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

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

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

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

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

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

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, a decorative symbol (a symbol indicating a number or the like) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbol is synchronized with the first special figure game or the second special figure game. Is variablely displayed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, up and down) in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". Direction scroll display and update display). It should be noted that the special figure game and the variable display of decorative symbols executed in synchronization are collectively referred to as simply variable display.

On the screen of the image display device 5, a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display in which execution is suspended or an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed may be provided. Hold display and active display are collectively referred to as variable display compatible display corresponding to variable display.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled to the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small hit" (however, "small hit" occurs. If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). It is not necessary that there is a "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It includes an output port for transmitting (a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal figure hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal).

The switch circuit 110 is a detection signal (a game ball passes or is passed) from various switches for detecting a game ball (gate switch 21, start port switch (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), count switch 23). It takes in a detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on by entering and transmits it to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, the passage or approach of the game ball is detected.

The solenoid circuit 111 transfers a solenoid drive signal from the game control microcomputer 100 (for example, a signal for turning on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) to the solenoid 81 for an ordinary electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for a prize-winning door. To transmit.

The main board 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control) issues an effect control command (command for designating (notifying) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game as a part of controlling the progress of the game. Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, a display result of a special figure game (including a jackpot type)), and a variation pattern used when executing a special figure game (for details, refer to. )), The game status (for example, the start and end of the variable display, the opening status of the large winning opening, the occurrence of the winning, the number of reserved memories, the game status), the command for specifying the occurrence of an error, and the like are included.

The effect control board 12 is a control board on the sub side independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and produces an effect (various effects according to the progress of the game) based on the received effect control command. It has a function of executing various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, and notification of power failure recovery).

The effect control board 12 is equipped with an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125.

The effect control CPU 120 is a process for executing an effect together with the display control unit 123 by executing a program stored in the ROM 121 (a process for realizing the above-mentioned function of the effect control board 12, and is an effect to be executed). (Including the decision etc.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as the main memory.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on the detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B (a signal output when an operation by the player is detected and an appropriate signal indicating the operation content). It may also instruct the control unit 123.

The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes an effect based on an effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120.

The display control unit 123 supplies the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120, so that the effect image is displayed on the image display device 5. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the sound to be output) to the voice control board 13 in order to output a sound synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Or, a lamp signal (a signal for designating the lighting / extinguishing mode of the lamp) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit for driving the movable body 32.

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

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

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

Next, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on the power supply board, for example. When the power is turned on with the clear switch turned on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. If the output signal from the clear switch is on, the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

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

If the output signal from the clear switch is not on, it is determined whether or not the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power failure), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko gaming machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stop of the power supply. In this power supply stop processing, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up to the RAM 102, a process of protecting the data of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes addition of an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and a process of backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for advancing the game (including various flags, various timer states, etc.), as well as the state of the backup flag and the error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is on. If the backup flag is off and the backup data is not stored in the RAM 102, the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

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

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal, the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

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

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

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

When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to enter the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined error processing on the main side, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, the jackpot information (information indicating the number of times the jackpot has occurred) and the start information (starting) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information such as the number of times of winning and the probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of the probability change state) are output (step S23).

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

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

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

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off, the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

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

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73, the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are made. For example, the read effect control command may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that which effect control command is received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process processing or the like. Turn on the provided receive flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display the background according to the game state.

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

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

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

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes any of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in, for example, the RAM 122.

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

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

The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , Driving the movable body 32, outputting voice and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and commands (illuminated signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effect controls are executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern, such as turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by the output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read from the effect control pattern, or a command is received from the main board 11 to specify that the fixed decorative symbol is to be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, the final decorative symbol, which is the display result of the decorative symbol, is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the effect process during variable display ends.

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

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

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

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

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

Assemble the handle ring 730 with the handle shaft 726 integrated. It is configured by assembling in steps 1 to 4, such as assembling the handle cover 735. The assembly process is optional, and may be assembled by a process other than the above. In addition, it actually has a process of assembling more members than the above.

Further, in the following, for convenience of explanation, the handle base 720 and the touch ring 728 are part B1, the touch mounting plate 729 is part B2, the handle ring 730 is part B3, and the handle cover 735 integrated with the handle shaft 726 is part B4. It may be explained as. Further, among these parts B1 to B4, the part B4 (handle cover 735 integrated with the handle shaft 726) will be described as a more characteristic part than the other parts B1 to B4. The "characteristic part" is a part that is most easily recognized (specified) by the player as a part constituting a part of the ball striking operation handle 30.

Specifically, the part B4 (handle cover 735) is described in A.I. Being a member operated by a player, B. The shape should be easy to recall that it is an operation unit, C.I. It is larger than the other parts B1 to B4 (the area occupied by the entire hitting operation handle 30 is large), and D.I. In the present embodiment, the component of the ball striking operation handle 30 is a component that satisfies at least one of the conditions (for example, conditions C and D here) that the component is arranged in a position conspicuous to the player. Of these, the characteristic component will be described as component B4 (handle cover 735).

As shown in FIG. 8-4 (A), in the ball striking operation handle 30 configured in this way, the handle shaft 726 rotates by rotating the handle ring 730 clockwise against the urging force of the handle spring 734. By transmitting the amount of rotation to a launching device (not shown), the game ball set at the firing position is launched (launched) with a force corresponding to the amount of rotation.

In the feature unit 063SG, the jackpot type determination table is stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table determines the jackpot type to be one of a plurality of types based on the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type when it is determined to control the jackpot game state with the special figure display result as "big hit". It is a table referenced by. In the jackpot type determination table, whether the special symbol whose variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (first). 2 The numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is "non-probability variation jackpot", "probability variation jackpot A", or "probability variation jackpot A", depending on whether the game is a special figure game by the special symbol display device 4B). It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots such as "Probability change jackpot B".

The types of jackpots include "probability change jackpot A" and "probability variation jackpot B", in which high-accuracy control and time-saving control are executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state to shift to the high-accuracy high-base state, and after the end of the jackpot gaming state. In, only the time saving control is executed and the "non-probability variable jackpot" that shifts to the low-probability high-base state is set.

The big hit game state by the "probability change big hit A" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the big hit game state by the "probability change big hit B" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed five times (so-called 5 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player. .. Further, the jackpot game state due to the "non-probability variable jackpot" is a normal open jackpot in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player. .. Therefore, the "probability change jackpot A" may be referred to as a 10 round (10R) probability variation jackpot, and the "probability variation jackpot B" may be referred to as a 5 round (5R) probability variation jackpot. It should be noted that the probability variation control and the time saving control are not executed even during the big hit game of any of the big hit types.

The high-accuracy control and the time-saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probabilistic jackpot A and the probabilistic jackpot B are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the jackpot that occurs again is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the high accuracy control and the time saving control are executed again after the end of the jackpot gaming state, so that the jackpot gaming state does not go through the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive villa state that occurs continuously.

On the other hand, in the time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot game state due to the "non-probability variable jackpot", the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times), or the special figure game is executed the predetermined number of times. It ends when it becomes a big hit game state before it is played.

Further, in the setting example of the jackpot type determination table, "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", and "non-probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "non-probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "non-probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "non-probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "non-probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "non-probability variation jackpot A" The assignment of the judgment value for the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot" is different. That is, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the determination value in a predetermined range (for example, the value in the range of "71" to "100") is the "probability variation jackpot B" with a small number of rounds. While assigned to the jackpot type, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the second special figure, the determination value is not assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B". With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. In the case of Therefore, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to "probability variable jackpot B" with a small number of rounds can be different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined that the big hit type is set to "probability variable big hit B" and controlled to the normal open big hit state with a small number of rounds. In a gaming state in which a game ball easily enters the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, it is possible to avoid frequent occurrence of a big hit state in which a small number of winning balls are obtained and to prevent the game interest from deteriorating. It has become like.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table, the allocation of the determination value for the jackpot type of "non-probability variation" is the same regardless of whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure (for example,). Since it is a value in the range of "1" to "51"), the probability of a non-probability jackpot and the probability of a probabilistic jackpot are determined by the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is the same regardless of whether it exists.

Therefore, as described above, the assignment of the determination value to the "probability change jackpot B" differs depending on whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and the "probability change jackpot A" is used. The assignment of the judgment value to "" also differs depending on whether it is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and for "probability change jackpot A" with a large number of rounds, the special figure game of the second special figure Is set so that the case of is easier to determine than the case of the special figure game of the first special figure. That is, the second special figure game is more advantageous to the player than the first special figure game.

Even in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, the judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special figure game of the first special figure is assigned to the big hit type of "probability variable big hit B". You may. For example, in the case of the special figure game of the second special figure, a smaller determination value than in the case of the special figure game of the first special figure may be assigned to the big hit type of "probability variable big hit B". Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to the common table data regardless of whether the game is the special figure game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

As described above, in the feature unit 063SG, in the normal state (low base state) which is not the time saving state (high base state), even if the game ball flows down the second path K2 by right-handed hitting, the game ball is placed in the second start winning opening. Because it is difficult for the player to enter, it is advantageous for the player to win the game ball at the first start winning opening by hitting the left side, while in the time saving state (high base state) or the big hit game state, the game ball is hit by the right side. Since the game ball easily enters the second start winning opening and the large winning opening if it flows down the second path K2, it is more advantageous for the player than letting the game ball win the first starting winning opening by hitting left.

FIG. 8-5 shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 063SG. In this feature unit 063SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "missing", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol corresponds to the case of "non-reach" and the case of "reach", and is variable. A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the display result is a "big hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decorative pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern") and is variable. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decorative pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the loss fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “loss”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed, and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the super reach such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. Although the feature unit 063SG is provided with only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern, the present invention is not limited to this, and like the super reach, the normal reach α, the normal reach β, ... A plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided. Further, as for the super reach fluctuation pattern, three or more super reach fluctuation patterns such as super reach γ may be provided in addition to the super reach α and the super reach β.

As shown in FIG. 8-5, the special figure variable display time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature unit 063SG is shorter than the super reach α and the super reach β, which are the super reach fluctuation patterns. It is set. Further, regarding the special figure variable display time of the super reach fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect such as super reach α and super reach β is executed in this feature unit 063SG, the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of super reach β is executed is executed. Is set to have a longer special figure variable display time than the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach α is executed.

As described above, the feature unit 063SG is set so that the expectation that the variable display result becomes a "big hit" in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach is set to be high, so that the normal reach fluctuation pattern and super In the reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the variable display time, the higher the expectation of becoming a “big hit”.

Further, in the present feature unit 063SG, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are first determined as the type of fluctuation pattern, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, and the like. Then, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, the determination is made using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided to determine these variation pattern types. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first from the random value of the above, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type.

FIG. 8-6 is an explanatory diagram of a method for determining a fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 063SG. In this feature unit 063SG, the variation pattern to be selected is different depending on the display result of the variable display to be executed and the number of reserved storages.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-6, when the variable display result is a non-probability variable jackpot, the jackpot variation pattern determination table A is selected, and the variation pattern is used using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. Is determined from PB1-1 (variation pattern of normal reach jackpot) and PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach jackpot). If the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the jackpot variation pattern determination table B is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot) using the jackpot variation pattern determination table A. It is determined from the fluctuation pattern) and PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach jackpot).

