Description

The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine that can be controlled in an advantageous state for a player.

As a gaming machine, game balls, which are game media, are shot into a game area by a shooting device, and when the game balls enter a prize winning area such as a prize winning opening provided in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player. There is something that can be done. Furthermore, a variable display device capable of variably displaying (also referred to as “fluctuation”) identification information is provided, and when the display result of the variable display of the identification information on the variable display device is a specific display result, the game state (game There is a so-called pachinko machine configured to change the state of the machine (ie, more specifically, the state in which the game machine is controlled) to give a predetermined game value to the player.

The game value is defined as the state of the variable winning ball device provided in the game area of the gaming machine that is advantageous to the player who is likely to win the ball, or the state that is advantageous to the player. It is to generate a right or to be in a state in which the conditions for paying out prize balls are likely to be established.

In a pachinko game machine, a predetermined specific display mode is derived and displayed as a display result of variable display of special symbols (identification information) that is started on the variable display device based on the winning of a game ball in a starting winning hole. If you do, a "jackpot" will occur. It should be noted that the derivation display means that the symbol (final stop symbol) is finally stopped and displayed. When a big win occurs, for example, the big win opening is opened a predetermined number of times, and the game shifts to a big win game state in which the ball is likely to win. Then, in each open period, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the large winning openings are won, the large winning opening is closed. The number of openings of the big winning opening is fixed to a predetermined number (for example, 15 rounds). An opening time (for example, 29 seconds) is determined for each opening, and even if the number of winnings does not reach a predetermined number, the big winning opening is closed after the opening time has elapsed. Hereinafter, the opening period of each big winning slot may be called a round. Moreover, the game in a round may be called a round game.

In addition, in the variable display device, patterns other than the final stop pattern (for example, the middle pattern among the left, middle, and right patterns) continue for a predetermined period of time and are stopped and shaken in a state in which they match a specific display result. Big wins can occur before the final result is displayed due to moving, scaling, or deformation, multiple symbols fluctuating in sync with the same symbol, or the positions of the displayed symbols changing. The production performed in the state where the sexuality is continuing (hereinafter, these states are referred to as the reach state) is called the reach production. In addition, the reach state and its state are referred to as a reach mode. Further, the variable display including the reach effect is called the reach variable display. Then, if the display result of the pattern variably displayed on the variable display device is not a specific display result, it becomes "missing" and the variable display state ends. A player plays a game while enjoying how to generate a big hit.

In such a gaming machine, there is a game machine that executes a variable effect in which the effect executed in one mode is changed to a mode with a higher degree of expectation to be controlled in a more advantageous state than the one mode. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes that an active suspension notice effect is executed in which the display mode of the active suspension display is changed from the normal mode to the special mode by the present image displayed by opening the present box.

However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Literature 1, there is room for improvement in the change effect and the effect related to the change effect.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the interest of a change performance and a performance related to the change performance.

The game machine according to the present invention is
A game machine capable of performing variable display of identification information (for example, decorative patterns) and controlling to an advantageous state (for example, a big win game state) for a player, and after the identification information becomes a ready-to-win state, the advantageous state is obtained. A ready-to-reach effect executing means capable of executing a ready-to-reach effect (for example, super ready-to-win) that suggests being controlled; , Change production that suggests being controlled in an advantageous state (for example, change the display color of title display, subtitle display, decoration pattern, cut-in display from normal color (white) to blue, green, red, gold. a change effect execution means capable of executing a chance-up effect (resurrection, etc.) that changes a defeat state to a victory state in the effect and battle effect; a suggestive effect execution means capable of executing a suggestive effect to suggest (for example, a stock effect), and the change effect executing means targets the effect suggested by the suggestive effect and the effect not suggested by the suggestive effect. (for example, it is possible to execute a non-key chance-up effect that does not go through a stock effect), and the suggestive effect executing means is a mode that suggests that there are multiple effects that are the target of the change effect (for example, an enclosure A key image with text indications such as "Death Battle between Two" and "Operation Mopping Up", and a key image with enclosed text indications such as "Title", "Subtitles", "Design", "Cut-in", and "Resurrection". is displayed), and when the change production is executed multiple times in the reach production, the number of productions targeted for the change production suggested by the suggestion production is suggested by the suggestion production. The suggestion effect is executed so that the number of effects that are the targets of the change effect is smaller (for example, if the stock effect suggests two chance-up effects (key chance-up effect), the stock effect is suggested The number of chance-up effects (non-key chance-up effects) executed without being executed is less than 2).
With such a configuration, it is possible to have expectations that the change performance will be executed even when the suggestion performance is not executed, and the number of change performances that are executed without being suggested by the suggestion performance becomes too large. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the existence value of the suggestion performance itself from being lowered.

(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.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area), a variable display (also called a special game) of special symbols (also called special symbols) as a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed. A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

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 synchronization with the first special game or the second special game, decorative patterns are variably displayed (for example, up and down direction scroll display and update display). In addition, the variable display of the special figure game and the decorative pattern that are executed in synchronism is generically called simply 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 count and the second reserved memory count is also referred to as the total reserved memory count.

In addition, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first suspension display 25A and a second suspension display 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. , the number of first reserved memories is displayed, and the second reserved display 25B displays the number of second reserved memories according to the number of lit LEDs.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

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. 2). 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.

At predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four positions on the left and right sides of the game area), there are provided general winning holes 10 which are always kept open by predetermined ball receiving members. 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.

Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning hole is provided. The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. 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 to a starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). 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 left side of the image display device 5 . Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, the normal game is executed.

Above 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 structure, 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.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the game machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 for game effects is provided at the periphery of the game area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 includes an LED.

At a predetermined position (not shown in FIG. 1) of the game board 2, a movable body 32 that operates according to the performance is provided.

A ball hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 operated by a player or the like to shoot a game ball toward the game area from the ball shooting device is provided at the lower right portion of the game machine frame 3 .

At a predetermined position of the game machine frame 3 below the game area, game balls paid out as prize balls and game balls lent from a predetermined ball lending machine are held (stored) so as to be supplied to the ball shooting device. ) is provided with a batted ball supply plate (upper plate). Below the upper plate, there is provided a batted ball supply plate (lower plate) from which prize balls are dispensed when the upper plate is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by a player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. An operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by a controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, there is provided a push button 31B that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation. An operation on the push button 31B is detected by a push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

The pachinko game machine 1 is provided with a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B as detection means for detecting actions (operations, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Overview of Game Progress)
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotation 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 immediately executed) , 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 losing pattern) other than the normal pattern per pattern is stop-displayed as the determined normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern losing". 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 big win game state or the small win game state described later (although the start win has occurred If the special game based on the starting prize 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 predetermined special symbol (a small winning symbol, for example, "2") different from the symbol is stop-displayed, it becomes a "small winning". Also, if a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big-hit symbol or the small-hit symbol is stop-displayed, it becomes "losing".

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. After the display result in the special game becomes "minor win", it is controlled to the small win game state.

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 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 opening 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, a plurality of 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. described later) are prepared, and the jackpot is obtained according to these. type is set.
As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained, and a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or almost no prize balls can be obtained.

In the small winning game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small winning game state, the same opening mode as the big winning game state when some jackpot types etc.), the big prize opening is opened. In addition, you may provide a small-hit classification also in a "small-hit" like a big-hit classification.

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, when the system is reset, a predetermined return after power-on) 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.

After the small win game state is over, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small win" is continuously controlled (however, "small win" occurs). If the special game at the time is the special game for the predetermined number of times in the above cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, there may not be a "small hit" as a display result of a special figure game.

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/or the game effect lamp 9 This may be performed by turning on/off, operation of the movable body 32, or the like.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, 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 figure game is "small hit", on the screen of the image display device 5, as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns, a fixed decorative pattern (for example, " 1, 3, 5", etc.) are derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes a "minor hit"). As an example, decoration symbols constituting a chance eye are stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the “left”, “middle” and “right” decoration symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. In addition, when the display result of the special game is a "big hit" of some jackpot types (jackpot types in the same manner as the small win game state), and when it becomes a "minor hit" , a common fixed decoration pattern may be derived and displayed.

