The chances of executing the non-specific operation performance without finally deriving the big win result are less than the opportunities of executing the specific operation performance, and when the specific operation performance is executed, the operation promoting performance is given. is executable, and when the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the operation prompting effect ends with the operation of the operation means as a trigger, When the non-specific operation effect is executed, the operation prompting effect can be executed, and the operation means is not operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, and the elapse of time is triggered. The end mode of the operation prompting effect when the operation prompting effect ends is the operation means is not operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the non-specific operation effect, and the time elapses as a trigger. It is the same as the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends, and the operation prompting effect is triggered by the passage of time without the operating means being operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the non-specific operation effect. The time required for the end of the operation prompting effect to end is the time when the operation means is not operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, and the operation prompting effect ends with the elapse of time. The operation prompting effect can be executed when the special operation effect is executed longer than the time required to end the operation prompting effect when the operation prompting effect is completed, and the operation prompting display is performed in the special operation effect. If the operation means is operated while the player is in the game, the result of the special operation effect is derived with the operation of the operation means as a trigger, the operation promotion effect ends, and the result of the special operation effect is: A special result that is derived only when the jackpot is won, and when the jackpot is won and when the jackpot is not won and a non-special result that is derived at any time, and when the non-special result is derived with the operation of the operation means as a trigger in the special operation presentation, the operation of the operation means is the trigger. There are a first end mode and a second end mode when the operation promoting effect ends, and the non-special result is derived in the special operation effect triggered by the operation of the operating means. When the operation promotion effect is completed in the second end mode, a final big win result is derived in the performance game compared to when the operation promotion performance is completed in the first end mode. The gist is that there are high expectations for

According to this invention, it is possible to improve interest.

Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a low-probability state and a high-probability state as game states with different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery. The high-probability state is a gaming state with a high jackpot probability compared to the low-probability state. The high-probability state is a so-called "probability-variable state (probability-variable state)", and the low-probability state is a "non-probability-variable state (non-probability-variable state)". Hereinafter, the high-probability state will be referred to as the "variable-probability state", and the low-probability state will be referred to as the "non-variable-probability state".

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability of the game ball entering the second starting port 27 is higher than in the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electrical support state", and the low base state is the "non-electrical support state".

The high base state can be realized, for example, by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control for shortening the variation time of the normal game as compared with the low base state. The second control is normal symbol probability variation control for varying the probability of winning the normal winning lottery (normal winning probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is open time extension control that makes the total open time of the first variable member 28 in one normal per game longer than in the low base state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, the control to increase the number of opening times of the first variable member 28 in one normal winning game than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in the normal winning game At least one of the controls for making the open time of is longer than in the low base state. Also, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, average variation time) more likely to be shorter than in the low base state. When the variable time shortening control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state becomes a so-called "variable time shortening state (variable short state)".

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first variable member 28 may be in the open state even in the low base state. There is However, when it is in the low base state, for example, it is configured so as not to win the normal winning lottery, and when it is in the low base state, the first variable member 28 is not opened, and the game is opened to the second start port 27. It may be configured so that the ball does not enter the ball. In addition, when it is in the low base state, for example, even if it wins the normal winning lottery, the first variable member 28 is configured not to be in the open state, so that the game ball does not enter the second start port 27. can be configured to In the above configuration, the low base state is a state in which a game ball cannot enter the second starting port 27, and the high base state is a state in which a game ball can enter the second starting port 27. I can say.

The game state (type of game state) includes a game state that is a non-variable probability state and a low base state, a game state that is a non-variable probability state and a high base state, and a state that is a variable probability state and a low base state. There are a certain game state and a game state which is a probability variable state and a high base state. Then, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is controlled to one game state among a plurality of types of game states. In addition, in the present embodiment, as a general rule, a game state that is a non-variable probability state and a low base state, a game state that is a non-variable probability state and a high base state, and a high base state that is a probability variable state The game state is controlled to one of the game state and the game state.

Next, the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko game machine 10 has a plurality of types of jackpot patterns as special jackpot patterns. A plurality of kinds of jackpot patterns are classified into first jackpot patterns and second jackpot patterns. The types of jackpots are determined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. The jackpot symbol may define a game state after the jackpot game ends. In the big-hit game, first, an opening performance for notifying the start of the big-hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. In the jackpot game, a round game is performed in which the jackpot 29 is opened after the opening effect is finished. A round game is performed with a predetermined upper limit number of times as the upper limit. In one round game, the big winning opening 29 is the first round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter, or the second round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. open for a while. In the round game, a round production is performed. In the jackpot game, when the final round game is finished, an ending effect for notifying the end of the jackpot game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends.

For the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols, "first jackpot" is defined as the type of jackpot. For the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols, "10 times" is set as the upper limit number of round games. The big-hit symbols classified as the first big-hit symbols are determined to be in a probability variable state as a game state after the end of the big-hit game. The jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols are set to be in a high base state as the game state after the jackpot game is finished. For the jackpot symbols classified as the second jackpot symbols, "second jackpot" is defined as the type of jackpot. For the jackpot symbols classified as the second jackpot symbols, "8 times" is set as the upper limit number of round games. The big-hit symbols classified as the second big-hit symbols are determined to be in a non-probability-variable state as the game state after the big-hit game is finished. In addition, for the jackpot patterns classified as the second jackpot patterns, the game state after the jackpot game ends is until the 100th special game is finished, or before the 100th special game is finished. A high base state is set until a game is awarded.

In addition, in the display effect that can be executed by the effect display device 25 in the present embodiment, patterns for effect (hereinafter referred to as effect patterns) are variably displayed in a plurality of rows, and finally the combination of the effect patterns is fixed and stopped. There is a production pattern variation game (hereinafter referred to as a production game). The performance game is executed with multiple rows of performance symbols fluctuating. The production pattern is a pattern decorated with characters, patterns, etc., for diversifying the display production, and is also called "decorative pattern" or "decorative pattern". The effect game according to the present embodiment is performed by vertically variably displaying (scrolling) the first, second, and third symbol rows. The performance symbols in the first row are so-called first symbols, the performance symbols in the second row are so-called second symbols, and the performance symbols in the third row are so-called third symbols. In the following description, "first column" is indicated as "left column", "first pattern" is indicated as "left pattern", "second column" is indicated as "middle column", and "second pattern" is indicated. The "middle pattern" is indicated, the "third column" is indicated as the "right column", and the "third pattern" is indicated as the "right pattern". In each row, as a general rule, production patterns imitating numbers [1] to [8] are variably displayed in a predetermined order. As described above, in the present embodiment, there is an effect game performed using the effect symbols.

The production game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game and ended with the end of the special game. Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect game while the special game is being executed. Then, in the effect game, a combination of effect symbols corresponding to the special symbols fixed and stopped displayed in the special game is fixed and stopped. In the special game, when the big-hit symbols are determined and stopped and displayed, the big-hit symbols based on the performance symbols are determined and stopped and displayed in the effect game. Further, in the special game, when the winning symbols are determined and stopped displayed, in the performance game, the winning symbols due to the performance symbols are determined and stopped. In this way, in the effect game, when the big win is won, the big win pattern by the effect pattern is finally fixed and displayed, and the big win result is derived. On the other hand, in the effect game, when the big win is not won, the final big win pattern by the effect pattern is not fixed and stopped, and the big win result is not derived. That is, in this embodiment, in the performance game, the big win result is finally derived when the big win is won, but the big win result is not finally derived when the big win is not won.

For example, the big hit pattern by the production pattern is a pattern combination such as "777" in which the production pattern of all rows is the same. For example, the missing design by the production design is a design combination such as "323", "112", "426", etc., in which at least some rows of production symbols are different from other rows of production symbols. In addition, in the effect game, the effect symbol is once stopped and displayed before the fixed stop display. In this specification, the term "temporary stop display" means a state indicating that there is a possibility that the pattern may be displayed in a variable manner again, such as a "fluctuation state", or a state indicating that the pattern is different from the fixed stop display. .

In the production game, there is a case where reach is formed and reach production is performed. In this embodiment, the effect symbols imitating the same number are temporarily displayed in specific columns (left and right columns in this embodiment) among a plurality of columns, and a column different from the specific column The state in which the effect symbols (in the present embodiment, the middle row) are continuously variably displayed corresponds to the state in which the ready-to-win state is formed. The ready-to-win effect may include, for example, a plurality of types of ready-to-win effects in which the characters to appear and the actions of the effect patterns are different. The ready-to-win effect in this embodiment includes a normal ready-to-win effect and a super ready-to-win effect performed after the start of the normal ready-to-win effect. The super ready-to-win effect is executed, for example, by developing the effect contents of the normal ready-to-win effect. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the super ready-to-win effect is executed, the expectation of a big hit in the special game being executed is higher than when only the normal ready-to-win effect is executed.

The super ready-to-win effect of the present embodiment is developed in such a manner that the first character as the main character and the second character as the enemy face each other. In this embodiment, only when the big win is won, the result that the first character wins in the confrontation between the first character and the second character is derived, and the big win pattern by the production pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed. Sometimes. In addition, in the present embodiment, regardless of whether the jackpot is won or not, the result that the first character loses in the confrontation between the first character and the second character is derived, There is a case where the lost design due to the production design is temporarily stopped and displayed. However, in the pachinko game machine 10, when a big hit is won, when the losing pattern due to the performance pattern is once stopped and displayed in the super ready-to-win performance, the resurrection performance is executed in the performance display device 25 thereafter. In the resurrection performance, the first character appears, attacks the lost symbols by the temporarily stopped and displayed performance symbols, changes the temporarily halted and displayed performance symbols to the big hit symbols by the performance symbols, and the big hit symbols by the performance symbols. is expanded with the content to temporarily stop and display.

The jackpot determination value used for the jackpot lottery when in the variable probability state and the jackpot determination value used for the jackpot lottery when it is in the non-variable state may be partially the same, or all may be different values. There may be. Further, the main ROM 40b stores an effect determination value used for the effect lottery. The performance lottery is a lottery for determining whether to execute the ready-to-win performance when the jackpot lottery is not won, and corresponds to the ready-to-win lottery.

Also, the main ROM 40b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. A plurality of types of variation patterns are associated with variation times from the start of the special game to the end of the special game. That is, the variation pattern is associated with the variation time of the special game. Therefore, the variation pattern can be said to be information capable of specifying the variation time of the special game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the variation time of the special game is determined by determining the variation pattern. Also, the variation pattern may be information that can specify part or all of the effect contents of the effect game performed from the start of the special game until the end of the special game. Variation patterns include, for example, a big hit variation pattern and a losing variation pattern. The big hit variation pattern is associated with the production contents of the production game such that after the ready-to-win production, the final jackpot pattern is determined and stopped to be displayed. Loss fluctuation patterns include a fluctuation pattern without loss reach and a fluctuation pattern with loss reach. The non-lose reach variation pattern is associated with, as the effect content of the effect game, the effect content of finalizing and stopping display of the losing symbol combination without going through the ready-to-win effect. The fluctuation pattern with the losing reach is associated with the effect content of finalizing and stopping display of the losing symbol combination through the ready-to-win effect as the effect content of the effect game. In addition, the jackpot variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern of normal reach performance associated with execution of only normal reach performance among normal reach performance and super reach performance, and a jackpot variation pattern of super reach performance associated with execution of super reach performance. There is a pattern. In addition, the variation pattern with loss reach includes the variation pattern of normal reach production that is associated with execution of only normal reach production among normal reach production and super reach production, and super reach production that is associated with execution of super reach production. There is a deviation variation pattern.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, there is a variation pattern HP1 in the variation pattern without loss reach in the pachinko gaming machine 10 . In addition, there are fluctuation patterns HP2 and HP3 in fluctuation patterns with loss reach. The variation pattern HP2 is a deviation variation pattern of the normal reach performance, and the variation pattern HP6 is a deviation variation pattern of the super reach performance. In the pachinko game machine 10, a super ready-to-win performance is executed during execution of a special game based on the variation pattern HP3, and in the super ready-to-win performance, the first character is defeated in the confrontation between the first character and the second character. .

