (second form change sound) is output, the sound 1 (first form change sound) is output. With a higher probability than in the case, the shield accessory 101 is set to change its form from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form.

(6) Regarding the hit effect pattern selection table C and the loss effect pattern selection table C of the second embodiment FIG. 29 (a) shows the case where the big hit is internally and the case where the super reach C is selected. It is a "hit time effect pattern selection table C" referred to in. That is, when Super Reach C is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internal, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit, the effect patterns I-1 to 5 are big hits and Super Reach C is as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is selected. However, when the "hit time effect pattern selection table C" is referred to, the form change of the shield accessory 101 and the output of the form change sound are not performed regardless of the effect pattern. Is set to.
Further, FIG. 29B is a “missing effect pattern selection table C” referred to in the case of internal loss and when super reach C is selected. That is, when Super Reach C is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internal, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost, the effect patterns i-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach C is lost as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is selected. However, when the "missing effect pattern selection table C" is referred to, the shape of the shield accessory 101 changes regardless of the effect pattern, as in the "hit effect pattern selection table C". Execution and output of the morphological change sound are set so as not to be performed.

In the second embodiment, for the shield accessory left movable piece and the shield accessory right movable piece that cause the shape change of the shield accessory 101, the shield accessory left movable piece motor 101a and the shield accessory 101, respectively, A right movable piece motor 101b was provided. However, instead of providing a drive source unique to each movable piece, both movable pieces may be driven from a single drive source by a drive force transmitting means such as a link. As a result, when some abnormality occurs, the left and right pair are not driven, so that one of the movable pieces is not driven and only the other is driven.

In the second embodiment, when a pseudo-effect with a high expectation of a big hit, that is, Super Reach A or B is selected by the setting of the various effect pattern selection tables, if a big hit is internally produced, the effect is produced. The shape of the movable accessory is easily changed to the final form, and if it is lost, the form changes only to the intermediate form and it is difficult to change the form to the final form. It is possible to infer the degree of expectation that will be a big hit according to the type, and further, it is possible to infer the morphological change type according to the morphological change sound type that is output before the morphological change type is determined. As a result, the player can obtain the fun of predicting the form change type and the jackpot expectation degree by the form change sound output prior to the form change of the effect movable accessory.

[Third Example]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment has a configuration partially similar to that of the first embodiment described above, and drawings and explanations relating to the same configuration shall be omitted by referring to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 31, FIG. 32, and FIGS. 33 to 39 of the third embodiment are shown with respect to FIGS. 2, 4, and 17 to 22 of the first embodiment, and mainly this difference is shown. The points will be described. However, with respect to FIGS. 12 to 15, the description according to the content peculiar to the third embodiment will be appropriately described while referring to the drawings of the first embodiment as they are.

FIG. 31 is a front view of the game board 1 of the pachinko machine 50 of the third embodiment. Since the various devices and the like provided on the game board 1 are substantially the same as those in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted in particular. Further, the title accessory 100 described to be provided by the game board 1 in the first embodiment is not provided in the present embodiment. That is, although the same configuration is shown in the figure, this will be described as a configuration that does not function as an effect movable accessory. Under such a premise, the configuration of this embodiment will be described below.

The game board 1 of this embodiment is provided with a first sword accessory 41 and a second sword accessory 42 as displaceable effect movable accessories. Since the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 are built in the left side portion of the center case 5 in the normal state, that is, when they are located at the initial positions where they are not driven, for convenience in FIG. 31 The approximate arrangement position is shown by the broken line. As shown in FIG. 39, which will be described later, the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 of the present embodiment are formed in a shape in the shape of a sword, and the portions corresponding to the respective "handles" ( It is rotatably pivoted by a rotating shaft (not shown) provided on the left side of the center case 5). The specific operation will be described in detail later, and the configuration of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42, which are described in more detail below, will be referred to in FIGS. 31, 32, 38 and 39. I will explain.

As described above, the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 of this embodiment are both of substantially the same size and have a shape in the shape of a sword, and correspond to their respective "handles". It is rotatably pivoted by a rotating shaft (not shown) provided on a portion (referred to as a handle). FIG. 39 shows the states of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 after the displacement. The first sword accessory 41 has a posture in which the tip of the sword accessory 41 faces diagonally upward to the right, and the second sword accessory 42 has a posture in which the tip of the sword accessory 42 faces diagonally downward to the right. The left side portion of the center case 5 has a built-in handle portion having a rotation shaft of the first sword accessory 41 at the lower portion thereof, and a handle portion having a rotation shaft of the second sword accessory 42 above the handle portion. Built-in. The first sword accessory 41 after the displacement is located slightly closer to the front (player side) of the second sword accessory 42, and both are in an intersecting posture as shown in the figure. Such an embodiment in which the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 intersect is the displacement result when the number of displacement accessories in the third embodiment is two, and the number of displacements is one. In some cases, as shown in FIG. 38, only the first sword accessory 41 is displaced, and the second sword accessory 42 is not displaced. The operation of such an embodiment will be described in detail later. Note that FIG. 39 shows a state in which both the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 have been displaced, but the state before the displacement is the center case 5 as shown in FIG. 31. It is stored inside the left side of the. Specifically, the first sword accessory 41 is stored in a state of standing upright from the lower left side of the center case 5 with the tip facing directly upward (standing state), and the second sword accessory 42 has the tip of the tip. It is stored in a state of hanging from the upper left side of the center case 5 (hanging state) toward the lower side. With these stored states as the initial positions before displacement, when individual displacements are performed, they are displaced to their respective final positions shown in FIG. 39.

Further, FIG. 32 will also be referred to and described. On a rotation shaft (not shown) provided on the handle of the first sword accessory 41, a first sword accessory motor 41a as a drive source for rotationally driving and displacementing the first sword accessory 41 mounts the rotation axis. It is configured to be connected so that it can be driven to rotate. Similarly, on the rotation shaft (not shown) provided on the handle of the second sword accessory 42, a second sword accessory motor 42a as a drive source for rotationally driving and displacementing the second sword accessory 42 is provided. The rotating shafts are connected so as to be rotatable and driveable. The first sword accessory motor 41a and the second sword accessory motor 42a can adopt a so-called stepping motor to rotate the rotation axis by an arbitrary rotation angle, whereby the first sword accessory 41 or the second sword accessory motor 41 or The second sword accessory 42 can be displaced in any displacement mode.

Further, the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 are displaced by the drive of the first sword accessory motor 41a and the second sword accessory motor 42a, and are displaced from the above-mentioned initial positions to their final positions. To do. Then, a first sword accessory sensor 41b and a second sword accessory sensor 42b are provided as detection means for detecting whether or not the position has returned to the initial position again after the displacement. The first sword accessory sensor 41b has the first sword accessory 41, and the second sword accessory sensor 42b has the second sword accessory 42 built in the left side of the center case 5 in FIG. Alternatively, by detecting that the position is in the hanging state, it is used as an index for confirming that the position has returned to the initial position.

