There is a pachinko gaming machine or the like in which a plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed when a game medium wins a prize in a starting area such as a winning opening provided in the game area.

In this type of gaming machine, the operation sound of the start lever and the operation sound of the stop button are output, and when the gaming state is advantageous to the player, they are output in different modes (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-131965

In addition to the operation sound, the gaming machine may be controlled to output the sound of the advance notice effect.
When executing different controls such as outputting the operation sound in different modes, it is difficult for the player to recognize that the different controls are being executed if the control for outputting the sound is executed in the advance notice effect.

An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which a player can easily recognize that different controls are being executed.

(A) A gaming machine capable of playing games
A specific sound control means that executes control related to the output of a specific sound based on the operation of the player, and
Based on the player's operation, with a sound different from the specific sound from the specific timing is output in parallel with the specific sound, a production which is performed also continued after the output end of the specific sound, game A special production means that can perform a special production that suggests that a person will have an advantage,
With
The sound that is different from the specific sound is louder than the specific sound,
There are multiple types of special effects,
The special effect means executes the special effect for a plurality of types of the special effect so that the ratio of the player's advantage is different.
The specific sound control means is
Usually a control to start output of the specific sound from the specific timing based on the player's operation, and from the specific timing based on the operation of the player can perform special control and which does not output the specific sound ,
Than when the special control is high percentage of the player is more advantageous than when the normal control is executed if it is executed, and a predetermined of said special effect of the multiple types of the special effect has been executed even player being capable of performing the special control such ratio is high be advantageous,
The special effect unit is capable of executing the special effect on condition that by the specific sound control means is a case where the special control is not executed.
(1) A gaming machine capable of playing a game (for example, a slot machine 1, a pachinko gaming machine).
Specific sound control means (for example, sub-control unit 91, etc.) that executes control related to the output of specific sound, and
Special effect means (for example, sub) capable of executing a special effect (for example, special effect A, B, C, etc.) in which a sound different from the specific sound is output during a period in which the specific sound can be output by the specific sound control means. Control unit 91 etc.) and
With
The specific sound control means can execute normal control (for example, control for executing specific sound effect) and special control different from the normal control (for example, control for executing non-specific sound effect). ,
When the special control is executed by the specific sound control means, the execution of the special effect by the special effect means is restricted (for example, the execution probability of the special effect is set to 0%, 10%, or 20%, etc.). ) A gaming machine characterized by that.

With such a configuration, the player can easily recognize that different controls are being executed.

The control related to the output of the specific sound includes various controls such as a control for determining whether or not to output the specific sound and a control for not outputting the specific sound.

The period during which the specific sound can be output is the period starting from a predetermined opportunity. For example, in the present embodiment, the period starts from the time when the start switch 7 is operated. As other examples, a period starting from the time when the stop button is operated, a period starting from the time when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, a period starting from the time when the effect switch 56 is operated, and a lower panel which is not shown in the present embodiment. , The period that starts from the time when the touch panel, the lever, or the like is operated, or the period that starts from the time when something that can be operated by the player is operated. In addition, not limited to the operation of the player, for example, in a pachinko game machine, from the time when some event occurs in the control of the game machine that does not depend on the operation of the player, such as the period starting from the time of tempai (when the reach occurs) of the decorative pattern. It may be the period to be started.

Regarding the non-specific sound effect and the special effect by the special control, in the present embodiment, FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b).
As shown in the table of), it is easy to perform any of the effects as it is advantageous to the player, but even in a general gaming machine, multiple effects are often performed in parallel so as to be advantageous to the player. .. When a plurality of effects are performed in parallel, the existence of each effect is diluted, and the effect of each effect may be weakened as compared with the case where the effects are performed independently. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the player can easily recognize that different controls are executed by limiting the execution of the special effect in a state where both the non-specific sound effect and the special effect are easily executed. Not only is it possible, but the effect of non-specific sound production can be fully exerted, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

In the present embodiment, when the execution of the special effect is restricted, the execution probability is uniformly set to 0%, 10%, or 20% regardless of the type of the special effect, but the execution probability is changed depending on the type of the special effect. You may. For example, the execution probability of a special effect that is compatible with the non-specific sound effect may be increased. As a special production that is compatible with the sound, for example, a quiet production can be mentioned. In this case, by executing the non-specific sound effect together with the special effect, the synergistic effect of the two effects can be obtained, and the interest can be further improved. In this way, the execution probability may be flexibly determined according to the mode of the special effect.

In the present embodiment, the non-specific sound effect is delayed, silence, special sound, or other sound-only effect, but other effects may be added. As such an effect, for example, with sound
An effect that encourages the operation of the effect button can be mentioned.

In the present embodiment, when it is decided not to execute the special effect, the special effect is not executed at all, but the special effect may be executed so as not to interfere with the non-specific sound effect. For example, when the non-specific sound effect is a delayed effect, the special effect may be executed after the delayed effect is completed. That is, the execution period of the special effect may be limited. This is because the player can easily recognize that different controls are being executed even if the special effect is executed in such an manner.

As described above, there are two types of "restriction of execution of special effect", one that limits the execution itself by the execution probability and the other that limits the execution period.

(2) The gaming machine of (1) above.
The special control suggests that the player has an advantage (eg, BB, RB, or A).
It is a control (which is likely to have won the RT).

According to such a configuration, the player can pay attention to the special control and improve the interest.

(3) The gaming machine according to (1) or (2) above.
The period during which the specific sound can be output by the specific sound control means is a predetermined period started from the operation of the player (for example, the operation of the start switch 7).

According to such a configuration, the player can pay attention to the predetermined period starting from the operation of the player and improve the interest.

