The staging control board 25 transmits a signal for lighting the built-in lamp to the operation button 13 during the valid period of the operation button 13. Then, when the player presses the operation button 13 during the valid period, the detection signal is transmitted to the effect control board 25, and the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 changes.

The direction key unit 14 is composed of an up direction key, a right direction key, a down direction key, and a left direction key (see FIG. 1). When the direction key unit 14 is also operated, the detection signal is transmitted to the staging control board 25.

Further, the liquid crystal control board 26 is connected to the staging control board 25. The liquid crystal control board 26 receives a command from the staging control board 25 to control the display of the liquid crystal display device 36.

With the above configuration, the liquid crystal control board 26 performs image processing based on the liquid crystal control command transmitted from the effect control board 25, and displays the effect image and the moving image on the liquid crystal display device 36.

Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the jackpot type of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and various flags set at the end of the special game (big hit game) will be described.

For the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, among the decorative symbols of "1" to "9", a jackpot with a probabilistic symbol (for example, a decorative symbol of "3" and "7") and a non-probable variable symbol (for example, "3") , Decorative designs other than "7") There are two types of jackpots. Each symbol is variablely displayed in three columns (left column, center column, right column), and when the same symbols are aligned in the three columns (for example, "777"), a big hit is obtained. The three columns of symbols to be variablely displayed are stopped in the order of the left column, the right column, and the center column, the left and right columns are all stopped at the same symbol, and the state in which the symbols in the center column are variablely displayed is the reach.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a game is performed in a normal mode, a time saving mode, and a probability fluctuation mode. The normal mode is a lottery with a low probability (for example, "big hit" at 1/100). The time saving mode has the same lottery probability as the normal mode, but it is a gaming state in which the time for displaying the fluctuation of the symbol is shortened. , The game ball is easy to start and win. The probability fluctuation mode is a lottery with a higher probability (for example, "big hit" at 1/10) than the normal mode and the time saving mode, and is in a state with electric chew support.

The special game by the probabilistic symbol jackpot is composed of, for example, all 15 rounds, and the special game by the non-probability symbol jackpot is composed of all 15 rounds, but basically it is composed of less rounds. After the end of the probabilistic symbol jackpot, the game state becomes the probability fluctuation mode. The probability fluctuation mode ends when 50 games are played. The probability fluctuation mode may be a mode that continues until the next big hit.

Next, the non-probability symbol jackpot will be described focusing on the part different from the probabilistic symbol jackpot. The special game by the non-probability symbol jackpot consists of, for example, all 10 rounds. In addition, after the end, the game state becomes the reduced working hours mode. The time saving mode of this embodiment ends when 30 games are played.

Next, various flags set after the end of either the probabilistic symbol jackpot or the non-probabilistic symbol jackpot will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, "5AH" is set in the normal power release extension state flag, the normal figure time reduction transition state flag, the normal figure probability fluctuation transition state flag, and the special figure time reduction transition state flag. "5AH" means that the flag is on.

In the case of a probabilistic symbol jackpot, "5AH" is set in the special figure probability fluctuation transition state flag. On the other hand, in the case of a non-probability variation symbol jackpot, since the mode does not shift to the probability fluctuation mode after the end of the special game, "00H" is set in the special symbol probability fluctuation transition state flag. "00H" means that the flag is off.

Even in the case of a non-probability variation symbol jackpot, the electric chew support is available. Therefore, the above-mentioned normal figure probability fluctuation transition state flag is set to "5AH" regardless of the probable variation symbol or the non-probability variation symbol.

Further, in the case of a probabilistic symbol jackpot, "50" is set in the special figure time reduction counter and the special figure probability fluctuation counter, and in the case of a non-probability variation symbol jackpot, "30" is set in the special symbol time reduction counter. "0" is set in the special figure probability fluctuation counter. Here, "50" and "30" mean 50 times and 30 times of games, and "0" means that the games in the special figure probability fluctuation are 0 times, that is, not played.

The values of the special figure time reduction counter and the special figure probability fluctuation counter can be changed. For example, in the case of a probabilistic symbol jackpot, if "100" is set in the special figure time reduction counter and the special figure probability fluctuation counter, the mode shifts to the probability fluctuation mode of 100 times after the end of the special game.

Next, the game management process performed on the main control side will be described with reference to FIG. The game management process described below is a timer interrupt process executed for the main loop on the main control side when the power-on process ends normally.

First, the main control board 24 performs a timer management process (step S10). The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a plurality of timers such as a special symbol accessory operation timer, each of which measures the time related to the game.

The main control board 24 manages a large number of timers by updating (subtracting timers) various timers according to the processing state. After that, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the main control board 24 performs a prize ball management process. This is a process performed when a game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 wins a prize in the first and second special symbol start openings 37a and 37b and the general winning opening 42. For example, the general winning opening sensor 42a inside the general winning opening 42 detects a game ball and transmits a ball detection signal to the main control board 24.

Upon receiving the above signal, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls to the payout control board 29 (further, the game ball payout device 19). After receiving the control signal, the game ball payout device 19 pays out a predetermined number of prize balls to the upper storage plate 11 (or the lower storage plate 12 when the upper storage plate 11 is full). Then, the process proceeds to step S30.

In step S30, the main control board 24 normally performs a symbol management process. This is a process performed when the game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 passes through the normal symbol start gate 40a. Specifically, the start gate passage sensor 40b inside the normal symbol start gate 40a detects a game ball that has passed through the gate, and transmits a ball detection signal to the main control board 24.

When the main control board 24 receives the above signal, it acquires a random value of a normal symbol. Up to four random numbers can be stored in this lottery, and the winning / failing lottery of the above random values is performed in the order in which they are stored.

Further, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal to the normal symbol display device 43b. In the normal symbol display device 43b, the normal symbol is changed by blinking the LED, and after a predetermined time elapses, the normal symbol displays a hit or miss mode according to the lottery result and stops. Then, the process proceeds to step S40.

In step S40, the main control board 24 normally performs an electric accessory management process. This is a process of controlling the operation of an ordinary electric accessory based on the lottery result of an ordinary symbol. In the normal symbol management process (step S30), when the normal symbol stops in a hitting manner, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal to the solenoid for the normal electric accessory, and starts the second special symbol for a predetermined time. The opening / closing member of the mouth 37b is opened.

