Suggestion display means capable of displaying 51SH003, 51SH007, 51SH009, 51SH013, etc. (for example, CPU 120 for effect control) and decorative display for decorating the suggestion display (eg, pizza 51SH001, TV screen 51SH005, petals 51SH011, pool 51SH015, etc.) ) Is provided with a decorative display means (for example, a CPU 120 for effect control) capable of displaying), the decorative display has a first decorative mode and a second decorative mode, and the decorative display is displayed in the first decorative mode. The degree of expectation that a specific value is given differs depending on whether the decorative display is displayed in the second decorative mode, the suggestion display can be displayed in a specific mode superimposed on the decorative display, and the decorative display is the first decorative mode. When the suggestion display is displayed in, the suggestion display can be displayed for a longer time than the display time of the decorative display, and when the decorative display is displayed in the second decorative mode, the suggestive display of the decorative display of the second decorative mode is displayed. The decorative display can be displayed in a manner related to other effect displays, and the suggestion display means can display the suggestion display after being displayed in the specific mode before the suggestion display is displayed in the specific mode. (For example, as shown in FIG. 20-3 (C), the suggestion display 51SH003 after being displayed in the specific mode is displayed with a higher emphasis than the suggestion display of the above, and the suggestion display 51SH003 before being displayed in the specific mode. The decorative display means highlights and displays the decorative display after being displayed in a specific mode in a manner different from the decorative display before being displayed in the specific mode (FIG. FIG. The pizza 51SH001 shown in 20-3 (B) has an elliptical shape, but the pizza 51SH001 shown in FIG. 20-3 (B) has a perfect circular shape, etc.).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the suggestion display more conspicuous when it is emphasized by the difference in the mode between the emphasized time and the non-emphasized time.

(2) The gaming machine according to (1), wherein the suggestion display means is at a specific timing (for example, in FIG. 20-1 (B)) during an advantageous state (for example, during a big hit state) that is advantageous to the player. The suggestion display is displayed by (051SHT1 or 051SHT2, etc.) shown.

With such a configuration, the player's expectation can be fueled during the advantageous state.

(3) The gaming machine according to (1) or (2), the decorative display has a plurality of modes (for example, pizza 51SH001, television screen 51SH005, petals 51SH011, etc.).
(Pool 51SH015, etc.), the degree of expectation that is advantageous to the player differs depending on the mode of decoration display (for example, in the case of round promotion, a table that is easy to select in the order of meal mode, home mode, flower mode, summer vacation mode) By starting a big hit with using, the decorative display is pizza 51
SH001, TV screen 51SH005, petals 51SH011, pool 51SH015
The degree of expectation that is advantageous to the player can be different depending on the situation).

According to such a configuration, the player can pay attention to the aspect of the decorative display.

(4) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (3), the decorative display is displayed in a mode related to the other effect display (for example, when the other effect is in the meal mode). The decorative display is pizza, the decorative display when other effects are in home mode is the TV screen, the decorative display when other effects are in flower mode is petals, and the decorative display when other effects are in summer vacation mode is the pool, etc.).

According to such a configuration, since the decorative display is compatible with other effect displays, it is possible to perform an effect that does not cause a sense of discomfort to the player.

(5) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (4), the effect mode performed at the timing when the suggestion display is displayed is higher than the effect mode performed at the timing when the decorative display is displayed. This is a conspicuous mode (for example, as shown in FIGS. 20-5 (B) (C), there is no particular effect performed at the timing when the decorative display is displayed, but the effect performed at the timing when the suggestion display is displayed. Aspects include a "jaan !!" sound effect, etc.).

With such a configuration, the suggestion display can be made more conspicuous.

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (5), the display size of the emphasized suggestion display is larger than the display size of the suggestion display before being emphasized (for example, FIG. 20-). 3 (
The display size of the suggestion display 51SH003 in C) is the suggestion display 51SH0 in FIG. 20-3 (B).
Larger than the display size of 03, etc.).

With such a configuration, the suggestion display can be emphasized to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

(7) Means 6 In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (6), the display position of the emphasized suggestion display is different from the display position of the emphasized suggestion display (for example, FIG. 20-3 (
The display position of the suggestion display 51SH003 after being emphasized (center of the image display device 5) shown in C) is different from the display position of the suggestion display before being emphasized (below the image display device 5).

(Basic explanation)
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (also the configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be described.

(Configuration of pachinko gaming machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and shows an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly classified into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a game board surface and a gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device into the game area.

A variable display (also referred to as a special figure game) of a special symbol (also referred to as a special figure) as a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). First to do
A special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of these consists of 7-segment LEDs and the like. Special symbols include numbers indicating "0" to "9" and ""
It is represented by a lighting pattern such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

The "variable display" of the special symbol is, for example, to display a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. In the variation of the special symbol or the ordinary symbol described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative pattern described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged / reduced. It should be noted that the fluctuation includes a mode in which a certain symbol is blinking and displayed. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). In addition, the variable display may be expressed as a variable display or a variable display.

The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a "second special symbol". Further, the special figure game using the first special figure is also referred to as a "first special figure game", and the special figure game using the second special figure is also referred to as a "second special figure game". It should be noted that there may be only one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of the special symbol.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), or the like, and displays various effects images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special figure game and the second special figure game,
Variable display of decorative symbols (such as symbols indicating numbers) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from special symbols is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, "
The decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction or update display) in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". It should be noted that the special figure game and the variable display of decorative symbols executed in synchronization are collectively referred to as simply variable display.

On the screen of the image display device 5, there is a hold display corresponding to the variable display in which execution is held, and a hold display.
A display area for displaying the active display corresponding to the variable display during execution may be provided. Hold display and active display are collectively referred to as variable display compatible display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable displays on hold is also called the number of hold storages. The number of reserved storage corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as the first reserved storage number, and the number of reserved storage corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as the second reserved storage number. Further, the total of the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number is also referred to as a total reserved storage number.

Further, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold indicator 25 configured to include a plurality of LEDs is included.
A and a second hold indicator 25B are provided, the first hold indicator 25A displays the first hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit, and the second hold indicator 25B displays the first hold indicator 25B according to the number of LEDs lit. The second reserved storage number is displayed.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

The winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening in which a game ball is always kept in a constant open state in which a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the first special figure game may be started.

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that is changed between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B is, for example,
It is equipped with an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position, so that the tip of the movable wing pieces is close to the winning ball device 6A. The game ball does not enter the second start winning opening and is in a closed state (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, the variable-sweep wing device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening because the movable wing piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is in the on state (second start). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the second special figure game may be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any as long as it changes between the closed state and the open state, and is not limited to the one provided with the electric tulip type accessory.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four locations on the lower left and right sides of the game area), a general winning opening 10 that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member is provided. In this case, when entering any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided. The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning door (for special electric accessory) is off, the big winning door closes the big winning door and the game ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is on, the large winning opening door opens the large winning opening, and the game ball can easily enter the large winning opening. Become.

When a game ball enters the large prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When a game ball enters the large winning opening, more prize balls are paid out than when the game ball enters, for example, the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the general winning opening 10.

The entry of a game ball into each winning opening including the general winning opening 10 is also referred to as "winning". In particular, winning a prize at the starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as a starting winning.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the left side of the game area), the normal symbol display 2
0 is provided. As an example, the ordinary symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment LEDs and the like, and performs variable display of ordinary symbols as a plurality of types of ordinary identification information different from special symbols. An ordinary symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern such as "-". The normal symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of a normal pattern is also called a normal figure game.

A passing gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided on the left side of the image display device 5. Based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41, the normal drawing game is executed.

Above the normal symbol display 20, a normal symbol hold display 25C is provided. The normal figure hold display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of normal figure hold storages, which is the number of normal figure games whose execution is held, by the number of LEDs lit.

In addition to the above configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill that changes the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, there is an out opening for taking in a game ball that has not entered any of the winning openings.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are located at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3.
Is provided, and a game effect lamp 9 for a game effect is provided in the peripheral portion of the game area. The game effect lamp 9 is configured to include an LED.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (not shown in FIG. 1), a movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a ball striking operation handle (operation knob) 30 operated by a player or the like to launch the game ball toward the game area by the striking ball launching device is provided.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a gaming ball paid out as a prize ball or a gaming ball rented by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be able to be supplied to a hitting ball launching device. )
A hitting ball supply plate (upper plate) is provided. Below the upper plate, a hitting ball supply plate (lower plate) is provided, in which prize balls are paid out when the upper plate is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be grasped and tilted by the player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area. Stick controller 31
A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

A push button 31B is provided at a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area so that the player can perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. The operation for the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B as detection means for detecting the movement (operation, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the rotation operation of the pachinko game machine 1 by the player to the ball striking operation handle 30. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal map game (when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 but the normal map game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately). , The normal map game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (design per normal symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "per normal symbol". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than a normal symbol (a normal symbol lost symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol is "normal symbol lost".
Will be. When it becomes "per-normal", the opening control is performed so that the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period (the second starting winning opening is opened).

When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special figure game is being executed, or during the period controlled by the big hit game state or the small hit game state described later (starting prize has occurred). If the special figure game based on the start prize cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the approach is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In a special figure game, a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7") is used as a confirmed special symbol.
, The actual design differs depending on the type of jackpot described later. ) Is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "big hit", and when a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes a "small hit". Further, if a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit game state as an advantageous state advantageous for the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes "small hit", it is controlled to the small hit game state.

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state includes the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as an opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is open in this way is called a round (round game). In the big hit game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number (15 times or 2 times) is reached.

In the big hit game state, the player can obtain the prize ball by letting the game ball enter the big prize opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

A big hit type is set for "big hit". For example, the opening mode of the big winning opening (
Multiple types of game states (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc., which will be described later) after the big hit game state are prepared, and the big hit type is set according to these.
As the big hit type, a big hit type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained or a big hit type in which a small number of prize balls or almost no prize balls can be obtained may be provided.

In the small hit game state, the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the opening mode similar to the big hit game state in some big hit types (the number of times the big winning opening is opened is the same as the number of rounds above, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same. Etc.), the big winning opening is opened. As with the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

After the jackpot game state is completed, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability change state according to the jackpot type.

In the time saving state, control (time saving control) is executed in which the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure is changed) is shortened from the normal state. In the time-saving state, the average fluctuation time of the normal map (the period during which the normal map is changed) is shortened from the normal state, and the probability of becoming a "normal map hit" in the normal map game is improved from the normal state. Control that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening (
High open control, high base control) is also executed. The time saving state is a special symbol (especially the second special symbol)
This is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the above is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

In the probabilistic state (probability fluctuation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability change control in which the probability that the display result becomes a "big hit" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The probabilistic state is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol is improved and the “big hit” is likely to occur, which is a more advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the probabilistic change state continue until any one of the end conditions such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit game state are satisfied first. A game whose end condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also referred to as a number-cutting (time-cutting time reduction, number-cutting probability change, etc.).

The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state that is advantageous for the player, a time saving state, and a probability change state, and the display result in the normal figure game is "normal figure hit". The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit" returns to a predetermined state after the power is turned on, such as the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as when the process was not executed).