If the display result of the special game is "Loss", 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 loss".) may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "losing", after the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("reach losing") that is not a big hit combination. (Also called) fixed decorative pattern is displayed stop (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "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 the 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. Also, during the small-hit game state, an effect during the small-hit game for notifying the small-hit game state is executed. It should be noted that during the small winning game state, some of the jackpot types (jackpot types in the jackpot game state in the same manner as the small hit game state, for example, the jackpot type in the subsequent game state high probability state) jackpot game By executing a common performance in both states, the player may not know whether the current state is a small win game state or a big win game state. In such a case, by executing a common performance after the end of the small winning game state and after the end of the big winning game state, it is made impossible to distinguish whether the state is a high probability state or a low probability state. may

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 main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100), as part of the control of the progress of the game, produces a production control command (a command to specify (notify) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game. 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. - 特許庁The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, the display result of the special game (including the jackpot type), the variation pattern used when executing the special game (details will be described later). )), game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big winning slots, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, game status), commands specifying error occurrence, and the like.

The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives the effect control command, and produces effects based on the received effect control command (various effects according to the progress of the game, (including various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, power failure recovery notification, etc.).

The performance control board 12 is equipped with a performance control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control section 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I/O 125.

The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to execute a process for executing the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above function of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed (including the decision, etc.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

(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. 3 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. 3, 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 output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3). The clear switch is mounted, for example, on the power board. When the clear switch is turned on and the power is turned on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 through the input port. If the output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3; Yes), initialization processing (step S8) is executed. In the initialization processing, the CPU 103 performs RAM clear processing for clearing flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

Moreover, CPU103 transmits the production|presentation control command which instruct|indicates initialization to the production|presentation control board 12 (step S9). When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command, for example, the image display device 5 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not ON (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power failure), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko game machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stoppage of the power supply. In the power supply stop processing, processing for turning on a backup flag indicating that data is to be backed up in the RAM 102, data protection processing for the RAM 102, and the like are executed. Data protection processing includes adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes not only various data (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.) for progressing the game, but also the states of backup flags and error detection codes. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is ON. If the backup flag is off and backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), an initialization process (step S8) is executed.

If backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the backed up data (using an error detection code) to determine whether the data is normal (step S5). In step S5, for example, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply was stopped, using a parity bit or a checksum. If it is determined that they match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply was stopped, so initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs recovery processing (step S6) to return the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply was stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 (the contents of the backed up data). As a result, the game state at the time of stopping the power supply is restored, and when the special symbols are fluctuating, the fluctuation of the special symbols is resumed from the state before restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. will be

And CPU103 transmits the production|presentation control command which instruct|indicates restoration from a power failure to the production|presentation control board 12 (step S7). In accordance with this, an effect control command that specifies the game state before the power outage that is backed up, and if the special game is being executed, the effect control that specifies the display result of the special game that is being executed You may make it transmit a command. These commands can use the same commands as the commands set for transmission in the special symbol process described later. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command specifying the recovery time from the power failure, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that the power failure has been restored or is being restored from the power failure. Display the screen for The effect control CPU 120 may perform appropriate screen display based on the effect control command.

After completing the recovery process or the initialization process and transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). 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 S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12 ). 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 timer interrupt process for game control shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby, through the switch circuit 110, the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port. 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). CPU103 by executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, management of execution and suspension of the special symbol game, control of the big hit game state and small hit game state, control of the game state, etc. are realized (details later).

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). By the CPU 103 executing normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, management of 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. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 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 prefetching and judging a display result or a 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 designating the determination result such as the generation of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination to the effect control board 12 is performed. . 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 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 a "big hit" or "small hit", and the type of the big hit in the case of "big hit". is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (any one of a big hit symbol, a small winning 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 condition for starting 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". In this variation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of variation patterns is selected using random numbers for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination as to whether the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit." including the process of determining 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". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". Moreover, when the display result is "losing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "losing", when it is controlled to the time saving state or the probability variable state, and when the end of the number cut 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.

Small hit opening pretreatment of step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "8". This small hit opening pre-processing includes a process of setting to open the big winning opening in the small win game state based on the display result being "small win". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit opening preprocessing ends.

Small hit during opening processing of step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "9". In this process during opening of the small prize, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, and the timing of returning the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. It includes processing for determining whether or not When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small winning game state comes, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the small winning open processing is ended.

Small hit end processing of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "10". This small-hit end processing includes processing of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to the period in which the performance operation for informing the end of the small-hit game state is executed elapses. Here, when the small winning game state ends, the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 before entering the small winning game state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small winning game state has passed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small winning end processing ends.

(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. 6 is executed. When the production control main process shown in FIG. 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. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process processing. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 7, 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 S177 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 hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving the production control command designating the start of the jackpot game state or the small hit game state, if the command designates the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the production process flag is set to "6". ”. On the other hand, if the command designates the start of the small-hit game state, the value of the production process flag is updated to "4", which is the value corresponding to the small-hit production process. Also, when the waiting time for receiving the command has passed without receiving a command designating the start of the big win game state or the small win game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game was "losing". Then, the value of the production process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value. When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The production process during the small hit of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "4". In this small-hit mid-performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the small-hit game state, and executes various performance controls in the small-hit game state based on the set content. . Further, in the small-hit middle production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the small-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small-hit end production. It is updated to a certain "5", and the effect processing during the small hit is ended.

The small hit end production process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In this small hit end effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the small win game state, etc., and various effect control at the end of the small win game state based on the setting content. to run. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the small winning end effect process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S176 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. Also, 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 control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the ending production process. 7", and the effect processing during the big hit is finished.

The ending effect process of step S177 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.

(Modified example of basic explanation)
The present invention is not limited to the pachinko game machine 1 described in the basic description above, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 described in the above basic description is a payout type gaming machine that pays out a predetermined number of game media as prizes based on the occurrence of winning, but the game media are enclosed and points are awarded based on the occurrence of winning. It may be an enclosed game machine.

Only one type of pattern (for example, a symbol indicating "-") is displayed during the variable display of the special pattern, and the variable display may be performed by repeating the display and extinguishing of the relevant pattern. Further, even if the pattern is displayed during the variable display, the pattern may not be displayed when the variable display is stopped (the symbol indicating "-" may not be displayed as a display result).

In the above basic explanation, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is shown as the gaming machine, but medals are inserted to set a predetermined number of bets. A slot machine capable of executing a game (for example, a big bonus , regular bonus, RT, AT, ART, and CZ (hereinafter referred to as a slot machine equipped with one or more bonuses, etc.).

The program and data for realizing the present invention are not limited to being distributed/provided on a detachable recording medium to a computer device or the like included in the pachinko game machine 1. It may be distributed by being installed in a storage device possessed by the software. Further, the program and data for realizing the present invention can be distributed by being downloaded from another device on the network connected via a communication line or the like by providing a communication processing unit.

(Description of Characteristic Portion 001IW)
Next, the characterizing portion 001IW of this embodiment will be described.

(jackpot determination table)
FIG. 8-1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a big hit determination table and a variation pattern table. Among them, FIG. 8-1(A) is an example of a big hit determination table used in this characterizing portion 001IW. As shown in FIG. 8-1(A), in this example, based on the hit determination random number, it is determined that the jackpot is about 1/300 in the low probability state, and about 1/300 in the high probability state. It is determined to be a big hit with a probability of 1/30.

In addition, not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 8-1 (A), for example, depending on whether it is the case of executing the variable display of the first special symbol or the case of executing the variable display of the second special symbol , may have different jackpot probabilities.

Further, for example, it is configured to be able to set to one of a plurality of set values with different degrees of advantage for the player. If it is possible to check the set value of or change the set value, the big hit probability may differ depending on which set value is set.

Also, a plurality of jackpot types may be provided, each having a different advantage. Specifically, according to the jackpot type, the number of rounds in the jackpot game and the game state after the jackpot game may differ. In this case, when it is determined to be a big win based on the random number for winning determination, the type of the big win is determined based on the random number for determining the type.

(Variation pattern table)
FIGS. 8-1(B) and (C) are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the variation pattern table in the characteristic portion 001IW. Among them, FIG. 8-1(B) shows a specific example of the variation pattern table for loss. Also, FIG. 8-1(C) shows a specific example of a variation pattern table for big wins. The variation pattern tables shown in FIGS. 8-1(B) and (C) are both used in the low probability state. A variation pattern table (not shown) having different determination value ratios may be used in the high-probability state and the high-base state.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1 (B), in the case of deviation, the variation pattern PA1-1 (normal variation), the variation pattern PA1-2 (shortened variation), the variation pattern PA2-1 (normal reach ), variation pattern PA2-2 (previous reach), variation pattern PA2-3 (previous reach + super reach A), variation pattern PA2-4 (previous reach + super reach B), variation pattern PA2-5 (stock production + super Reach A) and fluctuation pattern PA2-6 (stock production + super reach B) is determined as one of the fluctuation patterns.

Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-1 (C), in the case of a big hit, the variation pattern PB2-2 (previous stage reach), the variation pattern PB2-3 (previous stage reach + super reach A), the variation pattern PB2-4 (previous stage reach + super reach B), fluctuation pattern PB2-5 (stock production + super reach A), fluctuation pattern PB2-6 (stock production + super reach B) and fluctuation pattern PB2-7 (super reach C) is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns.

In this example, during the super ready-to-win after establishment of the ready-to-win, a chance-up effect to change the effect mode of the other effect (that is, to increase the expectation of the big hit suggested by the other effect) can be executed. In addition, as a production that suggests that the chance-up production will be executed before the chance-up production is executed, it is possible to execute a stock production that stocks items (keys in this example) corresponding to the suggested chance-up production. is configured to With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest during the super reach, and to increase the expectation for the stock effect and the chance-up effect. Hereinafter, executing the chance-up effect using the stocked item (key) is also referred to as releasing the stocked item (key).

In this example, as the chance-up effect, the item (key) stocked in the stock effect is used to change the effect mode of another effect, and the item (key) is used without the corresponding stock effect being executed in advance. There is a case where the effect mode of another effect is changed without using . Hereinafter, when distinguishing between the two, the former is also referred to as a key chance-up effect, and the latter is also referred to as a non-key chance-up effect.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-1(B) and (C), super reach B is configured to have a higher degree of expectation for a big hit than super reach A. FIG. In addition, the super ready-to-win where the stock performance (and the key chance-up performance) is executed has a higher expectation for big win than the super ready-to-win where the stock performance (and the key chance-up performance) is not executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to have expectations regarding which super reach will be executed and whether or not the stock effect (and the key chance up effect) will be executed.

In addition, in this example, it is possible to execute a plurality of types of super ready-to-win with different performance modes and different degrees of jackpot expectation. It is also common when Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-1 (C), when the stock effect is executed at super reach A and when the stock effect is executed at super reach B, common It is the expectation of a big hit. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily recognize the degree of expectation for a big hit, and it is possible to prevent the control and configuration of the presentation from becoming too complicated. It should be noted that, not limited to the configuration of this example, the degree of expectation for a big hit may differ for each type of super ready-to-win when the stock effect is executed.

Also, in this example, as shown in FIG. Reach A or B is executed more often. With such a configuration, it is possible to suitably execute super reach and to draw attention to which super reach is executed. In addition, it is possible to increase the interest when Super Reach C, which has a high degree of expectation and is rare, is executed. In addition, although the details will be described later, in this example, as the decorative patterns, the normal decorative patterns with white colors "1" to "6" and "8" to "9" and the normal color "7" are gold. is provided, super reach A or B is executed when a ready-to-win state is reached with a normal decorative pattern, and super reach C is executed when a ready-to-reach state is reached by a special decorative pattern. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the players pay attention to which decoration pattern is the ready-to-win state.

In addition, although the details will be described later, in this example, the chance-up effect (and stock effect) can be executed at super reach A or B, but the chance-up effect (and stock effect) is not executed at super reach C. is configured as In addition to such a configuration, in this example, as shown in FIG. The degree of expectation for a big hit is higher than when the stock performance) is executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the interest when Super Reach C is executed.

In this example, when the super reach C is executed, the big hit is confirmed. good too. In addition, super ready-to-reach C may be executed when the ready-to-reach state is reached with the normal decorative pattern, and super ready-to-reach A or B is executed when the ready-to-reach state is reached with the special decorative pattern. You may do so. However, in order to make the subsequent development different depending on the type of decoration pattern, when reaching a reach state with a special decoration pattern, the ratio of super reach C to be executed is higher than when reaching a reach state with a normal decoration pattern. High is desirable.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 8-1, super reach A and super reach B have the same variable time (that is, performance time), but not limited to such a configuration, it varies according to the type of super reach You may make it differ in time (that is, performance time). Note that even if the variable time (that is, effect time) is set to be different, the chance-up effect that can be executed and the number of keys that can be stocked may be common. By doing so, the occurrence of the chance-up effect can be prevented from becoming complicated, and the player can easily recognize the points to which the player should pay attention regardless of the effect time.

Further, not limited to the example shown in FIG. 8-1, for example, a variation pattern is provided in which the ready-to-win effect is executed after the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once or more times, and the degree of expectation for the big hit is determined according to the number of times of the pseudo-continuous effect. And the rate of developing to super reach with high expectation may be different.

(Execution timing of each production during reach)
Next, the execution timing of each effect during reach will be described. FIG. 8-2 is a timing chart showing the execution timing of each effect during reach.

FIG. 8-2(A) shows an example in which the variation pattern PA2-1 (previous stage reach) is out of line. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8-2(A), when the left and right decorative patterns other than the "7" pattern (that is, normal decorative patterns) enter the ready-to-win state, a normal ready-to-reach effect is produced in which the middle decorative pattern scrolls at a low speed as it is. After being executed, the center decoration pattern starts scrolling at high speed, the performance develops, and the front-stage ready-to-win performance is started. In the pre-stage ready-to-win effect, for example, the background screen and BGM are switched from those for normal variation to those for ready-to-win, and effect display in which characters and the like appear is performed. After that, the lost pattern is stopped and displayed without starting the outpost effect which is the outpost of the battle effect.

FIG. 8-2(B) shows an example of a variation pattern PB2-3 (previous reach+super reach A) big hit or a variation pattern PB2-4 (previous reach+super reach B) big hit. . In this case, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (B), after the left and right decorative patterns other than the "7" pattern (that is, the normal decorative pattern) are in the ready-to-win state, the normal ready-to-win production is performed, and the front ready-to-win production is executed. be. Then, an outpost effect for a battle effect, a battle effect for a battle between a friend character and an enemy character, and a winning congratulatory effect for congratulating a big win are sequentially executed.

FIG. 8-2(C) shows an example of a variation pattern PB2-5 (stock effect + super reach A) big hit or a variation pattern PB2-6 (stock effect + super reach B) big hit. . In this case, as shown in FIG. 8-2(C), after the left and right decoration symbols other than the "7" symbol (that is, the normal decoration symbol) are in the ready-to-win state, the stock effect is executed through the normal reach effect. . Then, an outpost effect, a battle effect, and a winning blessing effect are sequentially executed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-2 (B) and (C), the variation patterns PB2-3 and PB2-4 (and the variation patterns PA2-3 and PA2-4 where the display result is out) and the variation pattern PB2-5 , PB2-6 (and the fluctuation patterns PA2-5 and PA2-6 whose display results are out of line), the fluctuation patterns PB2-5 and PB2-6 (and the fluctuation patterns PA2-5 and PA2-6) are: A stock effect is executed in place of the pre-stage reach effect.

FIG. 8-2(D) shows an example of a variation pattern PB2-7 (super reach C) big hit. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (D), after the left and right decorative patterns of the "7" pattern (that is, the special decorative pattern) are in the ready-to-win state, a full rotation effect that confirms the big hit, blessing at the time of winning Performances are executed sequentially.

In this example, title display in super reach (effect of displaying title display), subtitle display (dialogue effect of displaying subtitle display corresponding to dialogue), decorative pattern (decorative design effect of displaying decorative pattern), The cut-in display (the effect of displaying the cut-in display) and the battle situation display (the effect of showing the battle situation) differ in the degree of expectation for a big hit suggested by each of the production modes, and when the corresponding chance-up production is executed. It is configured so that the mode of presentation changes (that is, the suggested degree of expectation for a big hit increases).

Further, in this example, the variation time (that is, the total effect execution time) is determined by the variation pattern determined on the main board 11 side, and whether or not to execute the stock effect associated with the variation pattern is also determined. Then, on the side of the performance control board 12, the content, execution timing, and performance execution time of the stock performance and the chance-up performance are determined based on the variation pattern. It should be noted that, not limited to the configuration of this example, a variation pattern in which the content, execution timing, and performance execution time of the stock effect and the chance-up effect are predetermined is provided, and the main board 11 side determines any of the variation patterns. can be

As shown in FIGS. 8-2 (B) and (C), in this example, the first to fifth timings (FIGS. 8-2 (B) and (C ) are provided. Further, in this example, a plurality of types of chance-up effects are provided, and when each chance-up effect is determined to be executed, it is executed at one of the corresponding first to fifth timings. Specifically, at the first timing, a chance-up effect (title) is executed for the title display (effect of displaying the title display), and at the second timing, the subtitle display (the dialogue that displays the subtitle display corresponding to the dialogue) is executed. At the third timing, the chance-up production (subtitle) for the decorative pattern (decorative pattern production that displays the decorative pattern) is executed. At the fourth timing, the chance-up production (design) is executed. A chance-up effect (cut-in) is executed for the cut-in display (effect that displays the cut-in display), and at the fifth timing, a chance-up effect ( revive).

