Description

The present invention relates to a game machine capable of executing variable display.

In conventional game machines, when changing the image displayed on the liquid crystal display (display means), the display screen of the liquid crystal display is blacked out or whited out (displaying a light emission effect image), and these blacks are displayed. There are some that can execute a stage change effect (specific effect) in which a new image is displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display when out or whiteout occurs (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2018-175787 A

However, the stage change effect of Patent Document 1 merely blacks out or whites out the display screen of the liquid crystal display, and there is a problem that the stage change effect cannot be enhanced.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the entertainment of a specific performance.

The game machine of means 1 is
A gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) capable of executing variable display,
a display means (for example, an image display device 5) having a display area capable of displaying an image;
A predetermined image (for example, each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R) is displayed in a specific area (for example, the display area of the image display device 5) within the display area, and a variable display effect corresponding to the variable display (for example, reach state variable display of the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center after becoming) and a light emission effect image (e.g., light emission effect image 037SG105E) corresponding to radiated light emitted from a single light source (e.g., single light source 037SG105K) at least in the specific area Effect executing means (for example, effect control CPU 120 and display control unit 123) capable of executing a specific effect (for example, light emitting effect in modification 037SG-8) to be displayed,
with
The effect executing means is capable of displaying game-related information (for example, small symbols, pending memory number display, pending display, etc.) related to the progress of the game, and also displays a background image (for example, background image 5a). It is possible to let
When the production execution means executes the specific production,
displaying an image corresponding to the position of the single light source behind the predetermined image as the light emission effect image, and then corresponding to the movement of the single light source to a position in front of the predetermined image; It is possible to display an image whose brightness gradually increases according to the movement (for example, as shown in FIG. After displaying the luminous effect image 037SG105E, the luminous effect image 037SG105E is enlarged and displayed to substantially the entire display area of the image display device 5, and by increasing the luminance, each decorative pattern 037SG105L, A portion that makes 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a temporarily invisible to the player),
In conjunction with the gradual increase in the luminance of the light emission effect image, the mode of the predetermined image is changed from a first mode in which the visibility of the predetermined image is high to a mode in which the visibility is lower than the first mode and is emitted from the single light source. After changing to a second mode in which the outline of the predetermined image is emphasized by the emitted light, the predetermined image in the second mode is gradually changed from the outer peripheral portion facing the light emission effect image to the invisible third mode. (For example, as shown in FIG. 11-47, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed, the brightness 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are emphasized by the luminous effect image 037SG105E, the brightness of the number display portion 037SG105S is reduced, and each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R part where the whole turns black),
The luminous effect image includes an image suggesting a situation in which light is diffused from the single light source displayed at a specific display position in the display area (for example, as shown in FIG. 11-47, the luminous effect image 037SG105E A portion of an image suggesting a situation in which the central portion near the single light source 037SG105K has the highest brightness and the light with lower brightness toward the edge side diffuses),
When the production execution means executes the specific production,
It is possible to change the background image into a form that is difficult to see by concealing the background image with the light emission effect image without emphasizing the outline with the light emitted from the single light source (for example, FIG. 11 -47, the background image 5a is not changed to black by the display of the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E and is invisible to the player);
By hiding the display image of the game-related information with the light-emitting effect image, it is not changed in a manner that is difficult to see (for example, as shown in FIG. Even if the background image 5a and the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R become temporarily invisible due to the display of the luminous effect image 037SG105E, the luminous effect image 037SG105E continues without changing the visibility from the player. displayed part),
When the predetermined image is changed to the third mode, the lighting effect image is displayed in the entire display area excluding the display area of the display image of the game-related information, and when the display of the lighting effect image ends. It is possible to display a special image different from the predetermined image (for example, as shown in FIGS. After being displayed, the background image 5b for suggesting high expectations can be displayed in place of the background image 5a),
It is characterized by
According to this feature, the change in the visibility of the predetermined image due to the display of the light-emission effect image allows the player to recognize the specific effect as a realistic effect, so that the effect interest of the specific effect can be enhanced. Further, even if the visibility of the predetermined image for the player changes due to the display of the light-emitting effect image, the visibility of the display image of the game-related information from the player can be ensured. It is possible to effectively draw the player's attention to the image being displayed.

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

(Structure of pachinko machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko game machine 1, showing the arrangement layout of the main members. A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly composed of a game board (gauge board) 2 forming a game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 supporting and fixing the game board 2 . A game area is formed in the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot from a predetermined ball shooting device and hit into the game area.

The "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, that a plurality of types of special symbols are variably displayed (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include updating display of a plurality of patterns, scrolling display of a plurality of patterns, deformation of one or more patterns, enlargement/reduction of one or more patterns, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols, which will be described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Note that the variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed blinking. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols to be described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or variation.

The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also called "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also called "second special symbols". Also, a special game using the first special game is called a "first special game", and a special game using the second special game is called a "second special game". In addition, the number of special symbol display devices that variably display the special symbols may be one.

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

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronism with the first special game and the second special game, a plurality of types of decorative patterns (such as patterns showing numbers) as decoration identification information different from the special patterns. variable display is performed. Here, in synchronism with the first special game or the second special game, decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, vertically direction scroll display and update display). It should be noted that the variable display of the special game and the decoration pattern that are executed in synchronization are also collectively referred to simply as the variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying suspended display corresponding to the variable display whose execution is suspended and active display corresponding to the variable display being executed. Suspended display and active display are also collectively referred to as variable display corresponding display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable representations that are reserved is also referred to as the number of reserved memories. The reserved memory number corresponding to the first special game is also referred to as the first reserved memory number, and the reserved memory number corresponding to the second special game is also referred to as the second reserved memory number. The sum of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number is also referred to as the total reserved memory number.

At predetermined positions on the game board 2, a first suspension indicator 25A and a second suspension indicator 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. The first pending display 25A displays the first pending memory number by the number of lit LEDs. The second pending display 25B displays the number of second pending memories according to the number of lit LEDs.

A winning ball device 6A is provided below the image display device 5, and a variable winning ball device 6B is provided on the right side of the winning ball device 6A.

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

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning hole that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 3). The variable winning ball device 6B is provided with, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable winglets. comes close to the winning ball device 6A, and the closed state in which the game balls do not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening being closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening (second start It is also said that the prize-winning mouth is open.). When the game ball enters the second start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the second special game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that changes between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to a device provided with an electric tulip-shaped accessory.

Predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three positions on the lower left side of the game area and one position above the variable winning ball device 6B) are always kept in a constant open state by predetermined ball receiving members. A general winning opening 10 is provided. In this case, when the player enters one of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 has a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3). Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning door (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning door closes the big winning door, and the game ball is pushed out. You will not be able to enter (pass through) the prize gate. On the other hand, in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize winning port door is in the ON state, the special prize winning port door opens the big prize winning port, making it easier for the game ball to enter the big prize winning port. Become.

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

Entering a game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also called "winning". In particular, winning a prize in a starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

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

A passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided on the right side of the image display device 5 . Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, the normal game is executed.

Below the normal pattern display 20, a normal pattern holding display 25C is provided. The general pattern suspension display 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the normal pattern suspension storage number, which is the number of general pattern games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

The surface of the game board 2 is provided with, in addition to the above configuration, a windmill for changing the flowing direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, an out port is provided for taking in game balls that have not entered any of the winning ports.

(Overview of Game Progress)
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotating operation of a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1 . When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display device 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately) , the normal game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In this normal pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (normal pattern per pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern per pattern". On the other hand, if a normal pattern (normal pattern lost pattern) other than the normal pattern winning pattern is stop-displayed as the fixed normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern lost". When it comes to "normal game", the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period of time and the opening control is performed (the second start winning opening is opened).

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

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

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special game is running or during the period when it is controlled to the jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special game based on the entry is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the type of the big hit described below) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big win" and a big winning symbol. If a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing". Incidentally, the "loss" in the pachinko game machine 1 includes a "time-saving loss" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time-saving state) without going through the big win game.

After the display result in the special game becomes "big win", the game is controlled to a big win game state as an advantageous state for the player.

In the jackpot game state, the jackpot formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is the timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until whichever comes first. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the big winning slot can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning opening and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc.) are prepared, and the jackpot type is set according to these It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type with which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type with which few prize balls can be obtained.

After the jackpot game state is finished, depending on the jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time-saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time saving state, the control (time saving control) that shortens the average special figure fluctuation time (period of varying the special figure) than the normal state is executed. In the time-saving state, by shortening the average normal figure fluctuation time (the period during which the normal figure is changed) than in the normal state, and by improving the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time-saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbols) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time-saving control, the variable probability control in which the probability that the display result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The variable probability state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols is improved, and in addition, a "big hit" is likely to occur, so it is a further advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the variable probability state are continued until one of the end conditions such as execution of the special game for a predetermined number of times and start of the next big win game state is established first. The end condition that the special figure game of a predetermined number of times has been executed is also referred to as a number cut (number cut time reduction, number cut probability variable, etc.).

The normal state means a game state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a variable probability state, etc., and the display result in the normal game is "normal game". The pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special game will be a "jackpot", returns to the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a predetermined return after power-on, such as when the system is reset) It is the state controlled in the same way as when processing is not executed).

The state in which probability variable control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which probability variable control is not executed is also called a low probability state. A state in which time-saving control is performed is also referred to as a high-based state, and a state in which time-saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low-based state. Combining these, the short-time state is also called a low-probability-high base state, the probability-variable state is a high-probability-high base state, and the normal state is a low-probability-low base state. The high probability state and the low base state are also referred to as the high probability low base state.

In addition, the game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot game state. For example, when the game ball passes through the specific area, it may be controlled to the probability variable state after the big hit game state.
(Progress of production, etc.)

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notifying the progress of the game and exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9 are provided. lighting or extinguishing, the movement of the movable body 32, or a performance using any performance device including a part or all of these.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the image display device 5, the first special game or the second In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game or the second special game, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns), which is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns, is displayed. ) is also stopped (derived).

During the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end of the variable display, the variable display of the decorative design may be in a predetermined ready-to-win state (ready-to-win state is established). Here, the ready-to-win mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative symbols that are not stopped and displayed are displayed in a variable manner. It is the aspect that is continuing.

Further, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win mode during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special game or the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern) to the "big win" (also called the "big win reliability" or "big win expectation") depends on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of ready-to-win effects are executed. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

When the display result of the special game is a "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration The display result of the variable display of the pattern becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decoration patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stop-displayed together on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. .

In the case of a ``variable probability big hit'' controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the big win game state, odd decorative patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed together, and the variable probability state is entered after the end of the big win game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative patterns are also called probability variable patterns and even-numbered decorative patterns are also called non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

When the display result of the special game is "lost", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the ready-to-win mode, and the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" (Also referred to as non-reach lost") may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach lost"). In addition, when the display result is "lost", after the mode of variable display of decorative patterns becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of variable display of decorative patterns is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("no reach") that is not a big hit combination. ”) is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “reach lost”).

The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (suspended display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display during execution and a pre-reading notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display before execution (variable display whose execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the display corresponding to variable display (suspended display or active display) to a mode different from normal may be executed.

Also, in the image display device 5, the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative patterns, and then the variable display is restarted, so that one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays. A pseudo continuous effect may be executed.

During the big winning game state, the performance during the big winning is executed to report the big winning game state. As the effect during the big win, the effect of notifying the number of rounds or the promotion effect indicating that the value of the big win game state is improved may be executed.

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

The transmission of the detection signal means that the passage or entry of the game ball has been detected.

The switch circuit 110 takes in a reset signal, a power-off signal, and a clear signal from the power board 17 and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100 . The reset signal is an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the control circuit such as the game control microcomputer 100, and can be output using either the power supply monitoring circuit, the IC with built-in watchdog timer, or the system reset IC. I wish I had. The power-off signal turns off when a predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and turns on when the period in which the predetermined power supply voltage is equal to or less than the predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or longer. Become. The clear signal is turned on, for example, when a clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed.

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

(Major operations of the main substrate 11)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes the game control main process. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main substrate 11. As shown in FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). Initial settings include stack pointer setting, internal device register setting (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output port, etc.), setting to make RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is in the OFF state, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, for example, if a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in an ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100 . If such an on-state clear signal is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the restoration condition is not satisfied. It is sufficient that the backup data can be stored in the RAM 102 serving as a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, etc. may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery condition can be established.

If the restoration condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), after executing the restoration process (step S4), the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed. The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if the pattern variation can be restarted.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the initialization process (step S6) is performed, and then the setting change process (step S7) is performed. The initialization processing in step S6 includes clear processing for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and initial values are set in the work area by executing the clear processing.

In the setting confirmation process of step S5, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting confirmation condition is satisfied. The setting confirmation condition is established, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is ON and the setting key 51 is ON when the power supply is started. The setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed when the recovery condition including the clear signal being in the OFF state is satisfied in step S3. Therefore, since the setting confirmation condition can be satisfied only when the clear signal is in the OFF state, the fact that the clear signal is in the OFF state can also be included in the setting confirmation condition.

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process of step S5, the setting confirmation state is entered in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed, and the main board 11 sets the performance control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting values set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29 . When ending the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be in a game stop state to stop the progress of the game. When the game is in the stopped state, shooting of game balls by operating the batted ball operation handle, detection of game balls by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbols are stopped. The display device 20 may be controlled so as to stop display of the winning symbols or the like, or display corresponding to the game stop state different from the losing symbols. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is in the ON state and the setting key 51 is turned ON when power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is on.

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting change state is set in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be changed, and the main board 11 sets to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the setting values are displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical values displayed on the display monitor 29 are sequentially updated and displayed. After that, when the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a game hall staff member or the like, the setting value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the display monitor 29 is updated. turn off the When ending the setting change state, a setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be put in the game stop state as in the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

On the effect control board 12 side, when a setting confirmation start command or a setting change start command is received, control may be performed to notify that the setting is being checked or that the setting is being changed. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed on the image display device 5, a predetermined sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R, or a light-emitting member such as the game effect lamp 9 may emit light in a predetermined manner.

The clear signal is turned on by pressing a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17, for example. Therefore, if the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is on when the power supply is started, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 and the step The setting change process of S7 is executed to enable control to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 to enable control to the setting confirmation state. If the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is off when the power supply is started, or if the setting key 51 is off, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 is executed. On the other hand, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery processing of step S4 is executed, but it is not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

After executing the setting confirmation process or the setting change process, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and the interrupt is permitted (step S10 ). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko game machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.), start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of wins, etc.), probability change information (information indicating the number of times the odd state has occurred, etc.) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). By the CPU 103 executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the jackpot game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the normal symbol game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41), It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal game hit". The execution of the normal pattern game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the normal pattern reservation number is displayed by lighting the normal pattern reservation display device 25C.

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

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 5 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, the occurrence of starting winning is detected, and the process of storing the pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 and updating the pending storage number is executed. When a starting prize is generated, a random number value for determining the display result (including the jackpot type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process of pre-reading and judging the display result and the variation pattern may be executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of starting winning thus set to be transmitted is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. is transmitted to

After executing the starting prize determination process in step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game based on the presence or absence of pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. In addition, the special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion). Also, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special game may be established in the order of winning (also called winning order).

When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which decision values to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) are referred to. Other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12 are the same. Various tables are stored in the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 .

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

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of variable display of decorative patterns), the form of variable display of decorative patterns (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of decorative patterns. It specifies the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes a process of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation processing ends.

The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the variation of the special symbol, and stop display (derivate) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes a process to set for Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". When the display result is "missing", when it is controlled in the time saving state or the variable probability state, and when the end of the number of cuts is established, the game state is also updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is "jackpot". is When opening the big winning opening, a process of supplying a solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is completed.

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". In this process during the opening of the big win, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning hole, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the big winning hole is counted. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes processing for determining whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions, and processing for judging whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit number of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending production is executed as a production operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

The pachinko game machine 1 is configured such that the probability of winning a jackpot and the rate of winning balls are changed according to the set value. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value, the probability of winning a big hit and the rate of winning balls are changed. For example, the setting value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, and 6 is the highest probability of winning the big win, and the probability of winning the big win decreases in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 as the value decreases. In this example, when 6 is set as the setting value, the advantage for the player is the highest, and the lower the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the advantage in stages. . If the winning probability of the big win changes according to the set value, the ball payout rate may also change according to the set value. While the winning probability of the big win is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the big win game state may change according to the set value. The pachinko game machine 1 may be configured so as to be able to set one of a plurality of set values with different degrees of advantage for the player. The set values set in the pachinko game machine 1 are notified by transmitting a set value designation command from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table. Figure 7 (A) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special figure used when the variation special figure is the first special figure, and Figure 7 (B) shows that the variation special figure is the second special figure It shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used when it is a figure. A display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101 . In the display result determination table, the hit determination value compared with the random number MR1 is assigned to the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, according to the set value. The random number MR1 is a random number for determining the display result, and the value is randomly updated within the range of 0-65535. As the display result determination table, a common display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

As shown in FIG. 7 (A), when the variable special figure is the first special figure, the set value is 1 and when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values that are compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65535 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a variable probability state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. It should be noted that when the variable special figure is set to 2 to 6 in the first special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(A).

As shown in FIG. 7 (B), when the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure, the set value is 1, and if the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65425 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a variable probability state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. In addition, for the case where the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(B).

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit determination value assigned to "big hit" or "loss with time saving" in each display result determination table, as shown in FIG. In the first special figure display result determination table, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the big hit determination values for determining the big hit regardless of the set value.

