Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine that plays a game.

As a gaming machine, a slot machine in which a predetermined number of bets is set and a variable display of a plurality of types of identification information is performed based on the acceptance of a start operation, or a gaming medium such as a gaming ball is launched into a gaming area by a launching device. There is a pachinko gaming machine or the like in which a plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed when a gaming medium wins a prize in a starting area such as a winning opening provided in the gaming area.

As such a gaming machine, there has been proposed a machine that displays "PUSH button repeated hits" and performs an enemy slashing effect that encourages the player to repeatedly hit the effect buttons to suggest the possibility of a big hit being confirmed (). For example, see Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, when the number of remaining enemies reaches 0, the display of "PUSH button repeated hits" is terminated.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2010-110517

In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the display of "PUSH button repeated hits" is terminated at the same time as the remaining number of enemies becomes 0, so if attention is paid to the hand in order to repeatedly hit the effect button. There is a possibility that the end of the display may be overlooked and the player may not be able to recognize the timing at which the continuous striking operation may be ended, and there is room for improvement in the display that prompts the operation of the effect button.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which a player can easily recognize that an operation has been accepted.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to the present invention is
A gaming machine that plays a game (for example, gaming machine 1).
An operation unit operated by the player (for example, a production switch 56) and
An operation promotion image display means (for example, a sub control unit 91) that displays an operation promotion image that prompts an operation on the operation unit (for example, display of a switch image for effect, display of a reception period suggestion image, display of an operation promotion image) is executed. Processing to display the effect switch image, the reception period suggestion image, and the operation promotion image on the liquid crystal display 51).
A light emitting control means in which a light emitting unit (for example, a switch lamp for effect) provided in the operation unit is set as a specific mode (for example, lighting or blinking) when the operation of the operation unit is promoted by displaying the operation promotion image. (For example, a process of turning on and blinking the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 executed by the sub control unit 91).
A specific image display means (for example, a specific display, a display of a specific character image, a display of changing the color of a frame image, a display of an effect result in a continuous effect) after an operation on the operation unit is performed. , The sub-control unit 91 displays the specific display, the display of the specific character image, the display of changing the color of the frame image, and the display of the effect result in the continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 executed after the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed. Processing to be performed) and
A storage means for storing data (for example, a data area of ROM 41b) and
By specifying a relative value from a specific address, a specific instruction (for example, an LDT instruction) for reading data from the storage area of the storage means at the specified address is executed based on a program (for example, a program in the area). It is equipped with an instruction execution means (for example, a main control unit 41).
The storage means has a plurality of table format data used according to the progress of the game in a predetermined area starting from the specific address (for example, at the time of special role loss, at the time of BB internal winning, at the time of CB internal winning, during CB, etc.). The number of judgment values etc. is stored in table format data),
The specific instruction is used for a program (for example, a program for internal lottery processing) that is frequently executed by the instruction executing means.
The light emitting control means changes the light emitting unit from the specific mode to a mode different from the specific mode (for example, the sub control unit 91) before the predetermined period elapses after the operation on the operation unit is performed. The effect switch 56 is turned on and the blinking effect switch lamp is turned off before a predetermined period has elapsed after the operation on the effect switch 56 is performed).
The operation promotion image display means continuously displays the operation promotion image at a specific position in the display area until the predetermined period elapses after the operation on the operation unit is performed, and the predetermined period (for example, a predetermined period). ) Elapses , all the display of the operation promotion image is erased (for example, after a predetermined period has elapsed from the operation of the sub control unit 91 to the effect switch 56, the effect switch image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. , Display of reception period suggestion image, display of operation promotion image is finished),
The specific image display means is
Before the predetermined period elapses after the operation on the operation unit is performed, the first specific image is displayed as the specific image at a position different from the specific position.
After the predetermined period has elapsed from the operation on the operation unit, a second specific image different from the first specific image is displayed at the specific position as the specific image.

According to such a configuration, when the player operates the operation unit, he / she pays attention to the operation unit that emits light at his / her own hand and then pays attention to the operation promotion display. It becomes more difficult for the player to end the operation promotion display before the player pays attention to the operation promotion display than the gaming machine that ends the operation promotion display before the predetermined period elapses, and the player confirms the end of the operation promotion display and operates. It becomes easier to recognize that the operation for the unit has been accepted. Further, according to such a configuration, since the player is paying attention to the operation unit that emits light at his / her own hand when operating the operation unit, a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation on the operation unit was performed. The light emission of the operation unit is different from the specific mode before the player pays attention to the operation promotion display, rather than the gaming machine that changes the light emitting unit provided in the operation unit from the specific mode to the mode different from the specific mode. It becomes easy for the player to change, and it becomes easy for the player to confirm the change in the mode of the light emitting unit and recognize that the operation for the operation unit has been accepted.

[Embodiment 1]
In the gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A, the progress of the game is controlled by the gaming control board including the main control unit 41, and the effect control board including the sub control unit 91 controls the progress of the game. The production is controlled, and a drive power source is generated by the power supply board and supplied to each component. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a game progress operation unit 7 is connected to the main control unit 41, and a liquid crystal display 51, an effect LED 52, and a speaker are connected to the sub control unit 91. 53, 54 and the effect switch 56 are connected. These effect devices 51 to 54 are driven based on the control by the sub control unit 91.

When the power supply to the gaming machine 1 is started, the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 each start the activation process. The main control unit 41 executes an initialization process or the like for controlling the game progress operation unit 7 in the activation process. The game progress operation unit 7 is, for example, in the case of a slot machine, a bet number setting button that can set the bet number, a start switch for starting the rotation of the reel, a stop switch for stopping the reel, and the like. Yes, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, it is a ball striking operation handle for launching a gaming ball. When the activation process is completed, the main control unit 41 enables normal control for advancing the game by enabling the reception of operations to the game progress operation unit 7, and the player can perform the game progress operation unit 7. It is possible to advance the game by operation. At this time, the main control unit 41 transmits a start command indicating the start of normal control to the sub control unit 91.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 executes initialization processing and the like of the liquid crystal display 51 and the like in the activation processing. Further, when the sub control unit 91 finishes the execution of the initialization process and receives the start command from the main control unit 41, the liquid crystal display 51 displays that the main control unit 41 is under normal control (for example,). Display the background image, etc.). The main control unit 41 transmits various commands according to the progress of the game, and the sub control unit 91 controls the effect based on the control information of the commands received from the main control unit 41. The effect is performed using, for example, a liquid crystal display 51, an effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, an effect switch 56, and the like. The effect LED 52 of the present embodiment is provided above, to the left and to the right of the liquid crystal display 51, and to the left and right of the effect switch 56, respectively, on the lower panel below the effect switch 56. Is also provided.

Further, the effect switch 56 of the present embodiment is provided with an effect switch lamp (not shown). The effect switch lamp of the present embodiment is a contacted portion (in other words, a portion that is dented when pressed by the player's hand), which is a portion touched by the player when the player operates the effect switch 56. It is provided in the pressed portion), and the contacted portion (pressed portion) can emit light. The effect switch lamp is not limited to the one in which the contacted portion (pressed portion) of the effect switch 56 can emit light, and for example, the frame portion of the effect switch 56 (in other words, the state surrounding the operation unit). The frame part (supported part supported by the front door) provided in the support part which is the part supported by, the guide part which is the guide part when the operation part is dented or restored, and the supported part supported by the front door. The support portion, the guide portion, and the supported portion) may be capable of emitting light.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting of the effect switch lamp in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 2, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image is displayed (display / non-display), and whether or not the effect switch lamp is lit. Indicates the presence / absence (lighting / extinguishing) and the presence / absence of specific display (display / non-display). Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the timing at which the event occurs is indicated by t (t1, t2, ...).

As shown in FIG. 2, before t1, the sub control unit 91 receives the operation of the effect switch 56. In addition, for example, in the case of a slot machine, the operation reception of the effect switch 56 may be started after the operation of the start switch or the stop switch, after the start of reel rotation, and after the first stop to the third stop of the reel. , For pachinko gaming machines, start before the start of variable display of special symbols (before the start of the special figure game), during variable display (during the special figure game), or after the end of the variable display (after the end of the special figure game). May be good. In particular, after the operation on the effect switch 56 is performed, it is highly likely that the specific display described later is performed when the effect result such as the fanning effect is shown (when the conclusion is reached), and the effect switch 56 is used. For example, in the case of a slot machine, the operation reception is preferably started before and after the third stop, and in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, it may be started before and after the end of the variable display of the special symbol (the end of the special figure game). preferable.

Further, when the operation of the effect switch 56 is being accepted, the sub control unit 91 not only displays the effect switch image (image of the effect switch 56) on the liquid crystal display 51, but also displays the effect switch 56. Turn on the production switch lamp. The effect switch image of the present embodiment is an image of the effect switch 56 in a state where the effect switch lamp is lit (see FIG. 3).

Further, in t1, when the player operates the effect switch 56, the sub control unit 91 ends the operation acceptance of the effect switch 56. At this time, the sub control unit 91 turns off the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 and starts the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51. The specific display is a display corresponding to the operation of the effect switch 56. For example, in the case of a slot machine, whether or not the specific display is controlled to an advantageous state such as an internal lottery result suggestion display, a bonus, AT (assist time), CZ (chance zone), or an additional special zone in AT. It may be a display for notifying the lottery result, and in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, it is a display for notifying the lottery result as to whether or not it is controlled to an advantageous state such as super reach development or a big hit or a small hit. May be good.

On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 did not end the display of the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t1, and a predetermined period (about 0.7 seconds) has elapsed since the operation for the effect switch 56 was performed. It ends at t2. That is, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image after a predetermined period has elapsed from the extinguishing of the effect switch lamp.

Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, consider a case where the operation reception of the effect switch 56 is started while the background image (for example, the image of two mountains) is being displayed. At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the effect switch image together with the background image, and the effect switch 56 turns on the effect switch lamp. Further, when the player operates the effect switch 56, the liquid crystal display 51 changes from the display of the background image to the specific display (for example, the display of the character image of "chance !!"), and the effect switch. At 56, the effect switch lamp is turned off. On the other hand, at this time, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the effect switch image, and the effect switch image is displayed together with the specific display. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display is continued.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 and the effect switch during the acceptance period of the operation of the effect switch 56. By turning on the effect switch lamp of 56, the operation of the effect switch 56 is urged. Further, the sub-control unit 91 starts the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed during the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 after a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, while before the predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed. Turn off the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56.

By doing so, the player pays attention to the effect switch 56 that emits light at his / her hand when operating the effect switch 56, and then pays attention to the display of the effect switch image. Ends the display of the effect switch image before the predetermined period elapses after the operation for It becomes difficult. As a result, it becomes easy for the player to confirm the end of the display of the effect switch image and recognize that the operation on the effect switch 56 has been accepted. Further, by doing so, the player is paying attention to the effect switch 56 that emits light at his / her own hand when operating the effect switch 56, so that after the operation for the effect switch is performed. It becomes easier for the player to turn off the effect switch lamp before the player pays attention to the display of the effect switch image, as compared with the game machine in which the effect switch lamp turns off after a predetermined period has elapsed. As a result, it becomes easy for the player to confirm that the effect switch lamp is turned off and to recognize that the operation on the effect switch 56 has been accepted.

In this embodiment, at least a predetermined period is set as a time for which an afterimage of the display of the effect switch image remains when the player pays attention to the effect switch 56 and then the attention shifts to the display of the effect switch image. Although it is set to about 0.7 seconds in advance, the predetermined period is longer than 0.7 seconds as long as it becomes difficult for the player to finish displaying the effect switch image before paying attention to the effect switch image display. It may be a short period or a period longer than 0.7 seconds. Even when the predetermined time is lengthened, it is preferable not to display the effect switch image for an excessively long time.

In the present embodiment, the display of the effect switch image is terminated at t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, but the timing for ending the display of the effect switch image is after the predetermined period has elapsed. The timing may be later than t2.
Further, in the present embodiment, the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 is turned off at t1 when the operation is performed, but the timing for turning off the effect switch lamp may be before the lapse of a predetermined period, and from t1. It may be any timing up to t2.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 starts the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 before a predetermined period elapses after the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed.
By doing so, even if the effect switch image is displayed when the operation is performed, the specific display can be started promptly.
In the present embodiment, the specific display is started at t1 where the operation is performed, but the timing for starting the specific display may be any timing from t1 to t2 as long as the predetermined period has not elapsed. May be good.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 operates the effect switch 56 by lighting the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 during the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56. On the other hand, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 is turned off.
By doing so, the player can intuitively recognize that the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 has been completed and that the operation acceptance has been completed. Further, by doing so, the effect switch lamp is turned on while the effect switch image is being displayed, and the effect switch 56 is operated before the predetermined period elapses. Since the lamp goes off, the effect switch lamp does not turn on when the effect switch image is displayed. The effect switch lamp turns off before a predetermined period has elapsed after the operation on the game machine or operation unit is performed. It becomes easier for the player to confirm that the effect switch lamp changes from lighting to extinguishing and to recognize that the operation for the operation unit has been accepted, as compared with the gaming machine that does not.

In addition, as in the present embodiment, in order for the player to intuitively recognize that the acceptance of the operation has been completed, the effect switch lamp is turned off when the effect switch 56 is operated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the brightness of the effect switch lamp may be lower than when the effect switch lamp is lit during the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56.

