[5 Memory part of main control board (special symbol lottery)]
The main control board 310, as shown in FIG. 6A, information corresponding to the random number for special figure 1 determination (random number itself, random number Flag information and code information corresponding to) up to 4 pieces, information corresponding to the random number for special figure 2 judgment acquired with the detection signal input of special figure 2 switch SW2 (random value itself, random value corresponding to Flag information, code information, etc.), in order to hold and store a maximum of 4 pieces, respectively, in a predetermined storage area in the reserved storage unit 310i of the main control RAM, special figure 1 reserved storage unit 311, and special figure 2 A reservation storage unit 312 is provided. In these special figure 1 reservation storage unit 311 and special figure 2 reservation storage unit 312, the start reservation information is stored according to the random number acquisition order.

The random number for special figure 1 judgment and the random number for special figure 2 judgment are respectively "random number for jackpot judgment (random number 1)", "random number for special figure distribution judgment (random number 2)", "random number for judgment execution judgment (random number 3)”, and “variation pattern distribution determination random number (random number 4)”. The random number for judging a big hit (random number 1) is a random number for determining whether it is a big hit or not. Special figure distribution determination random number (random number 2) is a random number for distributing the jackpot type, such as the number of rounds of a special game. The effect execution determination random number (random number 3) is a random number for determining whether or not to perform the ready-to-win effect. The ready-to-win effect is configured to be executed at a predetermined rate not only in the case of "hit" but also in the case of "lose". The random number for determining variation pattern distribution (random number 4) is a random number for distributing variation patterns.

A “jackpot determination value” to be compared with the random number 1 is stored in the ROM of the main control board 310 . In this embodiment, the big hit determination value is set to have different probabilities between the non-variable probability (low probability) state and the variable probability (high probability) state. This jackpot probability is common to special figure 1 and special figure 2.

If the random number 1 results in a “jackpot”, the number of rounds to open the big winning opening during the special game will be “2 rounds (2R)”, “7 rounds (7R)”, “15 rounds ( 15R)”, etc.

In addition, in the distribution based on the random number 2, even if the number of rounds of the "jackpot" is 15, (1) the "long-time open operation" of opening the big prize opening 15 for 30 seconds is set 15 times as one round. Aspect of the special game to be executed, (2) Rounds in the middle (for example, 7 rounds) are configured with rounds of "long-time open operation", and the remaining rounds are for a short time (for example, several seconds or 1 second) (3) A special game mode in which all 15 rounds are configured by the above-mentioned "short-time opening action". can also be

Alternatively, "ST type" that gives a specified number of probability variations, or switches from "high probability" to "low probability (normal probability)" when winning the fall condition while giving probability variation to all winning patterns. It can also be a "falling lottery type". In this kind of special game, furthermore, the number of times of supporting the normal electric role in the "time saving game" after the special game is set to 20 times, 40 times, 60 times, 80 times, and 100 times, and among these It can also be configured to perform "jackpot type determination" for sorting to any one of.

The types of jackpots that can be distributed by such a random number 2 (including the number of times of time reduction) can be set differently between special figures 1 and 2, and furthermore, which type of jackpot is assigned. It is also possible to make the "distribution probability of type" different between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2.

In this embodiment, for the random number 1, if the special figure 2 is a "jackpot", it is more likely than the special figure 1 to be a "jackpot". The distribution probability is set for the random number 2 so that the opening mode of the . Note that the random number 2 is substantially meaningless if the random number 1 is "lost".

Random number 3, when the random number 1 is "missing", is used to determine the presence or absence of "missing reach" in the special figure start process described later. If the random number 1 is a "jackpot", the ready-to-win effect is to be executed, so the random number 3 is substantially meaningless.

The "fluctuation pattern" distributed by the random number 4 determines the "length of fluctuation time". In this embodiment, as a variation pattern table for determining this variation pattern, as shown in FIG. The variation pattern table 313b is stored in advance in a predetermined storage area in the variation pattern storage section 310g of the main control ROM. In FIG. 6(A), it is described as if the random numbers 1 to 4 are stored respectively, but the flag information and code information indicating the result of the special symbol lottery determined by the random numbers 1 to 4 are stored. It does not matter if it is done.