The main control board 24 closes the opening / closing member when the predetermined time elapses or when a predetermined upper limit number of game balls wins in the second special symbol start port 37b before the elapse of the predetermined time. The control signal of is transmitted to the solenoid for ordinary electric accessory. As a result, the opening / closing member is closed. Then, the process proceeds to step S50.

In the normal symbol management process (step S30), when the normal symbol is stopped in a detached manner, the opening / closing member is not opened, and the main control board 24 does nothing and performs a normal electric accessory game process. To finish.

In step S50, the main control board 24 performs a special symbol management process. This is a process performed when a game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 wins a prize in the first special symbol start port 37a or the second special symbol start port 37b.

Although the details will be described later, when the start winning opening sensors 37c and 37d detect the game ball, the starting winning opening sensors 37c and 37d transmit the ball detection signal to the main control board 24, and the main control board 24 transmits the ball detection signal. In response to this, for example, one random value is acquired from among 600 random values (lottery of a special symbol), and an effect mode for the acquired random value is determined.

The main control board 24 transmits an effect command to the special symbol display device 43a. In the special symbol display device 43a, the special symbol is changed by the 7-segment LED, and the special symbol is stopped in a hit or miss manner according to the lottery result after a lapse of a predetermined time. Further, the variation of the special symbol is displayed as a decorative symbol that can be reliably recognized by the player even on the liquid crystal display device 36. Then, the process proceeds to step S60.

Finally, in step S60, the main control board 24 performs a special electric accessory management process. This is a process of controlling the operation of the large winning device 39 (hereinafter, also referred to as a special electric accessory) based on the lottery result of the special symbol.

The details will be described later, but when the special symbol stops in the hit mode, it becomes a so-called big hit, and a predetermined number of special games are given to the player. In the special symbol management process (step S50), when the special symbol is stopped in a detached manner, the special electric accessory management process is immediately terminated. When the special electric accessory management process is completed, the game management process is also completed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the special symbol management process performed in the game management process will be described. In the special symbol management process (FIG. 10: step S50), the main control board 24 determines the special symbol operation status (during standby for change, during change), which will be described later, and manages each process.

First, the main control board 24 performs the start port check process 1 (step S51). This determines whether or not a game ball has won a prize in the first special symbol start opening 37a. When a game ball is won in the first special symbol start opening 37a, the CPU 241 on the main control board side has 200 random values based on the ball detection signal sent from the first start winning opening sensor 38d. Get one random value from the inside.

The effect information table is stored in the ROM 242. This effect information table has first to 600 effect modes associated with each of the 600 random values. The main control board side CPU 241 reads the effect mode corresponding to the acquired random number value from the effect information table. Further, the CPU 241 on the main control board side also performs a process of acquiring a jackpot determination flag based on a random number value and storing it in the work area.

When the game ball wins the first special symbol start port 37a during the variable display of the special symbol, the CPU 241 on the main control board side sends an effect command including a random number value (lottery result) and an effect mode to the hold storage area of the RAM 243. Remember. Further, the main control board side CPU 241 sends an effect command to the liquid crystal control CPU 261 of the liquid crystal control board 26 via the effect control board 25. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 stores this effect command in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 as hold information. The maximum number of reserved information stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 is, for example, four.

In step S52, the main control board 24 performs the start port check process 2. It is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the second special symbol start opening 37b, and the same process as in the start opening check process 1 is performed. After that, the process proceeds to step S53.

Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is 5AH (step S53). The condition device is a device that operates when a condition for continuing the big hit is satisfied when a big hit occurs, and determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is turned on. If the condition device operation flag is on, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S58.

On the other hand, if the condition device operation flag is not turned on, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S54. That is, steps S54 to S57 are processes in the case of the normal game mode in which the big hit does not occur.

When the determination in step S53 is "NO", the main control board 24 determines the special symbol operation status (step S54). When the special symbol operation status (hereinafter, also referred to as the special symbol operation status) is set to "00H" or "01H", the special symbol is "waiting for change", so the process proceeds to step S55.

Further, when the special symbol operation status is set to "02H", the special symbol is "changing", so the process proceeds to step S56. Further, when the special symbol operation status is set to "03H", the special symbol is "during confirmation time", so the process proceeds to step S57. Hereinafter, the processing in each special figure operation status will be described.

First, the special symbol change start process (step S55) performed in the special symbol management process will be described with reference to FIGS. 12A and 12B.

First, in FIG. 12A, the CPU 241 on the main control board side determines whether or not the number of reserved balls in the special figure is 0 (step S71). If the number of reserved balls in the special figure is 0, the determination is "YES" and the process proceeds to step S72. On the other hand, if the number of reserved balls in the special figure is not 0, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S76 (see FIG. 12B).

In step S72, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize in the first special symbol start opening 37a or the second special symbol start opening 37b. If the determination in step S72 is "YES", a random number value is acquired and the process proceeds to step S79.

When the determination in step S72 is "NO", the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure operation status is 00H (step S73). As will be described later, immediately after the special symbol confirmation time process (FIG. 11: step S57) is executed, "01H" is set as the special symbol operation status.

If the special symbol operation status is "00H", the determination is "YES" and the special symbol change start processing is terminated. On the other hand, if the special figure operation status is not "00H" (when it is "01H"), the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S74.

In step S74, the main control board 24 transmits a customer waiting demo command. The "customer waiting demo command" is transmitted from the main control board 24 to the staging control board 25 when the number of reserved balls of the special figure is 0 and the special figure operation status is "01H". Then, the process proceeds to step S75.

In step S75, the main control board 24 sets 00H to the special figure operation status. The special symbol change start process ends with this set, but thereafter, in the special symbol change start process, the process of "YES" in the determination of step S73 is repeated unless the hold information or the start opening winning is generated.

When the determination in step S71 is "NO", the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the number of reserved balls in the special figure (FIG. 12B: step S76). Then, the process proceeds to step S77.

In step S77, the main control board 24 transmits a hold subtraction command to the staging control board 25. As a result, the hold display of the special symbol display device 43a (7-segment LED on the right side) and the hold display displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 are subtracted by 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S78.

In step S78, the main control board 24 shifts the hold storage area. The reserved storage areas 1 to 4, which have the same number as the maximum reserved number, are shifted by 1 as the number of reserved balls is subtracted. At this time, 0 is set for the hold storage area 4 in which the latest hold information is stored. Then, the process proceeds to step S79.