Also, the big hit variation patterns include variation patterns HP4 to HP6. The variation pattern HP4 is a normal reach performance jackpot variation pattern, and the variation patterns HP5 and HP6 are super reach performance jackpot variation patterns. In the pachinko game machine 10, a super ready-to-win performance is executed during the execution of the special game based on the variation pattern HP5, and the super ready-to-win performance derives the result that the first character wins the confrontation between the first character and the second character. . In the pachinko game machine 10, a super ready-to-win effect is executed during the execution of the special game based on the variation pattern HP6, and in the super ready-to-win effect, the first character is defeated in the confrontation between the first character and the second character. After that, a resurrection effect is executed.

Various processes executed by the main CPU 40a based on the control program will be described below.
First, the special symbol input processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
In the special symbol input process, the main CPU 40a determines whether a game ball has entered the first starting port 26 or the second starting port 27 based on whether the detection signal from the first starting sensor SE1 or the second starting sensor SE2 has been input. is determined (hereinafter referred to as input determination). When the determination result of the input determination is negative, the main CPU 40a terminates the special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the input determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a determines whether or not the special pending number stored in the main RWM 40c is less than the upper limit number (hereinafter referred to as pending determination). When the determination result of the suspension determination is negative, the main CPU 40a terminates the special symbol input process. Further, when the determination result of the suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a adds 1 to the special suspension number and updates it. Further, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated special pending number. In addition, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a pending number command) that can specify the updated special pending number in the output buffer. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub board 41 in subsequent interrupt processing. When the determination result of the suspension determination is affirmative, the main CPU 40a obtains random numbers generated within the main board 40, stores random number information based on the obtained random numbers in the main RWM 40c, and ends the special symbol input process. At this time, the main CPU 40a stores the random number information so as to be able to specify that it is the random number information for the special game and the storage order of the random number information. In this embodiment, by storing the random number information for the special game in the main RWM 40c, the execution of the special game is suspended until the conditions for executing the special game are met.

The random number information stored in the main RWM 40c in the special symbol input process may be the obtained random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. The random numbers acquired in the special design input process are, for example, random numbers used in the jackpot lottery (hereinafter referred to as jackpot determination random numbers), random numbers used to determine special patterns (hereinafter referred to as special symbol random numbers), and determination of the variation pattern. Random numbers to be used (hereinafter referred to as fluctuation pattern determination random numbers), random numbers used for effect lottery (hereinafter referred to as effect determination random numbers), and the like.

Next, the special symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether the conditions for executing the special game are satisfied (hereinafter referred to as execution determination). In the execution determination, the main CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the jackpot game is not in progress, the special game is not in progress, and the inter-variation interval is not in progress. On the other hand, in the execution determination, the main CPU 40a makes a negative determination when any one of the jackpot game, the special game, and the inter-variation interval is in progress. When the determination result of the execution determination is negative (when the special game execution condition is not satisfied), the main CPU 40a terminates the special symbol start process.

On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative (when the special game execution condition is satisfied), the main CPU 40a determines whether the number of special reservations stored in the main RWM 40c is 1 or more. Then, when the special pending number is not 1 or more, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a standby command that can identify the standby state, and terminates the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the special pending number is 1 or more, the main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the special pending number stored in the main RWM 40c and updates it. The main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated special pending number is displayed. Further, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a pending number command that can specify the updated special pending number.

Subsequently, the main CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the special game random number information from the main RWM 40c. When reading the first random number information, the main CPU 40a deletes the first stored random number information from the main RWM 40c. Then, the main CPU 40a conducts a jackpot lottery based on the read random number information and the jackpot determination value stored in the main ROM 40b. At least a part of the big hit determination value used for the big hit lottery is different between when it is in the variable probability state and when it is in the non-variable probability state. After finishing the jackpot lottery, the main CPU 40a determines the special symbols to be fixed and displayed in the special game and the variation pattern. Specifically, when winning the jackpot lottery, the main CPU 40a determines a jackpot symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number, and determines a jackpot variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the main CPU 40a conducts the effect lottery based on the value of the effect determination random number. When the effect lottery is won, the main CPU 40a determines a winning symbol and determines a variation pattern with a winning reach based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, when the effect lottery is not won, the main CPU 40a determines the losing pattern and determines the variation pattern without losing reach based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. After determining the special symbol and the variation pattern, the main CPU 40a outputs control information that can specify the determined special symbol (hereinafter referred to as a symbol command) and control information that can specify the variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as a variation pattern designation command ) is stored in the output buffer, and the special symbol start process is terminated.

As described above, the main CPU 40a performs a big win lottery in the special symbol start process. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 40a performs a jackpot lottery, thereby realizing a function as a winning lottery means for performing a winning lottery. Also, the main CPU 40a determines a variation pattern in the special symbol start process. In this embodiment, the main CPU 40a determines the variation pattern, thereby realizing a function as variation pattern determination means for determining the variation pattern.

Then, when the special symbol start process is finished, the main CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main CPU 40a counts the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is fixed and stopped when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has elapsed. In addition, when the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process elapses, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer an end command for finalizing and stopping the symbol combination based on the performance symbols. Further, the main CPU 40a sets an inter-variation interval (for example, 2 seconds) after the special symbol is fixed and stopped, that is, after the special game is finished. In the inter-variation interval, the special symbol that has been determined and stopped following the end of the special game continues to be determined and stopped.

Next, the jackpot processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a identifies the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main CPU 40a starts control to award the specified big win game after the big win special game ends. Specifically, the main CPU 40a starts the control of awarding the big win game after the end of the big win special game and after the inter-variation interval has passed. The main CPU 40a gives a big win game by executing a big win process. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, a jackpot game is provided after winning a jackpot.

The main CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer when the big win special game ends. Further, when the main CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer, the main CPU 40a counts the opening time. Further, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 40a performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 to open the big winning opening 29 according to the opening mode (opening pattern) set for the big win game, and starts the round game. After the round game is started, the main CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so as to close the big winning opening 29 when the first round end condition or the second round end condition is established, and ends the round game. . The main CPU 40a repeats the processing for executing the round game until the upper limit number of round games set for the jackpot game is completed. Also, the main CPU 40a stores a round command in the output buffer each time a round game is started. Further, the main CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer when the final round game ends. When the main CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer, the main CPU 40a counts the ending time. Then, when the ending time elapses, the main CPU 40a ends the jackpot game.

Next, the game state processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a specifies the game state after the end of the big win game based on the big win symbol (that is, the type of big win) determined in the special symbol start process. When the main CPU 40a specifies control to the non-probability-variable state, the main CPU 40a sets a probability state flag stored in the main RWM 40c to a value capable of specifying control to the non-probability-variable state upon completion of the jackpot game. . In addition, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a low-probability state command) that can identify the non-variable state in the output buffer. In addition, when the main CPU 40a specifies that the variable probability state is to be controlled, the main CPU 40a sets the probability state flag to a value that can be specified to control the variable probability state upon completion of the jackpot game. In addition, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a high-probability state command) that can identify the variable probability state in the output buffer.

When the main CPU 40a specifies control to the high base state, the main CPU 40a sets a base state flag to a value that can specify control to the high base state upon completion of the jackpot game. Further, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a high base state command) that can identify the high base state in the output buffer. The main CPU 40a causes the main RWM 40c to store "100 times" corresponding to the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state as the remaining number of special games controlled to the high base state. The main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the "remaining number of special games controlled to the high base state" stored in the main RWM 40c every time the special game is executed. When the "remaining number of special games to be controlled to the high base state" becomes 0, the main CPU 40a, when the "remaining number of special games to be controlled to the high base state" has become 0, the main CPU 40a controls the low A base state flag is set to a value that can be specified to control to the base state. That is, the main CPU 40a terminates the high base state and shifts to the low base state. In addition, the main CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a low base state command) that can identify the low base state in the output buffer.

It should be noted that, when a jackpot game is awarded, the main CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the non-variable probability state in the probability state flag, and sets a value that can be specified to control to the low base state to the base state. Set to flag. Further, the main CPU 40a stores the low-probability state command in the output buffer and stores the low-base state command in the output buffer.

Next, normal symbol input processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether the game ball has passed through the gate 31 (entered the game ball) based on whether the detection signal has been input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 31, the main CPU 40a terminates the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 31, the main CPU 40a determines whether the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 40c is less than the upper limit number. When the normal reserved number is not less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a terminates the normal symbol input process. When the number of normal reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main CPU 40a adds 1 to the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 40c and updates it. In this case, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated number of normal reservations. In addition, the main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a normal pending number command capable of specifying the updated normal pending number. Next, the main CPU 40a obtains random numbers generated within the main substrate 40, and stores random number information based on the obtained random numbers in the main RWM 40c. In this case, the main CPU 40a stores the random number information in such a manner that it is for the normal game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. After that, the main CPU 40a terminates the normal symbol input process.

Next, normal symbol start processing performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
The main CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal game execution conditions are satisfied. The main CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the normal winning game is not in progress and the normal game is not in progress, while making a negative determination when the normal winning game or the normal game is in progress. When the normal game execution condition is not established, the main CPU 40a terminates the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the normal game execution condition is satisfied, the main CPU 40a determines whether the normal pending number stored in the main RWM 40c is 1 or more. When the number of normal reservations is not 1 or more, the main CPU 40a terminates the normal symbol start process. When the number of normal reservations is 1 or more, the main CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the number of normal reservations stored in the main RWM 40c and updates it. Further, the main CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated number of normal reservations is displayed. The main CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a normal pending number command capable of specifying the updated normal pending number. Next, the main CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the normal game from the main RWM 40c. When reading the first random number information, the main CPU 40a deletes the first stored random number information from the main RWM 40c. Subsequently, the main CPU 40a performs a normal winning lottery based on the read random number information and the normal winning determination value stored in the main ROM 40b. Then, the main CPU 40a determines the normal symbols to be fixed-stop-displayed in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game based on the lottery result of the normal winning lottery. After that, the main CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

Then, the main CPU 40a executes a normal game by performing processing different from the normal symbol start processing. Specifically, the main CPU 40a starts the normal game, and when the fluctuation time determined in the normal symbol start process has passed, the main CPU 40a displays information so that the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is fixed and stopped. Control panel 22; In addition, the main CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information that can specify that the execution of the normal game is to be started when the execution of the normal game is started.

Next, the normal winning process performed by the main CPU 40a will be described.
When the normal winning lottery is won, the main CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 27 when the normal game ends, and the first actuator opens the second starting port 27 according to the opening pattern. Control A1. In the present embodiment, it is easier to win the normal winning lottery when in the high base state than in the low base state. The pachinko game machine 10 is configured to be able to win the normal winning lottery even when it is in the low base state, and when winning the normal winning lottery, the first variable member 28 is opened. Become. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is more difficult for a game ball to enter the second start port 27 in the low base state than in the high base state, but the game ball enters the second start port 27. It is possible to ball.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 41a based on the control program will be described.
When receiving the low-probability state command, the secondary CPU 41a sets the probability state flag stored in the secondary RWM 41c to a value that can identify the non-variable state. When the high-probability state command is input, the secondary CPU 41a sets a probability state flag stored in the secondary RWM 41c to a value that can identify the variable probability state. The secondary CPU 41a can identify whether the probability state is changed by referring to the probability state flag of the secondary RWM 41c. Further, when receiving the low base state command, the sub CPU 41a sets the base state flag stored in the sub RWM 41c to a value that can identify the low base state. When the high base state command is input, the sub CPU 41a sets the base state flag stored in the sub RWM 41c to a value that can identify the high base state. The secondary CPU 41a can identify the high base state by referring to the base state flag of the secondary RWM 41c.

The sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the big win effect is performed during the big win game. Specifically, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the opening effect is performed. Further, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the round command, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the round effect is performed. Further, when the sub CPU 41a inputs the ending command, the sub CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed. The performance contents of the big win performance may be varied according to the type of the big win.

The secondary CPU 41a also controls the effect display device 25 so that the effect game is played. Specifically, when a symbol command and a variation pattern designation command are input, the sub CPU 41a performs control to execute the effect game. The secondary CPU 41a determines a symbol combination of effect symbols to be finally fixed and displayed in the effect game based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. When the sub-CPU 41a specifies a big-hit symbol from the input symbol command, it determines a big-hit symbol combination based on the performance symbols. When the secondary CPU 41a specifies a missing symbol from the input symbol command, the secondary CPU 41a determines a missing symbol combination based on the effect symbol. For example, when the sub CPU 41a specifies a variation pattern with reach from the input variation pattern designation command, it determines a symbol combination that does not include reach. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 41a specifies the non-reach variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, it determines the missing symbol combination that does not include the reach.