In addition, when the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 In the case of set value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as a non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot determination value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range from 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range from 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range from 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, if the setting value is 1, the hit determination value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535, common While only numbers within the numerical range (1020-1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", if the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range among the jackpot determination values. A number within the range is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation judgment value is in a numerical range different from the range of the jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) of the previous set value 6, with 65317 as the reference value of the loss with time reduction (reference value with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65535 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. Set to a common numeric range.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 to setting In the case of value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot judgment value is the range of 1347 to 1383 for the setting value 2, the range of 1347 to 1429 for the setting value 3, the range 1347 to 1487 for the setting value 4, and the range 1347 to 1556 for the setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is a variable probability state, if the set value is 1, the common numerical range ( 1020 to 1346) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot determination values, the common numerical range plus the non-common numerical range A numerical value is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

In the second special figure display result determination table in the case where the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the big hit regardless of the set value. is set to a common numeric range for

In addition, when the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 In the case of set value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as a non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot determination value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range from 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range from 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range from 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the second special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the hit judgment values, only numbers within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot judgment values, the common numerical range Numbers within the range plus the non-common number range are assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65425 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation determination value is in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value of the setting value 6 (1020 to 1346), with 65317 as a reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65425 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the common numerical value of the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. set in the range. The characteristics of the other second special figure display result determination table are the same as those of the first special figure display result determination table.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, regardless of the set value, 65317 to When the range of 65535 is set in the common numerical range with time reduction and the deviation is the second special symbol, when the game state is the normal state and the time reduction state, the set value Regardless, the range of 65317 to 65425 is set as a common numerical range for time saving. In other words, when the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the rate at which the variable display result is not with the time saving is a common rate for any set value, so the gambling property depending on the set value can be prevented from becoming excessively high. In addition, for time-saving loss to which a common judgment value number is assigned for each set value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from 65317, which is the time-saving loss reference value, in any setting value, variable display It is possible to reduce the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination of the result as being out of time saving.

In this pachinko game machine 1, the number of setting values that can be set is 6 from 1 to 6, but the number of setting values that can be set in the pachinko game machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. . Also, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The jackpot type may be determined at different ratios depending on the set value based on the assignment of the determination value in the jackpot type determination table. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined at a common rate regardless of the set value. The variation pattern may be determined at different ratios according to the set values based on the assignment of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the variation pattern may be determined with a common ratio regardless of the set value. A set value may be suggested by the frequency with which normal reach and super reach are performed by having the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach differ according to a set value. Alternatively, regardless of the setting value, the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach may be common. In addition, it may be possible to execute arbitrary setting suggestion effects at different ratios according to the set values.

(Major operations of production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated, and the effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is executed. When the production control main process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the production control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, Perform register setting of the mounted CTC (counter/timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial motion control process, control for initial motion of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined motion, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to ON every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeated and waits.

Also, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that occurs each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is an interrupt generated when, for example, the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt prohibition, but when using a CPU that does not automatically enter an interrupt prohibition state, interrupt It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interruption caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port for receiving the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I/O 125 . The effect control command taken in at this time is stored in the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt process after setting the interrupt permission.

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

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

Random number update processing for production|presentation is performed following the production|presentation control process processing of step S76 (step S77), and at least one part of the random number for production|presentation used by the production|presentation control board 12 side is updated by software. After that, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be performed before returning to the processing of step S73.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process processing. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Also, a process for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S170 to S175 as described below according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command designating the start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11. and so on. When it is determined to start the variable display of the decoration pattern on the image display device 5, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the ready-to-win effect, and various other Whether or not to execute various effects such as advance notice effects, its mode, execution start timing, etc. are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

The effect process during variable display in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32, outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effects are controlled during the variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating to stop display of the fixed decorative pattern is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to the fact that the player has done so, the fixed decoration pattern which becomes the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the production process during variable display ends.

The special figure per waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving a performance control command designating the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4". Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command has elapsed without receiving the command designating the start of the jackpot game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the production process flag is set. is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big-hit production process, the production control CPU 120 sets, for example, production control patterns corresponding to the production contents in the big-hit game state, and executes various production controls in the big-hit game state based on the set contents. In the big-hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is set to "5", which is the value corresponding to the ending production process. ”, and ends the effect processing during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, effect control patterns corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the set contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

The command 8C02H is a third variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot B" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "unprobable variable big hit".

The command 8F00H is a pattern confirmation command for designating the stoppage (confirmation) of the decorative patterns in the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of the image display device 5 . The command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. FIG. In the game state designation command, different EXT data are set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. As a specific example, the command 9500H is the first game state designation command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time saving control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H is the time saving control. It is a second game state designation command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, short working time state) in which probability variation control is not performed while being performed. In addition, the command 9502H is the third game state designation command corresponding to the game state (high probability low base state, time saving no probability change state) where the time saving control is not performed while the probability change control is performed, and the command 9503H is time saving control and probability change It is a fourth game state designation command corresponding to the game state (high-probability-high base state, time-saving probability-variable state) in which control is performed together.

Command 9600H is, when the game state is a variable probability state (high probability high base state), the game state changes from the variable probability state to a low probability state (low probability high base state if this feature part 037SG), In other words, it is a probability variable fall notification command that notifies the end of the probability variable state (fall). Command 97XXH notifies the value of the time-saving variable display count counter indicating the number of variable displays in the time-saving state (high-base state) when the game state is the time-saving state (high-probability high base state and low-probability high base state). It is a time saving number notification command.

The command A0XXH is a win start specifying command (also called a "fanfare command") specifying display of an effect image indicating the start of a big win game. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is open in the jackpot gaming state. The command A2XXH is a post-opening notification command for the big winning opening to notify that the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big winning game state. The command A3XXH is a win end designation command for designating display of an effect image at the end of the big win game.

In the winning start designation command and the winning end designation command, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result. . Alternatively, in the winning start designation command and the winning end designation command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result designation command. . In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big winning opening, for example, corresponding to the number of rounds executed in the normal opening jackpot state and the high-speed opening jackpot state (for example, "1" to "10") to be described later, Different EXT data are set.

The command B100H is based on the fact that a game ball passing through (entering) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and a starting winning (first starting winning) occurs. It is a first start winning designation command for notifying that the first starting condition for executing the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball passing through (entering) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) occurs. , It is a second start winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

Command C1XXH is a first reserved storage number notification command for notifying the first special figure reserved storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure reserved storage number. Command C2XXH is a second pending storage number notification command for notifying the second special figure pending storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure pending storage number. The first pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied, when the first starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . The second pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied, when the second starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . In addition, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command are used when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the number of reserved memories decreases), the special game It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like.

Instead of the first reserved storage number notification command and the second reserved storage number notification command, a total reserved storage number notification command for notifying the total reserved storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command may be used to report an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number.

It should be noted that the commands shown in FIG. 11-3(A) are only examples, and some of these commands may be omitted, different commands may be used in place of these commands, and these commands may be used instead of these commands. You can add commands that are different from the commands in For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the game ball entering each prize hole, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41. You may make it provide the notification command etc. which notify the remaining frequency|count of a passage notification command, probability variation control, and time saving control to be performed.

FIG. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 11-4, in this characteristic portion 037SG, on the side of the main board 11, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, and the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination , the random number MR4 for normal map display result determination, and the random number MR5 for probability variation fall determination, are controlled to be countable. Random numbers other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data representing part or all of these random numbers MR1 to MR5. For example, the CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), to update various numerical data by software, thereby setting the random numbers MR1 to MR5. You may make it count the numerical data which show a part.

The random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a random number used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as the special figure in the special figure game as "big win" to the big win game state. It takes a value in the range from "1" to "65536". The random number MR2 for judging the type of jackpot is any one of "variable jackpot A", "variable jackpot B", "variable jackpot C", and "variable jackpot" when the variable display result is "jackpot". is a random value used to determine , and takes a value in the range of "1" to "100", for example.

The random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number used to determine one of a plurality of types prepared in advance for the variation pattern in the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols. 997”.

The random number MR4 for judging the result of normal pattern display is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal pattern display device 20 in the normal pattern display is "win" or "lose". It is a random number that can be set, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "13", for example.

Random value MR5 for probability variable fall determination ends the variable probability state (variable probability It is a random value used for determining whether or not to fall down), and takes a value in the range of "1" to "500", for example.

FIG. 11-5 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM101. In this feature part 037SG, as the special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure is used, but the present invention is not limited to this , Separate special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table is a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the determined special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not to control the variable display result as "big win" to the big win game state is determined based on the random number value MR1 for judging the special figure display result. It is a table where

In the special figure display result determination table in this feature part 037SG, depending on whether the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) or a variable probability state (high probability state), A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number MR1 for judging the figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "jackpot" or "loss".

In the special figure display result determination table, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment determines whether or not to control the special figure display result to the big hit game state as "big hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in this characteristic portion 037SG, when the gaming state is a probability variable state (high probability state), more determination values than when it is a normal state or time saving state (low probability state), It is assigned to the special figure display result of "jackpot". As a result, in the variable probability state (high probability state) where the variable probability control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state. Then, compared to the determined probability (approximately 1/300 in this characteristic portion 037SG), the probability of being determined when the special figure display result is set to "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state becomes higher (approximately 1 in this characteristic portion 037SG). /30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is a probability variable state (high probability state), it is determined to control to a big hit game state compared to the normal state or time saving state. Judgment data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control to the jackpot game state so as to increase the probability.

FIG. 11-5(B) shows a configuration example of the variable probability fall determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. The probability variable fall determination table controls the game state to a low probability state (low probability high base state) from the next variable display when the variable display result is lost in the probability variable state (also known as "winning the probability variable fall" is a table used for determining whether or not In the probability variable fall judgment table in this characteristic part 037SG, only the judgment value "1" is assigned to the winning of the probability variable fall among the range of 1 to 500 that the random number MR5 can take, and other numerical values ("2 ” to “500”) are assigned to the non-election of the variable fall. In other words, in the variable probability state in this characteristic part 037SG, the probability variable fall is won at a rate of 1/500 per one variable display.

FIG. 11-6(A) shows a configuration example of a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. The jackpot type determination table in the present characteristic portion 037SG selects any of a plurality of types of jackpot types based on the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is determined to control the special figure display result as "jackpot" to the jackpot game state. It is a table that is referenced to determine whether In the big hit type determination table, the special symbol for which variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second 2 special symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number MR2 for judging the type of jackpot is "non-probability variable jackpot", "probability variable jackpot A", " It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpots, such as "probability variable big hit B" and "probability variable big hit C".

Here, the jackpot type in this feature part 037SG will be described with reference to FIG. 11-6(B). "Probability variable jackpot A" and "probability variable jackpot B" which are executed and shift to a high probability high base state, and high probability low base state in which high probability control is executed after the end of the jackpot game state but time saving control is not executed. There are set a "probability variable big hit C" to shift and a "non-probability variable big hit" to shift to a low probability high base state by executing only time saving control after the end of the big win game state.

The jackpot game state by the "probability variable jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot in which 10 rounds (so-called 10 rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. On the other hand, the big-hit game state by the "probability variable big-hit B" is a normal open big-hit game in which five rounds (so-called five rounds) are repeated to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player. . The big win game state by the "probability variable big win C" is a normal open big win in which two rounds (so-called two rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. In addition, the big win game state by the "non-probability variable big win" is a normal open big win in which 10 rounds (so-called 10 rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. . Therefore, "variable big hit A" is called 10 rounds (10R) big hit, "variable big hit B" is called 5 rounds (5R) big hit, and "variable big hit C" is called 2 rounds (2R) big hit. may be called.

The high-precision control executed after the end of the jackpot game state of the variable probability big hit A to the variable probability big hit C is the special game that wins the fall lottery using the variable probability fall determination table shown in FIG. 11-5 (B) described above. It will continue running until it finishes. In addition, the time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the probability variable jackpot A to the probability variable jackpot C is performed before the 100th special game (variable display of special symbols) is executed after being controlled to the probability variable state. When the falling lottery is won, the special game is executed 100 times, or the big win game state is entered before the special game is executed 100 times. When the falling lottery is won in the 101st or later special game after being controlled to the variable probability state, the special game in which the falling lottery was won ends or the game ends with a big win game state. Therefore, when the reoccurring big hit is one of the probability variable jackpot A to the probability variable jackpot C, the high-accuracy control and the time-saving control are executed again after the jackpot game state ends, so the jackpot game state changes from the normal state. It becomes a so-called continuous state that occurs continuously without intervening.

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot game state by the "non-probable variable jackpot" is that the special game is executed 100 times, or the jackpot game is played before the special game of the predetermined number of times is executed. It ends by entering the state.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), depending on whether the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure or the second special figure, "probability variable jackpot A", " Allocation of determination values to the jackpot types of "probability variable jackpot B", "probability variable jackpot C", and "non-probability variable jackpot" is different. That is, if the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the judgment value in the predetermined range (the value in the range of "81" to "100") has a small number of rounds "variable hit B" or "variable probability While assigned to the jackpot type of "jackpot C", when the special figure displayed variably is the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" Not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the first start condition for starting the special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A. When the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition for starting the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. , the ratio of determining the jackpot type to the "probability variable big hit B" or "probability variable big hit C" with a small number of rounds can be made different. In particular, in the special game using the second special figure, it is not decided to control the big hit type as "probable variable big hit B" or "probable variable big hit C" to a big hit state with a small number of rounds. In a game state in which game balls are likely to enter the second starting winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B by the high opening control, the frequent occurrence of a big win state with few winning balls is avoided and the interest in the game is reduced. It is designed to prevent this from happening.

In addition, in the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), the allocation of the determination value for the "non-variable" jackpot type is the first special figure special figure game or the second special figure Since it is the same regardless of whether it is a non-variable jackpot or a definite variable jackpot, the probability is the same regardless of whether it is the first special game or the second special game. It is said that

Therefore, as described above, depending on whether the allocation of the determination value for "variable probability big hit B" or "variable probability big hit C" is different depending on whether it is a special game of the first special figure or a second special figure Then, the allocation of the judgment value for the "probable variable jackpot A" also differs depending on whether it is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is set to be easier to determine in the case of the special game of the special figure than in the case of the first special figure of the special game.

In addition, even in the case of the special game of the second special figure, the judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special game of the first special figure is the "variable probability big hit B" or "variable probability big hit C". You may make it assign to a classification. For example, in the case of the special game of the second special, the judgment value less than that of the special game of the first special is the big hit type of "probable variable big hit B" or "probable variable big hit C". may be assigned. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to common table data regardless of whether the game is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

FIG. 11-7 shows the variation pattern in this characteristic portion 037SG. In this characteristic portion 037SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "missing", the variable A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the display result is a "big hit". In addition, the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"), A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "lost" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Also, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the loss variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss". A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern.

The jackpot variation pattern and reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed and a super reach variation pattern in which a super reach reach effect is executed. Although one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided in this characteristic portion 037SG, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types of normal reach variation patterns may be provided. In addition, in this characteristic portion 037SG, four types of variation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ are provided as super reach variation patterns, but the present invention is not limited to this. , 5 types or more or only 3 types or less of super reach fluctuation patterns may be provided.

In addition, the super reach variation pattern in this characteristic part 037SG is a variation pattern (PA2-2) that is different from the variation pattern (PB1-2) that the variable display result becomes a big hit as a variation pattern of super reach α, A variation pattern (PB1-3) where the variable display result is a big hit as the variation pattern (PA2-3) where the variable display result is a big hit, and a variation pattern (PB1-4) where the variable display result is a big hit as the variation pattern of super reach γ There are provided a variation pattern (PA2-4) that deviates from the super reach δ, and a variation pattern (PA2-5) that deviates from the variation pattern (PB1-5) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a variation pattern of super reach δ.

In addition, the super reach γ variation pattern is a variation pattern in which a variable display result is notified by executing a variable fall suggestion effect that suggests that the fall lottery has been won as a reach effect of the super reach γ, and the super reach δ. As for the variation pattern, as the reach effect of super reach γ, a variable fall suggestion effect that suggests that the fall lottery has been won is executed, and the fact that the fall lottery has been won is once notified, and then as the reach effect of super reach δ, This is a variation pattern for executing a resurrection suggesting effect suggesting that the variable display result is a big hit, and announcing the variable display result.

As shown in FIG. 11-7, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in this characteristic portion 037SG is executed is set shorter than the super reach fluctuation pattern.

In addition, in this characteristic part 037SG, since it is set so that the degree of expectation for a big hit becomes high when the variable display result is "big hit" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach, in the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern The longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, as described later, these variation patterns are determined using only the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. , For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the type of variation pattern is provided, and the type of variation pattern is first determined from the random value for determining the type of variation pattern, and then the A variation pattern belonging to the determined type may be determined.

By doing so, it is possible to create a variation pattern that can be easily determined for each big win type, so that the player can be made to pay attention to which variation pattern variable display results in a big win. It can improve amusement interest.

FIG. 11-9 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S110 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 11-9, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special symbol pending storage number is "0" (step 037SGS141). The number of second special symbol pending storage is the number of pending storage of the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the processing of step 037 SGS141, it is sufficient to read out the second reserved storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting section and determine whether or not the read value is "0".

At step 037SGS141, when the second special figure pending storage number is other than "0" (step 037SGS141; N), the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the second special figure pending storage unit As, the numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, and the random number MR5 for probability variation fall determination are read out (step 037 SGS142). . The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Subsequent to the processing of step 037 SGS142, by subtracting 1 from the second special figure reserved memory number count value and the total reserved memory number count value and updating it, subtract 1 from the second special figure reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number Update so as to allow, and update the data of the second special figure reservation storage unit. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the second special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 037 SGS143).

Then, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "2" (step 037SGS144), it moves to step 037SGS149a.