As shown in FIG. 8-6, the number of determination values assigned to PB1-1 and PB1-2 is different between the jackpot variation pattern determination table A and the jackpot variation pattern determination table B. Specifically, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, 498 determination values are assigned to PB1-1 and 497 determination values are assigned to PB1-2. On the other hand, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table B, 250 determination values are assigned to PB1-1 and 747 determination values are assigned to PB1-2. That is, in the present feature unit 063SG, when the variable display result is the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B, the variation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach at a higher rate than when the variable display result is the non-probability variation jackpot PB1. Since it is determined to be -2, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the fluctuation pattern in the variable display.

If the variable display result is "missing" in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variable special figure is 2 or less, the variable pattern determination table A for losing is selected, and the variable display result is selected. The variation pattern is determined from PA1-1 (variation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), and PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach loss) using the variation pattern determination table A for loss.

If the variable display result is "missing" in the normal gaming state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variable special figure is 3, the variable pattern determination table B for losing is selected and the loss is obtained. The fluctuation pattern is determined from PA1-2 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), and PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach loss) using the fluctuation pattern determination table B for use.

Further, when the variable display result is "loss" in the normal game state (low base state) and the number of reserved memory of the variation special figure is 4, the variation pattern determination table C for loss is selected and the loss. The fluctuation pattern is determined from PA1-3 (shortening fluctuation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), and PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach loss) using the fluctuation pattern determination table C for use.

If the variable display result is "missing" in the time saving state (high base state), the loss variation pattern determination table D is selected, and the variation pattern is set to PA1-4 using the loss variation pattern determination table D. It is determined from (the variation pattern for shortening the time reduction of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (variation pattern of normal reach loss), and PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach loss).

That is, when the variable display result is "missing" in the feature unit 063SG, the special figure is based on the fact that the number of reserved storages of the variable special figure is 3 or 4, or the time is shortened. Since the variable display time is shorter than the normal non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-1), the variable display is executed at a higher rate due to the shortening variation pattern (PA1-2, PA1-3, PA1-4). While preventing the game from being delayed, it is possible to shorten the period until the next variable display result becomes a big hit.

FIG. 8-7 is a flowchart showing the effect control process process (step S76) shown in FIG. 7. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 executes the launch operation promotion effect process of 063SGS162 after the look-ahead notice setting process of 063SGS161, and then processes any one of 063SGS170 to 063SGS175 according to the value of the effect process flag. I do. In this feature unit 063SG, the small hit middle effect process of S174 and the small hit end effect process of S175 shown in FIG. 7 are omitted, and the big hit medium effect process of S176 and the ending effect process of S177 are changed to 063SGS174 and 063SGS175, respectively. Carry up. Further, the content of the launch operation promotion effect processing will be described later.

FIG. 8-8 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable start command reception flag is set (063SGS271). When the first variable start command reception flag is set (063SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning reception command buffer (not shown). The various command data and various flags stored in association with "" are shifted upward by one buffer number (063SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-1" of the first special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-2" of the first special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-1". 1 Special figure The first special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-3".

If the first fluctuation start command reception flag is not set in 063SGS271 (063SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (063SGS273). If the second variation start command reception flag is not set (063SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and if the second variation start command reception flag is set (063SGS273; Y), the start is started. Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure hold storage in the command buffer received at the time of winning (not shown), one buffer number. It shifts to the upper side by the minute (063SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-1" of the second special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-2" of the second special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-1". 2 Special figure The second special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-3".

After executing 063SGS272 or 063SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (063SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (063SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol according to the display result specified by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the stopped symbol of the determined decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. do.

In the feature unit 063SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, "7" as a stop symbol. ”Determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbols). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B, a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, "111") are used as stop symbols. It is determined from the combination of decorative patterns such as "333", "555", and "999"). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fifth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probability change jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, a decorative symbol in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as stop symbols. Determine the combination (big hit symbol). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss, it is a decorative symbol in which the three symbols are not uniform as the stop symbol, and the combination other than the above-mentioned chance eyes is used. (Loss pattern) is decided.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining the stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating a combination of decorative symbols and a numerical value are associated with each other. Then, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value corresponding to the extracted random number.

After the processing of 063SGS276, in 063SGS277, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern is the SP reach fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation pattern designation command. When the fluctuation pattern is not the SP reach fluctuation pattern, the effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command is selected (063SGS278).

On the other hand, when it is determined in 063SGS277 that the fluctuation pattern is the SP reach fluctuation pattern, the effect control CPU 120 performs an operation promotion effect pattern determination process for determining the operation promotion effect type (063SGS279). Here, the operation promotion effect will be described.

(Operation promotion production)
In the feature unit 063SG, when the super reach fluctuation pattern PA2-2 or PB1-2 is determined in the fluctuation pattern setting process of S111 shown in FIG. 5, the effect control CPU 120 executes the super reach effect during the variable display. At the same time, the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is enabled at a predetermined timing during the execution of the super reach effect, and the player performs an operation in which the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B can be detected during the operation valid period. It urges the player to do so, that is, it executes an operation promotion effect that promotes the operation of either the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B to the player, and when there is an operation, the variable display result is notified. There is.

In the following, the flow from the start of the variable display of the decorative pattern to the end of the super reach effect will be described. 8-13 are diagrams for explaining an example of the flow from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the start of the super reach effect in FIGS. 8-13. 8-14 are diagrams for explaining an example of the flow of the parts assembly effect in FIGS. 8-14. 8-15 are diagrams for explaining an example of the flow of parts assembly effect in FIGS. 8-15. 8-16 are diagrams for explaining an example of the flow of the parts assembly effect in FIGS. 8 to 16. 8-17 are diagrams for explaining an example of the controller assembly effect based on the effect pattern A or C in FIGS. 8-17. 8-18 are diagrams for explaining an example of the controller assembly effect based on the effect pattern B or D in FIGS. 8-18. 8-19 are diagrams for explaining an example of the operation promotion effect in FIGS. 8-19.

Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 starts the variable display of the decorative symbol as shown in FIG. 8-13 (A), and then the decorative symbol is variable as shown in FIG. 8-13 (B). After setting the display mode to a predetermined reach mode, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (C), the super reach effect is started with the development of the super reach. In this feature unit 063SG, as a super reach effect, a battle effect in which a ally character and an enemy character confront each other is executed. In the feature unit 063SG, the battle effect is executed as the super reach effect, but the effect other than the battle effect may be executed.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 starts accepting the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B at the timing when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the battle effect, and is effective in detecting the operation during this operation valid period. The operation promotion effect for promoting the operation of the operation target (stick controller 31A or push button 31B) is executed. As the operation promotion effect, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (A), the controller image Z1 imitating the stick controller 31A and the character image Z2 "close!" Are displayed on the image display device 5, or FIG. As shown in B), this is performed by displaying the push button image Z3 imitating the push button 31B and the character image Z4 "press!" On the image display device 5. It should be noted that the speakers 8L and 8R may output voices such as "close!" And "press!" And sound effects.

Next, the timing at which the detection signal of the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B is input within the operation valid period of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, that is, the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B by the player is detected. The result of the battle effect is notified at the timing when the operation valid period elapses without input of the detection signal of the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B. For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (C) and 8-19 (D), it is notified that the ally character wins the enemy character and the variable display result is a big hit, while it is variable. When the display result is lost, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (E) (F), if the player is defeated, it is notified that the variable display result is lost.

That is, the operation promotion effect is executed at the end of the super reach effect during the operation valid period in which the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is valid at the timing of notifying whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit. It is said to be a production. If the variable display result is a big hit, after notifying that the battle effect has been defeated, a relief effect may be executed to notify that the variable display result is a big hit.

(Controller assembly production)
Further, in the feature unit 063SG, the effect control CPU 120 uses the controller image Z1 or push that imitates the stick controller 31A as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (A) or 8-19 (B) in the operation promotion effect. Before displaying the push button image Z3 imitating the button 31B, that is, before the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B becomes effective, it is possible to execute the controller assembly effect of assembling the stick controller 31A. Then, when the assembly is successful (completed), the controller image Z1 prompting the operation of the stick controller 31A is displayed at a high ratio, and when the assembly fails (not completed), the push prompting the operation of the push button 31B is performed. The button image Z3 is displayed at a high rate.

As described with reference to FIG. 8-2, the stick controller 31A is composed of a plurality of parts (members), and in the controller assembly effect, each of the five parts A1 to A5 of the plurality of parts corresponds to each of the five parts A1 to A5. It is an effect of displaying parts images ZA1 to ZA5 in order in an assembling mode, and as shown in FIG. 8-9 (C), any of four effect patterns A to D having different assembly orders and assembly results can be executed. It is said that.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (A) to (F), the effect pattern A displays the component image ZA1 corresponding to the component A1 and then displays the component image ZA1 corresponding to the component A5 in the component image ZA1. It is displayed in the form of assembling ZA5, displayed in the form of assembling the part image ZA2 corresponding to the part A2 in the part image ZA1, and displayed in the form of assembling the part image ZA3 corresponding to the part A3 in the part image ZA1. Then, by displaying the component image ZA1 in the manner of assembling the component image ZA4 corresponding to the component A4, the completed image ZA6 in which all the component images ZA1 to ZA5 are finally used and the assembly is completed is displayed. In other words, it is a pattern in which assembly is successful (completed).

As shown in FIGS. 8-18 (A) to 8-18 (G), the effect pattern B is an embodiment in which the component image ZA1 corresponding to the component A1 is displayed and then the component image ZA2 corresponding to the component A2 is assembled to the component image ZA1. Is displayed in the form of assembling the part image ZA3 corresponding to the part A3 to the part image ZA1, and is displayed in the form of assembling the part image ZA4 corresponding to the part A4 to the part image ZA1. By displaying the component image ZA5 corresponding to the component A5 in the form of assembling, the completed image ZA6 in which all the component images ZA1 to ZA5 are finally used and the assembly is completed is displayed, that is, the assembly is successful. It is a pattern to be (completed).

As shown in FIGS. 8-17 (A) to (E) and (G), the effect pattern C has the same assembly order as the effect pattern A, but the component image ZA1 shows the component corresponding to the component A4. After displaying the image ZA4 in the form of assembling, the unfinished image ZA7 in which all the part images ZA1 to ZA5 are not used and the assembly is not completed is displayed, that is, the pattern in which the assembly fails (is not completed). Is.

As shown in FIGS. 8-18 (A) to (F) and (H), the effect pattern D has the same assembly order as the effect pattern B, but the component image ZA1 shows the component corresponding to the component A5. After displaying the image ZA5 in the form of assembling, the unfinished image ZA7 in which all the part images ZA1 to ZA5 are not used and the assembly is not completed is displayed, that is, the pattern in which the assembly fails (is not completed). Is.