The state in which the probability change control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which the probability change control is not executed is also called a low probability state. The state in which the time reduction control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time reduction control is not executed is also called a low base state. By combining these, the time saving state is a low accuracy high base state,
The probabilistic state is also called the high-probability high-base state, and the normal state is also called the low-probability low-base state. The high-accuracy state and the low-base state are also called the high-accuracy low-base state.

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled to the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small hit" (however, "small hit" occurs. If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, it is not necessary that there is no "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

The gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big winning opening) during the big hit game state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, it may be controlled to a probable change state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game and enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. note that,
The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, and in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or a point of the game effect lamp 9. Equal / extinguishing, may be performed by the operation of the movable body 32, or the like.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the "left", "middle", and "right" provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first 2 In response to the start of the special figure game, the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, the final decorative symbol (combination of three decorative symbols) which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed. )
Is also stopped and displayed (derived).

In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display of a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. It is an aspect that is continuing.

In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (display result of the special figure game or variable display of the decorative symbol) to be "big hit" (also called big hit reliability or big hit expectation) is determined according to the production mode. Multiple different types of reach effects are performed. Reach effects include, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a definite decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration). The display result of the variable display of the symbol is "big hit"). As an example,"
The same decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right".

In the case of "probability change jackpot" which is controlled to the probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are all stopped and displayed, and the probability change state is changed after the end of the jackpot game state. If it is an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", an even number of decorative symbols (
For example, "6" etc.) may be displayed together as a stop. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a probabilistic symbol, and the even-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a non-probable variable symbol (normal symbol). After the non-probability pattern becomes the reach mode, the promotion effect that finally becomes the "probability change jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", a fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example," 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is" small hit "). As an example, "left", "middle", "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C,
The decorative pattern constituting the chance eye is stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective line in 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state), and when it becomes "small hit". , A common fixed decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "missing", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a definite decorative symbol of a non-reach combination ("" (Also referred to as "non-reach loss") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "missing", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination ("reach loss") that is not a big hit combination. The confirmed decorative symbol (also referred to as) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "reach loss").

The effect that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute includes displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notice effect includes a notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution, and a look-ahead advance notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the look-ahead notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (holding display or active display) to a mode different from the usual mode may be executed.

Further, in the image display device 5, one variable display is pseudo-like a plurality of variable displays by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display. The pseudo-continuous production may be executed.

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type of the big hit game state having the same aspect as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a highly accurate state). By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not know whether the current state is in the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, by executing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high probability state and the low probability state. You may.

Further, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demo effect is executed).

(motion)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operation of the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the gaming control main process is executed by the CPU 103. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial setting includes a stack pointer setting, a register setting of a built-in device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), a parallel input / output port, etc.), a setting for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3).
). The clear switch is mounted on the power supply board, for example. When the power is turned on with the clear switch turned on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. When the output signal from the clear switch is on (
Step S3; Yes), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, C
The PU 103 is an RA that clears the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102.
Perform M clear processing and set the initial value in the work area.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). Upon receiving the effect control command, the effect control CPU 120 displays a screen for notifying, for example, that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized in the image display device 5.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), RAM
It is determined whether or not the backup data is stored in 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power failure), the CPU 103 executes a power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko gaming machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stop of the power supply. In this power supply stop processing, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up to the RAM 102, a process of protecting the data of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes addition of an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and a process of backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for advancing the game (including various flags, various timer states, etc.).
In addition, the state of the backup flag and the error detection code are also included. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is on. RAM1 with backup flag off
If the backup data is not stored in 02 (step S4; No), the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes),
The CPU 103 checks the backed up data (used by using an error detection code) and determines whether or not the data is normal (step S5). In step S5, for example, it is determined by the parity bit or the checksum whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data at the time when the power supply is stopped. If it is determined that these match, RAM10
It is determined that the data of 2 is normal.

When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), CP
The U103 performs a restoration process (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply is stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents (contents of the backed up data) of the RAM 102. As a result, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped, and if the special symbol is being changed, the change of the special symbol is restarted from the state before the restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. Will be.

Then, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing recovery from the power failure to the effect control board 12 (step S7). Along with this, an effect control command that specifies the game state before the power failure that is backed up, and an effect control that specifies the display result of the special figure game that is being executed when the special figure game is being executed. You may want to send a command. For these commands, the same commands that are set to be transmitted in the special symbol process processing described later can be used. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command for specifying the time of recovery from the power failure, the image display device 5, for example, notifies that the image display device 5 has recovered from the power failure or is recovering from the power failure. Display the screen to do so. The effect control CPU 120 is
An appropriate screen display may be performed based on the effect control command.

After the restoration process or the initialization process is completed and the effect control command is transmitted to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (.
Step S10). Then, the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer is interrupted periodically every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and interrupts are permitted (step S12). ). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, the interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 10 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms).
It is sent to 3 and the CPU 103 can periodically execute the timer interrupt process.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 10
First, by executing a predetermined switch process, the detection signal from various switches such as the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count switch 23 is transmitted via the switch circuit 110. Determining the presence / absence of reception (step S2)
1). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined error processing on the main side, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22).
). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, the jackpot information (information indicating the number of times the jackpot has occurred) and the start information (starting) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information such as the number of times of winning and the probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of the probability change state) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process process (step S25). CPU1
By executing the special symbol process process for each timer interrupt by 03, it is possible to manage the execution and hold of the special symbol game, control the big hit game state and the small hit game state, control the game state, and the like (for details, refer to the details. See below).

Following the special symbol process processing, the normal symbol process processing is executed (step S26).
). By executing the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, the CPU 103 manages the execution and hold of the normal figure game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage of the game ball through the passing gate 41). It enables opening control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per-figure". The execution of the normal figure game is performed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the normal figure hold display 25C is turned on to display the number of normal figure hold.

After executing the normal symbol process process, as a part of the game control timer interrupt process, a process when a power failure occurs, a process for paying out a prize ball, and the like may be performed. After that, C
The PU 103 executes the command control process (step S27). The CPU 103 may send and set an effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to a control board on the sub side such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted and then the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process processing, CPU103
First, the start winning determination process is executed (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, a process of pre-reading and determining a display result or a fluctuation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After the hold information and the number of hold storages are stored, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the generation of the start winning prize, the number of hold storages, the look-ahead determination, etc. is made on the effect control board 12. .. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. It should be noted that each process of the special symbol process process (steps S110 to S120).
), The transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is made.

In the special symbol normal processing in step S110, the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value).
Is executed at. In this special symbol normal processing, the first is based on the presence or absence of pending information.
It is determined whether or not to start the special figure game or the second special figure game. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is set to "big hit" or "small hit" based on the random number value for determining the display result, and the big hit type when the display result is set to "big hit". Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a definite special symbol (either a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a lost symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. It should be noted that the special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also referred to as special figure 2 priority digestion). Further, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the starting condition of the special figure game may be satisfied in the winning order (also referred to as winning order digestion).

When making various decisions based on the random number value, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (a table in which the decision value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the decision result) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. For this fluctuation pattern setting process, the display result is "big hit" or "small hit".
It includes a process of determining a variation pattern to one of a plurality of types by using a random value for determining a variation pattern based on a pre-determination result of whether or not to set. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The fluctuation pattern includes the execution time of the special figure game (special figure fluctuation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the variable display mode of the decorative symbol (presence or absence of reach, etc.), and the variable display of the decorative symbol. It specifies the content of the effect (type of reach effect, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. In this special symbol variation processing, the processing for setting the special symbol to be varied in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol are performed. It includes processing to measure. In addition, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol reaches the special symbol fluctuation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop processing in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, and stop display (derive) the confirmed special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. Contains the process of making settings for. And the display result is "big hit"
If is, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is "8".
If the display result is "missing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "missing", the game state is also updated when the time reduction state or the probability change state is controlled and the end of the number of cuts is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. This big hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting to open the big winning opening by starting the execution of the round in the big hit game state based on the display result being "big hit". It has been. When the large winning opening is opened, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, the open upper limit period for opening the big winning opening and the upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to which type of big hit. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing ends.

The process of opening the jackpot in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. In this big hit opening process, the big winning opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is opened, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to return the device from the open state to the closed state. Then, when the large winning opening is returned to the closed state, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6" after executing a process of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door. End the processing while the jackpot is open.

The post-processing after opening the jackpot in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this big hit post-opening process, there is a process of determining whether or not the number of rounds to be executed with the big winning opening open has reached the set maximum number of executions, and a big hit game state when the maximum number of executions has been reached. It includes the process of making settings to terminate. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the upper limit, the value of the special figure process flag is "5".
On the other hand, when the number of round executions reaches the upper limit of the number of executions, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end process of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. In this jackpot end process, there is a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period corresponding to the period in which the ending effect as an effect effect for notifying the end of the jackpot game state is executed, and a probable change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing to make various settings to start control and time reduction control. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is "
It is updated to 0 ”and the jackpot end process ends.

The small hit release preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This small hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting the large winning opening to be in the open state in the small hit game state based on the display result being "small hit". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit opening preprocessing ends.

The small hit opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. In this small hit opening process, it is the timing to return the big prize opening from the open state to the closed state based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from the opening state of the big winning opening and the measured elapsed time. It includes a process to determine whether or not it is. When the large winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small hit game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the processing during the small hit opening process ends.

The small hit end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. The small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit game state is executed has elapsed. here,
When the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small hit end process ends.

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and sets the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73).
). The timer interrupt flag is set for a predetermined time (for example, 2) based on the register setting of CTC, for example.
It is set to the on state every time (milliseconds) elapses. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on,
The effect control CPU 120 is automatically set to disable interrupts, but when a CPU that is not automatically disabled is used, it is desirable to issue an interrupt prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in, for example, the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt enable, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is turned on in step S73 (step S73; Ye
s) Clear the timer interrupt flag to turn it off (step S74), and execute the command analysis process (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, the main board 1
After reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, settings and controls corresponding to the read effect control commands are performed. Will be. For example, the read effect control command may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the RAM 1 may be stored so that which effect control command is received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process process or the like.
The reception flag provided in 22 is turned on. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display the background according to the game state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitting body such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and a movable body 32. Controls are performed to operate various production devices such as the driving operation of the LED. Further, regarding the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control command or the like transmitted from the main board 11.

Following the effect control process process in step S76, the effect random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a part of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by the software. After that, the process returns to the process of step S73. Other processes may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the look-ahead notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, setting, and the like for executing the look-ahead notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 may be, for example, a RAM 12
Depending on the value of the effect process flag provided in 2, the following steps S170 to S1
One of the 77 processes is selected and executed.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command for designating the start of variable display is received from the main board 11. And so on. Image display device 5
When it is determined to start the variable display of the decorative pattern in, the value of the effect process flag is set to ".
Update to 1 ”and end the variable display start waiting process.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. In this variable display start setting process, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (fixed decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the reach effect, and various types are based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command. It is determined whether or not various effects such as a notice effect are executed, the mode thereof, and the execution start timing. Then, an effect control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) that reflects the determination result and the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start the execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start the variable display of the decorative symbol in response to the instruction to start the execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol.