In step S79, the main control board side CPU 241 performs a random number determination process for determining the operation of the special electric accessory. This is a hit determination process of the special figure based on the acquired random number value. In addition, the process of storing the jackpot determination flag in the work area is also performed.

In the present embodiment, since the jackpot probability is different between the normal mode and the time saving mode and the probability fluctuation mode, the random number value that becomes the “big hit” is different. In the normal mode and the time saving mode, among the 600 random numbers, the random numbers 595 to 600 are random values that are "big hits", the random numbers 595 to 597 are non-probable variable symbol big hits, and the random numbers 598 to 600 are. , It will be a big hit with a probabilistic symbol. The random number values 581 to 600 are random value values to reach.

In the probability fluctuation mode, the jackpot probability is 10 times that of the normal mode (1/10 is a jackpot) (1/10 is a jackpot), so the random numbers 541 to 600 are random values that are "big hits", and the random number value 541. ~ 570 is a non-probability variation symbol jackpot, and random numbers 571 to 600 are probability variation symbol jackpots. The number of random numbers, the random value that becomes a "big hit", and the like can be changed as appropriate.

In step S80, the main control board 24 performs a game state transition preparation process. Here, when the big hit determination flag is on, the game state transition table corresponding to the big hit type is selected, and the values are stored in various buffers with reference to this. Then, the process proceeds to step S81.

In step S81, the main control board 24 sets the changing flag of the special figure to 5AH. Then, the process proceeds to step S82.

In step S82, the main control board side CPU 241 reads the effect mode corresponding to the acquired random value value from the effect information table 246, sends the effect command including the random value and the effect mode to the special symbol display device 43a, and sends the effect command or the effect command. The effect execution command is sent to the effect control board 25. The main control board side CPU 241 sends an effect command when the hold information is not stored, and sends an effect execution command to the effect control board 25 when the hold information is stored. Then, the process proceeds to step S83.

Finally, the main control board 24 makes various settings at the start of fluctuation (step S83). Specifically, "00H" (erasure) is set in the random number storage area 0. Further, since the special symbol operation status is set to "02H" (during change), in the next special symbol management process, the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 11: step S54), which will be described later, will be performed during the special symbol change process (FIG. 11: step S54). FIG. 11: Branches to step S56). After that, the special symbol change start process is terminated. The process returns to FIG. 11 and then proceeds to step S58, which will be described later.

Next, the variable display processing of the special symbol will be described. The special symbol display device 43a performs variable display of the special symbol based on the effect mode of the effect command sent from the CPU 241 on the main control board side. In addition, the staging image also includes a decorative pattern to be displayed in a variable manner.

When the hold information is not stored, the effect control board side CPU 251 controls the sound effect of the speaker 7 and the operation of each LED and the like based on the effect command sent from the main control board side CPU 241 to perform the effect. When the hold information is stored and the effect execution command is received, the effect is performed based on the hold information (effect command) stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263. Further, the effect control board side CPU 251 sends an effect command to the liquid crystal control board 26 when the hold information is not stored, and sends an effect execution command to the liquid crystal control board 26 when the hold information is stored. send.

When the image display processor VDP264 of the liquid crystal control board 26 receives the effect command, the effect is based on the effect mode of the received effect command, and when the effect execution command is received, the effect of the hold information stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 is produced. Based on the embodiment, image processing of the image data of the effect to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 is performed. By displaying the image-processed image data on the liquid crystal display device 36, the liquid crystal control CPU 261 performs an effect in the effect mode determined by the main control board side CPU 241. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 erases the hold information at the same time as starting the effect of the hold information.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 13A to 13F, the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the thirty frame decorative LED 8b when the liquid crystal display device 36 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 executes the effect according to the variable display of the symbol. The control of -30 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 13A, on the display screen, a predetermined effect is performed according to the random number value acquired in the above process. Further, in the normal mode, when the random number value acquired when the game ball wins the first and second special symbol start ports 38a and 38b is a predetermined value, the decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner and then the reach mode is established. (For example, the symbol on the left and the symbol on the right stop at "5").

Here, the main character Ninja 71 (red) is displayed on the left side of the liquid crystal display device 36, and the enemy dragon 72 (green) is displayed on the right side of the liquid crystal display device 36. Then, a pressing effect is performed in which the two press against each other.

Further, on the liquid crystal display device 36, for example, a lightning bolt 73 (blue) is displayed between the ninja 71 and the dragon 72.

The color of the lightning bolt 73 may be changed according to the effect to be performed. For example, when the ninja 71 pushes the dragon 72 in the push-in effect, the lightning bolt 73 is displayed in red, and conversely, when the dragon 72 pushes the ninja 71, the lightning bolt 73 is displayed in green. The variable display of the decorative pattern is displayed on the upper left of the liquid crystal display device 36, for example, so as not to overlap the ninja 71, the dragon 72, and the lightning bolt 73.

After the push-in production is performed, the battle production (not shown) in which the ninja 71 and the dragon 72 fight is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 13F, when the main character Ninja 71 defeats the enemy dragon 72 in the battle production, it becomes a big hit. In this embodiment, it is set so that one of the pushers in the push-in effect is more likely to win in the battle effect, and the more the amount pushed in, the higher the possibility of winning in the battle effect. ..

Next, the light emitting modes of the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the 16th frame decorative LED 8b-16 and the 17th frame decorative LED 8b-17 to the 30th frame decorative LED 8b-30 in the pressing effect will be described.

[Initial state: 1st light emission pattern control]
As shown in FIG. 13A, in the initial state in which the liquid crystal display device 36 displays the ninja 71, the dragon 72, and the lightning bolt 73, the lightning bolt 73 is displayed at the center of the liquid crystal display device 36 in the left-right direction, and the ninja 71 and the dragon 72 are displayed. , Is displayed at a position almost equidistant from the lightning bolt 73.

In the initial state, the effect control board side CPU 251 causes the 1st frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the 16th frame decorative LED 8b-16 to emit light in the same red color as the ninja 71, and the 17th frame decorative LED 8b-17 to the 30th frame decorative LED 8b- The first light emission pattern control is performed to make 30 emit light in the same green color as the dragon 72.

That is, due to the first light emission pattern control, the frame decoration portion 8a of the frame decoration unit 8 is in a state where the left half is emitted in red and the right half is emitted in green.

The direction of movement of the left end of the light emitting range may be the same.