Further, when the sub-CPU 41a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to variably display the effect symbols. That is, the sub CPU 41a starts the effect game. Then, the sub CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the determined performance symbols at a predetermined timing. After that, the secondary CPU 41a, with the input of the end command as a trigger, determines and stops displaying the symbol combination of the production symbols. Note that the sub CPU 41a may measure a variation time that can be specified from the variation pattern, regardless of the end command, and cause the symbol combination to be fixed and stopped when the variation time elapses. In this case, the end command may be omitted.

An effect that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a comment notice effect as a specific operation effect. The comment notice effect is an effect that can be executed during execution of the special game, and is executed within a period from the start of execution of the special game to the temporary stop display of the effect symbols in the first row in the effect game. be.

There are multiple types of results of the comment notice effect. Then, there are a plurality of types of results with different degrees of expectation for advantageous development in the result of the comment advance notice effect. For example, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation for winning a big win, that is, the degree of expectation for a big win differs depending on the result of the comment notice effect. As described above, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of results with different degrees of expectation for advantageous development as the result of the specific operation effect. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, if the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect and the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect ends, the result of the comment notice effect is not derived. The comment notice performance ends. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is not operated in the comment notice effect and the time required for the operation valid period relating to the comment notice effect has passed, the result of the comment notice effect is not derived, and the comment notice effect is not derived. ends.

Further, when the comment advance notice effect is executed, an operation prompting effect is executed in which an operation prompting display for prompting the operation of the first button BT1 as the operating means is performed. Thus, in this embodiment, when the specific operation effect is executed, the operation promotion effect can be executed. In the comment notice effect, an operation prompting display is performed within the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect. Incidentally, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect, the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect ends, and the operation promotion effect ends. As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect, the operation promotion effect is terminated with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the operation prompting effect ends with the operation of the operation means as a trigger. Further, as described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect, the operation of the first button BT1 triggers the comment notice effect. A result is derived. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the operating means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the result of the specific operation effect is derived with the operation of the operating means as a trigger, and the operation is performed. The promotion performance ends. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect, and the time required for the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect has passed, with the passage of the time as a trigger, The operation prompting presentation ends. That is, in the present embodiment, if a predetermined period of time elapses without the operating means being operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the operation prompting is triggered by the elapse of the predetermined period of time. The performance ends. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect includes an operation promoting effect.

As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), there are a plurality of types of operation-promoting display performed in the comment announcement effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the operation prompting display performed in the comment notice effect includes an operation prompting display in which a blue button image Bb imitating the blue first button BT1 is displayed on the effect display device 25. be. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the blue button image Bb is displayed, an image including text information of “PUSH” is displayed on the effect display device 25 . Hereinafter, the operation prompting display in which the blue button image Bb is displayed may be referred to as "blue button operation prompting display". Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the operation promotion display performed in the comment notice effect, a red button image Br imitating the red first button BT1 is displayed on the effect display device 25 to promote the operation. There is a display. Further, in this embodiment, when the red button image Br is displayed, an image including character information of “PUSH” is displayed on the effect display device 25 . Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the red button image Br is displayed, the effect display device 25 displays a character image CH imitating a character holding a sword. Hereinafter, the operation prompting display in which the red button image Br is displayed may be referred to as "red button operation prompting display". In this embodiment, the blue button operation prompting display corresponds to the first operation prompting display, and the red button operation prompting display corresponds to the second operation prompting display. Thus, in this embodiment, the operation prompting display includes the first operation prompting display and the second operation prompting display. In the pachinko game machine 10, the operation button that is urged to operate when the blue button operation prompting display is performed is the first button BT1, and the operation button that is urged to be operated when the red button operation prompting display is performed is the second button. 1 button BT1. That is, in the present embodiment, the operation means whose operation is prompted in the first operation prompting display is the same as the operation means whose operation is prompted in the second operation prompting display. When the red button operation prompting display is performed, the number of displayed images is larger than when the blue button operation prompting display is performed.

Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the blue button operation promotion display is performed, the button light emitter BT1a emits blue light. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the red button operation promotion display is performed, the button light emitter BT1a emits red light. As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the blue button operation prompting display is performed, the light emission mode of the button light emitter BT1a incorporated in the first button BT1 is changed to the light emission mode when the red button operation prompting display is performed. This is different from the lighting mode of the button light emitter BT1a built into the 1-button BT1. That is, in the present embodiment, the lighting mode of the light-emitting body incorporated in the specific operation means when the first operation prompting display is performed is the same as the lighting mode of the light emitter built in the specific operation means when the second operation prompting display is performed. It differs from the light emitting mode of the light emitter.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5(c) and 5(d), there are a plurality of modes (start modes) when execution of the operation prompting effect is started in the comment notice effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 5C, there is a start mode in which a blue effect image Eb is displayed on the effect display device 25 as a start mode of the operation promotion effect in the comment notice effect. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5D, there is a start mode in which a red effect image Er is displayed on the effect display device 25 as a start mode of the operation promotion effect in the comment notice effect. Hereinafter, the start mode in which the blue effect image Eb is displayed may be referred to as the "blue effect start mode", and the start mode in which the red effect image Er is displayed may be referred to as the "red effect start mode". Note that when the operation promoting effect is started in the blue effect start mode (during the display of the blue effect image Eb), and when the operation promoting effect is started in the red effect start mode (the red effect image Er is displayed). During display), when the first button BT1 is operated, the result of the comment advance notice effect is not derived with the operation as a trigger.

On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the operation prompting effect is started in the blue effect start mode, the speaker 18 outputs a red start sound (for example, a "bang" sound). As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, the sound output from the speaker 18 when the operation promotion presentation starts in the blue effect start mode in the comment notice presentation is the same as the operation promotion presentation started in the red effect start mode in the comment notice presentation. It is different from the sound output from the speaker 18 when

Further, there are a plurality of modes (termination modes) in which execution of the operation prompting effect ends in the comment announcement effect. For example, as an end mode of the operation promotion effect in the comment notice effect, there is an end mode in which the image related to the operation promotion effect is gradually erased over a predetermined fade time. Hereinafter, the end mode in which the image related to the operation prompting effect is gradually erased over a predetermined fade time may be referred to as "fade end mode". Further, for example, as an ending mode of the operation promoting effect in the comment notice effect, there is an ending mode in which the image related to the operation promoting effect is erased without taking a predetermined fade time. Hereinafter, the end mode in which the image related to the operation prompting effect is erased without taking a predetermined fade time may be referred to as the "immediate end mode".

In addition, for example, as shown in FIGS. 5(e) and 5(f), in the ending mode of the operation promotion effect in the comment notice effect, the character indicated by the character image CH cuts the red button image Br with a sword. After performing, there is an end mode in which the first button BT1 indicated by the red button image Br is destroyed, and then the image related to the operation promotion effect is erased. At this time, the image including the character information of "PUSH" indicates that the character indicated by the character image CH cuts the red button image Br with a sword, that is, that the first button BT1 has been operated. Triggered by this, it is erased without taking a predetermined fade time. After that, after the character indicated by the character image CH performs an action of cutting the red button image Br with a sword, the first button BT1 indicated by the red button image Br is destroyed, and then the image related to the operation promoting effect is erased. The mode may be indicated as "breaking operation end mode".

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect, the operation promotion effect ends in the fade end mode. At this time, the image related to the operation promotion effect when the blue button operation promotion display is performed is an image including the blue button image Bb and the character information of "PUSH". On the other hand, when the red button operation prompting display is performed, the images related to the operation prompting effect are the red button image Br, the image including the character information of "PUSH", and the character image CH. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect, and when the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, the immediate termination mode is performed. , the operation prompting effect ends. At this time, the image related to the operation promotion effect is an image including the blue button image Bb and the character information of "PUSH". Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect, and when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, the destruction operation ends. In this mode, the operation prompting presentation ends. At this time, since the image including the character information of "PUSH" has already been erased, the image related to the operation promotion effect that is erased after the first button BT1 is destroyed, indicated by the red button image Br, is the red button image. Br and character image CH.

As described above, the start mode when the operation prompting effect in which the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the comment advance notice effect is started is the blue effect start mode. On the other hand, the start mode when the operation prompting effect in which the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment advance notice effect is started is the red effect start mode. That is, in the present embodiment, the start mode when the operation prompting effect in which the first operation prompting display is performed in the specific operation effect is started is when the operation prompting effect in which the second operation prompting display is performed in the specific operation effect is started. different from the start mode of

In addition, when the blue button operation prompting display is being performed in the comment advance notice effect and the first button BT1 is operated, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends is an immediate end mode. On the other hand, when the first button BT1 is not operated while the blue button operation promotion display is being performed in the comment notice effect, the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect ends and the operation promotion effect ends. , fade end mode. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation prompting effect ends when the operating means is operated while the first operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the end mode of the operation promoting effect is the second in the specific operation effect. This is different from the end mode when the operation prompting presentation ends with the passage of time as a trigger without operating the operating means while the 1-operation prompting display is being performed. Further, the end mode when the operation prompting effect is terminated by operating the first button BT1 while the red button operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect is the destruction action ending mode. On the other hand, when the first button BT1 is not operated while the red button operation promotion display is being performed in the comment notice effect, the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect ends and the operation promotion effect ends. , fade end mode. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation prompting effect ends when the operating means is operated while the second operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the ending mode of the operation promoting effect is the second in the specific operation effect. 2. This is different from the end mode when the operation prompting presentation ends with the passage of time as the operating means is not operated while the operation prompting display is being performed.

In addition, when the blue button operation prompting display is being performed in the comment advance notice effect and the first button BT1 is operated, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends is an immediate end mode. On the other hand, when the red button operation prompting display is being performed in the comment advance notice effect and the operation promoting effect is ended triggered by the operation of the first button BT1, the ending mode is the destruction action ending mode. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation prompting effect ends when the operating means is operated while the first operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the end mode of the operation promoting effect is the second in the specific operation effect. 2. This is different from the end mode when the operation prompting presentation is terminated with the trigger that the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed. Further, when the operation prompting effect is terminated by the operation of the first button BT1 while the operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, the ending mode is an immediate end mode or a destructive action ending mode. . On the other hand, when the first button BT1 is not operated while the button operation promotion display is being performed in the comment notice effect, the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect ends and the operation promotion effect ends, It becomes a fade end mode. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation prompting effect is terminated when the operating means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the end mode of the operation prompting effect is the operation prompting display in the specific operation effect. It is different from the end mode when the operation prompting presentation is ended with the lapse of a predetermined time without the operation means being operated when is being performed.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, the first button BT1 is operated more than when the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect. There is a high expectation that the result of the comment notice effect derived with the fact that it was done will be a result with a high degree of expectation for a big hit. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second operation prompting display is performed in the specific operation effect, the operating means is operated more than when the first operation prompting display is performed in the specific operation effect. There is a high degree of expectation that the result of the specific operation effect derived with this as a trigger will be developed advantageously.

An effect that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes an appearance effect as a non-specific operation effect. The appearance effect is an effect that can be executed during execution of the special game, and is executed within a period from the start of execution of the special game to the temporary stop display of the effect symbols in the first row in the effect game. . Both the comment notice effect and the appearance effect may be executed during the period from when the execution of the special game is started until the effect symbol in the first row is temporarily stopped and displayed in the effect game, Either one of the comment notice effect and the appearance effect may be configured to be executable at most once.

As shown in FIG. 6( a ), when the appearance effect is executed, the effect display device 25 displays a human figure image Sa simulating a human figure. Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the appearance effect is executed and the second button BT2 is operated within the operation effective period related to the appearance effect, the character is displayed on the effect display device 25, and the result of the appearance effect is derived. There are multiple types of appearance effects. In addition, there are a plurality of types of results with different degrees of expectation for advantageous developments in the results of the appearance effect. For example, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation for winning a big win, that is, the degree of expectation for a big win differs depending on the result of the appearance effect. In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, if the second button BT2 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the appearance effect and the operation valid period related to the appearance effect ends, the result of the appearance effect is not derived, and the appearance effect is not executed. finish. That is, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the second button BT2 is not operated in the appearance effect and the time required for the operation effective period related to the appearance effect elapses, the result of the appearance effect is not derived and the appearance effect ends.