The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120
By instructing the display control unit 123, the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 can be displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5, the movable body 32 can be driven, and the voice control board 13 can be driven. Speakers 8L, 8 by the output of the command (sound effect signal) to
During variable display of decorative patterns, such as outputting voice and sound effects from R, and turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Execute various production controls. After performing such production control,
For example, in response to the fact that the end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol is read from the effect control pattern, or the command for specifying the stop display of the fixed decorative symbol is received from the main board 11, etc. Displaying the decorative symbol Stops and displays the final decorative symbol that is the result of the display. When the fixed decoration symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3".
The effect processing during variable display ends.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command for specifying the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received, if the command specifies the start of the big hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to "6". Update to. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", which is a value corresponding to the small hit medium effect process. In addition, when the reception waiting time for the command has elapsed without receiving the command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "missing". Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the waiting process for hitting the special figure ends.

The small hit medium effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “4”. In this small hit medium effect process, the effect control CPU 120
For example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the small hit game state is set, and various effect controls in the small hit game state are executed based on the set content. Further, in the small hit middle effect process, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to the value corresponding to the small hit end effect in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the small hit game state. be"
Update to 5 ”and end the small hit medium production process.

The small hit end effect process in step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “5”. In this small hit end effect process, the effect control CPU 120
Sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the setting contents. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the small hit end effect process is terminated.

The jackpot effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect process, for example, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. Update to 7 ”and end the jackpot production process.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120
Sets, for example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

(Explanation of feature section 31AK)
Next, the feature portion 31AK of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a variation pattern and a type of reach in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 8 (A
), In the present embodiment, the non-reach loss variation patterns PA1-1, PA1-2, and the decorative symbol whose display result is "missing" without changing the variable display mode of the decorative symbol to the reach mode. Variation pattern of reach loss where the variable display mode is the reach mode and the display result is "loss" PA2-1 to PA2-6, PA3-1 to PA3-4, etc., and the variation pattern PB2 whose display result is "big hit". -1 to PB2-6, PB3-1 to PB3-4 and the like are available.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the present embodiment, reach effects such as normal reach and super reach A to E are executed. In this embodiment, the reach effect is also referred to as a suggestion effect suggesting that the jackpot state is controlled. The reliability (big hit reliability) when each reach is executed is represented by the number of black stars in FIG. 8 (B). Normal reach <Super reach E <Super reach D <Super reach C <Super reach B <The order is higher in the order of Super Reach A. In addition, a reach that is determined to be a big hit may be provided.

In this embodiment, the super reach is performed via the normal reach. In addition, during the reach production of Super Reach, a development production that develops (promotes) to a more reliable reach may be executed. Fluctuation pattern PA3-1 to shown in FIG. 8 (A)
The fluctuation patterns PB3-1 to PB3-4 and the like such as PA3-4 are fluctuation patterns corresponding to the execution of the development effect. In addition, although FIG. 8A shows a fluctuation pattern in which the reliability develops to a super reach one step higher, a fluctuation pattern in which the reliability develops by two or more steps is also provided. Further, a variation pattern in which the development effect is executed a plurality of times may be provided.

In this embodiment, except for the normal reach having the lowest reliability, the title of the reach is notified at a predetermined timing after the reach is established. FIG. 8 (B)
As shown in, the notification mode of the title differs depending on the type of reach. In particular,
Super reach E, which has the lowest reliability among super reach, is notified of the title of the reach only by display, and other super reach is notified of the title by display and voice. In this way, the title notification is executed by more production devices in the reach with high reliability than in the reach with low reliability. As a result, the player's expectation can be effectively aroused and the effect of production is improved. The mode of notification of the title may be arbitrarily changed depending on the reliability or regardless of the reliability. Further, even in the same reach effect, the notification mode may be different depending on the actual display result and the like. In addition, the font (Gothic typeface, Mincho typeface, etc.) and typeface (line book, regular script, etc.) of the title character may be different depending on the type of reach.

The notification of the title of the reach (title notification) is not limited to the one indicating the title itself such as the name of the reach, and may indicate the name of the character appearing in the reach production, the production content of the reach production, and the like.

(Example of production operation of feature unit 31AK)
Subsequently, an example of the effect operation in the present embodiment will be described. The following effect operation is executed by the effect control CPU 120 executing the effect control process process based on the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11. 9 and 10 are diagrams showing an example of the effect of super reach in the present embodiment. FIG. 9A shows that the variable display of the decorative symbol is executed in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” of the image display device 5. .. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 9B, "left" and "
The decorative pattern showing the number 7 on the right side stops, and the reach mode is set. After that, the production branches according to the type of reach.

(Super Reach A)
In the case of Super Reach A, as shown in FIG. 9C, the character 31AK001, which is a ally character, is displayed on the image display device 5, and the reach effect is started. here,
For example, an animation using the character 31AK001 is displayed. When a predetermined period has passed since the start of the super reach effect, such as the end of the introduction part of the super reach effect (also referred to as the super reach effect), the entire screen of the image display device 5 is as shown in FIG. 9 (D). Super Reach A title 31AK002 (Here, "SP Reach A"
(Character) is displayed, and the voice corresponding to the title name of the reach (here, “super reach A”) is output from the speaker 8, so that the title of the super reach A is notified. After that, the title 31AK002 of Super Reach A is erased, and as shown in FIG. 9E, the enemy character character 31AK003 is displayed, and the character 31AK is displayed.
The dialogue 31AK004 of 001 is displayed, and the subsequent part of the reach effect of the super reach A in which the character 31AK001 and the character 31AK003 confront each other is executed. The production in which the characters confront each other is also called a battle production, and in the battle production, if the ally character wins, it becomes a big hit, and if the ally character loses, it becomes a loss.

It should be noted that the speaker 8 is used when displaying the dialogue on the image display device 5 during the super reach effect.
The voice corresponding to the dialogue may be output from. Further, the dialogue is not limited to being displayed in a balloon as shown in FIG. 9E, and may be displayed in subtitles at the lower part of the image display device 5.

(Super Reach B)
In the case of super reach B, as shown in FIG. 9C, the character 31AK001 is displayed on the image display device 5 and the reach effect is started. Here, for example, an animation using the character 31AK001 is displayed. When a predetermined period has passed since the start of the super reach effect, such as the end of the introduction part of the super reach effect, FIG. 9 (F)
As shown in, the title 31AK005 of Super Reach B is displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5.
(Here, the character "SP reach B") is displayed, and the voice corresponding to the reach title name (here, "super reach B") is output from the speaker 8, so that the title of super reach B is changed. Be notified. After that, Super Reach B title 31AK00
5 is erased, and as shown in FIG. 9 (G), the character 31AK006, which is an enemy character, is displayed, the dialogue 31AK004 of the character 31AK001 is displayed, and the reach effect of the super reach B in which the character 31AK001 and the character 31AK006 confront each other. The subsequent part of is executed.

As described above, in the super reach A and the super reach B, the title of the reach is notified when a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the super reach effect. By doing so, the title can be notified after the introduction portion of the super reach effect is shown to the player, so that the effect of the title notification can be enhanced.

In addition, Super Reach A (FIG. 9 (C) → (D) → (E) ...) and Super Reach B (Fig. 9 (C) → (D) → (E) ...)
In FIG. 9 (C) → (F) → (G) ...), the super reach effect is executed in a common effect mode in the introduction part until the title is notified (). FIG. 9 (C
)). By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which super reach will be achieved after the super reach production is started and which title will be notified. Super Reach A and Super Reach B are not limited to completely sharing the production mode until the title is announced, and it is possible to determine which Super Reach will be achieved by paying close attention to the production. The parts may be made into a common production mode. For example, in the introduction part of Super Reach A and Super Reach B, a super reach effect (for example, an effect of displaying an enemy character or suggesting an enemy character) is executed in a manner related to the title notified thereafter. You may do it. By doing this, the production effect is improved and
Players will pay attention to the production. In this way, the title notification may be executed after making it possible to specify which super reach will be achieved.

(Super Reach D)
In the case of Super Reach D, as shown in FIG. 9H, the title 31AK007 of Super Reach D (here, the character “SP Reach D”) is located in a part of the center of the image display device 5.
Is displayed and the sound corresponding to the title name of the reach from the speaker 8 (here, ""
Defeat the enemy ") is output, and the title of Super Reach D is notified. In this way, in Super Reach D, the title is notified at the start of the Super Reach effect. Further, under the title 31AK007, an expectation degree suggestion display 31AK008 that suggests the expectation degree of the reach is displayed. Expectation is represented by the number of black stars, as shown in FIG. 9 (H). Here, the degree of expectation is the degree of expectation that is a big hit, but it does not have to completely match the reliability of the big hit of reach.

It should be noted that the voice notification of Super Reach D does not notify the title name as it is, but notifies the content of the reach. As described above, in this embodiment, the notification mode of the title notification by voice is different depending on the type of reach. As a result, the notification mode of the title notification becomes various and the interest is improved.

After the title is notified in Super Reach D, the character 31AK001 is displayed on the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 9 (I). At this time, title 31AK0
07 and the expectation degree suggestion display 31AK008 continue to be reduced and displayed in the upper right portion of the image display device 5. By doing so, the player can grasp the degree of expectation of reach even during the reach production. Although FIG. 9 (I) shows the same effect contents as those in FIG. 9 (C) (Super Reach A, Super Reach B), a super reach effect dedicated to Super Reach D may be executed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 9 (J), the character 31AK009, which is an enemy character, is displayed, and the dialogue 31AK004 of the character 31AK001 is displayed, or the character 31 is displayed.
The reach effect of Super Reach D, in which AK001 and character 31AK009 confront each other, is executed.

(Super Reach E)
In the case of Super Reach E, as shown in FIG. 10A, the title 31AK010 of Super Reach E (here, the character “SP Reach E”) is displayed in a part of the upper left of the image display device 5. As a result, the title of Super Reach E is notified. In Super Reach E, the title is not notified by voice. In addition to the display of the title 31AK010, the character 31AK001 and the character 31AK011 which is an enemy character are displayed, the dialogue 31AK004 of the character 31AK001 is displayed, and the reach effect of the super reach E in which the character 31AK001 and the character 31AK011 confront each other is displayed. Will be executed. In this way, in Super Reach E, the title is notified along with the progress of the reach production. In Super Reach E, the title 31AK010 continues to be displayed during the reach production.

In the reach production of Super Reach E, which has low jackpot reliability, it is possible to prevent the player from giving an excessive sense of expectation by notifying the title without stopping the progress of the reach production. On the other hand, in the reach production of Super Reach A, Super Reach B, and Super Reach D, the progress of the reach production is stopped and the title is notified (FIGS. 9 (D), (F), (FIG. 9), (F), and (2).
H)). By doing so, the title notification according to the super reach effect can be executed, and the effect of the effect is improved. Even in the super reach production such as super reach A, super reach B, and super reach D, the title may be notified without stopping the progress of the reach. Further, contrary to this embodiment, in the reach production of the super reach with high jackpot reliability, the title notification may be performed without stopping the progress of the reach production. In the reach production of super reach with low jackpot reliability, the progress of the reach production may be stopped and the title notification may be performed.