[6 Storage unit of production control board (production data)]
In the effect control board 320, effect data for sound effect, display effect, light emission effect, and movable body effect are stored in advance in a predetermined area of the effect data storage section 320g of the effect control ROM. As shown in FIG. 7A, the effect data storage unit 320g stores, as effect data, variable game effect data DH to be executed during the special symbol variation game, and jackpot mid-jackpot effect data DV to be executed during the jackpot game. , and during-demonstration effect data DM to be executed during the demonstration are stored. In addition, decoration symbol variation performance data DKZ for displaying a decoration symbol variation game corresponding to the variation pattern executed in the special figure variation game is also stored.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the variable game effect data DHn includes background display data (DHn1), character display data (DHn2), light emission effect data (DHn3), sound effect data (DHn4), It is a combination of movable object rendering data (DHn5) and operating member rendering data (DHn6). Among DHn1 to DHn6 in the variable game effect data DHn, for example, DHn6 becomes blank data when no operating member effect is performed.

As shown in FIG. 7(C), the operating member effect data (DHn6) includes operation guidance effect data DHn6a in the liquid crystal display device LCD, light emission effect data DHn6b1 in the push button PB, appearance effect data DHn6b2, and vibration effect data DHn6a. data DHn6b3, light emission effect data DHn6c1 in the control lever LV, appearance effect data DHn6c2, and vibration effect data DHn6c3. In the data for operation member effects (DHn6), for example, data for executing only the operation guidance effect and the light emission effect of the push button PB becomes blank data except for DHn6a and DHn6b1, and the operation members using the operation guidance effect and the operation lever LV. All of DHn6b1-b3 are blank data in the case of data for executing only effects. The operation guidance effect data DHn6a is data for executing button display, message display, big button display, etc. on the liquid crystal display device LCD, and these data are treated in the same way as the character display data DHn2.

The effect data DV during the jackpot includes DV1, DV2, . Similarly, the demonstration effect data DM has a plurality of patterns such as for demonstration 1 (DM1), for demonstration 2 (DM2), and so on.

The decorative pattern variation performance data DKZ is data corresponding to the variation pattern instructed based on the result of the lottery by the main control board 310, such as normal loss, normal win, reach loss, reach hit, super reach loss, super reach hit. remembered. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the normal state decorative design fluctuation performance data DKZa, which is the decorative design fluctuation time corresponding to the normal state fluctuation pattern table 313a of the main control board 310, and the time saving state fluctuation of the main control board 310 Decoration symbol variation performance data DKZb for the time saving state, which becomes the decoration symbol variation time corresponding to the pattern table 313b, is stored in the performance data storage section 320g of the performance control board 320. - 特許庁

The display control board 370 superimposes the decorative pattern variation performance data DKZ corresponding to the variation pattern on the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display device LCD in accordance with the background display data DHn1 commanded from the performance control board 320. indicate. In addition, in this display effect, if the character display data DHn2 exists, the effect of superimposing and displaying the character image is also executed.

Here, in the present embodiment, the variable in-game effect data DH does not have a one-to-one correspondence with the variation pattern. And it is configured to be determined by the production control board side by sorting from among a plurality. Similarly, the decorative design variation performance data DKZ is also, for example, a one-to-one correspondence with the variation time 1 for the variation pattern 1. 1b, . These allocable performance data DH and decorative pattern variation patterns form reliability groups, such as a group that is easily sorted when the variation pattern is a big hit, and a group that is difficult to be sorted when the variation pattern is a big hit, and a group vice versa. is set to the distribution probability.

[7 Special figure start processing in the main control board]
The main control board 310, by the control system shown in FIG. 8(A), reads out the start suspension information stored in the RAM, and causes the special symbol display device TKZ to execute the special symbol variation according to "hit/miss". , display effects (background, characters, etc.), sound effects, light emission effects, movable body effects, and operation member effects are executed via the effect control board 320 .