Further, when the appearance effect is executed, an operation prompting effect is executed in which an operation prompting display prompting the operation of the second button BT2 as the operation means is performed. Thus, in this embodiment, when the non-specific operation effect is executed, the operation promotion effect can be executed. In the appearance effect, an operation prompting display is performed within the operation effective period related to the appearance effect. Incidentally, when the second button BT2 is operated within the operation valid period related to the appearance effect, the operation valid period related to the appearance effect ends, and the operation promotion effect ends. As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the second button BT2 is operated within the operation effective period related to the appearance effect, the operation promotion effect ends with the operation of the second button BT2 as a trigger. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the non-specific operation effect, the operation prompting effect ends with the operation of the operation means as a trigger. Further, as described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the second button BT2 is operated within the operation valid period related to the appearance effect, the result of the appearance effect is triggered by the operation of the second button BT2. derived. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the non-specific operation effect, the result of the non-specific operation effect is derived with the operation of the operation means as a trigger. , the operation prompting effect ends. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, if the second button BT2 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the appearance effect, and the time required for the operation valid period related to the appearance effect has passed, the operation is prompted with the passage of the time. The performance ends. That is, in the present embodiment, if a predetermined time elapses without the operating means being operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the non-specific operation effect, the operation is triggered by the elapse of the predetermined time. The promotion performance ends. The length of the operation valid period related to the appearance effect may be the same as or different from the length of the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect.

As shown in FIG. 6A, when the appearance effect is executed, a special button image Bx imitating the second button BT2 is displayed on the effect display device 25, and an operation prompting display is performed. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the special button image Bx is displayed, the effect display device 25 displays an image including text information of "Press the second button".

At this time, the image related to the operation prompting effect is an image including the special button image Bx and the character information of "Press the second button".

As described above, the start mode when the operation prompting effect in which the operation prompting display is performed in the appearance effect is started is the special effect start mode. On the other hand, the start mode when the operation prompting effect in which the operation prompting display is performed in the comment announcement effect starts is the blue effect start mode or the red effect start mode. That is, in the present embodiment, the start mode when the operation promoting effect starts in the specific operation effect is different from the start mode when the operation promoting effect starts in the non-specific operation effect.

Further, when the second button BT2 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the appearance effect, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends is the smoke end mode. On the other hand, when the second button BT2 is not operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the appearance effect and the operation valid period related to the appearance effect ends and the operation prompting effect ends, the end mode is the fade end mode. becomes. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation prompting effect ends when the operating means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the non-specific operation effect, the end mode of the operation promoting effect is the operation in the non-specific operation effect. This is different from the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends with the elapse of time as the operating means is not operated while the prompting display is being performed.

Further, when the second button BT2 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the appearance effect, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends is the smoke end mode. On the other hand, when the first button BT1 is operated while the operation promoting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, the ending mode when the operation promoting effect ends is the immediate ending mode or the destructive action ending mode. . That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation prompting effect ends when the operating means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the specific operation effect, the end mode of the operation promoting effect ends in the operation promoting effect in the non-specific operation effect. This is different from the end mode when the operation prompting effect is ended triggered by the operation of the operation means while the display is being performed.

An effect that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a reach-in-reach operation effect as a special operation effect. The in-reach operation effect is an effect that can be executed during execution of the special game, and is executed within a period during which the super ready-to-win effect is being executed.

As described above, the super ready-to-win effect of the present embodiment is developed in such a manner that the main character, the first character, and the enemy, the second character, confront each other. Then, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation effective period related to the during-reach operation effect, the result of the during-reach operation effect is derived. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the in-ready operation effect and the time required for the operation valid period related to the in-ready operation effect elapses, the passage of the time is triggered. , the result of the operation effect during reach is derived. The result of the reach-in operation effect includes "result that the first character wins in the confrontation between the first character and the second character" or "result that the first character loses in the confrontation between the first character and the second character". . Then, ``the result of the first character winning in the confrontation between the first character and the second character (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as the victory result)'' can be derived only when the jackpot is won. . In addition, "the result of the defeat of the first character in the confrontation between the first character and the second character (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as the result of defeat)" is when the jackpot is won and when the jackpot is not won. It can be derived at any time. In this embodiment, the winning result corresponds to a special result derived only when the big win is won, and the loss result is either when the big win is won or when the big win is not won. It corresponds to a non-special result that is derived even if there is. As described above, in the present embodiment, the results of the special operation effect include the special result derived only when the big win is won, and the results when the big win is won and when the big win is not won. There are non-special results that are derived no matter what. In the present embodiment, the result of the in-reach operation effect can be regarded as the result of the super ready-to-win effect, and the super ready-to-win effect including the in-reach operation effect can be regarded as the special operation effect.

When the in-reach operation effect is executed at a predetermined timing in the super ready-to-win effect, the operation promoting effect is executed. Thus, in this embodiment, when the special operation effect is executed, the operation promotion effect can be executed. In the ready-to-reach operation effect, an operation prompting display is performed within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect. Incidentally, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect ends, and the operation promotion effect ends. As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation effective period related to the in-ready operation effect, the operation promotion effect ends with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger. . That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the special operation effect, the operation prompting effect ends with the operation of the operation means as a trigger. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation effective period related to the during-reach operation effect, the result of the during-reach operation effect is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger. be done. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the operating means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the special operation effect, the result of the special operation effect is derived with the operation of the operating means as a trigger, and the operation is performed. The promotion performance ends. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, if the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the in-ready operation effect, and the time required for the operation valid period related to the in-ready operation effect elapses, the time elapse is triggered. As a result, the operation prompting effect ends. That is, in the present embodiment, if a predetermined period of time elapses without the operating means being operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the special operation effect, the operation prompting is triggered by the passage of the predetermined period of time. The performance ends. Further, in the pachinko game machine 10, if the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the in-ready operation effect, and the time required for the operation valid period related to the in-ready operation effect elapses, the time elapse is triggered. , the result of the operation effect during reach is derived. Therefore, in the present embodiment, if a predetermined time elapses without the operating means being operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the special operation effect, the special operation effect is triggered by the elapse of the predetermined time. is derived, and the operation prompting effect ends.

As shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), there are a plurality of types of operation prompting displays performed in the in-reach operation presentation.

On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the red button operation promotion display is performed, the button light emitter BT1a emits red light. As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the blue button operation prompting display is performed, the light emission mode of the button light emitter BT1a incorporated in the first button BT1 is changed to the light emission mode when the red button operation prompting display is performed. This is different from the lighting mode of the button light emitter BT1a built into the 1-button BT1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7(c) and 7(d), there are a plurality of modes (start modes) when execution of the operation promotion effect is started in the in-reach operation effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 7(c), there is a blue effect start mode in the start mode of the operation promotion effect in the in-reach operation effect. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7(d), there is a red effect start mode in the start mode of the operation promotion effect in the in-reach operation effect.

In the pachinko game machine 10, when the ready-to-win operation performance is executed and the blue button operation prompting display is performed at a later timing, the operation prompting performance is started in the blue effect start mode. On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the ready-to-win operation effect is executed and the red button operation prompting display is performed at a later timing, the operation prompting effect is started in the red effect start mode. In this embodiment, the blue effect start mode corresponds to the first start mode, and the red effect start mode corresponds to the second start mode. Thus, in this embodiment, there are a first start mode and a second start mode as start modes. Note that when the operation promotion effect is started in the blue effect start mode (during the display of the blue effect image Eb), and when the operation promotion effect is started in the red effect start mode (the red effect image Er is displayed). During display), when the first button BT1 is operated, the result of the in-reach operation effect is not derived with the operation as a trigger.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the operation prompting effect is started in the blue effect start mode, the speaker 18 outputs a blue start sound (for example, a "beep" sound). On the other hand, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the operation prompting effect is started in the blue effect start mode, the speaker 18 outputs a red start sound (for example, a "bang" sound). As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, the sound output from the speaker 18 when the operation promotion presentation starts in the blue effect start mode in the ready-to-win operation presentation is the operation promotion presentation in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-win operation presentation. is different from the sound output from the speaker 18 when is started. That is, in the present embodiment, the sound output from the sound output means when the operation promotion effect starts in the first start mode in the special operation effect is the same as when the operation promotion effect starts in the second start mode in the special operation effect. different from the sound output from the sound output means at the time.

Further, there are a plurality of modes (termination modes) in which the execution of the operation prompting effect ends in the in-reach operation effect. For example, there is an immediate end mode in the end mode of the operation promotion effect in the in-reach operation effect. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7(e), an image simulating the first button BT1 displayed as the blue button image Bb or the red button image Br is displayed in the end state of the operation promotion effect in the in-reach operation effect. is displayed in monochrome, and then the image simulating the first button BT1 is erased after being faded in a predetermined manner.

Compared to the time when is finished, the degree of expectation for temporary stop display of the big hit symbol by the effect symbol is high in the effect game. As described above, in the present embodiment, when a non-special result is derived in the special operation effect triggered by the operation of the operation means, when the operation promotion effect ends in the second end mode, the operation is promoted in the first end mode. Compared to the time when the effect is finished, the degree of expectation for finally deriving the big win result in the effect game is high.

Here, control related to execution of various effects will be described.
First, the control related to the comment notice effect as the specific operation effect will be described.
When the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub CPU 41a performs an execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the comment announcement effect. The probability that execution of the comment advance notice effect is determined in the execution lottery relating to this comment advance notice effect may vary depending on the type of the determined variation pattern. Then, when it is not decided to execute the comment advance notice effect in the execution lottery relating to the comment advance notice effect, the sub CPU 41a does not cause the comment advance notice effect to be executed. On the other hand, when it is decided to execute the comment advance notice effect in the execution lottery relating to the comment advance notice effect, the sub CPU 41a causes the comment notice effect to be executed.

When executing the comment advance notice effect, the secondary CPU 41a determines the type of operation promotion display in the comment advance notice effect. At this time, when the big hit variation pattern is specified, the sub CPU 41a can more easily determine the red button operation promotion display than when the losing variation pattern is specified. Thereby, when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment announcement effect, the degree of expectation for the big win can be made higher than when the blue button operation prompting display is performed.

Also, when executing the comment announcement effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the dialogue frame image SG. Then, when it is decided to perform the blue button operation prompting display in the comment advance notice effect, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the operation prompting effect in the blue effect start mode. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 so as to output the blue start tone. After that, the secondary CPU 41a performs the blue button operation promotion display until the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect elapses or until the first button BT1 is operated before the operation effective period elapses. It controls the display device 25 . Further, while the blue button operation prompting display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the button light emitter BT1a to emit blue light.

Similarly, when it is decided to perform the red button operation promotion display in the comment advance notice production, the sub CPU 41a controls the production display device 25 so as to start the operation promotion production in the red effect start mode. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 to output the red start sound. After that, the secondary CPU 41a performs the red button operation promotion display until the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect elapses or until the first button BT1 is operated before the operation effective period elapses. It controls the display device 25 . Further, while the red button operation prompting display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the button light emitter BT1a to emit red light.

Further, when the detection signal from the first button BT1 is input within the operation valid period (while the operation prompting display is being performed) related to the comment notice effect, the secondary CPU 41a displays the effect so that the operation prompting effect ends. Control the device 25 . Specifically, when the blue button operation prompting display is being performed, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation prompting effect ends in an immediate end mode. On the other hand, when the red button operation promotion display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation promotion effect ends in the destructive action end mode. Thus, in the pachinko game machine 10, the control for ending the operation prompting effect differs depending on the operation prompting display performed in the comment notice effect.

Further, when the detection signal from the first button BT1 is input within the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the result to be derived in the comment notice effect. At this time, the secondary CPU 41a determines the result of the comment advance notice effect based on the type of operation prompting display and the type of variation pattern. In this embodiment, in a situation where the same variation pattern is specified, the secondary CPU 41a expects a big hit when the red button operation prompting display is performed, compared to when the blue button operation prompting display is performed. It is easier to determine the results that have a high degree of probability (results that have a high expectation of being deployed favorably). As a result, when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, the operation of the first button BT1 is triggered more than when the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect. can be configured so that the result of the comment advance notice effect derived as is high in the expectation that the expectation for the big hit is high. In addition, in the situation where the blue button operation prompting display is performed, the secondary CPU 41a, when the big hit variation pattern is specified, produces a result with a higher degree of expectation for the big win than when the loss variation pattern is specified. easy to decide. Similarly, in the situation where the red button operation promotion display is being performed, the secondary CPU 41a has a higher expectation for the big hit when the big hit variation pattern is specified than when the losing variation pattern is specified. is easy to determine. Therefore, even when either the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display is being performed, it is possible to guess whether the degree of expectation for the big win is high or low from the result of the comment announcement effect.