(Title notification timing)
As described above, in this embodiment, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, the title is notified after a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of Super Reach production, and in Super Reach D and Super Reach E, Super Reach production is performed. The title is notified at the start. By doing so, the title notification according to the reach effect can be executed, and the effect of the effect is improved. In this embodiment, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B having high jackpot reliability, the title is notified after a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the super reach production, and Super Reach D and Super Reach having low jackpot reliability are notified. In E, the title was notified at the start of the super reach production, but in the case of reach with high jackpot reliability, the title is notified at the start of super reach production, and in the case of reach with low jackpot reliability, the title is notified. The title may be notified after a predetermined period has elapsed after the reach effect.

(Title display area)
Further, in this embodiment, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, the title is notified on the entire screen (first area) of the image display device 5, and in Super Reach D and Super Reach E, the image display device 5 is notified. The title is notified in a part of the screen (second area) of. By doing so, the title notification according to the reach effect can be executed, and the effect of the effect is improved. In particular, in the case of a reach with high jackpot reliability, the title notification is executed in a wider display area than in the case of a reach with low reliability, so that effective title notification becomes possible. The title notification on the entire screen of the image display device 5 may be one in which the title is displayed in a size that fits in the entire screen, or the title is displayed there with the entire background as the background for title notification. Things (title notification using the entire screen)
And so on. Further, the display area for title notification may be different between Super Reach A and Super Reach B, or the display area for title notification may be different between Super Reach D and Super Reach E.

The method of differentiating the display area for performing the title notification according to the reach effect is not limited to the example of this embodiment, and the display area for performing the title notification may be arbitrarily different according to the reach effect. For example, in the case of reach with high jackpot reliability, title notification may be executed in a narrower display area than in the case of reach with low reliability. Further, when the display area for performing the title notification is different according to the reach effect, the display area may be different or the display place may be different as in this embodiment.

(Expectation suggestion display)
In this embodiment, in the title notification in Super Reach A and Super Reach B having high jackpot reliability, the expectation suggestion display is not displayed, and Super Reach D having lower jackpot reliability than Super Reach A and Super Reach B is not displayed. In the title notification in, the expectation degree suggestion display was displayed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the production from becoming dull. Further, in the title notification in Super Reach E, which has a lower jackpot reliability than Super Reach D, the expectation degree suggestion display is not displayed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from losing the sense of expectation by displaying the expectation suggestion display indicating that the reliability is low in the reach with low reliability. In addition, Super Reach A and Super Reach B
, The expectation suggestion display may be displayed in at least a part of Super Reach E.

As shown in FIG. 9 (H), the expectation degree suggestion display is not limited to the one indicated by the number of black stars, and the expectation degree may be suggested by a meter or a gauge, and corresponds to the expectation degree. The numerical value may be displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 9H or the like, when the number of black stars is used, half of the black stars may be displayed so that the number of stages of expectation may be increased.

(Title display end timing)
Further, in this embodiment, in the super reach A and the super reach B, after the title is displayed, the title is erased and the super reach effect is executed. As a result, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, attention can be paid to the reach effect. Further, in the super reach D and the super reach E, after the title is displayed, the title is continuously displayed until the determined effect described later is executed. As a result, in Super Reach D and Super Reach E, the type of reach can be grasped even during the super reach production. Further, by doing the above, the title notification according to the reach effect can be executed and the effect of the effect is improved. It should be noted that the display end timing of the title may be arbitrarily changed in order to improve the effect of the effect.

Although the production operation of the reach effect of the super reach C is omitted here, for example, the title notification and the expectation degree suggestion display according to the jackpot reliability may be executed.

(Decisive production)
After each reach effect is executed, when the timing for deriving the display result (the final stage of the variable display) is reached, a decision effect for notifying whether or not the display result becomes a "big hit" is executed. The deciding effect is a deciding effect indicating that the display result is a "big hit" and the display result is "missing".
Includes a decisive effect that indicates that. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10B, a determination effect in which the image 31AK012 is displayed on the image display device 5 is executed. After that, if the display result is "big hit", the image 31AK013 showing that the ally character has won is displayed as shown in FIG. 10 (C), and the big hit combination is displayed as shown in FIG. 10 (D). A definite decorative pattern is derived. If the display result is "missing", an image showing that the ally character has been defeated is displayed, and a definite decorative pattern that is a reach loss combination is derived.

In this embodiment, even if the title is continuously notified during the reach effect, the title notification is terminated before the determined effect is executed. As a result, it is possible to draw attention to the deciding effect, and it is possible to execute a sharp title notification.

In the effect operation examples shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, during the reach effect of the super reach, the decorative pattern is reduced in the lower right portion of the image display device 5 to execute the variable display, but the reach effect is in progress. The method of displaying the decorative pattern of is arbitrary. For example, the decorative pattern may not be displayed during the reach effect, or the display mode (size, position, shade, number, etc.) may be different depending on the type of reach effect.

When the image display device 5 displays a hold display, an active display, a character that is residently displayed during variable display, and a display related to mobile interlocking, it is appropriately hidden during the reach effect of Super Reach in order to pay attention to the reach effect. May be. At that time, these displays may be left displayed during a low-reliability reach effect such as Super Reach E. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from being overly expected by the low-reliability reach production, and it is possible to pay attention to the reach production in the high-reliability reach production.

(Development production)
Subsequently, an example of the effect operation when the development effect is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 11 (A), when the development effect is executed while the reach effect of Super Reach D is being executed (the title notification of Super Reach D is being executed), FIG. 11 (B) shows. As shown, the reach effect is interrupted and the screen is torn. After that, when developing into Super Reach A, as shown in FIG. 11C, the title of Super Reach A is notified, and the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed. When developing into Super Reach B, as shown in FIG. 11D, the title of Super Reach B is notified and the reach effect of Super Reach is executed. In this way, when the development effect is executed, the title notification of the reach of the development source can be switched to the title notification of the reach of the development destination, so that it becomes easy to understand which reach the development has occurred. As shown in FIG. 11, when the reach of the development destination is the reach of performing the title notification by display and voice, the title notification by display and voice is executed again.

The development effect is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 11B, and may be an effect in which the screen is gradually cracked and cracked, or a sandstorm (display as if it has failed) is displayed. You may do so. By making such an effect, it is possible to perform an unexpected effect. In addition, there may be a development effect of Gase, such as a production in which the screen gradually cracks but the reach does not develop.

(Expectation suggestion production)
In the production operation example shown in FIG. 9 (H), the black star indicating the expectation degree was displayed from the beginning on the expectation degree suggestion display 31AK008, but five white stars were displayed first and gradually. It is also possible to execute the expectation degree suggestion effect that suggests the expectation degree by becoming a black star.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, when notifying the title of Super Reach D, the expectation degree suggestion display 31AK021 of five white stars is first displayed. And FIG. 12 (B)
As shown in FIG. 12, a black star 31AK022 larger than the star of the expectation suggestion display 31AK021 is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 12C, the black star 31AK022 moves and the expectation suggestion display 3
An effect that fits in one of the white stars of 1AK021 is executed. At this time, a voice "pin" indicating that the number of black stars indicating the degree of expectation has increased is output from the speaker 8. FIG. 12 (
As shown in D) and (E), the same effect is repeated a number of times corresponding to the expected degree of reach. At this time, the sound (volume, scale, etc.) output from the speaker 8 each time it is repeated (for each number of stars).
The sound quality, etc.) may be changed step by step. When the number of black stars corresponding to the expectation is settled in the expectation suggestion display 31AK021, the black stars are highlighted as shown in FIG. 12 (F). By doing so, it becomes easy to understand that the expectation suggestion production has ended.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 12A to 12F, the black stars are displayed one by one and the expectation degree indicated by the expectation degree suggestion display is increased by one step, but two or more black stars are displayed. It may be displayed so that the degree of expectation increases by two or more levels. Alternatively, a half black star may be displayed to raise the degree of expectation by half a step. In this case, different sounds may be output or the same sound may be output depending on the number of displayed stars (the number of steps of the rising expectation). For example, the same sound may be output when a half black star is displayed and when one black star is displayed. The same sound may be output when two and a half black stars are displayed and when three and a half black stars are displayed. In addition, audio may not be output in some cases. By doing so, the expectation suggestion effect becomes various and the effect is improved. In addition, regardless of the number of stages of expectation that increases at one time, the same black star image is displayed, it fits in the white star of the expectation suggestion display, and the number of black stars increases according to the number of stages of increasing expectation. You may try to perform such an effect.

(Direction mode)
There may be a plurality of effect modes in the effect device such as the image display device 5, the speaker 8, and the game effect lamp 9. In different effect modes, even if the same command (for example, a command for designating a variation pattern) is transmitted from the main board 11, the effect based on the command is executed in different effect modes. In each effect mode, the background, characters, motifs, sounds output from the speaker 8 and the like displayed on the image display device 5 may be different. The effect mode may be automatically changed according to the number of variable displays and the game state, or may be changed by the operation of the player.

12 (G) to 12 (L) are examples of the effect operation of the title notification and the expectation degree suggestion effect when the normal mode and the special mode are provided as the effect mode. In the normal mode, the title notification and the expectation degree suggestion effect are executed as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12F. In the special mode, the reach effect based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach D is the reach effect of the super reach D2, which is different from the reach effect of the super reach D. Therefore, when the fluctuation pattern of Super Reach D is specified, FIG. 12 (G)
), The title 31AK023 of Super Reach D2 is displayed. At this time, the sound corresponding to the title name of the reach is output from the speaker 8, but the sound different from the normal mode (for example, the sound having a different voice color) is output. Further, the expectation degree suggestion display 31AK024 in Super Reach D2 is not a star shape but a rhombus shape.

After that, as shown in FIG. 12 (H), a black rhombus 31AK025 larger than the star of the expectation suggestion display 31AK024 is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 12 (I), a black rhombus 31AK025.
Is moved and an effect is executed so that it fits in one of the white rhombuses of the expectation degree suggestion display 31AK024. At this time, the speaker 8 outputs a voice "pon" indicating that the black rhombus indicating the degree of expectation has increased. As shown in FIGS. 12 (J) and 12 (K), the same effect is repeated a number of times corresponding to the expected degree of reach. When the number of black rhombuses corresponding to the expectation is settled in the expectation degree suggestion display 31AK024, the black rhombuses are highlighted as shown in FIG. 12 (L). In this way, depending on the effect mode (state when the reach effect is executed) determined according to the player's selection, the game state, etc., the effect of the effect is diversified by changing the notification mode of the title. improves.

FIG. 12 shows an example of the effect operation when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach D is specified, but other reach effects (title notification, expectation degree suggestion effect) depending on the effect mode (state when the reach effect is executed) are shown. ) May be different. Depending on the effect mode (state when the reach effect is executed), whether or not to notify the reach title and the execution ratio of the title notification may be different. For example, when a predetermined effect mode is selected, the reach title may not be notified. By doing so, it is possible to execute an effect according to the player's preference and the effect of the effect is improved.