On the other hand, at step 037SGS141, when the second special figure pending memory number is "0" (step 037SGS141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure pending memory number is "0" (step 037SGS145). . The number of first special figure reserved storage is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step 037 SGS145, if the game control counter setting unit reads the first reserved memory number count value stored in the first reserved memory number counter and determines whether or not the read value is "0" good. Thus, the process of step 037SGS145 is executed when it is determined that the second special figure pending storage number is "0" at step 037SGS141, and the first special figure pending storage number is "0". Determine whether or not As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

In addition, the special game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure. Execution of the special figure game may be started in the order in which the game ball enters (passes) and the starting prize is generated. In this case, a table is provided for storing data capable of specifying the order in which the starting prizes are generated, and execution of the special figure game using either the first special figure or the second special figure is started from the stored data. It should be possible to determine whether

When the first special figure pending storage number is other than "0" at step 037SGS145 (step 037SGS145; N), the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the first special figure pending storage unit Random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, and random number MR5 for probability variation fall determination are read out respectively (step 037 SGS146). . The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Subsequent to the processing of step 037 SGS146, by subtracting 1 from the 1st special figure pending memory number count value and the total pending memory number count value and updating it, etc., subtract 1 from the 1st special figure pending memory number and the total pending memory number. Update so as to allow, and update the data in the first special figure reservation storage unit. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the first special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 037 SGS147).

Then, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "1" (step 037SGS148), it moves to step 037SGS149a.

In step 037SGS149a, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is ON (step 037SGS149a). If the time saving flag is on (step 037SGS149a; Y), the value of the time saving variable display number counter indicating the number of times of variable display in the time saving state is +1 and the process proceeds to step 037SGS149c (step 037SGS149b), if the time saving flag is off (Step 037SGS149a; N) goes to Step 037SGS149c without going through Step 037SGS149b.

In step 037 SGS149c, the special symbol display result judgment shown in FIG. Select and set a table. Subsequently, numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment stored in the variable random number buffer is compared with the judgment value assigned to each special figure display result of "big hit" or "loss" , determines whether the special figure display result is a "jackpot" or "loss" (step 037 SGS150a). In addition, in this step 037 SGS150a, if the game state at that time is a high probability state (variable probability state) in which the variable probability flag is on, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a high probability state (variable probability state ), it is determined as a “big hit” if it falls within the range of 10000 to 12180, and if not, it is determined as a “loss”. Also, if the probability variable flag is off low probability state (low probability low base state if this characteristic part), if the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination falls within the range of 1 to 219, "big hit ”, and if not applicable, it is determined as “missing”.

Thus, in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected in step 037SGS149c, different determination values corresponding to the game state at that time (high probability, low probability) are assigned to "big hit". , in the process of step 037 SGS150a, depending on whether the gaming state when the variable display of the special game or the like is started is a high probability state, using different determination data (determination value) special figure display result is determined to be a ``big hit'', when the game state is a high-probability state, it is determined (determined) as a ``big hit'' with a higher probability than when it is a low-probability state.

When it is judged to be a "jackpot" at step 037SGS150a (step 037SGS150a; Y), the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6(A) is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types (step 037 SGS153). By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in this way, numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination stored in the variable random number buffer, and "non-probability variable jackpot", "probability variable jackpot" in the jackpot type determination table A”, “probability variable jackpot B”, “probability variable jackpot C”, which of the judgment values assigned to each jackpot type matches, determines which of a plurality of types the jackpot type should be (step 037 SGS 154 ).

By determining the jackpot type in the processing of step 037 SGS154, the game state after the end of the jackpot game state is changed to a time-saving state (low probability high base state) and a probability variable state ( Which game state is to be controlled from among the high-probability-high base state) is determined before deriving the fixed special symbol as a variable display result. Corresponding to the determined jackpot type, for example, by setting the jackpot type buffer value, which is the stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (step 037 SGS155), the determined jackpot type Remember. As an example, if the jackpot type is "non-probable variable big hit" corresponding to non-probable variable big hit, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "0", and if it is "probable variable A" corresponding to probability variable big hit A, it is set to "1". If it is "variable probability B" corresponding to B, it is "2", and if it is "variable probability C" that corresponds to variable probability big hit C, it is "3". After the processing of step 037SGS155, the process proceeds to step 037SGS156.

Moreover, when it is determined to be "missed" at step 037SGS150a (step 037SGS150a; N), it is determined whether or not the variable probability flag is on (step 037SGS150b). If the variable probability flag is off (step 037SGS150b; N), proceed to step 037SGS156, and if the variable probability flag is on (step 037SGS150b; Y), select the fall determination table shown in FIG. set. Then, the numerical data of the random number MR5 for judging the variable drop is compared with each judgment value assigned to "winning" and "non-winning", and the result of the variable falling lottery is determined to be either "winning" or "non-winning". (Step 037SGS150c). If the probability variable drop lottery is not won (step 037SGS150c; N), proceed to step 037SGS156, and if the probability variable drop lottery is won (step 037SGS150c; Y), turn on the fall winning flag indicating that the probability variable drop lottery has been won. (Step 037SGS151a), the transmission setting of the fall notification command is performed, and the process proceeds to Step 037SGS156 (Step 037SGS151b).

In addition, the falling notification command set for transmission in step 037 SGS151b is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control processing shown in FIG.

In step 037 SGS156, the CPU 103 corresponds to the pre-determination result of whether or not to control to the big hit game state (whether or not the big hit flag is turned on), and the decision result of the big hit type in the case of setting it to the big win game state. , Set a fixed special pattern. As an example, in response to the pre-determined result that the special figure display result is to be "missed", a special symbol indicating a sign of "-", which is a lost symbol, is set as a fixed special symbol. Also, when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" at step 037SGS150a, if the big hit type at step 037SGS154 is "probability variable big hit A", a special symbol showing the number "7" is displayed. Set as a fixed special pattern. In addition, when the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot B", a special symbol indicating the number "5" is set as the fixed special symbol. In addition, when the jackpot type is "non-probability variable jackpot", a special symbol indicating the number "3" is set as a fixed special symbol. Further, when the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C", the special symbol indicating the number "1" is set as the fixed special symbol. Incidentally, these fixed special symbols are examples, and fixed special symbols other than these may be set, and a plurality of types of symbols may be set as the fixed special symbols.

After setting the fixed special symbol in step 037SGS156, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "1" which is the value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step 037SGS157), the special symbol normal process is terminated. .

It should be noted that when the reserved memory number of the special game using the first special figure in step 037SGS145 is "0" (step 037SGS145; Y), after performing a predetermined demonstration display setting (step 037SGS158), End the special symbol normal process. In this demonstration display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo designation command) for designating a demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 is transmitted from the main board 11 to effect control. It is determined whether or not the transmission to the substrate 12 has been completed. At this time, if the customer waiting demonstration designation command has already been transmitted, the demonstration display setting is finished as it is. On the other hand, if the command has not been transmitted, the setting for transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed, and then the demonstration display setting is completed.

11-10 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 6 as the variation pattern setting process. In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 11-10, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS161). Then, if the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS161; Y), it is further determined whether or not the time saving flag is turned on (step 037SGS162a). When the time saving flag is in the off state (step 037SGS162a; N), select the big hit variation pattern determination table A and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS164).

Also, if the time saving flag is on (step 037 SGS162a; Y), whether the value of the time saving variable display number counter is 101 or more, that is, the variable display after 101 times in the time saving state including the probability variable state It is determined whether or not it is a variable display (step 037SGS162b). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 or less (step 037SGS162b; N), it is further determined whether the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 (step 037SGS162c). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 99 or less, that is, if the variable display is the 1st to 99th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037 SGS162c; N), the big hit variation pattern determination table B Select and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163a). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100, that is, if the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037 SGS162c; Y), the big hit variation pattern determination table C Select and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163b).

Also, when the value of the time-saving variable display frequency counter is 101 or more at step 037SGS162b (step 037SGS162b; Y), select the big hit variation pattern determination table D and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163c).

In the determination at step 037SGS161, if the big hit flag is not turned on (step 037SGS161; N), by determining whether the time saving flag is turned on, the game state is a variable probability state or a time saving state. It is determined whether or not time saving control is being performed (step 037SGS165a). Then, if the time saving flag is turned on (step 037SGS165a; Y), it is determined whether or not the value of the time saving variable display frequency counter is 101 or more (step 037SGS165b). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 or less, it is further determined whether or not the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 (step 037SG165c). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 99 or less, that is, if the variable display is the 1st to 99th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037SGS165c; N), variation pattern determination for loss Select table D and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS166a).

If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 in step 037SGS165c, that is, if the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037SGS165c; Y), variation pattern determination for loss Select table E and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS166b).

Also, if the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 101 or more in step 037SGS165b, that is, if the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037SGS165b; Y), the fall It is determined whether or not the win flag is on (step 037 SGS167). If the fall winning flag is ON, that is, if it is determined that the probability variation flag will be OFF at the end of the variable display (step 037 SGS167; Y), select the variation pattern determination table F for losing and step Go to 037SGS175 (step 037SGS168a). Also, when the falling winning flag is in the OFF state (step 037SGS167; N), select the variation pattern determination table G for losing and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS168b).

Also, if the time saving flag is off in step 037SGS165a (step 037SGS165a; N), for example provided in the game control counter setting unit, such as by reading the stored value of the variable special figure pending storage number counter, change The reserved memory number of the special figure is specified, and it is determined whether or not the reserved memory number of the specified fluctuation special figure is 1 or 2 (step 037 SGS170).

If the number of pending memories of the specified fluctuation special figure is 1 or 2 (step 037 SGS170; N), the fluctuation pattern judgment table A for loss is used as a table used for determining one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns. Select and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS171).

In addition, when the reserved storage number of the specified fluctuation special figure is not 1 or 2 (step 037SGS170; N), it is further determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the specified fluctuation special figure is 3 (step 037SGS172 ).

If the number of pending memories of the specified fluctuation special figure is 3 (step 037 SGS172; Y), the fluctuation pattern determination table B for loss is selected as the table used for determining one of the plurality of types of fluctuation patterns. Then, the process proceeds to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS173).

In addition, if the number of reserved storage of the specified fluctuation special figure is not 3, that is, if the number of reserved storage of the specified fluctuation special figure is 4 (step 037 SGS172; N), the variation pattern is any of a plurality of types As a table to be used for determining , change pattern determination table C for loss is selected, and the process proceeds to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS174).

In the process of step 037 SGS175, for example, based on the numerical data indicating the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern stored in the random number buffer for variation, etc., the variation pattern determination table for the big hit or the variation pattern for the loss is selected (set) By referring to the determination table, one of a plurality of types of variation patterns is determined (step 037SGS175).

Incidentally, when the big hit flag is off, it is determined whether or not the variable display mode of the decoration pattern is set to "reach" by determining the variation pattern in the process of step 037SGS175. That is, the process of step 037 SGS170 includes the process of determining whether or not the variable display state of the decoration pattern should be the ready-to-win state when the variable display result is "loss".

After determining the variation pattern in step 037SGS175, in accordance with the variation special symbol designation buffer value, the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A, and the second special symbol display device 4B The setting for starting the variation of the special symbol is performed so as to start any of the special symbol games using the second special symbol (step 037SGS176). As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the setting for transmitting the drive signal to update the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed.

Following the processing of step 037SGS176, settings are made for transmitting various commands for when the special symbols start to fluctuate (step 037SGS177). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103, from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12, the game state designation command, the first variable display start command, the fluctuation pattern designation command, the variable display In order to sequentially transmit the result designation command, the time saving number notification command, and the first pending storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address (top address) in the ROM 101 of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance, Stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 sends the game state designation command, the second variable display start command, the fluctuation pattern designation command, and the variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the result designation command and the second pending storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is provided in the game control buffer setting unit. Store in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer.

After executing the process of step 037SGS177, the special figure fluctuation time which is the variable display time of the special symbol according to the determination result of the fluctuation pattern is set (step 037SGS178). The special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is the required time from the start of the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the fixed special symbol, which is the variable display result (special symbol display result), is stopped and displayed. It's time. Thereafter, after updating the value of the special figure process flag to "2" which is the value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (step 037 SGS179), the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

Based on the command transmission setting in step 037SGS177, every time the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. A designation command, a first variable display start command or a second variable display start command, a variation pattern designation command, a variable display result designation command, a first reserved memory number notification command or a second reserved memory number notification command are sequentially transmitted. It will be. The order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be arbitrarily changed. The commands may be transmitted in the order of the designation command, the game state designation command, the first reserved memory count notification command, or the second reserved memory count notification command.

FIG. 11-11 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 turns on the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation processing of step S112 to end the variation of the special symbols, and the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B Control is performed to stop and display the stop symbol (step 037 SGS180). In addition, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "1" indicating the first special figure, the fluctuation of the first special design in the first special design display device 4A is ended, and the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is When it is "2" indicating the second special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B is terminated. In addition, the control which transmits the design decision command to production control board 12 is done (step 037SGS181).

Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037 SGS182). When the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS182; Y), the CPU 103 clears the probability variable flag and the time reduction flag to turn them off (step 037SGS184). , a winning start 1 designation command (probability variable jackpot A), a winning start 2 designation command (probability variable jackpot B), a winning start 3 designation command (probability variable jackpot C), according to the type of jackpot stored in the performance control board 12, The setting for transmitting the hit start 4 designation command (non-probable variation) is performed (step 037 SGS185).

Furthermore, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a game state specifying command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (step 037 SGS186).

Then, a value corresponding to the big win display time (for example, the time for notifying the occurrence of the big win in the image display device 5) is set in the big win display time timer (step 037 SGS187). In addition, the number of openings (for example, 10 times in the case of a non-probability variable jackpot or a probability variable jackpot A, 5 times in the case of a probability variable jackpot B, and 2 times in the case of a probability variable jackpot C) is set in the big winning opening opening counter. (step 037 SGS188). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" (step 037 SGS189) corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (step S114), and the special symbol stop process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off (step 037SGS182; N), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the falling winning flag is on (step 037SGS190a). When the falling winning flag is on (step 037SGS190a; Y), the falling winning flag is turned off, the variable probability flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to step 037SGS191 (steps 037SGS190b, step 037SGS190c). If the falling winning flag is off (step 037SGS190a; N), the process proceeds to step 037SGS191 without executing the processes of steps 037SGS190b and 037SGS190c.

At step 037SGS191, the CPU 103 determines whether or not any numerical value is set in the time reduction variable display counter (step 037SGS191). If no value is set in the time-saving variable display number counter, that is, if it is not a time-saving state including a variable probability state (step 037SGS191; N), proceed to step 037SGS195, and any value is set in the time-saving variable display number counter If it is set (step 037SGS191; Y), the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is incremented by 1 (step 037SGS192), and it is determined whether the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 or more (step 037SGS193). ). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 99 or less (step 037SGS193; N), proceed to step 037SGS195. It is determined whether or not it is off (step 037SGS193a).

If the variable probability flag is on (step 037SGS193a; Y), proceed to step 037SGS195, and if the variable probability flag is off (step 037SGS193a; Y), turn off the time saving flag and clear the time saving variable display counter ( Go to step 037SGS194, step 037SGS194a), step 037SGS195.

In the process of step 037 SGS195, the transmission setting of the game state designation command corresponding to the game state (specifically, the low probability low base state) corresponding to the state of the variable probability flag or the time saving flag is set (step 037 SGS196). Then, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, the special symbol stop processing is terminated (step 037SGS196).

11-12 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 6 as the jackpot ending process.

In the jackpot end processing, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer is in operation, that is, the timer is counting (step 037 SGS201). When the jackpot end display timer is not in operation (step 037SGS201; N), the value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time (jackpot end display time) for displaying the jackpot end display on the image display device 5. is set (step 037 SGS202), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the jackpot end display timer is in operation (step 037SGS201; Y), the value of the jackpot end display timer is subtracted by 1 (step 037SGS203). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the big win end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the big win end display time has elapsed (step 037 SGS204). If it has not passed, the process is terminated.

If the jackpot end display time has passed (step 037SGS204; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the stored jackpot type is non-probability variable jackpot (step 037SGS205).

If the stored jackpot type is not a non-probability variation jackpot (step 037SGS205; N), the probability variation flag is turned on (step 037SGS207), the time reduction flag is turned on (step 037SGS208), and the time reduction variable display number counter is set to " 0" is set (step 037SGS212), the process proceeds to step 037SGS213.

On the other hand, when the jackpot type is a non-probability variable jackpot (step 037SGS205; Y), by executing steps 037SGS211 and 037SGS212, the time saving flag is turned on and the time saving variable display number counter is set to "0". is set, the process proceeds to step 037 SGS213.

In step 037SGS213, the jackpot flag is turned off, and transmission setting of a jackpot end designation command corresponding to the jackpot type is performed (step 037SGS214). Then, after setting the transmission setting of the game state designation command for notifying the effect control board 12 of the game state based on the probability variable flag and the time saving flag that are turned on (step 037 SGS215), the value of the special process flag is changed to a special It is updated to "0" which is a value corresponding to the symbol normal processing (step 037 SGS216).

Next, operation|movement of CPU120 for production|presentation control is demonstrated. 11-13 and 11-14 are flowcharts showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is ON (step 037SGS271). If the first variable display start command reception flag is in the ON state (step 037SGS271; Y), for example, the buffer number "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure reservation storage in the start winning time reception command buffer , are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 037 SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off at step 037SGS271 (step 037SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 037SGS273). If the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 037SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and if the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 037SGS273; Y ), for example, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure reservation storage in the start winning command buffer, buffer number 1 It is shifted upward by one piece (step 037SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

After executing step 037SGS272 or step 037SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 037SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop design) of the decorative design is determined according to the data stored in the display result designating command storage area (that is, the received display result designating command) and the variation pattern (step 037SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop pattern of the decorative pattern corresponding to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores the data indicating the stop pattern of the determined decorative pattern in the decorative pattern display result storage area. do.