The first sword accessory motor 41a and the second sword accessory motor 42a are individually driven and controlled by the sub-integrated control device 83. As a result, when there is only one "displacement accessory number type" to be described later, the sub-integrated control device 83 drives only the first sword accessory motor 41a to displace only the first sword accessory 41. .. On the other hand, when there are two "displacement accessory number types", the sub-integrated control device 83 drives both the first sword accessory motor 41a and the second sword accessory motor 42a to drive the first sword accessory motor 42a. Displace 41 and the second sword accessory 42. In the third embodiment, when the sub-integrated control device 83 has two "displacement accessory number types", the sub-integrated control device 83 first drives the first sword accessory motor 41a to position only the first sword accessory 41 in the final position. After the change is completed, the second sword accessory motor 42a is driven to displace the second sword accessory 42 to the final position. Therefore, when the "displacement accessory number type" is two, the state when the "displacement accessory number type" is one, that is, the state of being displaced to the final position of the first sword accessory 41, Control is performed to displace the second sword accessory 42 to the final position. At this time, the first sword accessory 41 waits at the final position until the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position, and a predetermined time elapses after the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position. Later, the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 each perform a return displacement to the initial position. The specific actions of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 will be described in detail later.

[Movable accessory test process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the movable accessory test process in the third embodiment will be described. The movable accessory test process is transmitted based on the determination that 1 is set in the movable accessory test flag in each output process (S60) by the main control device 80 described above. When the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the instruction command related to the test drive, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the test drive of the effect movable accessory (in this embodiment, the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42). It is a process.

In S580, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the determination process of whether or not the instruction command related to the test drive of the effect movable accessory is received from the main control device 80, and if it is an affirmative determination (S580: yes), The process is shifted to S585, and if a negative determination is made (S580: no), this process is terminated.

In S585, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the test drive process of the effect movable accessory, and ends this process. By executing S585 of the third embodiment, the first sword accessory 41 is displaced from the initial position to the final position, and subsequently, the second sword accessory 42 is displaced from the initial position to the final position. Drive.

In the movable accessory test process of this embodiment, as described above, the test drive is executed only when the instruction command related to the test drive transmitted only when the power is turned on is received.

Further, when the test drive process is executed in S585, even if a predetermined drive process is performed on the effect movable accessory, the sub-integrated control device 83 is different from the time when the effect drive is executed, which will be described later. Is configured not to perform the process of outputting the displacement sound corresponding to the predetermined drive from the speaker 66.

[Production pattern setting process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the effect pattern setting process in the third embodiment will be described. In the effect pattern setting process of this embodiment, when a variation start command for starting the variation display of the pseudo symbol corresponding to the special symbol is received from the main control device 80 described above, the type of effect pattern related to the so-called pseudo effect Is set, and preparations are made prior to driving such as confirmation of the position of the effect movable accessory (position of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42) to be driven when the pseudo effect is performed, and the pseudo effect is performed. This is a process for starting an effect, a drive (displacement) of a movable accessory, and an audio (displacement sound) output corresponding to the drive.

First, in S700, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the fluctuation start command has been received from the main control device 80, and if it is affirmative (S700: yes), the process shifts to S705 and is denied. If it is a determination (S700: no), this process ends. The fluctuation start command is a display control command output by the main control device 80 toward the sub-integrated control device 83 in S330 of the above-mentioned hit / fail determination process (FIG. 9), and upon receiving the command, the effect symbol is displayed. The device 6 starts the variable display of the pseudo symbol (effect symbol) corresponding to the special symbol, and in addition, displays a character or the like on the effect symbol display device 6 to perform a pseudo effect that visually agitates the result of the pass / fail judgment. ..

In S705, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes a process of determining the type of effect pattern to be executed, and shifts the process to S710. The sub-integrated control device 83 includes a plurality of types of effect patterns, and one of the effect patterns is selected and determined in S705. The sub-integrated control device 83 of the present embodiment includes various selection tables shown in FIGS. 33 to 37, which will be described later, as an effect pattern selection table composed of a plurality of types of effect patterns, and conditions (variation of special symbols). The effect pattern is determined by referring to one of the selection tables according to the type of time, the result of the hit / fail judgment, and the type of super reach to be executed. The content of the effect pattern of the present embodiment selected at this time is a display mode displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (for example, an aspect relating to the shape, size, color, etc. of the displayed character or character). , Whether or not the movable accessory (the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 in this embodiment) can be displaced, the number of displacement accessories, and the displacement sound type are included. Then, in S705, the content of the effect pattern is set as the content of the effect to be executed later. Later, it will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 33 to 37.

In S710, in the sub-integrated control device 83, the effect movable accessory (first sword accessory 41 and second sword accessory 42) is placed in a predetermined initial position (not shown in FIG. 31, but in the above-mentioned standing state or hanging state). The process of confirming whether or not the device is located at) is executed, and the process is transferred to S715.

In S715, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines the effect movable accessory (first sword accessory 41 and second sword accessory 42) when it is confirmed that the position is not the predetermined initial position based on the confirmation result of S710. The initial position of the above, that is, the process of returning to the origin is performed, the process is transferred to S720, and when the initial position is a predetermined position, the process is transferred to S720 as it is.
In the process of returning to the origin, the first sword accessory motor 41a and / or the second sword accessory motor 42a is driven to move back toward the origin, and the first sword accessory sensor 41b and / or the second sword If normal detection cannot be obtained by the accessory sensor 42b, the first sword accessory motor 41a and / or the second sword accessory motor 42a is repeatedly driven up to a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). Normal detection by the first sword accessory sensor 41b and / or the second sword accessory sensor 42b despite the drive of the first sword accessory motor 41a and / or the second sword accessory motor 42a over a predetermined number of times. If the above is not obtained, it is assumed that the first sword accessory 41 and / or the second sword accessory 42 has an abnormality, and for example, a process of setting 1 in the "character abnormality flag" is performed.

In S720, the sub-integrated control device 83 confirms whether or not 1 is set in the "characteristic abnormality flag", that is, whether or not there is an abnormality in the accessory, and if it is affirmative (S720: Yes), the process is transferred to S730, and if it is a negative determination (S720: no), the process is transferred to S725.

In this embodiment, the processing of S710 and S715 is based on the reception of the variation start command in S700, that is, regardless of which variation pattern is selected and determined, the variation start regardless of the type of variation pattern. It is executed every time a command is received.

Further, in this embodiment, the processes of S710 and S715 are executed at each start of the variation display based on the reception of the variation start command in S700. However, it is not limited to the start of the fluctuation, and may be executed every time the fluctuation display ends, for example. As a result, each time the variation display ends, whether or not the displaced movable accessory is in the initial position, or if there is no displacement display, the origin return process is executed. Therefore, preparations can be made with a margin before the start of the next variation display. it can. In addition, when an abnormal state occurs, it is possible to notify the abnormal state and execute a coping process for the abnormal state with a margin before the next fluctuation display is started.