In particular, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the display of the effect switch image is an image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is lit.
By doing so, the player who confirmed the display of the effect switch image rather than the game machine that displays the effect switch image that does not display the image of the effect switch that the effect switch lamp is lit. Is urged to operate the effect switch 56, which makes it easier to recognize.

In the present embodiment, the still image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is lit is displayed as the display of the effect switch image, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect switch lamp is lit. It may be the display of a moving image that repeats the enlarged display / reduced display of the image of the effect switch 56. In this case, the sub control unit 91 may pause the moving image display of the effect switch image to display the still image when the operation is performed during the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56. When the display of the effect switch image is a moving image display, not only the moving image display but also the still image display is included in the "operation promotion display" in the present application.

In the present embodiment, only the image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is lit is displayed as the display of the effect switch image, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the image of the effect switch 56 is displayed. You may add an image to decorate the surroundings.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable to display the image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is lit as the effect switch image display, but the effect switch lamp is displayed as the effect switch image. It is not necessary to display the image of the effect switch 56 in which is lit.

[Embodiment 2]
In the first embodiment, the lighting mode of the effect switch lamp is not changed, but the lighting mode may be changed. Hereinafter, the second embodiment in which the lighting mode of the effect switch lamp changes from the first mode to the second mode will be described.
In the present embodiment, the detailed description of the portion having the same configuration and processing as that of the first embodiment will be omitted, and the portion different from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting of the effect switch lamp in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 4, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image is displayed (display / non-display), and whether or not the effect switch lamp is lit. The presence / absence (lighting / extinguishing), the presence / absence of a specific display, and the display mode (display / non-display in the first mode / display / non-display in the second mode) are shown.

As shown in FIG. 4, at t1, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed and the operation reception of the effect switch 56 is terminated, the sub control unit 91 turns off the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56. At the same time, the specific display is started in the first aspect on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, in t3 after t2, the sub-control unit 91 changes the display mode of the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 from the first mode to the second mode. That is, the sub-control unit 91 changes the display mode of the specific display from the first mode to the second mode after the display of the effect switch image is terminated after a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation of the effect switch 56 was performed. I'm changing.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the background image and the effect switch image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the effect switch 56 is operated while the effect switch lamp is lit, the liquid crystal display 51 is operated. In the display 51, the display of the background image is changed to the specific display of the first aspect (for example, the display of the character image of "!!!"). At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the effect switch image, and the effect switch image is displayed together with the specific display of the first aspect. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display of the first aspect is performed, and then the display mode of the specific display is performed. Is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect (for example, display of a character image of "bonus confirmed !!").

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the display mode of the specific display includes the first mode and the second mode, and the sub control unit 91 operates the effect switch 56. After the specific display is started in the first aspect before the predetermined period elapses after the execution, the display mode of the specific display is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect after the predetermined period elapses.
By doing so, the display mode of the specific display changes from the first mode to the second mode when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, so that the display mode of the specific display changes from the first mode to the second mode. It is possible to raise the player's attention to the second aspect rather than the gaming machine that does not change to.

In the present embodiment, the character image of "!!!" is displayed when the specific display is performed in the first aspect, but the specific display in the first aspect is not limited to this, and for example, the shutter. Displays a moving image, closes an accessory (shutter member, sub-liquid crystal display, etc.) that can be opened and closed on the front of the liquid crystal display 51, turns on the lamp of the accessory, and displays the lamp. The lighting mode may be changed.
In the present embodiment, the specific display is started in the first aspect in t1 where the operation is performed, but the timing for starting the specific display in the first aspect may be before the lapse of a predetermined period, and t1 to t2. It may be any timing up to.
In the present embodiment, the display mode of the specific display is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect in t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, but the timing for changing the display mode of the specific display is the predetermined period. It may be after the lapse of time, and it may be the timing after t2.

In this embodiment, the display mode of the specific display is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect in t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, but the display mode of the specific display is changed after the predetermined period has elapsed. As long as there is a timing to change, the display mode of the specific display may be changed before the predetermined period elapses. For example, even if the display mode of the specific display is changed from the first mode to the second mode at an arbitrary timing from t1 to t2, and then the display mode of the specific display is changed from the second mode to the third mode after t2. good. Further, after changing the display mode of the specific display to the third aspect, the display mode of the specific display may be continuously changed to the fourth aspect, the fifth aspect, .... Therefore, the display mode of the specific display may be changed a plurality of times from the first mode to the display mode after the third mode at any timing from t1 to t2.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display mode of the specific display is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect in t2 when a predetermined period has passed since the operation was performed. For example, the specific display is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect. After changing the display mode of the specific display, the display mode of the specific display may be further changed from the second aspect to the third aspect. Further, after changing the display mode of the specific display to the third aspect, the display mode of the specific display may be continuously changed to the fourth aspect, the fifth aspect, .... Therefore, the display mode of the specific display may be changed a plurality of times from the second mode to the display mode after the third mode at any timing after t2.

[Embodiment 3]
In the first and second embodiments, the specific display is started before the predetermined period elapses after the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed, but the specific display may be started after the predetermined period elapses. Hereinafter, the third embodiment in which the specific display is started after the predetermined period has elapsed will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first and second embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the first and second embodiments will be mainly described.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting of the effect switch lamp in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The timing chart shown in FIG. 6 is the same as the timing chart of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), and whether or not the effect switch image is displayed. (Display / non-display), whether or not the effect switch lamp is lit (on / off), and whether or not a specific display is displayed (display / non-display) are shown.

As shown in FIG. 6, at t1, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed and the operation reception of the effect switch 56 is terminated, the sub control unit 91 turns off the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56. On the other hand, the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 is not started, but the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 is started at t2. That is, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image and starts the display of the specific display after a predetermined period has elapsed from the operation of the effect switch 56.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, an operation on the effect switch 56 is performed while the background image and the effect switch image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the effect switch lamp is lit on the effect switch 56. Even if it is performed, the display of the background image and the effect switch image is continued on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image ends on the liquid crystal display 51 and the specific display (for example, the display of the character image of "chance !!") is started. ..

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 after a predetermined period has elapsed from the operation of the effect switch 56. Start.
By doing so, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the display of the effect switch image ends and the specific display starts, so that a predetermined period after the operation for the effect switch is performed is performed. It is possible to make it easier for the player to pay attention to the display of the effect switch image to the specific display than to the game machine that starts the specific display before the elapse, and it is possible to increase the player's attention to the specific display.
In the present embodiment, the specific display is started at t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, but the timing for starting the specific display may be after the predetermined period has elapsed, and is later than t2. It may be timing.

[Embodiment 4]
In the above-described first to third embodiments, the operation of the effect switch 56 is urged by displaying the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 during the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56, but the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed. During the reception period, the liquid crystal display 51 may display other images prompting the operation of the effect switch 56. Hereinafter, the third embodiment for displaying the reception period suggestion image described later on the liquid crystal display 51 will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to third embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the first to third embodiments will be mainly described.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting of the effect switch lamp in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. The timing chart shown in FIG. 8 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (reception / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image are displayed (display / non-display), and for the effect. Indicates whether the switch lamp is lit (on / off), whether a specific display is displayed (display / non-display), and whether the meter of the reception period suggestion image is changed (change / stop).

As shown in FIG. 8, before t1, the sub-control unit 91 receives not only the effect switch image (image of the effect switch 56) but also the reception period suggestion image (operation reception for the effect switch 56) on the liquid crystal display 51. An image suggesting the period) is also displayed. The reception period suggestion image of the present embodiment is provided below the effect switch image, and the scale amount corresponding to the remaining period of the reception period (for example, 5 seconds) of the effect switch 56 set in advance is set. It is an image of a horizontally long bar-shaped meter shown. For example, the sub-control unit 91 displays an image of a meter of 100% (5 scales) as a reception period suggestion image if the remaining period is 5 seconds, and 20% (1 scale) every time the remaining period elapses for 1 second. ) Displays an image of the meter that has decreased by a factor (see FIG. 9). That is, the sub-control unit 91 reduces the scale of the image of the meter by one every time one second elapses from the start of displaying the reception period suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51. In this embodiment, since the reception period is set to be finite, for example, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, it is easy to apply it during a special figure fluctuation game in which a display period is set in advance, but the length of the period. The configuration of this embodiment can be applied even when is not set in advance. For example, the configuration of the present embodiment may be applied in the period from the end of the game to the start of the next game in which the length of the period is not particularly set in the slot machine.

Further, at t1, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed and the operation reception of the effect switch 56 is terminated, the sub control unit 91 turns off the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 and displays the liquid crystal display. The specific display at 51 is started. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 stops the change (decrease in the scale) of the reception period suggestion image without ending the display of the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t1. Then, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation on the effect switch 56 was performed. That is, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image after a predetermined period has elapsed from the extinguishing of the effect switch lamp.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the background image, the effect switch image, and the reception period suggestion image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the effect switch 56 is turned on for the effect. When the operation for the switch 56 is performed, the display of the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image is continued on the liquid crystal display 51, and the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image in which the change of the meter is stopped are displayed together with the specific display. Is displayed. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image ends on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display continues.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the reception period suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51 during the reception period of the operation of the effect switch 56, and receives the reception. The reception period is suggested by changing the meter according to the remaining period of the period. Then, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed by the time when the reception period elapses, the sub control unit 91 stops the change of the meter on the liquid crystal display 51 until the predetermined period elapses, and the predetermined period elapses. After that, the display of the effect switch image is finished and the display of the reception period suggestion image is also finished.

By doing so, the reception period is accepted after the player pays attention to the display of the production switch image rather than the gaming machine that changes the meter of the reception period suggestion image from the operation of the production switch to the elapse of a predetermined period. After confirming that the display of the period suggestion image does not change, it becomes easy to recognize that the operation on the effect switch 56 has been accepted.
The display of the reception period suggestion image is included not only in the "reception period suggestion display" in the present application but also in the "operation promotion display". Further, the display of the reception period suggestion image is a moving image display in which the meter changes, but not only the moving image display in which the meter changes but also the still image display in which the meter change is stopped is the "reception period suggestion display" in the present application. ] And "Operation promotion display".

In the present embodiment, the display of the reception period suggestion image is terminated at t2 when the predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, but the timing for ending the display of the reception period suggestion image is after the predetermined period has elapsed. The timing may be later than t2. Even in this case, in order to make it easier for the player to recognize that the operation on the effect switch 56 has been accepted and to prevent the display of the acceptance period suggestion image from being performed for an excessively long time, the effect switch image is used together. It is preferable to end the display of the reception period suggestion image.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable to stop the change of the meter at t1 where the operation is performed, but the timing of stopping the change of the meter may be before the lapse of a predetermined period, from t1 to t2. It may be any timing of.

In the present embodiment, the display of the reception period suggestion image is terminated after a predetermined period has elapsed from the operation, but for example, even if the reception period suggestion image is terminated at t1 where the operation is performed. good. In this case, since the reception period suggestion image is not displayed in the predetermined period, it is not necessary to stop the change of the meter. Further, for example, the display of the reception period suggestion image may be terminated at any timing from t1 to t2. In this case, it is preferable to stop the change of the meter from t1 until the display of the suggestion period suggestion image is finished.

[Embodiment 5]
In the above-described first to fourth embodiments, the effect switch lamp is turned off when the effect switch 56 is operated during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56, but the effect switch lamp does not have to be turned off. .. Hereinafter, the fifth embodiment will be described in which the mode of the light emitting unit of the effect switch lamp is changed when the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to fourth embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the first to fourth embodiments will be mainly described.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting of the effect switch lamp in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. The timing chart shown in FIG. 10 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (reception / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image are displayed (display / non-display), and for the effect. Indicates the lighting mode of the switch lamp (blue lighting / rainbow color lighting) and the presence / absence of specific display (display / non-display).

As shown in FIG. 10, before t1, the sub control unit 91 lights the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 in blue (predetermined color). The effect switch image of the present embodiment is an image of the effect switch 56 in a state where the effect switch lamp is lit in blue. Further, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed in t1, the sub control unit 91 changes the lighting color of the effect switch lamp in the effect switch 56 from blue to rainbow color (for example, purple → blue → light blue → Lights in the order of green → yellow → orange → red → purple →…). The specific display of the present embodiment is a display for notifying that the control is controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a specific display of the advantageous state winning notification). That is, in the present embodiment, the lighting color of the effect switch lamp is changed from blue to rainbow color when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed.

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 does not end the display of the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t1, but ends at t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation for the effect switch 56 was performed. That is, the sub control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image after a predetermined period has elapsed from the extinguishing of the effect switch lamp.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the background image and the effect switch image (the image of the effect switch 56 lit in blue) are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the effect switch lamp is lit in blue. When the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed in the state, the display of the background image is changed to the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification (for example, the display of the character image of "bonus confirmed !!") on the liquid crystal display 51. In the effect switch 56, the lighting color of the effect switch lamp is changed from blue to rainbow color. At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the effect switch image, and the effect switch image is duplicated on the front side of the specific display. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display is continued.

As described above, according to the game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 displays a display indicating that it is advantageous for the player, such as notifying that the specific display is controlled to an advantageous state. When the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the effect switch 56 changes the lighting color of the effect switch lamp from blue to rainbow color.
By doing so, the effect switch lamp is turned on in blue while the effect switch image is being displayed, and the effect switch lamp is turned on before a predetermined period has elapsed after the operation on the operation unit is performed. Since it lights up while changing to the rainbow color, the effect switch lamp is lit in the specified color while the effect switch image is being displayed, and before the specified period elapses after the operation on the effect switch is performed. It becomes easier for the player to recognize that the effect switch lamp has an advantage over a game machine that does not light while changing between a plurality of colors such as a rainbow color.