In addition, in this characteristic part 037SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variable jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, determines that the three symbols are "7" as the stop symbols. ”Determines a combination of matching decorative patterns (jackpot pattern). In addition, when the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variable jackpot B or the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variable jackpot C, as a stop symbol , and a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, combinations of decorative symbols such as "111", "333", "555", and "999"). In addition, when the received variable display result designation command is the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the non-probability variable jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 may, for example, select a decorative pattern in which three patterns are even-numbered patterns as the stop pattern. Determine the combination (jackpot pattern). Further, if the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the non-reach variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as the stop symbols. A combination of symbols (lost symbols) is determined. Further, if the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the reach variation pattern, the left and right symbols are the same as the stop symbol, but the middle A combination of reach-losses with different symbols (losing symbols) is determined.

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

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variation pattern designation command read in step 037SGS275 is the variation pattern designation command of super reach γ or super reach δ (step 037SGS277). If the variation pattern specification command read in step 037SGS275 is other than the super reach γ or super reach δ variation pattern specification command (step 037SGS277; N), select the process table according to the variation pattern (step 037SGS278), process A timer is started (step 037SGS279).

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

Next, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display as a component for effect) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The device 5, various lamps as performance parts, speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (step 037 SGS280). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the variation pattern on the image display device 5 . It also outputs a control signal (lamp control execution data) to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting/extinguishing of various lamps. Also, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13 in order to output audio from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Then, a variable display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variation pattern designation command (step 037SGS281). Also, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 037SGS282). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 writes to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data obtained is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing variable display (fluctuation) of the decoration pattern. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 037SGS283).

In step 037SGS277, if the variation pattern specification command read in step 037SGS275 is a super reach γ or super reach δ variation pattern specification command (step 037SGS277; Y), the read variation pattern specification command is super reach It is determined whether or not it is a γ variation pattern specification command (step 037 SGS291).

If the read variation pattern specification command is a super reach γ variation pattern specification command (step 037 SGS291; Y), for example, from the time saving number of times notification command to a high base state (time saving state including probability variable state) Variable display in The number of times is specified, and it is determined whether or not the variable display is the 100th variable display in the high base state (step 037 SGS292). If the variable display is the 100th variable display in the high base state (step 037SGS292; Y), it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS293). If the variable display result is a loss (step 037SGS293; N), it is further determined whether or not the game state is a probability variable state (step 037SGS294). If the game state is not the probability variable state, that is, if the game state is the low probability high base state (step 037 SGS294; N), it is the 100th variable display of the high base state and the fall notification according to the fluctuation pattern select the process table for use and proceed to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS295).

Also, if the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS293; Y) or if the gaming state is a probability variable state (high probability high base state) (step 037SGS294; Y), the 100th variable display of the high base state , and the process table for probability variation continuation/jackpot notification according to the variation pattern is selected, and the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS296).

Also, in the processing of step 037SGS292, if the variable display is not the 100th variable display in the high base state (the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state) (step 037SGS292; N), the effect The control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the chance-up effect according to the result of the variable display, and stores it (step 037SGS297).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-15(A), when the result of the variable display is a big hit, it is determined that the chance-up effect is not executed at a rate of 70%, and the chance-up effect is executed for 30%. Determined by percentage. On the other hand, if the result of the variable display is a loss, non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 100%. In other words, the chance-up effect in the characteristic portion 037SG is a effect that notifies that the variable display result is a big hit by being executed during the variable display, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable By providing a case where the chance-up performance is executed even when the display result is a loss, the chance-up performance is executed during the variable display to suggest that the variable display result is a big win. good too.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 11-17(B), the chance-up effect in this characteristic part 037SG is an effect that can be executed during the execution period of the ready-to-win effect of super reach, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the chance-up effect may be executable outside the execution period of the reach effect of super reach.

Returning to FIG. 11-14, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit at step 037SGS298 (step 037SGS298). If the result of the variable display is a failure (step 037SG298; N), the fall notification process table is selected according to the variable display after the 101st variable display in the high base state and the variation pattern, and step 037SG279. (Step 037SGS299). If the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS298; Y), it is further determined whether or not execution of the chance-up effect is determined (step 037SGS300).

If it is decided to execute the chance-up production (step 037 SGS300; Y), the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state, and the probability change according to the execution and variation pattern of the chance-up production. Select the process table for continuation/jackpot notification and proceed to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS301). If the non-execution of the chance-up effect has been determined (step 037 SGS300; N), the variable display is the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, and according to the non-execution and variation pattern of the chance-up effect. Select the process table for the probability variation fall notification and proceed to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS302).

In addition, in the process of step 037SGS291, the effect control CPU 120 executes the resurrection suggestion effect according to the variable display result when the read variation pattern specification command is the super reach δ variation pattern specification command (step 037SGS291; N). A character to be displayed at the hour is determined, and the determined character is stored (step 037 SGS303).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-15(B), when the result of the variable display is a big hit, the display character during execution of the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be character A at a rate of 30%, and character A at a rate of 70%. character B at a ratio of On the other hand, if the variable display result is a loss, that is, if the odds drop is won, the display character during execution of the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be character A at a rate of 70%, and at a rate of 30%. Decide on character B. That is, in the present characteristic part 037SG, when the character B is displayed during the execution of the resurrection effect, the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit (percentage of the variable probability state not falling) than when the character A is displayed during the execution of the resurrection effect. is set high.

In addition, the resurrection effect in this characteristic part 037SG is that after once the probability variable fall is notified as the reach effect of the super reach γ, the variable display result is a big hit as the reach effect of the super reach δ (the variable display result is a big hit It is an effect that suggests that it is controlled again to the variable probability state after the end of the big hit game.

The effect control CPU 120 also determines and stores the lamps to be turned on during execution of the resurrection suggestive effect according to the result of the variable display (step 037 SGS304). For example, as shown in FIG. 11-15(C), when the variable display result is a big hit, the lamps to be lit during execution of the resurrection suggestion effect are the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp at a rate of 30%. Only the body lamp 9f and the third decoration lamp 9g are decided, and the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, the third decoration lamp 9g and the movable lamp 9d are decided at a rate of 70%. On the other hand, if the variable display result is a loss, that is, if the probability variable fall is won, the lighting target lamps at the time of execution of the resurrection suggestion effect are the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration at a rate of 70%. Only the body lamp 9f and the third decoration lamp 9g are decided, and the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, the third decoration lamp 9g and the movable lamp 9d are decided at a rate of 30%.

That is, as the resurrection effect in this characteristic portion 037SG, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g are turned on, and the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration lamp 9g are turned on. 9f, by turning on the movable lamp 9d in addition to the third decoration lamp 9g, the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit is higher than when the movable lamp 9d is not turned on.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines and stores the light emitting color when executing the second light emitting effect according to the result of the variable display. As shown in FIGS. 11-20 and 11-39, the second luminous effect means displaying a luminous effect image 037SG005E on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the resurrection suggestive effect, and displaying the luminous effect image 037SG005E. This is an effect that suggests that the variable display result is a big hit depending on the color.

As shown in FIG. 11-15(D), when the variable display result is a big hit, the emission color of the second emission effect is determined to be white at a rate of 10% and red at a rate of 90%. Further, when the variable display result is a failure, the emission color of the second emission effect is determined to be white at a rate of 90% and red at a rate of 10%. That is, in the characteristic portion 037SG, when the emission color of the second emission effect (display color of the emission effect image 037SG005E) is red, the emission color of the second emission effect (display color of the emission effect image 037SG005E) is white. The ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit is set higher than in the case of .

Returning to FIGS. 11-14, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step 037 SGS306). If the variable display result is out (step 037SGS306; N), select the variable pattern and the display character determined in steps 037SGS303 to step 037SGS306, the lamp to be lit, and the process table for probable fall notification according to the emission color. Go to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS307). In addition, when the variable display result is a big hit (step 037SGS306; Y), select the variable pattern and the display character determined in steps 037SGS303 to step 037SGS306, the lamp to be lit, and the process table for definite variable fall notification according to the emission color. Then, the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS308).

When the processing of steps 037SGS291 to step 037SGS308 shown in FIG. 11-14 is executed and the processing proceeds to step 037SGS279, the processing of steps 037SGS279 to step 037SGS283 shown in FIG. 11-13 is executed to perform the variable display start setting processing. You should finish. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the process timer by -1 each time the effect process during variable display is executed, and controls the effect device according to the content of the process data corresponding to the value of the process timer. Just do it.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-16(A) and 11-16(B), the display control unit 123 in the feature unit 037SG draws images on a plurality of layers, and the layers on which these images are drawn are displayed. An image to be displayed on the image display device 5 is created by synthesizing. For example, the layers on which the display control unit 123 draws an image include layer 1, layer 2 which is a layer lower than layer 1, layer 3 which is a layer lower than layer 2, and layer 4 which is a layer lower than layer 3. , Layer 5, which is a lower layer than Layer 4, is provided.

Of these multiple layers, layer 1 displays the number of pending memories, pending display, small patterns, etc., and layer 2 is a light emitting effect image displayed during the first light emitting effect and the second light emitting effect, which will be described later. 037SG005E is drawn, the decoration pattern is drawn on the layer 3, the effect image excluding the decoration pattern is drawn on the layer 4, and the background image is drawn on the layer 5. In other words, in the image display device 5 in the characteristic part 037SG, the image of the information related to the game (image of the game-related information) such as the display of the number of reserved memories, the reserved display, and the small symbols is set as an image to be displayed with the highest priority. In addition, it is possible to hide decorative patterns, other production images, and background images with the light emission effect image 037SG005E.

Next, FIG. 11 about the reach effect of super reach γ (variable fall suggestion effect) and the reach effect of super reach δ (resurrection suggestion effect) that can be executed in the high base state (variable probability state or time saving state) in this characteristic part 037SG. -17 and FIGS. 11-20.

First, as shown in FIG. 11-17(A), the reach performance of super reach γ (probable variable fall suggestive performance) executed at the 100th variable display in the high base state is started from the start timing of the reach performance. a front-stage production A that starts at the end of the front-stage production A, a middle-stage production A that starts at the end of the front-stage production A, a rear-stage production that starts at the end of the middle-stage production A, and a fall suggestion result that starts at the end of the rear-stage production and a notification presentation. Note that the variable display result is displayed on the image display device 5 from the end of the ready-to-win effect of super reach γ to the stop timing of the variable display.

In addition, the pre-stage effect A includes a title display effect in which the title of the ready-to-win effect of the super reach γ is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and a title display effect in the display area of the image display device 5 from the end of the title display effect. A total of three effects are included, namely, an enemy character emphasizing effect for emphasizing an enemy character, and an ally character emphasizing effect for emphasizing an ally character in the display area of the image display device 5 from the end of the target character emphasizing effect. I'm in.

In addition, the middle-stage production A consists of a first middle-stage production, a second middle-stage production that starts when the first middle-stage production ends, and a third middle-stage production that starts when the second middle-stage production ends. Includes 3 performances. Then, the latter-stage production includes a first latter-stage production, a second latter-stage production that starts when the first latter-stage production ends, a third latter-stage production that starts when the second latter-stage production ends, and the second latter-stage production that starts when the second latter-stage production ends. 3 It is an effect that is started at the end of the latter stage effect, and includes a total of four effects including the first light effect that displays the light effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5 .

Here, the length of the presentation period of the front stage presentation A is L1, the length of the presentation period of the middle stage presentation A is L2, the length of the presentation period of the rear stage presentation is L3, and the length of the presentation period of the first middle stage presentation is L11, the length of the effect period of the second middle stage effect L12, the length of the effect period of the third middle stage effect L13, the length of the effect period of the first later stage effect L21, the length of the effect period of the second later stage effect Assuming that the height is L22 and the length of the effect period of the third rear stage effect is L23, the middle stage effect A and the latter stage effect are set to have a longer effect period than the front stage effect A. That is, the effect image of the middle stage effect A and the effect image of the latter stage effect are set to be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 for a longer period of time than the effect image of the former stage effect A (L2 >L1, L3>L1).

Further, the second middle stage effect is set to have a longer effect period than the first middle stage effect, and is set to have a shorter effect period than the third middle stage effect. That is, in the middle stage effect A, the effect image of the first middle stage effect has the shortest display period in the display area of the image display device 5, and the effect image of the third middle stage effect has the shortest display period in the display area of the image display device 5. It is set long (L13>L12>11). In other words, the display period of each effect image of the first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, and the third middle stage effect is set longer as the middle stage effect A is closer to the end.

In addition, the second rear-stage production is set to have a longer production period than the first rear-stage production, and is set to have a shorter production period than the third rear-stage production. In other words, in the latter-stage production, the effect image of the first latter-stage effect has the shortest display period in the display area of the image display device 5, and the display period of the third latter-stage effect image in the display area of the image display device 5 is the longest. It is set (L23>L22>21). In other words, the display period of each effect image of the first rear effect, the second rear effect, and the third rear effect is set longer as the end of the latter effect is closer.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-17(B), the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state is the pre-stage effect B that starts at the start timing of the ready-to-win effect. a middle-stage performance B that starts when the front-stage performance B ends, a rear-stage performance that starts when the middle-stage performance B ends, and a fall suggestion result notification performance that starts when the latter-stage performance ends; contains. Note that the variable display result is displayed on the image display device 5 from the end of the ready-to-win effect of super reach γ to the stop timing of the variable display.

The pre-stage effect B includes a total of five effects including the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect. The pre-stage effect B is set such that after the first additional effect is executed, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect are executed in this order.

The middle stage effect B includes a total of four effects, ie, the third additional effect, the above-described first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, and the third middle stage effect. The middle stage effect B is set so that the first middle stage effect, the first middle stage effect, and the first middle stage effect are executed after the third additional effect is executed. Also, the execution period of the third additional effect includes a chance-up effect executable period in which the chance-up effect can be executed.

Incidentally, the latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-17(B) has the same production contents and production period as the latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-17(A).

Here, assuming that the length of the effect period of the front stage effect B is L4 and the length of the effect period of the middle stage effect B is L5, the middle stage effect B and the rear stage effect are set to have a longer effect period than the front stage effect B. there is That is, the effect image of the middle stage effect B and the effect image of the latter stage effect are set to be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 for a longer period of time than the effect image of the former stage effect B (L3 >L4, L5>L4).

Furthermore, if the length of the effect period of the first additional effect in the preceding stage effect B is L41, and the length of the effect period of the second additional effect is L42, the effect period of the first additional effect is longer than that of the second additional effect. In addition, the first additional effect is set to have a longer effect period than the preceding stage effect A (title display effect, enemy character emphasizing effect, ally character emphasizing effect). That is, for the three effects of the pre-stage effect A, the first additional effect, and the second additional effect, the display period of the effect image of the pre-stage effect A is set to be the longest, and the display period of the effect image of the second additional effect is set. is set to be the shortest (L1>L41, L41>L42).

Also, the sum of the effect period of the first additional effect and the effect period of the second additional effect is set shorter than the effect period of the latter stage effect. That is, the display period of the effect image of the latter stage effect is set longer than the sum of the display period of the effect image of the first additional effect and the display period of the effect image of the second additional effect (L3>L41+L42).

Incidentally, as shown in FIGS. 11-18(A) to 11-18(C), the first additional effect in the characteristic portion 037SG is that after the silhouette is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, the silhouette is displayed. is changed to an image of an enemy character, and a message is displayed above the enemy character, and an enemy character and a friend character as shown in FIGS. are approaching each other, and an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other is displayed.

On the other hand, in FIGS. 11-19 (A) and 11-19 (B), the enemy character and the ally character are approaching each other as in FIGS. 11-1 ((D) and 11-18 (E). The image immediately before the ally character and the enemy character attack each other and the image immediately before the ally character and the enemy character attack each other overlap the message to the effect that the battle between the ally character and the enemy character will start. , and an effect in which is displayed.

That is, in this characteristic portion 037SG, FIGS. 11-18 (D) to 11-18 (E) and FIGS. 11-18(A) to 11-18(C) and FIGS. 11-19(C) and configures a non-common effect section (first non-common effect section and second non-common effect section) that displays different images (video) in the display area of the image display device 5 for the first additional effect and the second additional effect. do.

Incidentally, as shown in FIGS. 11-18 and 11-19, the effect period of the first non-common effect part (FIGS. 11-18(A) to 11-18(C)) in the first additional effect is L411, Effect period of common effect part (Fig. 11-18 (D) to Fig. 11-18 (E) and Fig. 11-19 (A) to Fig. 11-19 (B)) in the first additional effect and the second additional effect is L412, and the effect period of the second non-common effect part (FIG. 11-19 (C)) in the second additional effect is L413, the effect period of these first non-common effect parts and the effect period of the second non-common effect is set longer than the effect period of the common effect. That is, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the sum of the display period of the effect image of the first non-common effect portion and the display period of the effect image of the second non-common effect portion is the effect image of the common effect portion. (L411+L413>L412).

Also, the reach effect of super reach γ executed at the 100th variable display in the high base state shown in FIG. Comparing with the ready-to-win performance of super ready-to-win γ that can be executed by display, the performance period of the latter stage performance is set longer than the sum of the performance period of the front stage performance A and the performance period of the front stage performance B.例文帳に追加That is, the display period of the effect image of the latter stage effect is set longer than the sum of the display period of the effect image of the preceding stage effect A and the display period of the effect image of the preceding stage effect B (L3>L1+L4).