Further, the assembly order of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 in these effect patterns A to D is shown in FIG. 8-2 in order to clearly indicate to the player that the stick controller 31A is being assembled. Since the order is different from the actual assembly order in the described manufacturing process, the effect of production can be enhanced. The assembly order of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 in the effect patterns A to D may be the same as the actual assembly order in the manufacturing process.

Further, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 are images that do not include some of the plurality of components (members) constituting the stick controller 31A. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 and 8-18, the component image ZA2 corresponding to the component A2 (rear base 604) has the wiring C, the connector CN, the controller sensor unit 35A, and the push of the actual rear base 604. Since the display of the component image corresponding to the electronic component such as the sensor 35B is omitted (not displayed), the appearance of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 is impaired by the electronic component image corresponding to the electronic component such as the wiring C and the connector CN. Can be suppressed. It should be noted that the display of parts other than electronic parts may be omitted.

Further, in the effect pattern B, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 are displayed in order, and as shown in FIGS. 8-18 (E), (F), and (G), the component images ZA1 to ZA5 are more characteristic than the components A1 to A4. By displaying the component image ZA5 corresponding to the component A5 in a manner of assembling after the component images ZA1 to ZA4, the stick controller 31A can be suitably noticed and the stick controller 31A is most recognized. By displaying the easy-to-use part image ZA5 at the end, it is possible to make it difficult to predict what will be assembled until the end, which improves the interest.

Further, the component image ZA5 is displayed in a manner that is more visible to the player than the other component images ZA1 to ZA4. Specifically, an embodiment having higher visibility by the player than the other component images ZA1 to ZA4 is an embodiment in which the component image ZA5 is assembled to the component image ZA1 as shown in FIG. 8-18 (E), for example. When displaying with, the part image ZA5 is enlarged and highlighted, the effect image is displayed around the part image ZA5 to highlight it, or the image display device 5 is moved from the peripheral edge to the center. It includes an aspect in which a player can easily identify a part as compared with other parts images ZA1 to ZA4. And by displaying in this way, the effect of production can be further enhanced.

Further, in the controller assembly effect, the effect patterns A and B for displaying the completed controller image Z1 by displaying the component images ZA2 to ZA5 in the form of assembling the component image ZA1 and the component image ZA5 are assembled on the component image ZA1. When the effect patterns A and B that include the effect patterns C and D that do not display the completed controller image Z1 and finally display the completed controller image Z1 by displaying in a mode not attached are determined. It is a big hit at a higher rate than the effect patterns C and D that do not display the finally completed controller image Z1. Therefore, it is possible to expect the player to succeed (complete) the assembly production, which improves the interest.

Further, even if the variable display result is a big hit, the push button 31B may be determined as the operation target, or the effect patterns A and C in which the characteristic component A4 is not assembled at the end are selected. Or, since the production patterns C and D that are not completed due to the final assembly failure may be selected, the player's expectation for the big hit can be maintained regardless of which production pattern is selected. can.

Further, in the present feature unit 063SG, a mode in which one of the effect patterns A to D is selected is exemplified as the effect pattern of the controller assembly effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of parts is not limited to this. It may be possible to select one from a plurality of effect patterns including other effect patterns having different component types, component assembly orders, and the like.

In the operation promotion effect pattern determination process of 063SGS279 in FIG. 8-8, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is valid based on the variable display result, and executes the controller assembly effect. It is determined whether or not the effect pattern is to be executed and which of the effect patterns A to D is to be executed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (A), the effect control CPU 120 has an operation unit (operation) that enables the operation when the fluctuation pattern is a jackpot fluctuation pattern (when the variable display result is a jackpot). As a target), the stick controller 31A is determined at a rate of 80%, and the push button 31B is determined at a rate of 20%. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern is a loss fluctuation pattern (when the variable display result is a loss), the stick controller 31A is determined at a rate of 20% as the operation unit (operation target) for which the operation is valid, and the push button 31B is used. Is determined at a rate of 80%. In this way, when the operation of the stick controller 31A becomes effective at the end of the battle effect, the jack controller 31A becomes a big hit at a higher rate than the operation of the push button 31B becomes effective, so that the stick controller 31A is more reliable than the push button 31B. The degree is high.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-9 (B), when the operation target is determined to be the stick controller 31A, the effect control CPU 120 determines the non-execution of the controller assembly effect at a rate of 5%, and determines the effect pattern A. It is determined at a rate of 25%, the effect pattern B is determined at a rate of 60%, and the effect patterns C and D are determined at a rate of 5% each. On the other hand, when the operation target is determined to be the push button 31B, the non-execution of the controller assembly effect is determined at a rate of 20%, the effect patterns A and B are determined at a rate of 5% each, and the effect pattern C is determined at a rate of 50%. It is determined by the ratio, and the effect pattern D is determined by the ratio of 20%.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 stores in the RAM 122 the type of the determined operation target, the presence / absence of execution of the controller assembly effect, and the type of the effect patterns A to D determined when the controller assembly effect is executed. The determination ratio is arbitrary and can be changed in various ways.

In this way, when the operation target is determined to be the stick controller 31A, the controller assembly effect is executed at a higher rate than the controller assembly effect is not executed, and the effect patterns A and B that succeed in assembling fail to assemble. While it is determined at a higher rate than the effect patterns C and D to be performed, when the operation target is determined to be the push button 31B, the controller assembly effect is not executed at a higher rate than when the operation target is determined to be the stick controller 31A. At the same time, even when the execution of the controller assembly effect is determined, the effect patterns C and D that fail to assemble are determined at a higher ratio than the effect patterns A and B that succeed in assembling.

Therefore, if the controller assembly effect is executed and the assembly is successful, the jackpot will be higher than when the controller assembly effect is not executed or the assembly fails. In addition, when the controller assembly effect is not executed, the loss occurs at a higher rate than when the assembly is successful. That is, the effect patterns A and B that succeed in assembling have higher jackpot reliability than the effect patterns C and D that fail in assembly. Further, the effect pattern B that succeeds in assembling has a higher jackpot reliability than the effect pattern A that succeeds in assembly, and the effect pattern C that fails in assembly has a lower jackpot reliability than the effect pattern D that fails in assembly. Therefore, the jackpot reliability is set to be higher in the order of the effect pattern B, the effect pattern A, the effect pattern D, and the effect pattern C. The determination ratio is arbitrary and can be changed in various ways.

As described above, the effect control CPU 120 is assembled when the variable display result is a big hit, the stick controller 31A is selected as the operation target at a higher ratio than the push button 31B, and the operation target is the stick controller 31A. Since the effect patterns A and B that succeed in assembling are selected at a higher rate than the effect patterns C and D that fail to assemble, if the controller assembly effect is successful and the operation of the stick controller 31A becomes effective, a big hit will occur at a high rate. ..

Further, in the operation promotion effect, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (A) and 8-19 (B), the controller image Z1 or the push button image Z3 is displayed at the start timing of the operation valid period to notify the operation promotion. By performing the controller assembly effect before performing these operation promotion notifications, that is, before the operation valid period is started, the stick controller 31A for performing the operation can be focused on the player. Therefore, it is possible to notify in advance that the operation valid period will be started to a player or the like who is particularly inexperienced in the game. Further, instead of displaying the controller image Z1 or the push button image Z3 shown in FIGS. 8-19 (A) and 8-19 (B) over a predetermined period, the start timing of the operation valid period is determined by using the controller assembly effect. Since it is possible to raise awareness, it is possible to appropriately improve the interest.

If it is determined in the operation promotion effect pattern determination process that the controller assembly effect is not executed, the controller assembly effect is not started even at the start timing of the controller assembly effect, and then FIGS. 8-19 (A) and 8- By displaying the controller image Z1 or the push button image Z3 as shown in 19 (B), the operation promotion notification is performed.

Further, the feature unit 063SG exemplifies a mode in which non-execution of the controller assembly effect may be determined in the operation promotion effect pattern determination process, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the component images ZA1 to ZA1 to Although ZA5 is displayed, it may be possible to select an effect pattern that does not display the mode of assembling these component images ZA1 to ZA5, that is, displays the mode of not assembling.

Further, after displaying the button component images corresponding to the components constituting the push button 31B, the push button assembly effect of displaying these button component images in the form of assembling is started, and then the push button is pushed before or after the assembly is completed. By displaying the button image Z3 in a disassembled manner, it may have an effect pattern in which assembly fails.

Further, it may have an effect pattern in which the controller assembly effect is started and the assembly is successful to display the controller image Z1 after displaying the push button image Z3 in a disassembled manner.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (F) and 8-18 (G), after displaying the mode in which the final component images ZA4 and ZA5 are assembled, the assembled controller image Z1 is used for a gaming machine. The mode of assembling to the glass door frame of the frame 3 may be displayed.

(Parts assembly production)
In the feature unit 063SG, the effect control CPU 120 displays a related effect image related to the effect image (controller image Z1 and push button image Z3) used for the operation promotion effect before starting the operation promotion effect in the super reach effect. After displaying in stages, either the promotion effect of the first aspect (operation promotion effect in which the controller image Z1 is displayed) or the promotion effect of the second aspect (operation promotion effect in which the push button image Z3 is displayed) It is possible to execute a component assembly effect that makes it possible to specify whether or not it will be executed.

The stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are composed of a plurality of parts (members) as described in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-3, and thus the stick controller 31A is configured in the parts assembly effect. The part images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to each of the five parts A1 to A5 among the plurality of parts and the part images ZC1 to ZC5 corresponding to each of the five parts C1 to C5 among the plurality of parts constituting the push button 31B are As related effect images related to the effect images (controller image Z1 and push button image Z3) used for the operation promotion effect, they are displayed step by step one by one during the execution period of the battle effect.

When all or a part of the plurality of component images ZA1 to ZA5 related to the stick controller 31A is displayed in the component assembly effect, there is a high possibility that the operation of the stick controller 31A will be promoted in the subsequent operation promotion effect. It is suggested that when all or a part of the component images ZC1 to ZC5 related to the push button 31B is displayed, it is highly likely that the operation of the push button 31B is promoted in the subsequent operation promotion effect. To. That is, in the parts set effect executed before the operation promotion effect is executed, the operation is promoted by the operation promotion effect by displaying the part images ZA1 to ZA5 or the part images ZC1 to ZC5 in stages. It suggests (becomes identifiable) whether the unit is a stick controller 31A or a push button 31B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-14, when the effect control CPU 120 is displaying the battle effect image Z50 for battle effect in the display area of the image display device 5, the battle effect image Z50 in the display area is displayed. In the specific display area Z51 above the above, a plurality of component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed one by one in order.

When displaying the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5, first, which of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 related to the stick controller 31A and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 related to the push button 31B is displayed. After displaying in a difficult-to-identify mode, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 related to the stick controller 31A and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 related to the push button 31B are changed to an identifiable mode. After that, the display mode is maintained.

As shown in FIGS. 8-11 (A) and 8-11, specifically, both the component images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to the stick controller 31A and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 corresponding to the push button 31B are displayed. The display mode changes in a plurality of stages (for example, four stages) according to the passage of time from the start of.

