In the second transition pattern of the effect screen, as shown in FIG. 5 (I), the digestion game number image 92 is displayed without executing the specific control. In the example of FIG. 5 (I), the digestion game number display SE is output from the speaker 53. The digestion game number display SE is, for example, an SE called "Don!".

After the screen of FIG. 5 (I), the screen transitions to the screen of FIG. 5 (J). In FIG. 5 (J), the acquired number image 94 is displayed without executing the specific control. In the example of FIG. 5 (J), the acquired number display SE is output from the speaker 53. The acquired number display SE is, for example, an SE called "Don!".

The image of FIG. 5 (J) is displayed for a predetermined time (5 seconds in this embodiment). FIG. 5 (K) shows after the result display is completed. FIG. 5 (K) is the same as FIG. 4 (S).

<Third transition pattern on the production screen>
Next, the third transition pattern of the effect screen will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 6. Comparing the third transition pattern on the production screen with the first transition pattern on the production screen, the spark image did not move in the first transition pattern on the production screen, but the entire display was displayed in the third transition pattern on the production screen. The spark image is displayed in a manner that moves from the edge of the region to the central portion.

In the third transition pattern of the effect screen, when the screen of FIG. 2 (H) ends, the screen transitions to the screen of FIG. 6 (I). Further, as the lighting mode of the lamp 63, the result display mode is maintained until the state shown in FIG. 6 (L) is reached. FIG. 6 (I) is a diagram showing the start of spark display. In the example of FIG. 6 (I), a part of the first spark image 42 and a part of the second spark image 44 are displayed at the right end of the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. Further, in the example of FIG. 6 (I), the spark SE is output from the speaker 53. The spark SE is, for example, a "snap" sound. Further, the lamp 63 lights up in the result display mode. As a modification, a part of the first spark image 42 and a part of the second spark image 44 may be displayed on different end sides of the entire display area. For example, a part of the first spark image 42 may be displayed on the left end side of the entire display area, and a part of the second spark image 44 may be displayed on the right end side of the entire display area.

FIG. 6 (J) shows the middle of the spark display (spark slide display). In FIG. 6J, the first spark image 42 and the second spark image 44, which are partially displayed, move toward the center. Further, in the example of FIG. 6J, the spark movement SE indicating that the spark is moving is output from the speaker 53. The spark movement SE is, for example, a "shut" sound. Further, the lamp 63 lights up in a spark manner.

FIG. 6 (K) shows the stop of the spark image. In FIG. 6K, the first spark image 42 stops at the first spark image area 42A at the center of the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51. Further, the second spark image 44 stops at the second spark image area 44A at the center of the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 51.

FIG. 6 (L) shows the result display. As shown in FIG. 6 (L), the first spark image 42 changes to the digestion game number image 92 in the first spark image area 42A, and the second spark image 44 is the acquired number image in the second spark image area 44A. It changes to 94.

Further, in the example of FIG. 6 (L), the result display SE indicating that the result display has been executed is output from the speaker 53. The result display SE is, for example, a "buzz" sound. Further, the lamp 63 lights up in the result display mode.

The image of FIG. 6 (L) is displayed for a predetermined time (5 seconds in this embodiment). FIG. 6M shows after the result display is completed. FIG. 6 (M) is the same as FIG. 4 (S).

<Fourth transition pattern on the production screen>
Next, the fourth transition pattern of the effect screen will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 7. Comparing the fourth transition pattern of the effect screen with the first transition pattern of the effect screen, in the first transition pattern of the effect screen, the acquired number image 94 is displayed after the digestion game number image 92 is displayed. In the fourth transition pattern of the effect screen, the digestion game number image 92 and the acquired number image 94 are displayed at the same time.

In the fourth transition pattern of the effect screen, when the screen of FIG. 2 (H) ends, the screen transitions to the screen of FIG. 7 (I). Further, as the lighting mode of the lamp 63, the result display mode is maintained until the state shown in FIG. 7 (L) is reached. FIG. 7 (I) shows the case where the result display is started. In FIG. 7 (I), the first specific image 26 and the second specific image 30 are displayed at the same time. In FIG. 7 (I), the first specific image 26 and the second specific image 30 include images in which the five-digit numerical values fluctuate. Further, in the example of FIG. 7 (I), the result display start SE is output. The result display start SE is, for example, a "pyeong" sound.