Further, the above-mentioned effect is not limited to the one-time variable display of the symbol, and may be performed, for example, during the demonstration.

Next, the special symbol changing process (FIG. 11: step S56) performed in the special symbol management process will be briefly described. When the special symbol operation status is determined to be "02H" (during change) in the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 11: step S54), the main control board 24 performs this process.

The main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer, which is a timer for the fluctuation time of the special figure, is 0, and when this timer becomes 0, transmits a "variation stop command". .. In addition, various settings are made when the fluctuation is stopped, but since the special symbol operation status is set to "03H" (during the confirmation time), the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 7: step S54) is performed in the next special symbol management process. At, the process branches to the special symbol confirmation time process (FIG. 7: step S57), which will be described later. After that, the processing during special symbol change is terminated.

Next, the special symbol confirmation time process (step S57) performed in the special symbol management process will be described with reference to FIGS. 14A and 14B.

First, in FIG. 14A, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S111). Here, it is determined whether or not the time for confirming the special figure has elapsed. When the special symbol accessory operation timer becomes 0, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer is not yet 0, the determination is "NO" and the processing is terminated during the special symbol confirmation time (see FIG. 14B).

If the determination in step S111 is "YES", the main control board 24 sets the special figure operation status to "01H" (step S112). Since the special symbol operation status is set to "01H" (waiting for change), in the next special symbol management process, the special symbol operation status determination is to branch to the special symbol change start process (FIG. 11: step S55). become. Then, the process proceeds to step S113.

Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is 5AH (step S113). This is a determination of whether or not the jackpot flag is on. If the jackpot flag is on, the determination is "YES" and the process proceeds to step S114. On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is not turned on, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S115.

When the determination in step S113 is "YES", the main control board 24 makes various settings when the jackpot symbol is stopped (step S114). For example, the jackpot determination flag is returned to "00H" and the condition device operation flag is set to "5AH". After that, the processing is completed during the special symbol confirmation time.

Further, when the determination in step S113 is "NO", the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure time reduction counter is 0 (step S115). The special figure time reduction counter is a counter that counts the number of times in the time reduction mode, and is set to 0, for example, in the normal mode.

If the special figure time reduction counter is 0, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 14B). On the other hand, if the special figure time reduction counter is not 0, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S116.

When the determination in step S115 is "NO", the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the special figure time reduction counter (step S116). The following steps S116 to S118 are processes related to the subtraction of the number of time reductions.

Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure time reduction counter is 0 (step S117). If the special figure time reduction counter is 0, the determination is "YES" and the process proceeds to step S118. On the other hand, if the special figure time reduction counter is not 0, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 14B).

If the determination in step S117 is "YES", the main control board 24 makes various settings at the end of the reduced working hours (step S118). For example, the normal time saving state flag and the special drawing time saving state flag are set to "00H" respectively. Then, the process proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 14B).

Next, in FIG. 14B, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure probability variation counter is 0 (step S119). The probability variation mode of the present embodiment is limited to the number of times, and the remaining number of times of the probability variation mode is counted by the special figure probability variation number counter.

If the special symbol probability variation counter is 0, the determination is "YES", and the processing during the special symbol confirmation time is terminated. On the other hand, if the special figure probability variation counter is not 0, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S120.

When the determination in step S119 is "NO", the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the special figure probability variation counter (step S120). The following steps S120 to S122 are processes related to the subtraction of the probability variation number.

Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure probability variation counter is 0 (step S121). If the special figure probability variation counter is 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S122. On the other hand, if the special symbol probability variation counter is not 0, the determination is "NO" and the processing during the special symbol confirmation time is terminated.

If the determination in step S121 is "YES", the main control board 24 makes various settings at the end of the probability change (step S122). For example, the normal figure probability change state flag and the special figure probability change state flag are set to "00H", respectively, and the processing is terminated during the special symbol confirmation time. After that, the processing is completed during the special symbol confirmation time. After the processing during the special symbol confirmation time is completed, the process proceeds to step S58 in FIG.

Finally, the main control board 24 updates the special symbol display data (step S58). Specifically, the special symbol of the special symbol display device 43a is updated. After that, the special symbol management process is terminated.

Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the special electric accessory management process performed in the game management process will be described. In the special electric bonus management process (FIG. 10: step S60), the main control board 24 has a special electric bonus operation status (big hit start process, special electric bonus operation start process, special electric bonus operation process), which will be described later. Special electric accessory operation continuation determination process, jackpot end process) is determined, and each process is managed.

First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is 5AH (ON) (step S61). When the condition device operation flag is 5AH, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S62. On the other hand, if the condition device operation flag is not on, the determination is "NO" and this process is terminated. That is, from step S62 onward, it is a process when a big hit occurs.

When the determination in step S61 is "YES", the main control board 24 determines the operation status of the special electric accessory (step S62). When the special electric accessory operation status (hereinafter, also referred to as the special electric accessory operation status) is set to "00H", it is the "big hit start" time, so the process proceeds to step S63.

If the special electric power operation status is set to "01H", it means that "special electric power operation is starting", so the process proceeds to step S64. Similarly, when the special electric power operation status is set to "02H", it means that "special electric power operation is in progress", so the process proceeds to step S65.

Further, when the special electric operation status is set to "03H", it means that "the special electric operation continuation is being determined". Therefore, the process proceeds to step S66, and when the special electric operation status is set to "04H", "big hit". Since it is "finishing", the process proceeds to step S67.

The details of the processes of steps S63 to S67 will be described below. Further, after these processes are completed, the main control board 24 ends the special electric accessory management process.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the jackpot start process (step S63) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

First, the main control board 24 makes various settings at the start of the big hit (step S131). Specifically, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is turned on, and "01H" is set in the continuous number counter. The continuous number counter is used to count the number of rounds in the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process described later (see FIG. 19), and "01H" means the first round.

Further, since the special electric accessory operation status is set to "01H" (special electric accessory operation is being started), the special electric accessory operation start process (FIG. 15: step S62) is performed in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62). 15: Proceed to step S64). After completing various settings at the start of the big hit, the process proceeds to step S132.

In step S132, the main control board 24 sets various data according to the jackpot type. Specifically, the maximum number of rounds and the round display LED number are stored in the RAM 23, and the jackpot start interval time is stored in the special symbol accessory timer. The jackpot start interval time is used in the special electric accessory operation start process described later (see FIG. 17). Then, the process proceeds to step S133.