In the present embodiment, the effect switch lamp is lit in blue during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect switch lamp is lit in any color unless it is a plurality of colors such as a rainbow color. You may let me.
In the present embodiment, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the effect switch lamp is turned on in a rainbow color, but it may be emitted while changing between a plurality of colors, for example, red. It may emit light repeatedly with blue.

In the present embodiment, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is lit in blue is displayed as it is without changing the effect switch image. The switch image may be changed to the image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is lit in rainbow color.
In the present embodiment, after the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the display of the effect switch image is duplicated on the front side of the specific display, but the specific display is before the display of the effect switch image. It may overlap on the side.

In the present embodiment, the lighting color of the effect switch lamp is changed from blue to rainbow color when the effect switch 56 is operated, but the effect switch 56 is operated after the effect switch 56 is operated. The lighting color of the lamp may be changed a plurality of times. In this case, for example, if the display mode of the specific display is changed from the first mode to the second mode as in the second embodiment, the lighting color of the effect switch lamp is changed to blue in conjunction with the change of the display mode of the specific display. , Red, and rainbow colors may be changed twice in this order. Further, as described above, when the display mode of the specific display is continuously changed twice or more until the third and subsequent modes, the lighting color of the effect switch lamp is also 3 in conjunction with the change of the display mode of the specific display. You may keep changing it more than once.

[Embodiment 6]
In the above embodiments 1 to 5, the liquid crystal display 51 and the effect switch 56 are controlled when the effect switch 56 is operated during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56, but the liquid crystal display 51 and the effect switch 56 are used for other effects. You may control the effect device. Hereinafter, the sixth embodiment for controlling the effect LED 52 when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56 will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to fifth embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the first to fifth embodiments will be mainly described.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting of the effect switch lamp and the effect LED 52 in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. The timing chart shown in FIG. 12 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (reception / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image and the reception period suggestion image are displayed (display / non-display), and for the effect. Indicates whether or not the switch lamp is lit (on / off), whether or not a specific display is displayed (display / non-display), and whether or not the effect LED 52 is lit (on / off).

As shown in FIG. 12, before t1, the sub control unit 91 turns on the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56, while turning off the effect LED 52. Further, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed in t1, the sub control unit 91 turns off the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56, while turning on the effect effect LED 52. The specific display of the present embodiment is a display notifying that the control is controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a specific display of the advantageous state winning notification), similarly to the specific display of the fifth embodiment. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect effect LED 52 is turned on when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed, and the effect effect LED 52 is not turned on when the specific display other than the advantageous state winning notification is performed.

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 does not end the display of the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t1, but ends at t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation for the effect switch 56 was performed. That is, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image after a predetermined period has elapsed from the extinguishing of the effect switch lamp and the lighting of the effect effect LED 52.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the background image and the effect switch image, and the effect switch 56 operates the effect switch 56 while the effect switch lamp is lit. When this is done, the display of the background image is changed to the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification (for example, the display of the character image of "bonus confirmed !!") on the liquid crystal display 51, and the effect switch 56 is the effect switch. The lamp is turned off and the effect LED 52 is turned on. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, not only the left and right effect LED 52s of the effect switch 56 are lit, but also the effect LEDs 52 above, left, and right of the liquid crystal display 51 and the like. The effect LED 52 on the lower panel also lights up. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and the specific display and the effect LED 52 are continuously lit.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the effect LED 52 is provided around the effect switch 56, and the sub control unit 91 is in the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56. The effect LED 52 is turned on before a predetermined period has elapsed after the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed.

By doing so, since the player is paying attention to the effect switch 56 that emits light at his / her own hand when operating the effect switch 56, a predetermined period after the operation for the effect switch is performed. It becomes easier for the player to turn on the effect LED 52 before the player pays attention to the display of the effect switch image, rather than the game machine that lights the effect LED provided around the effect switch after the lapse of time. It becomes easy to recognize that the operation on the effect switch 56 has been accepted by recognizing the lighting of the effect LED 52 provided on the left or right side of the switch 56 and the effect LED 52 provided on the lower panel.

Further, by doing so, the player pays attention to the effect switch 56 that emits light at his / her own hand when operating the effect switch 56, and then pays attention to the display of the effect switch image. The effect before the player pays attention to the display of the effect switch image rather than the game machine that lights the effect LED provided around the liquid crystal display after a predetermined period has passed since the operation of the switch was performed. It becomes easier to turn on the LED 52, and it becomes easier for the player to recognize the lighting of the effect LED 52 provided above, to the left, or to the right of the liquid crystal display 51 and to recognize that the operation on the effect switch 56 has been accepted. Become.

In the present embodiment, the effect LED 52 is provided on the left, right, and lower panels of the effect switch 56, and above, to the left, and to the right of the liquid crystal display 51, respectively. If one or more are provided in the periphery, a plurality of effect LED 52s may be omitted. For example, if the effect LED 52 is provided on the left or right side of the effect switch 56, the other effect LED 52 may be omitted.
In the present embodiment, the effect LED 52 is turned on at t1 when the operation is performed, but the timing for turning on the effect LED 52 may be before a predetermined period elapses, and any timing from t1 to t2 may be set. May be.

[Embodiment 7]
In the above-described first to sixth embodiments, the effect switch lamp is turned on during the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56, but the effect switch lamp may be caused to emit light in other light emitting modes. Hereinafter, the seventh embodiment in which the effect switch lamp is blinked during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56 will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to sixth embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the above-described first to sixth embodiments will be mainly described.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the blinking of the effect switch lamp in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 14, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image is displayed (display / non-display), and the effect switch lamp blinks. Indicates the presence / absence (blinking / extinguishing) and the presence / absence of specific display (display / non-display).

As shown in FIG. 14, before t1, the sub control unit 91 blinks the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56. The effect switch image of the present embodiment is an image of the effect switch 56 in a state where the effect switch lamp is blinking (see FIG. 15). Further, in the present embodiment, the blinking of the effect switch lamp and the blinking display of the lamp of the effect switch image are synchronized (the timing of light emission / extinguishing is synchronized).

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, an operation on the effect switch 56 is performed in a state where the background image and the effect switch image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and the effect switch lamp is blinking on the effect switch 56. When this is done, the liquid crystal display 51 is changed from the background image display to the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification (for example, the display of the character image of "chance !!"), and the effect switch 56 is the effect switch lamp. Is turned off.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 blinks the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 during the reception period of the operation of the effect switch 56 for the effect. While prompting the operation of the switch 56, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 is turned off.
By doing so, the player can intuitively recognize that the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 has been completed and that the operation acceptance has been completed. Further, by doing so, the effect switch lamp blinks while the effect switch image is being displayed, and the effect switch 56 is operated before the predetermined period elapses. Since the lamp goes off, the effect switch lamp does not blink when the effect switch image is displayed. The effect switch lamp turns off before a predetermined period has elapsed after the operation on the game machine or operation unit is performed. It becomes easier for the player to confirm that the effect switch lamp changes from blinking to extinguished and to recognize that the operation for the operation unit has been accepted, as compared with the game machine that does not.

In particular, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the display of the effect switch image is an image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is blinking.
By doing so, the player who confirmed the display of the production switch image rather than the game machine that displays the production switch image that does not display the production switch image in which the production switch lamp is blinking. Is urged to operate the effect switch 56, which makes it easier to recognize.
Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the blinking display of the lamp of the effect switch image is synchronized with the blinking of the effect switch lamp.
By doing so, the blinking display of the lamp of the effect switch image is not synchronized with the blinking of the effect switch lamp. It becomes easier to get interested in blinking, and the interest of the production improves.

As in the present embodiment, it is preferable to display the image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is blinking as the effect switch image display, but the effect switch lamp is displayed as the effect switch image. It is not necessary to display the image of the effect switch 56 in which is blinking. For example, as the display of the effect switch image, the image of the effect switch 56 in which the effect switch lamp is lit may be displayed.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the blinking display of the lamp of the effect switch image is synchronized with the blinking of the effect switch lamp, but the blinking display of the lamp of the effect switch image is the effect switch lamp. It does not have to be synchronized with the blinking. For example, there may be a period when the effect switch image lamp is not emitting light when the effect switch image lamp is emitting light, and the effect switch image lamp emits light. There may be a period during which the effect switch lamp is lit when it is not displayed.

[Embodiment 8]
In the above embodiments 1 to 7, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, and the effect switch 56 are controlled when the effect switch 56 is operated during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56, but other The production device used for the production may be controlled. Hereinafter, the eighth embodiment for controlling the movable accessory 201 described later when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56 will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to seventh embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the above-described first to seventh embodiments will be mainly described.

As shown in FIG. 16A, the movable accessory 201 is connected to the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment, and the movable accessory 201 is driven based on the control by the sub control unit 91.

The movable accessory 201 of the present embodiment has an initial position provided below the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 16B) and an image display position covering the front of the lower part of the liquid crystal display 51 (effect switch). It is possible to move between the position where the image is displayed (see FIG. 16C). Further, the movable accessory 201 is provided with an accessory lamp (not shown). In this embodiment, since the effect using the movement of the movable accessory 201 is executed, it is easy to apply when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed as in the fifth and sixth embodiments. The configuration of this embodiment can be applied even when a specific display other than the advantageous state winning notification is performed. For example, the configuration of the present embodiment may be applied when the expectation that the advantageous state winning notification is performed is high.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51, the movement of the movable accessory, and the lighting of the accessory lamp will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. The timing chart shown in FIG. 17 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image is displayed (display / non-display), and the stop position of the movable accessory (display / non-display). Indicates the initial position / image display position) and the presence / absence of specific display (display / non-display in the first aspect / display / non-display in the second aspect).

As shown in FIG. 17, before t1, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the accessory lamp in a state where the movable accessory 201 is stopped at the initial position. Further, at t1, when the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed and the operation reception of the effect switch 56 is terminated, the sub control unit 91 causes the movable accessory 201 to start moving from the initial position to the image display position. At the same time, the specific display is started in the first aspect on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, at t3 after t2, the sub-control unit 91 turns on the accessory lamp in a state where the movable accessory 201 has finished moving and stopped at the image display position, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays the specific display. The display mode of is changed from the first mode to the second mode. That is, the sub-control unit 91 turns on the accessory lamp at the image display position after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the operation of the effect switch 56, and changes the display mode of the specific display from the first mode to the second mode. I am changing.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed while the background image and the effect switch image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The display is changed to the specific display of the first aspect (for example, the display of a character image of "!!!"). At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the effect switch image, and the effect switch image is displayed together with the specific display of the first aspect. Further, at this time, the movable accessory starts moving from the initial position to the image display position with the accessory lamp turned off. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display of the first aspect is performed, and then the display mode of the specific display is performed. Is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect (for example, display of a character image of "bonus confirmed !!"). At this time, the accessory lamp is turned on in a state where the movable accessory has finished moving and stopped at the image display position.

However, the effect device used for other effects may be controlled. Hereinafter, the ninth embodiment will be described in which the outputs of the speakers 53 and 54 are controlled when the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed during the reception period of the operation of the effect switch 56.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to eighth embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the first to eighth embodiments will be mainly described.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the outputs of the speakers 53 and 54 in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. The timing chart shown in FIG. 19 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image is displayed (display / non-display), and the outputs of the speakers 53 and 54. The presence / absence (first specific sound / second specific sound / silence) and the presence / absence of specific display (displayed in the first aspect, displayed / hidden in the second aspect) are shown.

As shown in FIG. 19, before t1, the sub control unit 91 does not output the specific sound to the speakers 53 and 54, and controls the speaker 53 and 54 in a silent state. Further, at t1, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed and the operation reception of the effect switch 56 is terminated, the sub control unit 91 sends the first specific sound (for example, "ping pong") to the speakers 53 and 54. The output of the voice) is started, and the specific display is started in the first aspect on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, at t3 after t2, the sub-control unit 91 starts the output of the second specific sound (for example, the voice of "Congratulations") to the speakers 53 and 54, and at the same time, the specific display is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The display mode is changed from the first mode to the second mode. That is, the sub control unit 91 changes the output of the specific sound from the first specific sound to the second specific sound after a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed, and sets the display mode of the specific display. It is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect.

In the present embodiment, the specific sound file (sound file recording the specific sound, sound source file) is one sound file recorded in a state where the first specific sound to the second specific sound are connected, and is a sub. The control unit 91 is preset so that the first specific sound is switched to the second specific sound at t3 by outputting the specific sound from the speakers 53 and 54 based on the specific sound file at t1.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed while the background image and the effect switch image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The display is changed to the specific display of the first aspect (for example, the display of a character image of "!!!"). At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the effect switch image, and the effect switch image is displayed together with the specific display of the first aspect. At this time, the speakers 53 and 54 start outputting the first specific sound from the silent state. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display of the first aspect is performed, and then the display mode of the specific display is performed. Is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect (for example, display of a character image of "bonus confirmed !!"). At this time, in the speakers 53 and 54, the output of the first specific sound is terminated and the output specific sound is changed from the first specific sound to the second specific sound.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 during the reception period of the operation of the effect switch 56 for the effect. The operation of the switch 56 is urged. Further, when the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed during the reception period of the operation of the effect switch 56, the sub control unit 91 starts the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 and starts the output of the specific sound to the speakers 53 and 54. Let me. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 after a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, while before the predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed. Starts the output of a specific sound.