The main control board 310 executes a special figure start process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8(B) every predetermined period (4 ms in the embodiment). In this process, first, it is determined whether or not a game effect (symbol variation or special game) is being executed (S210), and when the game effect is being executed (S210: YES), this process is terminated do. On the other hand, when the game effect is not being executed (S210: NO), it is determined whether start suspension information is stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM (S220). If the start suspension information is not stored (S220: NO), it is determined whether or not the demonstration effect is being executed (S230). If not in execution (S230: NO), the instruction to start the demonstration effect is issued to the effect control board 320 (S240).

If there is storage of start suspension information (S220: YES), it is determined whether or not the earliest start suspension information in the order of storage is special figure 1 start suspension information (S250). If it is the special figure 1 start suspension information (S250: YES), the special figure 1 storage number N1 is decremented (S260), and the earliest start suspension information in the storage order (random number 1 to random number 4) is read (S270) . Thereby, the storage order of the start suspension information in the storage area in the RAM is updated, and the suspension display performed via the special figure indicator TKZ and the liquid crystal display device LCD is also updated.

It is determined whether or not the random number 1 in the special figure 1 start suspension information thus read matches the big hit determination value stored in the ROM of the main control board 310 (S310). For this jackpot determination value, a jackpot probability at the time of non-variable probability (low probability) and a jackpot probability at the time of variable probability (high probability) are set in advance.

When the judgment result of the big hit judgment is affirmative (S310: YES), "1" is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit has changed (S320). Then, the main control board 310 determines the "jackpot symbol" to be fixed and displayed on the special symbol indicator TKZ based on the value of the random number 2 (S330). Here, the value of the random number 2 is associated with the jackpot design corresponding to the distribution rate of the hit type for the special figure 1 start suspension information. Therefore, in the process of S330, the main control board 310 determines the jackpot symbol associated with the read random number 2 value. When the jackpot pattern (special pattern) is determined, one fluctuation pattern (fluctuation time) is determined from a plurality of "variation patterns (fluctuation time) for jackpot performance" based on the value of the random number 4 (S340). ).

On the other hand, if the judgment result of the big hit judgment of S310 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control board 310 executes the reach effect based on the random number 3 in the special figure 1 start reservation information read out at S270. It is determined whether or not to allow (S350). In this embodiment, the main control board 310 determines whether or not the value of the random number 3 matches the ready-to-win effect execution determination value stored in the ROM at S315. If the determination result of S350 is affirmative (if the reach effect is performed), the main control board 310 determines the "missing pattern" to be displayed on the special figure indicator TKZ (S335), and the random number 4 Based on the value, one variation pattern (variation time) is determined from among a plurality of "variation patterns (variation time) for losing reach effect" (S345).

Also, if the determination result of the reach determination in S350 is negative (if the reach effect is not performed), the main control board 310 determines the "missing pattern" to be displayed on the special figure indicator TKZ ( S338). Next, the main control board 310 determines one variation pattern (variation time) from among a plurality of "variation patterns (variation time) for the losing performance" based on the value of the random number 4 (S348).

The main control board 310, which thus determines the variation pattern (variation time) and the final stop pattern, outputs a predetermined signal at a predetermined timing to the effect control board 320 (S360). Specifically, the main control board 310 outputs a variation pattern specifying command for instructing the start of variation pattern and decoration pattern variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control board 310 controls the special figure indicator TKZ to start the special figure fluctuation display. In addition, the main control board 310 outputs a special symbol designation command for designating a special symbol to be the final stop symbol. Thus, the main control board 310 ends the special figure start process. After that, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control board 310 performs the symbol variation corresponding to the variation time defined in the specified variation pattern, and then displays the determined final stop symbol. Control the display contents of the special figure indicator TKZ. In addition, the main control board 310 instructs the production control board 320 to stop the variation of the decoration pattern based on the variation time defined in the designated variation pattern, and all symbols for confirming and stopping the symbol combination. Output a stop command.

On the other hand, if the earliest starting hold information in the storage order is not special figure 1 start hold information (S250: NO), it is determined whether it is special figure 2 start hold information (S255). If it is the special figure 2 starting hold information (S255: YES), the special figure 2 storage number N2 is decremented (S265), and the earliest start hold information in the order of storage is read out (S275). After that, special figure 2 fluctuation display processing (S400) is executed. Special figure 2 variable display processing of S400 is configured in the same manner as S310 to S360. In addition, the distribution probability of the jackpot type based on the random number 2 in the step corresponding to S330 is set more advantageous to the player than the special figure 1 start reservation information.