In S725, the sub-integrated control device 83 has the number of displacement accessories of the effect movable accessories (first sword accessory 41 and second sword accessory 42) within the contents of the effect pattern already set in S705 described above. The setting process for setting again as the execution target of the effect is performed by limiting only the content other than the type, that is, the content of the pseudo effect and the content of the displacement sound, and the process is transferred to S730.

In S730, the sub-integrated control device 83 limits the content of the effect pattern determined in S705 if there is no accessory abnormality, and limits the effect (sound or light emission) other than the accessory drive in S725 if there is an accessory abnormality. With the contents, the process of starting the production is executed, and the present process is terminated. In S730, the production content to be executed differs depending on the presence or absence of the character abnormality. Therefore, specifically, even if the production movable character (first sword character 41 and / or second sword character 42) is used. Is configured to perform an effect by an effect means other than the accessory drive even when a state occurs in which the sword does not return to the initial position.

When S730 is executed, the effect is started based on the effect content of the effect pattern set or reset in S705 and S725.
When based on the setting contents of S705, a simulated effect is started, and in this embodiment, a predetermined displacement sound is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect, and the effect movable combination is output at the same timing. It is configured to start the displacement of the object (first sword accessory 41).
When based on the setting contents of S725, the simulated effect is started, and in this embodiment, only a predetermined displacement sound is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect. ing.
In addition, in such an effect, a light emitting effect by various light emitting members provided in the pachinko machine 50 may also be executed.

As described above, in the "effect pattern setting process" by the sub-integrated control device 83 of the present embodiment, when the super reach A or the super reach B is executed by referring to the various effect pattern selection tables described later in S705. , Determining the possibility of displacement of the effect movable accessory (only the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 or the first sword accessory 41 in this embodiment), the number of displacement accessories, and the displacement sound type. To do. That is, either the first sword accessory 41 is displaced from the initial position to the final position and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced from the initial position to the final position, or the first sword accessory 41 is displaced from the initial position to the final position. It is determined whether the second sword accessory 42 is not displaced, and which of the sounds 1 and 5 is output as the displacement sound related to the displacement at that time.

Further, in S730 of the "effect pattern setting process" by the sub-integrated control device 83 of this embodiment, the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 or the first sword accessory 42 are based on the displacement sound type determined in S705. The displacement sound is output from the speaker 66 as an effect sound related to the displacement of only the sword accessory 41.

[Movable accessory drive start processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the movable accessory drive start processing in the third embodiment will be described. The movable accessory drive start process of this embodiment is a process executed based on the execution of S730 of the effect pattern setting process (FIG. 13) described above. However, in that case, it is a process executed when no accessory abnormality is found based on the setting contents of S705.

First, in S600, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the variation effect executed this time is a predetermined reach, that is, super reach A or super reach B in this embodiment, and whether it is an affirmative determination. If (S600: yes), the process is shifted to S605, and if a negative determination is made (S600: no), this process is terminated.

In S605, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not it is the drive (displacement) start timing of the effect movable accessory (first sword accessory 41), and if it is affirmative (S605: yes), The process is shifted to S610, and if a negative determination is made (S605: no), this process is terminated. As described above, in the present embodiment, the drive start timing is configured to arrive after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed from the start of the simulated effect. In addition, in order to time the arrival of the timing, a special counter is provided as a reference for determining that the timing has arrived, based on the fact that the counter value becomes 0 after counting down from the start of the simulated effect. Is also good. The drive start timing in this embodiment is the same regardless of whether Super Reach A or Super Reach B is executed, but the drive start timing is not limited to this, and the drive start timing is not limited to this. The timing may be different. In this case, it is preferable to separately provide the super reach A and the super reach B as special counters for timing the drive start timing. As a result, individual drive start timings can be reliably timed. Further, it is desirable that the timing of the individual special counters is started from the start of the pseudo-effect, but the timing is not limited to this, and the timing may be started at different timings.

In S610, the sub-integrated control device 83 drives the production movable accessory (only the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42, or the first sword accessory 41) according to the content of the production pattern this time. Start and end this process. Specifically, when this process is started, only the second sword accessory motor 42a or the first sword accessory motor 41a is driven following the first sword accessory motor 41a, and according to the content of the effect pattern. Following the first sword accessory 41, only the second sword accessory 42 or the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position, and after the displacement, the state waits until the "predetermined driving time" ends.

[Movable accessory drive end processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the movable accessory drive end process in the third embodiment will be described. The movable accessory drive end process of this embodiment is a process for terminating the drive process started by executing S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14) described above.

First, in S650, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the end timing of the drive process has arrived, that is, whether or not the "predetermined drive time" has ended, and if it is an affirmative determination ( S650: yes), the process is shifted to S655, and if a negative determination is made (S650: no), this process is terminated.

In S655, the sub-integrated control device 83 ends the drive process of the effect movable accessory (only the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42, or the first sword accessory 41), and ends this process. .. Specifically, only the first sword accessory motor 41a and the second sword accessory motor 42a, or the first sword accessory motor 41a are driven to produce a movable accessory (first sword accessory 41 and second sword). The process of returning the accessory 42 or the first sword accessory 41) to the initial position is executed, and this process is completed.

[Action of the production movable accessory of the third embodiment]
The operation of the effect movable accessory (first sword accessory 41 and second sword accessory 42) of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. That is, the effect movable accessory (first sword accessory 41 and second sword accessory 42) of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 31 by the control process of the movable accessory drive start process and the movable accessory drive end process described above. From the initial position (origin) indicated by the broken line, the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position, and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position, or only the first sword accessory 41 is displaced. Displace to the final position. In other words, either the two accessories are finally displaced, or only one accessory is displaced. That is, only the first sword accessory 41, or both the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 are final according to the displacement accessory number type shown in the content of the selected and determined effect pattern. It is displaced to the position, and when the end time of the predetermined drive time is reached, the return displacement to the initial position is performed.

When there is only one displacement accessory type, only the first sword accessory 41 is rotationally displaced clockwise around the rotation axis from the state shown in FIG. 31 and displaced to the final position shown in FIG. 38. Stop. When the number of displacement accessories is one, the displacement pattern is planned up to the state, and the second sword accessory 42 is not displaced.

When the number of displacement accessories is two, after the displacement of the first sword accessory 41 is completed, the second sword accessory 42 is subsequently moved counterclockwise with respect to the rotation axis from the state shown in FIG. Rotates and displaces to the final position shown in FIG. 39 and stops. When the number of displacement accessories is two, the displacement pattern is planned up to the state.