By doing so, when the player operates the effect switch 56, he / she pays attention to the effect switch 56 at his / her own hand and then pays attention to the display of the effect switch image, so that the operation to the effect switch is performed. It is more difficult for the player to end the display of the effect switch image before the player pays attention to the display of the effect switch image than the game machine that ends the display of the effect switch image before the predetermined period elapses. As a result, it becomes easy for the player to confirm the end of the display of the effect switch image and recognize that the operation on the effect switch 56 has been accepted. Further, according to such a configuration, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the output of the specific sound is promptly started while the effect switch image is being displayed, so that the effect switch can be output. The effect switch 56 recognizes the output of the specific sound before the player pays attention to the display of the effect switch image, rather than the game machine that starts the output of the specific sound after a predetermined period has elapsed from the operation for. It becomes easier to recognize that the operation for is accepted.
In the present embodiment, the output of the specific sound is started at t1 where the operation is performed, but the timing of starting the output of the specific sound may be any time before the lapse of a predetermined period, and any of t1 to t2 can be started. It may be timing.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the display mode of the specific display includes the first mode and the second mode, and the sub control unit 91 is operated after the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed. After the specific display is started in the first aspect before the predetermined period elapses, the display mode of the specific display is changed from the first aspect to the second aspect after the predetermined period elapses. The specific sound includes a first specific sound and a second specific sound, and the sub-control unit 91 makes a first specific sound with respect to the speakers 53 and 54 when the specific display is performed in the first aspect. Is started, and the output of the second specific sound is started to the speakers 53 and 54 when the specific display is performed in the second aspect.
By doing so, it is possible to output a specific sound according to the display mode of the specific display, and since the specific display and the output of the specific sound are linked, the gaming machine in which the specific display and the output of the specific sound are not linked. It becomes easier for the player to be interested in the production using the specific display and the output of the specific sound, and the interest of the game is improved.
In the present embodiment, the specific sound is changed from the first specific sound to the second specific sound in conjunction with the change of the display mode of the specific display from the first mode to the second mode, as described above. If the display mode of the specific display is changed more than once until the third and subsequent modes, the specific sound is also changed twice or more until the third and subsequent specific sounds in conjunction with the change of the display mode of the specific display. You may try to continue.

It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, it is preferable to link the specific display and the output of the specific sound in order to make it easier for the player to be interested in the production using the specific display and the output of the specific sound. It is not necessary to link the specific display and the output of the specific sound. For example, if the specific display is performed in the first aspect after t1, the output of the first specific sound may be started before the specific display is performed in the first aspect from t1, and the specific display may be started in the second aspect. The output of the second specific sound may be started before it is performed. Further, for example, if the specific display is performed in the second mode by t2, the output of the first specific sound may be started by t2 after the specific display is performed in the second mode, and after t1. If the specific display is performed in the first aspect, the output of the second specific sound may be terminated from t1 before the specific display is performed in the first aspect.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 is based on one sound file (specific sound file) recorded in a state where the first specific sound to the second specific sound are connected. The speakers 53 and 54 are made to output the specific sound, and the change from the first specific sound to the second specific sound is performed at t3 in which the display mode of the specific display is changed.
By doing so, the specific sound can be output without controlling the timing of changing from the first specific sound to the second specific sound.

It should be noted that, as in the present embodiment, a state in which the first specific sound is connected to the second specific sound in order to output the specific sound without performing control for adjusting the timing of changing from the first specific sound to the second specific sound. It is preferable to output the specific sound based on one specific sound file recorded in, but the first specific sound and the second specific sound may be recorded in separate specific sound files. In this case, for example, in t3, the sub control unit 91 controls to change the output of the specific sound by changing from the specific sound file in which the first specific sound is recorded to the specific sound file in which the second specific sound is recorded. There is a need to do.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 does not output sound from the speakers 53 and 54 when displaying the effect switch image, and controls the sub-control unit 91 in a silent state. That is, the sub control unit 91 lowers the volume when the effect switch image is displayed as compared with the case where the effect switch image is not displayed.
By doing so, the display of the production switch image stands out more than the game machine that does not lower the volume than when the production switch image is not displayed when the production switch image is displayed (). It is possible to make it easier for the player to pay attention to it), and it is also possible to make the output of the specific sound after the display of the effect switch image is finished stand out (to make it easier for the player to pay attention to it).
In the present embodiment, the silent state is controlled when the effect switch image is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect switch image is displayed when the effect switch image is displayed. It suffices if the volume is lower than when not going.

At t2, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image on the liquid crystal display 51 ends.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 31 (A), if the first control is performed, the effect set effect is executed with the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and then the effect switch image. And an operation promotion image (for example, a character image of "press !!") is displayed. Further, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed while the background image, the effect switch image, and the operation promotion image are displayed, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image is continued on the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, the display of the background image is changed to the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification (for example, the display of the character image of "bonus confirmed !!"). Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display is continued.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 31B, if the second control is performed, the effect set effect is not executed from the state where the background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the effect switch image is displayed. An operation promotion image (for example, a character image of "press !!") is displayed. Further, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed while the background image, the effect switch image, and the operation promotion image are displayed, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image is continued on the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, the display of the background image is changed to the specific display (for example, the display of the character image of "chance !!"). Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image is terminated on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the specific display is continued.

In the present embodiment, if the second control is performed, if the first control is performed, the operation of the effect switch 56 is started at t7 when the execution period of the effect set effect has elapsed, and the liquid crystal is displayed. If the display 51 has started to display the effect switch image and the operation promotion image, but the effect set effect is not executed, the effect switch image and the operation promotion image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at t6. It may be started (see FIG. 32). That is, if the second control is performed, the timing of t6 for starting the execution of the effect set effect in the first control may be the timing of t7 for starting the acceptance of the operation of the effect switch 56.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the second control is performed, the sub control unit 91 specifically displays on the liquid crystal display 51 if the operation is not performed even after the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 has elapsed. Do not let you do.
The timing chart shown in FIG. 32 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image and the operation promotion image are displayed (display / non-display), and the second control. Indicates whether or not the effect set effect is executed (execution / non-execution) and whether or not a specific display is performed (display / non-display). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, if the second control is performed, the sub-control unit 91 is the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t8 when the operation acceptance period has elapsed from t7. And while ending the display of the operation promotion image, the specific display is not started.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 33, if the second control is performed, the effect set effect is not executed from the state where the background image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the effect switch image and the operation promotion are used. When the reception period elapses without operating the effect switch 56 while the image is displayed and the background image, the effect switch image, and the operation promotion image are displayed, the effect switch image and the effect switch image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The display of the operation promotion image is finished and the state returns to the state where only the background image is displayed.

On the other hand, when the first control is performed, the sub control unit 91 displays the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 regardless of whether or not the operation is performed by the time when the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 has elapsed. conduct.
The timing chart shown in FIG. 34 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), whether or not the effect switch image and the operation promotion image are displayed (display / non-display), and the first control. Indicates whether or not the effect set effect is executed (execution / non-execution) and whether or not a specific display is performed (display / non-display). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 34, if the first control is performed, the sub-control unit 91 is the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t8 when the operation acceptance period has elapsed from t7. And the display of the operation promotion image is terminated and the specific display is started.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 35 (A), if the first control is performed, the effect set effect is executed with the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and then the effect switch image is displayed. When the reception period elapses without operating the effect switch 56 while the operation promotion image is displayed and the background image, the effect switch image, and the operation promotion image are displayed, the liquid crystal display 51 is used for effect. The display of the switch image and the operation promotion image is terminated, and the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is displayed. After that, when the next game is started, the specific display ends and the display returns to the background image. At this time, the liquid crystal display 51 is in a state where not only the background image is displayed but also the special display (for example, the display of the character image of "~ bonus is being confirmed ~") is performed.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the operation promotion image on the liquid crystal display 51 during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56 for the effect. The operation for the switch 56 is urged. Further, the sub-control unit 91 increases the ratio of the first control being performed when displaying the operation promotion image as an opportunity to show the result of the game, while displaying the operation promotion image as an opportunity to start the game. Occasionally, the rate at which the second control is performed is increased.

By doing so, if the result of the game is shown later in the situation where the game is started, the game can proceed quickly by displaying the operation promotion image and the switch image for the effect without executing the effect set effect. Can be made to. In addition, by doing so, if the result of the game has already been shown, the result of the game will be shown by displaying the operation promotion image and the switch image for the effect after executing the effect set effect. The rate at which the first control is performed when displaying the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is not high. The second control is performed when the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is displayed as an opportunity for the game machine or the game to be started. It is possible to preferably increase the player's attention to the display of the operation promotion image and the effect switch image as compared with the game machine in which the rate of the operation is not high.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first control is always performed when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed by the operation on the effect switch 56, while the advantageous state is performed by the operation on the effect switch 56. The second control is always performed when a specific display other than the winning notification is performed.
By doing so, it is possible to adjust whether or not to execute the suggestion effect by changing the control performed according to the content of the notification, and the privilege such as the advantageous state winning notification is given by the operation with respect to the effect switch. The second control is performed when a notification different from the notification that the privilege is given by the operation on the game machine or the effect switch, which is not high in the ratio of the first control being performed when the notification to that effect is performed, is performed. It is possible to preferably increase the player's attention to the display of the operation promotion image and the effect switch image as compared with the game machine in which the ratio is not high.

In this embodiment, the first control is always performed when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed by the operation on the effect switch 56, and the specific display other than the advantageous state winning notification is performed by the operation on the effect switch 56. The second control is always performed when the second control is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first control does not necessarily have to be performed when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed, and the specific display other than the advantageous state winning notification is performed. Is not always performed when the second control is performed. In this case, the ratio of the first control being performed when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed by the operation on the effect switch 56 is high, and when the specific display other than the advantageous state winning notification is performed by the operation on the effect switch 56. It is preferable that the rate at which the second control is performed is high. For example, when the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification is performed, the first control may be performed with a selection rate of 80% and the second control may be performed with a selection rate of 20%. On the other hand, when the specific display other than the advantageous state winning notification is performed, the second control may be performed with a selection rate of 80% and the first control may be performed with a selection rate of 20%.

By doing so, it is possible to adjust whether or not to execute the suggestion effect by changing the ratio at which the first control and the second control are performed according to the content of the notification, and the privilege can be obtained by operating the effect switch. The ratio of the first control being performed when the notification to the effect of being granted is performed is not high. The second control is performed when a notification different from the notification to the effect that the privilege is granted by the operation on the game machine or the effect switch is performed. It is possible to preferably increase the player's attention to the display of the operation promotion image and the effect switch image as compared with the game machine in which the ratio of the operation promotion is not high.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 displays the operation promotion image and the effect switch image without performing the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51 after the second control is performed. When the reception period has elapsed without the operation of the effect switch 56 being performed, the liquid crystal display 51 does not perform the specific display.
By doing so, it is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being hindered.
In addition, as in the present embodiment, in order not to hinder the progress of the game, the operation for the effect switch 56 is not performed after the second control is performed and the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed. It is preferable not to perform the specific display when the reception period has elapsed, but after the second control is performed and the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is displayed, the operation to the effect switch 56 is not performed. The specific display may be displayed even when the reception period has passed. In this case, for example, the specific display may be performed only when notifying the player that it is advantageous to the player in the second control.

On the other hand, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is subjected to the first control, the effect set effect is executed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed. After that, when the reception period elapses without operating the effect switch 56, the liquid crystal display 51 performs a specific display of the advantageous state winning notification.
By doing so, it is possible to recognize that the specific display is performed and the player is advantageous when the notification that the player is advantageous, such as the notification of winning the advantageous state, is performed.

In the present embodiment, after the first control is performed and the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is displayed after the effect set effect is executed, the operation is performed when the reception period elapses without performing the operation on the effect switch 56. The specific display is performed in the same manner as when it was performed, but the specific display may not be performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 35 (B), the display of the background image may be returned to the display of the background image without the specific display of the advantageous state winning notification, and the special display may also be performed. That is, when the reception period has elapsed, the special display is not limited to the direct notification of the production result such that the specific display is performed as when the operation is performed, and the special display is performed as when the operation is performed. By doing so, it may be an indirect notification of the effect result so that the player can recognize that the specific display has been performed if the operation has been performed.

In this embodiment, after the first control is performed and the effect set effect is executed, the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed, and then the effect switch 56 is not operated and the reception period elapses. However, after the first control is performed and the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed after the effect set effect is executed, the reception period has elapsed without the operation on the effect switch 56. It is not necessary to make a specific display. In this case, there may be no indirect notification of the effect result so that the player can recognize that the specific display has been performed if the operation has been performed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being hindered.

In this embodiment, in order not to hinder the progress of the game, the effect switch is displayed after the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed without the second control being performed and the effect set effect being executed. The specific display is not performed when the reception period elapses without performing the operation for 56, but the result of the game is shown regardless of whether it is the first control or the second control. When displaying the operation promotion image as an opportunity to display the operation promotion image, the operation promotion switch 56 is displayed when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to start the game while the specific display is performed if the reception period elapses without the operation on the effect switch 56. If the reception period elapses without performing the operation for, the specific display may not be performed.