Each part image ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 have a black silhouette having a different outer shape and surface aspect from the parts A1 to A5 of the stick controller 31A or the parts C1 to C5 of the push button 31B in the first stage and the second stage. It is displayed in a common silhouette mode in which white characters such as "?" Are displayed. The common silhouette mode is a mode commonly used when displaying a component image of either the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B.

In the third stage, the parts A1 to A5 of the stick controller 31A or the parts C1 to C5 of the push button 31B are displayed in a black individual silhouette embodiment. The individual silhouette mode is a non-common mode that is used individually when displaying the component image of the stick controller 31A and when displaying the component image of the push button 31B.

In the fourth stage, it is displayed in an icon mode representing the parts A1 to A5 of the stick controller 31A or the parts C1 to C5 of the push button 31B themselves. In the fourth stage, parts A1 to A5 and parts C1 to C5 are shown in white, and parts A1 to A5 and parts C1 to C5 are shown in different colors (for example, red), and a flame is emitted around them. It is possible to display a special mode for displaying the effect image shown.

When the effect control CPU 120 displays each component image ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 in order, the display mode of each component image is changed in the order of the first stage, the second stage, the third stage, and the fourth stage. .. For example, the display mode of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 in the first stage may be gradually changed to the display modes of the component images in the second stage, the third stage, and the fourth stage by using the moving image display. Then, after displaying the parts images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 of the first stage, they are displayed by switching (updating) the parts images of the second stage, the third stage, and the fourth stage every time a predetermined time elapses. The aspect may be changed.

As described above, in the first to third stages, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 identify the silhouette mode, that is, whether the player is the component image of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. Is displayed in a difficult identification mode, and in the fourth stage, the part images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed in a clear mode, that is, whether the player is a part image of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. It is displayed in an identifiable manner that can be identified. Therefore, from the start of displaying the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 to the third stage, the player cannot predict which component image of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B will be displayed. You can be interested in whether the part image of is displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-11, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 as specific effect images are the promotion effect of the first aspect (operation promotion effect in which the controller image Z1 is displayed) and the second aspect. As a mode in which it is difficult to distinguish which of the promotion effect (operation promotion effect in which the push button image Z3 is displayed) is executed, the component images of the first to third stages are targeted, but the third stage As for the component image, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 of the stick controller 31A and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 of the push button 31B may be compared to each other so that they can be identified.

Here, to explain an example of the component assembly effect that displays the component images ZC1 to ZC5 of the push button 31B, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (A), the effect control CPU 120 first starts the battle effect. At the timing when a predetermined time has elapsed from Display at (1st stage). Next, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (B), the part image ZC1 is changed from a black circular shape to a black non-circular common silhouette mode (second stage), and as shown in FIG. 8-14 (C). After displaying the component image ZC1 in the individual silhouette mode (third stage), the component image ZC1 is displayed in the icon mode as shown in FIG. 8-14 (D) (fourth stage).

Further, when the part image ZC1 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZC2 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZC1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (FIGS. 8-14 (D) to (G)). Further, when the part image ZC2 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZC3 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZC1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (Fig. 8-14 (G)-(J)). Further, when the part image ZC3 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZC4 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZC1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (Fig. 8-14 (J)-(M)). Further, when the part image ZC4 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZC5 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZC1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (Fig. 8-14 (M)-(Q)).

As shown in FIGS. 8-14 (M) to (Q), the last part image ZC5 is displayed in a common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is the same as that of the part image ZC1. When changing from the 1st stage to the 4th stage, by highlighting such as blinking around the part image ZC5, it changes to the 4th stage and creates an effect that incites whether or not the assembly is successful. You may.

In this way, the display mode of each component image ZC1 to ZC5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 changes from the first stage to the fourth stage, and the number of component images ZC1 to ZC5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 changes. By increasing the number, the display mode of the component images ZC1 to ZC5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 changes stepwise. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (Q), when the component image ZC5 is displayed in the icon mode, all the component images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed, and the assembly of the components is successful. On the other hand, for example, in FIGS. 8-14 (J) (K), after the part image ZC4 is displayed in the silhouette mode, the part image ZC4 disappears while changing to the individual silhouette mode, so that the part images ZC4 and ZC5 May not be displayed and the assembly of parts may fail.

Further, explaining the component set effect for displaying the component images ZA1 to ZA5 of the stick controller 31A, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (A), the effect control CPU 120 first has a predetermined time after the battle effect is started. At the timing when (First stage). Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (B), the part image ZA1 is changed from a black circular shape to a black non-circular common silhouette mode (second stage), and as shown in FIG. 8-15 (C). After displaying the part image ZA1 in the individual silhouette mode (third stage), the part image ZA1 is displayed in the icon mode as shown in FIG. 8-15 (D) (fourth stage).

Further, when the part image ZA1 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZA2 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZA1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (FIGS. 8-15 (D) to (G)). Further, when the part image ZA2 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZA3 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZA1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (Fig. 8-15 (G)-(J)). Further, when the part image ZA3 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZA4 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZA1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (Fig. 8-15 (J)-(M)). Further, when the part image ZA4 is displayed in the icon mode, the next part image ZA5 is displayed in the common silhouette mode of a black circle (first stage), and the display mode is displayed from the first stage in the same manner as the part image ZA1. It is changed up to the 4th stage (Fig. 8-15 (M)-(Q)).

In this way, the display mode of each component image ZA1 to ZA5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 changes from the first stage to the fourth stage, and the number of component images ZA1 to ZA5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 changes. By increasing the number, the display mode of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 changes stepwise. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (Q), when the component image ZA5 is displayed in the icon mode, all the component images ZA1 to ZA5 are displayed, and the assembly of the components is successful. On the other hand, for example, in FIGS. 8-15 (J) (K), after the part image ZA4 is displayed in the silhouette mode, the part image ZA4 disappears while changing to the individual silhouette mode, so that the part images ZA4 and ZA5 May not be displayed and the assembly of parts may fail.

In the present embodiment, when the component images ZA1 to ZA5 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed in stages, one component image is displayed and changed from the first stage to the fourth stage, and then the other. The embodiment in which the component images are displayed in order has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and after displaying one component image, it is possible to identify which component image is the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. While changing to the difficult 2nd stage or 3rd stage, other parts images are changed to the 2nd stage or 3rd stage in the same way, and it is displayed at the timing when a predetermined number of parts images are displayed. The display mode of at least a part of the plurality of component images may be changed up to the fourth stage. By doing so, it is not possible to know which part image of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is displayed until a predetermined number of part images are displayed, so that the player's interest can be maintained. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, in the component assembly effect, the embodiment in which the component images ZA1 to ZA5 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed in the specific display area Z51 which is a part of the display area of the image display device 5 is exemplified. The present invention is not limited to this, and the display is performed in a display area other than the display area of the image display device 5 (for example, a sub-image display device provided separately from the image display device 5). May be good.

As shown in FIG. 8-10 (A), the effect control CPU 120 performs the component set effect on a plurality of effect patterns PT1-1 to 3 and PT2-1 having different changes in the type of the component image and the display mode of the component image. It is feasible based on any one of the above three.

The effect pattern PT1-1 gradually changes in the order of the common silhouette, the individual silhouette, and the icon for the part images ZC1 to ZC3 of the push button 31B, but finally the parts images ZC4 and 5 are not displayed and are assembled. Is a pattern that fails. The effect pattern PT1-2 changes stepwise in the order of common silhouette, individual silhouette, and icon for the part images ZC1 to ZC5 of the push button 31B, and finally all the part images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed and the assembly is successful. It is a pattern. The effect pattern PT1-3 gradually changes in the order of the common silhouette, the individual silhouette, and the icon (effect mode) for the component images ZC1 to ZC5 of the push button 31B, and finally all the component images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed. It is a pattern in which the set is successful.

The effect pattern PT2-1 gradually changes in the order of the common silhouette, the individual silhouette, and the icon for the parts images ZA1 to ZA3 of the stick controller 31A, but finally the parts images ZA4 and ZA5 are not displayed and are assembled. Is a pattern that fails. The effect pattern PT2-2 changes stepwise in the order of common silhouette, individual silhouette, and icon for the part images ZA1 to ZA5 of the stick controller 31A, and finally all the part images ZA1 to ZA5 are displayed and the assembly is successful. It is a pattern. The effect pattern PT2-3 changes stepwise in the order of the common silhouette, the individual silhouette, and the icon (effect mode) for the component images ZA1 to ZA5 of the stick controller 31A, and finally all the component images ZA1 to ZA5 are displayed. It is a pattern in which the set is successful.

After completing the operation promotion effect pattern determination process of 063SGS279 in FIG. 8-8, the effect control CPU 120 determines the component set effect pattern in the 063SGS280 based on the determination result in the operation promotion effect pattern determination process. Perform decision processing.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (B), in the effect control CPU 120, in the operation promotion effect pattern determination process of 063SGS279, either the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect. Depending on the height, one of a plurality of parts set production patterns is determined.

Specifically, when the stick controller 31A is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, the non-execution of the parts assembly effect is determined at a rate of 5%, and the effect pattern PT1-1 is determined at a rate of 3%. , The effect pattern PT1-2 is determined at a rate of 5%, the effect pattern PT1-3 is determined at a rate of 7%, the effect pattern PT2-1 is determined at a rate of 10%, and the effect pattern PT2-2 is determined at a rate of 30. It is determined at a rate of%, and the effect pattern PT2-3 is determined at a rate of 40%.

On the other hand, when the push button 31B is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, the non-execution of the parts assembly effect is determined at a rate of 20%, the effect pattern PT1-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, and the effect pattern is determined. PT1-2 is determined at a ratio of 20%, production pattern PT1-3 is determined at a ratio of 15%, production pattern PT2-1 is determined at a ratio of 7%, and production pattern PT2-2 is determined at a ratio of 5%. The effect pattern PT2-3 is determined at a rate of 3%.

Then, when the effect control CPU 120 decides to execute the component set effect, the component set effect execution decision flag is set, and the determined types of the effect patterns PT1-1 to PT2-3 are stored in the RAM 122. The determination ratio is arbitrary and can be changed in various ways.

In this way, when the stick controller 31A is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, the effect patterns PT2-1 to PT2-3 displaying the component images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to the stick controller 31A are displayed on the push button 31B. When the push button 31B is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, it is determined at a higher ratio than the effect patterns PT1-1 to PT1-3 displaying the component images ZC1 to ZC5 corresponding to the push button 31B. The effect patterns PT1-1 to PT1-3 displaying the corresponding component images ZC1 to ZC5 are determined at a higher ratio than the effect patterns PT2-1 to PT2-3 displaying the component images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to the stick controller 31A. do.

In this way, in the component assembly effect, which of the controller image Z1 and the push button image Z3 is the effect image displayed in the operation promotion effect, that is, the operation target in the operation promotion effect is the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. It is an effect suggesting which is which, by displaying the component images ZA1 to ZA5 related to the controller image Z1 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 related to the push button image Z3 step by step.