As described in the present embodiment, an effect having a mode different from the usual one is sometimes referred to as an uncomfortable effect, but the uncomfortable effect is triggered by the operation of the player and the operation of the player. There is something that does not. As an example of the latter, where the performance usually ends with one phrase, 2
There is a production that rushes into the phrase. In contrast to those that are not triggered by the player's operation, those that are triggered by the player's operation are easier for the player to recognize. This is because the player remembers the event that occurs when the operation is performed and the timing of the event. Therefore,
Since the effect of the discomfort effect is higher when the player's operation is triggered, the player's interest can be improved.

(4) The gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (3) above.
The special effect is an effect that starts from a predetermined trigger (for example, as shown in FIG. 5, it starts from the trigger when the start switch 7 is operated).

According to such a configuration, the player can pay attention to a predetermined opportunity and improve the interest.

(5) The gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (4) above.
The volume of the sound output by the special effect is louder than the volume of the specific sound.

With such a configuration, the player can more recognize that the special control is being executed.

The volume of the sound output by the special effect may be always louder than the volume of the specific sound, or may be louder at least during the period when the specific sound is being output.

(6) A gaming machine (slot machine 1, pachinko gaming machine) that plays games.
The production operation means used for the operation for production (for example, the production switch 56 of the slot machine 1, the production button of the pachinko game machine), and
The game progress operation means (for example, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R of the slot machine 1, the ball striking operation handle of the pachinko game machine) used for the operation for advancing the game, and
A first promotion effect that encourages the operation of the effect operation means (for example, as shown in the liquid crystal display 51 at times t5 to t6 in FIG. 10, an effect that encourages the operation of the effect switch 56, an operation of an effect button on a pachinko gaming machine. (For example, a process in which the sub-control unit 91 executes the first promotion effect)
A second promotion effect that encourages the operation of the game progress operation means (for example, times t2 to t3 in FIG. 10).
As shown in the liquid crystal displays 51 of t4 to t5, a second promoting means (for example, an effect of navigating the correct answer procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, an effect of instructing a right-handed hit in a pachinko gaming machine) is executed (for example, a sub-control). The process in which the second promotion effect is executed by the unit 91),
Sound output means for outputting sound (for example, BGM, first promotion sound and second promotion sound shown in FIG. 8) (for example, a process in which the sub-control unit 91 causes speakers 53 and 54 to output BGM and the like).
With
When the effect operating means is operated during the execution of the first promotion effect, a notification regarding the privilege (for example, the addition of the number of additional games) is performed (for example, the liquid crystal display 51 at times t5 to t6 in FIG. 10). As shown in the above, when the display "PUSH!" Prompting the operation of the production switch 56 and the voice output "Press this button !!" are output, when the production switch 56 is operated, the number of additional games is given. "WIN!" Is displayed on the screen),
When the first promotion effect is being executed while the predetermined sound (for example, BGM) is being output, the sound output means reduces the volume of the predetermined sound (for example, as shown at times t5 to t6 in FIG. 10). (In addition, the volume of the BGM is reduced when the first promotion effect is being executed), while the volume of the predetermined sound is maintained when the second promotion effect is being executed during the output of the predetermined sound. (For example, as shown at times t2 to t3 and t4 to t5 in FIG. 10, the volume of the BGM may be maintained when the second promotion effect is being executed).

According to such a configuration, during the output of the predetermined sound, the volume of the predetermined sound is reduced when the first promotion effect for which the operation of the effect operation means is prompted when the notification regarding the privilege is performed is executed. .. Therefore, the player can concentrate on the operation of the effect operation means.

The sub CPU 91a receives a command transmitted from the game control board 40 to perform various controls for performing the effect, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. ..

Like the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. , Executes command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 9
1 is every time the number of system clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, at a fixed time interval (about 2 m).
s) Generates an interrupt every time and executes the timer interrupt process (sub). Further, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process when an interrupt occurs based on the reception of a command, even if the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed. The command reception interrupt process is executed in, and even if the interrupt that triggers the timer interrupt process (sub) occurs at the same time, the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority. Further, the backup power supply is also supplied to the sub control unit 91 at the time of a power failure, and the RAM is supplied while the backup power supply is supplied.
The data stored in 91c is retained.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value.
The medal payout rate is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the lottery that affects the advantage to the player such as the internal lottery. The set value is composed of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is.

In this embodiment, the winning lines that are activated when all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped (in the case of this embodiment, all winning lines are always activated, so that they are enabled in the following. A prize is won when a combination of symbols called roles is aligned on the winning line (the winning line is simply called the winning line). The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

The types of winning roles are determined according to the game status, but they can be broadly divided into small winning roles that involve payout of medals and re-starting the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There is a gaming role and a special role that involves a transition to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. In the following, the small role and the replaying role will be collectively referred to as the general role. In order for each winning combination determined according to the game state to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c. Of the winning flags for each of these winning combinations, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the replaying combination are valid only in the game in which the flags are set, and are invalid in the next game, but the winning flags for the special winning combination are , It is valid until the combinations of the allowed combinations are complete by the flag, and is invalid in the game in which the combinations of the allowed combinations are complete. That is, once the winning flag of the special role is won, even if the combination of the winning combination permitted by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

Hereinafter, the internal lottery of this embodiment will be described. The internal lottery is performed before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7) whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the winning of each of the above-mentioned combinations. Is determined at the time of detection). In the internal lottery, first, a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) for the internal lottery is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set in the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. Then, for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state, according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work and the number of determination values of each winning combination determined according to the current gaming state, the number of bets, and the set value. It is determined whether or not to allow the prize.

In the internal lottery, the number of judgment values determined according to the winning combination, the current game state, and the set value to be the target of the internal lottery is sequentially added to the random number value for the internal lottery (numerical data stored in the lottery work). When the addition is performed and the result of the addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. Therefore, the winning combination is won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the magnitude of the number of determination values.