FIG. 7 (J) shows that the first-digit numerical value in the first specific image 26 and the first-digit numerical value in the second specific image 30 are stopped at the same time. In the example of FIG. 7 (J), "0" is displayed in the first specific image 26, and "0" is displayed in the second specific image 30. Further, in the example of FIG. 7 (J), the first digit stop SE is output. The first-digit stop SE is, for example, a "pin" sound.

FIG. 7K shows that the second-digit numerical value in the first specific image 26 and the second-digit numerical value in the second specific image 30 have stopped at the same time. In the example of FIG. 7 (K), "0" is displayed in the first specific image 26, and "8" is displayed in the second specific image 30. Further, in the example of FIG. 7K, the second digit stop SE is output. The second-digit stop SE is, for example, a "pin" sound.

FIG. 7 (L) shows that the third-digit numerical value in the first specific image 26 and the third-digit numerical value in the second specific image 30 stopped at the same time. In the example of FIG. 7 (L), "1" is displayed in the first specific image 26, and "1" is displayed in the second specific image 30. Further, in the example of FIG. 7K, the third digit stop SE is output. The third-digit stop SE is, for example, a "pin" sound.

Further, in the example of FIG. 7 (L), the fourth-digit and fifth-digit numerical fluctuations are also stopped. In the example of FIG. 7 (L), the 4th and 5th digit areas are blank. As a modification, other images may be displayed in the 4th and 5th digit areas. The other image may be, for example, "0".

The image of FIG. 7 (L) is displayed for a predetermined time (5 seconds in this embodiment). FIG. 7 (M) shows after the result display is finished. FIG. 7 (M) is the same as FIG. 4 (S).

Further, FIG. 8 shows a case where a double-digit numerical value is displayed in each of the first specific image 26 and the second specific image 30. As shown in FIG. 8, even when displaying a double-digit numerical value in the first specific image 26 and the second specific image 30, the five-digit numerical value is high speed as in the case of displaying the three-digit numerical value. A moving specific image is displayed (see FIGS. 7 (I) and 8 (I)).

In FIG. 8, 50 games are displayed as the number of AT digestion games, and 90 medals are displayed as the number of medals won in the AT (see FIG. 8 (K)).

Further, the transition of any one of the above-mentioned "first transition pattern of the effect screen to the fourth transition pattern of the effect screen" may be adopted. In addition, at least two transitions of the production screen from "the first transition pattern of the production screen to the fourth transition pattern of the production screen" are adopted, and which production screen transition is to be determined by a random number lottery or the like. It may be.

<Timing chart>
Next, a timing chart of the processing of the main control unit 41 and the processing of the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 shows the extracted first to fourth transition patterns. It is assumed that the lever-on operation for starting the next game of the AT final game is executed at the timing t1 (see FIG. 2 (F)).

The timing at which the lever-on operation is completed (the timing when the player releases the finger from the start switch 7) is set as the timing t2. At the timing t2, a lever-on command is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91. Here, the lever-on command is a command that allows the sub-control unit 91 to specify that the lever-on operation has been executed by the player.

Further, the sub control unit 91 has a timer for measuring the time. At the timing t2, the sub control unit 91 starts displaying the door image 22 and starts measuring the predetermined period T. Here, the predetermined period T means a period from the start timing (timing t2) of the predetermined period T to the execution of the result display. In the present embodiment, the predetermined period T is also a period during which the door closing effect (see FIGS. 2 (F) to 2 (H)) is executed. In the first effect pattern and the like, the predetermined period T also includes a period in which the specific image is displayed. Further, at the timing t2, the sub control unit 91 outputs SE when the lever is turned on (see FIG. 2 (F)).

The timing t3 is the timing at which the door closing effect is completed, that is, the timing at which the predetermined period T has elapsed from the timing t2. At the timing t3, the result display (FIGS. 3 (I) to 4 (R) are executed. At the timing t4, the result display ends (see FIG. 4 (R)).

[Effect of this embodiment]
Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.

