It is the figure which showed the identification design displayed on the display area of a display apparatus. It is a figure for demonstrating the outline|summary of the production|presentation for jackpots. It is a figure for demonstrating the outline|summary of the production|presentation during fluctuation|variation of the 1st time. It is a figure for demonstrating the outline|summary of special production|presentation. It is a timing chart at the time of special control. It is a diagram for explaining the flow of production when the first special figure 2 lottery is a win and a loss. FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a sixth specific example;

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

The game machine 1 is equipped with a game board 90 . The game board 90 is made of a substantially square plywood board, and a guide rail 903 forming a passage for guiding a game ball fired by operating a shooting device 908 (shooting handle) to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. is provided as follows.

The game area 902 is provided with a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like. A display area 911 of the display device 91 that executes various effects is an area that can be visually recognized through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90 . Note that the shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed as appropriate (the shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed by changing the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). .

In addition, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flowing state of the game balls when the falling game balls collide with each other. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes according to the conditions when it collides with the game nail.

In such a game machine 1 , game balls are shot toward the game area 902 by operating the shooting device 908 . When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as a starting winning opening 904 or a big winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by a payout device.

Descriptions of components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1 and the lower and upper trays for storing game balls, will be omitted. For these, those having the same structure as known gaming machines can be applied.

The winning lottery is executed when a game ball enters the start winning opening 904 by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown). In this embodiment, as the starting winning opening 904, a first starting winning opening 904a (so-called special figure 1 winning opening) and a second starting winning opening 904b (so-called special figure 2 winning opening) are provided (Fig. 1). The game area 902 in the present embodiment is roughly divided into the left game area (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the first game area 902a) and the right game area (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the second game area 902b). (see FIG. 1). The first start winning opening 904a is provided at a position where a game ball that has entered the first game area 902a can win (see FIG. 1). It should be noted that the game ball that has entered the second game area 902b is almost never won in the first start winning opening 904a. That is, the first start winning hole 904a is a winning hole aimed at by a so-called left-handed game. The second start winning opening 904b is a winning opening that is normally closed (closed by a so-called electric tulip (electric chew)), and is a normal starting opening 905 (so-called through) provided in the second game area 902b. ), which is opened when an open lottery is won which is executed when a game ball passes through. That is, the second start winning opening 904b is a winning opening aimed at by a so-called right-handed game.

A numerical value (hereinafter also referred to as win/fail judgment information) is acquired from a random number source triggered by the winning of a game ball to these starting winning openings 904, and when the numerical value is the same as a predetermined winning numerical value If it is different, it is a loss. In this embodiment, a big win and a small win are set as the mode of winning by lottery. When the jackpot is won, the game then shifts to the jackpot game state (corresponding to the jackpot game state in the present invention). In the jackpot game state, the jackpot 906 is frequently opened, and since it is the same as a known game machine, detailed description is omitted. In the jackpot game state, the player can win a lot of game balls (so-called payout balls) by letting game balls enter the frequently-opened big winning hole 906 . In other words, the player can obtain a direct profit from the jackpot game.

On the other hand, if a small win is won, then an event occurs in which the privilege area 20 (the area marked with the letter "V" shown in FIG. 1) into which the game ball can enter is opened. An opening/closing member 21 is provided on the front side of the privilege area 20. When the opening/closing member 21 is in a closed state, entry of game balls into the privilege area 20 is prevented, and the opening/closing member 21 is in an open state ( 1), it is possible for game balls to enter the privilege area 20. FIG. In other words, the opening/closing member 21 is in the closed state in the normal state, and when the small prize is won, the opening/closing member 21 is opened. In this embodiment, the opening/closing member 21 is opened only once. When the game ball enters the privilege area 20, a big win is won and a big win game is executed. In this embodiment, when a small hit is won, the opening and closing member 21 is kept open for a relatively long time. ), the game ball almost certainly enters the privilege area 20.例文帳に追加In other words, winning a small win is substantially the same as winning a big win. However, it may be set so that the game ball does not always enter the privilege area 20 even if the small hit is won. For example, the opening and closing member 21 is in the open state for a relatively short time, and if the game ball does not reach the vicinity of the opening and closing member 21 with good timing when the opening and closing member 21 is in the open state, the privilege area 20 It is conceivable to set it so that game balls do not enter.

The gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment is a so-called one-and-two mixed machine. Since the basic playability of the one-two-kind mixing machine is well known, it will be briefly described below. Also, the gameplay shown below is merely an example, and can be changed as appropriate. As shown in FIG. 2(a), in the present embodiment, a normal game state and a specific game state are set as a game state (hereinafter also referred to as a basic game state) when a game is played with the aim of winning a jackpot. ing. It can also be said that the basic game state is a state when the game is not in the jackpot game state executed when the jackpot is won. The normal game state is a state in which a game ball is shot aiming at the first start winning opening 904a (performing a so-called left-handed game). A game is played with the aim of winning a jackpot in a winning lottery (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a special figure 1 lottery) that is executed when a game ball wins a prize in the first start winning hole 904a. In the special figure 1 lottery, even if a small prize is won, the privilege area 20 is in an open state for a very short time (a time when it is almost impossible for the game ball to enter the privilege area 20). Also, the probability of winning a small hit is lower than the special figure 2 lottery to be described later. In other words, during the normal game state, it is a game state in which it is not possible to expect a big win via a small win.

The specific game state is a state in which a game ball is fired aiming at the normal starting opening 905 and the second starting winning opening 904b (performing a so-called right-handed game). During the specific game state, the winning probability of the opening lottery of the second start winning opening 904b triggered by the game ball entering the normal starting opening 905 is set extremely high, and the second starting winning opening 904b is easily opened. do. Winning lottery (hereinafter sometimes referred to as special figure 2 lottery) that is executed when the game ball wins in the opened second start winning opening 904b is different from the special figure 1 lottery, small winning probability is high. In this embodiment, the probability of winning a small hit by the special figure 2 lottery in the specific game state is set to about 1/2 (50%). Therefore, basically, it can be said that it is a game state aiming at winning a big hit by entering a game ball into the privilege area 20 which has been opened by winning a small hit. In addition, even in the special figure 2 lottery, since it will be elected to the jackpot with the same probability as the special figure 1 lottery, it may be elected to the jackpot without going through the small hit (so-called direct hit). In this embodiment, the jackpot (direct hit) probability is set to about 1/320. Therefore, when the special figure 2 lottery is performed, it can be said that the probability of obtaining a big hit via a small hit is higher than the probability of obtaining a big hit through a so-called direct hit. Since the player can expect to win a big win via such a small win, the specific game state can be said to be a game state more advantageous to the player than the normal game state.

As the types of jackpots, normal jackpots and specific jackpots are set. When winning the normal jackpot, the state is shifted to the normal game state after the jackpot game state ends. On the other hand, when a specific jackpot is won, the game shifts to a specific game state after the jackpot game state ends (see FIG. 2(a)). Since the specific game state is a state where you can expect to win a big win via a small win, moving to the specific game state means that you can expect to win consecutive big wins (so-called consecutive chances). Become. In the present embodiment, in the case of a jackpot obtained by the special drawing 2 lottery (both cases of jackpot winning via a small win and jackpot winning by a so-called direct hit), the jackpot becomes a specific jackpot, so-called consecutive chance. will occur. In addition, the ratio between the normal jackpot and the specific jackpot (so-called jackpot allocation) can be set as appropriate. Only a specific jackpot may be set without setting a normal jackpot. In other words, it may be set to shift to a specific game state after all jackpot game states are completed. Moreover, it may be set such that the jackpot obtained by the special figure 2 lottery includes the normal jackpot.

In this embodiment, the result of the winning lottery is notified by a combination of the identification patterns 10 (see FIG. 3) displayed in the display area 911. FIG. Specifically, a plurality (three in the present embodiment) of identification pattern groups 10g including a plurality of types of identification patterns 10 are variably displayed, and the identification pattern 10 selected from each identification pattern group 10g and stopped is used for the lottery. Build a combination that shows the result. Any combination of the identification symbols 10 for reporting a big win, a loss, and a small win may be used. In the present embodiment, when a jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 10 is three sets of the same symbols. In the case of losing, at least a part of the identification patterns 10 forming the combination are of a type different from the other identification patterns 10 forming the combination (excluding the combinations that result in small wins). . In the case of a small hit, the identification patterns 10 of "1", "3" and "5" are arranged in order from the left. Combinations indicating "wins" including big wins and small wins may be set. In drawings other than FIG. 3, illustration of the identification pattern 10 is omitted.