Then, the winning number indicating the result of the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. The winning number is used for setting an internal winning flag, navigating notification, command creation, stopping control of reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and the like.

When the winning of any of the winning combinations is determined, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination determined based on the winning number is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work is composed of a 2-byte storage area, in which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storage work in which the winning flag of the special combination is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general combination. It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when the special role is won, the winning flag of the special role indicating that the special role is won is set in the special role storage work, and when the general role is won, the general role is won. A general role winning flag indicating that effect is set in the general role storage work. If neither combination nor combination of roles is won, the special combination storage work and the general combination storage work are cleared.

Next, a command transmitted by the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 will be described. In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91. Of the various commands, some commands will be described below. A command other than the following commands may be used.

The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the game, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game.

The ART status command is a command that can specify whether or not AT is in progress, whether or not it is in ART, the number of games remaining until the specified number of games is reached, the number of games remaining in the precursory period, and the number of games remaining in ART. Is started and is sent after the game state command.

The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and the start switch 7
Is operated and the game is started, and is transmitted after the ART status command. The internal winning command includes a first internal winning command that can specify whether or not a special winning combination has been won, and a second internal winning command that can specify whether or not a general winning combination has been won. After the first internal winning command is transmitted, the second internal winning command is transmitted.

The push order command is a command that can specify the stop order, and is when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, after the internal winning command is transmitted, and the stop accompanying the stop operation of each reel. Each time control is performed, it is sent after the stop command is sent.
In addition, in the game in which the navigation notification described later is executed, a push order command capable of specifying the stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted from the start of the game, and in the game in which the navigation notification is not executed, the advantageous stop order is transmitted. A push order command that cannot specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player is transmitted until the stop order is confirmed, and a push order command that can specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player is transmitted from the time when the advantageous stop order is determined.

The game status command, ART status command, and internal winning command are transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts. Therefore, by receiving these commands,
It is possible to identify that the game has started by operating the start switch 7.

The ART lottery result command is a command that can specify whether or not the ART lottery or the additional lottery has been won, the number of games of the winning ART or the number of games to be added, and when the game starts, the ART lottery or the additional lottery It is transmitted after the internal winning command is transmitted in the game in which the additional lottery is performed.

The stop operation command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel.
It is transmitted each time the stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel is performed.

The stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, or the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel, and is a stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel. Is sent after the corresponding slip frame count command is sent each time.

The stop operation command and the stop command can all specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and stop control is performed according to the stop operation of each reel. Since it is transmitted every time, by receiving these commands, it is possible to specify that one of the reels has been stopped and the reel to be stopped.

The game end command is a command that can specify that the game has ended, and the player can use the third command.
It is transmitted when the stop switch is pressed to stop the stop reel and the stop switch is released.

The winning judgment command is a command that can specify whether or not there is a winning, the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, so that the player stops the third stop reel. It is when the stop switch is pressed and the stop switch is released, and is transmitted after the game end command is transmitted.

Both the game end command and the winning judgment command are transmitted when the player presses the stop switch to stop the third stop reel and releases the stop switch. Therefore, by receiving these commands, It is possible to identify that all the operations necessary for advancing one game have been completed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 has a notification period during which navigation notification can be executed, in which the main control unit 41 notifies the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the result of the internal lottery according to the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT).

When the main control unit 41 is controlled by the AT, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination according to the game state, and the player is based on the winning number of the winning navigation notification combination. By notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the sub-control unit 91 and transmitting a push order command that can specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player based on the winning number to the sub-control unit 91, the liquid crystal display 51 and the like. The navigation effect using is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute the navigation notification and execute the navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in the normal state where the AT does not control the control.

The gaming states in this embodiment include RT0 to 4, RB, and BB (RB). RT0 ~
4. Of RB and BB (RB), RB and BB have the highest medal payout rate per game and are the most advantageous gaming states. Further, among RTs 0 to 4, RTs 0, 2 and 4 have a higher probability of winning the replaying combination, and the medal payout rate per game is higher than that of RTs 1 and 3, which is higher than that of RTs 1 and 3. It can be said that it is an advantageous state for the player. Also, RT0
Of 2, and 4, RT0 and 2 can be said to be more advantageous to the player than RT4 in that the payout rate of medals per game is higher than that of RT4. Further, it can be said that RT2 is more advantageous to the player than RT0 in that the number of ART games described later is likely to be added.

Further, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT 0 to 2, the main control unit 41 can execute the navigation notification that notifies the player in the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result. It is possible to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT), which is the notification period.

When the main control unit 41 is controlled by the AT, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by winning the notification target combination according to the game state, and the sub control unit 91 receives the first internal winning command. , The second internal winning command, the push order command is transmitted, and the sub control unit 9
The navigation effect by 1 is executed.

In the navigation effect of this embodiment, the stop order advantageous to the player notified by the navigation notification is notified by the display of the navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and the output of the navigation voice from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when notifying the stop order of the left middle right, a stop switch 8L such as "123" (indicating that the left reel is the first stop, the middle reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop). A stop order image showing the stop order of 8C and 8R is displayed. Further, as the navigation voice, for example, a voice indicating the stop order of the stop switch such as "left middle right!" (Indicating that the left reel is the first stop, the middle reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop). Is output. again,
When notifying the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, the stop order indicating the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R such as "1--" (indicating that the left reel is the first stop) Display the image. Further, as the navigation voice, for example, a voice indicating the stop order of the stop switch such as "left!" (Indicating that the left reel is the first stop) (indicating that the left reel is the first stop) is output. do. The mode of the navigation effect is not limited to such a mode, and may be any mode as long as the player can distinguish it according to the winning situation. Further, the navigation effect is not limited to the one using the liquid crystal display 51 and the speakers 53, 54, and the effect effect LED 52.
, The reel LED 55 or the like may be used for execution.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs ART (A at RT0) when the lottery condition is satisfied.
An ART lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control the condition (controlled by T). Then, the main control unit 41 wins the ART lottery and controls the ART when the precursory period ends.