In addition, in the variation patterns (PB2-3, PB2-4) shown in FIG. 8-2(B), since the stock effect is not executed, the chance-up effect that is executed is a non-key chance that does not use an item (key). It will be an up performance. On the other hand, in the variation patterns (PB2-5, PB2-6) shown in FIG. A key chance-up effect is produced, and when an item (key) is not used (that is, when it is not suggested in advance by the stock effect), a non-key chance-up effect is produced.

In this example, the first to fifth timings corresponding to each chance-up effect are determined for each variation pattern (or for each type of super reach), and for example, the timing differs depending on the feature of super reach. With such a configuration, it is possible to flexibly execute the chance-up effect according to the characteristics of the super reach. However, the order in which each chance-up effect is executed is common in any variation pattern (or type of super reach). For example, in both super reach A and B, the chance-up effect (title), the chance-up effect (subtitle), the chance-up effect (symbol), the chance-up effect (cut-in), and the chance-up effect (revival) are executed in this order. . With such a configuration, while the chance-up effect can be executed at the timing corresponding to the characteristics of the super reach, expectations can be given by facilitating recognition of the chance-up effect to be executed next.

In this example, the first to fifth timings are determined for each variation pattern (or for each type of super reach), but not limited to such a configuration, any variation pattern (or type of super reach) ) or common timing.

Further, the execution order of the effects to be the target of the chance-up effect is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 8-2, and may be another order. However, it is desirable that the degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be improved by the chance-up performance (for example, the degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be changed to a performance mode with a high degree of expectation for a big win) as the order of targets for the chance-up performance becomes later. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which timing the chance-up effect will be executed, and the player who has expectations for the changing timing (for example, the expectations have increased as the super reach progresses). It is possible to prevent disappointment.

As shown in FIG. 8-2(C), in this example, at timing a during the stock effect (timing (a) shown in FIG. 8-2(C)), the type of super reach executed after the stock effect. stock an item (super reach key) that suggests a chance-up effect (chance-up keys).

Hereinafter, the part that stocks the item (super reach key) that suggests the type of super reach to be executed later is also called the stock effect for reach, and the item that suggests the chance up effect to be executed later (chance up The part where the key) is stocked is also called a chance-up stock effect. In this example, two timings are provided as an opportunity to stock items (keys) in the stock effect, but the number of times is not limited to such a configuration. may

The item (super reach key) stocked at timing a (timing (a) shown in FIG. 8-2(C)) during the stock effect is used when the stock effect ends. Then, a super reach outpost effect of a type corresponding to the item (super reach key) is started.

The item (chance-up key) stocked at the timing b (timing (b) shown in FIG. 8-2(C)) during the stock effect is used at the timing corresponding to the suggested chance-up effect. For example, when a chance-up key (title) suggesting a chance-up effect (title) and a chance-up key (subtitle) suggesting a chance-up effect (subtitle) are stocked in the stock effect, the first timing (Fig. 8 At the timing of (1) shown in -2(C), the chance-up key (title) is used to execute the key chance-up effect (title), and the second timing ((2) shown in FIG. 8-2(C) is executed. ), the chance-up key (subtitle) is used to execute the key chance-up effect (subtitle).

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-2(C), the stock effect is executed in the period from when the ready-to-win state is reached to before the outpost effect of the super reach effect is started, and the chance suggested by the stock effect. The up effect is always executed in the outpost effect or the battle effect. Whether or not to execute the stock effect is determined on the main board 11 side. Specifically, execution of the stock effect is determined by determining a variation pattern including the stock effect and super reach. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a stock effect that requires a certain period of execution, and to execute the stock effect by, for example, determining whether or not to execute the stock effect based on the variation pattern on the main board 11 side. You can definitely secure the period.

In this example, as the decorative patterns, the normal colored white decorative patterns "1" to "6" and "8" to "9" (hereinafter also referred to as normal decorative patterns) and the normal colored "7" A decorative pattern (hereinafter also referred to as a special decorative pattern) is provided. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-2 (A) to (D), when executing the super reach effect after the special decoration pattern is in the reach state, the normal decoration pattern is in the reach state After the super reach effect There is a higher percentage of performing superreach C than when performing . Specifically, in the fluctuation pattern of super reach A or B, super reach A or B is executed after reaching the ready state with the normal decorative pattern, and in the fluctuation pattern of super reach C, the ready state is reached with the special decorative pattern. After that, Super Reach C is executed. As described above, in this example, it is determined that super ready-to-win C will be executed when the special decoration symbol "7" results in the ready-to-win state. I have high hopes for it. Therefore, when the left symbol stops at the special decoration symbol "7" during the variable display, the effect to incite whether the right symbol stops at the special decoration symbol "7" (for example, the speed is considerably faster than the normal speed) In the drop mode, the right symbol "7" is scrolled before the stop position, and an effect image is superimposed on the right symbol "7" and displayed (not shown in the example of FIGS. 8 to 10). you can go By doing so, it is possible to make the player aware of whether or not the game will develop into super reach C before establishing the reach, thereby enhancing interest.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-2 (B) to (D), when the variation pattern is super reach A, B, the chance up effect can be executed, but when it is super reach C , the chance-up effect is not executed.

That is, in this example, among the decorative patterns, the normal decorative patterns are targeted for the chance-up effect (design), but the special decorative patterns are not targeted for the chance-up effect (design). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which decoration pattern is in the ready-to-win state. In addition, when a ready-to-win state occurs with a special decorative pattern that is not subject to the chance-up effect (symbol), a ready-to-win effect with a higher expectation of a big hit than when the ready-to-win state occurs with a normal decorative pattern is executed, which discourages the player. When it is in a ready-to-win state with a normal decorative pattern, a ready-to-win performance with a higher expectation of a big hit than when it is in a ready-to-win state with a special decorative pattern is not executed, but the chance-up performance (design) is targeted. Therefore, the player can have expectations.

Not limited to the configuration of this example, for example, in the stock effect, a plurality of items (chance-up keys) corresponding to the chance-up effect for one effect are stocked, and the chance-up effect for the one effect is stocked. may be executed multiple times.

In addition, in this example, the outpost effect and the battle effect are always executed in the super reach, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, when the stock effect is executed, the outpost effect is omitted and the battle A production may be executed, and a chance-up production may be performed in the battle production. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the total effect execution time of reach with a high degree of expectation from becoming too long.

In addition, when providing an exception pattern that omits the outpost production of super reach, in the basic pattern that is not omitted as a premise, at the boundary between the first half of super reach (outpost production) and the latter half (battle production), super reach It is desirable that another effect image is displayed in a manner that covers the entire effect image related to , or that the effect contents are clearly separated. For example, at the boundary between the first half and the second half, an image such as an effect image or a character display may be displayed in such a manner as to cover all the effect images related to super reach. Further, for example, the production contents may be divided such that the outpost production is executed in the first half part and the battle production is executed in the second half part, or the battle scene is displayed in the first half part and the character performs a special move in the second half part. The content of the presentation may be divided by displaying a final scene such as a draw. By doing so, even when the first half of the super reach (outpost effect) part is omitted, it is possible to make the flow of the effect feel natural.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 8-2, the intervals between the stock timing and the chance-up effect execution timing are uniform for the sake of convenience. OK.

In addition, regarding the chance-up effect (resurrection), after the normal super reach A or B effect ends in a state of being defeated in the battle, a mode in which the player revives from the defeated state and battles again to win is executed. In other words, the chance-up effect (resurrection) effect may be executed after the normal super reach A or B effect. In this case, in order to ensure the execution period of the chance-up effect (revival), the variation pattern of the super reach including the chance-up effect (revival) (that is, the period during which the chance-up effect (revival) is executed during the variable time ) is provided in advance, and by selecting the variation pattern on the main board 11 side, execution of the chance-up effect (resurrection) may be determined. Further, in this case, for example, if a variation pattern of super reach including a stock effect and a chance-up effect (revival) is determined on the main board 11 side, chance-up effect (revival) and chance-up effect (revival) are selected. Execution with the corresponding chance-up stock effect may be determined.