Further, when the stick controller 31A is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, it is highly possible that the execution of the controller assembly effect is determined, so that all the component images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to the stick controller 31A are displayed. The effect patterns PT2-2 and PT2-3 that are successfully set are determined at a higher rate than the effect patterns PT2-1 that fail to set. That is, when the component set effect of the set success based on the effect patterns PT2-2 and PT2-3 is executed, the operation is performed at a higher rate than when the component set effect of the set failure based on the effect pattern PT2-1 is executed. In the promotion effect, the operation of the stick controller 31A is promoted through the controller assembly effect.

Further, when the push button 31B is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, the effect patterns PT1-1 and PT2-1 that fail to set are the effect patterns PT1-2, 1-3 and PT2- that succeed in the set. Since it is determined at a higher rate than 2, 2-3, when the parts assembly effect based on the effect pattern PT1-1 or PT2-1 that fails to set is executed, the push button image Z3 is displayed in the operation promotion effect. There is a high possibility that

Further, when the stick controller 31A is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, there is a high possibility that the variable display result is a big hit, so that the effect patterns PT1-1, PT1-2, PT1-3, PT2-1, When the execution rate increases in the order of PT2-2 and PT2-3 and the push button 31B is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, there is a high possibility that the variable display result is lost, so the effect pattern PT2-3. , PT2-2, PT2-1, PT1-3, PT1-2, PT1-1 in that order. Therefore, the reliability (expectation) of the jackpot is set to be higher in the order of the effect patterns PT1-1, PT1-2, PT1-3, PT2-1, PT2-2, and PT2-3.

As described above, when the stick controller 31A is determined as the operation target of the operation promotion effect, the parts assembly effect is determined to be executed at a higher rate than when the push button 31B is determined, but the push button 31B is determined. Is determined, the variable display result is lost, or the execution of the controller assembly effect is not determined.

Further, in the feature unit 063SG, the display mode of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 (specific effect images) displayed in the specific display area Z51 in the component assembly effect is the specific display mode (all in the specific display area Z51). When the component images ZA1 to ZA5 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed in the display mode of the set success), the operation of the stick controller 31A is promoted in the operation promotion effect at a higher rate than in the case where the specific display mode is not displayed. Although the embodiment is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display mode of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 (specific effect images) displayed in the specific display area Z51 in the component assembly effect is the display mode. It is sufficient that the operation of the stick controller 31A can be promoted in the operation promotion effect when the specific display mode is adopted. For example, when the specific display mode is adopted, the operation promotion is performed at a higher rate than that of the push button 31B. It may be set so that the operation of the stick controller 31A is promoted in the production.

Returning to FIG. 8-8, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the component set effect execution flag is set after executing the component set effect pattern determination process on the 063SGS280 (063SGS281). When the parts set effect execution flag is set, the time until the start of the parts set effect is set in the parts set effect start wait timer (063SGS282), the parts set effect execution decision flag is set, and the parts set effect execution flag is set. Is cleared (063SGS283). If the parts set effect execution flag is not set in 063SGS281, the process proceeds to 063SGS284 as it is. Then, an effect control pattern (process table) according to the content determined in the operation promotion effect pattern determination process is selected (063SGS284), and the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (063SGS285).

In the process table, display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R are controlled. The sound control execution data, the operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, etc. are sequentially arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). There is.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect device (image display as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L, 8R as production parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (063SGS286). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control lighting / extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern specification command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed according to the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one, but the effect control CPU 120 specifies the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (063SGS287). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (063SGS288). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and each time the predetermined time elapses, the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right to the VRAM, and the display control unit 123 writes to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, whereby variable display (variation) of the decorative pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (step S172) (063SGS289).

FIG. 8-12 is a flowchart showing the effect processing during variable display (step S172) in the effect control process process. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 sets the respective values of the process timer, the variable display time timer, and the variable display control timer by -1 (063SGS301, 063SGS302,063SGS303). In the effect control CPU 120, the timer for waiting for the start of the advance notice effect is set (it is determined to perform the advance notice effect), or the flag during the advance notice effect is set (during the execution of the advance notice effect). If there is), the advance notice effect processing may be executed.

In 063SGS306, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process timer has timered out. If the process timer is out, the process data is switched (063SGS307). That is, the process timer is started again by setting the process timer setting value set next in the process table to the process timer (063SGS308). Further, the control state for the effect device (effect component) is changed based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, etc., which are set next (063SGS309a). On the other hand, when the process timer is not timer-out, the effect device (for effect) is according to the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.). The control of the component) is executed (063SGS309b).

Next, when the execution of the operation promotion effect is determined in the operation promotion effect pattern determination process of 063SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 promotes the operation based on the determined assembly effect pattern at the execution timing of the operation promotion effect. A process for executing the effect is performed (063SGS310). Further, when the execution of the parts set effect is determined in the parts set effect pattern determination process of 063SGS280, the process of executing the parts set effect based on the determined effect pattern is performed at the execution timing of the parts set effect (the process of executing the parts set effect is performed. 063SGS310a). Further, when the execution of the operation promotion effect is determined in the operation promotion effect pattern determination process of 063SGS279, the process of executing the operation promotion effect based on the determined assembly effect pattern is performed at the execution timing of the operation promotion effect. (063SGS310).

Then, it is confirmed whether or not the variable display control timer is out of the timer (063SGS311). When the variable display control timer is out of the timer (063SGS311; Y), the effect control CPU 120 is displayed on the next display screen of the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right (30 ms after the previous display switching of the decorative symbol). Image data of the screen to be) is created and written in a predetermined area of VRAM (063SGS312). In this way, the image display device 5 realizes variable display control of the decorative pattern. The display control unit 123 transmits a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. In this way, the image display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the decorative pattern in the variation of the decorative pattern. Further, the predetermined value is reset to the variable display control timer (063SGS313).

Further, when the variable display control timer is not timer-out (063SGS311; N), after the execution of 063SGS313, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variable display time timer is timer-out (063SGS314). If the variable display time timer is out of the timer, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to the value corresponding to the special figure hit wait process (step S173) (063SGS316). Even if the variable display time timer is not timer-out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is set (063SGS315; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is waited for per special figure. The value is updated according to (step S173) (063SGS316). Even if the variable display time timer is not out of the timer, the control shifts to stop the fluctuation when the symbol confirmation specification command is received. Therefore, for example, the fluctuation pattern specification command that indicates a long fluctuation time due to noise between the boards. Is received, the variable display of the decorative symbol can be terminated when the regular variable display time has elapsed (at the end of the variable display of the special symbol).

In the process table used for the variable display control of the decorative symbol, the process data during the variable display of the decorative symbol is set. That is, the sum of the process timer setting values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the variable display time of the decorative symbol. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n in the processing of 063SGS306 times out, there is no process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, etc.) to be switched, and the variable display control of the decorative symbol based on the process table is performed. finish.

(Launch operation promotion production)
The effect control CPU 120 launches the game ball so that the game ball flows down the second path K2 when the big hit game state or the time saving state is started in the launch operation promotion effect process of 063SGS162 shown in FIG. 8-7. The launch operation promotion effect A and the launch operation promotion effect B are executed. In addition, when the time saving state ends and the game is controlled to the normal game state (low accuracy low base state), a left-handed notification is issued to urge the game ball to be launched so that the game ball flows down the first path K1. Execute.

An example of the effect executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the big hit game state will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-20 and 8-21. FIG. 8-20 is a timing chart illustrating an example of the effect in the jackpot gaming state. FIG. 8-21 is a diagram illustrating a flow of production from the start of the big hit gaming state to the control to the normal gaming state via the reduced working hours state.

As shown in FIG. 8-20, when the display result of the variable display becomes a big hit (for example, a non-probable variable big hit) in the normal gaming state (or the time saving state) (see FIG. 8-21 (A)), for effect control. The CPU 120 starts the big hit start effect (fanfare effect) at the timing Ta0 when it receives the effect control command that specifies to start the big hit game state in the special figure hit wait process of 063SGS173 shown in FIG. 8-7. In the fanfare period (execution period of the big hit opening pre-processing) from the timing Ta0 when the effect control command is received to the timing Ta2 when the round game is started, first, the big hit start effect indicating that the big hit has occurred is executed, and then the big hit. At the timing Ta1 when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the start effect, the launch operation promotion effect A for urging the game ball to be launched so as to flow down the second path K2 is started (see FIG. 8-22). ).

In the launch operation promotion effect A, after executing the handle assembly effect described later, a right-handed notification to the effect that the right-handed operation is performed from the timing Ta2 when the handle assembly effect ends to the timing Ta3 when the round game starts. I do.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the big hit middle effect (round effect) during the round game period (execution period of the big hit opening process) from the timing Ta2 at which the fanfare period ends to the timing Ta4 at which the round game ends (execution period of the big hit opening process). 8-21 (B)). Then, in the ending period (execution period of the large hit opening post-processing) from the timing Ta4 at which the round game period ends to the timing Ta7 at which the big hit game state ends, first, the big hit ends and the time shortening state (chance time) is entered. After executing the jackpot end effect indicating that effect (see FIG. 8-21 (C)), the game ball flows down the second path K2 at the timing Ta5 when a predetermined time has elapsed from the end of the effect during the round. The launch operation promotion effect B for prompting the launch of the game ball is started (see FIGS. 8-23 and 8-24).

In the launch operation promotion effect B, after executing the route assembly effect described later, a right-handed notification to the effect that the right-handed operation is performed from the timing Ta6 at which the route assembly effect ends to the timing Ta7 at which the jackpot gaming state ends. I do.

In addition, the time saving state (low accuracy high base) from the timing Ta7 controlled to the low accuracy high base state after the big hit game state ends to the timing Ta8 in which the variable display is executed 100 times without the occurrence of a new big hit. In the state), the effect image Z10 corresponding to the time reduction state, the variable display image Z11 of the decorative pattern, the remaining fluctuation number image Z12 in the time reduction state, and the notification image Z13 consisting of "right-handed" and "→" indicating right-handedness. And are displayed (see FIG. 8-21 (D)).

After displaying the notification image Z14 indicating that the time saving state has ended at the timing Ta8 at which the 100th variable display has ended since the end of the jackpot game state (see FIG. 8-21 (E)), a predetermined period has been set from the timing Ta8. Until the elapsed timing Ta9, "Please return to left-handed", "←" and the ball-hit operation handle that prompt the game to launch (return to left-handed) so that the game ball flows down the first path K1. A notification image Z15 consisting of a handle image imitating 30 is displayed, and a left-handed notification (left-handed operation promotion effect) is performed by outputting a voice "Please return to left-handed" from the speakers 8L and 8R (Fig.). 8-21 (F)).

In this feature unit 063SG, the case where the control is controlled to the low probability high base state after the end of the non-probability jackpot A has been described, but even when the probability variation jackpot A or the probability variation jackpot B is controlled to the high accuracy high base state. , The launch operation promotion effect A is executed at the start of the big hit, and the launch operation promotion effect B is executed at the end of the big hit. Since the high-accuracy and high-base state continues, left-handed notification (left-handed operation promotion effect) is not performed.

Further, when the effect control CPU 120 performs left-handed notification (left-handed operation promotion effect), the handle assembly effect described later is not executed.

(Handle assembly production)
Next, the handle assembly effect in the launch operation promotion effect A will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-22. 8-22 are views for explaining the flow of the handle assembly effect in the launch operation promotion effect A, and FIGS. 8-22 are diagrams showing a right-handed notification.