When a detection signal is input from the first button BT1 within the operation effective period related to the comment notice effect, the secondary CPU 41a displays text information corresponding to the result of the determined comment notice effect on the serif frame image SG, and the comment notice is displayed. A performance display device 25 is controlled so as to derive the result of performance. After deriving the result of the comment notice effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the comment notice effect is terminated by erasing the serif frame image SG when the comment notice effect ends.

On the other hand, if the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect ends without inputting the detection signal from the first button BT1 within the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect, the sub CPU 41a causes the operation promotion effect to end. The performance display device 25 is controlled. Specifically, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation promoting effect ends in the fade end mode. At this time, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation prompting effect ends in the fade end mode even when either the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display is being performed. .

Next, the control related to the appearance effect as the non-specific operation effect will be described.
When the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub CPU 41a performs an execution lottery for determining whether to execute the appearance effect. The probability of execution of the appearance effect in the execution lottery for the appearance effect may vary depending on the type of the determined variation pattern. Then, when it is not decided to execute the appearance effect in the execution lottery relating to the appearance effect, the secondary CPU 41a does not cause the appearance effect to be executed. On the other hand, when it is determined to execute the appearance effect in the execution lottery relating to the appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a causes the appearance effect to be executed. When executing the appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to display the figure image Sa. Then, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the operation promotion effect in the special effect start mode. At this time, the secondary CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 to output a special start sound. After that, the secondary CPU 41a displays a special button operation prompting display until the operation effective period related to the appearance effect elapses or until the second button BT2 is operated before the operation effective period elapses. Control the device 25 .

Further, when the detection signal from the second button BT2 is input within the operation effective period related to the appearance effect (while the operation prompting display is being performed), the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device so that the operation prompting effect ends. 25. Specifically, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation promotion effect ends in the smoke end mode.

Further, when the detection signal from the second button BT2 is input within the operation effective period related to the appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the result to be derived in the appearance effect. At this time, the secondary CPU 41a determines the result of the appearance effect based on the type of variation pattern. In the present embodiment, when the jackpot variation pattern is specified, the secondary CPU 41a has a higher expectation of the jackpot than when the loss variation pattern is specified. result) is easy to determine. When the detection signal is input from the second button BT2 within the operation effective period related to the appearance effect, the secondary CPU 41a displays the appearance image Sb according to the determined result of the appearance effect, and derives the result of the appearance effect. , the effect display device 25 is controlled. After deriving the result of the appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the appearance image Sb is erased and the appearance effect ends when the appearance effect ends.

On the other hand, if the operation effective period related to the appearance effect ends without inputting the detection signal from the second button BT2 within the operation effective period related to the appearance effect, the sub CPU 41a displays a effect so that the operation promotion effect ends. Control the device 25 . Specifically, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation prompting effect ends in the fade end mode.

Next, the control related to the in-reach operation effect as the special operation effect will be described.
When any one of the variation patterns HP3, HP5, and HP6 associated with the execution of the super ready-to-win effect is specified by the variation pattern specification command, the secondary CPU 41a, at a predetermined timing during the execution of the super ready-to-win effect , to execute the operation effect during the reach.

When executing the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the type of operation prompting display in the in-reach operation effect. At this time, when the variation patterns HP5 and HP6 as the big hit variation patterns are designated, the sub CPU 41a determines the red button operation promotion display compared to the case where the variation pattern HP3 as the losing variation pattern is designated. easy to do In particular, when the variation pattern HP6 is specified, the sub CPU 41a is more likely to determine the red button operation promotion display than when the variation pattern HP3, which is the losing variation pattern, is specified. During execution of the special game based on the variation pattern HP6, a super ready-to-win effect is executed, and in the super ready-to-win effect, the first character is defeated in the confrontation between the first character and the second character, and then a resurrection effect. is executed, and finally the big hit pattern by the effect pattern is fixed and displayed. During the execution of the special game based on the variation pattern HP3, the super ready-to-win effect is executed, and in the super ready-to-win effect, the first character is defeated in the confrontation between the first character and the second character, and then the resurrection effect is executed. Ultimately, the winning design due to the effect design is fixed and stopped. As a result, when the defeat result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation effect as a trigger, when the operation promotion effect ends in the crack end mode, when the operation promotion effect ends in the monochrome end mode On the other hand, it can be constructed so that the degree of expectation for the final stop-and-display of the big-hit symbols based on the performance symbols in the performance game is high.

In addition, when the variation pattern HP5 is specified, the sub CPU 41a is more likely to determine the red button operation promotion display than when the variation pattern HP6 is specified. Thus, in the ready-to-win operation effect, when the red button operation prompting display is performed, the victory is triggered by the operation of the first button BT1 compared to the case where the blue button operation prompting display is performed. It can be configured so that the expectation that the result is derived is high. Then, in the ready-to-win operation presentation, when the red button operation prompting display is performed, compared with the case where the blue button operation prompting display is performed, the degree of expectation for the big win can be made higher. As a result, when the operation promotion performance is started in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation performance, the expectation for the big win is higher than when the operation promotion performance is started in the blue effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation performance. can be configured to As described above, as a result, by making the jackpot expectation degree when the red button operation prompting display is performed higher than the jackpot expectation degree when the blue button operation prompting display is performed, When the defeat result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger, when the operation promoting effect ends in the crack end mode, compared to when the operation promoting effect ends in the monochrome end mode, in the effect game It can also be said that it can be constructed so that the degree of expectation for the temporary stop display of the big hit symbol by the performance symbol is finally increased.

When it is decided to perform the blue button operation prompting display in the ready-to-reach operation effect, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the operation prompting effect in the blue effect start mode. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 so as to output the blue start sound. After that, the secondary CPU 41a displays the blue button operation prompting display until the operation effective period related to the in-reach operation effect elapses or until the first button BT1 is operated before the operation effective period elapses. The performance display device 25 is controlled. Further, while the blue button operation prompting display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the button light emitter BT1a to emit blue light. Similarly, when it is determined to perform the red button operation promotion display in the in-reach operation presentation, the sub CPU 41a controls the presentation display device 25 to start the operation promotion presentation in the red effect start mode. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 to output the red start tone. After that, the sub CPU 41a displays the red button operation prompting display until the operation effective period related to the in-reach operation effect elapses or until the first button BT1 is operated before the operation effective period elapses. The performance display device 25 is controlled. Further, while the red button operation prompting display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the button light emitter BT1a to emit red light.

Further, when the detection signal from the first button BT1 is input within the operation valid period (when the operation prompting display is being performed) related to the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a performs the effect so that the operation prompting effect ends. It controls the display device 25 . Specifically, when the blue button operation prompting display is being performed and the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the sub CPU 41a displays the operation prompting effect in the monochrome end mode. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to end. Further, when the red button operation prompting display is being performed and the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the secondary CPU 41a ends the operation prompting presentation in the crack end mode. The effect display device 25 is controlled as follows. As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, when the special game based on either of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the operation promotion presentation is terminated in accordance with the operation promotion display performed in the ready-to-win operation presentation. Control is different. Furthermore, when the special game based on either of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to derive a defeat result. Then, when the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to temporarily stop and display the lost symbols due to the effect symbols. After deriving the result of the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to erase the result of the in-reach operation effect when the super ready-to-win effect ends.

However, when a special game based on any of the variation patterns HP6 is being executed, after the super ready-to-win effect is completed (after deriving the defeat result and temporarily stopping and displaying the lost symbols according to the effect symbols), the sub CPU 41a A performance display device 25 is controlled to execute a resurrection performance. As a result, the pattern combination of the temporarily stopped and displayed performance symbols is changed from the losing pattern of the performance symbols to the big hit symbol, and finally the big win pattern of the performance symbols is fixed and displayed. On the other hand, during the execution of the special game based on the variation pattern HP3, since the resurrection performance is not executed after the end of the super ready-to-win performance, the lost symbols by the performance symbols temporarily stopped and displayed are fixed and stopped as they are.

Further, when the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation promotion effect ends in the monochrome end mode. At this time, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation prompting effect ends in the monochrome end mode even when either the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display is being performed. . As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the control to terminate the operation promotion effect is common regardless of the operation promotion display performed in the operation promotion display during reach. there is Furthermore, when the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to derive the winning result. Then, when the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to temporarily stop and display the big hit symbol by the effect symbol.

Further, when the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect ends without inputting the detection signal from the first button BT1 within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a terminates the operation promotion effect. The effect display device 25 is controlled as follows. Specifically, when the blue button operation prompting display is being performed and the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the secondary CPU 41a displays the operation prompting effect in the monochrome end mode. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to end. Further, when the red button operation prompting display is being performed and the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the secondary CPU 41a ends the operation prompting presentation in the crack end mode. The effect display device 25 is controlled as follows. Furthermore, when the special game based on either of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to derive the result of defeat. Then, when the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to temporarily stop and display the lost symbols due to the effect symbols. However, when the special game based on any of the variation patterns HP6 is being executed, after the super ready-to-win effect is completed (after deriving the defeat result and temporarily stopping and displaying the lost symbols according to the effect symbols), the sub CPU 41a A performance display device 25 is controlled to execute a resurrection performance. Further, when the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation promoting effect ends in the monochrome end mode. At this time, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation prompting effect ends in the monochrome end mode regardless of whether the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display is being performed. . Further, when the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to derive the winning result. Then, when the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to temporarily stop and display the big hit symbol by the effect symbol.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the secondary CPU 41a controls the decorative lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 as the effect execution means, thereby realizing the function as effect control means for controlling the effect execution means. be. Further, in the present embodiment, the auxiliary CPU 41a controls the decoration lamp 17 as the light emitting means, thereby realizing the function of light emission control means for controlling the light emitting means. In this embodiment, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 as the sound output means, thereby realizing the function as sound output control means for controlling the sound output means. In this embodiment, the effect display device 25 as the display means is controlled by the sub CPU 41a, thereby realizing a function as display control means for controlling the display means.

An image containing information and a character image CH are displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 8(f), when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect, the character indicated by the character image CH performs an action of cutting the red button image Br with a sword. After that, the first button BT1 indicated by the red button image Br is destroyed, and the operation prompting effect is terminated in the destruction action end mode. Then, as shown in FIG. 8(g), character information (in FIG. 8(g), character information indicating "approaching big win") is displayed in the serif frame image SG, and the result of the comment notice effect is derived. .

Next, based on FIGS. 9(a) to 9(g), the display contents of the effect display device 25 when the in-reach operation effect is executed will be described.
As shown in FIG. 9A, when the in-reach operation effect is executed and the operation promotion effect is started in the blue effect start mode, the effect display device 25 displays a blue effect image Eb. Is displayed. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, it can be inferred that the blue button operation prompting display will be performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 9(b), after the blue effect image Eb is displayed, the effect display device 25 displays the blue button image Bb and "PUSH" during the operation effective period related to the in-reach operation effect. An image containing text information is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 9(c), if the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the operation prompting presentation ends in the monochrome end mode, and the result of defeat is derived. At this time, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, and when the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, and the operation valid period is extended. Regardless of whether it is finished or not, the operation prompting effect is finished in the monochrome finish mode, and the result of defeat is derived. However, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period relating to the in-reach operation presentation, the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period relating to the in-reach operation presentation, and the operation valid period ends. At a timing earlier than the time, the operation prompting presentation ends in the monochrome end mode, and the result of defeat is derived.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9D, when the in-reach operation effect is executed and the operation promotion effect is started in the red effect start mode, the effect display device 25 displays a red effect image. Er is displayed. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, it can be inferred that the red button operation prompting display will be performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 9(e), after the red effect image Er is displayed, the effect display device 25 displays the red button image Br and "PUSH" during the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect. An image including character information and a character image CH are displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 9(f), if the special game based on one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is being executed, the operation prompting effect is terminated in the crack end mode, and the result of defeat is derived. At this time, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, and when the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, and the operation valid period is extended. Either when it ends or when it ends, the operation prompting effect ends in the crack end mode, and the result of defeat is derived. However, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period relating to the in-reach operation presentation, the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period relating to the in-reach operation presentation, and the operation valid period ends. At a timing earlier than the time, the operation promotion presentation ends in the crack end mode, and the result of defeat is derived.