In this embodiment, when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to show the result of the game, the ratio of the first control being performed is increased, and when the operation promotion image is displayed as the opportunity to start the game, the second control is performed. Although the ratio of control is increased, the conditions such as increasing the ratio of performing the first control and increasing the ratio of performing the second control are not limited to this, and for example, the operation promotion image. In the operation promotion image, when the operation of the specific mode is prompted, the ratio of the first control being performed may be increased, and when the operation of the normal mode is promoted in the operation promotion image, the ratio of the second control being performed may be increased. For example, when the continuous striking operation or the long press operation of the effect switch 56 is urged in the operation promotion image, the first control may be performed with a selection rate of 80% and the second control may be performed with a selection rate of 20%, respectively, and the first control may be performed. It may be done at a rate of 100%. On the other hand, when one pressing operation of the effect switch 56 is urged in the operation promotion image, the second control may be performed with a selectivity of 80%, the first control may be performed with a selectivity of 20%, and the second control is 100. It may be done at a rate of%.

By doing so, it is possible to adjust whether or not to execute the effect set effect by changing the ratio at which the first control and the second control are performed according to the operation mode for prompting the effect switch 56. When the operation of a specific mode is prompted in the promotion image or the effect switch image, the ratio of the first control being performed is not high. The second when the operation of the normal mode is promoted in the operation promotion image or the effect switch image. It is possible to preferably increase the player's attention to the display of the operation promotion image and the effect switch image as compared with the game machine in which the control is not performed at a high rate.

Even in this case, as in the present embodiment, when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to show the result of the game, the ratio of the first control being performed increases and the operation is started as an opportunity to start the game. It is preferable that the ratio of the second control being performed when displaying the promoted image is high. For example, in the operation promotion image, when the continuous hitting operation or the long press operation of the effect switch 56 is urged, the ratio of controlling is increased as an opportunity to show the result of the game, while in the operation promotion image, the effect switch 56 is once. By increasing the ratio of performing control as an opportunity to start the game when the pressing operation is prompted, the ratio of performing the first control when displaying the operation promotion image as an opportunity to show the result of the game is increased. The rate at which the second control is performed when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to start the game may be increased.

In this embodiment, when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to show the result of the game, the ratio of the first control being performed is increased, and when the operation promotion image is displayed as the opportunity to start the game, the second control is performed. Although the ratio of control is increased, the conditions such as increasing the ratio of performing the first control and increasing the ratio of performing the second control are not limited to this, and for example, the effect switch. The ratio of the first control being performed when the movable accessory 201 is moved by the operation with respect to 56 is increased, and the ratio of the second control being performed when the movable accessory 201 is not moved by the operation with respect to the effect switch 56 is increased. May be good. For example, when the movable accessory 201 is moved by the operation of the effect switch 56 after the operation promotion image is displayed, the first control may be performed with a selectivity of 80% and the second control may be performed with a selectivity of 20%, respectively. Control may be performed at a rate of 100%. On the other hand, when the movable accessory 201 does not move due to the operation of the effect switch 56 after the operation promotion image is displayed, the second control may be performed with a selectivity of 80% and the first control may be performed with a selectivity of 20%, respectively. Control may be performed at a rate of 100%.

By doing so, the ratio of the first control and the second control is changed depending on whether or not the effect using the movable accessory 201, which takes a long time to physically move due to the operation, is executed. It is possible to adjust whether or not to execute the suggestion effect, and the rate at which the first control is performed when the movable accessory 201 is moved by the operation on the effect switch 56 is not high. The operation on the game machine or the effect switch 56. Therefore, the player's attention to the display of the operation promotion image and the effect switch image can be suitably increased as compared with the game machine in which the second control is not performed at a high rate when the movable accessory 201 does not move.

Even in this case, as in the present embodiment, when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to show the result of the game, the ratio of the first control being performed increases and the operation is started as an opportunity to start the game. It is preferable that the ratio of the second control being performed when displaying the promoted image is high. For example, when the movable accessory 201 moves, the ratio of performing control as an opportunity to show the result of the game is increased, while when the movable accessory 201 does not move, the ratio of performing control as an opportunity to start the game is increased. Then, the ratio of the first control being performed when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to show the result of the game is increased, and the second control is performed when the operation promotion image is displayed as the opportunity to start the game. The ratio may be increased.

In this embodiment, in order not to hinder the progress of the game, the effect switch is displayed after the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed without the second control being performed and the effect set effect being executed. The specific display is not performed when the reception period elapses without performing the operation for 56, but the specific display is not limited to this, and the movable accessory 201 is not limited to this, regardless of whether it is the first control or the second control. When moving, if the reception period elapses without operating the effect switch 56, a specific display is performed, while when the movable accessory 201 does not move, it is specified if the reception period elapses without operating the effect switch 56. It may not be displayed.

In this embodiment, when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity to show the result of the game, the ratio of the first control being performed is increased, and when the operation promotion image is displayed as the opportunity to start the game, the second control is performed. Although the rate at which control is performed is increased, the conditions for increasing the rate at which the first control is performed and the rate at which the second control is performed are not limited to this, and are not limited to this, for example, in a slot machine. If there is, the ratio of the first control is increased when the rare role (especially the role that requires the so-called push operation to win a prize, for example, cherry, watermelon) is not internally won, and the role is rare. When the internal winning is made, the rate at which the second control is performed may be increased. For example, when the rare role is not internally won, the first control may be performed at a selectivity of 80%, the second control may be performed at a selectivity of 20%, or the first control may be performed at a rate of 100%. .. On the other hand, when the rare role is internally won, the second control may be performed at a selection rate of 80%, the first control may be performed at a selection rate of 20%, or the second control may be performed at a rate of 100%. ..

By doing so, it is possible to adjust whether or not to execute the effect set effect by changing the ratio of the first control and the second control according to the internal lottery result, and the internal lottery result is a rare role. Display of operation promotion image and production switch image compared to a gaming machine in which the ratio of the first control is not high when the player is not elected or a gaming machine in which the ratio of the second control is not high when the rare combination is won. The player's attention to the game can be suitably increased. Further, by doing so, when the internal lottery result is a rare winning combination and a push is required, the ratio of the second control being performed can be increased to make it difficult to execute the effect set effect. Compared to a game machine where the second control is not performed at a high rate when the lottery result is a rare combination, for example, an operation promotion image by effect set production when the player has to make an effort to push the button after the lever is turned on. It is possible to refrain from appealing to the display of the effect switch image, and it is possible to reduce the feeling that the player is bothered by the effect set effect.

Even in this case, the ratio of the first control being performed when the operation promotion image is displayed as an opportunity (for example, at the time of the third stop) in which the result of the game is shown as in the present embodiment increases. It is preferable that the ratio of the second control being performed when the operation promotion image is displayed as the trigger for starting the game (for example, when the lever is turned on) is high. For example, by increasing the ratio of controlling when the lever is turned on when the rare role is won, and increasing the ratio of controlling when the third stop is performed when the rare role is not won, the first operation promotion image is displayed when the third stop is displayed. The rate at which control is performed may be increased, and the rate at which the second control is performed when the operation promotion image is displayed when the lever is turned on may be increased.

In this embodiment, in order not to hinder the progress of the game, the effect switch is displayed after the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed without the second control being performed and the effect set effect being executed. The specific display is not performed when the reception period elapses without performing the operation for 56, but it is not limited to this, and it is produced when the rare role is won regardless of whether it is the first control or the second control. If the reception period elapses without operating the switch 56 for production, the specific display will be displayed. On the other hand, if the rare role is not won, the specific display will not be performed if the operation for the production switch 56 is not performed and the reception period elapses. May be good.

[Embodiment 15]
In the above embodiment 14, the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are always displayed when the effect set effect is executed, but the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are not necessarily displayed when the effect set effect is executed. good. Hereinafter, the 15th embodiment in which the non-granting control described later, which does not display the operation promotion image or the effect switch image after the effect set effect is executed, will be described.
In the present embodiment, the detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to 14th embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the above-mentioned first to 14th embodiments will be mainly described.

In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the continuous effect, and in the continuous effect, there are cases where an operation opportunity for operating the effect switch 56 is given and a case where the operation opportunity is not given is specified. It is possible to control the situation. Here, the continuous production is an example of a fanning production that encourages whether or not a player is informed that it is advantageous to the player over a plurality of games. The continuous production of the present embodiment is a so-called battle production in which a ally character and an enemy character confront each other over a plurality of games, and a moving image of the battle is reproduced (displaying the moving image) on the liquid crystal display 51 and the speaker 53. It is a production that outputs a specific sound from 54.

Further, the sub-control unit 91 executes the effect set effect when the operation opportunity is not given in the specific situation, and then performs the non-granting control in which the operation promotion image is not displayed, while the effect set when the operation opportunity is given in the specific situation. After executing the effect, control at the time of giving to display the operation promotion image is performed. In the present embodiment, a situation is set in advance as a specific situation in which it is notified whether or not a privilege (for example, control to an advantageous state) is given in the continuous production.
Further, in the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 can also be controlled to a special situation in which an operation opportunity for operating the effect switch 56 is always given in the continuous effect, and is always given in the special situation. Perform time control. In the present embodiment, as a special situation, the degree of advantage of the privilege given in the continuous production (for example, the type of bonus in the case of a slot machine, the type of big hit in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, and the number of rounds of big hit) is notified. The situation is preset.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the outputs of the speakers 53 and 54 in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 36 to 40. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 36, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 in the non-assignment control is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), and whether or not the effect switch image and the operation promotion image are displayed in the non-assignment control. (Display / non-display), presence / absence of execution of effect set effect (execution / non-execution), status of video reproduction of continuous effect (play / pause), presence / absence of output of specific sound by speakers 53, 54 (specific sound)・ Silence) is shown.

As shown in FIG. 36, if non-assignment control is performed in a specific situation, before t6, the sub-control unit 91 reproduces a moving image of continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and the speakers 53 and 54. Outputs a specific sound from. Further, at t6, the sub-control unit 91 starts the execution of the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and temporarily stops the reproduction of the moving image of the continuous effect. Further, at t7, when the execution period of the effect set effect has elapsed from t6, the sub-control unit 91 ends the execution of the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and at the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 reproduces the moving image of the continuous effect. Cancel the pause and resume playback of the moving image. At this time, the sub control unit 91 does not start accepting the operation of the effect switch 56, and does not start displaying the effect switch image and the operation promotion image on the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 continues to output the specific sound from the speakers 53 and 54 even after t6.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 37, if the non-granting control is performed in a specific situation, the moving image of the continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, the ally character and the enemy character face each other and then the ally character). While the moving image that attacks the enemy character is played and the specific sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54, the moving image is paused (for example, the ally character and the enemy character face each other and "this is the last time". It is paused at the image with the characters "!!" displayed. At this time, on the liquid crystal display 51, after the effect set effect is executed, the pause of the moving image is released and the moving image (for example, after the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, the screen goes dark and "LOSE" is displayed. The moving image in which the characters of are displayed) is played. The output of the specific sound from the speakers 53 and 54 is not stopped, and is continued even when the moving image is paused.

In the present embodiment, the moving image in which the privilege is not given is reproduced when the non-granting control is performed, but the moving image in which the privilege is given is notified (for example, the ally character). When the moving image in which the character "WIN" is displayed after the enemy character is defeated) is played back, the non-granting control may be performed. Even in this case, in order to increase the player's expectation when the grant time control is performed, a moving image is notified that the privilege is granted when the non-grant time control is performed. It is preferable that the rate of reproduction is set low.

Further, in the timing chart shown in FIG. 38, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 in the grant time control is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), and whether or not the effect switch image and the operation promotion image are displayed in the grant time control. (Display / non-display), presence / absence of execution of effect set effect (execution / non-execution), status of video reproduction of continuous effect (play / pause), presence / absence of output of specific sound by speakers 53, 54 (specific sound)・ Silence) is shown. As shown in FIG. 38, if the time-giving control is performed in a specific situation or a special situation, before t6, the sub-control unit 91 reproduces a moving image of continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 and the speaker 53. , 54 outputs a specific sound. Further, at t6, the sub-control unit 91 starts the execution of the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and temporarily stops the video reproduction of the continuous effect. Further, at t7, when the execution period of the effect set effect has elapsed from t6, the sub-control unit 91 starts accepting the operation of the effect switch 56, and ends the execution of the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51 to produce the effect. Switch Starts displaying the operation promotion image and operation promotion image.

At this time, the sub control unit 91 lowers the volume of the specific sound from the speakers 53 and 54 to make it silent. Further, in t1, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, the sub control unit 91 cancels the pause of the continuous effect video reproduction on the liquid crystal display 51 and restarts the motion image reproduction. The volume of the specific sound from the speakers 53 and 54 is restored, and the output of the specific sound is restarted. Then, the sub-control unit 91 ends the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image on the liquid crystal display 51 at t2 when a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation on the effect switch 56 was performed.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 39, if the control at the time of grant is performed in a specific situation, the moving image of the continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, after the ally character and the enemy character face each other, the ally character appears. While the moving image that attacks the enemy character is played and the specific sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54, the moving image is paused (for example, the ally character and the enemy character face each other and say, "This is the last! It is paused at the image with the characters "!" Displayed. At this time, after the effect set effect is executed on the liquid crystal display 51, the effect switch image and the operation promotion image (for example, the character image of "press !!") are displayed, and the speakers 53 and 54 are used. The volume drops and there is no sound.