When controlling to ART, first control to AT. The state from the start of AT control to the transition to RT0 is also called the preparation state. In the ready state, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification when the target combination is won.

In addition, after the start of ART, the number of remaining games is deducted by 1 each time one game is exhausted, and
When the number of remaining games becomes 0, the AT control is terminated. Along with this, the navigation notification is not executed.

Also, if the lottery conditions are met after the start of ART and before the number of remaining games becomes 0, ART
An additional lottery will be held to determine whether or not to add the number of games. Then, when the additional lottery is won, the ART game number lottery for determining the number of ART games is performed, and the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is added to the remaining number of ART games.

Also, if the lottery conditions are met after the start of ART and before the number of remaining games becomes 0, AR
An additional state lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to an additional state in which the probability that the number of ART games will be added is higher than during T.

In addition, if a special role is won after the start of ART and before the number of remaining games becomes 0, RT2
ART is interrupted by the end of, and the counting of the number of games of ART is also interrupted accordingly. When a special role is won during ART, the navigation notification is not sent even if the push order bell is won until the special role is won.

If a special role is won during ART and ART is interrupted, then the winning special role is won and the corresponding bonus is controlled, and the transition roll is stopped at RT3, which shifts after the bonus ends, and RT1 At the time of shifting to, the control of the AT is restarted, and along with this, the ART is restarted by shifting to RT0 again after the preparation state, and the counting of the number of remaining games of the ART is also restarted.

Further, RT2 is more advantageous to the player than RT0 in that the number of ART games is likely to be added, that is, it is advantageous to the player in that a privilege advantageous to the player is likely to be given. However, for example, the configuration may be advantageous for the player in that the probability of winning a specific combination is high, the probability of winning a specific combination is high, and the payout rate of medals is high.

Here, the advantageous privilege for the player is the right to be able to shift to the advantageous state for the player (winning the lottery to determine whether or not the advantageous state occurs, shifting to the advantageous state). The right to be notified of the operation mode that is advantageous to the player, the right to be controlled to a game state with a high expected value to which the game value is given, the current game state is advantageous to the player. The right to be notified of whether or not the game is in a good state, the period controlled to the advantageous state (
It may be a privilege that is directly advantageous to the player, such as a fixed number of games, an average value of the number of games that fluctuates depending on the end condition, etc., and is not directly advantageous to the player, but for example,
It may be an indirectly advantageous privilege for the player, such as a condition for obtaining the privilege on the Internet.

The sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment executes control related to the output of the specific sound. Further, the sub control unit 91 can execute the normal control and the special control different from the normal control as the specific sound control. The normal control is a control that outputs a specific sound when the start switch 7 is operated.

There are three types of special control: silence control, delay control, and special sound control. Of these, silence control is control that does not output a specific sound. The delay control is a control that outputs a specific sound at a timing later than the timing at which the specific sound is output in the normal control. The special sound control is a control that outputs a special sound different from the specific sound. In addition, the special control is a control that suggests that the player has an advantage. It should be noted that the production by these three types of control is also called "uncomfortable production" because the production is different from the usual specific sound.

In addition to the specific sound control described above, the sub-control unit 91 sets the sub-control unit 91 during a period in which the specific sound can be output.
It is possible to execute a special effect in which a sound different from a specific sound is output. The special effect is an effect that starts when the start switch 7 is operated and ends at the third stop. Further, the sound output by the special effect in the present embodiment is louder than the volume of the specific sound.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing modes of the effect by the specific sound control and the special effect. Each of the graphs shown in FIG. 5 shows the passage of a predetermined period from the time when the start switch 7 is operated. FIG. 5A shows a mode in which the effect by the normal control and the special effect are started at the same time. As described above, in the normal control, since the specific sound is output when the start switch 7 is operated, the specific sound and the sound of the special effect are output at the same time. Since the sound output by the special effect is louder than the volume of the specific sound, the specific sound is erased by the sound of the special effect, and the specific sound is difficult for the player to recognize. This is not limited to specific sounds
The same applies to specific sounds and special sounds in delayed production. As described above, since it is difficult to recognize that the specific sound is output, even if the specific sound is output, the mode is substantially like a silent effect. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the silent effect.

As described above, the special control is a control that suggests that the player has an advantage, and one of the purposes thereof is to improve the interest of the player. Nevertheless, if it becomes difficult for the player to recognize it, the production by the special control becomes meaningless, and as a result, the purpose of improving the player's interest cannot be fulfilled.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5B to 5D, when the special control is executed, the execution of the special effect is restricted. The special effects are shown by the dashed lines because the execution of the special effects is restricted. FIG. 5B shows an aspect of the delay effect. The delay effect is an effect by special control that outputs a specific sound after the operation timing in response to the trigger when the start switch 7 is operated. By limiting the execution of the special effect, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the delayed effect has been performed, as compared with the case where the execution of the special effect is not restricted.

FIG. 5C shows a mode of silent production. The silent effect is an effect by special control that does not output a specific sound in response to the trigger when the start switch 7 is operated. By restricting the execution of the special effect, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the silent effect has been performed, as compared with the case where the execution of the special effect is not restricted. FIG. 5D shows a mode of special sound production. The special sound effect is an effect by special control that outputs a special sound different from the specific sound in response to the trigger when the start switch 7 is operated. By restricting the execution of the special effect, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the special sound effect has been performed, as compared with the case where the execution of the special effect is not restricted.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the special control is executed, the player can easily recognize that the special control has been performed by limiting the execution of the special effect. It is possible to improve the interest of the player. Further, since the special effect is an effect that is started from the moment when the start switch 7 is operated, the player can pay attention to the moment when the start switch 7 is operated and improve the interest. Further, since the volume of the sound output by the special effect in the present embodiment is higher than the volume of the specific sound, the player can more recognize that the special control is executed.