(1) In the present embodiment, when the AT ends, the result display control for displaying the result images (digestion game number image 92 and acquired number image 94) showing the result of the game in the AT is executed. .. The result display control is, for example, a process of specifying the number of digested games and the number of acquired games in the AT, a process of generating image data of a result image from the specified number, and a result based on the generated image data. Includes processing to display images. Further, when the lever-on operation for starting the next game of the AT final game is executed, the door image 22 as a related image related to the result image is displayed (see FIG. 2 (F)). In other words, when starting the result display control, the door image 22 different from the result image is displayed. Further, when the predetermined period T elapses (or after) after the display of the door image 22 is started, the result image is displayed. The predetermined period T is a period of timing t2 to timing t3 of FIG. 9, and is a period during which the door closing effect is executed (see FIGS. 2 (F) to 2 (H)).

In the case of the first transition pattern of the effect screen shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, when the predetermined period T elapses and the display of the specific image is completed, the result display of FIG. 3 (M) is started. To. Further, in the case of the second transition pattern of the effect screen shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the result display of FIG. 5 (I) is started when the predetermined period T elapses.

In this way, even if the AT ends, the result image is displayed when the predetermined period T elapses, so that the display of the result image can be made conspicuous. Therefore, attention can be drawn to the resulting image. In the example of FIG. 9, the predetermined period T is the period during which the door closing effect is executed, but as a modified example, the predetermined period is, for example, a period during which the door closing effect is executed and a specific image. It may be a total institution with the displayed period. In this case, in the case of the first transition pattern of the effect screen shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the result display of FIG. 3 (M) is started when the predetermined period T elapses.

(2) Further, the door image 22 is displayed by the time when the predetermined period T elapses after the display of the door image 22 is started (in the present embodiment, at the timing when the display of the door image 22 is started). The SE at the time of lever-on, which is a sound related to the lever-on operation that triggers the lever-on operation, is output (see FIG. 2 (F)). Therefore, since the sound related to this lever-on operation is output before the result image is displayed, even if this sound is output, the player's attention to the display of the result image is hindered. Can be prevented.

(3) Further, it is an effect related to the lever-on operation that triggers the display of the door image 22 from the start of the display of the door image 22 to the elapse of the predetermined period T, and is other than the liquid crystal display 51. An effect using the lamp 63, which is a means, is executed. In the present embodiment, this effect is an effect of lighting the lamp 63 in the result display mode as shown in FIGS. 2 (F) to 2 (H). Therefore, since the effect of turning on the lamp 63 in the result display mode is executed before the result image is displayed, the player pays attention to the display of the result image even if the effect is executed. It can be prevented from being hindered.

(4) Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 (M) and 4 (R), a plurality of result images are displayed stepwise as the result images (after the digestion game number image 92 is displayed, the acquired number image). 94 is displayed). Therefore, it is possible to attract the attention of the player for each of the plurality of result images.

(5) Further, as shown in FIG. 2H, the image in which the door image 22 is completely closed becomes the background image 23. The background image 23 is displayed at a brightness lower than the brightness of an image different from the background image 23 (for example, the result image) (see FIG. 2F). Therefore, since the brightness of the background image 23 is lowered, the result image can be made conspicuous (see FIG. 4 (R)). Therefore, attention can be drawn to the resulting image.

(6) Further, the image in which the door image 22 moves (closes) is displayed until a predetermined period T elapses after the lever-on operation for starting the next game of the AT final game is executed (FIG. 2). (F) and FIG. 2 (G)). Further, an image (that is, a background image 23) in which the door image 22 does not move due to the completion of closing of the door image 22 is displayed when a predetermined period T elapses (see FIG. 2H). Therefore, when the image in which the door image 22 does not move (that is, the background image 23) is displayed due to the closing of the door image 22, the result image is displayed (see FIG. 3 (M) and the like). Therefore, since the movement of the door image 22 does not hinder the display of the result image, the result image can be attracted attention.