Finally, the main control board 24 transmits a jackpot start interval command (step S133). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a "big hit start interval (fanfare) command" to the staging control board 25. After that, the jackpot start process is terminated.

Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the special electric accessory operation start process (step S64) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S141). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the jackpot start interval time has elapsed, or whether or not the inter-round interval time, which will be described later, has elapsed.

When the special symbol accessory operation timer becomes 0, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S142. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer is not yet 0, the determination is "NO" and the special electric accessory operation start process is terminated.

If the determination in step S141 is "YES", the main control board 24 transmits a big winning opening opening command (step S142). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a "large winning opening opening command" to the staging control board 25. Then, the process proceeds to step S143.

In step S143, the main control board 24 stores the special electric accessory operation time according to the jackpot type and the number of rounds in the special symbol accessory operation timer. For example, if the probability variation symbol jackpot is won this time, the special electric accessory operation time of each of the 10 rounds is set in the special symbol accessory operation timer. After that, the process proceeds to step S144.

In step S144, the main control board 24 makes various settings at the start of the opening operation. Specifically, the large winning opening winning number counter is set to "00H". "00H" means that the number of winnings is "0".

Further, since the operation status of the special electric accessory is set to "02H" (during the special electric operation), the processing during the operation of the special electric accessory (FIG. 15) is performed in the next determination of the operation status of the special electric accessory (FIG. 15: step S62). : Step S65). Then, the process proceeds to step S145.

Finally, the main control board 24 performs a large winning opening opening / closing operation setting process (step S145). In this big winning opening opening / closing operation setting process, the main control board 24 sets ON / OFF of the solenoid based on the big hit type, the number of rounds, the special symbol accessory operation timer, and the solenoid operation pattern. The solenoid referred to here is a solenoid that drives the opening / closing door of the attacker. After that, the large winning opening opening / closing operation setting process is completed. This ends the process of starting the operation of the special electric accessory.

Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the special electric accessory operating process (step S65) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not there has been a prize in the large prize opening (step S151). Winning is detected by the big winning opening sensor of the big winning opening. If there is a prize in the big prize opening, the judgment is "YES" and the process proceeds to step S152. On the other hand, if there is no prize, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S155.

If the determination in step S151 is "YES", the main control board 24 adds 1 to the number of winnings (step S152). That is, it is a process of counting the specified number of winnings that the large winning opening sensor wins in the large winning opening. Then, the process proceeds to step S153.

Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the maximum number of winnings has been reached (step S153). When the maximum number of winnings is reached, the determination is "YES" and the process proceeds to step S154. On the other hand, if the maximum number of winnings has not been reached yet, the determination is "NO" and the process proceeds to step S155. The maximum number of winnings may be different depending on the jackpot type.

If the determination in step S153 is "YES", the main control board 24 clears the special symbol accessory operation timer (step S154). By clearing the special symbol accessory operation timer, the process proceeds to the process when one round game is completed (step S156 / YES). After that, the process proceeds to step S155.

In step S155, the main control board 24 performs a large winning opening opening / closing operation setting process. Since the details of the large winning opening opening / closing operation setting process have been described in step S145 of FIG. 17, the description thereof will be omitted here. Then, the process proceeds to step S156.

Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S156). Here, it is determined whether or not the special electric accessory operating time has elapsed. When the special symbol accessory operation timer becomes 0, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S157. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer is not yet 0, the determination is "NO" and the processing during operation of the special electric accessory is terminated.

If the determination in step S156 is "YES", the main control board 24 transmits an interval command between rounds (step S157). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits an "inter-round interval command" to the staging control board 25. The "inter-round interval command" is, for example, a command for notifying the transition to the interval between the first round and the second round. Then, the process proceeds to step S158.

In step S158, the main control board 24 performs various settings 1 at the end of the opening operation. Specifically, the operation status of the special electric accessory is set to "03H" (during determination of continuation of special electric operation). As a result, in the next special electric accessory operation status determination process (FIG. 15: step S62), the process proceeds to the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process (FIG. 15: step S66). The main control board 24 performs various settings 2 at the end of the opening operation (step S159). Here, the special symbol accessory operation timer is set to 1980 ms. This corresponds to the remaining ball ejection time of a normal round. After that, the processing during operation of the special electric accessory is terminated.

Next, with reference to FIG. 19, the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process (step S66) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

First, the main control board 24 performs a large winning opening winning number check process (step S161). Since the details of the large winning opening winning number check process are the same as the processes described in steps S151 to S154 of FIG. 18, the description thereof will be omitted here. Then, the process proceeds to step S162.

In step S162, the main control board 24 performs a large winning opening opening / closing operation setting process. Since the details of the large winning opening opening / closing operation setting process are as described in step S145 of FIG. 17, the description thereof will be omitted here. Then, the process proceeds to step S163.

Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S163). Here, it is determined whether or not the remaining ball discharge time has elapsed. When the special symbol accessory operation timer becomes 0, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S164. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer is not yet 0, the determination is "NO" and the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process is terminated.

If the determination in step S163 is "YES", the main control board 24 determines whether or not the maximum number of rounds has been reached (step S164). In the present embodiment, when the maximum 10th round (probability variation symbol jackpot) or 5th round (non-probability variation symbol jackpot) is reached, a determination of "YES" is made, and the process proceeds to step S168. On the other hand, until the 9th round (probability variation symbol jackpot) or the 4th round (non-probability variation symbol jackpot), the determination is "NO", and the process proceeds to step S165.

When the determination in step S164 is "NO", the main control board 24 adds 1 to the continuous number counter (step S165). That is, it is a process of counting the number of rounds of the special game. Then, the process proceeds to step S166.

In step S166, the main control board 24 stores the interval time between rounds in the special symbol accessory operation timer. When the special electric accessory operation start process is returned, the interval time between rounds is used in the process (see FIG. 17). Then, the process proceeds to step S167.

In step S167, the main control board 24 makes various settings during continuation. Specifically, the special electric accessory operation flag is set to "00H". The special electric accessory operation flag is set to "00H" in any of "start", "between rounds" or "end" of the jackpot round, but here it is "between rounds".

Further, since the operation status of the special electric accessory is set to "01H" (during the start of the special electric operation), the special electric accessory operation start process (FIG. 15: step S62) is performed in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62). 15: Proceed to step S64). After that, the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process is terminated.