Further, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed while the image in the paused state of the continuous effect, the effect switch image, and the operation promotion image are displayed, the moving image is temporarily stopped on the liquid crystal display 51. Is released and the moving image (for example, the moving image in which the character "WIN" is displayed after the enemy character is defeated by the ally character, or the screen goes dark after the ally character is defeated by the enemy character and "LOSE" A moving image in which the characters "" are displayed) is played. At this time, the volume from the speakers 53 and 54 is restored, and the output of the specific sound is restarted. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image ends on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the moving image of the continuous effect is reproduced.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 40, when the grant time control is performed in a special situation as well as when the grant time control is performed in a specific situation, a moving image of continuous effect (for example, an ally) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. A moving image in which a decoration is displayed on the character "BONUS confirmed" displayed when the enemy character is defeated by the character) is played, and a moving image is displayed with a specific sound output from the speakers 53 and 54. It will be paused. At this time, after the effect set effect is executed on the liquid crystal display 51, the effect switch image and the operation promotion image (for example, the character image of "press !!") are displayed, and the speakers 53 and 54 are used. The volume drops and there is no sound.

Further, when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed while the image in the paused state of the continuous effect, the effect switch image, and the operation promotion image are displayed, the moving image is temporarily stopped on the liquid crystal display 51. Is released and the moving image (for example, the moving image in which the characters "Congratulations !!" and the decoration are displayed in large size after the characters "BIG BONUS confirmed !!" are displayed, or "REGULAR BONUS confirmed !!" After the characters are displayed, the moving image in which the characters "Congratulations !!" are displayed in small size) is played. At this time, the volume from the speakers 53 and 54 is restored, and the output of the specific sound is restarted. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image ends on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the moving image of the continuous effect is reproduced.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 may or may not be given an operation opportunity to operate the effect switch 56, and a specific situation. It is possible to control the special situation that always gives an operation opportunity. Then, in a specific situation, the sub control unit 91 does not give the operation promotion control or the operation opportunity to display the operation promotion image or the effect switch image after executing the effect set effect when the operation opportunity is given. Occasionally, after executing the effect set effect, the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are not displayed.
By doing so, the effect set effect is performed even in the special situation where the operation opportunity is always given, so that the operation promotion image and the switch image for the effect are displayed more than the gaming machine which does not control at the time of giving in the special situation. The attention of the player can be suitably increased.

In this embodiment, the control at the time of grant or the control at the time of non-grant is always performed in a specific situation, but the control at the time of grant and the control at the time of non-grant are not performed even in the specific situation, that is, the effect set. There may be times when no production is performed. For example, in a specific situation, when the player is not notified that it is advantageous to the player, the grant time control is performed at a rate of 20%, the non-granting control is performed at a rate of 40%, and the grant is performed at a rate of 40%. The time control and the non-granting time control may not be performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the control at the time of grant is always performed in the special situation, but the control at the time of grant may not be performed (the effect set effect is not performed) even in the special situation. For example, in a special situation, in the case of a slot machine, when a notification that it is a big bonus is given, the grant time control is performed at a rate of 90%, and the grant time control is not performed at a rate of 10%. When the notification that the bonus is a regular bonus is given, the grant time control may be performed at a rate of 60%, and the grant time control may not be performed at a rate of 40%. Further, for example, in a special situation, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, when a notification that a probability variation jackpot is given is given, the grant time control is performed at a rate of 90%, and the grant time control is not performed at a rate of 10%. On the other hand, when the notification that the probability change jackpot is not performed, the time-giving control may be performed at a rate of 60%, and the time-giving control may not be performed at a rate of 40%.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can adjust the volume from the speakers 53 and 54, and the volume is set during the reception period of the operation of the effect switch 56 in a specific situation. It is controlled to be silent by lowering the volume, and even in a special situation, the volume is lowered during the reception period of the operation to be controlled to be silent. That is, the sub control unit 91 lowers the volume during the reception period for the operation of the effect switch 56 as compared with the period other than the reception period.
By doing so, when the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed, the operation promotion is performed more than the game machine which does not lower the volume as compared with the case where the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are not displayed. It is possible to make the display of the image and the effect switch image stand out (make it easier for the player to pay attention), and it is possible to suitably increase the player's attention to the display of the operation promotion image and the effect switch image.
In the present embodiment, the silent state is controlled when the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and when the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is displayed. It suffices if the volume is lower than when the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is not displayed.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed in a specific situation, and a privilege is given. Notify whether or not it will be done. That is, the specific situation is a situation in which it is notified whether or not the privilege is given when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed.
By doing so, the player pays attention to whether or not the privilege is granted in a specific situation.
In addition, in this embodiment, the specific situation is a situation in which it is notified whether or not the privilege is given when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed, but the ratio of notifying that the privilege is given. May be low, and the rate of being notified that the benefit will be granted may be high. Further, it does not have to be a situation in which it is notified whether or not the privilege is granted, and it may be a situation in which the degree of advantage of the privilege granted is notified, for example, as in the special situation of the present embodiment. Further, for example, the situation may be such that a set value is suggested.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is given by executing a continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed in a special situation. Notify the degree of advantage of the benefits that are available. That is, the special situation is a situation in which the degree of advantage of the privilege given when the operation for the effect switch 56 is performed is notified.
By doing so, the player pays attention to the degree of advantage of the privilege given in the special situation.
In the present embodiment, the special situation is a situation in which the degree of advantage of the privilege given when the operation with respect to the effect switch 56 is performed is notified, but the degree of advantage of the given privilege is notified. It does not have to be the situation, for example, it may be the situation where it is notified whether or not the privilege is given as in the specific situation of the present embodiment, and the ratio of notifying that the privilege is given is It may be a high situation. Further, for example, the situation may be such that a set value is suggested.

Further, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 reproduces a moving image on the liquid crystal display 51 when the continuous effect is executed, and the effect set effect is produced during the reproduction of the moving image. At the time of execution, the reproduction of the moving image is temporarily stopped on the liquid crystal display 51.
By doing so, when the effect set effect is executed during the playback of the moving image, the operation promotion image and the effect switch after the effect set effect and the effect set effect are executed rather than the gaming machine that does not pause the playback of the moving image. It is possible to raise the player's attention to whether or not the image is displayed.
In addition, as in the present embodiment, in order to raise the player's attention to whether or not the operation promotion image or the effect switch image is displayed after the effect set effect or the effect set effect is executed, during the reproduction of the moving image. When executing the effect set effect, it is preferable to pause the reproduction of the moving image, but the reproduction may be continued without pausing the moving image (see FIGS. 42 and 44 described later).

[Embodiment 16]
In the above embodiment 15, the effect set effect is executed once in the control at the time of application, but the effect set effect may be executed a plurality of times. Hereinafter, the 16th embodiment in which the effect set effect is executed a plurality of times in the control at the time of application will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first to fifteenth embodiments will be omitted, and the parts different from the above-described first to fifteenth embodiments will be mainly described.

The gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is a slot machine, and if the sub-control unit 91 performs control at the time of grant in a specific situation, one game during continuous production (three reels (not shown) start variable display. In one game) from that time until the fluctuation display of all reels is stopped, the effect set effect is executed three times in total at the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop of the reels. In order to control in this way, the sub control unit 91 receives a reel stop command from the main control unit 41.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 41 and 42. The timing chart shown in FIG. 41 shows, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 in the time-giving control is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), and whether or not the effect-time switch image and the operation promotion image are displayed in the time-giving control (display). -Indicates (not displayed) and whether or not the effect set effect is executed (executed / not executed).

As shown in FIG. 41, if the control at the time of application is performed in a specific situation, the sub-control unit 91 performs an effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51 at t11 where the first stop of the reel is performed before t7. Is started, and the execution of the effect set effect is finished at t12 before the second stop of the reel is performed. Further, at t21 where the second stop of the reel is performed, the sub control unit 91 starts executing the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and at t22 before the third stop of the reel is performed, the effect set effect effect is produced. End the execution of. Further, at t31 where the third stop of the reel is performed, the sub control unit 91 starts executing the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and starts the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 (implementation). In t7) in the form 15, the execution of the effect set effect is terminated, and the operation promotion effect and the display of the effect switch image are started. Then, at t32, the sub control unit 91 starts the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 42, if the control at the time of grant is performed in a specific situation, the moving image of the continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, after the ally character and the enemy character face each other, the ally character and the ally character are used. The effect set effect is executed at the time of the first stop or the second stop while the moving image) in which the enemy characters attack each other is being played. In addition, the third stop is performed while the moving image (for example, the moving image in which the ally character and the enemy character face each other and the characters "This is the last !!" is displayed) is being played on the liquid crystal display 51. Sometimes, after the effect set effect is executed, the effect switch image and the operation promotion image (for example, the character image of "press !!") are displayed.

Further, when the operation is performed on the effect switch 56 while the continuous effect moving image, the effect switch image, and the operation promotion image are displayed, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the moving image (for example, an enemy character to a ally character). The moving image in which the characters "WIN" are displayed after the character is defeated, or the moving image in which the screen goes dark and the characters "LOSE" are displayed after the ally character is defeated by the enemy character) continues. Will be played. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed, the display of the effect switch image and the operation promotion image ends on the liquid crystal display 51, and only the moving image of the continuous effect is reproduced.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 receives the operation of the effect switch 56 after executing the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51 at the time of the third stop. At the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 starts displaying the operation promotion image and the effect switch image. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 only executes the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51 at the time of the first stop or the second stop, and does not accept the operation of the effect switch 56, and the liquid crystal display 51 does not accept the operation. The operation promotion image and the effect switch image are not displayed.

By doing so, it is possible to display effect set effects, operation promotion images, and effect switch images according to the progress of the game, and there is no possibility that an operation opportunity will be given at the third stop. The fun of the game is improved as compared with the game machine that does not execute the effect set effect even at the first stop or the second stop.
In this embodiment, the effect set effect is executed three times when the grant time control is performed in a specific situation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the grant time control is performed in a specific situation, from the first stop time. The effect set effect may be executed at least once or four times or more before the third stop.

In the present embodiment, the effect set effect is executed three times when the effect set effect is performed in a specific situation, but the effect set effect is not limited to this, and for example, the effect set effect is also performed when the effect set effect is performed in a special situation. It may be executed three times. Further, for example, the effect set effect may be executed at least once or four times or more between the first stop and the third stop when the grant time control is performed in a special situation.

In the present embodiment, the effect set effect is executed three times when the effect set effect is performed in the specific situation, but the effect set effect is not limited to this. It may be executed three times. In this case, the game in which the non-granting control is performed in the specific situation may be repeated before the game in which the granting control is performed in the specific situation. For example, the effect set effect is executed three times in each game over three games. Then, at the third stop of the last one game, the acceptance period for the operation of the effect switch 56 may be started, and the display of the operation promotion image or the effect switch image may be started.

The display of the liquid crystal display 51 in the effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 and 44. In the timing chart shown in FIG. 43, in order from the top, whether or not the operation of the effect switch 56 in the non-assignment control is accepted (acceptance / non-acceptance), and whether or not the effect switch image and the operation promotion image are displayed in the non-assignment control. (Display / non-display), Indicates whether or not the effect set effect is executed (execution / non-execution).

As shown in FIG. 43, if the non-assignment control is performed in a specific situation, the sub control unit 91 executes the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51 at t11 where the first stop of the reel is performed. Is started, and the execution of the effect set effect is finished at t12 before the second stop of the reel is performed. Further, at t21 where the second stop of the reel is performed, the sub control unit 91 starts executing the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and at t22 before the third stop of the reel is performed, the effect set effect effect is produced. End the execution of. Further, at t31 when the third stop of the reel is performed, the sub control unit 91 starts executing the effect set effect on the liquid crystal display 51, and if it is a control at the time of application, the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56 is accepted. At t32, the execution of the effect set effect ends. Then, at t32, the sub control unit 91 does not accept the operation of the effect switch 56, and does not start the operation promotion effect and the display of the effect switch image on the liquid crystal display 51.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 44, if the non-granting control is performed in a specific situation, the moving image of the continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, the ally character and the enemy character face each other and then the ally character). The effect set effect is executed at the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop while the moving image of the ally character and the enemy character facing each other again after the enemy character and the enemy character attack each other is being played. Will be done.

By doing so, it is possible to display an effect set effect, an operation promotion image, and a switch image for effect according to the progress of the game, and whether an operation opportunity is given at the third stop over a plurality of games. It is possible to incite whether or not, and the interest of the game is improved as compared with the game machine that does not execute the effect set effect multiple times when the non-granting control is performed in a specific situation.
In the present embodiment, the effect set effect is executed three times when the non-giving control is performed in a specific situation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the first stop is performed when the non-giving control is performed in a specific situation. The effect set effect may be executed at least once or four times or more between the time and the third stop.
In the present embodiment, the reproduction of the moving image is continued when the effect set effect is executed during the reproduction of the moving image, but the moving image may be paused when the effect set effect is executed.

[Embodiment 17]
Next, the command in the main control unit 41 and its processing will be described. In addition, this embodiment can be applied to each configuration of Embodiments 1-16. First, FIG. 45 shows a configuration example of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board. The main control unit 41 is a one-chip microcomputer, and includes an external bus interface 501, a clock circuit 502, a collation block 503, a unique information storage circuit 504, an arithmetic circuit 505, a reset / interrupt controller 506, and the like.