(7) Further, it is a means for controlling the progress of the game, and includes a main control unit 41 for transmitting a command and a sub control unit 91 for controlling the effect based on the command. The sub control unit 91 can control the liquid crystal display 51. Further, from the time when the lever-on command that can identify that the lever-on operation for starting the next game of the AT final game (the operation that triggers the display of the door image 22 to start) has been executed is received (FIG. 9). Timing t2), includes a timer for measuring the passage of a predetermined period T. The liquid crystal display 51 displays the result image when the passage of the predetermined period T is measured by the timer (timing t3 in FIG. 9). In this way, since the sub-control unit 91 that controls the liquid crystal display 51 measures the passage of the predetermined period T, it is possible to easily manage the display timing of the result image.

(8) Further, the sub-control unit 91 executes an effect relating to the display of the result image, which is a light emission effect for causing the lamp 63 to emit light in the result display mode. Further, the sub-control unit 91 has a door image as shown in a specific period (for example, FIGS. 3 (F) to 4 (R)) from the time when the door closing effect is started (see FIG. 2 (F)). After executing this light emission effect (see FIG. 4 (R)) for a period from the time when 22 is displayed to the time when all the result images are displayed), the light emission mode of the lamp 63 is changed to the non-AT mode (non-AT mode). Light emission mode that does not blink). Therefore, after this light emitting effect is executed for a specific period, the light emitting mode of the lamp 63 becomes a non-AT mode (a mode in which the lamp does not blink and the lighting is continued, or a mode in which the lamp does not light). The control load on the lamp 63 is reduced.

(9) Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (I) and the like, the first spark image 24 is displayed in the first spark image area 24A, and after the display of the first spark image 24 is completed, FIG. 3 (M) shows. As shown, the digestion game number image 92 is displayed in the first spark image area 24A. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (N) and the like, the second spark image 28 is displayed in the second spark image area 28A, and after the display of the second spark image 28 is completed, it is also shown in FIG. 4 (R). As described above, the acquired number image 94 is displayed in the second spark image area 28A. Further, as shown in FIG. 6K and the like, the first spark image 42 is displayed in the first spark image area 42A, and the second spark image 44 is displayed in the second spark image area 44A. Then, after the display of the first spark image 42 and the second spark image 44 is completed, the digestion game number image 92 and the acquired number image 94 are displayed in the first spark image area 42A and the second spark image area 44A, respectively. Therefore, since the result image (digestion game number image 92 and acquired number image 94) is displayed in the spark area where the spark image is displayed, the display of the result image can be made conspicuous, and the result image attracts attention. be able to.

(10) Hereinafter, the first spark image area 24A and the second spark image area 28A are collectively referred to as a spark image area. Further, the first spark image 24 and the second spark image 28 are displayed so as to be higher than the brightness of the image (for example, the background image 23) different from both the first spark image 24 and the second spark image 28. Therefore, the attention to the spark image can be attracted, and the attention to the result image displayed in the spark image area where the spark image is displayed can also be attracted.

(11) The liquid crystal display 51 is an area including a spark image area, and has an entire display area in which an image different from the spark image is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the liquid crystal display 51 displays "an image of moving the spark image from the edge side of the entire display area to the spark image area located in the center", and displays the spark image in the spark image area. indicate. Therefore, attention can be focused on the moving spark image, and the result image is also displayed in the spark image area where the spark image is displayed, so that the result image can be attracted attention.

(12) Further, a result numerical value indicating the result of the AT (a numerical value related to the number of digested games of the AT and a numerical value related to the number of acquired games at the AT) is displayed as a result image when the AT ends. Further, when displaying the result image, the display of the first specific image 26 and the second specific image 30 is performed as a specific control executed so that the player does not easily recognize the digit number of the result numerical value. Is executed during the period until the display of is completed (see FIGS. 3 (J) to 4 (R), FIGS. 7 (I) to 7 (L), and FIGS. 8 (I) to 8 (K)). Therefore, since the specific control is executed so that the player does not easily recognize the number of digits of the result numerical value when displaying the result image, for example, the expectation of what the number of digits of the result numerical value is. The feeling can be given to the player during the period during which the specific control is executed (the period until the display of the result numerical value is completed).

(13) Further, a control that suggests a numerical value having a larger number of digits (for example, 5 digits in the example of FIG. 3) than the number of digits of the result numerical value actually displayed (for example, 3 digits in the example of FIG. 3). Is executed as a specific control. Therefore, it is possible to make the player think that the result numerical value is displayed as if a numerical value having a large number of digits is displayed.