Next, when the determination in step S164 is "YES", the main control board 24 makes various settings at the end (step S168). Specifically, the special electric accessory operation flag is set to "00H". The reason why the special electric accessory operation flag is set to "00H" is that the jackpot round is "finished".

Further, since the special electric operation status is set to "04H" (during the end of the big hit), in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62), the process proceeds to the big hit end process (FIG. 15: step S67). become. Then, the process proceeds to step S169.

In step S169, the main control board 24 stores the end interval time in the special symbol accessory operation timer. The end interval time is used in the jackpot end process described later (see FIG. 20). Then, the process proceeds to step S170.

Finally, the main control board 24 transmits a jackpot end interval command (step S170). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a "big hit end interval (fanfare) command" to the staging control board 25. After that, the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process is terminated.

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the jackpot end process (step S67) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S171). Here, it is determined whether or not the end interval time has elapsed. When the special symbol accessory operation timer becomes 0, the determination is "YES", and the process proceeds to step S172. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer is not yet 0, the determination is "NO" and the jackpot end process is terminated.

When the determination in step S171 is "YES", the main control board 24 performs various settings 1 at the end of the big hit (step S172). Specifically, the condition device operation flag, the continuous count counter, the maximum continuous count buffer, etc. used in each step during the special electric accessory management process are all cleared. Then, the process proceeds to step S173.

In step S173, the main control board 24 performs various settings 2 at the end of the big hit. The details of the setting are as described with reference to FIG. After that, the process proceeds to step S174.

In step S174, the main control board 24 makes various settings 3 at the end of the big hit. Specifically, since the special electric operation status is set to "00H" (big hit start), in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62), the big hit start process (FIG. 15: step S63) is performed. You will be able to proceed. After that, the process proceeds to step S175.

Finally, the main control board 24 updates the game state notification information (step S175). For example, when the game shifts to the time saving game state after this, the time saving medium notification lamp is turned on. After that, the jackpot end process is terminated. The processing performed by the main control board 24 has been described above.

Hereinafter, the main process performed on the sub-control side will be described with reference to FIG. 21. This main process includes an initialization process performed when the staging control board 25 is started.

First, the staging control board 25 performs an initialization process (step S181). This mainly performs various initial settings of the staging control board 25, and is performed only once at startup. Then, the process proceeds to step S182.

Next, the staging control board 25 determines whether or not the main loop update cycle has been reached (step S182). The main loop is a process from steps S184 to S189 described later, and the update cycle is 16 ms.

When 16 ms of the update cycle elapses when the process proceeds to step S182, the determination of "YES" is made and the process proceeds to step S184. On the other hand, in the state before the elapse of 16 ms, since the update cycle has not been reached, the determination is "NO". In this case, the process proceeds to step S183.

When the determination in step S182 is "NO", the staging control board 25 performs various soft random number update processes (step S183). After that, the processes of steps S182 and S183 are repeated until the update cycle is reached. During this loop period, a timer interrupt process (see FIG. 22) with a 1 ms cycle is executed. The staging control board 25 counts the number of interrupt processes and determines whether or not the above 16 ms have elapsed. judge.

If the determination in step S182 is "YES", the staging control board 25 performs LED data update processing (step S184). As described above, steps S184 to S189 are the main loop processes, but here, the light emitting mode of the decorative LED is changed by updating the data of the frame decoration LED 8b and the board decoration LED 35. Then, the process proceeds to step S185.

In step S185, the staging control board 25 performs reception command analysis processing. This analyzes the type of received control command and makes various settings accordingly. For example, when the "big hit start interval command" transmitted in the big hit start process (see FIG. 16) is received, the staging control board 25 sets the start interval. Then, the process proceeds to step S186.

In step S186, the staging control board 25 performs the main scenario update process. Specifically, the effect is updated according to the received control command. Then, the process proceeds to step S187.

In step S187, the staging control board 25 performs sound output processing. Specifically, the sound is output from the speaker 7 according to the scenario. Then, the process proceeds to step S188.

In step S188, the staging control board 25 performs a solenoid update process. Specifically, the detailed operation of the solenoid used for the movable accessory is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S189.

Finally, the staging control board 25 performs noise countermeasure processing (step S189). Specifically, it is checked whether the peripheral LSI is affected by noise. When this process is completed, the process returns to step S182, and the subsequent processes are continuously executed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 22, the timer interrupt processing on the sub-control side will be described. This is an interrupt process executed at a cycle of 1 ms with respect to the above-mentioned sub-control side main process (see FIG. 21).

First, the staging control board 25 initially sets the CPU register (step S191). Specifically, the initial refresh value of the port is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S192.

In step S192, the staging control board 25 performs output processing. Specifically, the output processing of the solenoid and the motor used for the movable accessory is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S193.

In step S193, the staging control board 25 performs an operation button input state update process. The staging control board 25 updates the input state when the operation button 13 is operated. Then, the process proceeds to step S194.

In step S194, the staging control board 25 performs a switch input state update process. Specifically, the input information of the volume switch 31 or the like is confirmed, and processing is performed according to the information. Then, the process proceeds to step S195.

In step S195, the staging control board 25 performs a liquid crystal control command transmission process. The staging control board 25 transmits, for example, a staging command selected by the staging counter toward the liquid crystal control board 26. Then, the process proceeds to step S196.

In step S196, the staging control board 25 performs a motor update process. Specifically, detailed operation settings of the motor used for the movable accessory are set. Then, the process proceeds to step S197.

In step S197, the staging control board 25 performs LED data output processing. Specifically, LED data output is performed so that the frame decoration LED 8b and the board decoration LED 35 are turned on and blinked at a necessary timing. Then, the process proceeds to step S198.

Finally, the staging control board 25 increments the work for the main loop update cycle by 1 (step S198). This is a process of incrementing the work for the main loop update cycle by 1 in order to count 16 ms, which is the update cycle of the main loop process (FIG. 21: steps S184 to S189). After that, the timer interrupt process is terminated. The series of operations of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment has been described above.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 23A to 23F. In the second embodiment, the effect control board side CPU 251 indicates that the player needs to hit right at the start of the big hit, that the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the 30th frame decorative LED 8b-30 emit light, and the liquid crystal display. Notification is given by displaying an image on the display device 36.

As shown in FIG. 23A, in the variable display of the decorative symbol with the random value of the jackpot, the three decorative symbols stop at the same number (for example, 555), and the jackpot start process (FIG. 16: step S63) is performed. Will be.