In the present embodiment, notification of the results of the success/failure determination is started (variation of the identification pattern 10 is started) in the order in which the numerical values for the above-mentioned success/failure determination are acquired. , when the pass/fail judgment result based on the numerical value obtained before that is notified, the data is stored in the storage means provided on the control board (not shown) until the pass/fail judgment result based on the certain numerical value is started to be notified. remembered. Numerical values for which notification of the result of right/failure judgment (variation of the identification pattern 10) has not yet started (the value corresponding to each of the numbers is "suspension (information)". Suspension (information) is a subordinate concept of the right/failure determination information. The maximum number of stored (maximum pending number) of (can be said to exist) can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of reservations that the storage means in this embodiment can store is four for those triggered by winning the first start winning opening 904a (so-called special figure 1 reservation), and in the second starting winning opening 904b There is one thing (so-called special figure 2 reservation) triggered by winning a prize. If both the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation exist, the notification of the success judgment result based on the special figure 2 reservation is preferentially executed (special figure 2 reservation priority digestion). It should be noted that the presence of pending information stored in the storage means may be displayed as a pending symbol in the display area 911 (not shown).

When shifting to the specific game state, the player is instructed to shoot a game ball toward the second start winning opening 904b (perform a so-called right-handed game). As described above, during the specific game state, the game ball is relatively easily won in the second start winning opening 904b, so the player can relatively easily win the second starting winning opening 904b. (Special figure 2 pending) can be acquired. In the gaming machine 1 in this embodiment, as one of the end conditions of the specific game state, "one special figure 2 lottery has been lost" is set (special figure 1 lottery is not included) . In other words, the so-called time saving frequency is "one time" (see FIG. 2(a)).

When the special figure 1 lottery wins the specific jackpot, that is, at the time of the so-called "first hit", the special game state is normally shifted to the special game state without the special figure 2 reservation. Therefore, when a so-called right-handed hit is performed, the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 904b is immediately triggered by the winning of the special figure 2 lottery. variation) is started. On the other hand, when a specific jackpot is won through the special figure 2 lottery, that is, when a so-called "continuous chance" occurs, there is a possibility that the special figure 2 reserve obtained in the previous specific game state exists. In this case, after the end of the jackpot game state, since it means that the special figure 2 reservation has already been acquired before the specific game state is started, it corresponds to the special figure 2 reservation with the start of the specific game state An effect for notifying the success/failure determination result is started. In this way, when shifting to the specific game state, first of all, an effect (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a first change effect 32) for announcing the result of the first special figure 2 lottery is executed.

If you have acquired one special figure 2 hold (maximum number of special figure 2 reservations that can be stored in the storage means) before the end of the first variable production 32, the first special figure 2 lottery Even if the result is lost and the conditions for ending the specific game state are satisfied, the special figure 2 lottery by the special figure 2 reservation that has already been acquired will be received. In other words, after the transition to the specific game state, an effect (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a second change effect) is executed to notify the result of the second special figure 2 lottery. In other words, from the player's point of view, it is possible to win a small hit of about 1/2 by "twice" special 2 lottery (a so-called direct hit can also occur, but the probability of occurrence is The game is played with the aim of achieving a value that can be said to be extremely low (see FIG. 2(b)). If the result of the first special figure 2 lottery (the first fluctuation production 32) is lost, the specific game state is terminated and the normal game state is temporarily transferred, but the special figure that has already been acquired 2. If you win a small hit in the second special drawing 2 lottery based on the reservation and win a jackpot (or if you win a jackpot by a so-called direct hit), the jackpot will be a specific jackpot, so the jackpot game state ends. Later, it will shift to the specific game state again. It should be noted that, as a matter of course, if you win a small hit in the first special figure 2 lottery and win a jackpot (or if you win a jackpot by a so-called direct hit), the jackpot will not be transferred to the normal game state. After the game state ends, it will shift to the specific game state again.

In the gaming machine 1 configured as described above, various effects are executed by a circuit (effect control means) constructed on a sub-control board (not shown). In the following, a detailed description will be given of the effect when shifting to the specific game state.

As described above, the specific game state is substantially a state aiming to win a small hit in the special figure 2 lottery of "twice". From the player's point of view, it is a mode in which the player wishes to reach an end in which a small winning is announced in either the first fluctuation effect 32 or the second fluctuation effect. The specific game state that has transitioned through the acquisition of the specific jackpot by the special drawing 1 lottery (acquisition of the so-called “first hit”) is the “first time” specific game state, and the specific jackpot by the special drawing 2 lottery after that (so-called “continuous "Chance" jackpot.Including both via a small hit and via a direct hit). There is a possibility that there is already a special figure 2 reservation at the start of the specific game state after the first time. More specifically, it means that the special figure 2 reservation has already been acquired before the jackpot game that is executed prior to the transition to the second or later specific game state is started. In this embodiment, the following special control may be executed under such conditions.