In this way, in the process of displacement by the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 when the number of displacement accessories is two, the first sword when the number of displacement accessories is one. It is configured to develop through the displacement of only the accessory 41. Therefore, in other words, when the sub-integrated control device 83 refers to the content of the effect pattern and has information that "two accessories are displaced" as the number of displacement accessories, the first is the first. The first sword accessory 41 is displaced from the initial position to the final position, and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced from the initial position to the final position. In this case, when the first sword accessory 41 is displaced from the initial position to the final position, the displacement start of the second sword accessory 42 may be delayed once or immediately started without delay. It does not matter which one. Both of them may be appropriately selected, for example, by lottery so that a case of delay or a case of no delay may occur. By doing so, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by inciting whether or not the displacement of the second sword accessory 42 is performed or is performed while the displacement of this time is temporarily delayed. it can.

Further, once the delay is made, a plurality of types of delay times, long and short, may be provided, and which one to select may be determined by lottery. In addition, whether or not to delay once, and the length of the delay time when the delay is once delayed, may be set according to the expected degree of big hit according to the result of the winning or losing lottery. As a result, the player infers the degree of expectation for the big hit depending on whether or not the delay is made once, and the length of the delay time when the delay is made, so that the interest is improved.

The first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42, which are the effect movable accessories of the present embodiment, show an example of the same configuration, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of sword accessories having completely different displacement modes are shown. It may be a character of. That is, one may be a linear displacement, while the other may be a rotational displacement or a swing displacement. With respect to the displacement of a plurality of accessories, both a configuration in which one displacement is completed and then the other displacement is performed and a configuration in which only one displacement is completed are provided, and when one displacement is completed, the displacement is terminated as it is. As long as it is possible to give the player the expectation of whether or not it will progress, the configuration and action of the effect movable accessory can be appropriately selected.

[About various production patterns of the third embodiment]
With reference to FIGS. 33 to 37, various effect patterns in the above-described third embodiment will be described. FIG. 33 (a) is a chart showing the sound types and output contents to be output corresponding to the displacement of the effect movable accessory, and FIG. 33 (b) is a diagram when a big hit and Super Reach A is executed. It is a hit effect pattern selection table A which shows the type of the effect pattern to be selected and determined, and the effect content. FIG. 34 is a loss-time effect pattern selection table A showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of loss and when Super Reach A is executed. FIG. 35 is a hit-time effect pattern selection table B showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of a big hit and when the super reach B is executed. FIG. 36 is a loss-time effect pattern selection table B showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern to be selected and determined at the time of loss and when the super reach B is executed. FIG. 37 (a) is a hit-time effect pattern selection table C showing the type and effect content of the effect pattern selected and determined at the time of a big hit and when Super Reach C is executed, and FIG. 37 (b) is a loss. It is a loss-time effect pattern selection table C which shows the type and effect content of the effect pattern which is selected and determined at the time and when super reach C is executed.

(1) Sound type and output content of the third embodiment As shown in FIG. 33 (a), in the third embodiment, the result of the hit / fail judgment, that is, whether the result is a big hit or a loss when the simulated effect is executed. According to the reach type scheduled to be executed, the effect patterns distributed at a predetermined distribution rate are selected and executed with reference to various effect pattern tables described later. In this effect pattern, as described above, as the content of the effect pattern in advance, the display mode of the pseudo effect displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (for example, the shape, size, and size of the displayed characters and characters, and the effect pattern). (Aspects related to color, etc.), whether or not the movable accessory (the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 in this embodiment) can be displaced, the number of displacement accessories, and the displacement sound type are included. The displacement sound type and the like of this embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, the sound types output prior to the final determination (determination) of the types of displacement accessories of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 are shown in FIG. 33 (a). As shown in the above, five kinds of sounds from sound 1 to sound 5 are set. Specifically, the sound contents to be output are "Piron" for sound 1, "Dawn" for sound 2, "Chichichi" for sound 3, "Gogogo" for sound 4, and "Shakin" for sound 5. Further, when the sound 1 is the first displacement sound, the sound 2 is the second displacement sound, and when the sound 3 is the first displacement sound, the sound 4 is the second displacement sound, and the sound 1 or the sound 3 is the first. When it is a displacement sound, the sound 5 becomes the second displacement sound.

When sounds 1 to 4 are output, the type of the number of displacement accessories of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 is 1 as set in each effect pattern table described later. It is set in both the case where only one is displaced and the case where two are displaced, but when the sound 5 is output, it is always set to be displaced by two.

(2) Regarding the hit-time effect pattern selection table A of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), the super reach A selects internally, that is, with respect to the execution of the variable display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit. If so, the effect patterns A-1 to 5, the effect patterns B-1 to 5, the effect patterns C-1 to 5, and the effect patterns D-1 to D-1 to 5 are selected by the jackpot as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is done. Further, in each effect pattern, the number type of the displacement accessory of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42, and the displacement sound type are set in advance.

For example, the effect pattern A-1 will be described. When the effect pattern A-1 is selected, the pseudo effect is started, and the sound 1 (“pyrone”) is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed. Since the number of displacement accessories is one in accordance with the output, the displacement of only the first sword accessory 41 is started by S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14). At this time, even if the displacement of the first sword accessory 41 is completed, the displacement of the second sword accessory 42 is not started. The effect pattern A-1 is internally a big hit and is distributed by lottery at 3% when Super Reach A is selected.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table A", which is referred to when a big hit is made internally, "when the number of displacement accessories is one", that is, only the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position. Each effect pattern and "when there are two displacement accessory types", that is, each effect pattern in which the first sword accessory 41 is first displaced to the final position and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position. The total of each of the distribution rates is 32% for "when the number of displacement accessories is one", while it is set to 68% for "when there are two displacement accessories". ing. That is, in the hit-time effect pattern selection table A, when it is determined as a big hit in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach A is performed, the second sword accessory 42 is not displaced to the final position and the first sword combination is performed. Probability of deciding that only object 41 should be displaced to the final position (3% of effect pattern A-1, 5% of effect pattern A-2, 3% of effect pattern A-3, 5% of effect pattern A-4, The probability is higher than the probability (32%, which is the total of 3% of the production pattern B-1, 5% of the production pattern B-2, 3% of the production pattern B-3, and 5% of the production pattern B-4). 4% of pattern A-5, 4% of production pattern B-5, 5% of production pattern C-1, 7% of production pattern C-2, 5% of production pattern C-3, production pattern C-4 7%, production pattern C-5 6%, production pattern D-1 5%, production pattern D-2 7%, production pattern D-3 5%, production pattern D-4 7%, production pattern 68%), which is the total of 6% of D-5, is set so that the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table A", "when the number of displacement accessories is two", the displacement caused by the output of sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of the displacement of the first sword accessory 41. In this case, the total distribution rate is 14% (7% for the effect pattern C-2 and 7% for the effect pattern D-2), whereas the displacement caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). In the case of, the total distribution rate is 10% (5% of the effect pattern C-1 and 5% of the effect pattern D-1), and the former is set higher than the latter in the table.