Hereinafter, specific control contents that limit the execution of the special effect when the special control is executed will be described.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing various tables. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a start switch-on sound table for selecting one of a specific sound effect, a special sound effect, a delay effect, and a silent effect in response to the trigger when the start switch 7 is operated. Is. As described above, since the special control is a control that suggests that the player has an advantage, which effect is selected depends on the winning combination. The winning combination is notified to the sub control unit 91 when the start switch 7 is operated by the above-mentioned internal winning command. In the following explanation, special sound production,
Delayed effects and silent effects may be collectively referred to as non-specific sound effects.

As shown in the start switch-on sound table, the more advantageous the player is, the easier it is for the non-specific sound effect to be executed. Therefore, the special control for executing the non-specific sound effect is a control that suggests that the player has an advantage. In the start switch-on sound table, the ratio of selecting a specific sound effect when the BB is won is 10%, and the ratio of selecting a special sound effect is 20.
%, The rate at which delayed effects are selected is 20%, and the rate at which silent effects are selected is 50.
%. When the RB is won, the ratio of selecting the specific sound effect is 10%, the ratio of selecting the special sound effect is 20%, the ratio of selecting the delayed effect is 50%, and the silent effect is selected. The ratio is 20%. When the ART is won, the ratio of selecting the specific sound effect is 10%, the ratio of selecting the special sound effect is 50%, the ratio of selecting the delayed effect is 20%, and the silent effect is selected. The ratio is 20%.

The ratio of selecting the specific sound effect at the time of winning the cherry is 55%, and the ratio of selecting the non-specific sound effect is 15%, respectively. 70% of the specific sound effects are selected when the watermelon is won
The percentage of non-specific sound effects selected is 10%, respectively. In the case of other cases (missing when the bell or replay is won), the ratio of selecting the specific sound effect is 97%, and the ratio of selecting the non-specific sound effect is 1%, respectively.

FIG. 6B is for selecting one of “no effect”, special effect A, special effect B, and special effect C, in which the special effect is not executed, in response to the trigger when the start switch 7 is operated. It is a figure which shows the start switch-on effect table. The special effects A, B, and C indicate the types of special effects, the special effect A is easy to be selected when the ART is won, the special effect B is easy to be selected when the RB is won, and the special effect C is easy to be selected when the BB is won. ..

In the start switch-on effect table, the ratio of "no effect" selected when BB is won is 0%, the rate of selecting special effect A is 30%, and the rate of selecting special effect B is 20%. Therefore, the ratio of selecting the special effect C is 50%. At the time of winning the RB, the ratio of selecting "no production" is 0%, and the ratio of selecting special production A is 20%.
The ratio of selecting the special effect B is 50%, and the ratio of selecting the special effect C is 30%. When the ART is won, the ratio of selecting "no effect" is 0%, the ratio of selecting special effect A is 50%, the ratio of selecting special effect B is 30%, and the ratio of special effect C is The percentage selected is 20%.

The percentage of "no effect" selected when the cherry is won is 25%, and the ratio of three types of special effects selected is 25%. When the watermelon is won, the percentage of selecting "no effect" is 55%, and the rate of selecting each of the three types of special effects is 15%. In the case of other (bell or replay winning, lost), the ratio of "no production" selected is 97
The percentage of each of the three types of special effects selected is 1%.

FIG. 6C is a restriction table for selecting the ratio of executing the special effect when the non-specific sound effect is executed. RT0 to RT4 indicate the above-mentioned gaming state. In the present embodiment, the ratio of executing the special effect differs depending on the gaming state. When the game state is RT3, the ratio of executing the special effect is 0%. That is, when the game state is RT3 and the non-specific sound effect is executed, the special effect is not executed at all. When the game state is RT1, the ratio of executing the special effect is 10%. That is, when the gaming state is RT1 and the non-specific sound effect is executed, the special effect is executed at a rate of 10%. The game status is RT4, RT2, R
In the case of T0, the rate at which the special effect is executed is 20%. That is, the game state is RT4
, RT2, RT0, when the non-specific sound effect is executed, the special effect is executed at a rate of 20%.

As described above, since RT0, 2 and 4 are in a more advantageous state for the player than RT1 and 3, the probability of executing only the non-specific sound effect in RT1 and 3 where the player is likely to get tired of the state. By increasing the number of sounds, we are trying to improve the interest by producing non-specific sounds.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the control contents when the start switch 7 is operated. This flowchart is executed when the internal winning command is received. Therefore, the winning combination is known. In the flowchart of FIG. 7, the start switch-on sound table is expressed as a sound table, and the start switch-on effect table is expressed as an effect table.

The sub-control unit 91 draws a lottery on the sound table and selects one of a specific sound effect, a special sound effect, a delay effect, and a silent effect (Sr1). The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the specific sound effect is selected (Sr2). When the specific sound effect is not selected (Sr2: NO),
That is, when the non-specific sound effect is selected, the sub-control unit 91 draws a lottery on the restriction table and selects whether or not to execute the special effect (Sr3). The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the special effect execution is selected (Sr4).