The CPU 41a is a control CPU that executes game control in a game machine 1 which is a slot machine, for example, by executing a user program (game control processing program for game control) based on a control code read from the ROM 41b. When such game control is executed, a fixed data read operation in which the CPU 41a reads fixed data from the ROM 41b, a variable data writing operation in which the CPU 41a writes various variable data to the RAM 41c and temporarily stores them, and a CPU 41a are temporarily stored in the RAM 41c. Variable data read operation to read various variable data, CPU 41a receives input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, parallel input port 511, serial communication circuit 512, etc., CPU 41a Also performs transmission operations such as outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, the serial communication circuit 512, the parallel output port 513, and the like.

The ROM 41b stores a control code indicating a user program (game control processing program for game control), fixed data, and the like. The RAM 41c provides a work area or the like for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power supply. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine 1 is stopped, at least a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period.

The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513 (hereinafter, the output port that outputs the command among the parallel output ports 513 may be referred to as a command output port). The command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and the command is not sent from the sub control unit 91 to the main control unit 41. Further, in this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but the command is transmitted via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted by a serial signal may be used.

FIG. 46 is an address map of the memory area used by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG. 6, the memory area used by the main control unit 41 includes a memory area (0000H to 7FFFH) allocated to the ROM 41b and a memory area (F000H to FFFFH) allocated to the RAM 41c.

The memory area of the ROM 41b includes a code area (inside the area), a data area, and a code area (outside the area). An unused area is included between each area. The code area (inside the area) is a program area in the area in which a program in the area including a game program related to the progress of the game is stored. The data area is a game data area in which game data used by a program in the area is stored, and a plurality of table format data used according to the progress of the game are stored in an area starting from a specific address (1000h). .. The code area (outside the area) is an out-of-area program area in which an out-of-area program including a non-game program not involved in the progress of the game is stored.

Note that the progress of the game is to proceed with a series of processes constituting the game, and if it is a slot machine, the stage where the bet number is set and the game can be started, the game is started and the reel is rotated. The stage of causing the reel to be stopped, the stage of deriving the display result, and the stage of giving the value of a medal or the like according to the display result are advanced.

The code area (inside the area) related to the progress of the game and the code area (outside the area) not related to the progress of the game are separately allocated, and the code area (outside the area) is rearward in the storage area of the ROM 41b. An unused area of at least 16 bytes or more is allocated to the front area. Therefore, the code area (inside the area) related to the progress of the game and the code area (outside the area) not related to the progress of the game can be easily specified according to the difference in the storage area.

The front and back of the above-mentioned storage area are the magnitude relations of the address values assigned to the storage area, and the smaller address is the front and the larger address is the rear. Therefore, the storage area allocated after the one storage area corresponds to the storage area having an address value larger than that of the one storage area, and the storage area allocated before the one storage area. , A storage area whose address value is smaller than that of one storage area is applicable.

The memory area of the RAM 41c is a built-in RAM area (F000H to F400H) that can be used as a work, and a built-in register area (FE00H to FEBFH) in which a register group for controlling each function mounted on the main control unit 41 is stored. ) And unused areas (F401H to FDFFH, FEC0H to FFFFH) for which access is prohibited.

In the game start waiting process, after the control of one game is completed, the number of bets is set by inserting medals, etc., and after the specified number of bets is set, the start switch is operated to start the game. The internal lottery process is a process of performing an internal lottery and setting a winning flag, and the reel control process is a process of starting the rotation of the reel and operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. It is a process for stopping the reel, and the game end setting process determines whether or not a prize has occurred according to the stop position of the stopped reel, pays out medals, sets the re-game, and shifts the game state. The external output 1 process is a process for controlling the output of the medal IN signal, the medal OUT signal, the RB signal, the BB signal, and the RT signal among the external output signals. The initial setting process is a process for making the game possible when the power is turned on (backup abnormality confirmation, register initialization, etc.), and the power failure process returns to the state before the power failure when the power is cut. The abnormal winning judgment processing is a processing for determining whether or not an abnormal winning is generated in which an unacceptable combination is won, and the error processing is a processing for various abnormalities (medals). Insertion abnormality, foreign matter detection in medal selector 29, reel rotation abnormality, medal payout abnormality, foreign matter detection near payout exit, RAM abnormality, set value abnormality, empty hopper tank 34a, full tank detection of overflow tank 35, abnormal prize Etc.) is detected, it is a process for disabling the game. Further, although not particularly shown, the game program also includes the above-mentioned processing related to AT (control related to lottery related to AT, control related to navigation notification, etc.).

The common determination program in the game program includes, for example, an input determination process and a payout determination process. The insertion determination process is a process of determining whether or not the medal has passed normally by the insertion medal sensor 31, and is a process executed in a state where medals can be inserted for setting the number of bets and the like. The payout determination process is a process of determining whether or not the medal has passed normally by the payout sensor 34c, and is a process executed in a state where the payout of the medal is permitted at the time of winning a small winning combination or at the time of settlement of credits. Is.

The common general-purpose program in the game program is a process called and executed from a plurality of types of processes constituting the game program, and is, for example, a counter update process, a port input process, a data conversion process, an LED display process, a data setting process, and the like. Includes command setting processing. The counter update process is a process for updating the specified counter value, the port input process is a process for acquiring the input state of the specified port, and the data conversion process is input using game data. It is a process of converting and outputting the data, the LED display process is a process of setting to display the specified value on the LED, and the data setting process is a process of setting the specified data. The command setting process is a process for setting a specified command in the command queue.

As shown in FIG. 47, the out-of-area program includes an out-of-area dedicated program included only in the non-game program, and the same common determination program and common general-purpose program as the game program.

The out-of-area dedicated program is, for example, test signal output processing, foreign matter detection processing, door monitoring processing, external output 2 processing, input medal error judgment processing, payout medal error judgment processing, power failure judgment processing, normal command transmission processing, and power failure. Includes time command transmission processing. The test signal output process is a process for outputting a test signal generated in connection with the result of the game, and the foreign object detection process is a process for detecting a foreign object in the medal passage by the slot sensor 26. The door monitoring process is a process for detecting the opening of the front door 1b, and the external output 2 process is a security signal (door opening signal, setting change signal, closing error signal, payout error signal) among the external output signals. It is a process for performing output control, and the inserted medal error determination process detects the backflow of the inserted medal, the medal jam detection in the medal selector 29, and the foreign matter detection in the medal selector 29 based on the detection status of the inserted medal sensor 31. The payout medal error determination process is a process for detecting the backflow of the payout medal, the medal jam detection near the payout exit, and the foreign matter detection near the payout exit based on the detection status of the payout sensor 34c. The power failure determination process is a process for determining whether or not a voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 48 is detected, and the normal command transmission process is a command setting for a game-dedicated program and a non-game-dedicated program. It is a process for transmitting the first command set in the command queue by the process to the sub-control unit 91, and the command transmission process at the time of power failure is set in the command queue. This is a process for transmitting all the existing commands to the sub-control unit 91.

The common general-purpose program in the non-game program is a process called and executed from a plurality of types of processes constituting the non-game program, and is, for example, a counter update process, a port input process, and the same as the common general-purpose program in the game program. Includes data conversion processing, LED display processing, data setting processing, and command setting processing.

First, the initial setting process executed by the main control unit 41 at startup will be described. When the main control unit 41 is started due to the occurrence of a reset, the start-up setting is performed. In the startup setting, the status flag provided in the main control unit 41 is initialized. The status flag is data that holds the state of the operation result and the execution result of the instruction, and includes the interrupt master permission flag that sets the prohibition / permission of interrupt in particular. Since the initial value of the interrupt master permission flag is a value indicating that interrupts are prohibited, the main control unit 41 is started in a state where interrupts are prohibited. After that, the main control unit 41 sets various functions with reference to the HW parameters, and then performs the initial setting process according to the program stored in the program / data area. In this embodiment, the initial setting process is included in the game program.

FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the initial setting process executed by the main control unit. As shown in FIG. 48, in the initial setting process, interrupting is prohibited by first setting the value of the interrupt master permission flag to a value indicating interrupt prohibition (Sa1). As described above, the main control unit 41 is activated in the interrupt-prohibited state, but in Sa1, interrupts are prohibited again. Next, initialization data is set (Sa2), and each output port including the parallel output port 513 is initialized (Sa3). Next, the built-in register is set (Sa4).

Next, it is determined whether or not the power supply voltage is normal (Sa5). If the power supply voltage is not normal, the determination is repeated until it becomes normal. If the power supply voltage is normal, the upper address of the interrupt vector is set (Sa6). Then, access to the RAM 41c is permitted (Sa7), a specific address is set as a pointer (Sa7a), and the stack pointer is initialized (Sa8). Here, the specific address is an address used for the LDT command described later, and by setting a pointer in the Sa7a process when the power is turned on, the address can be specified only by the relative value from the specific address in the LDT command. It will be possible.

Next, the RAM parity of the built-in RAM area (the area of F000H to F1FFH including the game stack area and the unused area) in the usable area of the RAM 41c is calculated (Sa9). Then, it is determined whether or not the calculated RAM parity is 0 (Sa10). If the power cutoff process (main) was performed normally when the power was cut off last time, the RAM parity should be 0. Therefore, if the RAM parity is not 0, the data stored in the built-in RAM area of the RAM 41c. Is not normal, and in this case, the process proceeds to the Sa13 step and the destruction diagnosis data is cleared (Sa13). On the other hand, when the RAM parity becomes 0, the destruction diagnosis data stored in the built-in RAM area is further acquired (Sa11), and it is determined whether or not the acquired destruction diagnosis data is correct (Sa12). Clear the destruction diagnosis data (Sa13).

Next, it is determined whether or not the setting key switch (not shown) is in the ON state (Sa14). When the setting key switch is in the ON state, the timer interrupt is set (Sa19). Specifically, the register of the timer circuit 509 built in the main control unit 41 is set so that the timer interrupt is executed periodically at predetermined time intervals. In this embodiment, the value corresponding to about 0.56 ms is set in the predetermined register (time constant register), so that the timer interrupt is periodically generated every about 0.56 ms. Further, in the timer circuit 509, the timer is initialized by setting the register, and the time counting is started from the initial value. When the timer interrupt setting in the step of Sa19 is completed, the process proceeds to the setting change process.

On the other hand, when the setting key switch is in the OFF state, it is determined whether or not the stored contents of the RAM 41c are destroyed (Sa15). In the step of Sa15, it is determined whether or not the RAM abnormality flag described later is set, and whether or not the stored contents of the RAM 41c are destroyed based on the determination of Sa10 and Sa12. If the stored contents of the RAM 41c are not destroyed, a return command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 (Sa16). When the stored contents of the RAM 41c are not destroyed, it is determined that the RAM abnormality flag is not set and the RAM parity is 0 in the step of Sa10, and the destruction diagnosis data is further stored in the step of Sa12. This is the case when it is determined to be correct.

After the step of Sa16, all the registers are restored based on the data stored in the built-in RAM area of the RAM 41c (Sa17), and the timer interrupt setting similar to the step of Sa19 is set (Sa18).

If the stored content of the RAM 41c is destroyed in the step of Sa15, a RAM abnormality flag indicating that the stored content of the RAM 41c is not normal is set in the RAM 41c (Sa20), and the process proceeds to error processing. In error handling, the progress of the game is disabled. Further, in the error state in which the RAM abnormality flag is set and the transition is made, the setting key switch is turned on and the power switch 39 is turned ON, so that the error state can be canceled by shifting to the setting change processing. On the other hand, when the power switch 39 is turned on without turning on the setting key switch, the RAM error flag is still set, and it is determined that the RAM is destroyed in the step of Sa15. It becomes an error state.

Next, the internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 41 will be described. FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the internal lottery process executed by the main control unit. In the internal lottery process, first, the random number value set in the lottery work is set in the register (Sf1), and the first lottery target combination according to the current gaming state and RT is set (Sf2).

Next, the number of determination values corresponding to the current gaming state, RT, and set value of the set lottery target combination is acquired (Sf3). In the processing of Sf3, when the main control unit 41 reads out the number of determination values stored in the data area (table area) during the execution of the program of the internal lottery processing, all of the data areas in which the data is stored. It is possible to read out the number of judgment values by specifying only the relative value from a specific address instead of specifying the address. The LDT command is used in the internal lottery processing program as a command for reading the number of determined values by designating only the relative value from the specific address. The number of judgment values acquired by using the LDT instruction is added to the value set in the register (Sf4), and whether or not the added value overflows, that is, whether or not the total number of random numbers (65536) is exceeded. Judgment (Sf5).

If the value after addition overflows in the step of Sf5, the winning flag of the corresponding winning combination, that is, the currently set lottery target winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storage work (Sf6), and the internal lottery process is performed. Finish, return to the program for game processing, and move to reel rotation processing.

If the value after addition does not overflow in the step of Sf5, it is determined whether or not all the lottery target combinations according to the current game state and RT have been determined (Sf7), and all lottery targets. If the combination determination is not completed, the next lottery target combination is set, and the process returns to the Sf3 step.

When the determination of all the lottery target combinations is completed in the step of Sf7, the internal lottery process is ended, the program returns to the game process, and the reel rotation process is started.

In the present embodiment, when the main control unit 41 reads out the number of determination values stored in the data area (table area) during the execution of the program for the internal lottery process, all the data areas in the data area in which the data is stored are read. It was explained that it is possible to use the LDT command to read the number of judgment values by specifying only the relative value from the specific address instead of specifying the address. This LDT instruction will be described in more detail. FIG. 50 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of reading data using an LDT instruction.