Further, in the "hit effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is defined as the ratio A among all the cases where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. calculate. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 3% of the effect pattern A-1, 3% of the effect pattern B-1, 5% of the effect pattern C-1, and 5% of the effect pattern D-1. The total is 16%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is two" is the above 10%, and the ratio A is 10/16.
Similarly, in the "hit effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is the ratio B among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output. Calculate as. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 5% of the effect pattern A-2, 5% of the effect pattern B-2, 7% of the effect pattern C-2, and 7% of the effect pattern D-2. The total is 24%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is two" is 14%, and the ratio B is 14/24.
Therefore, the ratio A (10/16 = 60/96) is set to have a higher distribution rate than the ratio B (14/24 = 56/96). That is, in the setting of the "hit effect pattern selection table A", when the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, the probability is higher than when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output. After the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position, the second sword accessory 42 is set to be displaced to the final position (starting the displacement toward the final position).

As for the relationship between the settings of the sound 2 and the sound 1, the same can be said for the relationship between the settings of the sound 4 and the sound 3, as is clear from the illustrated distribution rate setting state. Furthermore, the same applies to the relationship between the setting of the sound 5 and the sound 1 or the sound 3. That is, the relationship that the sound 1 is the first displacement sound and the sound 2 is the second displacement sound is the relationship that the sound 4 is the second displacement sound when the sound 3 is the first displacement sound and the sound 1 is the second displacement sound. Alternatively, the relationship is the same as the relationship in which the sound 3 is the first displacement sound and the sound 5 is the second displacement sound, and this embodiment includes a plurality of types of the first displacement sound and the second displacement sound. This point is the same in other effect pattern selection tables described later.

(3) Regarding the loss-time effect pattern selection table A of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, super reach A is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internally, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost. In this case, when the effect patterns a-1 to 5, the effect patterns b-1 to 5, the effect patterns c-1 to 5 and the effect patterns d-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach A is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the number type of the displacement accessory of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42, and the displacement sound type are set in advance.

For example, the effect pattern a-1 will be described. When the effect pattern a-1 is selected, the pseudo effect is started, and the sound 1 (“pyrone”) is output after a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed. Since the number of displacement accessories is one in accordance with the output, the displacement of only the first sword accessory 41 is started by S610 of the movable accessory drive start process (FIG. 14). At this time, even if the displacement of the first sword accessory 41 is completed, the displacement of the second sword accessory 42 is not started. The effect pattern a-1 is internally lost and is sorted by lottery at 7% when Super Reach A is selected.

In the "displacement effect pattern selection table A" referred to when the internal loss occurs, "when the number of displacement accessories is one", that is, only the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position. Each effect pattern and "when there are two displacement accessory types", that is, each effect pattern in which the first sword accessory 41 is first displaced to the final position and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position. The total of each of the distribution rates is 64% for "when the number of displacement accessories is one", while it is set to 36% for "when there are two displacement accessories". ing. That is, in the loss-time effect pattern selection table A, contrary to the above-mentioned hit-time effect pattern selection table A, when it is determined to be a loss in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach A is performed, the second sword accessory Probability of deciding that only the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position without displaced 42 to the final position (7% of effect pattern a-1, 9% of effect pattern a-2, effect pattern a-). 7% of 3, 9% of production pattern a-4, 7% of production pattern b-1, 9% of production pattern b-2, 7% of production pattern b-3, 9% of production pattern b-4, Probability lower than the total of 64% (8% of production pattern a-5, 8% of production pattern b-5, 1% of production pattern c-1, 3% of production pattern c-2, production 1% of pattern c-3, 3% of effect pattern c-4, 2% of effect pattern c-5, 1% of effect pattern d-1, 3% of effect pattern d-2, and effect pattern d-3. 36%, which is the total of 1%, 3% of the effect pattern d-4, and 2% of the effect pattern d-5), and the second sword accessory 42 after the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position. Is set to displace to the final position.

In the "displacement effect pattern selection table A", "when the number of displacement accessories is two", the displacement caused by the output of sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of displacement of the first sword accessory 41. In this case, the total distribution rate is 6% (3% for the effect pattern c-2 and 3% for the effect pattern d-2), whereas the displacement caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). In this case, the total distribution rate is 2% (1% of the effect pattern c-1 and 1% of the effect pattern d-1), and the former is set higher than the latter in the table.

Further, in the "loss effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is defined as the ratio C among all the cases where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. calculate. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 7% of the effect pattern a-1, 7% of the effect pattern b-1, 1% of the effect pattern c-1, and 1% of the effect pattern d-1. The total is 16%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is two" is the above 2%, and the ratio C is 2/16.
Similarly, in the "loss effect pattern selection table A", the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is the ratio D among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output. Calculate as. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 9% of the effect pattern a-2, 9% of the effect pattern b-2, 3% of the effect pattern c-2, and 3% of the effect pattern d-2. The total is 24%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is 6%, and the ratio D is 6/24.
Therefore, the ratio C (2/16 = 12/96) is set to have a lower distribution rate than the ratio D (6/24 = 24/96).
However, when the above-mentioned "hit effect pattern selection table A" is also targeted, that is, when the ratio A and the ratio B are also included, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio A and the ratio C is (60 + 12) / 96 = 72. On the other hand, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio B and the ratio D is (56 + 24) / 96 = 80/96. Therefore, regardless of the result of the hit / fail judgment, when the super reach A is executed, when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output as compared with the case where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. With a high probability, the second sword accessory 42 is set to be displaced to the final position after the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position.

(4) Regarding the hit-time effect pattern selection table B of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 35, super reach B is selected for the execution of the variation display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit internally. In this case, when the effect patterns E-1 to 5, the effect patterns F-1 to 5, the effect patterns G-1 to 5 and the effect patterns H-1 to 5 are big hits and Super Reach B is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of.

Each effect pattern and "when there are two displacement accessory types", that is, each effect pattern in which the first sword accessory 41 is first displaced to the final position and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position. The total of each of the distribution rates is 32% for "when the number of displacement accessories is one", while it is set to 68% for "when there are two displacement accessories". ing. That is, in the hit-time effect pattern selection table B, when it is determined as a big hit in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach B is performed, the second sword accessory 42 is not displaced to the final position and the first sword combination is performed. Probability of deciding that only object 41 should be displaced to the final position (2% of effect pattern E-1, 6% of effect pattern E-2, 2% of effect pattern E-3, 6% of effect pattern E-4, The probability (32%) is higher than the total of 2% of the production pattern F-1, 6% of the production pattern F-2, 2% of the production pattern F-3, and 6% of the production pattern F-4. 4% of pattern E-5, 4% of production pattern F-5, 4% of production pattern G-1, 8% of production pattern G-2, 4% of production pattern G-3, and 4% of production pattern G-4. 8%, 6% of production pattern G-5, 4% of production pattern H-1, 8% of production pattern H-2, 4% of production pattern H-3, 8% of production pattern H-4, production pattern 68%), which is the total of 6% of H-5, is set so that the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position.