In this embodiment, the expectation degree is suggested by the number of black stars in the expectation degree suggestion display, and the expectation degree suggestion effect that gradually increases the number of black stars is executed. It is also possible to execute an expectation suggestion effect that gradually reduces the number of indications suggesting. Such an expectation degree suggestion effect may be executed in addition to the expectation degree suggestion effect of this embodiment, or may be executed instead.

(Other examples of development production)
In the case of executing the expectation suggestion effect for gradually increasing the display indicating the expectation of the expectation suggestion display, the development effect may be executed after increasing the display indicating the expectation.
In this case, when the display showing the degree of expectation is increased after the development effect, the display to be increased may be displayed at once instead of stepwise. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 (A), after the title of Super Reach D is notified and the effect of gradually increasing the number of black stars is completed, as shown in FIG. 13 (B), a button is displayed on the image display device 5. The development effect in which the image 31AK031 is displayed is executed. Here, when the operation to the push button 31B is detected, as shown in FIG. 13C, the title 31AK032 of the super reach C (here, ""
By displaying the character (character of SP reach C), the title of super reach C is notified. In this way, when the development effect is executed, the title notification of the reach of the development source can be switched to the title notification of the reach of the development destination, so that it becomes easy to understand which reach the development has occurred. Further, under the title 31AK032, the expectation degree suggestion display 31AK033 in which the number of black stars is three is highlighted. Even if the number of black stars increases by two or more, they are displayed at once. In addition, after the movable body 32 operates, the development effect in which the title and the expectation degree suggestion display change may be executed.

(Notice production)
In this embodiment, as a notice effect, a title notice for notifying the jackpot reliability is executed depending on the notification mode of the title (for example, the display color of the title). For example, as shown in FIG. 14 (A), the title 31AK036 of the super reach A is displayed in black, and the sound corresponding to the title name of the reach is output from the speaker 8, so that the title of the super reach A is notified. After that, the title 31 is shown in FIG. 14 (B).
The title notice that the display color of AK036 changes to red is executed. In this way, if the title notice is not executed, the title is displayed in black, and if the title notice is executed, the title is displayed in a color other than black. In the title notice shown in FIG. 14,
After the reach title is notified by voice, the display mode (display color) of the title may change. By doing so, it is possible to enhance the effect of the advance notice effect. The timing at which the title is displayed in a color other than black is not limited to this, and the title may be displayed in a color other than black from the start of display.

In addition, when the title notice that the display mode (display color) of the title changes is executed,
After the display mode of the title is changed, the sound may be output according to the display mode after the change. By doing so, it is possible to enhance the effect of the advance notice effect. Further, the title notification by voice may be executed after the display mode (display color) of the title is changed. In this case, the sound may be output according to the display mode (display color) of the title after the change.

(Execution timing of title notification)
It is preferable that the notification of the title during reach is executed at a timing other than the execution timing of the effect (specific effect) that is controlled to the big hit advantageous state and improves the expectation, such as the advance notice effect and the development effect. By doing so, once the title is notified, an effect of improving the degree of expectation can be executed, so that the player's expectation can be maintained.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the advance notice effect determination process for determining whether or not the advance notice effect is executed and the effect mode. The advance notice effect determination process is executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the variable display start setting process of step S171 of FIG. 7. In the advance notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variation pattern specified from the command transmitted from the main board 11 is the variation pattern of the super reach (step 31AKS001).
).

In the case of a fluctuation pattern of super reach (step 31AKS001; Yes)
, The display color of the title of the super reach (whether or not the title notice is executed) is determined (step 31AKS002).

In step 31AKS002, the display color of the title of the super reach is determined, for example, at the determination ratio shown in FIG. 16A, depending on whether the display result is “big hit” or “missing”. The display colors of the Super Reach titles are "black" and "" as shown in FIG. 16 (A).
"Red", "black" to "red", "black" to "fruit pattern", "
There is something that changes from "red" to "fruit pattern", and the jackpot reliability is high in this order (ascending order). That is, the jackpot reliability differs depending on the change timing of the display color of the title. By doing so, the player pays attention to the change timing of the display color of the title, and the effect of the effect is improved.

In the "fruit pattern", the characters of the title may be displayed in bold and the characters themselves may be the "fruit pattern", or the background portion of the display area of the title may be the "fruit pattern". .. There may be a pattern displayed as a "fruit pattern" from the beginning. For those whose display color changes, as shown in FIG. 14, the display color may change after the title notification is executed. For those whose display color changes, there may be a plurality of timings at which the display color changes. Then, the jackpot reliability may be different depending on the timing at which the display color changes. Further, since the display period of the title differs depending on the type of super reach, the timing at which the display color changes may differ depending on the type of super reach. In the case of super reach (for example, super reach D or super reach E) in which the title display period is long, a plurality of changing timings may be provided and the change timing may be determined to be one of them. Then, in the case of a super reach with a short title display period (for example, super reach A or super reach B), the number of changing timings may be one or smaller than the number of super reach with a long title display period.

When there are a normal mode and a special mode as the production mode, FIG. 16 (A) is in the normal mode.
), The display color of the title is determined, and in the special mode, the display color of the title is determined at a ratio different from that of the normal mode as shown in FIG. 16 (B). In the special mode, the display color pattern and the order of reliability may be different from those in the normal mode. In this way, by making the execution mode (display color and change timing of the display color) of the title notice different depending on the effect mode, the effect is diversified and the effect is improved.

In this embodiment, as a notice effect, a line notice for notifying the jackpot reliability is executed depending on the display mode (for example, the display color of the line) of the character in the reach effect of the super reach.

After determining the display color of the title of Super Reach, the display color of the character's dialogue (whether or not the dialogue notice is executed) in the reach production of Super Reach is determined (step 3).
1AKS003).

In step 31AKS003, the display color of the dialogue in the reach effect is determined, for example, at the determination ratio shown in FIG. 16C, depending on whether the display result is “big hit” or “missing”. As shown in FIG. 16C, the display colors of the lines in the reach production are "white" and "".
Those that change from "red" and "white" to "red" are provided, and the jackpot reliability is high in this order (ascending order). That is, the jackpot reliability differs depending on the change timing of the display color of the dialogue. By doing so, the player pays attention to the change timing of the display color of the dialogue, and the effect of the effect is improved. For those whose display color changes, the display color may change after the dialogue is displayed. For those whose display color changes, there may be a plurality of timings at which the display color changes. Then, the jackpot reliability may be different depending on the timing at which the display color changes.

In addition, the jackpot reliability may be different depending on the combination of the title notice and the dialogue notice. For example, when the title notice and the dialogue notice include the same effect mode (display color), the jackpot reliability may be increased when the same effect mode is used.
Further, the jackpot reliability may be different depending on the combination of the change timing of the production mode between the title notice and the dialogue notice. For example, when the change timings are the same, the jackpot reliability may be higher than when the change timings are different, or the jackpot reliability may be different depending on which change comes first. By doing so, it is possible to pay attention to the respective change timings of the title notice and the dialogue notice.

When there are a normal mode and a special mode as the effect mode, the display color of the dialogue may be determined in the special mode at a ratio different from that in the normal mode. In the special mode, the display color pattern and the order of reliability may be different from those in the normal mode.

In addition, instead of the dialogue notice, a notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability may be executed by changing the effect mode of the reach effect. In that case, in the advance notice effect, a plurality of change timings of the effect mode may be provided so that the jackpot reliability differs according to the change timing.

After determining the display color of the dialogue in the reach effect, or when it is determined that the pattern is not the fluctuation pattern of the super reach (step AK31S001; No), whether or not to execute the other advance notice effect and the effect mode are determined (step AK31S004). After that, 31AKS002-3
The determination result in 1AKS004 is saved in a predetermined area of RAM 122 (step AK31).
S005), the notice production determination process is terminated.

In this embodiment, the title notice and the dialogue notice can be executed in the case of super reach, but the title notice is given in the case of a specific super reach (for example, other than the unreliable super reach). And at least one of the dialogue notices may be feasible. Further, the title notice and the dialogue notice have been described as being determined by the determination ratio shown in FIG. 16, but the determination ratio is arbitrary, and for example, the determination ratio may be different depending on the type of super reach. By doing so, it is possible to execute the advance notice effect according to the type of reach, and the effect of the effect is improved.

In this embodiment, the number of executable effects (the number of display colors that can be displayed) differs between the title notice and the dialogue notice. By doing so, the production becomes more diverse and the production effect is enhanced. In the title notice and the dialogue notice, the number of feasible production modes may be arbitrarily changed, and the number and types of feasible production modes may be the same. By doing so, it is possible to execute a unified notice effect, and it becomes easier for the player to grasp the jackpot reliability.

(Action production)
When the effect mode of the title notice and the dialogue notice changes, an effect indicating that the effect mode changes may be executed. For example, an action effect image may be displayed on the image display device 5, and the action effect that the image acts on at least one of the title and the dialogue may be executed. Then, after the action effect is executed, the effect mode (display color) of the title or dialogue may be changed. The effect mode (action effect image, etc.) of the action effect may be common regardless of whether it acts on the title or the dialogue. In addition, there may be a case where the effect mode of the title and the dialogue does not change even though the action effect is executed. When executing the action effect, the presence / absence of execution of the action effect, the execution timing, and the effect mode may be determined based on the determination results related to the title notice and the dialogue notice. Such a determination may be executed in the process of step AK31S004. For example, the rate at which at least one of the title notice and the dialogue notice changes (the rate at which the action mode changes due to the action effect) may be different depending on the effect mode of the action effect, or the title notice and the title notice may be different. The ratio of which effect mode changes (ratio of which action) may be different from the dialogue notice, or the ratio of how many colors (steps) change may be different. .. By executing such an action effect, the player will eventually be able to see the action effect image when it is displayed.
You will pay attention to whether it acts on the title or the dialogue, and the effect will be improved. When there are a plurality of effect modes, the presence / absence of execution of the action effect and the effect mode may be determined at different ratios depending on the effect mode. By doing so, it is possible to execute the action effect according to the effect mode, and the effect effect is improved.

As another example of such an action effect, at least one of the title and the dialogue is produced (display color) according to the effect content of the reach effect (for example, the action content of the character or the effect content in the battle effect). May change. By doing this,
Players will pay attention to the content of the reach production.

The present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 1 described in the above-mentioned feature unit 31AK, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, all of the feature portions described in the above embodiment are not essential configurations and can be omitted as appropriate.