It should be noted that whether the blue button operation prompting display is performed as shown in FIG. 9(b) or the red button operation prompting display is performed as shown in FIG. 9(e). However, if the special game based on the variation pattern HP5 is being executed, the operation prompting display ends in the immediate termination mode, and the winning result is derived, as shown in FIG. 9(g). Furthermore, at this time, the movable body 90 operates. Note that when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, and when the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period related to the in-reach operation effect, the operation valid period ends. In either case, the operation prompting presentation is terminated in an immediate termination mode, and the winning result is derived. However, when the first button BT1 is operated within the operation valid period relating to the in-reach operation presentation, the first button BT1 is not operated within the operation valid period relating to the in-reach operation presentation, and the operation valid period ends. At a timing earlier than the time, the operation prompting presentation ends in an immediate end mode, and the winning result is derived.

The effects of this embodiment will be described below.
(1-1) An end mode when the operation prompting effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated while the blue button operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, and a red button in the comment notice effect. The end mode when the operation prompting performance is ended with the trigger that the first button BT1 is operated while the button operation prompting display is being performed is made different. As a result, in addition to the enjoyment of operating the first button BT1 when the operation prompting display is being performed, attention is paid to how the operation prompting effect ends by operating the first button BT1. It is possible to provide enjoyment and improve interest.

(1-2) The start mode when the operation promoting effect in which the blue button operation promoting display is performed in the comment advance notice effect is started, and the start when the operation promoting effect in which the red button operation promoting display is performed in the comment advance notice effect is started. Aspect and , were made different. As a result, it is possible to provide the player with the enjoyment of paying attention to how the operation prompting effect is started, and to improve the interest.

(1-3) An end mode when the operation prompting effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, and an operation promoting effect in the appearance effect. The end mode is made different from the end mode when the operation prompting effect is ended with the trigger that the first button BT1 is operated while it is being performed. In this way, the difference between the comment notice effect and the appearance effect is not limited to the effect, but also the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends when the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed. By creating a difference, it is possible to more effectively entertain the variation of the production prompting the operation of the operation means, and improve the interest.

(1-4) The first button BT1 was operated when the red button operation prompting display was performed in the comment notice effect, compared to the case where the blue button operation prompting display was performed in the comment notice effect. There is a high expectation that the result of the comment notice effect derived with the opportunity will be developed advantageously. Then, an end mode when the operation promoting effect is terminated by operating the first button BT1 while the blue button operation promoting display is being performed in the comment preview effect, and a red button operation promoting display in the comment preview effect. The end mode is made different from the end mode when the operation prompting effect is ended triggered by the operation of the first button BT1 while the display is being performed. As a result, even if the user has operated the first button BT1 before confirming the type of the operation prompting display, it is possible to confirm from the end state of the operation prompting presentation. Therefore, the need to carefully confirm the type of operation prompting display is reduced, and the first button BT1 can be actively operated after the operation prompting display is displayed. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of an event in which the first button BT1 cannot be operated due to too much confirmation. As described above, it is possible to enjoy the performance of actively operating the operation means, and to effectively improve the amusement.

(1-5) The lighting mode of the button light emitter BT1a incorporated in the first button BT1 is made different depending on whether it is a blue button operation prompting display or a red button operation prompting display. This provides an opportunity to pay attention to the light emission mode of the button light emitter BT1a, thereby improving interest.

(1-6) An end mode when the operation prompting effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated while the blue button operation promoting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, and a blue button in the comment notice effect. The ending mode is different from that when the operation prompting presentation ends with the passage of time as the first button BT1 is not operated while the button operation prompting display is being performed. As a result, it is recognized from the end mode of the operation promotion presentation that the first button BT1 cannot be operated while the blue button operation promotion display is being performed in the comment advance notice presentation and the operation promotion presentation has ended with the passage of time. be able to. Therefore, by confirming the end of the operation promotion effect in the end mode in which the end of the operation promotion effect can be recognized with the passage of time as a trigger, when the next comment notice effect is executed, the first comment effect is positively performed. The desire to operate the button BT1 can be heightened, and as a result, interest can be improved by entertaining the performance of operating the operating means.

(1-7) An end mode when the operation prompting effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated while the red button operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, and a red button in the comment notice effect. The ending mode is different from that when the operation prompting presentation ends with the passage of time as the first button BT1 is not operated while the button operation prompting display is being performed. As a result, it is recognized from the end mode of the operation promotion presentation that the first button BT1 cannot be operated while the red button operation promotion display is being performed in the comment advance notice presentation, and the operation promotion presentation has ended with the passage of time. be able to. Therefore, by confirming the end of the operation promotion effect in the end mode in which the end of the operation promotion effect can be recognized with the passage of time as a trigger, when the next comment notice effect is executed, the first comment effect is positively performed. The desire to operate the button BT1 can be heightened, and as a result, interest can be improved by entertaining the performance of operating the operating means.

(1-8) In the comment notice effect, the sound output from the speaker 18 when the operation promoting effect starts in the blue effect start mode is output from the speaker 18 when the operation promoting effect starts in the red effect start mode. different from the sound In this way, by making it possible to determine the start mode based on the information obtained from the ear, which is the sound, it is possible to entertain the listener with the ear and improve interest, and at the same time, increase the interest in the sound, thereby increasing the interest in the sound. It is also possible to improve interest by directing with the sound of .

(1-9) Both the blue button operation prompting display and the red button operation prompting display prompt the user to operate the first button BT1. Therefore, there is no need to search for the operating means to be operated depending on which of the blue button operation prompting display and the red button operation prompting display is performed, and the performance of operating the operating means is simply entertained to improve interest. be able to.

(1-10) The result of the in-reach operation presentation is either the winning result derived only when the big win is won, or when the big win is won or when the big win is not won. There is also a defeat result that is also derived. Then, in the reach operation effect, when the defeat result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger, when the operation promotion effect ends in the crack end mode, it is compared to when the operation promotion effect ends in the monochrome end mode. As a result, there is a high degree of expectation for the temporary stop display of the big hit symbols based on the performance symbols in the performance game. That is, even if the operation of the first button BT1 triggers the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation effect and the result of defeat is derived instead of the result of victory, the operation promotion effect ends in what kind of end mode triggered by the operation of the first button BT1. Depending on whether or not, the degree of expectation for the final stop-and-display of the big hit symbol by the effect symbol in the effect game is different. As a result, attention is drawn to whether or not the winning result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger in the in-reach operation presentation, and the ending mode when the operation promoting presentation ends even if the defeat result is derived. It is possible to improve interest by drawing attention to the manner in which the is ended.

(1-11) The first button BT1 is operated depending on which of the blue button operation prompting display and the red button operation prompting display is performed when the operation prompting effect is executed in the ready-to-reach operation effect. Since the degree of expectation for deriving the winning result is different when this happens, it is possible to draw attention to the operation prompting display and improve interest.

(1-12) For example, if the end mode of the operation prompting effect when the winning result is derived is changed depending on whether the operation prompting display is the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display, a big win is achieved. There is a possibility that the degree of attention to the winning result may decrease even though the winning result is derived from which it can be specified that the player has won the lottery. However, even if the operation prompting display in the ready-to-win operation presentation is either the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display, if the winning result is derived, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends. are the same. As a result, when a winning result that can specify that a big win is won is derived, it is possible to suppress a decrease in attention to the winning result, and improve interest in the operation performance during reach. .

(1-13) When the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the ready-to-reach operation presentation and the defeat result is derived, the defeat result is derived after a predetermined period of time has elapsed without the first button BT1 being operated. The end modes of when the operation prompting effect ends are the same as when the defeat result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger. Similarly, when the red button operation promotion display is performed in the ready-to-reach operation presentation and the defeat result is derived, and when the defeat result is derived after a predetermined period of time has elapsed without the first button BT1 being operated. , and when the defeat result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger, and when the operation prompting effect ends, the end mode is the same. In this way, in the ready-to-reach operation effect, since the end mode of the operation promotion effect does not differ depending on whether or not the first button BT1 is operated, for example, the winning result is derived based on the fact that the first button BT1 is not operated. It is possible to suppress misunderstanding that there is no such information.

(1-14) The degree of expectation for a big hit differs depending on whether the starting mode when the operation promotion presentation starts in the in-ready operation presentation is the blue effect starting mode or the red effect starting mode. Therefore, in the ready-to-reach operation effect, when the first button BT1 is operated, attention is paid to what kind of result is derived as a result of the in-reach operation effect, and attention is also paid to the manner in which the operation promotion effect is started. It is possible to improve interest.

Furthermore, when the defeat result is derived by the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation effect, when the operation promotion effect ends in the crack end mode, compared to when the operation promotion effect ends in the monochrome end mode. As a result, there is a high degree of expectation for the temporary stop display of the big hit symbols based on the performance symbols in the performance game. That is, even if the operation of the first button BT1 triggers the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation effect and the result of defeat is derived instead of the result of victory, the operation promotion effect ends in what kind of end mode triggered by the operation of the first button BT1. Depending on whether or not, the degree of expectation for the final stop-and-display of the big hit symbol by the effect symbol in the effect game is different. As a result, attention is drawn to whether or not the winning result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger in the in-reach operation presentation, and the ending mode when the operation promoting presentation ends even if the defeat result is derived. It is possible to improve interest by drawing attention to the manner in which the is ended.

(1-15) When the first button BT1 is operated when the operation prompting presentation is started in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation presentation and the operation prompting display is being performed, and the result of defeat is derived. The end mode of the operation prompting effect is the crack end mode. Therefore, in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, it is possible to increase interest in whether or not the start mode of the operation promotion presentation is the red effect start mode, thereby improving interest.

(1-16) In the ready-to-reach operation presentation, the sound output from the speaker 18 when the operation promotion presentation starts in the blue effect start mode is output from the speaker 18 when the operation promotion presentation starts in the red effect start mode. different from the sound produced. In this way, by making it possible to determine the start mode based on the information obtained from the ear, which is the sound, it is possible to entertain the listener with the ear and improve interest, and at the same time, increase the interest in the sound, thereby increasing the interest in the sound. It is also possible to improve interest by directing with the sound of .

(1-17) The degree of expectation for a big hit differs depending on whether the starting mode when the operation promotion presentation starts in the in-ready operation presentation is the blue effect starting mode or the red effect starting mode. Therefore, in the ready-to-reach operation effect, when the first button BT1 is operated, attention is paid to what kind of result is derived as a result of the in-reach operation effect, and attention is also paid to the manner in which the operation promotion effect is started. It is possible to improve interest.

Further, in the ready-to-reach operation effect, the first button BT1 is operated depending on whether the operation prompting display performed when the operation prompting effect is being executed is the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display. The degree of expectation that the winning result will be derived as a trigger is different. For this reason, in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, the user is provided with the enjoyment of paying attention to whether the type of operation prompting display with a high degree of expectation for deriving a winning result is provided, and the first button BT1 is pressed after confirming the type of the operation prompting display. It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the winning result will be derived with the operation as a trigger, thereby increasing interest.

In addition, when the defeat result is derived by the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, when the operation promotion presentation ends in the crack end mode, when the operation promotion presentation ends in the monochrome end mode. On the other hand, there is a high degree of expectation for the temporary stop display of the big hit symbol by the effect symbol in the effect game. That is, even if the operation of the first button BT1 triggers the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation effect and the result of defeat is derived instead of the result of victory, the operation promotion effect ends in what kind of end mode triggered by the operation of the first button BT1. Depending on whether or not, the degree of expectation for the final stop-and-display of the big hit symbol by the effect symbol in the effect game is different. As a result, attention is drawn to whether or not the winning result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger in the in-reach operation presentation, and the ending mode when the operation promoting presentation ends even if the defeat result is derived. It is possible to improve interest by drawing attention to the manner in which the is ended.