In the "hit effect pattern selection table B", "when the number of displacement accessories is two", the displacement caused by the output of sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of the displacement of the first sword accessory 41. In this case, the total distribution rate is 16% (8% for the effect pattern G-2 and 8% for the effect pattern H-2), whereas the displacement caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). In this case, the total distribution rate is 8% (4% for the effect pattern G-1 and 4% for the effect pattern H-1), and the former is set higher than the latter in the table.

Further, in the "hit effect pattern selection table B", the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is defined as the ratio E among all the cases where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. calculate. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 2% of the effect pattern E-1, 2% of the effect pattern F-1, 4% of the effect pattern G-1, and 4% of the effect pattern H-1. The total is 12%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is two" is the above 8%, and the ratio E is 8/12.
Similarly, in the "hit effect pattern selection table B", among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is set to the ratio F. Calculate as. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 6% of the effect pattern E-2, 6% of the effect pattern F-2, 8% of the effect pattern G-2, and 8% of the effect pattern H-2. The total is 28%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is two" is 16%, and the ratio F is 16/28.
Therefore, the ratio E (8/12 = 56/84) is set to have a higher distribution rate than the ratio F (16/28 = 48/84). That is, in the setting of the "hit effect pattern selection table B", when the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, the probability is higher than when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output. The second sword accessory 42 is set to be displaced to the final position after the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position.

(5) Regarding the effect pattern selection table B at the time of loss in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, super reach B is selected with respect to the execution of the variation display in which the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost internally. In this case, when the effect patterns e-1 to 5, the effect patterns f-1 to 5, the effect patterns g-1 to 5, and the effect patterns h-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach B is selected as shown in the figure. It is sorted at the predetermined sorting rate of. Further, in each effect pattern, the number type of the displacement accessory of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42, and the displacement sound type are set in advance.

In the "displacement effect pattern selection table B" referred to when the internal loss occurs, "when the number of displacement accessories is one", that is, only the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position. Each effect pattern and "when there are two displacement accessory types", that is, each effect pattern in which the first sword accessory 41 is first displaced to the final position and then the second sword accessory 42 is displaced to the final position. The total of each of the distribution rates is set to 56% for "when the number of displacement accessories is one" and 44% for "when the number of displacement accessories is two". ing. That is, in the loss-time effect pattern selection table B, contrary to the above-mentioned hit-time effect pattern selection table B, when it is determined to be a loss in the winning / failing lottery and the super reach B is performed, the second sword accessory Probability of deciding that only the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position without displaced 42 to the final position (5% of effect pattern e-1, 9% of effect pattern e-2, effect pattern e-). 5% of 3, 9% of production pattern e-4, 5% of production pattern f-1, 9% of production pattern f-2, 5% of production pattern f-3, 9% of production pattern f-4, The probability is lower than the total of 56% (7% of the effect pattern e-5, 7% of the effect pattern f-5, 1% of the effect pattern g-1, 5% of the effect pattern g-2, and the effect. 1% of pattern g-3, 5% of effect pattern g-4, 3% of effect pattern g-5, 1% of effect pattern h-1, 5% of effect pattern h-2, of effect pattern h-3 44%, which is the total of 1%, 5% of the effect pattern h-4, and 3% of the effect pattern h-5), and the second sword accessory 42 after the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position. Is set to displace to the final position.

In the "displacement effect pattern selection table B", "when the number of displacement accessories is two", the displacement caused by the output of sound 2 (second displacement sound) at the start of displacement of the first sword accessory 41. In this case, the total distribution rate is 10% (5% of the effect pattern g-2, 5% of the effect pattern h-2), whereas the displacement caused by the output of sound 1 (first displacement sound). In this case, the total distribution rate is 2% (1% of the effect pattern g-1 and 1% of the effect pattern h-1), and the former is set higher than the latter in the table.

Further, in the "loss production pattern selection table B", the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is defined as the ratio G among all the cases where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. calculate. When sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output, 5% of the effect pattern e-1, 5% of the effect pattern f-1, 1% of the effect pattern g-1, and 1% of the effect pattern h-1. The total is 12%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is two" is the above 2%, and the ratio G is 2/12.
Similarly, in the "loss effect pattern selection table B", the ratio of "when the number of displacement accessories is 2" is the ratio H among all the cases where the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output. Calculate as. When sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, 9% of the effect pattern e-2, 9% of the effect pattern f-2, 5% of the effect pattern g-2, and 5% of the effect pattern h-2. The total is 28%. Among them, "when the number of displacement accessories is two" is the above 10%, and the ratio H is 10/28.
Therefore, the ratio G (2/12 = 14/84) is set to have a lower distribution rate than the ratio H (10/28 = 30/84).
However, when the above-mentioned "hit effect pattern selection table B" is also targeted, that is, when the ratio E and the ratio F are also included, the total of the distribution rates of the ratio E and the ratio G is (56 + 14) / 84 = 70. On the other hand, the sum of the distribution rates of the ratio F and the ratio H is (48 + 30) / 84 = 78/84. Therefore, regardless of the result of the hit / fail judgment, when the super reach B is executed, when the sound 2 (second displacement sound) is output, the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output as compared with the case where the sound 1 (first displacement sound) is output. With a high probability, the second sword accessory 42 is set to be displaced to the final position after the first sword accessory 41 is displaced to the final position.

(6) Regarding the hit effect pattern selection table C and the loss effect pattern selection table C of the third embodiment FIG. 37 (a) shows the case where the big hit is internally and the case where the super reach C is selected. It is a "hit time effect pattern selection table C" referred to in. That is, when Super Reach C is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internal, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is a big hit, the effect patterns I-1 to 5 are big hits and Super Reach C is as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is selected. However, when the "hit effect pattern selection table C" is referred to, the displacement of the first sword accessory 41 and the second sword accessory 42 and the displacement sound are performed regardless of the effect pattern. The output of is set not to be performed.
Further, FIG. 37B is a “missing effect pattern selection table C” referred to in the case of internal loss and when super reach C is selected. That is, when Super Reach C is selected for the execution of the variable display that is internal, that is, the result of the winning / failing lottery is lost, the effect patterns i-1 to 5 are lost and Super Reach C is lost as shown in the figure. It is sorted at a predetermined sorting rate when it is selected. However, when the "displacement effect pattern selection table C" is referred to, the first sword accessory 41 and the first sword accessory 41 and the first sword accessory 41 and the first sword accessory 41 and the same as the "hit effect pattern selection table C" are used regardless of the effect pattern. 2 The displacement of the sword accessory 42 and the output of the displacement sound are set so as not to be performed.