The special control is the production during the jackpot game state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the jackpot production 31 (corresponding to the winning production in the present invention) (see FIG. 4), and the second and subsequent specific game states (hereinafter , When it is simply referred to as a specific game state, it refers to the second and subsequent specific game states). is shown as if it were a series of performances (a series of performances). That is, in a situation where the first fluctuating production 32 based on the already acquired special figure 2 reservation is started immediately after the jackpot production 31 ends, the big winning production 31 and the first fluctuation are started. The performance 32 is shown as if it were a series of performances. It can be said that the jackpot effect 31 and the first fluctuation effect 32 are "seamless".

In the jackpot production 31 of the present embodiment, a video (battle) between a character on the player side (hereinafter referred to as an ally character) and a character on the enemy side (hereinafter referred to as an enemy character) is displayed in the display area 911. (See FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b)). The ally character and the enemy character may be set with only one type of character, or may be set with a plurality of types of characters. In the case of a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are set, it is also possible to suggest the ending of the production depending on the type of character.

As the ending of the jackpot effect 31, a successful ending, which is a happy ending for the player, and a failure ending, which is executed when the successful ending is not achieved, are set. In this embodiment, the successful outcome is that the ally character is in an advantageous situation (the enemy character is in a disadvantageous situation), and that the ally character is in a disadvantageous situation (the enemy character is in an advantageous situation). is set as a failure ending. The "advantageous situation" and "disadvantageous situation" may be any content that the player who enjoys the presentation can recognize as such. In this embodiment, the successful outcome is that the friendly character attacks the enemy character and the attack succeeds (see FIG. 4(c-1)). is set as a failure ending (see FIG. 4(c-2)).

The ending of the big win effect 31 is set so as to be shown to the player in accordance with the timing when the big win game state ends. Specifically, it is set so that the end of the big win effect 31 is shown in the final round constituting the big win gaming state. In the jackpot gaming state, one round of games in which the big winning port 906 is opened is repeated multiple times until a predetermined condition is satisfied. At the same time, the end of the big win effect 31 is executed. In other words, the jackpot effect 31 includes at least a part that is executed during the last round. The round (timing of starting) at which the big win effect 31 is started may be of any kind.

The end of the big win effect 31 means that the big win game state ends and the specific game state starts. That is, it means that the first effect during fluctuation 32 is started. The content of the first variation during effect 32 is established on the premise that the big win effect 31 has ended in failure (see FIG. 4(c-2)). In other words, the content of the effect 32 during the first fluctuation is taken over from the content of the effect 31 for big win that ended in failure. Since the unsuccessful outcome of the jackpot effect 31 is that the ally character is put in a disadvantageous situation, the first fluctuating effect 32 is an effect as to whether or not the disadvantageous situation of the ally character is overturned. In other words, the aspect in which the unfavorable situation of the ally character is overturned is set as the successful ending of the first fluctuating effect 32, and the aspect in which the unfavorable situation of the ally character is not overturned is set as the unsuccessful ending of the first fluctuating effect 32. ing. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the special control is executed, the big win effect 31 (failure ending) and the first fluctuating effect 32 that occurs continuously thereafter are shown as a continuous effect (see FIG. 7). ).

In this embodiment, based on the fact that the failure ending of the big win effect 31 is that the friend character is attacked by the enemy character, the first change effect 32 allows the friend character to stand up after being attacked by the enemy character. Whether or not (see FIG. 5(a)). The aspect in which the ally character stands up is the successful ending of the first fluctuating effect 32 (see FIG. 5(b-1)), and the aspect in which the ally character cannot stand up is the failure ending of the first fluctuating effect 32 (FIG. 5). (b-2)). That is, the first effect during variation 32 is continuously generated from the effect 31 for big win when the effect 31 for big win ends in failure. From a different point of view, the jackpot effect 31 can be said to be a "branch" for whether or not to shift to the first fluctuating effect 32, and when one of the "branch" (failure ending) occurs, It is assumed that the continuity between the effect 31 for use and the effect 32 during the first fluctuation can be felt. In addition, in the case where the types of allied characters and enemy characters are set to change each time, the characters that appear in the first fluctuating production 32 are of the same type as the characters that appear in the big win production 31. be. When indicating whether or not the teammate character can stand up, the player may be prompted to operate an operation means such as a push button.