(1-18) When at least one of when the operation promotion presentation is started in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation presentation and when the red button operation promotion display is performed in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, When the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed and the result of defeat is derived, the end mode of the operation prompting effect is the crack end mode. Therefore, in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, attention is paid to whether the operation promotion presentation is started in the red effect start mode and whether the operation promotion display in the operation promotion presentation is the red button operation promotion display, thereby improving interest. can be achieved.

(1-19) When the operation-promoting effect is terminated in response to the operation of the first button BT1 while the operation-promoting display is being performed in the comment-notifying effect, the operation-promoting display is ended in the comment-notifying effect. This is different from the end mode when the operation prompting effect is ended when the predetermined time has elapsed without the first button BT1 being operated while is being performed. As described above, if the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, the operation prompting effect ends in a different end mode from when the operation prompting effect is not operated. is increased, and the first button BT1 can be positively operated. Then, the desire to operate the first button BT1 is heightened, and as a result, the performance of operating the operating means can be enjoyed, thereby improving interest.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the gaming machine will be described. In addition, the structure similar to 1st Embodiment attaches|subjects the same code|symbol as 1st Embodiment, and abbreviate|omits about the detailed description and drawing.

In the first embodiment, when the defeat result is derived in the in-reach operation effect, when the type of the operation prompting display in the in-reach operation effect is determined, the start mode and the operation prompt effect when the operation prompting effect starts The termination mode when is terminated is determined. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the start mode when the operation prompting effect starts, the type of operation prompting display in the in-reach operation effect, and the end mode when the operation promoting effect ends are determined separately. .

For example, in the first embodiment, the first button BT1 is operated when the operation prompting effect is started in the blue effect start mode in the reach operation effect, and the blue button operation prompting display is being performed, resulting in a defeat. is derived, the end mode of the operation prompting effect is the monochrome end mode. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the first button BT1 is operated while the red button operation prompting display is being performed when the operation prompting effect is started in the red effect start mode in the reach operation effect, resulting in a defeat. The end mode of the operation prompting effect when is derived is the crack end mode. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the defeat result is derived by operating the first button BT1 when the operation promotion presentation is started in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation presentation and the operation promotion display is being performed. If it is, the defeat result is derived by operating the first button BT1 when the operation prompting presentation is started in the blue effect start mode in the reach-in operation presentation and the operation prompting display is being performed. Compared to the case, the end mode of the operation prompting presentation is configured to easily become the crack end mode. That is, in the second embodiment, when the operation prompting effect is started in the second start mode in the special operation effect and the operation prompting display is being performed, the operation means is operated to derive the non-special result. In this case, when the operation prompting effect is started in the first start mode in the special operation effect and the operation means is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed, the non-special result is derived. Therefore, the end mode of the operation prompting presentation is likely to be the second end mode.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the operation promoting effect is started in the blue effect start mode in the reach operation effect, and the operation promoting display in the operation promoting effect is the blue button operation promoting display, the blue button operation promoting display is performed. When the first button BT1 is operated while the display is being performed and the result of defeat is derived, the end mode of the operation promotion effect is the monochrome end mode. Further, in the first embodiment, when the operation promotion effect is started in the red effect start mode in the reach operation effect, and the operation promotion display in the operation promotion effect is the red button operation promotion display, the red button operation promotion display is performed. When the first button BT1 is operated while the display is being performed and the result of defeat is derived, the end mode of the operation promotion effect is the crack end mode.

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, at least one of when the operation prompting effect is started in the red effect start mode in the in-reach operation effect and when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the in-reach operation effect. When the first button BT1 is operated at a certain time and the result of defeat is derived, when the operation promotion presentation is started in the blue effect start mode in the in-reach operation presentation and the blue button operation promotion display is performed, the first button BT1 is operated. Compared to the case where the 1-button BT1 is operated and the result of defeat is derived, the end mode of the operation promotion effect is configured to easily become the crack end mode. That is, in the second embodiment, at least one of when the operation prompting effect is started in the second start mode in the special operation effect and when the second operation prompting display is performed in the special operation effect. When the operation means is operated to derive a non-special result, the operation means is operated when the operation prompting effect is started in the first start mode in the special operation effect and the first operation prompting display is performed. As compared with the case where a non-special result is derived through the operation prompting effect, the end mode of the operation prompting effect is more likely to be the second end mode.

In particular, in the second embodiment, when the operation promotion presentation is started in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation presentation and the red button operation promotion display is performed, the operation promotion presentation is performed in the blue effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation presentation. When the first button BT1 is operated and a defeat result is derived when the operation prompting display is performed compared to when the blue button operation prompting display is performed after the operation prompting effect is started, the end mode of the operation prompting effect is changed. It is configured such that the crack end mode is likely to occur. That is, in the second embodiment, when the operation prompting effect is started in the second start mode in the special operation effect and the second operation prompting display is being performed, the operating means is operated and a non-special result is derived. , in the special operation presentation, when the operation promotion presentation is started in the first start mode and the first operation promotion display is being performed, the operating means is operated and a non-special result is derived, The end mode of the operation prompting presentation is likely to be the second end mode.

Incidentally, in the present embodiment, when the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the ready-to-win operation effect and the winning result is derived, the start mode of the operation prompting effect and the type of the operation prompting display Regardless, the end mode of the operation prompting presentation is the immediate end mode.

Hereinafter, control related to the in-reach operation presentation in the second embodiment will be described. Note that the same control as the control related to the in-reach operation effect in the first embodiment will be omitted.
When executing the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the start mode of the operation promotion effect in the in-reach operation effect. At this time, when either of the variation patterns HP5 and HP6 as the big hit variation pattern is specified, the sub CPU 41a is more likely to be in the red effect start mode than when the variation pattern HP3 as the losing variation pattern is specified. is easy to determine. As a result, when the operation promotion performance starts in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-win operation performance, the degree of expectation for the big win is higher than when the operation promotion performance starts in the blue effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation performance. can be configured to Note that "easily determined" means "high probability of determination".

Further, as in the first embodiment, when executing the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the type of operation promotion display in the in-reach operation effect. At this time, when either of the variation patterns HP5 and HP6, which are the big hit variation patterns, is specified, the sub CPU 41a promotes red button operation more than when the variation pattern HP3, which is the losing variation pattern, is specified. Display is easy to determine. In particular, when the variation pattern HP5 is specified, the sub CPU 41a is more likely to determine the red button operation promotion display than when the variation pattern HP6 is specified. Thus, in the ready-to-win operation effect, when the red button operation prompting display is performed, the victory is triggered by the operation of the first button BT1 compared to the case where the blue button operation prompting display is performed. It can be configured so that the expectation that the result is derived is high.

Further, when executing the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a determines the end mode of the operation promotion effect in the in-reach operation effect. At this time, the secondary CPU 41a determines the immediate end mode when the variation pattern HP5 is specified. On the other hand, when one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is designated, the sub CPU 41a determines one of the monochrome end mode and the crack end mode. The secondary CPU 41a, when the variation pattern HP6 in which the resurrection effect is executed after the defeat result is derived is designated, is compared to the case where the variation pattern HP3 in which the resurrection effect is not executed after the defeat result is derived is designated. Then, it is easy to determine the crack end mode. As a result, when the defeat result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation effect as a trigger, when the operation promotion effect ends in the crack end mode, when the operation promotion effect ends in the monochrome end mode On the other hand, it can be constructed so that the degree of expectation for the final stop-and-display of the big-hit symbols based on the performance symbols in the performance game is high.

Then, when the blue effect start mode is determined as the start mode of the operation promoting effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the operation promoting effect in the blue effect start mode. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 so as to output the blue start sound. Similarly, when the red effect start mode is determined as the start mode of the operation promoting effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to start the operation promoting effect in the red effect start mode. At this time, the sub CPU 41a controls the speaker 18 to output the red start tone. While the red button operation prompting display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the button light emitter BT1a to emit red light.

Further, when the blue button operation promotion display is determined, the secondary CPU 41a displays the display until the operation effective period related to the in-reach operation effect elapses or until the first button BT1 is operated before the operation effective period elapses. , controls the effect display device 25 so as to perform a blue button operation prompting display. While the blue button operation prompting display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the button light emitter BT1a to emit blue light. Similarly, when the red button operation promotion display is determined, the secondary CPU 41a operates the first button BT1 until the operation effective period related to the in-reach operation effect elapses or before the operation effective period elapses. Until then, the effect display device 25 is controlled so as to display the red button operation prompting display. While the red button operation prompting display is being performed, the sub CPU 41a controls the button light emitter BT1a to emit red light.

Further, when the detection signal from the first button BT1 is input within the operation valid period (when the operation prompting display is being performed) related to the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a causes the operation prompting effect to end. It controls the display device 25 . Similarly, when the operation effective period related to the in-reach operation effect ends without inputting the detection signal from the first button BT1 within the operation effective period related to the in-reach operation effect, the sub CPU 41a terminates the operation promotion effect. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to do so. When the immediate end mode is determined as the end mode of the operation prompting effect, the secondary CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation prompting effect ends in the immediate end mode. Further, when the monochrome end mode is determined as the end mode of the operation prompting effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation prompting effect ends in the monochrome end mode. Similarly, when the crack end mode is determined as the end mode of the operation promotion effect, the sub CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so that the operation promotion effect ends in the crack end mode.

According to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1-1) to (1-14), (1-16), (1-17) and (1-19) in the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(2-1) A case in which the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed and the defeat result is derived when the operation prompting effect is started in the red effect start mode in the reach operation effect. , the first button BT1 is operated when the operation prompting effect is started in the blue effect start mode in the reach operation effect, and the defeat result is derived when the operation prompting display is being performed. As a result, the end mode of the operation prompting presentation is likely to be the crack end mode. Therefore, in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, attention is paid to whether the start mode of the operation promotion presentation is the red effect start mode, and whether the start mode of the operation promotion presentation is the blue effect start mode or the red effect start mode. It is possible to provide the enjoyment of paying attention to the end state of the operation promotion performance when the defeat result is derived according to whether the player is present, and improve the interest.

(2-2) At least one of when the operation prompting effect is started in the red effect start mode in the ready-to-reach operation effect and when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the ready-to-reach operation effect When the first button BT1 is operated to derive the result of defeat, the first button BT1 is displayed when the blue button operation prompting display is performed by starting the operation promoting presentation in the blue effect start mode in the in-reach operation presentation. is operated and the result of defeat is derived, the end mode of the operation promotion effect is more likely to be the crack end mode. Therefore, in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, attention is paid to whether the start mode of the operation promotion presentation is the red effect start mode and whether the operation promotion display is the red button operation promotion display. It is possible to improve interest by providing enjoyment of paying attention to the ending mode of the operation promotion performance when the defeat result is derived according to the performance start mode and the operation promotion display.

The above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiments and the following modifications can be combined with each other within a technically consistent range.
・The end mode when the operation promotion effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated while the blue button operation promotion display is being performed in the comment notice effect, and the red button operation promotion display in the comment notice effect. may be the same as the end mode when the operation prompting effect is ended triggered by the operation of the first button BT1 while is being performed. In addition, in the comment notice effect, when the first button BT1 is operated while the blue button operation prompting display is being performed, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends and the blue button operation prompting display are performed. The end mode may be the same as that when the operation prompting effect ends with the passage of time as a trigger when the first button BT1 is not operated while the button BT1 is being pressed. Similarly, in the comment notice effect, when the first button BT1 is operated while the red button operation prompting display is being performed, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends and the red button operation prompting display are displayed. The end mode may be the same as when the operation prompting effect ends with the passage of time as a trigger without the first button BT1 being operated while being performed.

・When the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, and when the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, it is derived when the first button BT1 is operated. The degree of expectation may be the same, which results in a high degree of expectation for the advantageous development of the result of the comment announcement effect. Further, when the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, the first button BT1 is operated as a trigger compared to the case where the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect. It may be configured such that the degree of expectation is high when the result of the derived comment advance notice effect is favorably developed.

・There is a start mode when the operation promoting effect in which the blue button operation promoting display is performed in the comment advance notice effect starts, and a start mode when the operation promoting effect in which the red button operation promoting display is performed in the comment advance notice effect starts. may be the same.

・The end mode when the operation prompting effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, and the operation promoting effect is performed in the appearance effect. The end mode may be the same as when the operation prompting effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated.