In addition, in the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, the first additional effect, the second additional effect, and the third additional effect are executed. The effect period L102 of the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ which can be executed in the variable display after the first time is set longer than the effect period L101 of the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ to be executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. It is

In addition, by using the latter effect lamp data and the fall suggestion result notification effect lamp data, the present characteristic part 037SG can perform the main effect throughout the third latter effect period, the first light emission effect period, and the fall suggestion result notification effect period. The lamp 9a is lit at a luminance C1 or a luminance C2 higher than the luminance C1 (C2>C1).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-24, when the variable display result is a big win, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 in the third post-stage effect period. Next, when the execution period of the third post-stage effect ends and the first light-emitting effect period begins, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C2 after being turned off once. It should be noted that the white light emission at the brightness C2 is once terminated (turned off) immediately before the end of the first light emission effect period. Then, when the first light emission effect period ends and the fall suggestion result notification effect period starts, the main lamp 9a emits rainbow light with the luminance C2 for a predetermined period from the start timing of the fall suggestion result report effect period. do. After the predetermined period has passed, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 until the end of the fall suggestion result notification effect period.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is wrong, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 in the third post-stage effect period. Next, when the execution period of the third rear-stage effect ends and the first light-emitting effect period begins, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C2 after being turned off once. It should be noted that the white light emission at the brightness C2 is once finished (extinguished) immediately before the end of the first light emission effect period. Then, when the first light emission effect period ends and the fall suggestion result notification effect period starts, the main lamp 9a has the luminance C1 from the start timing of the fall suggestion result report effect period to the end of the fall suggestion result report effect period. It emits white light.

In addition, by using the latter effect lamp data and the fall suggestion result notification effect lamp data, the present characteristic part 037SG can perform the main effect throughout the third latter effect period, the first light emission effect period, and the fall suggestion result notification effect period. The lamp 9a is lit at a luminance C1 or a luminance C2 higher than the luminance C1 (C2>C1).

Next, the light emitting modes of the main lamp 9a, the first decorative lamp 9e, the second decorative lamp 9f, and the third decorative lamp 9g during the operation promoting effect period, the second light emitting effect period, and the resurrection suggestion result notification effect period will be described. do. First, as shown in FIG. 11-25, when the variable display results in a big hit, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 during the operation promotion effect period. Next, when the operation promoting effect period ends and the second light emitting effect period starts, the main lamp 9a is turned off once and then the light effect image 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5 at the brightness C2 is the same color (white or white). red). It should be noted that the light emission at the brightness C2 is temporarily terminated (extinguished) immediately before the end of the second light emission effect period. Then, when the second light emitting performance period ends and the resurrection suggestion result reporting performance period starts, the main lamp 9a repeatedly blinks white with the luminance C2 from the start timing to the end timing of the resurrection suggestion result reporting performance period.

In addition, when the variable display result is wrong, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 during the operation promotion effect period. Next, when the operation promoting effect period ends and the second light emitting effect period begins, the main lamp 9a is turned off once and the light effect image 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5 at the brightness C2 is the same color (white or white). red). It should be noted that the light emission at the brightness C2 is temporarily terminated (extinguished) immediately before the end of the second light emission effect period. Then, when the second light emission effect period ends and the resurrection suggestion result notification effect period starts, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 for a predetermined period from the start timing of the resurrection suggestion result report effect period. It is turned off until the end timing of the resurrection suggestion result notification performance period.

Further, during the operation promotion effect period, as shown in FIG. 11-25, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g are turned on in response to repeated pressing of the push button 31B. Blinking at the brightness C1 is repeatedly executed. Specifically, first, when the first decorative lamp 9e blinks a predetermined number of times in response to repeated pressing of the push button 31B, the second decorative lamp 9f starts blinking. Then, when the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration lamp 9f blink a predetermined number of times in response to repeated pressing of the push button 31B, the third decoration lamp 9g starts blinking. 11-26(A) to 22-24(C), during the operation promotion effect period, the flashing of each decoration lamp is caused by the player repeatedly pressing the push button 31B. The player recognizes that the 037SG300 progresses from the outer edge toward the center.

Furthermore, when the movable body lamp 9d is determined to be the lamp to emit light (see FIG. 22-15), the brightness of the movable body lamp 9d at the brightness C1 is increased in response to the continuous pressing operation of the push button 31B during the operation promoting effect period. Blinking is also performed repeatedly.

11-27 to 11-36, description will be given of the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ (fall-suggesting effect) and the ready-to-reach effect of super reach δ (revival-suggesting effect) in the characteristic portion 037SG with reference to FIGS. 11-27 to 11-36.

First, in the reach effect of super reach γ in the 100th variable display in the high base state, as shown in FIG. An image of the enemy character facing each other and a message indicating that the high base state (time saving state including the probability variable state) ends when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character are displayed. At this time, the music A is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the brightness C1.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-27(B), the image of the enemy character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 by executing the enemy character emphasizing effect. At this time, the music A is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits blue light at the luminance C1. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-27(C), when the enemy character emphasizing effect ends, the image of the ally character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as a teammate character emphasizing effect. At this time, the music A is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits red light at luminance C1.

When the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect as the pre-stage effects are finished, as shown in FIGS. A middle-stage production is executed in which the ally character and the enemy character fight each other. Note that, as the middle stage production, for example, the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the ally character (first middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-27(D)), and the enemy character chases the ally character (FIG. 11 -28 (E) second middle stage effect), the enemy character's attack hits the allied character (third middle stage effect shown in FIG. 11-28 (F)). An effect suggesting defeat by the enemy character (end of the high base state) is executed. During execution of the middle stage effect, the music for the middle stage effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

After the end of the middle-stage production, the latter-stage production is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Incidentally, as the latter-stage production, for example, the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character (first latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-28(G)), and the friendly character avoids the attack of the enemy character ( 11-28 (H)), and the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character (third latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-29 (I)). An effect suggesting that the character wins (the high base state continues without falling with a variable probability, or the variable display result becomes a big hit) is executed. During execution of the latter-stage production, music for the latter-stage production is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-29(J) and 11-29(K), from the final stage of the third stage effect, the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other in the display area of the image display device 5. The previous image is displayed. Then, when the first light emitting effect is started, the light emitting effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the friend character and the enemy character that were displayed until immediately before are temporarily displayed. It becomes invisible to the player. During the execution of the first light emission effect, the speakers 8L and 8R output music for the latter stage effect at the volume V1, and after the main lamp 9a is turned off once, it emits white light with the luminance C2 ( 11-24).

After the end of the first light emitting effect, a drop suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the variable display result and whether or not the fall lottery is won. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 (L) and 11-30 (M), when the variable display result is a big hit or when the variable display result is lost and the falling lottery is not won, the image display device In the display area of 5, after the image of the ally character defeating the enemy character is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the variable display result is a big hit or the high base state (time-saving state including the probability variable state) continues. . It should be noted that during the execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the variable display result is a big hit or the high base state (time saving state including the probability variable state) continues at the volume V2 (V2>V1) from the speakers 8L and 8R. Then, the main lamp 9a emits light in rainbow color with luminance C2 and then in white with luminance C1.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 (N) and 11-30 (O), when the variable display result is wrong and the falling lottery is won, the friendly character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. After the image in which the character is beaten (defeated) by the enemy character is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the game state is controlled to the normal state by winning the drop lottery. During execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the fall notification music is played at volume V1 from the speakers 8L and 8R in response to the game state being controlled to the normal state by winning the fall lottery. The light is output, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

In the reach effect of super reach γ in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, first, as a first additional effect, as shown in FIGS. An image in which an enemy character appears in the display area of the display device 5 and an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other are displayed. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the brightness C1.

When the first additional effect is completed, as shown in FIG. 11-31(C), as the title display effect, an image in which the friendly character and the enemy character face each other in the display area of the image display device 5, and an image in which the friendly character is the enemy character are displayed. A message will be displayed to the effect that the high-base state (time-saving state including variable state) will end by losing to . At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the brightness C1.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-31(D), the image of the enemy character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 by executing the enemy character emphasizing effect. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits blue light at the luminance C1. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-32(E), when the enemy character emphasizing effect ends, the image of the ally character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as a teammate character emphasizing effect. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits red light at the luminance C1.

When the teammate character emphasizing effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-32(F) and 11-32(G), as a second additional effect, the teammate character and the enemy character interact in the display area of the image display device 5. After the image immediately before the attack is displayed, a message (characters of "FIGHT!" in FIG. 11-32 (G)) to the effect that the battle between the ally character and the enemy character will start is displayed overlapping the image. be done. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the brightness C1.

When the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect as the preceding stage effect are completed, the third additional effect is executed. As the third additional effect, as shown in FIG. 11-33(H), an image of a friend character and an enemy character facing each other in the display area of the image display device 5 is displayed in the horizontal direction multiple times. . At this time, if it is decided not to execute the chance-up effect, the image of the friend character disappears from the display area of the image display device 5 and the image of the enemy character is displayed instead, as shown in FIG. 11-33(I). The display of only suggests that the allied character is defeated (the high base state ends). On the other hand, when execution of the chance-up effect is decided, as shown in FIG. 11-33(J), the image of the enemy character disappears from the display area of the image display device 5, and only the image of the friend character is displayed instead. is displayed, the ally character wins (the variable display result is a big hit, or the variable display result is a loss, but the falling lottery is not won, so the high base state (time-saving state including the probability variable state) continues. ) is suggested. During execution of the third additional effect, the middle stage effect music is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

When the third additional effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-33(K), 11-34(L), and 11-34(M), a middle stage effect is executed in which the ally character and the enemy character fight each other. . Incidentally, as the middle stage production, for example, the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the ally character (first middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-33(K)), and the enemy character chases the ally character (FIG. 11). -34 (L) second middle stage production), the enemy character's attack hits the allied character (third middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-34 (M)). An effect suggesting defeat by the enemy character (end of the high base state) is executed. During execution of the middle stage production, the music for the middle stage production is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

After the end of the middle-stage production, the latter-stage production is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Incidentally, as the latter-stage production, for example, the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character (first latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-34 (N)), and the friendly character avoids the attack of the enemy character ( 11-34 (O)), and the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character (third latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-35 (P)). An effect suggesting that the character wins (the high base state continues without falling with a variable probability, or the variable display result becomes a big hit) is executed. During execution of the latter-stage production, music for the latter-stage production is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-35(P) and 11-35(Q), from the final stage of the third stage effect, the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other in the display area of the image display device 5. The previous image is displayed. Then, when the first light emitting effect is started, the light emitting effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the friend character and the enemy character that were displayed just before are temporarily displayed. It becomes invisible to the player. During the execution of the first lighting effect, the speakers 8L and 8R output music for subsequent stage effects at the volume V1, and after the main lamp 9a is turned off once, it emits white light with the luminance C2 ( 11-24).

After the end of the first light emitting effect, a drop suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the variable display result and whether or not the fall lottery is won. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (S) and 11-36 (T), when the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is lost and the falling lottery is not won, the image display device In the display area of 5, after the image of the ally character defeating the enemy character is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the variable display result is a big hit or the high base state (time-saving state including the probability variable state) continues. . It should be noted that during the execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the variable display result is a big hit or the high base state (time saving state including the probability variable state) continues at the volume V2 (V2>V1) from the speakers 8L and 8R. Then, the main lamp 9a emits light in rainbow color with luminance C2 and then in white with luminance C1.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-36(U) and 11-36(V), when the variable display result is wrong and the falling lottery is won, the friendly character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. After an image in which is defeated by an enemy character is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the game state is controlled to the normal state by winning the falling lottery. During execution of the fall suggestion result notification effect, the fall notification music is played at volume V1 from the speakers 8L and 8R in response to the game state being controlled to the normal state by winning the fall lottery. The light is output, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-27, in the present characteristic portion 037SG, in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5, the pending display corresponding to the variable display that has not yet been executed and the Although the mode of displaying the pending display is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pending display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and the pending display is displayed in any of the display modes. It may be possible to execute a pending display announcement effect in which the variable display corresponding to the pending display has a different ratio of the variable display result to a big hit depending on whether the game is played or not.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-27, this characteristic part 037SG displays a pending display in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5, and displays an active display according to the variable display being executed. Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the active display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and depending on which display mode the active display is displayed, It may be possible to execute an active display notice effect in which the ratio of the variable display result to a big win is different in the variable display.

Furthermore, as for the pending display notice effect and the active display notice effect, the display mode of the pending display and the active display may be changed not only at the start and end of the variable display but also during execution of the variable display. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the timing at which the display mode of the pending display and the active display changes.

In addition, in the case where it is possible to execute the pending display notice effect or the active display notice effect described above in this feature part 037SG, during execution of the reach effect of super reach γ (variable display after the 100th or 101st time in the high base state during the variable display in the variation pattern of the super reach γ executed in ), when the active display notice effect is executed and the variable display result suggests that the result will be a big hit, the high base state is restored after the end of the big win game. Since there is a risk that the player will recognize that it will be controlled in advance, during the execution of the ready-to-win effect of super reach γ, the execution of the pending display notice effect and the active display notice effect (display mode of the pending display and active display change), or the display itself of the pending display or the active display may be limited.

In addition, as a reach effect of the super reach γ of this characteristic part 037SG, as shown in FIGS. After the fall suggestion result is notified, the reported fall suggestion result (the variable display result is a big hit, the variable display result is a loss but the high base state continues, the variable display result is a loss and the high base state continues) Although the main lap 9a emits white light regardless of whether or not the base state ends), the present invention is not limited to this, and the main lap 9a after announcing the result of suggesting a fall may emit white light. Light is emitted in a different manner depending on the fall suggestion result (for example, when it is reported that the variable display result is a big hit or that the variable display result is a loss but the high base state continues, see FIG. 11-30 Continuing from (L) and FIG. 11-36 (S), the main lap 9a emits light in rainbow colors, and when it is notified that the variable display result is incorrect and the high base state ends, the main lap 9a is turned off. It may be made to emit light in white or blue).

Further, a plurality of light emission modes of the main lap 9a when it is notified that the variable display result is a failure and the end of the high base state is provided as the reach effect of the super reach γ, and the main lamp 9a emits light in any of the light emission modes. The rate at which the ready-to-reach effect (resurrection suggesting effect) of super ready-to-win δ is executed after the ready-to-reach effect of super ready-to-win γ is completed may be varied depending on whether the ready-to-win effect of super ready-to-win δ is executed. By doing so, even when it is notified that the variable display result is wrong and the high base state ends as the reach performance of the super reach γ, the player's attention is drawn to the lighting mode of the main lamp 9a. It is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for execution of the ready-to-win effect of super reach δ.

In addition, as a ready-to-reach effect (resurrection suggestive effect) of super reach δ, as shown in FIG. A shutter image 037SG005S is displayed, and an operation prompting image is displayed in the left part of the display area to prompt the player to hit the push button 31B repeatedly.

Here, when the character to be displayed when the resurrection suggestion effect is executed is determined to be character A (see FIG. 11-15(B)), when the player starts hitting the push button 31B repeatedly, the character shown in FIG. 11-37 ( B) to FIG. 11-37(C), the closed shutter image 037SG005S is gradually opened. At the same time, the player can gradually see the image of the character A between these shutter images. In other words, the operation promoting effect is also a effect in which the display area of the image of the character A in the display area of the image display device 5 gradually expands as the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B. Further, during the execution period of the operation promoting effect, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g of the decoration 037SG300 flash by repeatedly hitting the push button 31B by the player. , blinking of the movable body lamp 9d (only when it is determined to be lit) is also executed (see FIGS. 11-25 and 11-26).

Then, when the shutter image 037SG005S is opened up to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promoting effect ends, the second As a light effect, a white or red light effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 . During execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 037SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by these light emission effect images 037SG005E.

When the second light emitting effect is completed, the resurrection suggestion result notification effect is then executed. In the revival suggestion result notification effect, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-38(F) and 11-38(G), in the display area of the image display device 5, the shutter in the same mode as immediately before the execution of the second light emission effect The image 037SG005S and the image of the character A are displayed as still images. Then, the shutter image 037SG005S is slightly opened from the state shown in FIG. 11-38(F).

At this time, when the variable display result is a big hit, the shutter image 037SG005S is completely opened (the shutter image 037SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), thereby making the image display device The image of the character A is displayed over the entire display area of 5, and the result of the variable display is a big hit despite the notification that the high base state will end once in the reach performance of the super reach γ. After the jackpot game ends, it is informed that the high base state (probability variable state) is controlled again.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is lost (and when the fall lottery is won), as shown in FIG. When 037SG005S is closed (the image of character A becomes invisible to the player in the display area of the image display device 5 due to the shutter image 037SG005S), termination of the high base state is notified.

Further, when the character to be displayed when the resurrection suggestion effect is executed is determined to be the character B (see FIG. 11-15(B)), when the player starts hitting the push button 31B repeatedly, the character shown in FIG. 11-39 (A ) to FIG. 11-39(C), the closed shutter image 037SG005S is gradually opened. At the same time, the player can gradually see the image of the character B between these shutter images. In other words, the operation promoting effect is also a effect in which the display area of the image of the character B in the display area of the image display device 5 gradually expands as the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B. Further, during the execution period of the operation promoting effect, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g of the decoration 037SG300 flash by repeatedly hitting the push button 31B by the player. , blinking of the movable body lamp 9d (only when it is determined to be lit) is also executed (see FIGS. 11-25 and 11-26).

Then, when the shutter image 037SG005S is opened up to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promoting effect ends, the second As a light effect, a white or red light effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 . During execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 037SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by these light emission effect images 037SG005E.