(14) Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 (J) to 3 (M), the control of displaying the result numerical values step by step in ascending order from the first digit (displaying in ascending order from the smallest digit number) is performed. Execute as specific control (display the result numerical value in the order of 1st digit → 2nd digit → 3rd digit). Therefore, it is possible to make the player think as if a numerical value having a large number of digits is displayed.

(15) Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 (A) to 2 (D), the number of remaining AT games and the number of acquired games are displayed until the number of remaining AT games reaches 4, while the number of remaining AT games is displayed. In the period from the time when the number of games becomes 3 to the end of AT, neither the number of remaining AT games nor the number of acquired games is displayed. Therefore, since the player is not made to recognize the number of remaining AT games and the number of acquired games in advance before the result image is displayed, the result image can be attracted attention.

(16) Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the result numerical value of the first digit number (three digits in the example of FIG. 7) is displayed and the second digit number (example of FIG. 8). Then, the common specific control is executed when the double-digit) result numerical value is displayed. Here, the common specific control is a control for displaying an image in which each of the five-digit numerical values fluctuates. Therefore, the processing of the specific control is compared with "a game machine in which different images are displayed when the result numerical value of the first digit number is displayed and when the result numerical value of the second digit number is displayed". The burden can be reduced.

[Modification example]
Although the main embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

(1) In the present embodiment, as the result image, the digestion game number image 92 and the acquired number image 94 are illustrated. However, the resulting images are not limited to these images. For example, any image may be used as long as the numerical value updated according to the progress of the game in the advantageous state can be specified. The numerical value may be, for example, the total number of navigations executed during the advantageous state (for example, during AT). Further, the numerical value may be the number of winnings of a small winning combination in an advantageous state. Further, the numerical value may be the number of times the mission is completed for the mission presented in the advantageous state. Further, if the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine, the numerical value may be the number of winnings to the winning opening of the gaming medium in the big hit state.

In the present embodiment, the result images are described as two images (digestion game number image 92 and acquired number image 94). However, the result image may be any one of these two images. Further, the result image may be an image of 3 or more in which the numerical value updated according to the progress of the game in the advantageous state can be specified.

Further, the result image is not limited to such a numerical value, and may be a result image based on the end of the advantageous state. The result image may be, for example, information that can identify that the advantageous state has ended, for example, a character such as "end". Thus, the result image is an image that is displayed in connection with the end of the AT.

(2) Further, in the present embodiment, it is explained that the result image is displayed when the predetermined period T elapses, and the predetermined trigger for the measurement of the predetermined period T is "lever-on to start the next game of the AT final game". It was explained as "operation". However, the predetermined trigger may be another trigger. For example, it may be an opportunity to end the final game in an advantageous state. If the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, the opportunity may be when the third stop in the final game in the advantageous state is started. Further, the opportunity may be when the third stop in the final game in the advantageous state is completed. Further, if the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine, it may be the time when the last fluctuation display in the jackpot state ends.

(3) Further, in the present embodiment, since the predetermined trigger is the lever-on operation, the sound related to the predetermined trigger has been described as "SE at lever-on". When this predetermined trigger is, for example, the third stop, the sound related to the predetermined trigger may be "SE at the third stop". Further, when a small winning combination (a winning combination for paying medals) is won by the third stop, the sound related to the predetermined opportunity may be a sound for notifying the number of medals to be paid out. This sound is, for example, the sound "X GET!" (X is the number of medals to be paid out). Further, it is preferable that the output of the sound related to the predetermined trigger is completed by the time the result image is displayed. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player's attention to the display of the result image from being hindered.

(4) Further, the predetermined effect executed from the establishment of the predetermined opportunity (after the lever-on operation for starting the next game of the AT final game is executed) until the result image is displayed is shown in FIG. 2 (F). ) -As shown in FIG. 2 (H), it has been described that the door image 22 is a door closing effect. However, the predetermined effect is not limited to this effect, and may be another effect. The other effect may be, for example, an effect in which a predetermined character is displayed. Further, in the other production, for example, when the predetermined opportunity is set to the third stop, when a small winning combination (a winning combination for paying medals) is won by the third stop, the characters "X sheets GET!" Are displayed. It may be a production to do. Further, it is preferable that the predetermined effect is completed by the time the result image is displayed. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player's attention to the display of the result image from being hindered.