In this special figure start process, memory is digested in order from the earliest memory order. Here, the pachinko machine P of the present embodiment is set to "ordinary pattern winning probability ≈ 0" in the normal game state, and by distributing the jackpot patterns when the jackpot is achieved, the probability variation and time reduction are given after the special game is finished. If it is, it will be changed to "normal symbol winning probability ≈ 1".

As a result, since it is difficult to acquire the special figure 2 start hold information even if you hit the right in the normal game state, the player plays the game with the left hand and while accumulating the special figure 1 start hold information Execute the game. As a result, in the normal game state, the special figure start processing proceeds in a manner in which the special figure 1 start suspension information is read out according to the order of storage and determination and the like are executed.

On the other hand, when the special figure determination becomes a big hit, and the game state after the special game due to the big hit is given a probability change or a short time, it is easy to accumulate the special figure 2 start hold information using the so-called electric chew support. Become. The pachinko machine P of this embodiment is in a state where it is easy to win the big prize opening 15 by hitting right in the special game during the jackpot, and executes navigation display suggesting hitting right on the liquid crystal display device LCD or the like. According to this right-handed navigation display, the player plays right-handed during execution of the special game. Then, when the probability variation and the time reduction are given, the player continues to hit the right according to the navigation display that suggests the right hit even after the special game ends, while accumulating the special figure 2 start hold information. can be executed. As a result, in the game state in which probability variation and time saving are given, after the special figure 1 start suspension information that was withheld immediately before the execution of the special game is first digested, the special figure 2 start suspension information is read according to the storage order. The special figure start processing will proceed in a manner in which the judgment etc. are executed by being issued.

It should be noted that, when the gaming state is started to be given probability variation and time saving, it can also be configured to preferentially digest the special figure 2 start reservation information. In this case, when returning to the normal game state, the special figure start processing proceeds in a manner in which the special figure 1 start suspension information is digested after the special figure 2 start suspension information no longer exists.

[8 Variation production by production control board]
The variable effect by the effect control board 320 is executed by receiving a variable command from the main control board 310 by the control system shown in FIG. 9(A).

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9(B), the variable presentation process is executed when neither the special game nor the demonstration display state is in progress (S410: NO, S420: NO).

When the variation command is received (S430: YES), the decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ and the variable during-game effect data DH used for the current display effect are determined (S440).

Here, in this embodiment, the effect data storage section 320g of the effect control ROM stores a plurality of decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ for each variation pattern (variation time). In the process of S440, since the variation pattern is specified by the input from the main control board 310, one DKZ to be used in the current variation during the game is selected from among a plurality of DKZs that can be selected for the variation pattern. Determined by lottery.

The effect data storage unit 320g of the effect control ROM stores a plurality of variable in-game effect data DH for each variation pattern (variation time). In the process of S440, since the variation pattern is specified by the input from the main control board 310, one DH to be used in the current variation game effect is selected from among a plurality of DHs that can be selected for the variation pattern. Determined by lottery.

Data corresponding to DH and DKZ thus determined are read out from the performance data storage unit 320g (S450), and the variable performance is started (S490).

The effect (S500) based on the effect data DH during the variable game is terminated by stopping the fixed symbols in the decorative symbol change effect (S520) when an all-symbol stop command is received from the main control board 310 (S510: YES). . The timing of the fixed design stop in this decorative design variation display is synchronized with the timing of the special design establishment to the special design indicator TKZ by the main control board 310 .

When the special game is being played (S410: YES), instead of the variable game effect data DH, the big win effect data DV is read (S550), and the big win effect routine is executed (S560). When it is the demonstration display timing (S420: YES), the during-demonstration effect data DM is read (S570), and the during-demonstration effect routine is executed (S580).

[9 Operation member production]
Next, in the present embodiment, an operation member effect will be described in which the operation of the operation members (push button PB, operation lever LV, cross key JK) is involved to change the execution mode of the effect. The operation member effect is an effect executed when the variable in-game effect data DHn in which the operating member effect data DHn6 is not blank data is selected.