In the third embodiment, when a pseudo-effect with a high expectation of a big hit, that is, super reach A or B is selected by the setting of the various effect pattern selection tables, if a big hit is internally made, the third embodiment is performed. After the 1st effect movable accessory is displaced to the final position, the 2nd effect movable accessory is easily displaced. If the effect is lost, the first effect movable accessory is simply displaced to the final position and then the second effect is performed. Since the movable accessory is set so that it is difficult to displace it to the final position, it is possible to estimate the degree of expectation that will be a big hit according to the number type of displacement accessory, and it is output before the type of displacement accessory is determined. The number of displacement accessories can be estimated according to the type of displacement sound. As a result, the player can obtain the fun of predicting the number of displacement accessories and the expected degree of jackpot by the displacement sound output prior to the displacement of the effect movable accessory.

Although a plurality of examples have been described above as the embodiments according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this, and other configurations may be adopted as long as they are within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. ..

The intermediate position in the first embodiment is not limited to the case where it means a position that is exactly in the middle (middle) with respect to the displacement distance of the effect movable accessory between the initial position and the final position. That is, for example, the movable range of the effect movable accessory may be any position as long as it is larger than the initial position (close to the final position) and smaller than the final position (close to the initial position). It is also possible to. When such a concept is adopted, in other words, the intermediate position is an initial position on a predetermined route of displacement of the effect movable accessory (a trajectory starting from the initial position and ending at the final position). And a predetermined position different from the final position.

Further, in the first embodiment, the displacement to the final position via the intermediate position may be a configuration in which the effect movable accessory is temporarily stopped at the intermediate position or a configuration in which the effect movable accessory is not temporarily stopped. If it is configured to stop once, the player has a feeling of expectation that the displacement this time will not end at the intermediate position as it is, but will be displaced to the final position during the period of temporary stop. It can be displaced and the interest is improved. In addition, if the configuration does not stop once, the production can be advanced at a good tempo without leaving a gap.

The intermediate form in the second embodiment means a form in which the displacement amount is exactly in the middle (middle) in the displacement amount of the form that changes due to the driving of the effect movable accessory between the initial form and the final form. It is not limited to. That is, for example, the displacement amount of the effect movable accessory may be any form as long as it is larger than the initial form and smaller than the final form. When such a concept is adopted, in other words, the intermediate form is a process in which a predetermined effect movable accessory is changed by driving (a constant development process starting from the initial form and ending at the final form). It is a predetermined form different from the above initial form and final form.

Further, in the second embodiment, changing the form to the final form via the intermediate form may mean that the effect movable accessory is temporarily stopped or not temporarily stopped in the intermediate form. .. If the configuration is to stop once, the player expects that the current form change will not end in the intermediate form as it is, but will change to the final form during the temporarily stopped period. Can be embraced, and the interest is improved. In addition, if the configuration does not stop once, the production can be advanced at a good tempo without leaving a gap.

Further, in the third embodiment, the displacement of the second effect movable accessory after the displacement of the first effect movable accessory means that the displacement of the second effect movable accessory is performed after the displacement of the first effect movable accessory is completed. It may be a configuration that delays the start of the above or a configuration that does not delay the start of. If it is configured to be delayed, the displacement this time does not end with only the displacement of the first effect movable accessory as it is, and does not displace to the subsequent second effect movable accessory during the delayed period. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation, and the interest is improved. In addition, if the configuration does not delay, the production can be advanced at a good tempo without causing any delay.

As the displacement sound in the first embodiment and the third embodiment, different displacement sounds may be provided in addition to the first displacement sound and the second displacement sound. In addition, there may be a case where the displacement sound is not output even if the effect movable accessory is displaced. As a result, it is possible to provide a plurality of developments when the displacement sound is generated and when it is not generated, and the variation is enriched and the interest is improved.

As the morphological change sound in the second embodiment, different morphological change sounds may be provided in addition to the first morphological change sound and the second morphological change sound. In addition, there may be a case where the form change sound is not output even if the form of the effect movable accessory changes. As a result, it is possible to provide a plurality of developments when the morphological change sound is generated and when it is not generated, and the variation is enriched and the interest is improved.

In the first embodiment and the third embodiment, a plurality of types of combinations may be provided as the combination of the first displacement sound and the second displacement sound. In such a case, it is preferable to define the plurality of types of first displacement sounds in different combinations as the first displacement sound, and similarly, the plurality of types of second displacement sounds in different combinations as the second displacement sound.

In the second embodiment, a plurality of types of combinations may be provided as the combination of the first form changing sound and the second form changing sound. In such a case, a plurality of types of first form changing sounds in different combinations are defined as first form changing sounds, and similarly, a plurality of types of second form changing sounds in different combinations are defined as second form changing sounds. Is preferable.

In the first embodiment, the displacement sound output by the displacement sound output means is an effect output when the effect movable accessory is displaced from the initial position to the intermediate position during the execution of a predetermined pseudo effect. Any sound is fine. Therefore, even if the effect movable accessory is output before the displacement, the effect movable accessory is continuously output while being stopped at the intermediate position, or from the intermediate position to the final position. There is no problem whether it is displaced or continuously output, and it is all within the range of "displacement sound". It is preferable that the output of the displacement sound is started by the time the displacement is performed to the intermediate position at the latest.

Similarly, in the first embodiment, the second displacement sound may be composed of a sound including the first displacement sound. That is, the second displacement sound is a combined sound of the first displacement sound and another sound, a sound output by overlapping the first displacement sound and the other sound, or a chord with the first displacement sound. It may be configured as. Therefore, as for the second displacement sound configured in this way, the same sound as the first displacement sound is output at the beginning of output, and the other sound different from the first displacement sound overlaps with the first displacement sound in the middle. Is output. As a specific output method of such a second displacement sound, another sound that is not in the first displacement sound is heard before the effect movable accessory starts displacement from the initial position and reaches the intermediate position. The configuration in which the output is added is preferable.

In the second embodiment, the form-changing sound output by the form-changing sound output means is output when the effect movable accessory changes its form from the initial form to the intermediate form during the execution of a predetermined pseudo-effect. Any directing sound is acceptable. Therefore, even if the effect movable accessory is output before the form changes, the effect movable accessory is continuously output while the effect movable accessory is stopped in the intermediate form, or the intermediate form is changed to the final form. There is no problem whether the sound is continuously output even when the shape is changed, and all are within the range of the "shape change sound". It is preferable that the output of the morphological change sound is started by the time the displacement is performed to the intermediate position at the latest.