(5) Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined period T has been described as a period from the time when the predetermined opportunity is established to the time when the spark display of FIG. 3 (I) is started. That is, the end timing of the predetermined period T has been described as the timing at which the spark display is started (FIG. 3 (I)). However, the end timing of the predetermined period may be any timing as long as it is related to the display of the result image. The end timing may be, for example, a timing at which the digestion game number image 92, which is the first result image, is displayed, as shown in FIG. 5 (I) or the like. Further, the end timing is, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 (J) or the like, as a timing at which all the result images are displayed, that is, a timing at which the digestion game number image 92 and the acquired number image 94 are displayed. May be good.

(6) Further, the degree of expectation that the advantageous state will continue (recover) may be notified (suggested) by at least one display mode such as a predetermined image, for example, a background image, a result image, and a spark image. Good. For example, if at least one color of the background image, the result image, and the spark image is the first color, it is highly expected that the advantageous state will continue, and at least one color of the background image, the result image, and the spark image is the first color. If there are two colors, the degree of expectation that the advantageous state will continue may be low. With such a configuration, the player's attention can be drawn to at least one display mode of the background image, the result image, and the spark image.

(7) Further, in the present embodiment, the brightness of the door image 22 and the brightness of the background image 23 are the same (maintained) from the display of the door image 22 to the display of the background image 23. explained. However, the brightness of the background image 23 may be changed. In this case, the brightness of the background image 23 when the result image is displayed may be lower than the brightness of the background image 23 when the result image is not displayed. For example, the brightness of the background image 23 formed by closing the door image 22 may be lower than the brightness of the door image 22. According to such a configuration, various background images 23 can be displayed by changing the brightness of the background image 23, and the result image can be attracted attention.

(8) Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an image in which the door image 22 moves is displayed before the result image is displayed, and the door image 22 is displayed after the result image is displayed. It has been described that a non-moving image (that is, a background image 23) is displayed. That is, it has been described that the predetermined image (door image 22 in the present embodiment) operates before the result image is displayed, but the predetermined image does not operate after the result image is displayed. However, the predetermined image may be operated even after the result image is displayed. The predetermined image in this case may be, for example, a character image. In this case, it is preferable that the amount of movement of the predetermined image after the display of the result image is smaller than the amount of movement of the predetermined image before the display of the result image. For example, the moving speed of the predetermined image after displaying the result image may be slower than the moving speed of the predetermined image before displaying the result image. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the result image while performing various effects by moving the predetermined image after the result image is displayed.

(9) In the example of FIG. 2, it has been described that the trigger for the lighting mode of the lamp 63 to be the result display mode is when the door closing effect is disclosed (see FIG. 2 (F)). However, the trigger in which the lighting mode of the lamp 63 becomes the result display mode may be another trigger. The trigger for the lighting mode of the lamp 63 to be the result display mode is, for example, when the result image is displayed (FIGS. 3 (I), 5 (I), 6 (I), 7 (I)). Good. In the case of such a configuration, the lighting mode of the lamp 63 can be different from the result display mode during the period when the door closing effect is being executed. That is, since the lighting mode of the lamp 63 can be different depending on the period in which the door closing effect is executed and the period in which the result image is displayed, the lighting mode of the lamp 63 can be diversified. it can.

(10) In the example of FIG. 2, when the number of remaining games in the advantageous state (AT) reaches a predetermined number of games (3 games in the present embodiment), a battle effect is executed, and the battle effect is advantageous during the battle effect. It was explained that the number of remaining games in the state and the number of acquired games are not displayed. However, instead of executing such a battle effect, the effect in the advantageous state (for example, the navigation effect) may be continuously executed. Even in such a case, the number of remaining games in the advantageous state and the number of acquired games are not displayed from the time when the number of remaining games in the advantageous state reaches the predetermined number until the end of the advantageous state. Is preferable. Even with such a configuration, since the player is not made to recognize the number of remaining AT games and the number of acquired games in advance before the result image is displayed, the result image can be attracted attention.