Further, the main control unit 41 normally uses the LD instruction as an instruction to read the data stored in the data area. The LD instruction is an instruction to read the data stored at the address specified in the main routine or the subroutine to the specified register. The main control unit 41 reads the data stored in the address specified by the LD instruction, and stores the data read in the register specified by the LD instruction.

However, when reading the game data which is particularly frequently used among the game data stored in the ROM 41b from the data area of the ROM 41b, it is necessary to specify the address every time in the LD instruction. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 50A, when the main control unit 41 acquires the number of determination values corresponding to the set values at the time of BB internal winning in the internal lottery processing program (Sf3), the main control unit 41 issues an LD command. If used, it is necessary to specify the address 1008h of the ROM 41b and store the number of determination values in the HL register. When the LD instruction is used, it is necessary to process a 3-byte instruction every time the number of determination values is read from the ROM 41b. In the data area of the ROM 41b, a plurality of table format data used according to the progress of the game are stored in the area starting from the specific address 1000h, and the data area shown in FIG. , BB internal winning, CB internal winning, number of determination values in CB, etc. are stored as table format data.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the LDT instruction is used instead of the LD instruction in the program for reading the game data which is particularly frequently used among the game data stored in the ROM 41b from the data area of the ROM 41b. In the LDT command, the start address of the data area in which the game data is stored is set in advance as a specific address. Therefore, when reading data from the data area, it is only necessary to specify a relative value from the specific address. As a result, when the LDT command is used, it is possible to read the game data with a smaller amount of data as compared with the normal LD command for reading the data by specifying the address, and when reading these game data, the address is used. It is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 50B, the main control unit 41 sets a pointer to the start address 1000h of the data area in advance as a specific address in the Sa7a process when the power is turned on. Then, when the main control unit 41 acquires the number of determination values corresponding to the set values at the time of BB internal winning in the internal lottery processing program, which is an example of a program that is used more frequently than other programs (Sf3), Use the LDT command instead of the LD command. In the LDT instruction, the relative value (008h) from the specific address 1000h is specified without specifying the address 1008h of the ROM 41b, and the number of the determination values is stored in the HL register. When the LDT instruction is used, it is sufficient to specify only the relative value without specifying the address every time the number of judgment values is read from the ROM 41b, so it is sufficient to process the 2-byte instruction. Therefore, when the LDT instruction is used, it is possible to read the game data with a data amount one byte smaller than that of the normal LD instruction, and it is a waste of the program to specify the address when reading these game data. Can be reduced.

It should be noted that the setting of the specific address may be only the hardware-like automatic setting performed when the power is turned on to the gaming machine 1 and the power supply is started, or the setting by the user program executed at the start of the user program. May be only.

Further, the program using the LDT instruction is a program that is used more frequently than other programs, and in the above-mentioned example, in the internal lottery processing program, the number of determination values at the time of BB internal winning is used for reading. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the game machine 1 is a slot machine, the number of determined values of the winning combination is read, the lottery of AT, the transition judgment value of the advantageous state is read, the judgment value of freeze is read, and the 7-segment display is used. The LDT command is used for programs such as display update and reference to the reel stop table. When the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine, the LDT command is used for a program such as reading out a determination value of a big hit lottery, referring to a table for determining a fluctuation pattern, and referring to an opening / closing table of a big winning opening. As a program using the LDT instruction, for example, a program that reads data from the data area for each fluctuation (one game) can be considered.

The LDT instruction is used in the in-region program, but is limited so that it is not used in the out-of-region program. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the LDT instruction may be used in both the intra-regional program and the out-of-region program.

It is equipped with a process to display a suggestion image during the reception period).
The reception period suggestion display means changes the reception period suggestion display according to the remaining period of the reception period, and when an operation is performed on the operation unit before the reception period elapses, the predetermined period elapses. The reception period suggestion display is not changed (for example, the sub-control unit 91 changes the meter display of the reception period suggestion image on the liquid crystal display 51 according to the remaining period of the reception period, but by the time the reception period elapses. When the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed, the meter display of the reception period suggestion image is not changed until a predetermined period elapses), and the gaming machine is also disclosed.

According to such a configuration, the reception period suggestion display changes after the player pays attention to the operation promotion display rather than the gaming machine that changes the reception period suggestion display until a predetermined period elapses after the operation on the operation unit is performed. It becomes easy to recognize that the operation for the operation unit has been accepted by confirming that the operation is not performed.

(6) Further, in the present application,

The movable member operation control means starts the operation of the movable member before the predetermined period elapses after the operation on the operation unit is performed (for example, the sub control unit 91 operates the effect switch 56). (Movement to the movable accessory 201 is started before a predetermined period elapses), and the gaming machine is also disclosed.

According to such a configuration, when the player operates the operation unit, he / she pays attention to the operation unit at his / her own hand and then pays attention to the operation promotion display. Therefore, a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation on the operation unit was performed. It becomes more difficult for the player to end the operation promotion display before the player pays attention to the operation promotion display than the gaming machine that ends the operation promotion display, and the player confirms the end of the operation promotion display and operates the operation unit. It becomes easier to recognize that it has been accepted. Further, according to such a configuration, when the operation on the operation unit is performed, the movable member is quickly moved while the operation promotion display is being performed, so that the operation on the operation unit is performed and then predetermined. It is possible to reduce the player's discomfort with the production using the movable member, which takes longer to physically move than the gaming machine that starts the operation of the movable member after the period has elapsed.

(11) Further, in the present application,
The movable member motion control means moves the movable member to a position where the operation promotion display was performed (for example, an image display position) (for example, the sub control unit 91 moves the movable accessory 201 to the image display position). ), The gaming machine is also disclosed.

With such a configuration, the player's attention to the operation promotion display can be directed to the movable member as it is, and the game for the movable member is more than that of the gaming machine that does not move the movable member to the position where the operation promotion display was performed. It can raise the attention of people.

It is equipped with a process to turn on the accessory lamp on the movable accessory 201, which is executed after being broken.
The movable member light emitting control means does not emit light until the movable member moves to a specific position (for example, an image display position), and emits light after the movable member moves to the specific position. (For example, the sub-control unit 91 moves the movable accessory 201 to the image display position and then turns on the accessory lamp on the movable accessory 201).

According to such a configuration, the movement of the movable member can be made less noticeable than that of a gaming machine that emits light by the time the movable member moves to a specific position.
In order to make the movement of the movable member inconspicuous, the light emitting portion (for example, a light guide plate) of the decorative portion may be made to emit light while the movable member is moving. In this case, the decorative portion may be provided on the path (for example, initial position, intermediate position) until the movable member moves to a specific position, or may be provided at a position away from the path.

(13) Further, in the present application,
The display mode of the specific display includes at least a first aspect (for example, a first aspect) and a second aspect (for example, a second aspect).
The specific display means performs the specific display in the first aspect after the operation on the operation unit is performed, and then performs the specific display in the second aspect (for example, the sub control unit 91 performs the specific display on the effect switch 56). From the first aspect, the display mode of the specific display on the liquid crystal display 51 is changed from the first aspect after the predetermined period elapses after the specific display is started in the first aspect on the liquid crystal display 51 before the predetermined period elapses after the operation is performed. Changed to the second aspect),
The movable member operation control means starts the movement of the movable member when the specific display is performed in the first aspect, moves the movable member from the initial position, and performs the specific display in the second aspect. When the movable member is moved, the movement of the movable member is terminated and the movable member is stopped at the specific position (for example, when the sub-control unit 91 is performing the specific display in the first aspect, the movable accessory 201 is displayed. The movement is started to move the movable accessory 201 from the initial position, and when the specific display is performed in the second aspect, the movable accessory 201 is terminated to move and the movable accessory 201 is stopped at the image display position. ), The gaming machine is also disclosed.

A moving image reproduction display means for reproducing and displaying a moving image (for example, a moving image of a continuous effect) (for example, a process of reproducing a moving image of a continuous effect on a liquid crystal display 51 executed by a sub-control unit 91) is provided.
The moving image display means pauses the playback display of the moving image when the suggestion effect is executed during the playback display of the moving image (for example, the effect set effect is produced while the sub-control unit 91 is playing and displaying the moving image. The reproduction of the moving image is temporarily stopped on the liquid crystal display 51), and the gaming machine is also disclosed.

According to such a configuration, the operation promotion image is displayed after the suggestion effect or the suggestion effect is executed, as compared with the gaming machine that does not pause the reproduction display of the motion image when the suggestion effect is executed during the reproduction display of the moving image. It is possible to raise the player's attention to whether or not it is.

(38) Further, in the present application,
A plurality of variable display units (for example, reels) capable of variablely displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, are provided.
After variable display of the variable display unit, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and a prize can be generated according to the display result combination which is a combination of the display results of a plurality of variable display units. And
The operation opportunity may be given when all the variable displays of the variable display unit are stopped (for example, when the sub control unit 91 is in the third stop state, the liquid crystal display 51 executes an effect set effect. The operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted from the above, and the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51).
If the variable display of all the variable display units is not stopped when the variable display of the variable display unit is stopped, the suggestion effect can be executed (when the sub control unit 91 is stopped first or second). In the liquid crystal display 51, only the effect set effect is executed, the operation of the effect switch 56 is not accepted, and the operation promotion image and the effect switch image are not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51). Is also disclosed.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to display a suggestion effect and an operation promotion image according to the progress of the game, and there is a possibility that an operation opportunity is given when the variable display of all the variable display units is stopped. Even if the variable display of all variable display units is not stopped when the variable display of no game machine or variable display unit is stopped, the interest of the game is improved as compared with the gaming machine that does not execute the suggestion effect.

(39) Further, in the present application,
A gaming machine that plays a game (for example, gaming machine 1).
An operation unit operated by the player (for example, a production switch 56) and
An operation promotion display means (for example, a liquid crystal executed by the sub control unit 91) that performs an operation promotion display (for example, display of a switch image for effect, display of a reception period suggestion image, display of an operation promotion image) for prompting an operation on the operation unit. Processing to display the effect switch image, the reception period suggestion image, and the operation promotion image on the display 51),
A light emitting control means (for example, a sub control unit 91) in which a light emitting unit (for example, a switch lamp for effect) provided in the operation unit is set as a specific mode (for example, lighting or blinking) when the operation promotion display is performed. The process of turning on and blinking the effect switch lamp of the effect switch 56 to be executed) and
Specific display means (for example, sub) that performs specific display (for example, specific display, display of a specific character image, display of changing the color of a frame image, display of an effect result in continuous production) after an operation on the operation unit is performed. A process for displaying a specific display, a specific character image, a display for changing the color of a frame image, and a display of an effect result in a continuous effect on the liquid crystal display 51, which is executed after the control unit 91 operates the effect switch 56. )When,
A storage means for storing data (for example, a data area of ROM 41b) and
By specifying a relative value from a specific address, a specific instruction (for example, an LDT instruction) for reading data from the storage area of the storage means at the specified address is executed based on a program (for example, a program in the area). It is equipped with an instruction execution means (for example, a main control unit 41).
The storage means has a plurality of table format data used according to the progress of the game in a predetermined area starting from the specific address (for example, at the time of special role loss, at the time of BB internal winning, at the time of CB internal winning, during CB, etc.). The number of judgment values etc. is stored in table format data),
The specific instruction is used for a program (for example, a program for internal lottery processing) that is frequently executed by the instruction executing means.
The operation promotion display means ends the operation promotion display after a predetermined period (for example, a predetermined period) has elapsed from the operation on the operation unit (for example, the sub control unit 91 operates the operation switch 56 on the effect switch 56). After a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation was performed, the display of the effect switch image, the display of the reception period suggestion image, and the display of the operation promotion image are finished on the liquid crystal display 51).
The light emitting control means changes the light emitting unit from the specific mode to a mode different from the specific mode (for example, the sub control unit 91) before the predetermined period elapses after the operation on the operation unit is performed. The effect switch 56 is turned on and the blinking effect switch lamp is turned off before a predetermined period has elapsed after the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed), and the gaming machine is disclosed.

According to such a configuration, when the player operates the operation unit, he / she pays attention to the operation unit that emits light at his / her own hand and then pays attention to the operation promotion display. It becomes more difficult for the player to end the operation promotion display before the player pays attention to the operation promotion display than the gaming machine that ends the operation promotion display before the predetermined period elapses, and the player confirms the end of the operation promotion display and operates. It becomes easier to recognize that the operation for the unit has been accepted. Further, according to such a configuration, since the player is paying attention to the operation unit that emits light at his / her own hand when operating the operation unit, a predetermined period has elapsed since the operation on the operation unit was performed. The light emission of the operation unit is different from the specific mode before the player pays attention to the operation promotion display, rather than the gaming machine that changes the light emitting unit provided in the operation unit from the specific mode to the mode different from the specific mode. It becomes easy for the player to change, and it becomes easy for the player to confirm the change in the mode of the light emitting unit and recognize that the operation for the operation unit has been accepted. Further, since the instruction executing means executes a specific instruction for reading data from the storage area of the storage means of the specified address based on the program by specifying a relative value from the specific address, it is compared with a normal instruction. Therefore, it is possible to read data with a small amount of data, and it is possible to reduce the waste of the program for specifying an address when reading these data.

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