(Sub LCD)
As a sub-display device different from the image display device 5, a sub-liquid crystal display may be provided on the game board 2 or the game machine frame 3. Although expressed as a sub liquid crystal display here, the sub display device is an organic EL.
Or a dot matrix LED. The sub liquid crystal device may be fixed to, for example, in the vicinity of the image display device 5, or may be movable or retractable. In the sub liquid crystal, various effects such as a notice effect and a hold display are executed. For example, the title notification may be executed on the sub liquid crystal. When the title is continuously displayed even after the title is notified as in the super reach D and the super reach E of the above embodiment, the title and the expectation degree suggestion display may be displayed on the sub liquid crystal.
In this case, after the title is notified on the image display device 5, the title and the expectation degree suggestion display may be displayed on the sub liquid crystal display. By doing so, the image display device 5
The title and the expectation suggestion display can be displayed without disturbing the super reach effect in the above, and the title and the expectation suggestion display are also easy to understand.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to the notification of the title of the reach effect as the suggestion effect has been described, but the title notification (mainly the notification of displaying characters) relating to other effects has been described.
The present invention may be applied to. For example, as a advance notice effect (for example, a look-ahead advance notice effect), in the case of executing a look-ahead zone effect for shifting to a plurality of zones (stage, effect mode, etc.) in which the background image and the effect mode are different in the image display device 5, the transferred zone. The present invention may be applied to the title notification of. When presenting a mission ("Reach with 7", "Use the stick controller to annihilate the enemy", etc.) and perform a mission production that will be in an advantageous state for the player when the mission is completed. The present invention may be applied to the title notification of a mission.

(Modification example 1 of the feature portion 31AK)
In the above embodiment, when it is time to derive the display result, the display result is a "big hit".
A decision effect for notifying whether or not the result is obtained is executed, and then the display result is shown (FIGS. 10 (B) to (D)). Instead of such a decision effect, when the predetermined timing before deriving the display result is reached, the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B
Even if the display result is displayed by executing the operation effect that prompts the operation of, and if the predetermined operation is detected during the operation valid period, the victory or defeat of the battle effect is displayed or the display result is temporarily stopped. good. By doing so, since the display result is shown according to the operation of the player, the player's motivation to participate in the game can be increased, and the interest is improved.

17 and 18 are diagrams showing an example of a super reach effect operation in a modified example in which an operation effect is executed and a display result is shown according to the operation. As shown in FIG. 17A, after the image display device 5 is in the reach mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 17B, the ally character 31AK041 and the enemy character 31AK042 are displayed. As shown in FIGS. 17 (C) to 17 (F) and FIGS. 18 (G) to 18 (I), the character 31A
The reach effect in which K041 and the character 31AK042 confront each other is executed.

Along with the reach effect, as shown in FIG. 17C, a small button image 31AK043 and a regulation line 31AK044 superimposed on the small button image 31AK043 are displayed at the lower right of the image display device 5. As a result, the operation effect using the push button 31B is executed, but it is suggested that the acceptance of the operation is currently restricted.

In this modification, a plurality of types of operation effect images indicating that the operation effect is executed are prepared. Then, the jackpot reliability differs depending on which operation effect image is displayed and the operation effect is executed. In addition, the image indicating that the operation effect is executed during the reach effect may change to a more reliable mode.

For example, as shown in FIG. 17 (D), the praying character 31AK045 is displayed, and FIG. 1
As shown in 7 (E), the praying character 31AK045 is pleased with the character 31AK046.
The small button image 31AK043 changes to the large button image 31AK047.

After that, as shown in FIG. 18 (H), the cannon 31AK048 is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 18 (I), the effect 31AK049 in which a bullet is fired from the cannon 31AK048 is displayed, and the bullet hits the large button image 31AK047. The effect 31AK050 to be performed is displayed. Then, the large button image 31AK047 changes to the stick image 31AK051.

As described above, in this modification, when the operation effect image changes, the action effect indicating that the operation effect image changes is executed. In addition, the operation effect image may change without the action effect. In addition, the operation effect image may not change even though the action effect is executed. The rate at which the operation effect image changes may differ depending on the type of action effect.

After that, as shown in FIG. 18 (J), the regulation line 31 is before the predetermined time from which the display result is derived.
AK044 is erased, and as shown in FIG. 18K, the stick image 31AK051 is enlarged and displayed in the center, and a display prompting the operation of pulling the stick controller 31A is displayed. Further, at this time, the operation to the stick controller 31A becomes an effective operation valid period.

Here, when the operation of pulling the stick controller 31A is detected, the image 31AK052 showing that the ally character has won is displayed as shown in FIG. 18 (L). afterwards,
At the end of the fluctuation time, as shown in FIG. 18 (M), a definite decorative symbol to be a jackpot combination is derived. If the operation is not detected within the predetermined operation validity period, the image shown in FIG. 18 (L) is automatically displayed.

In this modification, there are a small button image, a large button image, and a stick image as operation effect images, and when an operation effect using these images is executed in the order of small button image <large button image <stick image. The jackpot reliability of is high. Even if a low-reliability operation effect image is displayed, it may change to a highly reliable operation effect image during the reach effect, so the effect is improved and the player's expectation is raised. Can be maintained.

Although the reach title notification and the expectation degree suggestion display are omitted in the effect operation examples shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, they are appropriately performed in parallel with the reach effect and operation effect shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. It may be executed. The determination regarding the operation effect and the operation effect image (presence / absence of operation effect, display of operation effect image, presence / absence of action effect, etc.) may be executed in step 31AKS004 of FIG.

(Variation example 2 of the feature portion 31AK)
A suggestion display suggesting the degree of expectation of control to an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state may be performed. For example, the shutter effect of performing the first suggestion display and the reach title effect of performing the second suggestion display may be executed. In the shutter effect, an effect of covering the screen with a shutter display is executed after the variable display is started. Further, in the reach title production, an effect of displaying the reach title indicating the development destination of the reach effect is executed after the reach. When displaying either the shutter display or the reach title display, a specific image may be included and displayed. The reach title effect may be the same as the title notice of the above-described embodiment, or may be another effect determined by another process.

The specific image is an image with high jackpot reliability that is displayed including a plurality of types of elements in the image. As multiple types of elements, a banana image of element E1, a melon image of element E2,
An apple image of element E3, a watermelon image of element E4, and a strawberry image of element E5 are included. The fruit pattern image composed of these elements E1 to E5 is a specific image. In both the shutter display and the reach title display, all of the elements E1 to E5 are displayed so as to be visible. Further, the display sizes of the elements E1 to E5 constituting the specific image are changed and displayed according to the difference in display size between the shutter display and the reach title display. again,
All of the elements E1 to E5 are displayed so as to fit in each of the shutter display and the reach title display.

When the shutter effect is executed after the start of the variable display, when the fruit pattern image is displayed, the jackpot reliability is higher than when the fruit pattern image is not displayed. Also, when the reach title is displayed during the reach production, when the fruit pattern image is displayed,
The jackpot reliability is higher than when it is not displayed in the fruit pattern image. When the fruit pattern is not displayed, for example, a plain image that does not include each element E1 to E5 is displayed. note that,
An image pattern other than the fruit pattern image may be prepared as an image showing the jackpot reliability when the shutter effect and the reach title effect are executed. For example, a white image <blue image <red image <fruit pattern image may be prepared in the order of jackpot reliability (for example, a red shutter or a reach title in red letters). Then, depending on whether or not the display result of the variable display is a big hit, any one image pattern may be selected by a predetermined random number lottery.

When the shutter display and the reach title are displayed, even when the fruit pattern is displayed, the speaker 8 outputs a common sound (melody) and the game effect lamp 9 emits a notification. The common sound and the emission control of the game effect lamp 9 indicate to the player that the fruit pattern is a special image. When performing such shutter display and reach title display, common notification for the fruit pattern is executed.
Further, in the reach title display, a specific sound (voice) is further output after the common notification. The output period of the common sound and the specific sound may partially overlap.

FIG. 19 is a display screen view when the shutter effect and the reach title effect are executed. As shown in FIG. 19A, when the shutter effect is executed, the shutter image 31AK061 is displayed at the start of the variable display on the image display device 5. In the shutter image 31AK061, an image of a fruit pattern including all the elements E1 to E5 is displayed. again,
At the time of executing the shutter effect, the notification for outputting the common sound (melody) by the speaker 8 is executed, and the notification by the light emission of the game effect lamp 9 is executed. When the closed shutter is opened, the variable display of the decorative pattern is started as shown in FIG. 19 (b). The downward arrows indicate the variable display of the left, middle, and right symbols. When the variable display of the left symbol and the right symbol is temporarily stopped, the reach state is reached as shown in FIG. 19 (c).

Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (d), the super reach effect is started. The variable display is displayed small, for example, in the upper right corner of the screen, and the character is displayed on the left side of the screen. The reach title image 31AK062 is displayed at the lower right of the screen, and the content of the super reach to be executed is shown as the reach title display. In the reach title image 31AK062, the element E
An image of a fruit pattern including all 1 to E5 is displayed. In addition, reach title image 31AK
At 062, the characters "battle reach" indicating that the reach effect accompanied by the battle effect is executed are displayed.

Further, when the reach title effect is executed, the notification for outputting the common sound (melody) by the speaker 8 is executed, and the notification by the light emission of the game effect lamp 9 is executed. Moreover,
After outputting the common sound, an effect is executed in which the character emits a specific sound (voice) indicating that the jackpot reliability is high, such as "hot". Here, in the reach title effect, the size of the suggestion display to be displayed is smaller than that in the shutter effect. However, in this way, in the reach title production, by outputting a specific sound, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize that the fruit pattern image is displayed. Although the case where the output periods of the common sound and the specific sound are completely separated has been described, the output periods may partially overlap.

After that, the battle reach effect as shown in FIG. 19 (e) is executed. Enemy characters are displayed on the left side of the screen, and ally characters are displayed on the right side of the screen. When the ally character wins the battle with the enemy character, the characters "Battle win!" Are displayed in the upper left of the screen. It is notified that the big hit has been confirmed by winning the battle. When the battle effect is completed, the screen returns to the variable display screen with the original number pattern. As shown in FIG. 19 (f), all the symbols are stopped and
The jackpot symbol of "777" is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 19A and 19D, both the shutter image 31AK061 and the reach title image 31AK062 include all the elements E1 to E5 constituting the fruit pattern image and are displayed. By doing so, shutter images 31AK06 with different display sizes
In any of 1 and the reach title image 31AK062, the fruit pattern image can be suitably displayed. This makes it possible to accurately convey that the fruit pattern image with high jackpot reliability is displayed.

The display size of the shutter image 31AK061 shown in FIG. 19 (a) is shown in FIG. 19 (d).
) Is displayed larger than the display size of the reach title image 31AK062. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to the difference between the display size of the shutter image 31AK061 and the display size of the reach title image 31AK062.

Further, the shutter image 31AK061 shown in FIG. 19A and the reach title image 31AK062 shown in FIG. 19D are displayed at different timings. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the fruit pattern image, which is a specific image, from becoming difficult to see due to overlapping execution timings.

The determination regarding the shutter effect (presence / absence of shutter effect and effect mode) may be executed in step 31AKS004 of FIG. In that case, step 31AKS00 in FIG.
The determination related to the shutter effect may be made based on the determination result of the display color of the title in 2. For example, when the display color of the title is determined to be a fruit pattern, the shutter effect of the fruit pattern may be easily executed. In addition, the decision regarding the reach title effect is also combined with the decision regarding the shutter effect in step 31AKS004 of FIG.
It may be executed at.