(11) In the present embodiment, it has been described that the information notified by the display of the result image is the number of digested games and the number of acquired games in the AT. As described above, the information is described as information that can be expected by the player. However, the information may be information that the player cannot predict. For example, suppose that the advantageous state is a state in which a predetermined privilege is given with a predetermined probability. In this case, the information may be information that can specify whether or not the privilege has been granted and the amount of the privilege.

For example, when the advantageous state is the addition special zone in which the AT addition game is given with a predetermined probability, the information indicates whether or not the AT addition has been made, and if the AT addition has been made. It is assumed that the AT addition game is identifiable information.

In the case of such a configuration, information that the player cannot predict (for example, the number of additional games) is notified by displaying the result image, so that the result image can be attracted attention.

(12) In the present embodiment, it is described that a specific image in which a 5-digit numerical value fluctuates is displayed regardless of the value of the number of digested games in the AT displayed as the result image and the number of digits of each acquired number. (See FIGS. 7 and 8). However, it is also possible to display a specific image that varies by the number of digits of each of the number of digested games and the number of acquired games at AT.

For example, in the example of FIG. 7, since the number of digits of the number of digested games and the number of digits of the acquired number of ATs are each three digits, a specific image in which the three-digit numerical value fluctuates is displayed. Further, in the example of FIG. 8, since the number of digits of the number of digested games and the number of digits of the acquired number of ATs are each two digits, a specific image in which the two-digit numerical value fluctuates is displayed.

According to such a configuration, a specific image in which the same number of digits as the number of digested games in AT fluctuates is displayed, and a specific image in which the same number of digits as the number of acquired numbers fluctuates is displayed. Therefore, when the specific image is displayed, the player can be made to recognize the number of digits of the number of digested games in the AT and the number of digits of the acquired number of games.

Further, the number of digits according to the degree of expectation that the advantageous state will continue (recover) may be changed in a specific image. For example, if the number of digits that fluctuates in a specific image is large, the degree of expectation may be high. According to such a configuration, the player's attention can be attracted to the number of digits that fluctuates in a specific image.

(13) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 (I) and 3 (N), a spark image is exemplified as a special image displayed before the result image is displayed. However, the special image may be another image. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the special image may be an image in which the brightness of the result image is increased (for example, an image in which the result image is illuminated). In this case, in FIG. 3 (I), the shining result image is displayed, and in FIG. 3 (J), the clarified result image is displayed. Further, in the case of FIG. 6 (K), the shining digestion game number image 92 and the shining acquired number image 94 are displayed, and in the case of FIG. 6 (L), the clarified digestion game number image is displayed. 92 and the clarified acquired number image 94 will be displayed.

(14) In the present embodiment, it has been described that the specific image or the result image is displayed in an area larger than the first spark image area 24A (special image area) in which the first spark image 24 (special image) is displayed. .. However, the area of the area where the specific image or the result image is displayed may be the same as the area of the special image area where the special image is displayed. Further, the area of the area where the specific image or the result image is displayed may be smaller than the area of the special image area. That is, it is preferable that at least a part of the area where the specific image or the result image is displayed overlaps with at least a part of the special image area.

(15) In the present embodiment, as specific control, the number of digits of the digestion game number image 92 and the number of digits of the acquired number image 94 are described as being unrecognizable by the player (FIG. 3 (J)). ) Etc.). However, the specific control may be a control that makes it impossible for the player to recognize either the number of digits of the digested game number image 92 or the number of digits of the acquired number image 94. Further, the control for making it unrecognizable is not limited to the control for moving numbers, and may be, for example, a control for superimposing a predetermined image (for example, a character, a mosaic, etc.) on each digit. Further, the specific control may be a control that makes it difficult for the player to recognize at least one of the number of digits of the digested game number image 92 and the number of digits of the acquired number image 94.

Here, the control that is difficult for the player to recognize is, for example, a control that displays a numerical value displayed in the result image in a small size at the stage of the specific image. By displaying such a small image, the player cannot recognize the numerical value displayed in the result image and the number of digits of the numerical value when the specific image is viewed normally (when viewed at the first distance). However, when the player views the specific image at a short distance (a distance shorter than the first distance), the numerical value displayed in the result image and the number of digits of the numerical value can be recognized.