Similarly, in the second embodiment, the second form changing sound may be composed of a sound including the first form changing sound. That is, the second morphological change sound is a combined voice of the first morphological change sound and another voice, a voice in which the first morphological change sound and another voice are output in an overlapping manner, or a first morphological change sound. It may be configured as a chord with. Therefore, in the second form change sound configured in this way, the same sound as the first form change sound is output at the beginning of output, and the other sound different from the first form change sound is changed in the first form in the middle. It is output in duplicate with the sound. As a specific output method of such a second form change sound, there is no other method in the first form change sound before the effect movable accessory starts the form change from the initial form and reaches the intermediate form. It is preferable that the sound of the above is added and output.

In the third embodiment, the displacement sound output by the displacement sound output means is output when the first effect movable accessory is displaced from the initial position to the intermediate position during the execution of the predetermined pseudo effect. Any directing sound will do. Therefore, even if the output is output before the first effect movable accessory is displaced, the first effect movable accessory is stopped at the final position and continues in a state where the second effect movable accessory has not yet started displacement. Even if the second effect movable accessory is displaced from the initial position to the final position or is continuously output, there is no problem and all are within the range of "displacement sound". .. It is preferable that the output of the displacement sound is started by the time the first effect movable accessory finishes the displacement at the latest.

Similarly, in the third embodiment, the second displacement sound may be composed of a sound including the first displacement sound. That is, the second displacement sound is a combined sound of the first displacement sound and another sound, a sound output by overlapping the first displacement sound and the other sound, or a chord with the first displacement sound. It may be configured as. Therefore, as for the second displacement sound configured in this way, the same sound as the first displacement sound is output at the beginning of output, and the other sound different from the first displacement sound overlaps with the first displacement sound in the middle. Is output. As a specific output method of such a second displacement sound, there is another method that the first displacement sound does not have before the first effect movable accessory starts displacement from the initial position and reaches the final position. A configuration in which audio is added and output is preferable.

In the first embodiment, the displacement range determining means (effect pattern setting process) is configured to determine that the displacement range is displaced from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position only when the winning / failing determination means determines that the vehicle has won. Is also good. As a result, the degree of expectation when the displacement to the final position is increased. Similarly, when the second displacement sound is determined, the configuration may be such that the displacement is always made from the initial position to the final position via the intermediate position. As a result, the degree of expectation when the second displacement sound is output is increased. However, even when the first displacement sound is determined, it is preferable to provide a case where the first displacement sound is displaced to the final position.

Similarly, in the first embodiment, even in the configuration in which the displacement sound is determined according to the determination after the displacement range is determined, the displacement range is determined according to the determination after the displacement sound is determined. Alternatively, the displacement range and the displacement sound may be determined together. Regardless of the configuration, there is no difference in the action and effect of the present invention.

In the second embodiment, the form change determining means (effect pattern setting process) is configured so that it is determined that the form is changed from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form only when the winning / failing determination means determines that the form has been won. You may. As a result, the degree of expectation when the form changes to the final form is increased. Similarly, when the second form change sound is determined, the form may be changed from the initial form to the final form via the intermediate form. As a result, the degree of expectation when the second form change sound is output is increased. However, even when the first form change sound is determined, it is preferable to provide a case where the form changes until the final form.

Similarly, in the second embodiment, even if the configuration is such that the morphological change sound is determined according to the determination after the morphological change is determined, the morphological change is determined according to the determination after the morphological change sound is determined. The configuration may be determined, or the configuration may be such that the morphological change and the morphological change sound are determined together. Regardless of the configuration, there is no difference in the action and effect of the present invention.

In the third embodiment, the displacement accessory number determining means (effect pattern setting process) is the second effect movable combination after the first effect movable accessory is displaced only when it is determined by the hit / fail determination means that the first effect movable accessory has been displaced. The configuration may not be determined when the object is displaced. As a result, the degree of expectation is high when the first effect movable accessory and the second effect movable accessory are displaced. Similarly, when the second displacement sound is determined, the first effect movable accessory and the second effect movable accessory may be configured to be displaced. As a result, the degree of expectation when the second displacement sound is output is increased. However, even when the first displacement sound is determined, it is preferable to provide a case where the first effect movable accessory and the second effect movable accessory are displaced.

Similarly, in the third embodiment, even if the displacement sound is determined according to the determination after the number of displacement accessories is determined, the displacement accessories are determined according to the determination after the displacement sound is determined. The number may be determined, or the number of displacement accessories and the displacement sound may be determined together. Regardless of the configuration, there is no difference in the action and effect of the present invention.

In the first embodiment and the third embodiment, the initial position determining means is configured to determine whether or not it exists at the initial position in the detection state of the sensor, regardless of whether or not the effect movable accessory is displaced. A configuration that determines at the start of all fluctuations is preferable. Further, the configuration is not limited to the time when the fluctuation starts, and the determination may be made when the fluctuation stops. As a result, it is possible to maintain stable performance because the abnormality of the initial position is always determined each time the fluctuation is displayed.

In the second embodiment, the initial form determining means is configured to determine whether or not it exists at the initial position in the detection state of the sensor, and all fluctuations are started regardless of whether or not the effect movable accessory is changed in form. A configuration that is sometimes judged is preferable. Further, the configuration is not limited to the time when the fluctuation starts, and the determination may be made when the fluctuation stops. As a result, it is possible to maintain stable performance because the abnormality of the initial form is always determined each time the fluctuation is displayed.

In the first embodiment and the third embodiment, if the effect movable accessory does not return to the initial position even though the effect movable accessory is controlled to return to the initial position by the initial position return control means, the cause is Failure is expected with high probability. At this time, the displacement sound output means is configured to determine the displacement sound on the premise that the effect movable accessory is not displaced due to a failure or the like. Therefore, a special displacement sound category may be provided to output the displacement sound selected only in such a situation.

In the second embodiment, if the effect movable accessory does not return to the initial form even though the effect movable accessory is controlled to return to the initial form by the initial form return control means, the cause is a high probability of failure. is expected. At this time, the displacement sound output means is configured to determine the form change sound on the premise that the effect movable accessory does not change its form for returning due to a failure or the like. Therefore, a special morphological change sound category may be provided to output the morphological change sound selected only in such a situation.

In the first to third embodiments, as the effect movable accessory, an accessory having only a function of displacing or changing the form has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other functions, that is, displacement, etc. In addition to the function of changing the form, the configuration may be provided with other functions. For example, a configuration such as a so-called movable sub liquid crystal may be adopted as an example of the effect movable accessory of the present invention. As a result, before the conventional movable sub liquid crystal is displaced or the function of changing the shape is activated, the corresponding sound is output, so that the result of the displacement or shape change of the movable sub liquid crystal is determined. Even during the period up to, the player can enjoy inferring the expectation level of the special game by referring to the type of voice. Further, the movable sub-liquid crystal can be configured to display the expected effect of the result by itself until the result of the displacement or the morphological change is determined, which can provide an unprecedented interest.