As described in FIG. 8-4, the ball striking operation handle 30 is composed of a plurality of parts (members), and in the handle assembly effect, each of the four parts B1 to B4 among these plurality of parts is supported. It is an effect of displaying the component images ZB1 to ZB4 in a manner of assembling them.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-22 (A) to (E), the part image ZB1 corresponding to the part B1 is assembled to the door frame image Z16 corresponding to the glass door frame of the gaming machine frame 3. After displaying in the embodiment, the component image ZB1 is displayed in the mode of assembling the component image ZB2 corresponding to the component B2, and the component image ZB1 is displayed in the embodiment of assembling the component image ZB3 corresponding to the component B3. By displaying the image ZB1 in the manner of assembling the component image ZB4 corresponding to the component B4, the completed image ZB5 of the ball striking operation handle 30 in which all the component images ZB1 to ZB4 are finally displayed is displayed. be.

In the right-handed notification, the handle image Z17 that rotates the hitting ball operation handle 30 to the right and the right arrow image Z18 corresponding to the right arrow displaying the character information "right-handed!" Are displayed, and the speaker 8L is displayed. , 8R outputs the voice "Please hit right". The effect control CPU 120 displays a right arrow image Z5 that prompts right-handed striking during execution of the steering wheel assembly effect and right-handed striking notification.

Further, the assembly order of the component images ZB1 to ZB4 in the handle assembly effect is described with reference to FIG. 8-4 in order to clearly indicate to the player that the ball striking operation handle 30 is being assembled. Since the order is different from the actual assembly order in the manufacturing process, the effect of production can be enhanced. The assembly order of the component images ZB1 to ZB4 in the handle assembly effect may be the same as the actual assembly order in the manufacturing process.

Further, the component images ZB1 to ZB4 are images that do not include some of the plurality of components (members) constituting the ball striking operation handle 30. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-22, the component image ZB1 corresponding to the component B1 (handle base 720) includes the wiring C, the connector CN, the touch ring 728, and the handle sensor (not shown) of the actual handle base 720. Since the display of the electronic component image corresponding to the electronic component such as the single-shot switch 725 is omitted (not displayed), the appearance of the component images ZB1 to ZB4 is impaired by the component image corresponding to the component such as the wiring C and the connector CN. It can be suppressed. It should be noted that the display of parts other than electronic parts may be omitted.

Further, in the handle assembly effect, the component image ZB4 corresponding to the component B4, which is more characteristic than the components B1 to B3, is displayed in a manner of assembling after the component images ZB1 to ZB3, which is suitable for the ball striking operation handle 30. The part image ZB4, which is the easiest to recognize that it is the ball striking operation handle 30, is displayed at the end, which makes it difficult to predict what will be assembled until the end. Is improved.

Further, the component image ZB4 may be displayed in a form having higher visibility by the player than the other component images ZB1 to ZB3. Specifically, a mode in which the visibility by the player is higher than that of the other part images ZB1 to ZB3 is, for example, an enlarged display of the part image ZB4 or a part when the part image ZB4 is displayed in a mode of assembling. The player can highlight the effect image by displaying it around the image ZB4, or move it from the peripheral edge of the display area of the image display device 5 toward the center to display it. Includes aspects that make it easy to identify parts. And by displaying in this way, the effect of production can be further enhanced.

Further, in the handle assembly effect, the part images ZB1 to ZB4 are assembled to the door frame image Z16 by a procedure other than the above procedure, in addition to the effect pattern for displaying the component images ZB1 to ZB4 in the mode of assembling the part images ZB1 to ZB4 to the door frame image Z16 in the above order. The effect pattern to be displayed in the embodiment may be included.

Also, in the handle assembly effect, all the parts images ZB1 to ZB4 are not used, the assembly fails and the unfinished image of the ball striking operation handle 30 is displayed, and then the assembly is started again to display the completed image ZB5. You may try to do it.

(Route assembly production)
Next, the route assembly effect in the launch operation promotion effect B will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-23. 8-23 are diagrams for explaining the flow of the route assembly effect in the launch operation promotion effect B in FIGS. 8-23. 8-24 are diagrams in which (G) to (K) explain the flow of the flow effect of the game ball in the launch operation promotion effect B, and FIGS. 8-24 are diagrams showing right-handed notification.

As described with reference to FIG. 8-1, the second path K2 is configured by arranging a plurality of parts (members) on the game board 2 and the game board 2, and these game boards are used in the route assembly effect. The effect is such that the component images ZD1 to ZD4 corresponding to each of the four components D1 to D4 among the plurality of components including 2 are assembled to the game board image Z20 corresponding to the game board 2. In the following, the parts constituting the special variable winning ball device 7 are the parts D1, the parts constituting the variable winning ball device 6B are the parts D2, the parts constituting the passage gate 41 are the parts D3, and a part of the second path K2. The passage component (passage member) to be formed will be referred to as a component D4 and will be described.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 (A) to (E), the effect control CPU 120 displays the component image ZD1 corresponding to the component D1 in a manner of assembling the component image ZD1 to the game board image Z20. The part image ZD2 corresponding to the part D2 is displayed on the game board image Z20 in the form of assembling, the part image ZD3 corresponding to the part D3 is displayed on the game board image Z20, and the part is displayed on the game board image Z20. By displaying the component image ZD4 corresponding to D4 in the form of assembling, at least a part of the path image corresponding to the second path K2 (for example, the game board image Z20 and the component images ZD1 to ZD4) is finally used. It is an effect to display the route image).

In addition, the assembly order of the component images ZD1 to ZD4 in these route assembly effects is the actual assembly in the manufacturing process in order to clearly indicate to the player that the second path K2 is being assembled. Since the order is different from the order, the effect of the effect can be enhanced. The assembly order of the component images ZD1 to ZD4 in the route assembly effect may be the same as the actual assembly order in the manufacturing process.

Further, the part D4 {passage part (passage member)} is actually formed integrally with the center decorative frame 5c, but in the route assembly production, the part is formed separately from the center decorative frame 5c. By displaying it as an image ZD4, it is possible to enhance the effect.

Further, the component images ZD1 to ZD4 are images that do not include some of the plurality of components (members) constituting the second path K2. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-23, the component image ZD1 corresponding to the component D1 (special variable winning ball device 7), the component image ZD2 corresponding to the component D2 (variable winning ball device 6B), and the component D3 (passing gate 41). ) Corresponding to the component image ZD3, since the display of the electronic component image corresponding to the electronic component such as the solenoid, the switch, the wiring, and the connector of each component is omitted (not displayed), the component images ZD1 to It is possible to prevent the appearance of the ZD4 from being spoiled by component images corresponding to components such as solenoids, switches, wirings, and connectors. It should be noted that the display of parts other than electronic parts may be omitted.

Further, in the route assembly effect, the component image ZC4 corresponding to the component D4, which is more characteristic than the components D1 to D3, is displayed in a manner of assembling after the component images ZD1 to ZD3, which is suitable for the second path K2. The part image ZD4, which is the easiest to recognize that it is the second path K2, is displayed at the end, which makes it difficult to predict what will be assembled until the end. Is improved. The "characteristic part" is a part that is most easily recognized (specified) by the player as a passage part (passage member) that constitutes a part of the second path K2.

Specifically, the component D4 (passage member) is described in A.I. Being a member constituting the path through which the game ball flows down, B. The shape should be easy to recall that it is a route, C.I. It is larger than the other parts D1 to D3 (the area occupied by the entire second path K2 is large), and D.I. A part that is placed in a position that stands out to the player, E.I. It includes parts and the like that satisfy at least one condition (for example, here, conditions A, B, etc.) of being a device that the player aims to win a prize. Therefore, for example, if the player is urged to win a prize in the variable winning ball device 6B, the component image ZD2 is displayed as a characteristic component in a manner of being assembled after the component images ZD1, ZD3, and ZD4. You may do it.

Further, the pachinko game machine 1 including the game board 2 (game area Y) has a model-specific part peculiar to the pachinko game machine 1, and the game board image Z20 corresponding to such a game board 2 and the game board image Z20. When displaying the door frame image Z16 or the like corresponding to the gaming machine frame 3 including the glass door frame in the route assembly effect or the handle assembly effect, it is preferable to omit at least a part of the model-specific part.

The model-specific part is a game information display part that displays game information unique (unique) to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, the number of prize balls, jackpot probability, model name (title name), etc.), obstacle nails, windmills, etc. Including obstacles, movable bodies for directing, decorative parts, etc., these are provided so as to be visible to the player in the game area Y. Therefore, when these are displayed in the route assembly effect, they correspond to the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the model name (title name) is the same, but the gaming performance (specs) such as the number of prize balls and the jackpot probability are different. When executing a route assembly effect on a pachinko gaming machine or another pachinko gaming machine with a different model name (title name), information different from the actual one is provided to the player, which gives a sense of discomfort. The assembly effect cannot be used in common with multiple types of pachinko gaming machines.

However, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (E), when displaying the game information image Z21 corresponding to the game information display unit on which the number of prize balls, the jackpot probability, the model name (title name), etc. are displayed, the above By displaying the game information in a mode that is difficult (or impossible) for the player to identify (for example, do not display, blur, fill, etc.), the same route assembly effect can be executed between a plurality of types of models.

Further, in the route assembly effect, the component images ZD1 to ZD4 are assembled to the game board image Z20 by a procedure other than the above procedure, in addition to the effect pattern displayed in the manner of assembling the component images ZD1 to ZD4 to the game board image Z20 in the above order. The effect pattern to be displayed in the embodiment may be included.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs a route assembly effect for displaying the mode of assembling the component image ZD4 to the game board image Z20, displays the character image Z22 as shown in FIG. 8-23 (F), and then displays the character image Z22. As shown in FIGS. 8-24 (G) to (J), the route image corresponding to the second route K2 is displayed recognizable to the player, and the route image is displayed in a mode in which the game ball flows down. Start the flow production.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-24 (G), an image in which the game ball moves toward the right side is displayed on the upper part of the game area Y, and as shown in FIG. 8-24 (H), the game area Y is displayed. An image of the game ball moving downward is displayed on the right side of the screen, and as shown in FIG. 8-24 (I), an image of the game ball passing through the passing gate 41 and moving toward the variable winning ball device 6B. Is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 8-24 (J), an image in which the game ball wins the variable winning ball device 6B is displayed. As a result, it is possible to recognizablely notify the player that the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 and can win the variable winning ball device 6B by hitting right. When displaying the moving image of these game balls, the arrow image Z6 showing the flow path of the game balls is displayed in addition to the game balls.