[9.1 Dialogue production]
FIG. 10 exemplifies a kind of "dialogue effect". As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the effect control board 320 places an operation guidance character ( A process for displaying the first push button character PBC1) for a predetermined time is executed. When the depression detection signal is input from the push button switch SWPB within the operation effective period after displaying the operation guide character, the effect control board 320 outputs the "upper phrase message" set as the character display data DHn2 and the operation guide effect. The next operation guide character (second push-button character PBC2) set in the data DHn6a for operation is displayed at a predetermined position on the liquid crystal display device LCD for a predetermined time. When executing the display processing of these operation guidance characters, the effect control board 320 executes the push button light emitting effect by the light emitting device LEDpb according to the light emitting effect data (push button) DHn6b1. This push button light emitting effect also has the meaning of informing the player that the operation is valid.

When a depression detection signal is input from the push button switch SWPB within the valid operation period after the second push button character PBC2 is displayed, the effect control board 320 is set as character display data DHn2. A process of displaying the "lower phrase message" and the "completion phrase message" at a predetermined position on the liquid crystal display device LCD for a predetermined time is executed.

Here, FIG. 10(A) shows a display example in the case of a big hit, and FIG. 10(B) shows a display example in the case of losing reach. In this embodiment, in the case of a big hit, the correct "lower phrase" is displayed for the "upper phrase", the completed Hyakunin Isshu phrase and the poet are displayed, and then the variable pattern confirmation effect of the jackpot is displayed. executed. On the other hand, when the reach is lost, the wrong "lower phrase" is displayed for the "upper phrase", "there is no poet" is displayed, and the fluctuation pattern confirmation performance of the lost is executed.

In this embodiment, even if the character is displayed by the operation guidance effect, if the operation member is not operated within the operation valid period, the ``upper phrase'', ``lower phrase'', and ``complete phrase'' of Hyakunin Isshu are not displayed. It is based on executing the production.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set "automatic operation" to proceed with variable effects as shown in the examples of FIGS. It has become. In addition, it is possible to set not to execute the operation guidance effect in the first place. In that case, as shown in FIG. 10(D), or, as shown in FIG. 10(D), a setting is made to select data of a configuration that does not perform an operation member effect as the variable during-game effect data DHn. is also possible.

Further, there is also data that results in "missing" in determining the symbol even though the operation member effect illustrated in FIG. 10(A) is executed. Conversely, even if the operation member presentation illustrated in FIG. 10B is executed halfway, there is also data that results in a "big win" in determining the symbol. Data configured to perform an operation member effect in which the correct "lower phrase" is displayed for the "upper phrase" illustrated in FIG. The data configured to perform an operation member effect in which the probability of being selected is high in the case of "missing")", and the wrong "lower phrase" is displayed for the "upper phrase" illustrated in FIG. If the lottery result is "big win" or "specific loss (so-called "hot heat loss")", the probability of being selected is set low.

In addition, the color of the frame that displays the phrase is also set to differ according to the reliability of the jackpot. The data has a blue frame, and the data set to the probability that it is easy to be selected when the reliability of the jackpot is high, and is difficult to select when the reliability of the jackpot is high, is a rainbow color frame.

[9.2 Branch effect]
FIG. 11(A) exemplifies a kind of "branch effect". The production control board 320 displays one "upper phrase" and a plurality of "lower phrases" at a predetermined position of the liquid crystal display device LCD according to the character display data DHn2 at the timing when the ready-to-win pattern is aligned, and also displays one "upper phrase" and a plurality of "lower phrases" for operation guidance production. According to the data DHn6a, a process of displaying the operation guiding characters (cross key character JKC, push button character PBC) for a predetermined time is executed. A plurality of "lower clauses" are highlighted as branch destinations by default, for example, the one displayed on the upper side. When an operation signal is input from the cross key switch SWJK within an operation valid period after displaying the operation guidance character, the performance control board 320 switches the branch destination to be highlighted among the plurality of "lower phrases". Further, when a depression detection signal is input from the push button switch SW within the operation valid period, the effect control board 320 displays the "complete phrase" according to the character display data DHn2 corresponding to the branch destination, and finally confirms the variable pattern. Execute the process. Also here, when executing the display processing of the operation guidance character, the effect control board 320 executes the push button light emitting effect by the light emitting device LEDpb according to the light emitting effect data (push button) DHn6b1. This push button light emitting effect also has the meaning of informing the player that the operation is valid.