After moving to the specific game state (after the jackpot game state is over), the first special figure 2 lottery (result of judgment corresponding to the special figure 2 hold that has already been acquired) hits (small hit or big hit) If so, at least one of the big win effect 31 and the first fluctuating effect 32 will be a successful ending (see FIG. 8). In other words, it is shown that the first special figure 2 lottery is a win in the big hit production 31 or the first fluctuation production 32.

When the big win performance 31 is executed, the variation of the identification pattern 10 corresponding to the first special figure 2 lottery has not yet started, so that the big win performance 31 does not show the win. , so to speak, it can be said that it is a “predictive” hit notification. Considering that even the variation of the identification pattern 10 has not started, it can be considered that the successful ending of the performance 31 for the big win is not "announcement" of the win, but only "suggestion" of the win. When it is indicated that the first special figure 2 lottery is a hit by the jackpot production 31 becoming a successful ending (see FIG. 4 (c-1)), the identification corresponding to the first special figure 2 lottery A special effect 33 (see FIG. 6) is executed as an effect (effect corresponding to the effect 32 during the first change) from the start of the fluctuation of the pattern 10 to the stop of the change. The mode of the special effect 33 may be of any type. It is conceivable to make a special performance 33 having a content that emphasizes that the first special figure 2 lottery is a win by the successful ending of the performance 31 for big win. From a different point of view, the jackpot effect 31 and the special effect 33 leading to a successful ending can also be regarded as a series of effects.

On the other hand, in the first variation production 32, the mode in which the first special figure 2 lottery is shown to be a win is from the start of variation of the identification pattern 10 corresponding to the first special figure 2 lottery to the stop of variation. It can be said that this is a general aspect in which the hit is notified as a production of the. However, since the content of the first fluctuation effect 32 is based on the premise that the big win effect 31 has ended in failure, the player will not be able to see the effect during the big win game, not after the big win game is over. It seems as if the ending of the series of productions that has started indicates that it is a hit.

If the first special figure 2 lottery after shifting to the specific game state (after the end of the jackpot game state) results in a loss, the jackpot performance 31 ends in failure, and is executed after the jackpot game ends. The first change-in-progress effect 32 to be executed also ends in failure (see FIG. 8). In other words, the end of a series of effects started during the jackpot game indicates that the first special figure 2 lottery is lost.

After that, the result of the second special figure 2 lottery after shifting to the specific game state is shown. Since any mode of presentation for notifying the result of the lottery may be used, the description is omitted. If the lottery wins (small win, big win), it becomes a consecutive chance, and after the big win game is over, the state shifts to the specific game state again.

In this way, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes the jackpot effect 31 and the first fluctuating effect 32 after the jackpot game state ends (corresponding to the hold that is digested first after the jackpot game state ends). It is possible to execute a special control that makes it appear as if the production during fluctuation) is a series of productions. The state of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, like a general gaming machine, is a basic gaming state (as described above, the specific gaming state is a type of the basic gaming state) in which the game is played with the aim of winning a jackpot. , a jackpot game state that is executed when a jackpot is won, a jackpot effect 31 that is executed during the jackpot game state, and a basic game state (specific game state) that is executed (first time). It can be said that by making the effect during fluctuation look like a series of effects, the player can feel amusement not found in conventional gaming machines.

Specific examples of improvement, modification, embodiment, etc. of the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment will be described below. It should be noted that, as far as possible, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of items described using the following specific examples are applied.

○First specific example In the above embodiment, when the player enters the specific game state, two special 2 lottery wins (small win, big win) will occur, and after the big win game ends, the state will shift to the specific game state again. Although it was explained that there is a certain thing, that is, the lottery opportunity of special figure 2 whether or not it becomes a consecutive chance is "twice", the number of times of the lottery opportunity can be changed as appropriate. For example, the lottery opportunity may be set to "once". In this way, the fact that the ending of the first fluctuating production 32 after the big win production 31 (failure ending) becomes a failure ending means that the only special figure 2 lottery in the specific game state is lost. It becomes the form shown. In other words, the mode in which the ending of the first fluctuating effect 32 is a failure ending indicates the end of the consecutive chances, and the other mode indicates the continuation of the consecutive chances (shifting to the specific game state again). Therefore, the setting is easy for the player to understand.