When the second light emitting effect ends, then, a revival suggestion result notification effect is executed. In the revival suggestion result notification effect, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-40(F) and 11-40(G), in the display area of the image display device 5, the shutter in the same mode as immediately before the execution of the second light emission effect The image 037SG005S and the image of character B are displayed as still images. Then, the shutter image 037SG005S is slightly opened from the state shown in FIG. 11-40(F).

At this time, when the variable display result is a big hit, the shutter image 037SG005S is completely opened (the shutter image 037SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), thereby making the image display device The image of the character B is displayed over the entire display area of 5, and the result of the variable display is a big hit even though it is announced that the high base state will once end in the reach performance of the super reach γ. After the jackpot game ends, it is informed that the high base state (probability variable state) is controlled again.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is lost (and when the drop lottery is won), as shown in FIG. 11-40(I), the shutter image is changed from the state shown in FIG. When 037SG005S is closed (the image of character B becomes invisible to the player in the display area of the image display device 5 due to the shutter image 037SG005S), termination of the high base state is notified.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the characteristic portion 037SG, when the game state is the high base state, the fall lottery is executed each time the variable display is executed. Then, when the falling lottery is won by the 99th variable display in the high base state, the probability variable control is executed until the variable display in which the falling lottery is won, while the time reduction control is continued until the 100th variable display. However, if the falling lottery is won in the variable display after the 100th time, the probability variable control and the time saving control are ended at the end of the variable display that has won the falling lottery, that is, the game state is changed to the normal state. It is designed to work.

In the pachinko game machine 1 with such game characteristics, by executing the 100th variable display in the high base state with the variation pattern of the super reach γ, the falling lottery is won by the 100th variable display. In addition to executing a super reach γ reach effect (fall suggestive effect) that suggests that the player has fallen (see Fig. 11-17 (A)), the super reach γ fluctuation pattern is performed in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state. By executing it, it is possible to execute a reach performance (fall suggestion performance) of super reach γ suggesting that the falling lottery has been won at the start of the variable display (see FIG. 11-17(B)).

Further, when the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ is executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ is either a pattern including a chance-up effect or a pattern not including a chance-up effect. Therefore, not only in the 100th variable display in the high base state, but also in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the super reach γ reach effect is executed, and the super reach γ reach effect is executed. Since the performance is executed in a pattern corresponding to the game situation, the game interest can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A) and 11-17 (B), in the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, the 100th time in the high base state When compared with the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ executed in the variable display of , the first additional effect is additionally executed as the preceding effect and the third additional effect is executed as the middle-stage effect. In particular, since the first additional effect is executed as the effect at the beginning of the front stage effect, and the third additional effect is executed as the effect at the beginning of the middle stage effect, the player can enjoy the first additional effect and the third effect. By recognizing that the additional effect will be executed, it is possible to recognize that there is a possibility that the chance-up effect will be executed during the ready-to-win effect of the super reach γ.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A) and 11-17 (B), the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the 101st and subsequent times in the high base state The reach effects of the super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display include the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the friend character emphasizing effect, the first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, the third middle stage effect, the first latter stage effect, and the third middle stage effect. The 2nd post-stage effect, the 3rd post-stage effect, the 1st light emission effect, and the fall suggestion result notification effect are executed in common. In particular, the super reach γ reach effect executed in the 100th variable display in the base state and the super reach γ reach effect that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state are different from each other. are executed in common, the fall suggestion result is reported in a common presentation mode, so that the player can easily recognize the fall suggestion result.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-31(B), 11-29(J), and 11-35(J), part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the first additional effect is commonly executed in the super reach γ ready-to-reach effect that is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the super reach γ ready-to-reach effect that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. Since the image is shared with a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third post-stage effect, the cost required for producing the image of the first additional effect can be reduced.

In this characteristic portion 037SG, part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the first additional effect is used as the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. Common with part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third post-stage effect executed in common with the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a third additional effect, part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 is displayed on the 100th image in the high base state. image display device as a third post-stage effect executed in common for the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the variable display of and the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. It may be an image common to a part of the image displayed in the display area 5 .

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17 (A) and 11-17 (B), as the reach effects of each super reach γ, the middle stage effect is performed after the front stage effect is executed, and the rear stage effect is performed after the middle stage effect is executed. At the 100th variable display in the high base state, the reach effect of the super reach γ is executed. There are a total of three pre-stage effects: a title display effect, an enemy character emphasize effect, and an ally character emphasize effect. is executed over the production period L1, and in the reach production of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the first additional production, the title display production, the enemy character emphasis production, and the ally A total of five performances including a character emphasis performance and a second additional performance are executed over a performance period L4. The effect period L3 of the latter stage effect is set longer than the sum of the effect period L41 of the first additional effect and the second additional effect L42 (L3>L41+L42). Therefore, in the common effect section in which the effect image common to the first additional effect and the second additional effect is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, the effect period L3 of the latter effect is the effect of the first additional effect. To prevent a player from giving the impression that a first additional performance and a second additional performance are a common performance part by setting a period longer than the sum of a period L41 and a second additional performance L42. Since it is possible, it is possible to improve amusement interest.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-18 and 11-19, the sum of the effect period of the first non-common effect section and the effect period of the second non-common effect is set longer than the effect period of the common effect. (L411+L413>L12), it is possible to prevent the common effect portion from being conspicuous due to the effect image of the common effect portion being displayed in both the first additional effect and the second additional effect.

Also, the effect period L4 of the pre-stage effect in the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state is the reach of super reach γ that is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. Since it is set to be longer than the effect period L1 of the preceding stage effect in the effect, the images displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect are displayed in the high base state. Displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in common with the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display and the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. It is possible to prevent the image from being conspicuous that it is an image that is to be printed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-22, the title display effect, the enemy character display effect, the ally character display effect, and the high base state in the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. The image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 is common to the title display effect, the enemy character display effect, and the ally character display effect within the reach effect of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays. On the other hand, since the music output from the speaker is different, the images displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect are different from those in the high base state. Displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in common with the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display and the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. It is possible to more reliably prevent the image from being conspicuous.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, 11-28, and 11-29, the second-stage production is a first latter-stage production in which an image is displayed in which an ally character advances the battle with superiority over an enemy character. A second latter-stage effect in which an image is displayed in which an image is displayed to avoid an attack by an enemy character, and a third latter-stage effect is displayed in which an image is displayed in which an attack by an ally character hits an enemy character. It is set longer than the effect period L21 of the first stage effect and longer than the effect period L23 of the third latter stage effect. In other words, in the first latter stage effect, the second latter stage effect, and the third latter stage effect, the closer the effect is to the end timing of the entire latter stage effect, the longer the period during which the image is displayed. The image displayed in the performance and the third latter stage performance can be varied, and the player's attention can be increased.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-21 and 11-23, the front stage effect (previous stage effect A) in the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and 101 in the high base state In the pre-stage effect (pre-stage effect B) in the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the subsequent variable displays, common pre-stage effect lamp data is used to light the game effect lamp 9, but the pre-stage effect is used. A and B are different in the part of the lamp data for common front stage effect used for lighting the game effect lamp 9. - 特許庁For this reason, the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B share the lamp data for lighting the game effect lamp 9, and each effect image of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the teammate character emphasizing effect is displayed as the preflight effect A. is displayed, and the lighting mode of the game effect lamp 9 is made different between the case where the first additional performance, the title display performance, the enemy character emphasis performance, and the ally character emphasis performance are displayed as the front stage performance B. As a result, the memory capacity is wasted by redundantly storing the lamp data in the ROM 121 when the title display performance, the enemy character emphasizing performance, and the ally character emphasizing performance are executed while enhancing the performance interest of the front stage performance. can also be reduced.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-31, and 11-33, the reach effect of super reach γ in this characteristic portion 037SG is achieved by fighting between an enemy character and an ally character and when the enemy character wins. This is an effect in which it is announced that the high base state will end, and that the high base state will continue if the ally character wins, or that the variable display result will be a big win. In other words, the enemy character displayed during the execution of the reach effect of super reach γ is a character that suggests that the high base state will end, and the friend character displayed during the execution of the reach effect of super reach γ It is a character that suggests that the high base state continues or that the variable display result is a big hit. Then, the front-stage production A and the front-stage production B execute the enemy character enhancement production for enlarging and displaying the image of the enemy character in the display area of the image display device 5, and then executing the ally character enhancement production for enlarging and displaying the image of the ally character. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the continuation of the high base state and for the variable display result to be a big hit.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-30, 11-31, 11-33, and 11-36, when the enemy character emphasis effect is executed as the pre-stage effect A or the pre-stage effect B, The main lamp 9a emits blue light, and the main lamp 9a emits red light when the teammate character emphasizing effect is executed. Then, when the first light emitting effect is executed, the main lamp 9a emits white light, so that the game is played based on whether or not the high base state continues and whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit. It is possible to attract the attention of the player and improve the amusement of the game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-24, when the main lamp 9a emits white light as the first light emission effect, the fall suggestion result notification effect is executed after the main lamp 9a is turned off. After the lamp 9a is extinguished, an effect image (an image of an enemy character defeating an ally character, or an image of an ally character defeating an enemy character) is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 to notify the result of the fall. Since one of the performance images of the fall suggestion result notification effect is displayed at the timing when the attention of the player is likely to increase to the effect image of the fall suggestion result notification effect by turning off the lamp 9a, the fall suggestion result notification effect effect is displayed. It is possible to suitably improve the entertainment and entertainment of the display of the image.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, in the front stage effect B, title display effect, enemy character emphasizing effect, and ally character emphasizing effect are displayed between the effect image of the first additional effect and the effect image of the second additional effect. A performance image (a performance image of the front stage performance A) is displayed, and the performance period L1 of the front stage performance A is set longer than the performance period L41 of the first additional performance (L1>L41). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from having the impression that the common video portion is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the effect image for both the first additional effect and the second additional effect. It can improve amusement interest.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-28, 11-33, and 11-34, as the middle stage effect, the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the allied character, and the enemy character advances the allied character. By displaying a production image in which the friendly character is at a disadvantage, such as chasing after the enemy character or hitting the friendly character with the attack of the enemy character, it is possible to give a sense of urgency to the reach production (fall indication production) of Super Reach γ. It can improve amusement interest.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, 11-27, 11-28, 11-33, and 11-34, in the middle stage production, an image of the enemy character advancing the battle with superiority over the ally character is displayed. A first middle stage effect is displayed, a second middle stage effect is displayed in which an image of an enemy character chasing an ally character is displayed, and a third middle stage effect is displayed in which an image of an enemy character hitting an ally character is displayed. The effect period L12 of the effect is set longer than the effect period L11 of the first middle stage effect and longer than the effect period L13 of the third middle stage effect. That is, in the first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, and the third middle stage effect, the closer the end timing of the entire middle stage effect is, the longer the period during which the image is displayed. The image displayed in the performance and the third middle stage performance can be varied, and the player's attention can be enhanced.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the characteristic part 037SG can perform variable display even in the variation pattern of super reach δ in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state. In the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach δ, a reach effect (fall suggestive effect) of the super reach γ is executed in the same manner as the variation pattern of the super reach γ, and the result of the suggestive fall within the reach effect of the super reach γ is notified. After the termination of the high base state is once notified in the effect, the resurrection suggestive effect is executed as the reach effect of the super reach δ.

As shown in FIG. 11-20, as a ready-to-reach effect (resurrection suggestive effect) of super reach δ, the operation is performed when the variable display result is a big hit and when the variable display result is a loss and the fall lottery is won. While the promotion performance and the second light emission performance are executed in a common mode, the performance mode of the resurrection suggestion result notification performance to be executed after the operation promotion performance and the second light emission performance is variably displayed. It varies according to the results. The second light emission effect is a effect of displaying a white or red light emission effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5. The period during which the image 037SG005E is displayed is set shorter than the execution period L33 of the revival suggestion result notification performance when the variable display result is a big hit and the revival suggestion result notification performance when the variable display result is a loss. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-15(D), the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit differs according to the display color of the light emission effect image 037SG005E displayed in the second light emission effect. The ratio of displaying the image indicating that the variable display result is a big hit as the effect image of the resurrection suggestion result notification effect in the display area is different.

Therefore, regardless of whether the result of the variable display is a big win or a loss (and winning the falling lottery) as a result of the ready-to-win effect of the super reach δ, the image display device is used during the effect period of the second light-emitting effect. By displaying the light-emitting effect image 037SG005E in the display area 5, the player's expectation of the variable display result being a big hit can be maintained, and thus the amusement of the game can be improved. Further, whether or not an image indicating that the variable display result is a big win is displayed as the effect image of the resurrection suggestion result notification effect by displaying the light effect image 037SG005E in white or red as the second light effect. Since the player's attention can be drawn, the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, in this characteristic portion 037SG, the main lamp 9a can be displayed in a plurality of colors (modes) such as white, red, and rainbow colors. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-25, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, while the main lamp 9a emits light with the luminance C1 during the execution period of the second light emission effect. 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5 with the same color (white or red) as the light emission effect image 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5. Compared to the case of emitting light, the effect of the second light emission effect can be improved by enhancing the effect of displaying the light effect image 037SG005E, and furthermore, the main lamp 9a during the execution period of the operation promotion effect. is higher than the luminance of the main lamp 9a during the execution period of the second light emission effect.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (F) and 11-40 (F), in the ready-to-reach effect (resurrection suggesting effect) of super reach δ, after the second light emitting effect, in the display area of the image display device 5, Since the shutter image 037SG005S and the image of character A or character B in the same manner as immediately before execution of the second light emission effect are displayed as still images, the image of character A or character B is displayed as an image by completely opening the shutter image 037SG005S. Since it is possible to heighten the sense of urgency to be displayed in the entire display area of the display device 5, it is possible to improve the performance interest of the ready-to-win effect of the super reach δ.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-26, the decoration 037SG300 in the characteristic portion 037SG includes a first decoration lamp 9e and a second decoration lamp 9f that are annular from the outer edge side toward the center of the decoration 037SG300. , and a third decoration lamp 9g. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11-25 and 11-26, during the execution period of the operation promoting effect, the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B to activate the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration lamp 9f. , and the third decoration lamp 9g, so that the display area of the image of the character A or the character B gradually expands in the display area of the image display device 5 in the operation promoting effect. Appropriate lighting effect can be performed, and the effect interest of the operation promoting effect can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-15(C) and 11-25, during the execution period of the operation promoting effect, the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B to activate the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration. When the flashing of the body lamp 9f and the third decoration lamp 9g is executed, and in addition to the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f and the third decoration lamp 9g, the movable lamp 9d is also blinked. Therefore, during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, it is possible to prevent the light emission (flashing) of these lamps from becoming monotonous, and the effect of the reach effect of super reach δ is reduced. You can prevent it from getting lost.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-25, the main lamp 9a emits light with the brightness C1 throughout the execution period of the operation promotion effect, while the brightness is higher than the brightness C1 during the execution period of the second light emission effect. Since the light is emitted at the luminance C2, it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit in the resurrection suggestion result notification effect after the second light emission effect (an effect image indicating that the variable display result is a big win is displayed. It is possible to increase the expectation for the game, and improve the amusement of the game.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-15(D), 11-37, and 11-39, as the second light emission effect, a white or red light emission effect image 037SG005E can be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. It has become. In particular, in the resurrection suggestion result notification effect executed after the second light effect, when the variable display result is lost and the effect image corresponding to winning the falling lottery is displayed, white light is emitted as the second light effect. When the effect image 037SG005E is displayed and the effect image corresponding to the variable display result being a big hit is displayed in the resurrection suggestion result notification effect executed after the second light effect, a red light effect is displayed as the second light effect. By displaying the image 037SG005E, it is possible to prevent the ready-to-win effect of the super reach δ from becoming monotonous, and to suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

In addition, in the first light emission effect and the second light emission effect of the present characteristic portion 037SG, by displaying the light emission effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5, all the other images displayed in the display area are played. Although a form in which it is temporarily invisible to the viewer has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. By displaying , only part of the other images displayed in the display area may be temporarily invisible to the player.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (G) and 11-40 (G), during the execution period of the revival suggestion result notification effect, in FIGS. 11-38 (F) and 11-40 (F) The shutter image 037SG005S is slightly opened from the state shown (state in which the shutter image 037SG005S in the same manner as immediately before execution of the second light emitting effect and the image of the character A are displayed as still images in the display area of the image display device 5). After the shutter image 037SG005S is slightly opened, the shutter image 037SG005S is completely opened as an image notifying that the variable display result is a big hit, and the entire display area of the image display device 5 is displayed. The images of character A and character B are displayed, and the shutter image 037SG005S is closed in the display area of the image display device 5 as an image notifying that the variable display result is wrong, and the image of character A and character B is not displayed. is terminated. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 11-38(G) and 11-40(G), the shutter image 037SG005S is displayed as an image for notifying that the variable display result is a big hit by slightly opening the shutter image 037SG005S. is completed and the images of the character A and the character B are displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, the expectation of the player can be heightened, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, when notifying that the variable display result is lost and that the fall lottery has been won as a resurrection suggestion result notification effect, the shutter image 037SG005S that is being opened is closed as shown in FIGS. 11-38 and 11-40. By doing so, the display areas of the images of the characters A and B are narrowed, and finally the images of the characters A and B are made invisible to the player by the closed shutter image 037SG005S. The change in the display areas of the images of the character A and the character B due to the closing makes it easy for the player to recognize that the result of the variable display is lost and that the falling lottery has been won.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-25, when it is reported that the variable display result is lost and that the falling lottery is won as the resurrection suggestion result notification effect, the main lamp 9a executes the resurrection suggestion result notification effect. During the period, light is emitted at the brightness C1 and then turned off, so the variable display result is a failure as a result of the reach performance (resurrection suggestive performance) of super reach δ, and the player is dissatisfied by winning the fall lottery. You can control your comfort.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. be

For example, in the characterizing section 037SG, a mode is illustrated in which the chance-up effect can be executed in the third additional effect in the middle stage effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the modified example 037- As 1, the chance-up effect may be an effect that can be executed in the first additional effect in addition to or instead of the third additional effect. Further, when the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of executing the chance-up effect in the first additional effect is set higher than the ratio of executing the chance-up effect in the third additional effect. good. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether the chance-up effect is executed by the first additional effect or the third additional effect, thereby improving the game interest.