・The timing to determine the result to be derived in the comment notice effect is not the timing when the first button BT1 is operated while the operation promotion display is being performed (that is, the operation valid period related to the comment notice effect). may For example, the result to be derived in the comment notice effect may be determined before the comment notice effect is started. Further, it may be configured such that the result to be derived in the comment advance notice effect is determined at a timing before the type of operation prompting display in the comment advance notice effect is determined. At this time, it is decided to perform a red button operation promotion display when it is decided to derive a result with a high degree of expectation for a big hit (a result with a high degree of expectation for favorable development) in the comment notice effect. It may be configured so that it is easy to Even in the case of such a configuration, when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect, the number of the first button is higher than when the blue button operation prompting display is performed in the comment notice effect. The result of the comment advance notice effect derived with the operation of BT1 as a trigger can be configured so that the degree of expectation for the big win is high.

・In the comment advance notice effect, when the operation prompting effect ends when the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed, The end mode may be the same as the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends when the predetermined time has elapsed without the first button BT1 being operated.

A prescribed fade time when the operation promotion performance ends in the fade end mode in the comment notice performance may be different from a prescribed fade time when the operation promotion performance ends in the fade end mode in the appearance performance. For example, a predetermined fade time when the operation promoting effect ends in a fade end mode in a effect (for example, an appearing effect) that is executed less frequently among the comment notice effect and the appearance effect is the same as the operation promoting effect in the other effect. It may be longer than the predetermined fade time when ending in the fade end mode. By configuring in this way, the period during which the player can recognize that the operating means could not be operated within the valid operation period is lengthened, and the desire to operate the operating means after the next time can be effectively increased.

・The timing to determine the result to be derived in the appearance effect does not have to be the timing when the second button BT2 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed (that is, during the operation valid period related to the appearance effect). good. For example, the result to be derived in the appearance effect may be determined before the appearance effect starts.

・In the ready-to-win operation presentation, the degree of expectation for a big hit may not be different between when the operation promotion presentation starts in the blue effect start mode and when the operation promotion presentation starts in the red effect start mode. Expectations may be the same. In addition, for example, when the operation promotion presentation starts in the red effect start mode, the victory result is derived with the operation of the first button BT1 as a trigger, compared to when the operation promotion presentation starts in the blue effect start mode. It may be configured to increase the degree of expectation to be received. That is, in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, the win result is obtained when the first button BT1 is operated, depending on whether the start mode when the operation promotion presentation starts is the blue effect start mode or the red effect start mode. may be derived with different expectations.

・The winning result is derived when the first button BT1 is operated when the blue button operation prompting display is performed and when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the operation presentation during reach. The expectations do not have to be different, and for example, the expectations for deriving the winning result triggered by the operation of the first button BT1 may be the same. In addition, for example, when the red button operation prompting display is performed, the big hit expectation may be higher than when the blue button operation prompting display is performed. That is, in the ready-to-win operation presentation, the degree of expectation for a big win is made different depending on whether the operation promotion display performed when the operation promotion presentation is executed is the blue button operation promotion display or the red button operation promotion display. good too.

・In the ready-to-reach operation effect, when the operation promotion effect ends in the monochrome end mode and when the operation promotion effect ends in the crack end mode, the effect game finally stops and displays the big hit symbol by the effect symbol. It is not necessary to make the degree of expectation to be different, for example, the degree of expectation may be the same. In addition, for example, when the operation promoting performance ends in the crack end mode, the degree of expectation for big win may be higher than when the operation promoting performance ends in the monochromatic end mode. That is, even if the operation of the first button BT1 triggers the operation of the first button BT1 in the ready-to-reach operation effect and the result of defeat is derived instead of the result of victory, the operation promotion effect ends in what kind of end mode triggered by the operation of the first button BT1. The degree of expectation for a big hit may be varied depending on whether the game is played.

An event suggested or notified by the start mode of the operation production during reach (for example, the degree of expectation of a big hit) and an event suggested or notified by the operation promotion display in the operation production during reach (for example, the expectation that the winning result is derived ) and the event suggested or notified by the ending mode of the operation effect during reach (for example, the degree of expectation that the jackpot symbol will finally be temporarily stopped and displayed by the effect symbol) are partly or wholly the same good too. In addition, an event suggested or notified by the start mode of the operation effect during reach, an event suggested or notified by the operation prompting display in the operation effect during reach, and an event suggested or notified by the end mode of the operation effect during reach , may all be different.

When the winning result is derived, the end mode when the operation prompting effect ends may be changed depending on whether the operation prompting display is the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display. For example, when the winning result is derived, when the blue button operation prompting display is performed, the operation prompting effect is terminated in an immediate end mode, while when the red button operation prompting display is performed, the operation prompting is performed in a fade end mode. It may be configured such that the performance is terminated.

・When a defeat result is derived after a predetermined period of time has passed without the first button BT1 being operated, and when the first button BT1 is pressed while the blue button operation prompting display is being performed in the reach operation effect. The end mode of the operation prompting presentation may be different between when the defeat result is derived with the operation as a trigger. Similarly, when the red button operation prompting display is performed in the reach operation effect, the defeat result is derived after a predetermined period of time has elapsed without the first button BT1 being operated, and the first button When the defeat result is derived with the operation of BT1 as a trigger, the end mode of the operation promotion presentation may be changed.

In the second embodiment, when one of the variation patterns HP3 and HP6 is specified, for example, the end mode of the operation prompting effect is determined according to the start mode of the operation prompting effect and the operation prompting display. It may be configured as For example, when the start mode of the operation prompting presentation is the red effect start mode and when the operation prompting display is the red button operation prompting display, at least one of the blue effect start mode and the blue button operation is performed. It may be configured such that the crack ending mode is more likely to be determined as the ending mode of the operation prompting presentation than when the prompting display is performed. Further, when the red effect start mode is the red button operation prompting display, the crack end mode is determined as the end mode of the operation prompting effect compared to when the red effect start mode is the blue button operation prompting display. It may be configured so that it is easy to Similarly, when the red effect start mode is the red button operation prompting display, the crack end mode is the end mode of the operation prompting presentation compared to the blue effect start mode and the red button operation prompting display. It may be configured to be easily determined.

- The period during which the comment notice effect, the appearance effect, and the in-reach operation effect are executed may be changed. For example, some or all of the comment notice effect, the appearance effect, and the in-reach operation effect can be executed during a period in which the special game is not executed (for example, during the jackpot game, when in a standby state). It may be a directing. Also, for example, some or all of the comment notice effect, the appearance effect, and the in-reach operation effect can be performed during a period during which the special game is being executed, but during a period different from the above embodiment. You can change it as a production. For example, the appearance effect may be an effect that can be executed within a period in which the ready-to-win effect is being executed. In changing the period during which these effects are executed, events suggested or notified by the results derived in each effect (for example, the degree of expectation of a big win) may be changed. For example, when the comment notice effect is executed during the big win game, depending on the result of the comment notice effect, the degree of expectation to be controlled to the variable probability state after the end of the big win game may be varied.

The sound output from the speaker 18 when the operation prompting presentation starts in the blue effect start mode is the same as the sound output from the speaker 18 when the operation prompting presentation starts in the red effect start mode. good too. In addition, in either one of the comment notice effect and the in-reach operation effect, the sound output from the speaker 18 when the operation promoting effect is started in the blue effect start mode, and the operation promoting effect is started in the red effect start mode. The sound output from the speaker 18 may sometimes be different. In addition, the presence or absence of sound output may differ between when the operation promoting presentation starts in the blue effect start mode and when the operation promoting presentation starts in the red effect start mode. For example, the sound may be output from the speaker 18 only when the operation prompting presentation starts in the red effect start mode among the blue effect start mode and the red effect start mode. Further, it may be configured such that sound is not output from the speaker 18 with the start of the operation prompting effect.

- Even if the operating means is operated while the operation prompting effect is being started in a predetermined start mode, the operation may be used as a trigger to derive the result of the effect. For example, when the first button BT1 is operated while the comment notice effect is started in the blue effect start mode, the operation may be used as a trigger to derive the result of the comment notice effect. At this time, the result of the comment notice effect may be derived after the operation prompting display is temporarily executed, or the result of the comment notice effect may be derived without performing the operation prompting display. can be configured to The operation-promoting effect may not be an effect in which an operation-promoting display is performed.

・Even if the operation means is operated while the operation promotion effect is finished in a predetermined end mode without being operated within the operation effective period related to various effects, the operation will trigger It may be configured such that the results of various effects are derived. For example, if the first button BT1 is operated while the operation prompting display is being performed in the comment notice effect, the operation may be used as a trigger to derive the result of the comment notice effect.

- The number of operation buttons corresponding to the operation means may not be two, and may be, for example, one, or may be three or more. Further, the operation means for prompting the operation in various effects may be changed. For example, the operation means for which the operation is prompted in the appearance effect may be changed from the second button BT2 to the first button BT1.

The operating means prompted to operate when the blue button operation prompting display is displayed may be different from the operating means prompted to operate when the red button operation prompting display is displayed. For example, when the blue button operation prompting display is displayed, the operation of the first button BT1 is prompted, while when the red button operation prompting display is displayed, the operation of the second button BT2 may be prompted. good. In addition, for example, in the comment advance notice effect, the operation of the first button BT1 is prompted regardless of whether the blue button operation prompting display or the red button operation prompting display is performed. On the other hand, in the ready-to-reach operation presentation, the operation of the first button BT1 is prompted when the blue button operation prompting display is displayed, and the operation of the second button BT2 is prompted when the red button operation prompting display is displayed. can be configured to

- When the operation-promoting effect is executed, the remaining time until the operation-promoting display ends may be displayed by displaying an image that can be specified or estimated, and the operation-promoting display may be performed. At this time, the remaining time until the end of the operation prompting display may be displayed. Possible modes may be displayed. Then, for example, when the blue button image Bb is displayed and when the red button image Br is displayed, the meter decreases, so that the player can recognize that the timing for ending the operation prompting display is approaching. The operation prompting display may be varied by varying the aspects.

- You may change the image displayed when various operation prompting displays are performed. For example, when the red button operation promotion display is performed, the character image CH may not be displayed. Also, the number of images displayed when various operation prompting displays are performed may be the same.

The light emitting mode of the button light emitter BT1a when the blue button operation prompting display is displayed may be the same as the light emitting mode of the button light emitter BT1a when the red button operation prompting display is displayed. . Also, the button light emitter BT1a may not be provided. That is, the first button BT1 may be operating means that does not incorporate the button light emitter BT1a.

- You may provide the operation means with which the vibrating device was built. For example, the first button BT1 may incorporate a vibration device. Then, for example, the vibrating device may not operate when the blue button operation prompting display is started, but the vibrating device may be configured to operate when the red button operation prompting display is started. In such a configuration, the vibration generated by the operation of the vibrating device can be recognized by touching the first button BT1, so that the first button BT1 can be operated more positively, improving interest. can be achieved.

- The above embodiment may be equipped with an auto function (auto button function). The auto function is a function that advances the production by assuming that the operating means has been operated. In the situation where the automatic function is set, the operation means is not operated during the operation effective period related to various effects. For this reason, when an automatic function is installed, when the operation effective period expires without the operation means being operated within the operation effective period related to various effects is when the automatic function is not set and various effects are executed. It corresponds to the time when the operation effective period ends without the operation means being operated within the operation effective period. Further, when the automatic function is set, even if the operation means is not actually operated, it is assumed that the operation means has been operated, and the performance proceeds. For this reason, when an automatic function is installed, when the operation means is operated within the operation effective period related to various effects in the above embodiment is when the automatic function is set and the operation means is actually operated. It will be included even when it is not operated.

In the above embodiment, a special game (hereinafter referred to as the first special game) that is executed based on the ball entering the first starting port 26 and a special game that is executed based on the ball entering the second starting port 27 ( hereinafter referred to as a second special game) may be separated. For example, the second special game may be configured to be executed with priority over the first special game, or may be configured to be executed in the order in which execution was suspended regardless of the type of special game. good too. Alternatively, the first special game may be executed with priority over the second special game. In addition, the first special game and the second special game may be configured to be executable at the same time. For example, while the effect game corresponding to the first special game is executed in the low base state, the second special game is executed in the high base state. A production game corresponding to the second special game may be executed. Further, for example, even if at least one of the types of big wins determined by when the first special game results in a big win and when the second special game results in a big win and at least one of the determination rates of various big wins is different. good.