○Second Specific Example It has been explained that the special control in the above embodiment makes the jackpot effect 31 and the first fluctuation effect 32 look as if they were a series of effects. ” may include an effect during variation after the effect 32 during variation for the first time. For example, the jackpot effect 31, the first fluctuating effect 32, and one or a plurality of fluctuating effects after the second time may be shown as if they were a "series of effects". That is, what is necessary is just to perform "a series of productions" so that it may straddle the time of shifting from a jackpot game state to a specific game state (basic game state).

○ Third specific example In the above embodiment, it was explained that special control is executed when transitioning from the jackpot game state to the specific game state (time saving), but for example, from the jackpot game state to the normal game state (low probability - It is good also as what special control is performed when shifting to time saving no). In other words, the state after the end of the jackpot game may be a basic game state in which the player aims to win the jackpot. As long as the during-fluctuation effect 32 looks like a "series of effects", the state after the jackpot game ends is not limited to the specific game state.

(Fourth Specific Example) The gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment is a so-called one-type two-type mixing machine, but it may be another type of gaming machine. For example, a low probability state with a relatively low probability of winning a jackpot and a relatively high probability fluctuation state (high probability state) are set, and after the jackpot game is completed, the probability fluctuation state is changed at a predetermined rate. (It may be a so-called variable loop type, or it may be an ST type). In such a probability variable machine, the big win performance 31 in the big win game state and the first fluctuation performance 32 after shifting to the probability fluctuation state are made to appear as if they are a ``series of performances''. can be considered. Since the probability fluctuation state is a state in which it is easier to win a jackpot than in the low probability state, (depending on the level of the jackpot winning probability in the probability fluctuation state), the first lottery after shifting to the probability fluctuation state You can also expect to win the jackpot. Therefore, it is assumed that the effect 32 during the first fluctuation is continuously executed from the effect 31 for big win.

○ Fifth specific example In the above embodiment, it was explained that the maximum number of stored special figures 2 pending is 1, but the maximum number of stored special figures 2 pending can be increased or decreased as appropriate. In other words, it is sufficient that it has storage means for storing one or more reservations (holds to be preferentially consumed) that are consumed after the jackpot gaming state is completed. In this way, the big win effect 31 executed during the big win game state and the fluctuating effect for announcing the result of the first win/fail lottery executed after the end of the big win game (win/fail determination result corresponding to the hold) are performed. It is possible to show it as a series of performances.

○Sixth Specific Example The method of showing the jackpot effect 31 and the first fluctuating effect 32 after the end of the jackpot game state as if they were a series of effects is limited to the aspect (battle effect) of the above embodiment. do not have. Anything that the player perceives as a series of presentations is acceptable. As other methods, the following can be exemplified.

When the special control is executed, the jackpot effect 31 is set to suggest the reliability of the first fluctuating effect 32.例文帳に追加For example, it is assumed that a percentage is displayed in the jackpot effect 31 . A success ending of the jackpot effect 31 is displayed with a percentage of 100% (see FIG. 9(b-1)), and a failure ending is displayed with a value less than 100%. (See FIG. 9(b-2)). It is assumed that the value displayed at the failure ending indicates the probability that the ending of the first fluctuating effect 32 will be a successful ending. That is, when the first special figure 2 lottery after the end of the big win game state is won, the big win effect 31 is a success ending (100% is displayed), or 1 after the end of the big win game. The effect 32 during the change of the time is set so as to have a successful ending. The probability that the first fluctuating effect 32 after the end of the jackpot game will be a successful ending is suggested by the failure ending (value less than 100%) of the jackpot effect 31 (see FIG. 9(c)). . In addition, the above value shown in the jackpot production 31 may indicate the probability (probability) that the second special figure 2 lottery will be a small hit or a big hit as it is, or indicate a rough high or low. may be In addition, the suggestion of reliability is not limited to numerical values, and a method of suggesting the "color" of an image or the like is also conceivable.

○Seventh Concrete Example A plurality of aspects of the jackpot effect 31 and the first fluctuating effect 32 after the end of the jackpot game state may be set. It is assumed that the probability (reliability) that each performance will lead to a successful ending is suggested according to what mode of performance is executed. Since the first fluctuating production 32 after the end of the jackpot game state must be based on the contents of the jackpot production 31 (failure ending), the first fluctuating production is performed according to the aspect of the jackpot production 31. A configuration in which the aspect of the production 32 changes is also possible.