The game board image Z20 shown in FIG. 8-24 (G) is a movable body image corresponding to the movable body 32 which is originally a model-specific part (for example, a region shown by a diagonal line in FIG. 8-24 (G)). ), But the movable body 32 is displayed in a mode that is difficult (or impossible) for the player to identify (for example, a blurred image or a deformed image of the movable body 32). Further, the display of the movable body image corresponding to the movable body 32 which is the model-specific portion may be omitted, or only the display of the characteristic portion may be omitted.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8-24 (K), after displaying the character image Z22, as shown in FIG. 8-24 (L), in the right-handed notification, the hitting ball operation handle 30 is rotated to the right. The image Z17, the right arrow image Z18 corresponding to the right arrow displaying the character information "Right-handed!", And the character image Z25 are displayed, and the voice "Right-handed" is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Output. The effect control CPU 120 displays the right arrow image Z5 that prompts right-handed striking during the execution of the route assembly effect and the right-handed striking notification.

As described above, in the launch operation promotion effect A and the launch operation promotion effect B, it is shown that the ball striking operation handle 30 is rotated to the right as shown in FIGS. 8-22 (F) and 8-24 (L). By displaying the handle image Z17 and the right arrow image Z18, not only the right-handed notification (right-handed operation promotion effect) is performed, but also the handle before the right-handed notification is performed, that is, before the start timing of the right-handed operation is reached. By performing the assembly effect and the route assembly effect, the player can pay attention to the hitting ball operation handle 30 for performing a right-handed operation and the second path K2 on which the game ball flows down by right-handed, so that the game is particularly enjoyable.

As shown in FIGS. 8-26 (A) to (E), for example, during a super reach effect before executing the controller assembly effect, a component to be displayed in a mode of collecting images of parts assembled in the controller assembly effect. The collective production may be feasible. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A), it is difficult to identify which part is the part image Z31 corresponding to each of the plurality of parts constituting the operation target to be assembled in the assembly effect. It is displayed in a mode (for example, it is displayed in a form having a character "?" In front of the silhouette of the part), and as shown in FIGS. 8-26 (B) (C), the parts are sequentially displayed with the passage of time. By displaying (fade-in display) in a mode that changes to a identifiable mode, the operation target to be assembled in the assembly effect is gradually clarified, so that the player's interest can be attracted.

The timing for changing the part image Z31 to an identifiable mode may be a predetermined timing, a timing linked to a chance-up effect in the super reach effect, or the timing for the player. Various timings may be used, such as the timing at which a specific mode of operation (for example, pressing and holding for a predetermined time, operating a button a predetermined number of times, etc.) is performed in a specific period during which the promotion effect for urging the operation is not executed. ..

Further, in the assembly suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (D), all the part images Z31 may be finally identifiable, or as shown in FIG. 8-26 (E). Finally, only a part of the component image Z31 may be identifiable and displayed. When all the part images Z31 are finally identifiable, the effect patterns A and B that complete the assembly are easily executed in the controller assembly effect, and finally only some part images Z31 are identifiable and displayed. If this is the case, it is sufficient to facilitate the execution of the effect patterns C and D in which the assembly is not completed in the controller assembly effect.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes a promotion effect that encourages the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B in another effect (for example, a look-ahead effect or a notice effect related to the hold storage display) during the execution period of the assembly suggestion effect.

The controller image Z1 and the push button image Z3 are displayed when the operation promotion effect for promoting the operation is executed, but the controller image Z1 and the push button image Z3 are displayed separately from the operation promotion effect for notifying whether or not the jackpot is a big hit. , A controller of a mode different from the controller image Z1 and the push button image Z3 shown in FIGS. 8-19 (A) and 8-19 (V) when the operation promotion effect for promoting the operation of either the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is executed. It is preferable to display an image Z63, a push button image (not shown), or the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8-32 (A), when the parts set effect is being executed in the super reach effect, when the player's movement is detected, the ally character wins the battle effect and becomes a big hit. When it is possible to execute a dialogue notice as a warning effect in which a dialogue suggesting a possibility is displayed, as shown in FIG. 8-32 (B), the stick controller 31A (or a push button) is given to the player during the operation valid period. It is possible to display the controller image Z63 (or push button image) that prompts the operation of 31B). When the operation of the stick controller 31A (or the push button 31B) is detected during the operation valid period, the character image Z61 and the dialogue image Z62 are displayed.

The controller image ZA1 has a display mode in which the effect image Z60 imitating a flame is not displayed around the stick controller 31A as in the controller image Z1 at the time of assembly production. As described above, the controller image ZA1 of the operation promotion effect executed in connection with the dialogue notice is different from the controller image Z1 of the operation promotion effect executed in connection with the parts set effect, so that the parts set is different. Since it is possible to execute other promotion effects during the production, and it becomes easy to understand that the advance notice production is different from the operation promotion production performed in connection with the parts set production, the player can perform the parts set production and others. It becomes easy to understand which of the productions of the above is related to the operation promotion production.

(Modification 7)
Next, a modification 7 of the feature unit 063SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-33. 8-33 are explanatory views showing an operation example of the component assembly effect as the modification 7 of the feature unit 063SG in FIGS. 8 to 33.

In the above-described embodiment, with respect to the effect patterns PT1-1 to PT2-3 of the component assembly effect, either one of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to the stick controller 31A or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 corresponding to the push button 31B is used. It was displayed in order, but if the variable display result is a big hit, the type of the image displayed in the middle may be switched (changed) from the part images ZC1 to ZC5 to the part images ZA1 to ZA5. ..

For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-33 (A) to (C), the component images ZC1 and ZC2 corresponding to the second push button 31B are displayed, but when the third and subsequent component images are displayed. , The component images ZA3 to ZA5 corresponding to the stick controller 31A may be displayed in the third and subsequent stages. That is, in this case, the effect patterns PT1-1 to PT1-3 corresponding to the push button 31B are changed to the effect patterns PT2-1 to PT2-3 corresponding to the stick controller 31A, and the promotion pattern has a high jackpot reliability. Has been done.

(Modification 8)
Next, a modification 8 of the feature unit 063SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-34. 8-34 are explanatory views showing an operation example of an operation promotion effect as a modification 8 of the feature unit 063SG in FIGS. 8 to 34.

In the above embodiment, in the operation promotion effect, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (A) or 8-19 (B), a controller image Z1 imitating the stick controller 31A or a push button image imitating the push button 31B. When the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B by the player is detected while the Z3 is displayed, if the variable display result is lost, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (E) (F). , The variable display result is notified to the effect of loss. For example, in the case of notifying the loss when the controller image Z1 of the stick controller 31A is displayed, when the operation of the player's stick controller 31A is detected, the figure is shown. As shown in 8-34 (B), the effect image of the disassembled (broken) mode of the stick controller 31A may be displayed.

By doing so, it becomes easy to understand that the variable display result is lost by the operation of the stick controller 31A. Further, in particular, when the controller image Z1 is displayed after the assembly is completed in the controller assembly effect, it is possible to notify the player that the assembly has failed, so that the interest of the game is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of an advantageous state advantageous for the player, a mode in which the jackpot gaming state is applied is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the expected value of the game medium that can be obtained is not limited to this. There are multiple types of specific game states with different numbers (big hits with different numbers of rounds, etc.), high base states (time saving states) where the conditions for paying out prize balls are more likely to be satisfied than in normal game states, and the probability of becoming the specific game state. Includes high high probability gaming state (high probability state), high probability low base state (latent probability change state), special reach state (for example, super reach, etc.), and the state in which the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern based on the jackpot fluctuation pattern. Is done.

Further, in the above embodiment, as a detection means capable of detecting the movement of the player, a stick controller 31A including a controller sensor unit 35A, a push button 31B including a push sensor 35B, a ball striking operation handle 30 including a handle sensor, and the like are applied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, other than the above, other operating means such as a jog dial, a cross key, a lever, and the player do not come into contact with the operating means. It also includes a video camera, a sensor, and the like that can be detected by digitally recording a predetermined movement of the player.

Further, in the above embodiment, the stick controller 31A including the controller sensor unit 35A as the detection means, the push button 31B including the push sensor 35B, and the ball striking operation handle 30 including the handle sensor can be detected (for example, pulling toward the front). Controller image Z1 imitating stick controller 31A, push button image imitating push button 31B in operation promotion effect and launch operation promotion effect as promotion effect to encourage the player to perform operation, push operation, rotation operation, etc. Z3, a handle image Z17 imitating a ball hitting operation handle 30, a right arrow image Z18, and the like are displayed, and character images such as "close!", "Push!", And "right hit!" Are displayed. The present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to the one that prompts the operation by displaying the effect image as described above, but also the light emitting means (LED or the like) provided on the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, the ball striking operation handle 30, and the like. ) Is emitted to encourage operation (operation), and voice messages and the like indicating operation modes such as "close!", "Push!", And "right-handed!" Are output from the sensors 8L and 8R, and an image display device. The operation (operation) may be prompted by a display device other than 5.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B, that is, the embodiment of promoting the operation of one of the two operation units (detection means) is exemplified in the operation promotion effect, but the present invention illustrates the mode. The present invention is not limited to this, and may facilitate the operation of both the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B. Further, it may be provided with three or more operation units (detection means) and promote the operation of at least one operation unit (detection means) among the three or more operation units (detection means).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a mode in which the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are applied as the detection means that may be the operation target of the operation promotion effect is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. However, the detection means that may be the operation target of the operation promotion effect is only two or more detection means having different movements (operations) of the player, such as the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B. Instead, two or more detection means (for example, two or more buttons) individually provided even if the operation mode of the player is the same, or a second operation different from the first operation acceptance mode and the first operation acceptance mode. A detection means that can be changed into an acceptance mode (for example, a button whose operation acceptance mode can be changed between a normal operation acceptance mode and a protruding acceptance mode that is more prominent than usual) may be an operation target.

That is, the effect control CPU 120 has a plurality of types of promotion effects including the first aspect and the second aspect in which the ratio (reliability) of becoming a big hit is higher than when the promotion effect of the first aspect is executed. In this case, it suffices if at least two of the three or more aspects of the promotion effect (for example, the promotion effect according to the normal operation acceptance mode and the promotion effect according to the protrusion acceptance mode) can be executed. ..

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of the specific effect executed before the promotion effect is executed, the operation promotion effect for urging the player to perform an operation that can be detected by the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is executed. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and the handle image Z17 showing that the ball striking operation handle 30 is rotated to the right and the right By displaying the arrow image Z18, it may be possible to execute a specific effect corresponding to a right-handed operation promotion effect or the like that gives a right-handed notification.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is displayed in the specific display area Z51 as a specific effect image related to the operation promotion effect displayed so that the display mode changes stepwise in the parts assembly effect, and is displayed in the operation promotion effect. Although the embodiment in which the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 constituting the controller image Z1 and the push button image Z3 are applied is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific effect image is used for the operation promotion effect. If it is a related effect image, it does not have to be a component image constituting at least a part of the effect image displayed in the operation promotion effect. For example, an operation promotion effect image displayed in the operation promotion effect (for example, a controller image). It may be an effect image having the same display mode as Z1 or the push button image Z3), an effect image having a similar display mode, or an effect image having a different display mode.

That is, the specific effect image displayed stepwise in the specific effect is an image (for example, a component) that constitutes at least a part of the operation promotion effect image (for example, the controller image Z1 and the push button image Z3) used for the operation promotion effect. (Image) and other related effect images related to the operation promotion effect image (for example, parts images ZA1 to ZA5, ZC1 to ZC5, etc.), but also a separate effect image not related to the operation promotion effect, that is, used for the operation promotion effect. It may be a special effect image (for example, a character image) that has nothing to do with the operation promotion effect image.