Specifically, after the three decorative symbols stop at the same number, a "big hit start interval (fanfare) command" is transmitted from the main control board 24 to the effect control board 25, and the effect control board side CPU 251 receives the effect control board side CPU 251. The fanfare sound is output from the speaker 7.

[6th light emission pattern control]
The CPU 251 on the staging control board side simultaneously or before and after the output of the fanfare sound, the first frame decoration LED 8b-1, the second frame decoration LED 8b-2, the third frame decoration LED 8b-3 ... The sixth light emission pattern control is performed so that the LED 8b-28, the 29th frame decorative LED 8b-29, and the 30th frame decorative LED 8b-30 emit light in a predetermined color (for example, red) in this order. The CPU 251 on the effect control board side performs one sixth light emission pattern control for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second), and repeats the sixth light emission pattern control a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times).

When the 1st frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the 30th frame decorative LED 8b-30 are sequentially emitted in red, the next LED may be turned off when the next LED is emitted in red. For example, when the third frame decorative LED 8b-3 emits red light, the second frame decorative LED 8b-2 is turned off.

For example, after performing the sixth light emission pattern control twice, the effect control board side CPU 251 attaches the liquid crystal display device 36 to the liquid crystal display device 36 at the same time as or before and after the start of the third light emission pattern control, as shown in FIG. 23B. The comment image 101 "Please hit right" and the right arrow image 102 indicating the right direction are displayed for 1 second.

[Right arrow image display control]
Next, as shown in FIG. 23C, the effect control board side CPU 251 performs right arrow image display control so that the right arrow image 102 gradually extends to the right end portion of the liquid crystal display device 36 in a predetermined time. When the right arrow image display control is performed, the sixth light emission pattern control is performed. That is, the sixth light emission pattern control and the right arrow image display control are partially performed at the same time.

Further, by setting the change in light emission in the right direction due to the control of the sixth light emission pattern and the moving speed of the right arrow image 102 to be the same, it is possible to reliably notify the player of the right-handed operation. The change in light emission due to the control of the sixth light emission pattern may be faster or slower than the moving speed of the right arrow image 102.

For example, after the movement of the right arrow image 102 starts, the light emission change by the sixth light emission pattern control starts, but the speed of the light emission change is faster, and as an effect of being overtaken before the movement of the right arrow image 102 is completed. May be good.

The sixth light emission pattern control and the right arrow image display control move from different objects (light emission position, right arrow image display range), but both move from left to right. Further, since the sixth light emission pattern control is performed first, it is possible to notify the player that the player is hitting right with the light. Right-handed notification by light may be difficult for beginners to understand, but since the right arrow image display control is performed after the sixth light emission pattern control, it is necessary to reliably notify the player of right-handed hitting by image display. Can be done.

Further, in the present embodiment, after the big hit is completed, the game shifts to the probability fluctuation mode (50 times) or the time saving mode (30 times). Then, in the game of the probability fluctuation mode and the time saving mode, the player needs to continuously perform the right-handed operation.

After that, as shown in FIG. 23D, for example, the game in the probability fluctuation mode (“○○ time”) ends. In addition, "50/50" in the screen means that the 50th time of a total of 50 games was played, and "418" indicates three symbols.

When the game in the probability fluctuation mode ends, the game returns to the game in the normal game mode. Here, since the right-handed operation is not performed in the normal game mode game, it is necessary to return to the left-handed operation.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23E, the effect control board side CPU 251 has a 30th frame decorative LED 8b-30, a 29th frame decorative LED 8b-29, a 28th frame decorative LED 8b-28 ..., a third frame decorative LED 8b-3, The light emission pattern is controlled so that the second frame decorative LED 8b-2 and the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 emit light in a predetermined color in this order. The CPU 251 on the effect control board side performs one light emission pattern control for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second), and repeats this light emission pattern control a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times).

For example, after performing the light emission pattern control twice, the effect control board side CPU 251 "left-handed" on the liquid crystal display device 36 at the same time as or before and after the start of the third light emission pattern control, as shown in FIG. 23E. The comment image 104 saying "Please return to" and the left arrow image 103 indicating the left direction are displayed for 1 second.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 23F, the effect control board side CPU 251 performs left arrow image display control so that the left arrow image 103 gradually extends to the left end portion of the liquid crystal display device 36 in a predetermined time. The light emission pattern control and the left arrow image display control at the time of left-handed striking are performed at the same time.

The light emission pattern control when hitting left and the right arrow image display control are different from each other (light emission position, left arrow image display range), but they both move from right to left, and the light emission pattern control is performed first. Therefore, it is possible to notify the player that the player is to hit left with light. As a result, it is possible to reliably notify the player about returning to the left-handed strike.

Further, in the second embodiment, in addition to or changing the sixth light emission pattern control and the right arrow image display control, as shown in FIGS. 24A to 24E, the effect control board side CPU 251 has three decorative symbols. After stopping at the same number (for example, 555), the operation instruction of the operation button 13 is given by the light emission of the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the thirty frame decorative LED 8b-30 and the image display on the liquid crystal display device 36. You may do it.

As shown in FIG. 24A, in the variable display of the decorative symbol with the random value of the jackpot, the three decorative symbols stop at the same number (for example, 555). After that, when three non-probable variation symbols (decorative symbols other than "3" and "7") are prepared, the jackpot of the non-probability variation symbol is started before the jackpot start processing (FIG. 16: step S63) is performed. The promotion effect of whether or not to be promoted to the jackpot of the probabilistic symbol (decorative symbol of "3", "7") is performed.

[7th emission pattern control]
In the promotion effect, first, as shown in FIG. 24A, after the three decorative symbols stop at the same number, the effect control board side CPU 251 uses the 16th frame decorative LED 8b-16, the 15th frame decorative LED 8b-15, and the first. 14-frame decorative LED 8b-14 ... The third frame decorative LED 8b-3, the second frame decorative LED 8b-2, and the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 are made to emit light in a predetermined color (for example, red) in this order, and the first 17-frame decorative LED 8b-17, 18-frame decorative LED 8b-18, 19-frame decorative LED 8b-19 ... 28-frame decorative LED 8b-28, 29-frame decorative LED 8b-29, 30-frame decorative LED 8b-30 in that order. The seventh light emission pattern is controlled so as to emit light in a predetermined color.