(Example of jackpot type)
FIG. 20-1 (A) shows an example of a jackpot type in the pachinko gaming machine 1. There are two types of jackpots, each with a bonus name. One is a regular bonus, and the number of rounds in this regular bonus is 6 rounds. The other is a super bonus, which has 10 rounds.
It's a round. In each bonus, the number of counts in each round is the same (for example, 7 counts), so the super bonus is a jackpot that is more advantageous to the player than the regular bonus.

Further, the regular bonus and the super bonus are determined when it is determined as a big hit based on the extracted random number value in the start winning determination process. When it is determined as a big hit in the start winning determination process, the determination ratio for the big hit type as a regular bonus is 80%, and the determination ratio for the super bonus is 20%. After the end of the regular bonus and the super bonus determined in this way, it is controlled to the high accuracy state of ST8 rotation.

(Example of production mode)
FIG. 20-1 (B) shows an example of an effect mode performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1.
The effect mode is provided with four types of effect modes (meal mode, home mode, flower mode, and summer vacation mode). The effect mode is selected by the player using, for example, the stick controller 31A in the normal state and when the special figure game or the like is not executed. The selected effect mode continues even when the jackpot state is controlled. That is, during the jackpot state, the effect for the jackpot state in the effect mode that was normally performed is performed. The control of such an effect mode is performed by the effect control CPU 120. These effects are performed by the image display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the game effect lamp 9, and the like.

Of the effect modes, the meal mode is an effect that expresses the appearance of the character eating. The home mode is a production that expresses the situation when the character is at home, such as watching TV. The flower mode is a production that mainly expresses flowers and petals. The summer vacation mode is a production that expresses the behavior of the character during the summer vacation, such as when the character is in the pool.

The effect mode in the present embodiment is selected by the player, but may be selected by, for example, a lottery. For example, the effect mode may be selected by lottery at the start of the big hit, and the effect mode may be switched. At this time, the degree of expectation for the super bonus may be different in each production mode. Further, the display timing of the decorative display (displayed first or displayed later) and the erase timing of the decorative display (erased first or erased later) may be determined by lottery. At this time, the degree of expectation for the super bonus may be different depending on the display timing.

As mentioned above, there are two types of jackpots, a regular bonus and a super bonus. Of these, when the jackpot type is a super bonus, there are two ways to notify the jackpot type. One is to notify that the jackpot type is a super bonus at the time of a big hit or from the first round, and to pretend that the first 5 rounds are regular bonuses and that the jackpot type is a super bonus in the 6th round. It is a method of notifying by suggesting promotion effect.

In this promotion effect, as a value given to the player, a suggestion display suggesting that the jackpot type is a super bonus is displayed, and a decorative display for decorating this suggestion display is displayed. Further, the suggestion display in the present embodiment can be displayed in a specific mode superimposed on the decorative display.

The decorative display is displayed in a manner related to other effect displays. Specifically, FIG. 20-1
As shown in (B), the decorative display in the meal mode is pizza. The decorative display in home mode is a television. The decorative display in flower mode is petals. The decorative display in summer vacation mode is the pool. In this way, the decorative display is displayed in a mode related to the other effect display in each mode. According to such a configuration, since the decorative display is compatible with other effect displays, it is possible to perform an effect that does not cause a sense of discomfort to the player.

Further, when the display is performed in the above-mentioned specific mode, the timing at which the effect control CPU 120 displays the suggestion display and the timing at which the effect control CPU 120 displays the decorative display differ depending on the effect mode. With such a configuration, the player can be focused on the displayed timing. Further, after being displayed in a specific mode, the effect control CPU 120
The timing at which the suggestion display is erased by the effect control CPU 120 and the timing at which the decorative display is erased by the effect control CPU 120 differ depending on the effect mode. With such a configuration, the player can be focused on the timing of erasure.

The "display timing" shown in FIG. 20-1 (B) indicates whether the display timing of the decorative display is before or after the display timing of the suggestion display, and the "erase timing" indicates that the erase timing of the decorative display is the suggestion display. Indicates whether the erase timing is before or after. Therefore, in the meal mode, the decorative display is displayed at a timing prior to the suggestion display, and the decorative display is erased at a timing prior to the suggestion display. In the home mode, the decorative display is displayed at a timing before the suggestion display, and the decorative display is erased at a timing after the suggestion display. In the flower mode, the decorative display is displayed at a timing after the suggestion display, and the decorative display is erased at a timing before the suggestion display. In the summer vacation mode, the decorative display is displayed at a timing after the suggestion display, and the decorative display is erased at a timing after the suggestion display.

The display timing and the erasure timing will be specifically described. FIG. 20-2 is a diagram showing a timing chart corresponding to each effect mode. In FIG. 20-2, the “covering table” indicates the display of the decorative display. The "display" indicates the display of the suggestion display. "Disguise" indicates the erasure of the decorative display. The "show" indicates the elimination of the suggestion display. Further, "R6" indicates the sixth round, and "R7" indicates the seventh round. Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 displays the suggestion display at a specific timing during the jackpot state, which is an advantageous state for the player. With such a configuration, the player's expectation can be fueled during the advantageous state. In FIG. 20-2, it is described that the end time of the 6th round and the start time of the 7th round coincide with each other, but in reality, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the end of the 6th round. Seven rounds will start.

(Example of meal mode production)
First, the timing and the production example in the meal mode will be described. FIG. 20-2 (A)
Is a diagram showing a timing chart corresponding to a meal mode. In the meal mode, the decorative display is displayed at the timing 051SHT1. Then, at timing 051SHT2, a suggestion display is displayed. After that, at the timing 051SHT3, the decorative display is erased. Then, at the timing 051SHT4, the suggestion display is erased at the end of the sixth round. As shown in FIG. 20-2 (A), the display time of the suggestion display (051S).
HT2-051SHT4) is the display time of the decorative display (051SHT1-051SHT3).
It's a longer time than. With such a configuration, the afterglow of the suggestion display can be left more. At this time, the pizza 51SH001 has an elliptical shape when viewed from an oblique direction.

An actual production example of this meal mode will be described. 20-3 and 20-4 are diagrams showing an example of the effect of the meal mode. As shown in FIG. 20-3 (A), 2 during 6 rounds
A human character is displayed, and the pizza 51SH001 as a decorative display is displayed on the table at the timing 051SHT1. As shown in FIG. 20-3 (B) below, the suggestion display 51SH003 described as "SUPER BONUS" at the timing 051SHT2.
Is suddenly displayed on the pizza 51SH001. As a result, the suggestion display 51SH00
3 is displayed in a specific mode superimposed on the pizza 51SH001.

At this time, the suggestion display 51SH003 is displayed together with the sound effect of "jaan". On the other hand, when the pizza 51SH001 is displayed, no sound effect is output. Therefore, the effect mode (in this case, the sound effect mode) performed at the timing when the suggestion display is displayed is
This is a mode that stands out more than the production mode that is performed at the timing when the decorative display is displayed. With such a configuration, the suggestion display can be made more conspicuous. At this time, Pizza 51SH
The display position of 001 and the suggestion display 51SH003 is below the image display device 5, not at least in the center.

FIG. 20-3 (C) is a diagram showing an example of highlighting. "Emphasis" in the promotion effect is to display in a size larger than the display size of the suggestion display at the timing when the suggestion display is displayed. Therefore, the display size of the highlighted suggestion display is larger than the display size of the suggestion display before being highlighted. With such a configuration, the suggestion display can be emphasized to the player in an easy-to-understand manner. When superimposed and displayed at the above timing 051SHT2, pizza 51SH0
01 and the suggestion display 51SH003 are magnified from directly above and changed to an image taken. As described above, the effect control CPU 120 displays the suggestion display 51SH003 after being displayed in a specific mode.
It is displayed with more emphasis than the suggestion display 51SH003 before being displayed in a specific mode. Further, the effect control CPU 120 emphasizes and displays the pizza 51SH001 after being displayed in the specific mode in a manner different from that of the pizza 51SH001 before being displayed in the specific mode.

Specifically, the pizza 51SH001 before being displayed in the specific embodiment had an elliptical aspect, but the highlighted pizza 51SH001 has a perfect circular aspect. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the suggestion display more conspicuous when it is emphasized by the difference in the mode between the emphasized time and the non-emphasized time.

Further, at this time, the display positions of the pizza 51SH001 and the suggestion display 51SH003 are at the center of the image display device 5. Therefore, the display position of the emphasized suggestion display is different from the display position of the suggestion display before being emphasized (below the image display device 5). With such a configuration, it is possible to emphasize according to various effects.

In addition, in the production during the big hit, there is a ball ejection notification effect that displays the payout balls during the jackpot. In the payout notification effect, for example, when 4500 payouts are paid out, "450"
It is displayed as "0ptGET". FIG. 2 shows the display by such a ball ejection notification effect.
When increasing the display size of the suggestion display as shown in 0-3 (C), the display by the ball ejection notification effect is displayed small so that the suggestion display and the display by the ball ejection notification effect do not overlap. You may.

FIG. 20-4 (D) is a diagram showing a display example in which the suggestion display 51SH003 after being displayed in the specific mode is displayed with more emphasis than the suggestion display 51SH003 before being displayed in the specific mode. The difference from 20-3 (C) is that it is a highlighting example in which only the suggestion display is further emphasized. With such a configuration, the content that the player originally wants to know (being a super bonus) is emphasized, so that the degree of recognition of the suggested content can be increased while decorating. The suggestion display 51SH003 is displayed almost entirely on the image display device 5. At this time, the pizza 51SH001 is erased at the timing 051SHT3. FIG. 20-4 (E) is a diagram showing images displayed by the end of 6 rounds. Pizza 51SH
Since 001 has already been erased, it is not displayed, and the suggestion display 51SH003 is displayed, but it is not highlighted, and the suggestion display 51SH003 is displayed until the end of the 6th round.

FIG. 20-4 (F) is a diagram showing an image when the 7th round has started. Figure 20-4 (
As shown in F), pizza 51SH001 is not displayed. On the other hand, suggestion display 51S
H003 is redisplayed in the upper left. The effect control CPU 120 is shown in FIGS. 20-4 (E) and FIG.
As shown in 0-4 (F), after the suggestion display is highlighted, the suggestion display is displayed in a display mode that is less conspicuous than the highlighted display mode. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the emphasized suggestion display from interfering with other productions.

(Example of home mode production)
Next, the timing and the production example in the home mode will be described. FIG. 20-2 (B)
Is a diagram showing a timing chart corresponding to the home mode. In the home mode, the decorative display is displayed at the timing 051SHT1. Then, at timing 051SHT2, a suggestion display is displayed. After that, at the timing 051SHT3, the suggestion display is erased. Then, at the timing 051SHT4, the decorative display is erased.