(Execution time of each production during Super Reach)
Next, the execution time of each effect during super reach will be described. FIG. 8-3 is an explanatory diagram showing the execution time of each effect during super reach.

Of the examples shown in Figure 8-3, Figure 8-3 (A) shows the title display (effect of displaying the title display) at the first timing of Super Reach (timing (1) shown in Figure 8-3). A chance-up effect targeting is executed, and a chance-up effect targeting subtitle display (dialogue effect for displaying subtitle display) is executed at a second timing (timing (2) shown in FIG. 8-3) An example is shown in which a chance-up effect is executed for a decorative pattern (decorative pattern effect for displaying a decorative pattern) at the third timing (timing (3) shown in FIG. 8-3).

In addition, in FIG. 8-3 (B), at the first timing of super reach, a chance-up effect for title display (effect to display the title display) is executed, and at the third timing, a decorative pattern (decorative pattern is displayed) An example is shown in which a chance-up effect is executed for the decorative pattern effect to be displayed.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 8-3, before the end of variation (for example, when notifying that the game will be controlled for a big win), a movable body effect is executed in which the movable body 32 moves.

In this example, the case where the dialogue production without the chance-up production (subtitles) shown in FIG. 8-3(A) is executed and the dialogue production with the chance-up production (subtitles) shown in FIG. is executed, the execution time of the performance targeted for the chance-up performance is longer when the performance mode changes due to the chance-up performance than when the performance mode does not change due to the chance-up performance. is configured to be Specifically, the effect execution time T11 of the dialogue effect shown in FIG. 8-3(A) is longer than the effect execution time T12 of the dialogue effect shown in FIG. 8-3(B). With such a configuration, when the chance-up performance is executed, a period for executing the chance-up performance and its target performance (for example, a period for notifying the change and the performance mode after the change) is ensured. be able to.

In addition, if the effect execution time of the effect is changed depending on the presence or absence of the chance-up effect, the execution timing of other effects will be affected, so the amount of data related to effect control will increase and the processing will become complicated. There is a risk. Moreover, since the variable time (that is, the total performance execution time) is fixedly fixed in advance for each variation pattern, there is a possibility that the performance will not be completed within the time or that the time will be left over. Therefore, in this example, by varying the execution period of the movable body presentation depending on the presence or absence of the chance-up presentation, the influence on other presentations is suppressed, and all presentations are made to fit within the time period without discomfort.

That is, in this example, the effect execution time T11 of the dialogue effect shown in FIG. 8-3(A) is longer than the effect execution time T12 of the dialogue effect shown in FIG. The effect execution time T21 of the movable body effect shown in 3(A) is shorter than the effect execution time T12 of the movable body effect shown in FIG. 8-3(B). And, the effect execution time of the chance-up effect for the decorative pattern (decorative pattern effect for displaying the decorative pattern) is common.

As the movable body effect, for example, the movable body 32 is moved from the initial position to the effect position in front of the display area of the image display device 5 and is controlled to be positioned at the effect position for a predetermined period, and the image display device is displayed during the predetermined period. 5, control is performed to display an effect image or the like so as to emphasize the movable body production (at this time, the movable body 32 itself may move at the production position). When performing control to move to a position, the rendering execution time of the movable body rendering can be adjusted by lengthening or shortening the period during which the movable body 32 is positioned at the rendering position. By adjusting the effect execution time of the movable body effect in this way, it is possible to cope with minute changes in the effect time depending on whether or not there is a chance up. With such a configuration, the production execution time of the production is changed depending on the presence or absence of the chance-up production, while preventing an increase in the amount of data related to the production control and complication of the processing, and making all the productions uncomfortable. can be completed within the time frame.

Note that the adjustment of the performance time may be performed by, for example, a performance other than the movable body performance. For example, if the variable display result is a loss and the movable object effect is not executed before the end of the variation, after the effect image related to super reach is restored to the normal background image before the end of the change, a decorative pattern indicating the loss is displayed. may be adjusted by lengthening or shortening the time for which the temporary stop display is performed.

Further, in this example, the chance-up effect can be executed a plurality of times, and the execution time is varied according to the chance-up effect to be executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-3(A), the chance-up effect for decorative patterns has a longer execution time than the chance-up effect for title display and caption display. Although the details will be described later, the chance-up effect for decorative patterns has a higher expectation for a big hit than the chance-up effect for title display and subtitle display. can increase With such a configuration, various chance-up effects can be executed in a suitable execution time, and the effects of the effects can be enhanced.

Also, in this example, when one chance-up effect targeting one effect is being executed, another chance-up effect targeting another effect is not executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-3, the chance-up effect with different targets is executed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the chance-up effect being executed.

(Variable display start setting process)
FIG. 8-4 is a flow chart 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 reads the variation pattern command from the variation pattern command storage area (step 001IWS801). Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern command read in step 001IWS801 is a variation pattern including super reach C (step 001IWS802).

If the variation pattern includes super reach C (Y in step 001 IWS 802), that is, if the variation display result becomes a big hit after super reach C, the effect control CPU 120 moves the display result (stopped pattern) of the decorative pattern to the left. A combination of patterns with all the special decorative patterns on the middle right (specifically, a special decorative pattern with a normal color of "7") is determined, and the data indicating the stop pattern of the determined decorative patterns is stored in the decorative pattern display result storage area. (step 001IWS803). After that, it shifts to 001IWS 814 .

If the variation pattern does not include Super Reach C (N in step 001IWS802), the effect control CPU 120 is the variation pattern command read in step 001IWS801 and the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (i.e., received The display result (stopped pattern) of the decorative pattern is determined according to the display result specifying command), and the data indicating the stopped pattern of the determined decorative pattern is stored in the decorative pattern display result storage area (step 001IWS804).

In step 001 IWS 804, when the display result designation command indicating "missing" is received, the effect control CPU 120 selects a missing pattern in which the left, middle, and right decorative patterns do not match at all or left and right decorative patterns (specifically, normal color determines a combination of reach-lost symbols in which only white "1" to "6" and "8" to "9" normal decorative symbols match. In addition, when a display result specifying command indicating a "big hit" is received, the left, middle, and right decorative patterns (specifically, the normal colors of white "1" to "6" and "8" to "9") are displayed. A combination of patterns with all the normal decoration patterns) is determined.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the variation pattern includes super reach (step 001IWS805). Then, if the variation pattern does not include super reach, the process proceeds to step 001IWS814.

When the variation pattern includes super reach, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute each chance-up effect (step 001IWS806). In this example, whether or not to execute a chance-up effect (title), a chance-up effect (subtitle), a chance-up effect (symbol), a chance-up effect (cut-in), and a chance-up effect (revival) is determined. The details of step 001IWS 806 will be described later.

In this example, by the processing of steps 001IWS802 to S806, when super reach A and B are executed, the chance up effect is executed at a higher rate than when super reach C is executed. Also, when the super reach C is being executed, the chance-up effect (and the stock effect) is not executed. With such a configuration, when the super reach A and B with lower expectations than the super reach C are executed, the player can have expectations by increasing the execution ratio of the chance-up performance. At the same time, when super ready-to-win C with a high degree of expectation and a low execution ratio is executed, by lowering the execution ratio of the chance-up performance, it is possible to concentrate on the contents of the performance and enjoy it, thereby lowering the performance effect. can be prevented.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is a variation pattern of super reach including the stock effect (step 001IWS807). Then, if it is not a super ready-to-win variation pattern including a stock effect, the process proceeds to step 001IWS814.

In the case of the super reach variation pattern including the stock effect, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not there is a chance-up effect decided to be executed in step 001IWS806 (step 001IWS808), and the chance-up effect decided to be executed is confirmed. If not, it decides to execute a chance-up effect (title) (step 001IWS809). In addition, in step 001IWS809, for example, a chance-up production group (in this example, a chance-up production (title), a chance-up production (subtitle), a chance-up production (symbol), a chance One of them may be selected by lottery from the up effect (cut-in) and determined to be executed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the degree of expectation for a big win suggested by the executed chance-up performance from becoming higher than it actually is, and to suitably execute the chance-up performance.