When the special effect execution is selected (Sr4: YES), the sub-control unit 91 draws a lottery at the effect table and selects one of "no effect", special effect A, special effect B, and special effect C. Select (Sr5). The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not "no effect" is selected (Sr6). When "no effect" is not selected (Sr6: NO), that is, when any of the special effect A, the special effect B, and the special effect C is selected, the sub control unit 91 sets the sub control unit 91.
The non-specific sound effect and the selected special effect are executed (Sr7), and this process is terminated. On the other hand, when "no effect" is selected (Sr6: YES), or when the special effect execution is not selected in Sr4 (Sr4: NO), the sub-control unit 91 has only the non-specific sound effect. Is executed (Sr8) to end this process.

When the specific sound effect is selected in Sr2 (Sr2: YES), the sub-control unit 91 draws a lottery at the effect table, and "no effect", special effect A, special effect B, and special effect C.
(Sr9). The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not "no effect" is selected (Sr10). When "no effect" is not selected (Sr10: NO), that is, when any of the special effect A, the special effect B, and the special effect C is selected, the sub control unit 91 produces the specific sound effect. And the selected special effect are executed (Sr11), and this process is terminated. On the other hand, when "no effect" is selected (Sr10: YES), the sub control unit 91
Executes only the specific sound effect (Sr12), and ends this process.

According to the process described above, the following four patterns are executed.
A: Perform non-specific sound production and special production (Sr7)
B: Only non-specific sound production is executed (Sr8)
C: Execute specific sound production and special production (Sr11)
D: Execute only specific sound production (Sr12)
In the present embodiment, by providing the pattern B which does not exist in the prior art, the player can easily recognize that different control is executed as compared with the prior art.
When the non-specific sound effect is executed and the special effect is not always executed, the execution ratio of the restriction table is set to 0%, or the processing of Sr3 to Sr7 is not executed and the result is denied by Sr2. If it is determined, Sr8 may be executed immediately and the process may be terminated as it is.

Next, an example of application to a pachinko gaming machine will be described. In this application example, the specific sound is the voice "reach", the special effect is the music when the reach occurs (reach music), and the period during which the specific sound can be output is the predetermined period starting from the tempai of the decorative pattern. do. The configuration in this application example is as follows.

Specific sound control means (sub-board of pachinko machine) that executes control related to specific sound (“reach”) output, and
During the period when the specific sound can be output by the specific sound control means (for example, a predetermined period starting from the tempai of the decorative pattern), it is possible to execute a special effect in which a sound different from the specific sound (reach music) is output. Special production means (sub-board of pachinko game machine),
With
The specific sound control means has a "reach" that outputs "reach" after a delay from the normal control (control that outputs "reach" at the time of tempai of the decorative symbol) and special control (control that outputs "reach" after the tempai of the decorative symbol) that is different from the normal control. It is possible to execute a sound different from "reach" (for example, "lucky" etc.) without outputting "".
When the special control is executed by the specific sound control means, the execution of the special effect by the special effect means is restricted (for example, the execution probability of the special effect is set to 0%, 10%, or 20).
A gaming machine characterized by (%, etc.).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to provide a pachinko gaming machine in which the player can easily recognize that different controls are being executed.

[Promotion production]
The effect executed by the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment includes a promotion effect that encourages the player to operate the operating means. The promotion effect includes a first promotion effect and a second promotion effect.

The first promotion effect is an effect that encourages the operation of the effect switch 56 used for the operation for the effect. The sub-control unit 91 executes the first promotion effect in the game after the game in which the additional lottery is executed. The first promotion effect is executed when the cherry or watermelon that triggers the execution is won. The operation of the effect switch 56 is prompted by the image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the first promotion sound output from the speakers 53 and 54. When the effect switch 56 is operated, notification regarding ART (for example, "WIN!" Notifying that the additional lottery has been won is displayed on the screen) is performed. When executing the first promotion effect, the sub control unit 91 adjusts the volume so that the volume of the predetermined sound that is generally flowing during the game is reduced. Here, examples of the predetermined sound include BGM (for example, music A to E output in a specific effect) that matches the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, but other than that, the sound is executed when the effect is executed. It includes music that is selected according to the production, and sounds that are emitted by characters that appear on the screen.

There are a plurality of types of first promotion effects in the first promotion effect, and the promotion sound, the color of the promotion display, and the degree of expectation of winning the additional lottery differ depending on the type of the first promotion effect. Information on the first promotion production is
It is stored in the first promotion effect table. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the first promotion effect table. The first promotion effect table is stored in the RAM 41c.

As shown in FIG. 8, the first promotion effect includes a first promotion effect A, a first promotion effect B, a first promotion effect C, and a first promotion effect D. These first promotion effects are selected by lottery. Each of the first promotion effects outputs different promotion sounds, displays the promotion in different colors, and has different expectations for winning the additional lottery.

In the first promotion effect A, the image "PUSH!" On the screen is "blue" as the color of the promotion display.
Is displayed, and the voice is output as if the character displayed on the screen is uttering "press this button". When the first promotion effect A is selected, 20
There is a% chance that you will win the extra lottery.

In the first promotion effect B, the image "PUSH!" On the screen is "green" as the color of the promotion display.
Is displayed, and the voice is output as if the character displayed on the screen is uttering "Press this button !!". When the first promotion effect B is selected, 40
There is a% chance that you will win the extra lottery.

In the first promotion effect C, the image "PUSH!" On the screen is "red" as the color of the promotion display.
Is displayed, and the voice is output as if the character displayed on the screen is uttering "Press and hold this button !!". When the first promotion effect C is selected, 6
There is a 0% chance that you will win the extra lottery.

In the first promotion effect D, the image "PUSH!" On the screen is "rainbow color" as the color of the promotion display.
Is displayed, and the voice is output as if the character displayed on the screen is uttering "Press this button repeatedly !!". When the first promotion effect D is selected, 80
There is a% chance that you will win the extra lottery.