An actual production example of this home mode will be described. 20-5, 20-6, 20-
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of production in the home mode. As shown in FIG. 20-5 (A), the two characters and the sides of the television are displayed during the 6 rounds. The two characters are watching TV. After that, as shown in FIG. 20-5 (B), the angle of view changes as the camera moves, and at the timing 051SHT1, the television screen 51 as a decorative display 51.
SH005 is displayed. In this way, the decorative display is not always displayed from the beginning.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20-5 (C), the suggestion display 51SH007 is displayed on the television screen 51SH005 at the timing 051SHT2. As a result, the suggestion display 5
1SH007 is displayed in a specific mode superimposed on the television screen 51SH005. At this time,
The suggestion display 51SH007 is displayed together with the sound effect of "jaan". On the other hand, since the TV screen 51SH005 is only displayed with the angle of view of the camera changed, no sound effect is output. Therefore, the effect mode (in this case, in this case) performed at the timing when the suggestion display is displayed.
The effect mode by sound) is a mode that stands out more than the effect mode performed at the timing when the decorative display is displayed. With such a configuration, the suggestion display can be made more conspicuous.

FIG. 20-6 (D) is a diagram showing an example of highlighting in which only the suggestion display is further emphasized. The suggestion display 51SH007 is displayed on almost the entire image display device 5. FIG. 20-6 (E) shows
It is a figure which shows the screen which returned to the same screen as FIG. 20-5 (C) after finishing the emphasis of the suggestion display.
In this way, the effect control CPU 120 highlights and displays the suggestion display, and then displays the suggestion display in a display mode that is less conspicuous than the highlighted display mode. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the emphasized suggestion display from interfering with other productions. For example, FIG. 20-
As shown in 6 (E), it is possible to prevent the character from interfering with the production that pleases the character.

After that, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (F), the angle of view changes as the camera moves.
The television screen 51SH005 moves to the right side of the image display device 5. In FIG. 20-5 (B) above, since the television screen 51SH005 exists on the left side of the image display device 5, the television screen 5
1SH005 has moved. That is, the decorative display moves from the position when it was displayed. According to such a configuration, the decorative display can be moved according to various effects.

Next, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (G), the suggestion display is erased at the timing 051SHT3. Then, at the timing 051SHT4, the angle of view changes as the camera moves, and the TV screen 51SH005 moves further to the right, so that the TV screen 51S
H005 is erased. In FIG. 20-5 (B), since the television screen 51SH005 exists on the left side of the image display device 5, the television screen 51SH005 is erased at a position different from the position where the television screen 51SH005 was initially displayed.

In the meal mode and home mode where the decoration display explained above is displayed before the suggestion display, the suggestion display is always displayed, but even if the decoration display is displayed, if the super bonus is not won, The suggestion display is not displayed. That is, even if the decorative display is displayed, the suggestion display is not necessarily displayed. Specifically, in the meal mode, the pizza was a decorative display, but this pizza is always displayed in the meal mode, and the TV screen is always displayed in the home mode as well.

Further, although the mode of the decorative display is different between the meal mode and the home mode, the highlighted suggestive display is the decorative display as shown in FIGS. 20-4 (D) and 20-6 (D). Regardless of the mode, the displayed mode of the emphasized suggestion display is a common mode (displayed by almost the entire image display device 5, etc.).

(Example of flower mode production)
Next, the timing and the production example in the flower mode will be described. FIG. 20-2 (C) is a diagram showing a timing chart corresponding to the flower mode. Timing 0 in flower mode
A suggestion display is displayed at 51SHT1. Then, at timing 051SHT2, a decorative display is displayed. After that, at the timing 051SHT3, the decorative display is erased.
Then, at the timing 051SHT4, the suggestion display is erased at the end of the sixth round.

An actual production example of this flower mode will be described. 20-8 and 20-9 are diagrams showing an example of the effect of the flower mode. In the flower mode, petals are used as a decorative display. and,
The petals as a decorative display are not displayed in front of the screen shown in FIG. 20-8 (A). In that state, timing 051 during the 6 rounds, as shown in FIG. 20-8 (A).
In SHT1, the enlarged suggestion display 51SH009 is displayed.

At this time, the suggestion display 51SH009 is displayed together with the sound effect of "jaan". On the other hand, when the petal 51SH011 is displayed, no sound effect is output. Therefore, the effect mode performed at the timing when the suggestion display is displayed (in this case, the effect mode by sound) is more conspicuous than the effect mode performed at the timing when the decorative display is displayed. With such a configuration, the suggestion display can be made more conspicuous.

The enlarged suggestion display 51SH009 is reduced with the passage of time in FIG. 20-8.
As shown in (B), at timing 051SHT2, the petals 51 as a decorative display
SH011 is displayed. As a result, the suggestion display 51SH009 becomes the petal 51SH01.
It is displayed in a specific mode superimposed on 1.

In FIG. 20-8 (B), since the suggestion display 51SH009 falls on the petals 51SH011, the petals 51SH011 also sway due to the wind pressure. That is, the effect control CPU 12
0 indicates the aspect of the petal 51SH011 and the petal 51S when displayed in a specific aspect.
It is displayed in the mode in which H011 is operating. Further, the effect control CPU 120 is a petal 51.
When the mode of SH011 is displayed in the mode of operating the petal 51SH011, the mode of the suggestion display 51SH009 is displayed in the mode in which the suggestion display 51SH009 is operating. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the suggestion display.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20-8 (C), the suggestion display 51SH009 is the petal 51S.
By landing on H011, the petals 51SH011 are scattered by the wind pressure. Petal 51SH0
After 11 is scattered, the wind blows as shown in FIG. 20-9 (D). This wind causes the petals 51SH011 to scatter, and as shown in FIG. 20-9 (E), the timing 051SH.

(Example of summer vacation mode production)
Next, the timing and the production example in the summer vacation mode will be described. Figure 20-2 (D
) Is a diagram showing a timing chart corresponding to the summer vacation mode. In summer vacation mode
At timing 051SHT1, a suggestion display is displayed. Then timing 051SH
At T2, a decorative display is displayed. After that, at the timing 051SHT3, the suggestion display is erased. Then, at the timing 051SHT4, the decorative display is erased at the end of the sixth round.

An actual production example of this summer vacation mode will be described. 20-10 and 20-11 are shown in FIGS. 20-10.
It is a figure which shows the production example of the summer vacation mode. In the summer vacation mode, the pool is used as a decorative display. The pool as a decorative display is not displayed in front of the screen shown in FIG. 20-10 (A). In that state, as shown in FIG. 20-10 (A), the enlarged suggestion display 51SH013 is displayed at the timing 051SHT1 during the 6 rounds.

At this time, the suggestion display 51SH013 is displayed together with the sound effect of "jaan". On the other hand, when the pool 51SH015 is displayed, no sound effect is output. Therefore, the effect mode performed at the timing when the suggestion display is displayed (in this case, the effect mode by sound) is more conspicuous than the effect mode performed at the timing when the decorative display is displayed. With such a configuration, the suggestion display can be made more conspicuous.

The enlarged suggestion display 51SH013 shrinks with the passage of time, so that FIG. 20-1
As shown in 0 (B), at timing 051SHT2, pool 5 as a decorative display
1SH015 is displayed. As a result, the suggestion display 51SH013 becomes the pool 51SH0.
It is displayed in a specific mode superimposed on 15.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20-10 (C), the suggestion display 51SH013 is pooled 51.
Land on SH015. As shown in FIG. 20-11 (D), the suggestion display 51SH013 that has landed becomes difficult to see by sinking into the pool 51SH015. Eventually, FIG. 20
As shown in -11 (E), at timing 051SHT3, suggestion display 51SH01
When 3 is completely submerged in the pool 51SH015, the suggestion display 51SH013 is erased.
The image of FIG. 20-11 (E) is displayed until the end of 6 rounds. FIG. 20-11 (F) shows.
It is a figure which shows the image at the time when 7 rounds started. As shown in FIG. 20-11 (F), the pool 51SH015 is erased, while the suggestion display 51SH013 is displayed again.

In FIGS. 20-10 (C) and 20-11 (D) described above, the suggestion display is appealed by superimposing a spray or the like as an effect image for the suggestion display. In addition, as an effect image that appeals the suggestion display, there is an effect image such as a concentrated line that radiates from the center of the screen. The suggestion display may be appealed by superimposing such an effect image on the suggestion display, but since the suggestion display suggests the value given to the player, the visibility of the suggestion display is impaired by the effect image. It is not desirable to be Therefore,
For example, as shown in FIG. 20-11 (D), the effect image may be superimposed to the extent that the visibility of the suggested image is not impaired, or the effect image that is not superimposed on the suggested image may be used.

In the embodiment described above, the "value" in the "suggestion display suggesting the value given to the player" is not limited to the number of rounds in the open control state as described in the embodiment, and each round is open. Control the time, whether or not to control the probabilistic state, the number of probable changes when limiting the continuation of the probabilistic state by the number of variable display times (for example, ending the probabilistic state when the variable display is executed 100 times), and the time saving state. Whether or not to do (including the case of controlling with the probable change state and the case of controlling without the probable change state), and whether or not the pending villa will occur, or one of them, or Multiple combinations can be mentioned.

Further, the suggestion display is not limited to the one expressed in a euphemism or the one expressed in a distant way, and may be expressed clearly. As an euphemistic expression or a distant expression, for example, an expression such as "maybe SUPER BONUS?" Can be mentioned. on the other hand,
As a clearly expressed suggestion display, for example, a display such as "SUPER BONUS confirmed" can be mentioned.

Further, the suggestion display may be any display as long as it suggests the value given to the player, and may be a display related to a big hit or a display related to a probability change.

Further, "superimposition" indicates an aspect in which the suggestion display and the decorative display overlap at least in part.
Therefore, for example, a mode in which the entire suggestion display overlaps a part of the decorative display, or conversely, a mode in which the entire decorative display overlaps a part of the suggestion display is also included in the superimposition. Further, the decorative display is not limited to one as shown in the petal 51SH011 of FIG. 20-8. Therefore, for example, as in the reach title image 31AK062 of FIG. 19, "battle reach" may be used as a suggestion display and "fruit pattern image" may be used as a decorative display. Therefore, for example, after the characters "super heat" are displayed on a white background, a "fruit pattern image" may be superimposed as in the reach title image 31AK062, or after the "fruit pattern image" is first displayed. , The letters "super heat" may be superimposed. Such an aspect is suitable for a cut-in effect. Also, like the so-called group notice,
A group may be used as a decorative display.

In the process of displaying the superimposed image in the image display device 5, image data indicating each of the suggestion display and the decorative display is prepared, and these image data are displayed on different layers to be superimposed. There is a process of preparing one image data in which the suggestion display and the decorative display are superimposed and displaying the image data, but any process may be used.
Therefore, it may be displayed in one process in a certain scene and displayed in the other process in another scene.

Further, in the present embodiment, both the decorative display and the suggestion display are shown on the image display device 5, but at least one of them may be used as an accessory. For example, an accessory provided with a display device may perform a suggestion display, display a decorative display on the image display device 5, and superimpose the display.

In the embodiment described above, the promotion effect was performed in the sixth round. That is, although the promotion effect was performed in the final round of the regular bonus, the promotion effect is not limited to this, and the promotion effect may be performed in the round before the final round. Further, instead of fixing the round for the promotion effect, some patterns for the promotion effect may be prepared, such as determining the round for the promotion effect by lottery, and the promotion effect may be performed according to the pattern. In this case, a different mode of promotion effect may be performed according to the effect such as a round image for which the promotion effect is performed.