In this example, when the stock effect is executed by the processing of steps 001IWS808 to S809, at least one chance-up effect is executed. A predetermined number of chance-up effects, which are at least two or three or more, may be executed. In this case, after the process of step 001IWS806 is executed once, until the number of chance-up effects determined to be executed reaches 2 (or a predetermined number of 3 or more), chance-up effects with low expectations for big hits are sequentially selected. The execution may be determined forcibly, or a re-lottery may be performed from a chance-up performance group that does not exceed 40% of the expectation of a big win in the stock performance. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the degree of expectation for a big win suggested by the executed chance-up performance from becoming higher than it actually is, and to suitably execute the chance-up performance.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect pattern of the ready-to-win stock effect in the stock effect (step 001IWS810). In addition, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the chance-up stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect determined to be executed (step 001IWS811). Details of steps 001IWS810 and S811 will be described later.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not there is a chance-up stock effect decided to be executed in step 001IWS811 (step 001IWS812). If there is no chance-up stock effect determined to be executed, the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the chance-up stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect with the highest degree of expectation among the chance-up effects determined to be executed (step 001 IWS 813). ). After that, the process moves to step 001IWS814.

In this example, by executing the processing of steps 001IWS807 to S813, in the case of the variation pattern of super reach including the stock effect, it is decided to execute at least one and up to five chance-up effects, and the decided chance-up effects to be executed. However, not limited to such a configuration, the number of chance-up effects suggested in advance by the stock effects is actually The number may be smaller than the number of chance-up effects to be executed. For example, a maximum of five chance-up effects can be executed, and the stock effect may suggest execution of a maximum of two chance-up effects. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player expect that a chance-up effect other than the chance-up effect suggested by the stock effect will be executed.

Further, in this example, it is possible to execute a key chance-up effect that is executed after the stock effect and a non-key chance-up effect that is executed without the stock effect. The number of up effects may be smaller than the key chance up effect. For example, when two key chance-up effects are suggested by the stock effect, the number of non-key chance-up effects to be executed other than the key chance-up effect may be less than two. With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the existence value of the stock presentation and improve the presentation effect.

At step 001IWS814, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table corresponding to the content of the variation pattern and the determined effect (step 001IWS814).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table (step 001IWS815).

The process table is a table in which process data referred to when the effect control CPU 120 executes control of the effect device is set. That is, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect devices (parts for effect) such as the image display device 5 according to the process data set in the process table. The process table is composed of data in which a plurality of combinations of process timer setting values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data and sound number data are collected. The display control execution data includes data indicating each variation mode constituting the variation mode during the variable display time (variation time) of the variable display of the decorative pattern. Specifically, data related to changing the display screen of the image display device 5 is described. In addition, the process timer set value is set with a variable time in the mode of variation. The effect control CPU 120 refers to the process table, and performs control to display the decoration pattern in the variation mode set in the display control execution data for the time set in the process timer set value. Also, the process table is stored in the ROM of the effect control board 80 . Also, the process table is prepared according to each variation pattern.

In addition, in the process table used when performing the effect control for the variation pattern involving the ready-to-win effect, the left symbol is stopped when a predetermined time has passed since the start of the variation, and the right symbol is stopped when a predetermined time has passed. Process data indicating to display is set. In addition, instead of setting the symbols to be stopped and displayed in the process table, an image for displaying the symbols is synthesized and generated according to the determined stop symbols, the temporary stop symbols in the simulated run and the sliding effect. may

In addition, the production control CPU 120 controls the production device (the image display device 5 as the production component, the production component as the Various lamps and speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts are controlled (step 001IWS816). 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 .
In addition, it 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.

By executing the processing of step 001 IWS 816, an effect corresponding to the variation pattern and the content determined to be executed is realized.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the variable time timer to a value corresponding to the variable time specified by the variable pattern command (step 001IWS817).

Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the value of the effect control process flag to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172) (step 001IWS818).

Next, the details of the processing (step 001IWS806) for determining whether or not to execute each chance-up effect in the variable display start setting processing will be described.

At step 001 IWS 806, for example, each chance-up effect execution determination table shown in FIGS. 8-5(A) to (E) is sequentially referred to, and whether or not to execute each is determined.

Specifically, first, with reference to the chance-up effect (title) execution determination table shown in FIG. 8-5(A), it is determined whether or not to execute the chance-up effect (title). In the example shown in FIG. 8-5(A), execution is determined at a rate of 45% in the case of a big hit, and execution is determined at a rate of 55% in the case of a loss. In this case, the percentage of a big win (big win expectation) when the chance-up effect (title) is executed is 25%. In the example shown in FIG. 8-5, to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that when the chance-up effect is executed, the display color of the target effect uniformly changes to red. An example in which multiple post-change modes are provided is disclosed as a modification in FIGS. 8-8.

Next, with reference to the chance-up effect (subtitle) execution determination table shown in FIG. 8-5(B), it is determined whether or not to execute the chance-up effect (subtitle). In the example shown in FIG. 8-5(B), execution is decided at a rate of 50% in the case of a big hit, and execution is decided at a rate of 50% in the case of a loss. In this case, the percentage of a big win (big win expectation) when the chance-up effect (subtitle) is executed is 29%.

Next, with reference to the chance-up effect (symbol) execution determination table shown in FIG. 8-5(C), it is determined whether or not to execute the chance-up effect (symbol). In the example shown in FIG. 8-5(C), execution is decided at a rate of 55% in the case of a big hit, and execution is decided at a rate of 45% in the case of a loss. In this case, the percentage of a big win (big win expectation) when the chance-up effect (symbol) is executed is 33%.

Next, with reference to the chance-up effect (cut-in) execution determination table shown in FIG. 8-5(D), it is determined whether or not to execute the chance-up effect (cut-in). In the example shown in FIG. 8-5(D), execution is decided at a rate of 60% in the case of a big hit, and execution is decided at a rate of 40% in the case of a loss. In this case, the percentage of a big win (big win expectation) when the chance-up effect (cut-in) is executed is 38%.

Next, with reference to the chance-up effect (resurrection) execution determination table shown in FIG. 8-5(E), it is determined whether or not to execute the chance-up effect (resurrection). In the example shown in FIG. 8-5(E), execution is decided at a rate of 10% in the case of a big hit, and execution is decided at a rate of 0% in the case of a loss. In this case, the percentage of a big win (big win expectation) when the chance-up effect (resurrection) is executed is 100%.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-5 (A) to (E), each chance-up effect is more likely to be executed at the time of a big hit than at the time of losing, and when executed, it is higher than when it is not executed. is also configured to increase the expectation of a big hit. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player expect that the chance-up effect will be executed.

In addition, in this example, when the chance-up effect is executed, the display color of the target effect uniformly changes to red. It is configured such that the degree of expectation for a big hit is different for each chance-up performance. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which chance-up effect is to be executed.

In addition, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-5 (A) to (E), it is possible to execute a plurality of types of super ready-to-win with different production modes and different jackpot expectations, but the chance-up production was executed. The degree of expectation for a big hit is common when any of the plurality of types of super reach is executed. Specifically, the degree of expectation for a big hit when each chance-up effect is executed is common to both super reach A and B.例文帳に追加With such a configuration, it is possible to easily recognize the degree of expectation for a big hit, and it is possible to prevent the control and configuration of the presentation from becoming too complicated. It should be noted that, without being limited to the configuration of this example, the degree of expectation for a big hit in the chance-up effect may differ according to the type of super reach.

In addition, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-5 (A) to (E), the degree of expectation for a big hit is higher as the timing of the target of the chance-up effect changes later. It is With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which timing and which chance-up effect targeting which effect is executed.

In this example, if the target performance is the same, the degree of expectation for big win is common between the key chance-up performance executed through the stock performance and the non-key chance-up performance executed without the stock performance. Since it is configured as above, it is possible to easily recognize the degree of expectation for a big hit. It should be noted that this configuration is not limited to such a configuration, and even when the same performance is targeted, it is configured so that the degree of expectation for a big hit differs between the key chance-up performance and the non-key chance-up performance, and attention is paid to whether or not the stock performance is executed. You can let it run.

Next, the details of the processing (step 001IWS810) for determining the rendering pattern of the ready-to-win stock rendering in the variable display start setting processing will be described.

At step 001IWS810, for example, the effect pattern is determined by referring to the ready-to-win stock effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-6(A).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-6(A), when the variation pattern includes Super Reach A, the "Fight for Two" Super Reach key corresponding to the content of Super Reach A is stocked. When the first performance pattern is determined and the variation pattern includes super reach B, the second performance pattern of stocking the "sweep operation" super reach key corresponding to the performance content of super reach B is determined.

In this example, since the easiness of executing the stock effect differs depending on the type of super ready-to-win (see FIGS. 8-7, which will be described later), it is possible to draw attention to which effect pattern the stock effect for ready-to-win will be.

Next, in the variable display start setting process, the details of the process (step 001IWS811) of determining whether or not to execute the chance-up stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect decided to be executed will be described.