In the modified example 037SG-1, when the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of the chance-up effect to be executed in the first additional effect is changed to the ratio of the chance-up effect to be executed in the third additional effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the fall lottery is not won, the chance up effect is set to the first additional effect. The effect may be set higher than the rate at which the third additional effect is executed. In other words, the "advantage" in the present invention is a concept that includes not only the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit, but also the possibility of not winning the falling lottery in the variable display in the high base state.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, when executing a fall suggestion result notification effect as a reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of super reach γ, as shown in FIGS. First, a mode in which both friendly characters and enemy characters are displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. When the fall suggestion result notification effect is executed as the ready-to-win effect (fall suggestion effect), only one of the friend character and the enemy character may be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 . For example, when the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is a loss and the fall lottery is not won, only the ally character who defeated the enemy character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as a fall suggestion result notification effect, or , only the enemy character defeated by the ally character is displayed, and if the variable display result is a failure and the drop lottery is won, the ally character is knocked down in the display area of the image display device 5 as a fall suggestion result notification effect. It suffices to display only the defeated enemy character or only the Mitaka character defeated by the enemy character. By doing so, the player is made to pay attention to whether the friend character or the enemy character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the fall suggestion result notification effect after the first light emission effect is executed. Therefore, the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, a form is exemplified in which a variable display of decorative patterns and other effects corresponding to the variable display (reach effects of each super reach, etc.) can be executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, as a modification 037SG-3, a plurality of production modes are provided in which the variable display mode of the decorative pattern and the production mode of the production according to the other variable display are different. These production modes may be switchable. In particular, when a plurality of production modes can be switched in this way, the reach of super reach γ and super reach δ is achieved by varying the start timing of the first additional production and the third additional production according to each production mode. The reach of the super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state by making it possible to vary the performance mode of the performance and to make the start timings of the first additional performance and the third additional performance different. You can improve the interest of the production.

In addition, in the characterizing section 037SG, a form in which a friend character and an enemy character are displayed as each effect image of the front stage effect A, the front stage effect B, the middle stage effect A, and the middle stage effect B is illustrated, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, as a modified example 037SG-4, only the enemy character is displayed as the effect image of the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B, and only the friend character is displayed as the effect image of the middle stage effect A and the middle stage effect B. good too. By doing so, the player is given an impression that the effect images of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect are the effect images displayed in both the pre-stage effect A and the pre-stage effect B. can be prevented more reliably.

In addition, in the characterizing portion 037SG, as a reach effect of super reach .gamma. An example has been given of the form in which the continuation of the high base state is notified, and the result of the variable display is not correct and the high base state ends due to the defeat of the friend character by the enemy character. Not limited to this, as a reach effect (fall suggestive effect) of super reach γ, it may be reported that the high base state will continue due to a draw between the ally character and the enemy character.

11-17 and 11-22, the characterizing section 037SG uses the image data for the pre-stage effect A to perform the title display effect and the enemy character emphasizing effect when executing the pre-stage effect A, as shown in FIGS. , the effect image of the teammate character emphasizing effect is displayed on the image display device 5, and when executing the pre-stage effect B, the image data for the first additional effect is used in addition to the image data for the pre-stage effect A. , the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect, and the effect image of the first additional effect is displayed on the image display device 5. - 特許庁In other words, in the characteristic portion 037SG, common video data (video data for title display effect, enemy character emphasis effect, ally character emphasis effect) of images displayed in common in the pre-stage effect A and the pre-stage effect B are The non-common video data (video data of the first additional effect) of the image to be displayed only is separately stored in the ROM 121, and when the pre-stage effect A is executed, only the common video data is used to display the image display device 5. When executing the pre-stage effect B, the image is displayed on the image display device 5 by using non-common video data in addition to the common video data, thereby reducing the amount of data stored in the ROM 121. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Only video data and video data for title display effect, enemy character emphasizing effect, and ally character emphasizing effect, which are video data and common video data, are stored, and when pre-stage effect B is executed, all the video data for pre-stage effect B is stored. By using it, the image display device 5 displays the effect images of the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect. By using only the common video data among the video data, the image display device 5 may display the effect images of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the development cost of the duplication of effects where the same effects are executed in the preceding effects A and B.

Further, in the characteristic portion 037SG, the images of the character A and the character B are displayed in the resurrection suggesting effect, and depending on which of the image of the character A and the image of the character B is displayed, the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit is determined. Although different forms have been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example 037SG-7, the resurrection suggestion effect is determined according to whether the image of character A or the image of character B is displayed. The ratio of being controlled to the 10-round jackpot or the probability-variable jackpot game state may be different.

Further, in the characteristic part 037SG, the first light emission effect and the second light emission effect are executed during execution of the ready-to-win effect. is displayed to temporarily make the image displayed on the image display device 5 other than the light-emission effect image invisible to the player. However, the present invention is not limited to this. , the light-emission effect image is displayed from the timing before the reach during the variable display, and the display of the light-emission effect image makes the decoration pattern, background image, etc. displayed on the image display device 5 temporarily invisible to the player. good.

In particular, in the case where the light emission effect image can be displayed from the timing before the reach during the variable display, as a modification 037SG-8, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 to 11-48, A light emitting effect image may be displayed in which a single light source approaches the front side of the decoration pattern from the rear side thereof so that the decoration pattern becomes difficult to see.

As shown in FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48, when displaying a lighting effect image in which a single light source approaches from the rear side to the front side of the decoration pattern, display images corresponding to the respective positions of the single light source are displayed. If the data (video data) is generated for each decorative pattern and stored in advance, the display data (video data) becomes enormous, and the load for creating the display data becomes very large. , the capacity of the memory for storing these huge amounts of display data would be remarkably large. , by simulating the positional relationship between the decorative pattern and the single light source in the virtual space of the display area of the image display device 5, a lighting effect image drawing function ( A highly functional display control unit 123 having a lighting effect drawing function) may be used.

Here, the lighting effect drawing function will be described based on the principle diagrams of FIGS. 11-41 to 11-49. First, as shown in FIG. 11-41(A), the display control unit 123 draws a first decorative design drawing surface (virtual plane) on which the right decorative design 037SG105R and the left decorative design 037SG105L are drawn, A second decorative design drawing surface (virtual plane) on which the decorative design 037SG105C is drawn is provided in the virtual space. By sequentially changing downward in the direction (Y direction), the variable display image of the decoration pattern is drawn.

As shown in FIG. 11-41(A), the first decorative design drawing plane and the second decorative design drawing plane are closer to each other than the first decorative design drawing plane. is positioned forward by an imaginary distance of Therefore, if the central decorative pattern 037SG105C and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or the left decorative pattern 037SG105L are displayed overlappingly, the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or the left decorative pattern 037SG105L is visually recognized by the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. is blocked. Also, when the decorative patterns of the same size as the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L are drawn on the second decorative pattern drawing surface, only the central decorative pattern 037SG105C becomes larger and three decorative patterns are aligned. However, in this modified example 037SG-8, in order to prevent these unnatural displays, the sizes of the three decorative patterns are made almost the same. , the size of the central decorative design 037SG105C drawn on the second decorative design drawing surface is adjusted and drawn.

Therefore, the display control unit 123 can calculate the position of each decorative design in the virtual space from the first decorative design drawing surface or the second decorative design drawing surface and the drawing position of each decorative design on each of these drawing screens. .

Therefore, when actually using the lighting effect drawing function, for example, as shown in FIG. The display control unit 123 automatically draws and displays a simulated lighting effect image when the single light source 037SG105K is positioned at (X1, Y1, Z1).

The X coordinate corresponds to the horizontal position of the image display device 5, the Y coordinate corresponds to the vertical position of the image display device 5, and the Z direction corresponds to the front-back direction (depth direction) in the virtual space. It corresponds to the position (see Figure 11-41).

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-41(A), in a state in which three decorative patterns are arranged at the center position of the image display device 5, the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K are the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. When the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) of the position directly behind the first decoration design drawing surface and Z1 away from the back are specified, the specified coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) in the virtual space In the situation where the single light source is arranged, the single light source 037SG105K emits light based on the positional relationship between the position of the single light source 037SG105K and each decorative design drawn on the first decorative design drawing surface or the second decorative design drawing surface. How the light is blocked by each decorative pattern and how it wraps around to the front side of each decorative pattern is simulated as shown by the dashed line in Fig. 11-41(A). As a result, as shown in FIG. 11-41(B), a light emission effect image 037SG105E is drawn and displayed, in which radial light is slightly visible from the periphery of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. X2, Y1, Z1), that is, when the coordinates horizontally moved to the left from the above-mentioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are specified, as shown in FIG. Since the surface distance is Z1, as in the case shown in FIG. 11-41, a luminous effect image 037SG105E is drawn in which a slight radial light is visible from the periphery of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L, as in FIG. 11-41. displayed. The light emission effect image 037SG105E is a light emission effect image 037SG105E in which the closer to the center the brightness is higher and the closer to the edge the brightness is lowered, and the size of the entire image (distance from the center of the effect to the outer edge of the effect) has almost the same size as the light emission effect image 037SG105E in FIG.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 11-43(A), the coordinates of the position directly above the central decorative pattern 037SG105C and away from the first decorative pattern drawing surface by Z1. (X1, Y2, Z1), that is, when coordinates moved vertically upward from the above-mentioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are specified, as shown in FIG. A light emission effect image 037SG105E is drawn and displayed, showing a state in which the light emitted from the single light source 037SG105K is visible without being blocked by the pattern 037SG105C. The light emission effect image 037SG105E is a light emission effect image 037SG105E in which the closer to the center the brightness is higher and the closer to the edge the brightness is lowered, and the size of the entire image (distance from the center of the effect to the outer edge of the effect) has almost the same size as the light emission effect image 037SG105E in FIG.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. (X1, Y1, Z2), that is, if the above coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are moved closer to the central decorative pattern 037SG105C without changing the vertical and horizontal positions, the As shown in 11-44(B), the entire image is a light emission effect image 037SG105E larger than when the distance from the first decorative design drawing surface is Z1, and the single light source 037SG105K is the left decorative design 037SG105L. By approaching the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the light wraps around in front of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, making the contours unclear, while the single light source 037SG105K is positioned directly behind. As for the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, which has a greater distance from the single light source 037SG105K than the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the light emission effect image 037SG105E has a clear contour with less wraparound to the front. is drawn and displayed. Note that the overall luminance of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is also higher than that of the light emission effect image 037SG105E when the Z coordinate is Z1 due to the approach of the single light source 037SG105K.

Also, as the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. When the coordinates (X1, Y1, -Z3) of a position Z3 away from the front are specified, as shown in FIG. The light emission effect image 037SG105E, which does not block strong light and has a large overall image size and extremely high luminance, is drawn and displayed in substantially the entire display area of the image display device 5. be done. At this time, the left, middle, and right decoration patterns arranged behind the single light source 037SG105K are all invisible due to the light emission effect image.

As described above, in this modification 037SG-8, by specifying the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, the light emission effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the specified coordinates is automatically generated by the light emission effect drawing function of the display control unit 123. By sequentially changing (moving) these specified coordinates in chronological order, a lighting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the movement of the single light source is drawn and displayed. However, even if the specified coordinates are the same, these lighting effect drawing functions are drawn on the second decorative pattern drawing surface, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-46(A). It is possible to draw and display a lighting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the downward scrolling movement of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C by variable display.

Specifically, when the center decorative pattern 037SG105C that scrolls is drawn at a position overlapping the single light source, the light from the single light source illuminates the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, as shown in FIG. 11-46(B). 11-41(B)) is drawn and displayed, and when the scrolling center decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn at a position that does not overlap the single light source 037SG105K, As shown in 46(C''), a light emission effect image is drawn and displayed so that the light emitted from the single light source can be visually recognized without being blocked by the decoration pattern 037SG105C in the center. 11-46, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C has been described as an example, but the same applies to the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L.

As described above, in the highly functional display control unit 123 used in the modification 037SG-8, by designating the coordinates of the single light source in the virtual space, the display when the single light source 037SG105K is positioned at the designated coordinates. Since the light emission effect image 037SG105E is automatically generated and displayed, in the actual production, the process data described in chronological order for executing the production is recorded with the single light source at the time when the process data is executed. By describing the coordinates of 037SG105K, a light emission effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K described in the process data is automatically generated and combined with other effect images to display the image display device. 5 will be displayed.

Next, the display mode of the variable display and the light emission effect image 037SG105E in the modification 037SG-7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-47 and 11-51.

First, when the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of Super Reach, etc., as shown in FIGS. On the display screen of the image display home 5, the left decoration symbol 037SG105L and the right decoration symbol 037SG105R indicating the same number stop when the normal background image 5a is displayed and become ready. Then, the display of the luminous effect image 037SG105E is started behind the central decoration pattern 037SG105C which is still being displayed in a variable manner. The light emission effect image 037SG105E gradually expands in display area on the display screen of the image display device 5 as the variable display progresses, and increases in luminance.

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 11-47(C) and 11-47(D), between a plurality of central decoration patterns 037SG105C in which variable display is performed, part of the light emission effect image 037SG105E The central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed (variably displayed) moving from the top to the bottom, so that the display mode changes according to the progress of the variable display.

Furthermore, a part of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is divided between the plurality of central decorative patterns 037SG105C, between the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, and between the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C.

In addition, as the variable display progresses and the display area of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the image display device 5 is expanded and the luminance increases, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D in each of the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R changes to the light emitting effect. The brightness decreases due to the backlight by the image 037SG105E, and then the brightness of the number display portions 037SG105S in the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R decreases. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-47(E), when the light emission effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is further enlarged, finally the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105SGC, and 037SG105R are entirely blackened. As a result, the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S become invisible to the player.

More precisely, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed behind the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, first, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern are displayed. As the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D of the pattern 037SG105R decreases, the contours of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are emphasized by the light emission effect image 037SG105E. Furthermore, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is enlarged to the left side of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and to the right side of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the numerical display portions 037SG105S of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R is increased. As it decreases, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R change to black, and the pedestal part 037SG105D of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases in brightness, and the outline of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C has a light emitting effect. It is now highlighted by image 037SG105E. Then, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is further enlarged and displayed in substantially the entire display area, the brightness of the number display portion 037SG105S of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases, and the entire central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed. turns black.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11-47(F), when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entire display screen of the image display device 5 in accordance with the progress of the variable display, each image that has been displayed up to that point is displayed. The decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a are temporarily invisible to the player.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 11-48(G), 11-48(I), and 11-48(K), the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 based on the lapse of a predetermined period of time. 11-48 (G), 11-48 (I), 11-48 (K) Then, the image may be reduced and displayed toward the upper left portion of the display screen of the image display device 5, and finally hidden.

Furthermore, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is hidden, as shown in FIGS. By starting to display a different high-expectation-suggesting background image 5b, it is suggested that the variable display result will be a big hit at a higher rate than when the high-expectation-suggesting background image 5b is not displayed, or other The reach may be executed after suggesting that the ratio of the variable display results to be a big hit is higher than the reach effect, and the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R shown in FIG. 11-47 (A) are at least By displaying decorative patterns with different display modes (in the examples shown in FIGS. 11-48 (I) and 11-48 (J), the display colors of the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S are different) , suggesting that the variable display result will result in a big hit at a higher rate than when the decoration pattern with the different display mode is not displayed, or suggesting that the variable display result will result in a big hit at a higher rate than other ready-to-win effects. You may execute reach production after doing.

Furthermore, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is hidden, as shown in FIGS. Instead of displaying the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R with different modes, the ready-to-win effect is displayed after displaying the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R shown in FIG. 11-47(A) without executing any new effects. may be provided.

In addition, in this modified example 037SG-8, by using the highly functional display control unit 123, the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed during the variable display, and other items displayed on the image display device 5 by the light emission effect image 037SG105E are displayed. In this example, the effect control CPU 120 determines the movement destination coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K from the process data being executed. It can be realized by specifying and notifying the display control unit 123 of the specified coordinates.

In addition, in this modification 037SG-8, by using the highly functional display control unit 123, the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed during the variable display, and other images displayed on the image display device 5 by the light emission effect image 037SG105E are displayed. In the above example, the display control unit 123 can display the image in the virtual space of the display area of the image display device 5 as described above. As a result of simulating the positional relationship between the pattern and the single light source, each image may be drawn on a different layer for each display priority.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-49, the display control unit 123 displays a small pattern indicating that variable display is being executed on layer 1 for drawing an image with the highest display priority, and each special figure pending storage. Rendering images (images of game-related information) related to games such as pending memory number display and pending display showing numbers by numerical values, and emitting light to Layer 2 for rendering images with the highest display priority next to Layer 1. The effect image 037SG105E, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C on Layer 3 for drawing the image with the next highest display priority after Layer 2, and the left image on Layer 4 for drawing the image with the next highest display priority after Layer 3. The decorative pattern 037SG105L, the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, and the background image may be drawn on layer 5 for drawing the image with the next highest display priority after layer 4 (the image with the lowest display priority).