In this way, the first promotion sounds corresponding to the first promotion effects A to D are output, and the first promotion effects A to D having different expectations for winning the additional lottery are executed according to the first promotion sound. , The player can be made to pay attention to which first promotion sound is output.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, since the first promotion effects A to D having different expectations for winning the additional lottery are executed according to the color of the promotion display of blue to rainbow, which first promotion effect is executed. It is easy for the player to understand whether it is done.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of the first promotion effect. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when an effect using an operation means such as a button effect is executed, the effect switch 56
The effect promotion image 65b is displayed as an effect promotion display screen that encourages the operation of.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the first promotion effect A is executed as the first promotion effect, the characters "PUSH!" Are displayed in blue in the center of the display area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51 as the button effect. Occasionally, the explanatory character image 64a is displayed at the lower left as the effect promotion image 65b. Further, a part of the housing image 63, which is a live-action image of the housing of the slot machine 1, is enlarged and displayed on the right side of the explanatory character image 64a. The enlarged image displayed as the effect promotion image 65b is an image of a part of the housing including the effect switch 56 and its vicinity. Explanation The voice "press this button" corresponding to the first promotion effect A is output from the speakers 53 and 54 as the dialogue spoken by the character image 64a.

As shown in FIG. 9, since the effect promotion image 65b is executed using an image representing a part of the slot machine 1, the promotion display can be preferably displayed. Here, the button effect can be executed by the MAXBET switch 6 other than the effect switch 56. However, when the button effect is executed, the operation of the effect switch 56 is urged. Therefore, as the effect promotion image 65b, the enlarged image is an image of a part of the housing including the effect switch and its vicinity. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 9, since the effect promotion image 65b that can specify which switch is to be operated is displayed, it is easy for the player to understand which operation means should be operated. I can tell.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the stop promotion image 65a and the effect promotion image 65b do not use an image showing the entire slot machine 1. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the image of the housing image 63 of the slot machine 1 from becoming too large and making it difficult to see the promotion display.

The effect promotion image 65b may be displayed on the entire display area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51, or may be displayed on a part of the display area 51a of the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the operating means, at least a part of the panel provided on the lower side of the housing 1a of the slot machine 1 may be pressed. In such a case, when the button effect is executed, an image indicating that all or a part of the lower panel can be operated may be displayed as the effect promotion image 65b. Further, the operating means is not limited to the lower panel, and the player may use an operating means (for example, an accessory) provided at any position of the housing 1a of the slot machine 1 (for example, the upper part or the left and right of the housing 1a). It may be operable. Then, in such a case, an image including the accessory and the housing 1a may be displayed as the effect promotion image 65b. Further, when a sensor such as a touch sensor is set in the housing as an operation means, an image showing the position of the touch sensor may be displayed.

The second promotion effect is the stop switches 8L, 8 used for the operation for advancing the game.
This is an effect that encourages the operation of C and 8R. The sub-control unit 91 executes the second promotion effect when the push order combination (push order bell and push order lip) is won during AT. The second promotion effect is executed when the push order role, which is the execution trigger, is won. The operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is prompted by the image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the second promotion sound output from the speakers 53, 54. When executing the second promotion effect, the sub-control unit 91 maintains the volume of predetermined sounds (BGM, etc., for example, songs A to E output in the specific effect) that are generally flowing during the game. The volume of the second promotion sound is higher than the volume of the predetermined sound.

[Relationship between BGM and promotion production]
FIG. 10 is a timing chart showing the relationship between the output control of BGM (for example, songs A to E output in a specific effect) and the execution of the promotion effect. The horizontal axis indicates the time t, and from the top, "B"
The volume of "GM (predetermined sound)" is loud or low, and the "first promotion effect" and "second promotion effect" are executed (on state) or not executed (off state). Is) or
The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the continuous production during execution indicate the number of games. Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG.

In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the game is controlled by the RT2 and is controlled by the AT (ART state). It is assumed that the cherry is won at the time t1 during the AT, and the continuous production suggesting the winning of the additional lottery executed with this as an opportunity is started. Further, at this time, it is assumed that the first promotion effect B is selected by lottery based on the first promotion effect table of FIG.

Times t1 to t2 are the first game of continuous production. On the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, it is shown that the battle effect, which is a continuous effect, has started. Character A, who is an ally, and character B, who is an enemy, are displayed on the screen. At this time, BGM played during AT (
Predetermined sound. For example, the music A) to be output in a specific production is played at a loud volume. At this time, neither the first promotion effect nor the second promotion effect is executed.

The time t2 indicates that the second game of the continuous production has been started by the start operation of the player. At this time, it is assumed that the push order bell is won. Times t2 to t3 are the second games of continuous production. On the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, the enemy character B is used in the battle effect.
Shows that is attacking character A, who is an ally. At this time, the BGM (predetermined sound, for example, the music A or B output in the specific production) played during the AT is played at a loud volume. At this time, the first promotion effect is not executed.

The second promotion effect is executed. Specifically, at the bottom of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, circled numbers indicating the correct procedure of the push order bell (push order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) are displayed. Further, as the second promotion sound, the reel to be stopped at present is output as a voice. Since the correct answer procedure is in the left and right, the second promotion sound is output in the order of "Hidari", "Migi", and "Naka". While the second promotion effect is being executed (t2 to t3), the output of the BGM is maintained. Further, the volume of the second promotion performance is adjusted so as to be louder than the volume of the BGM. The second promotion effect is to perform the promotion effect by displaying the image and outputting the sound, but it may be the one that performs the promotion effect only by displaying the image or the one that performs the promotion effect only by the sound output.

The time t3 indicates that the third game of continuous production has been started by the start operation of the player. Times t3 to t4 are the third games of continuous production. On the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, it is shown that the ally character A is attacking the enemy character B in the battle effect. At this time, the BGM (predetermined sound, for example, any of the songs A to C to be output in the specific production) played during the AT is played at a loud volume. At this time, neither the first promotion effect nor the second promotion effect is executed.