At step 001 IWS 811, the chance-up stock effect execution determination table shown in FIGS. 8-7(A) to 8-7(E) corresponding to the chance-up effect determined to be executed is sequentially referred to, and execution/non-execution of each is determined.

Specifically, when it is decided to execute the chance-up effect (title), the chance-up effect (title) is referred to the stock effect execution decision table for the chance-up (title) shown in FIG. 8-7(A). It determines whether or not the stock effect corresponding to (title) is to be executed, that is, whether or not the "title" chance-up key is stocked in the chance-up stock effect.

In addition, when it is decided to execute the chance-up effect (subtitles), the chance-up effect (subtitles) is executed by referring to the stock effect execution decision table for chance-up (subtitles) shown in FIG. 8-7(B). , that is, whether or not to stock the "subtitle" chance-up key in the chance-up stock effect.

Further, when the execution of the chance-up effect (symbol) is determined, the chance-up effect (symbol) is executed by referring to the stock effect execution decision table for the chance-up (symbol) shown in FIG. 8-7(C). , that is, whether or not to stock the "symbol" chance-up key in the chance-up stock effect.

Further, when the execution of the chance-up effect (cut-in) is determined, the chance-up effect (cut-in) is executed with reference to the chance-up (cut-in) stock effect execution determination table shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the stock effect corresponding to the cut-in) is to be executed, that is, whether or not the "cut-in" chance-up key is stocked in the chance-up stock effect.

Further, when the execution of the chance-up effect (revival) is determined, the chance-up effect (revival) is executed by referring to the chance-up (revival) stock effect execution determination table shown in FIG. 8-7(E). , that is, whether or not to stock the "revival" chance-up key in the chance-up stock presentation. In the chance-up performance (resurrection), a chance-up key (resurrection) is used to show a big hit after the super reach that is being executed is once lost. For example, in the "death battle between two" super reach shown in FIG. When the middle pattern that does not correspond to the reached reach is displayed in the middle of the screen, or when the super reach screen returns to the normal fluctuation screen and the missing pattern is stopped), move on the screen A flying mini-character inserts a chance-up key (resurrection) into the lost pattern and changes it to a winning pattern corresponding to the reach. The mode of the chance-up effect (resurrection) is not limited to this. For example, in a scene in which an ally character is defeated by an enemy character, the chance-up key (revival) is used to rewind the effect and the ally character wins. You may perform such a way of showing.

In this example, when the stock effect and the chance-up effect with high expectation of big win are executed, the ratio of execution of stock effect for chance-up corresponding to the chance-up effect with high expectation of big win is higher than the ratio of non-execution of the chance-up effect. is higher. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-7, when the execution of the chance-up effect (resurrection) is determined, the chance-up stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect (resurrection) is executed at a high rate. Also, for example, when the stock performance and a plurality of chance-up performances are executed, the chance-up performance with a relatively high expectation among the plurality of chance-up performances is supported as compared with the chance-up performance with a relatively low expectation. The rate at which the chance-up stock effect is executed is higher. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-7, when the chance-up production (title), the chance-up production (subtitle), and the chance-up production (cut-in) are determined to be executed, the chance-up production (revival) is performed. The rate at which the corresponding chance-up stock effect is executed is high.

In this example, it is possible to improve the interest by making it possible to suggest the production that is the target of the chance-up production by the stock production, but on the other hand, depending on the suggested production, it may be suggested that the expectation is too high. be. Therefore, by making it possible to execute a chance-up effect not suggested by the stock effect, the player can maintain his sense of expectation. However, when the chance-up production with high expectations is executed, the stock production that suggests the chance-up production is not executed, or the stock production that suggests the chance-up production different from the chance-up production is executed. If so, the existence value of the stock production itself may decrease. Therefore, when a chance-up effect with a high degree of expectation is executed, the ratio of execution of the stock effect suggesting that the chance-up effect is executed is increased. With such a configuration, the stock effect and the chance-up effect can be preferably executed, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced mutually.

Also, in this example, the degree of expectation for the big win when the chance-up performance except for the chance-up performance (resurrection) for finalizing the big win is executed is lower than the degree of expectation when the stock performance is executed. Specifically, when the stock effect is executed as shown in FIG. When the chance-up production (title) is executed, the jackpot expectation is 25%, when the chance-up production (subtitle) is executed, the jackpot expectation is 29%, and when the chance-up production (design) is executed. The degree of expectation for a big hit is 33%, and the degree of expectation for a big hit when the chance-up effect (cut-in) is executed is 38%. With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the value of the stock effect and draw attention to whether or not it is executed.

Not limited to this configuration, for example, when the chance-up production (symbol) or the chance-up production (cut-in) is executed, the jackpot expectation level is set to exceed 40% when the stock production is executed. may However, in this case, in steps 001IWS807 to S809, when there is no chance-up effect determined by lottery in the super reach variation pattern including the stock effect, the chance-up effect (symbol) or chance-up effect (cut In) is not determined to be executed, and a chance-up effect (title) or a chance-up effect (subtitle) is executed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the degree of expectation for a big win suggested by the executed chance-up performance from becoming higher than it actually is, and to suitably execute the chance-up performance.

In this example, the stock effect is configured to suggest the type of super reach and the chance-up effect in a manner that can be specified, but it is suggested that the chance-up effect with a low expectation is superimposed on the super reach with a low expectation. If so, it will be visualized that it is a combination of effects with an extremely low degree of expectation, which may disappoint the player. Therefore, in this example, when super reach with a relatively low expectation is executed, and both a chance-up effect with a relatively low expectation and a chance-up effect with a relatively high expectation are executed, in the stock effect , A chance-up effect with a relatively high expectation is executed rather than suggesting that a chance-up effect with a relatively low expectation is executed after suggesting that a super reach with a relatively low expectation is executed. It is designed to increase the percentage of suggestions that Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-7, when super reach A is executed and both the chance-up production (title) and the chance-up production (revival) are executed, the stock production for chance-up , The chance-up production (revival) is more likely to be suggested than the chance-up production (title). In addition, when super reach A is executed and both the chance-up production (title) and the chance-up production (cut-in) are executed, the chance-up stock production is higher than the chance-up production (title). The ratio of directing (cut-in) is high. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged by the combination of the super reach and the chance-up effect suggested in the stock effect.

Further, in this example, when super reach with a relatively high degree of expectation is executed, and both a chance-up effect with a relatively low degree of expectation and a chance-up effect with a relatively high degree of expectation are executed, in the stock effect , A chance-up effect with a relatively high expectation is executed rather than suggesting that a chance-up effect with a relatively low expectation is executed after suggesting that a super reach with a relatively high expectation is executed. It is designed to increase the percentage of suggestions that Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-7, when Super Reach B is executed and both the chance-up effect (title) and the chance-up effect (revival) are executed, in the chance-up stock effect, The chance-up production (revival) is more likely to be suggested than the chance-up production (title). In addition, when super reach B is executed and both the chance-up production (title) and the chance-up production (cut-in) are executed, the chance-up stock production is higher than the chance-up production (title). The ratio of directing (cut-in) is high. With such a configuration, the occurrence of a situation in which the player feels dissatisfied or unsatisfactory with respect to the combination of the super ready-to-win with a relatively high expectation and the chance-up performance with a relatively low expectation is suppressed, and the relatively high expectation is suppressed. It is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation for the combination of the super reach with a high probability and the chance-up performance with a relatively high degree of expectation.

Also, in this example, the stock effect is executed at a higher rate when super reach with a relatively high degree of expectation is executed than when super reach with a relatively low degree of expectation is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, the chance-up stock effect is executed more frequently when super reach B is executed than when super reach A is executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the stock effect is executed, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the effect when the stock effect is executed.

Also, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-5(E), a chance-up effect (resurrection) that is executed when a big win is achieved as a chance-up effect can be executed, and is shown in FIG. 8-7(E). In this way, it is possible to specifiably suggest that the chance-up effect (resurrection) is executed as the stock effect. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the contents of the stock presentation, and to enhance the presentation effect of the stock presentation.

(Modification 1)
Here, a modified example in which a plurality of types of modes are provided after changing by the chance-up effect will be described. FIG. 8-8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a mode after the change of each chance-up effect, an example of the degree of expectation of the mode after the change of each chance-up effect, and an example of the execution priority of the corresponding stock effect in the modification. be.