In addition, in the branching effect when the lottery result is "big hit", if the wrong "lower phrase" is the branch destination, after displaying the phrase "Umami no Arazu", switch to the correct phrase display. , execute the finalizing process of the jackpot pattern. Conversely, in the branch effect when the lottery result is "no reach", even if the correct "lower phrase" is the branch destination, the "lose pattern" determination process is executed. In addition, when the push detection signal is not input from the push button switch SW in the branching effect, the variable effect is basically executed without displaying the "complete phrase" of Hyakunin Isshu.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set "automatic operation" to proceed with the variable effect as in the example of FIG. . In addition, it is possible to set not to execute the operation guidance effect in the first place. It is also possible to execute a variable pattern finalization effect while displaying, or to select data that does not perform an operation member effect as the variable in-game effect data DHn, as shown in FIG. 10(D). It's becoming

[9.3 Continuous hit effect]
FIG. 11B exemplifies one type of "continuous hit effect". The effect control board 320 displays only the "upper phrase" at a predetermined position of the liquid crystal display device LCD according to the character display data DHn2 at the timing when all the ready-to-win patterns are aligned, and displays the operation guidance character according to the operation guidance effect data DHn6a. (push-button character PBC3) and "Continuous hits!" are displayed for a predetermined time. When the continuous hit detection signal is input from the push button switch SW within the operation effective period after the operation guidance character is displayed, the effect control board 320 sequentially displays the "lower phrase" from the beginning according to the character display data DHn2, and the "jackpot". In the case of ", display the "complete phrase", and finally execute the fluctuation pattern determination process. Also here, when executing the display processing of the operation guidance character, the effect control board 320 executes the push button light emitting effect by the light emitting device LEDpb according to the light emitting effect data (push button) DHn6b1. This push button light emitting effect also has the meaning of informing the player that the operation is valid.

In addition, even if repeated hits are not performed in the repeated hitting performance when the lottery result is "big win", the correct "completion phrase" is displayed and the process of determining the big win pattern is executed. Conversely, in the continuous hit effect when the lottery result is "lose reach", even if predetermined repeated hits are made, the determination processing of "lose symbol" is executed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set "automatic operation" to progress the variable effect as shown in the example of FIG. . In addition, it is also possible to set "automatic repeated hits" that regards "long press" as repeated hits. Furthermore, it is also possible to set not to execute the operation guidance effect in the first place. It is also possible to execute a variable pattern finalization effect while displaying, or to select data that does not perform an operation member effect as the variable in-game effect data DHn, as shown in FIG. 10(D). It's becoming

[9.6 Vibration effect]
Next, a description will be given of the vibration effect executed via the vibrator control board 100. FIG. The vibration production is performed by the control system shown in FIG. 12(A). It is executed as an effect to generate vibration by any resonance state of "waveform".

The production control board 320 outputs the "vibrating body control signal output routine A" or the "vibrating body control signal output routine A" shown in FIGS. Execute the output routine B'.

First, the "vibrator control signal output routine A" will be described. In this routine, the microcomputer of the effect control board 320 determines whether or not the variable in-game effect data DHn read in response to the variation command from the main control board 310 includes the vibration effect data DHn6b3 and DHn6c3. (S810). If the data for vibration effect DHn6b3 and DHn6c3 are included (S810: YES), the vibration generator used for vibration effect is determined based on the data (S820). In this decision, one or both of the push button vibration generator VBRpb that vibrates the push button PB and the operation lever vibration generator VBRlv that vibrates the operation lever LV are determined as the vibration generators to be used for the vibration effect. do. Which one is determined depends on the "reliability group" to which the variation command including the vibration effect data DHn6b3 and DHn6c3 belongs.