The time t4 indicates that the fourth game of the continuous production has been started by the start operation of the player. At this time, it is assumed that the push order bell is won. Times t4 to t6 are the fourth game of continuous production. On the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, it is shown that the ally character A is attacking the enemy character B in the battle effect. At this time, the BGM (predetermined sound, for example, any of the songs A to E to be output in the specific effect) that is played when the AT is in progress is played at a loud volume. At this time, the first promotion effect is not executed.

The second promotion effect is executed. Specifically, at the bottom of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, a circled number indicating the correct procedure of the push order bell is displayed. Further, as the second promotion sound, the reel to be stopped at present is output as a voice. The correct answer procedure is middle left and right, so "Naka" and "Hidari"
, The second promotion sound is output in the order of "Migi". While the second promotion effect is being executed (t4 to t5)
), The output of BGM is maintained. Further, the volume of the second promotion performance is adjusted so as to be louder than the volume of the BGM.

When the winning symbol of the push order bell is derived by the third stop, the second promotion effect ends (the second promotion effect is turned off). When the second promotion effect is completed, the first promotion effect is started at time t5 (the first promotion effect is turned on). At this time, the volume of the second promotion effect is output at a high volume. On the other hand, the volume of BGM is output from high to low.

As the first promotion effect, the first promotion effect B is selected by lottery. Therefore, a green image "PUSH!" Corresponding to the first promotion effect B is displayed on the screen. At the same time, from the speakers 53 and 54, the promotion sound "press this button!" Corresponding to the first promotion effect B.
Is output, and the operation of the effect switch 56 is prompted. When the first promotion effect B is executed, the expected degree of winning of the additional lottery is 40%.

When the player operates the production switch 56, "WIN!" Indicates victory is displayed, and it is shown that the ally character A defeats the enemy character B and wins. This suggests that the additional lottery was won.

At time t6, when the character A defeats the character B, the battle effect ends, and the first promotion effect also ends (the first promotion effect is in the off state). Also, the first
With the end of the promotion effect, the volume of BGM returns to the original volume. The first promotion effect is a promotion effect by image display and audio output, but may be a promotion effect only by image display or a promotion effect by audio output only.

As described above, as shown at the times t5 to t6 of FIG. 10, when the first promotion effect is being executed, the volume of the BGM is reduced, while the time t2 to t3, t4 to t5 of FIG. 10 is shown. As described above, the volume of the BGM is maintained when the second promotion effect is being executed. Therefore, the player can concentrate on the operation of the effect operation means.

Further, as shown at the time t5 in FIG. 10, the stop switch 8L, by the navigation of the pressing order,
After the symbols are derived by operating the 8C and 8R, the first promotion effect that prompts the operation of the effect switch 56 is executed. Therefore, the player can concentrate on the operation of the effect operation means.

Further, as shown at times t2 to t3 and t4 to t5 in FIG. 10, when the second promotion effect is being executed, the volume of the second promotion sound is higher than the volume of the BGM, so that the second promotion effect is executed. The second promotion sound that is sometimes output is not difficult to hear.

For example, some conventionally known gaming machines output BGM during ART. In addition, there was one that encouraged the operation of the production switch and generated a special notification sound by the operation of the production switch to suggest the granting of benefits. In such a conventionally known gaming machine, B
In a situation where a predetermined sound such as GM is output, when prompting the player to operate the production switch, how to output the predetermined sound such as BGM so that the player can concentrate on the operation is completely unclear. It was not considered.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first promotion effect is being executed, the volume of the BGM is reduced, while the second promotion effect is executed as shown at times t2 to t3 and t4 to t5 in FIG. When it is done, the volume of BGM is maintained. As a result, the player can concentrate on the operation of the effect switch when the first promotion effect, which is an effect that encourages the operation of the effect switch, is being executed.

[Probability of execution of promotion effect]
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the execution probability of the promotion effect. As shown in FIG. 11, the first
The winning combination that triggers execution differs between the promotion effect and the second promotion effect. In addition, the execution probability of each promotion effect differs depending on the winning probability of the winning combination that triggers the execution. Hereinafter, the execution probability of the first promotion effect during ART and the execution probability of the second promotion effect during ART will be described.

The first promotion effect is triggered by winning a cherry or a watermelon during ART. The total number of determined values of the weak watermelon, the strong watermelon, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the middle cherry is 635 in any of the gaming states unless the bonus is in effect. In addition, the total number of determination values of all the lottery target combinations is 65536. Therefore, the winning probability of cherry or watermelon is 1.
It becomes 0% (= 635/65536). In this embodiment, when the execution trigger is won,
It is assumed that the promotion effect is executed with a 100% probability. Therefore, the execution probability of the first promotion effect is also
It will be 1%.

The second promotion effect is triggered by the winning of the push order combination (push order bell and push order lip) during ART. However, in the present embodiment, since the push order lip is not won in RT2 during ART, only the push order bell is applicable as the push order combination. The total number of determination values of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 is 16500 in any of the gaming states unless the bonus is in effect. The total number of determination values is 65536. Therefore, the winning probability of the push order combination (push order bell) is 25.2% (= 16500/65536). In the present embodiment, when the execution trigger is won, the promotion effect is executed with a 100% probability. Therefore, the execution probability of the first promotion effect is also 25.2%.

As described above, as shown in FIG. 11, the execution probability executed per game has a second execution probability of 25.2% as compared with the first promotion effect having an execution probability of 1.0%. Since the promotion effect is higher, it is possible to prevent the volume of the BGM (predetermined sound) from being raised or lowered frequently when the first promotion effect is executed.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible.