The CPU 251 on the effect control board side performs one seventh light emission pattern control for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second), and repeats the seventh light emission pattern control a predetermined number of times (for example, five times).

When the 1st frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the 30th frame decorative LED 8b-30 are sequentially emitted in red, the next LED may be turned off when the next LED is emitted in red. For example, when the third frame decorative LED 8b-3 emits red light, the fourth frame decorative LED 8b-4 is turned off.

For example, after performing the seventh light emission pattern control twice, the effect control board side CPU 251 attaches the liquid crystal display device 36 to the liquid crystal display device 36 at the same time as or before and after the start of the third light emission pattern control, as shown in FIG. 24B. The comment image 111 "button", the button image 112 imitating the operation button 13, and the down arrow image 113 indicating the downward direction are displayed for 1 second.

[Down arrow image display control]
Next, as shown in FIG. 24C, the effect control board side CPU 251 includes a comment image 114 saying "press a button!", A button image 112, and a down arrow image 113 moved downward from the state of FIG. 24B. Down arrow to display for 2 seconds Image display control is performed. Down arrow When image display control is performed, the seventh light emission pattern control is performed. That is, the seventh light emission pattern control and the down arrow image display control are performed at the same time.

When the player presses the operation button 13 according to the down arrow image display and obtains a random value that is a big hit with the probabilistic symbol, the jackpot of the non-probable symbol (“555”) is changed to the big hit of the probabilistic symbol (“777”). ”),“ 777 ”is displayed large on the liquid crystal display device 36 (not shown), and the variable display of the symbol ends.

On the other hand, when the random value of the jackpot of the non-probability variation symbol is acquired, the jackpot "555" of the non-probability variation symbol is displayed in large size on the liquid crystal display device 36, and the variation display of the symbol ends.

The 7th light emission pattern control and the down arrow image display control have different moving targets (light emission position, down arrow image), but both move from top to bottom, and the 7th light emission pattern control is performed first. Therefore, it is possible to notify the player that the operation button 13 is pressed downward by the light. Although it may be difficult for beginners to understand the button downward operation notification by light, since the down arrow image display control is performed after the seventh light emission pattern control, the operation button 13 is pressed downward by the image display. Can be reliably notified to the player.

From the state where the three decorative symbols are stopped (see FIG. 24A), the decoration part (1st to 4th center decoration parts 51a to 54a) of the "Ninja Legend" above the liquid crystal display device 36 suddenly falls and is promoted. There may be a production.

In this effect, as shown in FIG. 24D, the decorative part of the "Ninja Legend" moves to the front side of the decorative pattern (555), and the effect control board side CPU 251 is the 16th frame decorative LED 8b-16, the 15th frame. Decorative LED 8b-15, 14th frame decorative LED 8b-14 ... 3rd frame decorative LED 8b-3, 2nd frame decorative LED 8b-2, 1st frame decorative LED 8b-1 in a predetermined color (for example, red). 17th frame decorative LED 8b-17, 18th frame decorative LED 8b-18, 19th frame decorative LED 8b-19 ... 28th frame decorative LED 8b-28, 29th frame decorative LED 8b-29, 30th frame The decorative LEDs 8b-30 are made to emit light in a predetermined color in this order.

After that, as shown in FIG. 24E, when the decorative portion of the "Ninja Legend" rises, the change of the decorative symbol to "777" is greatly displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36, and the big hit with the probabilistic symbol is confirmed.

At this time, light emission is performed in the direction opposite to that in FIG. 24D. That is, the effect control board side CPU 251 has a first frame decorative LED 8b-1, a second frame decorative LED 8b-2, a third frame decorative LED 8b-3 ..., a 14th frame decorative LED 8b-14, and a 15th frame decorative LED 8b-15. , The 16th frame decorative LED 8b-16 emits light in a predetermined color (for example, red), and the 30th frame decorative LED 8b-30, the 29th frame decorative LED 8b-29, the 28th frame decorative LED 8b-28 ... The 17th frame decorative LED 8b-17, the 18th frame decorative LED 8b-18, and the 17th frame decorative LED 8b-17 are made to emit light in a predetermined color in this order.

The promotion effect of dropping the decorative part of "Ninja Legend" may be performed when the player presses the operation button 13 in the state of FIG. 24C. Of course, there are cases where the player presses the operation button 13 but the decorative portion does not fall and is not promoted to a probabilistic symbol.

The arrow movement timing at which the right arrow image 102, the left arrow image 103 or the down arrow image 113 moves and the LED light emission timing are simultaneous, the arrow movement timing is before the light emission timing, or the arrow movement timing is after the light emission timing. But it may be.

Further, a moving accessory that can be moved in the left-right direction is provided, and the moving accessory is moved in addition to or by changing the movement of the right arrow image 102 or the left arrow image 103, and the moving direction of the moving accessory and the LED. The direction of red emission may be the same as that of the red emission direction.

Further, in the second embodiment, the player's operation method is suggested by the red light emitting direction of the LED and the moving direction of the right arrow image 102 or the left arrow image 103, but the suggestion is not limited to the operation method. For example, during the demonstration, the red light emission of the LED is controlled to move in a predetermined direction, and a moving image in which, for example, the ninja 71 moves in the same direction as the predetermined direction is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. In the third embodiment, the CPU 251 on the staging control board side has the first rainbow emission pattern in the first rainbow emission pattern in the variation display of the symbol with the random value of the jackpot, and the first frame decoration LED 8b-1 to the thirty frame decoration LED 8b-. 30 is made to emit light, and immediately before or immediately after the three decorative symbols stop at the same number (for example, 555), the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the 30th frame decorative LED 8b- 30 is made to emit light.

[1st rainbow emission pattern]
As shown in FIG. 25, the effect control board side CPU 251 sets the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 to the thirty frame decorative LED 8b-30 in red, orange, yellow, and green, respectively, in the control by the first rainbow light emission pattern. Repeatedly emit light in the order of blue, indigo, and purple rainbow emission (returns to red after purple).

Specifically, the effect control board side CPU 251 repeatedly emits the first frame decorative LED 8b-1 in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple from the start in the control by the first rainbow emission pattern. The second frame decorative LED 8b-2 is repeatedly emitted in the order of orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, and red from the start, and the third frame decorative LED 8b-3 is emitted from the start in yellow, green, blue, and so on. It emits light repeatedly in the order of indigo, purple, red, and orange.