The microcomputer of the effect control board 320 then determines the frequency corresponding to the vibration pattern to be generated (S830). As the vibration pattern, any one waveform is determined from "A-direction vibration waveform", "B-direction vibration waveform", and "mixed vibration waveform". Again, which vibration pattern is determined depends on the "reliability group" to which the variation command including the vibration effect data DHn6b3 and DHn6c3 belongs. When the vibration pattern is "A-direction vibration waveform", the frequency is "first frequency f1", and when "B-direction vibration waveform" is used, "second frequency f2" and "mixed vibration waveform" are used. When doing so, the pattern is such that the frequency is changed in the middle from "first frequency f1" to "second frequency f2".

Next, the microcomputer of the performance control board 320 receives a switch signal from the switch (push button switch SWPB, operation lever switch SWLV) of the operation member (push button PB, operation lever LV) equipped with a vibration generator used for vibration performance. It is determined whether or not it has been done (S840). This determination is repeatedly executed until the set time expires (S850).

If the switch signal is input before the set time expires (S840: YES), the control signal PULSCMND for the vibrator control board 100 is output (S860). Here, the control signal PULSCMND is configured as a command specifying the device to be vibrated and the frequency. If the variable in-game effect data DHn read for the current variable effect does not include the vibration effect data DHn6b3 and DHn6c3 (S810: NO), the process from S820 onwards is passed. Also, if the switch signal has not been input and the time has expired (S850: YES), the process ends without outputting the control signal PULSCMND.

Next, the "vibrator control signal output routine B" will be described. In this routine as well, the microcomputer of the effect control board 320 determines whether or not the variable in-game effect data DHn read in response to the variation command from the main control board 310 includes the vibration effect data DHn6b3 and DHn6c3. (S910). If the data DHn6b3 and DHn6c3 for vibration effect are included (S910: YES), the vibration generator used for vibration effect is determined based on the data (S920), and the frequency corresponding to the vibration pattern to be generated is determined. (S930). The processes of S920 and S930 are configured in the same manner as S820 and S830.

In this routine, immediately after the determinations in S920 and S930 are made, the control signal PULSCMND to the vibrator control board 100 is output (S940). When S910 is "NO", the processing from S920 onwards is skipped.

When the control signal PULSCMND from the effect control board 320 is input, the vibrator control board 100 applies a pulse signal of the frequency specified by the control signal to the coil VR12 of the vibration generator specified by the control signal. do. As a result, the vibrating body VR1 of the target vibration generating device generates vibration in any resonance state of the "A-direction vibration waveform", the "B-direction vibration waveform", or the "mixed vibration waveform".

When the "vibrator control signal output routine A" is executed, the "A-direction vibration waveform", "B-direction vibration waveform", or "Mixed Since the vibration is generated by the "vibration waveform", the player can use the "A-direction vibration waveform", the "B-direction vibration waveform", or the "mixed vibration waveform" through the push button PB or the operating lever LV operated by the player. You will feel the resonance state from the palm of your hand.

When the "vibrator control signal output routine B" is executed, regardless of whether the push button PB or the operation lever LV is operated, the "A direction vibration waveform", the "B direction vibration waveform", or the "mixed vibration waveform" , so that even if the player does not operate the push button PB or the operating lever LV, the player can experience the vibration effect through the sense of sight as the vibration of the push button PB or the operating lever LV. Even in this case, if the player touches the push button PB or the operating lever LV, the player can also experience the vibration effect from the palm of the hand.

In this embodiment, which of the "vibrating body control signal output routine A" and the "vibrating body control signal output routine B" is executed depends on the "reliability group" to which the variation command input from the main control board 310 belongs. ”. For example, the "vibrating body control signal output routine B", in which vibration is generated even if the player does not operate the operation member, is likely to be selected when the reliability is high, and is less likely to be selected when the reliability is low. Confidence groups can be configured to

Further, in each routine, which of the "A-direction vibration waveform", "B-direction vibration waveform", and "mixed vibration waveform" is selected depends on the "reliability level" to which the variation command input from the main control board 310 belongs. group”. For example, the reliability groups can be configured so that the "mixed vibration waveform" is likely to be selected when the reliability is high, and is less likely to be selected when the reliability is low.

In addition, in the variable effect when the "vibrating body control signal output routine A" is executed, the character image of the push button PB or the operation lever LV appears on the liquid crystal display device LCD, and "Press!" or "Pull!" It is configured to output a message such as text or voice.