Further, since the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 as the specific effect images are component images constituting a part of the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B to be operated in the operation promotion effect, the stick controller 31A and the like. Although the push button 31B was considered to be an effect image that is easy to identify, even an image that constitutes a part of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is an image of an aspect in which it is difficult to identify that it is a component image (for example, a fragment). It may be an image such as). Further, the specific effect image may be a photographic image such as a stick controller 31A or a push button 31B, in addition to an image of a silhouette aspect, an icon image, or the like.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect as the specific effect, a mode in which a plurality of component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed stepwise (in order) in the specific display area Z51 and arranged side by side is illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, and corresponds to, for example, a push button image Z3 displayed in an operation promotion effect, a handle image Z17 displayed in a right-handed operation promotion effect, and a right arrow image Z18. When the specific effect can be executed, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to the controller image Z1 are displayed side by side in the specific display area Z51 in the component assembly effect as in the above embodiment, and then the displayed component image ZA1 is displayed. -Assembling the ZA5 Before the promotion effect is executed, the push button image Z3 and the handle image Z17 are assembled by assembling the partial images constituting a part of the push button image Z3 and the handle image Z17 so as to execute the controller assembly effect. It may be formed, or partial images constituting a part of the right arrow image Z18 may be collected to form the right arrow image Z18.

That is, in the specific effect, after the specific effect image is displayed step by step, the promotion effect of the first aspect (operation promotion effect in which the controller image Z1 is displayed) and the promotion effect of the second aspect (push button image Z3 are displayed). If it becomes possible to specify which of the operation promotion effect () to be executed (player can predict), the final is achieved by using a plurality of specific effect images displayed in stages as in the above embodiment. It is not necessary to display the operation promotion effect image in order, but it is sufficient to display a plurality of specific effect images in order, or the display mode of one specific effect image is changed stepwise so that the operation promotion effect image can be specified. (For example, the display mode of the controller image Z1 may be changed stepwise as in the component images ZA1 to ZA5).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect as the specific effect, the operation promotion effect in which the controller image Z1 is displayed and the push button image Z3 are displayed in the fourth stage of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5. Although an embodiment is exemplified in which which of the operation promotion effects to be performed is changed to a mode in which it can be specified, the present invention is not limited to this, and finally the promotion effect of the first aspect (controller image). If it becomes possible to specify which of the operation promotion effect in which Z1 is displayed and the promotion effect in the second aspect (operation promotion effect in which the push button image Z3 is displayed) is executed, the specific effect image (each) is necessarily specified. It is not necessary to display the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5) in a mode in which it is possible to specify whether the promotion effect of the first aspect or the promotion effect of the second aspect is executed. That is, after changing each component image ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 up to the third stage, it is possible to specify whether the promotion effect of the first aspect or the promotion effect of the second aspect is executed. For example, a character image such as "Controller GET!") Is displayed separately from the specific effect image, and a voice that can specify whether the promotion effect of the first aspect or the promotion effect of the second aspect is executed. (For example, "Controller GET!" Or the like) may be output.

Further, the fact that the display mode of the specific effect image changes stepwise in the specific effect means that the plurality of component images ZA1 to ZA5 related to the stick controller 31A change from the silhouette mode to the icon mode in the component set effect. Not only does the number of component images ZA1 to ZA5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 gradually increase, that is, the display mode of the specific display area Z51 changes due to the stepwise display of the specific effect image. For example, the display mode such as the color, outer shape, contrast, and brightness of the specific effect image may change with the passage of time, and the characters, symbols, numbers, etc. may be updated or additionally displayed, the level, and the like. Includes those that are displayed in an increase or decrease, those in which a specific effect image changes from a state in which it is difficult to see to a state in which it is easy to see.

In addition, displaying the specific effect image step by step in the specific effect means that the display mode of one or more component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 changes from the first stage to the fourth stage in the component set effect. By not only displaying but also displaying each component image ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 in order by a predetermined number, the number of component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 displayed in the specific display area Z51 increases or decreases. It also includes displaying so that a predetermined operation promotion effect image is constructed by using each part image ZA1 to ZA5, such as a controller assembly effect.

Further, the specific effect image may be, for example, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 as they are, or may be an image including the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and a background area around the component images ZA1 to ZA5. Further, what changes stepwise may be a part or the whole of the display mode of the specific effect image.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of the specific display mode of the specific effect image in the parts assembly effect (specific effect), a plurality of component images ZA1 to ZA5 or all of the component images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed in the specific display area Z51. Although the embodiment to which the display mode of collective success is applied has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific display mode can be arbitrarily changed as long as it is a predetermined display mode, for example, a specific display mode. Even if all of the plurality of component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 are not aggregated in the display area Z51, a predetermined specific effect image (for example, component image ZA5 or component image ZC5) may be displayed among the plurality of component images. ..

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 are displayed step by step in the specific display area Z51. The image is not limited, and two or more images out of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 may be displayed together, and all the component images ZA1 to ZA5 may be displayed together as in the assembly suggestion effect of the modification 2. , ZC1 to ZC5 may be displayed in the first stage display mode, and then the display mode of some or all part images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 may be changed stepwise.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect, one of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 or the component images ZC1 to ZC5 is displayed stepwise in the specific display area Z51, but the present invention is limited to this. The component images ZA1 to ZA5 and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 may be displayed in a mixed state. In this case, for example, the component image having a large number of images finally displayed may be displayed. The execution of the operation promotion effect by the corresponding operation unit may be suggested.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect, an embodiment in which the display mode of each component image changes in four stages (see FIG. 8-11) is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It may be changed in at least two steps, or may be changed in five or more steps.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect, the display mode of each component image changes from the first stage to the fourth stage, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of components are displayed. For any one or more of the component images, there may be an effect pattern in which the display is started from the second stage or higher.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect, the display mode of each component image is exemplified in a mode in which the display mode changes from the first stage to the fourth stage at a predetermined timing during the reach effect. Is not limited to this, and the display mode may be changed at the timing when the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B by the player is detected.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect, each component image is displayed as any of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 related to the controller image Z1 and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 related to the push button image Z3 in the first to third stages. Is displayed in a mode that is difficult to identify (difficult to specify), and in the fourth stage, which of the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 is displayed in a mode that can be identified (identifiable). Although the embodiment is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least in the first stage, the promotion effect of the first aspect (operation promotion effect in which the controller image Z1 is displayed) and the promotion effect of the second aspect (push) are illustrated. If it is displayed in a mode in which it is difficult to identify (difficult to specify) which of the button image Z3 is to be executed (operation promotion effect), it can be identified in the second stage or the third stage. It may be displayed in a (specified) manner. Further, the number of stages for displaying in a difficult-to-identify mode and for displaying in an identifiable manner may be at least 1 or more, and can be variously changed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the first stage and the second stage in the component assembly effect, an embodiment using a silhouette mode commonly used in the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 is exemplified. The invention is not limited to this, and the component images ZA1 to ZA5 in the first and second stages and the component images ZC1 to ZC5 in the first and second stages are displayed as images having different display modes. You may try to do it. For example, in the first stage or the second stage, any one of a plurality of silhouette images having different display modes may be displayed.

Further, the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 as specific effect images are the promotion effect of the first aspect (operation promotion effect in which the controller image Z1 is displayed) and the promotion effect of the second aspect (push button image Z3 is displayed). The mode in which it is difficult to identify which of the operation promotion effect to be performed) is, for example, a state in which the outer shape of the part image is deformed or the surface mode is not shown as in the silhouette mode. Partially omitted, whitened, blurred, deformed, etc., and the specific production image is specified by the player, such as a mode that is difficult for the player to see (for example, a mode that is difficult to see by increasing or decreasing the brightness). Includes an image or the like in which the effect image is displayed in a mode that is difficult to specify.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when it is determined to display the controller image Z1 imitating the stick controller 31A in the operation promotion effect, before displaying the controller image Z1 with the start of the operation valid period of the stick controller 31A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, even when it is determined to display the controller image Z1 imitating the stick controller 31A in the operation promotion effect. , It is not necessary to execute the controller assembly effect. Further, even when all the component images ZA1 to ZA5 corresponding to the controller image Z1 are displayed in the component assembly effect (when the assembly is successful), the operation valid period of the stick controller 31A is started without executing the controller assembly effect. The controller image Z1 may be displayed accordingly.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the controller image Z1 may be displayed in the operation promotion effect even when the effect based on the set failure effect patterns PT1-1 and PT2-1 is executed in the component assembly effect. Although the embodiment is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the effect based on the set failure effect patterns PT1-1 and PT2-1 is executed, the controller image Z1 is displayed in the operation promotion effect. It may not be done.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, even when the effect based on the effect pattern PT1-2, 1-3, PT2-2, 2-3 of the set success is executed in the parts assembly effect, the push button is used in the operation promotion effect.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the effect pattern type is determined in the parts assembly effect pattern determination process, the execution ratio is different depending on whether the operation target in the operation promotion effect is the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one of the effect patterns may be determined at different ratios depending on whether the variable display result is a big hit or a loss. However, in the operation promotion effect, one of the effect patterns may be determined at a different ratio depending on whether the controller assembly effect is executed or not.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the embodiment in which the parts set effect as the specific effect is executed during the battle effect period in the super reach is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation promotion notification is started. The execution period of the parts assembly effect is arbitrary, for example, other than the execution period of the battle effect of super reach (for example, the period after the variable display is started and before the development of super reach). May be good. Specifically, by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display, a pseudo-continuous effect that makes one variable display look like multiple variable displays in a pseudo manner. In the case of executing the operation promotion effect according to the above, the specific effect may be executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern. Alternatively, as the look-ahead notice effect, it may be an execution period of the variable display before the variable display in which the component set effect is executed. Further, the component set effect may be executed a plurality of times during the execution period of one variable display.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the parts set effect as the specific effect, the time (effect period) for displaying the component images in stages is the same, but the effect patterns PT1-1 to 3 and PT2-1 are the same. The production period may be different depending on the to 3.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the operation promotion effect and the specific effect (parts set effect) corresponding to the operation promotion effect are exemplified only when the variable display based on the super reach variation pattern is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and changes when it is possible to execute an operation promotion effect and a specific effect (part assembly effect) corresponding to the operation promotion effect in a plurality of variation patterns having different variable display times. The effect time may be different according to the variable display time of the pattern.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the component assembly effect, each component image ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 appear in order in the specific display area Z51 and are displayed, but the present invention is limited thereto. For example, as a look-ahead notice effect, it is possible to execute an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the usual one, and the display mode of the hold display or the active display can be changed. , The parts images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5, which are specific effect images, are changed to a identifiable display mode at the timing before the parts assembly effect is started, and the hold is performed at the timing when the parts assembly effect is started. It may be possible to execute an effect in which the component images ZA1 to ZA5 and ZC1 to ZC5 displayed as a display or an active display are moved to the specific display area Z51 and displayed. By doing so, it is possible to suggest to the player the possibility that the parts set effect is executed.