By doing so, when displaying the lighting effect image 037SG105E, as shown in FIG. 11-47 and FIG. In addition, the luminous effect image 037SG105E can prevent game-related information such as small symbols, reserved memory number display, and reserved display from becoming invisible to the player. can.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 11-41 to 11-27 to 11-40, in the present characteristic part 037SG, the display area of the image display device 5 always displays small symbols and the number of retained memories as game-related information. Although the form of display is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game-related information is based on the state of the game (for example, a low base state or a good base state in which the game state can be displayed variably). or whether it is a jackpot game state in which variable display is not executed), a non-display period may be provided.

As described above, in the present modification 037SG-8, as shown in FIG. 11-47, each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R is replaced with a pedestal portion 037SG105D and a number display portion 037SG105S in accordance with an increase in luminance of the light emission effect image 037SG105E. From the state in which the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S can be distinguished from each other, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S are lowered, and the outline is emphasized by the light emission effect image 037SG105E. Finally, the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are entirely blackened. In this way, by changing the visibility of the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R by displaying the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E, the player can recognize the light-emitting effect using the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E as a realistic effect. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the entertainment of the lighting performance.

Further, when the light effect image 037SG105E is displayed, as shown in FIG. 11-47, the background image 5a is not blackened by the light effect image 037SG105E unlike the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R. While becoming invisible to the player, game-related information such as small symbols, display of the number of reserved memories, and reserved display are made invisible to the player by the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E. Even in such a hidden state, it is displayed without changing the visibility so that it can be recognized by the player, so the visibility of these game-related information can be ensured. .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-48, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are blackened, according to the end of the display of the lighting effect image 037SG105E, Since the background image 5b for suggesting high expectations may be displayed instead of the background image 5a, the display of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is effective for the player in response to the background image 5b for suggesting high expectations. Since the player can be made to pay attention to the target, the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-48, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are blackened, the background is displayed according to the end of the display of the lighting effect image 037SG105E. While the background image 5b for suggesting high expectations may be displayed instead of the image 5a, the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed in the same display mode as before the light effect image 037SG105E is displayed. may be For this reason, depending on which of the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R in the same display mode as before the display of the light effect image 037SG105E and the background image 5b for suggesting high expectations and the light effect image 037SG105E is displayed, Since it is possible to attract the player's attention to the game, the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-48, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are blackened, each The decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R may be displayed in a display mode different from that before the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed. Therefore, the display mode of each of the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R may change immediately before it becomes invisible due to the lighting effect image 037SG105E and when the display of the lighting effect image 037SG105E ends. It is possible to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game due to the monotony of the light emitting performance using the .

In particular, in this modification 037SG-8, according to the display mode of each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R displayed according to the end of the display of the light effect image 037SG105E, the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit Since the ratio of execution of the ready-to-win effect in which the variable display result is a big hit is different, when the display of the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E ends, the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed in any of the display modes. It is possible to draw the player's attention to a great extent.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-41 and 11-47, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed so as to be located in front of the left and right decorative patterns 037SG105L and 037SG105R, and the light effect image 037SG105E is displayed. In some cases, the left and right decorative patterns 037SG105L and 037SG105R change to black, and then the central decorative pattern 037SG105C changes to black, thereby giving a sense of depth to the lighting effect presentation of the lighting effect image 037SG105E. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize the light emitting effect as a realistic effect, and to enhance the effect interest of the light emitting effect.

When the light emission effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed behind the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, first, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are displayed. As the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D decreases, the contours of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are emphasized by the lighting effect image 037SG105E. Furthermore, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is enlarged to the left side of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and to the right side of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases, and the central decoration. The contour of the pattern 037SG105C is emphasized by the light effect image 037SG105E. That is, in this variation 037SG-8, the left and right decorative patterns 037SG105L and 037SG105R and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C have different timings when the lightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D decreases and the outline becomes emphasized by the light emission effect image 037SG105E. As a result, the player can be made to recognize the luminous effect of displaying the luminous effect image 037SG105E as a realistic effect, so that the effect interest of the luminous effect can be enhanced.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-47, part of the light emission effect image 037SG105E overlaps the right part of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the left part of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R as if reflected or diffracted. Since it is displayed, it is possible to improve the entertainment of the lighting performance using the lighting effect image 037SG105E.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 11-41 and 11-47, in the present modification 037SG-8, the single light source 037SG105K is moved forward from the rear position of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, so that the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed. While enlarging and displaying, the center decorative pattern 037SG105C is moved and displayed (variable display) from above, that is, the middle application decorative pattern 037SG105C is moved in a direction different from that of the single light source 037SG105K. By changing the display mode of the luminous effect image 037SG105E in accordance with both the movement of the single light source 037SG105K and the movement display (variable display) of the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center, the luminous effect using the luminous effect image 037SG105E can be achieved. Since the player can be made to perceive the effect as more realistic, the interest in the effect of the light emission effect can be improved.

Depending on whether or not it is displayed, it may be possible to execute a pending display notice effect in which the ratio of the variable display result to a big win is different in the variable display corresponding to the pending display.

Furthermore, as for the pending display notice effect and the active display notice effect, the display mode of the pending display and the active display may be changed not only at the start and end of the variable display but also during execution of the variable display. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the timing at which the display mode of the pending display and the active display changes.

It should be noted that, when the display modes of the suspended display and the active display can be changed during execution of the variable display, the suspended display and the active display are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by means of the light emission effect image 037SG105E. The display mode of the display and the active display may be changed during the period when it is temporarily invisible to the player. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the display mode of the pending display or the active display is changed when the display of the light emission effect image 037SG105E ends, thereby improving the amusement of the game. .

In addition, in this modification 037SG-8, as shown in FIG. 11-47, each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R is displayed at a predetermined distance apart from each other so as not to be displayed in duplicate. is not limited to this, and as a modification 037SG-10, some of these decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R may be displayed in duplicate. In particular, the overlapping portion where these decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed in an overlapping manner has a lower brightness and light emission than the non-overlapping portion where these decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are not displayed in an overlapping manner. By changing the display mode such that the area where the effect image 037SG105E is displayed in an overlapping manner is small, the player can be made to recognize the light emission effect using the light effect image 037SG105E as a more realistic effect. , the production effect of the light emission production can be improved.

In addition, in this modification 037SG-8, as shown in FIG. 11-47, each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R is displayed as an image that does not transmit the light emission effect image 037SG105E. As a modification 037SG-11, the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S of each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are at least partly transparent and the light emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed. It may be configured as a part.

In particular, when at least a part of the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S is configured as a transmission portion through which the light emission effect image 037SG105E is transmitted and displayed, the transmission portions having different transmittances of the light emission effect image are provided. A plurality (for example, a first transmission portion and a second transmission portion having a higher transmittance of the light emission effect image 037SG105E than the first transmission portion) may be provided. By doing so, since the transmittance of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is different between the first transmission portion and the second transmission portion, the display modes of the first transmission portion and the second transmission portion can be made different. , the player can be made to recognize the lighting effect using the lighting effect image 037SG105E as a more realistic effect, and the effect of the lighting effect can be enhanced.

In addition, in this modification 037SG-8, the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entirety of the image display device 5, thereby making the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a temporarily invisible to the player. Although the embodiment has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and as modification 037SG-12, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entire image display device 5, the light emission effect image 037SG105E In addition, by displaying a special image having the same display color as the light emission effect image 037SG105E in a portion of the display area of the image display device 5 where the light emission effect image 037SG105E is not displayed, the special image is displayed after the display of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is completed. Since it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the image to be displayed is analogized or recognized by the player from the display of the light effect image 037SG105E, the light effect using the light effect image 037SG105E is preferably executed. be able to.

Further, in the characteristic portion 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-18, 11-19, and 11-22, the first additional effect and the second additional effect have a common effect image as a common effect image in the common effect portion. A mode in which a friend character and an enemy character are displayed, and common music data is used in the common effect part in the first additional effect and the common effect part in the second additional effect has been exemplified, but the present invention is this. As a modification 037SG-13, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the common friend character and the enemy character are displayed in the common effect part, while the first additional effect is displayed. , and the common effect part in the second additional effect, different music data may be used, that is, the music output from the speakers 8L and 8R may be different. By doing so, the characters displayed in the common effect part of the first additional effect and the common effect part of the second additional effect are common, but the songs output from the speakers 8L and 8R are different, It is possible to further prevent the fact that the effect image of the common effect part is an image displayed in both the first additional effect and the second additional effect is conspicuous.

11-23, the characteristic part 037SG enables the game effect lamp 9a to emit light by using common front stage effect lamp data for the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B; Although the form in which the part of the lamp data for front stage production used in the production A and the part of the lamp data for the front stage production B is different is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. is stored, and the lamp data for additional effects common to the first additional effect and the second additional effect are used to enable the game effect lamp 9a to emit light, while the first The part of the additional effect lamp data used in the additional effect and the second additional effect may be different. By doing so, while the additional effect lamp data is required for the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the effect image of the first additional effect is displayed on the image display device 5 and the second addition effect. Since the light emission mode of the game effect lamp 9a can be made different between when the effect image of the effect is displayed, the lamp data for the common effect part are redundantly stored in the ROM 121 while enhancing the effect interest of the pre-stage effect B. It is also possible to reduce waste of storage capacity due to storage.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-18 and 11-19, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the player wins with the super reach γ reach effect (fall suggestive effect). By winning with a friendly character that suggests that the variable display result will continue to be a big hit or a high base state, that is, that it is advantageous for the player, and the reach effect of super reach γ (fall suggestion effect) Although the embodiment has been exemplified in which both enemy characters suggesting that the high base state will end, that is, suggesting that it is disadvantageous to the player, the present invention is not limited to this, and the modification 037SG. As -15, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, only enemy characters that suggest that the player is at a disadvantage may be displayed. Further, when only the enemy character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, after suggesting that it is advantageous for the player by displaying only the ally character in the latter stage effect, the fall suggestion result notification effect is performed. , an image in which the ally character wins over the enemy character or an image in which the ally character is defeated by the enemy character may be displayed. By doing so, an ally character is displayed in the latter stage effect, and an image in which the ally character wins over the enemy character is displayed (the variable display result is a big win or the high base state continues). ) can raise expectations for

Further, in the characteristic portion 037SG, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 and 11-32, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, regardless of the character displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, Although the example of lighting the main lamp 9a in white has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. The light emission mode of the main lamp 9a may be changed according to the condition. For example, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, by winning in the reach effect of super reach γ (fall suggestion effect), the variable display result suggests that the big win or the high base state continues, that is, the game The main lamp 9a is lit in red when an ally character suggesting that it is advantageous to the player is displayed, and the high base state is achieved by winning with the reach effect of super reach γ (fall suggestion effect). When an enemy character is displayed that suggests that the game will end, that is, that it is disadvantageous to the player, the main lamp 9a may be illuminated in blue. As described above, when the friend character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the main lamp 9a is turned red, and when the enemy character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect. When the main lamps 9a are respectively lit in blue, the main lamps 9a are lit in white in the first light emission effect in the same manner as the characteristic portion 037SG, thereby notifying the result of the suggestion of falling after the first light emission effect. To draw a player's attention to whether or not an image (an image in which an ally character wins over an enemy character) corresponding to the fact that the variable display result is a big hit or the continuation of the high base state is displayed in the performance. can improve amusement interest.

In this modification 037SG-16, when the friendly character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, when the enemy character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, Although the embodiment has been exemplified in which the main lamp 9a is lit in different colors when the first light emission effect is executed, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first additional effect and the second additional effect are performed. When an ally character is displayed in , when an enemy character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, and when the first light emission effect is executed, the lighting color of the main lamp 9a changes. In addition, the blinking cycle, brightness, etc. may be varied.

Furthermore, as the modification 037SG-16, when the main lamp 9a is lit in white in the first light emission effect, during the execution period of the first light emission effect, as in the characteristic portion 037SG shown in FIGS. After the main lamp 9a is once turned off, the fall suggestion result notification effect may be executed. By doing this, the main lamp 9a as the first light emission effect has finished lighting in white, so that the effect image of the fall suggestion result notification effect is displayed at the timing when the player's attention tends to be increased. Therefore, it is possible to preferably improve the entertainment and entertainment by displaying the effect image for notifying the result of the fall suggestion.

In addition, in the characterizing section 037SG, the form in which both the enemy character and the ally character are displayed in any of the first additional effect, the preceding effect A, and the second additional effect that constitute the preceding effect B has been exemplified, but the present invention. is not limited to this, and as a modification 037SG-17, the character displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect may be different from the character displayed in the preceding stage effect A. For example, the image of the enemy character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, while the image of the ally character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in the preceding stage effect A. . That is, after the image of the enemy character is displayed as the effect image of the common effect portion of the first additional effect, the image of the ally character is temporarily displayed as the effect image of the preceding stage effect, and then the effect image of the common effect portion of the second additional effect is displayed. The image of the enemy character is displayed as . Also by doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from having the impression that the effect image of the common effect part is displayed as the effect image of both the first additional effect and the second additional effect, and the game is played. You can improve your interest.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, three effects of a title display effect, an enemy character emphasizing effect, and an ally character emphasizing effect are executed as the pre-stage effect A constituting the pre-stage effect B. Although the embodiment has been exemplified that does not suggest that it is advantageous to the player or disadvantageous to the player, the present invention is not limited to this. image may suggest that the player is at a disadvantage (end of the high base state). Specifically, as the front-stage effect A, it is possible to display an image in which the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the ally character, like the middle-stage effect of the characteristic portion 037SG. In this way, as the pre-stage effect A that constitutes the pre-stage effect B, a sense of urgency is added to the ready-to-reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of super reach γ by suggesting that the player is disadvantaged by the image of the teammate character. It is possible to improve the game interest.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, as the preceding stage effect A that constitutes the preceding stage effect B, three effects of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect are exemplified, but the present invention is this. As a modification 037SG-19, at least one of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect is displayed in a plurality of different display periods in the display area of the image display device 5. It may be configured in scenes. For example, the teammate character emphasis effect is composed of three scenes from the front, the first scene, the second scene, and the third scene, and the display period of the effect image in the third scene is set to be the longest, and the effect in the first scene is set. Set the shortest image display period. That is, since the display period of the effect image in one scene becomes longer as the end of the teammate character emphasizing effect approaches, the image (video) displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 can be varied. It is possible to increase the player's attention.

11-21 and 11-22, the characteristic unit 037SG separately stores the first additional effect image data and the second additional effect image data in the ROM 121, and stores the first additional effect image data and the second additional effect image data. When the effect image of the first non-common effect part and the common effect part is displayed as the additional effect, the video data for the first additional effect is used, and the common effect part and the second non-common effect part are displayed as the second additional effect. Although the form in which the second additional effect video data is used when displaying the effect image has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. The video data of the non-common performance part and the common performance part are collectively stored, only the video data for the second non-common performance part is stored as the video data for the second additional performance, and the performance of the second additional performance is performed. When displaying an image, only the video data for the common effect part in the video data for the first additional effect and the video data for the second non-common effect part may be used. Only the video data for the first non-common effect section is stored as the video data, and the video data for the common effect part and the video data for the second non-common effect part are collectively stored as the video data for the second additional effect. Alternatively, when displaying the effect image of the first additional effect, only the common effect portion video data in the first non-common effect portion video data and the second additional effect video data may be used. Further, the image data for the first non-common effect portion, the image data for the common effect portion, and the image data for the second non-common effect portion are individually stored in the ROM 121, and when the effect image of the first additional effect is displayed. , the image data for the first non-common effect portion and the image data for the common effect portion are displayed, and when the effect image of the second additional effect is displayed, the image data for the common effect portion and the image data for the second non-common effect portion are displayed, respectively. May be used in combination. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the image data for the common effect portion from being stored redundantly in the ROM 121 as the image data for the first additional effect and the image data for the second additional effect. can be suppressed, and the development cost of the overlapping part for executing the same performance in the first additional performance and the second additional performance can be suppressed.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, it is possible to control the game state to a high base state (high probability high base state) after the end of the big hit game, and every time the variable display is executed in the high base state, the falling lottery (probability variable control) Lottery for whether or not to end) is executed, and if the falling lottery is won before the 100th variable display is executed, the game state is controlled to a low probability high base state until the 100th variable display is completed. At the same time, after the 101st variable display, the game state is controlled to a low-probability-low base state, and when the falling lottery is won in the 101st-time variable display, the game state is maintained at a high-probability-high state until the 101st variable display. A mode in which the invention 037SG is applied to a pachinko game machine 1 (a so-called falling probability variable lottery machine) that controls to the base state and then controls the game state from the variable display to the low probability low base state was exemplified, but the invention 037SG is applied. The game machine to be applied may be other than the pachinko game machine 1 described in the characteristic part 037SG.

For example, it is possible to control to a plurality of high base states with different maximum variable display times to be controlled in which the time reduction control is executed after the end of the jackpot game, and the super reach of the characteristic part 037SG each time the variable display is executed a predetermined number of times Execute the production corresponding to the reach production of γ and super reach δ (for example, after the end of the big hit game, it is possible to execute the time saving control over the variable display of 50 times, 100 times, 150 times at maximum, and the 50th time, 100 times It may be applied to a game machine that executes an effect corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach γ or the super reach δ of the characteristic portion 037SG in the variable display of the first time.

Furthermore, in the characteristic part 037SG, the game state after the end of the jackpot game state was exemplified in the form of applying the invention 037SG to the pachinko game machine 1 capable of controlling the game state to a high base state, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the invention may be applied to a pachinko game machine capable of controlling only the low-probability-high base state or only the high-probability-low base state after the end of the jackpot game.

Further, in the present specification, a plurality of characteristic portions and modifications are disclosed as a form in which the invention 037SG and the invention 061SG are applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 may apply only a part of these multiple features and modifications. Furthermore, invention 037SG and invention 061SG may be applied to at least a predetermined game, which is not limited to a pachinko game machine, but may be a slot machine or a general game machine.