In this way, when at least one of the number of digits of the digested game number image 92 and the number of digits of the acquired number image 94 is controlled to be difficult for the player to recognize, "at the stage of displaying a specific image". Whether the player recognizes "at least one of the number of digits of the digested game number image 92 and the number of digits of the acquired number image 94" at the stage of displaying the specific image, or when the result image is displayed, the player The player can be made to choose whether to recognize.

(16) Further, when the spark image is displayed, the lighting mode of the lamp 63 may be the spark mode. As a result, it is possible to emphasize to the player that the spark image is displayed, so that the player's attention can be drawn to the spark image.

(17) Further, the first-digit stop SE, the second-digit stop SE, and the third-digit stop SE shown in FIGS. 3 (K) to 3 (M) will be described as being output in the same manner. did. However, at least two of the first-digit stop SE, the second-digit stop SE, and the third-digit stop SE may be output in different modes. For example, when the output mode is different for each of the 1st digit stop SE, the 2nd digit stop SE, and the 3rd digit stop SE, the 1st digit stop SE, the 2nd digit stop SE, and the 3rd digit stop SE are used. The pitch of the may be gradually increased. According to such a configuration, it is possible to stop one digit at a time in a specific image at a good tempo from the viewpoint of pitch.

(18) In the present embodiment, the predetermined effect (door closing effect) executed from the time when the AT ends to the time when the result display is executed is an effect of displaying an image in which the predetermined image (door image 22) moves. It was explained as. However, the predetermined effect may be another effect. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed when the AT ends, and a result image may be displayed when the predetermined image changes or changes. For example, in FIG. 2F, a bomb image is displayed as a predetermined image, and an explosion image in which the bomb image explodes is displayed. Then, the result image may be displayed together with the display of the explosion image.

Further, in the predetermined effect, when the AT is completed, the predetermined image may be displayed in the first aspect, and when the result image is displayed, the predetermined image may be displayed in the second aspect. For example, when the predetermined image is a mountain image, the first aspect displays the mountain image by "pulling" (that is, all the mountain images are displayed), and the second aspect displays the mountain image. Show the top as "close" (that is, show the top of the mountain). In addition, the top of the mountain image is displayed, and the result image is displayed by superimposing it on the top of the mountain image. Further, when the character of the predetermined image is used, the first aspect may be a specific color having a high brightness and the second aspect may be a predetermined color having a low brightness without changing the character. Even if these effects are executed, the same effect as that of the present embodiment is obtained.

(19) Further, the first background image from the end of AT until the result image is displayed and the second background image when the result image is displayed may be the same or different. You may be. When both background images are the same, the defeat image (friendly character and enemy character) is switched to the result image while the first background image of the defeat image is maintained (the display of the defeat image ends, and the display of the defeat image ends. The result image is displayed). With such a configuration, the background image does not change, so that the result image can be attracted attention.

When both background images are different, the displayed first background image may be changed to a second background image and a result image superimposed on the second background image. According to such a configuration, various background images can be displayed, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(20) In the present embodiment, in each situation (each timing) of FIGS. 2 to 8, it is assumed that a different SE may be output as an SE output from the speaker 53 or the same SE may be output. explained. However, all SEs may be different in each situation and at least two of all SEs may be the same. Further, in each situation (each timing) of FIGS. 2 to 8, the lighting mode of the lamp 63 is described as being a different lighting mode and a case where the lamp 63 is the same lighting mode. However, all lighting bodies may be different in each situation, and at least two of all lighting modes may be the same.

(21) Further, when the “lever-on operation for starting the next game of the AT final game” shown in FIG. 2 (F) is executed, a predetermined lamp (for example, a backlight lamp) among the lamps 63 is executed. May be turned on in a specific manner. In this case, it is preferable that the effect of turning on the lamp in the specific mode is completed by the time the result image is displayed. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player's attention to the display of the result image from being hindered.

It should be considered that the embodiments disclosed this time are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown by the scope of claims rather than the above description, and it is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.