In the modifications shown in FIGS. 8-8 (A) and (B), there are provided a plurality of types of modes after the change due to the chance-up effect, and each mode after the change is configured to have a different degree of expectation for a big hit. there is Specifically, it is configured such that the degree of expectation for a big hit increases in the order of blue<green<red<gold.

In addition, in the modifications shown in FIGS. 8-8 (A) and (B), the type of mode after the change is different between the chance-up effect with a high degree of advantage and the chance-up effect with a low degree of advantage (in other words, expect a big hit. different possibility of changing to a high degree mode). Specifically, in the case of title display, the color changes to blue or green, and in the case of cut-in display, which is more advantageous than title display, the color changes to green, red, or gold. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which effect the chance-up effect is to be executed.

In addition, in the modifications shown in FIGS. 8-8 (A) and (B), the combination of the target of the chance-up effect and the state after the change suggests the degree of expectation for a big hit, and the higher the degree of expectation for a big hit, the corresponding stock It is configured so that the execution priority of the production is high. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to which performance the chance-up performance is to be executed and in what manner it changes, and to cope with the chance-up performance with a high degree of advantage. The stock effect can be executed with priority.

(Modification 2)
Next, a modified example of execution of the chance-up stock effect will be described. FIG. 8-9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the degree of expectation of each chance-up effect, the execution priority of the corresponding stock effect, and an example of combinations prohibited in the chance-up stock effect in the modification.

FIG. 8-9(A) shows a modified example of the degree of expectation of each chance-up effect and the execution priority of the corresponding stock effect. In the modification shown in FIG. 8-9(A), the execution priority of the stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect with the low expectation is set high.
Specifically, if it is decided to execute both the chance-up production (title), the chance-up production (subtitle), the chance-up production (cut-in), and the chance-up production (revival), the chance-up production (revival) Stock effects corresponding to chance-up effects (title), chance-up effects (subtitles), and chance-up effects (cut-in) are executed with priority. Also, for example, when the number of chance-up stock effects decided to be executed in the processing of step 001IWS811 is not one or more, instead of the processing of step 001IWS813, the chance-up effect (title) or the chance-up effect (title) is selected rather than the chance-up effect (revival). A stock effect for chance up corresponding to the up effect (subtitle) and the chance up effect (cut-in) is preferentially determined to be executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the degree of expectation suggested when the stock effect is executed from becoming too high.

Further, in the modification shown in FIG. 8-9 (A), when it is decided to execute both the chance-up production (title), the chance-up production (subtitle), and the chance-up production (cut-in), the chance-up production ( A stock effect corresponding to a chance-up effect (title) or a chance-up effect (subtitle) is given priority over cut-in). Also, for example, when the number of chance-up stock effects determined to be executed in the processing of step 001IWS811 is not one or more, instead of the processing of step 001IWS813, the chance-up effect (title) or The stock performance for chance up corresponding to the chance up performance (subtitle) is preferentially determined to be executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the degree of expectation suggested when the stock effect is executed from becoming too high.

Further, when the stock effect and a plurality of chance-up effects are executed, if the stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect with a relatively high degree of expectation is executed, other chance-up effects with a relatively high degree of expectation are executed. The stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect with a relatively low degree of expectation may be executed at a higher rate than the stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect. For example, if the combination of the chance-up stock effect decided to be executed corresponds to the prohibited combination in the chance-up stock effect shown in FIG. It may be so arranged that the combination of the stock effect corresponding to the high-expectation chance-up effect is not obtained. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a plurality of chance-up effects with a high degree of expectation from being suggested, thereby preventing the degree of expectation from rising too much, and preferably suggesting the degree of expectation.

(Production example)
Next, a specific example when the decorative pattern is in the reach state will be described. FIGS. 8-10 are explanatory diagrams showing a specific example when the decoration pattern is in the ready-to-win state.

In the specific example shown in FIGS. 8-10, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1) (2A) (3A) or in the order of (1) (2B) (3B). Figures 8-10 (1) (2A) (3A) show a specific example in which the white normal decoration pattern "6" is in the reach state, and Figures 8-10 (1) (2B) (3B) shows a specific example in which the golden special decoration pattern "7" is in the reach state.

In the former example, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (1), the image display device 5 starts variable display, and as shown in FIG. A white normal decoration pattern "6" is displayed, and a white normal decoration pattern "6" is displayed in the right decoration pattern display area 5R of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. The normal decoration pattern "6" is in the reach state. After that, the pre-stage reach effect (corresponding to FIG. 8-11 (1) described later) or stock effect (corresponding to FIGS. 8-12 to 8-13 described later) is executed, and super reach A or B (chance up ), and as a result of the variable display, a big hit pattern or a losing pattern is displayed (corresponding to FIGS. 8-14 to 8-15, which will be described later). It should be noted that there is also a case where the pre-stage ready-to-win effect does not develop into super ready-to-win, and a lost symbol is displayed (corresponding to 8-11 (3) described later).

In the latter example, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (1), the variable display is started in the image display device 5, and as shown in FIG. A gold special decoration pattern "7" is displayed, and as shown in FIG. Special decoration pattern "7" will be in the reach state. At this time, a glowing effect display is displayed around the special decoration pattern "7", and a special sound effect used when the special decoration pattern is in the ready-to-win state is output. After that, it develops to Super Reach C, and a big hit pattern is displayed as a variable display result.

In this example, when the special decorative pattern is in the ready-to-win state, the ready-to-win state is notified in a manner that is easier to recognize than when the normal decorative pattern is in the ready-to-win state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. As shown in -10 (3B), when the "7" special decoration pattern (gold pattern) is in the reach state, the effect display that shines around the "7" special decoration pattern (gold pattern) is recognized. It is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, and a special sound effect is output. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily recognize that the expected reach state is high (that is, the expected super reach C is reached).

Further, in this example, since the degree of expectation for a big win is higher when the stock effect is executed than when the stock effect is not executed, the player expects the occurrence of the stock effect. Therefore, for example, in the normal reach before the start of the super reach (for example, in the image display device 5 shown in FIG. 8-10 (3A), the left and right patterns are tense and the middle pattern is fluctuating), the stock effect is An effect suggesting execution or an effect inciting whether or not it will be executed may be executed. For example, when the stock effect is executed, in the normal reach state, a special symbol such as a "key stock time symbol" as a middle symbol may be stopped to shift to the stock effect. Further, for example, when the stock effect is executed, in the normal ready-to-win state, the medium pattern starts to fluctuate at high speed, and after the screen is changed to the super ready-to-win (white out or the like to cover the display area of the image display device 5), the super You may make it shift to stock production instead of reach outpost production.

(previous reach performance)
Next, a specific example of the pre-stage ready-to-win effect will be described. FIG. 8-11 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the pre-stage ready-to-win effect. Note that in the specific example shown in FIGS. 8-11, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

Specifically, when the ready-to-win effect is started in the normal decoration pattern "6", the character is displayed in the central part of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 8-11 (1). be. Then, when developing from the pre-stage reach production to super reach, for example, a decorative pattern indicating development in the middle pattern (for example, a pattern with the characters "development" etc.) is displayed, Super reach A or B (chance up It may be accompanied by production). After that, a big hit pattern or a losing pattern is displayed as a variable display result (corresponding to FIGS. 8-14 to 8-15 which will be described later). If it does not develop into super ready-to-win, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8-11(3), the combination of the winning symbols is confirmed and displayed. In this case, for example, an image showing failure is reproduced as the effect result of the pre-stage ready-to-win effect. It should be noted that there is also a case where the combination of big hit symbols is confirmed and displayed without developing from the pre-stage ready-to-win production to the super ready-to-win, resulting in a big win. In this case, the normal decoration pattern which is a combination of the middle pattern and the big hit pattern is stopped. In the case of the big hit after developing from the pre-stage ready-to-reach production to the super ready-to-win production, and the case of the big hit from the previous-stage ready-to-reach production as it is, in both cases, a video showing success is reproduced as the production result, but the content is different. ing. With such a configuration, it is possible to execute a suitable effect according to what kind of effect the jackpot is achieved.

In this example, when the left and right decorative patterns other than the "7" pattern (that is, the normal decorative pattern) enter the ready-to-win state, the middle decorative pattern scrolls at high speed after a normal ready-to-reach effect is executed in which the middle decorative pattern scrolls at a low speed. For the first time, the production develops, and the first stage reach production is started. In the pre-stage ready-to-win production, the background screen and BGM are switched from those for normal variation to those for ready-to-win games, or an effect display in which characters and the like appear is performed. Then, if the pre-stage ready-to-win production does not develop into the super ready-to-win and is lost, the lost pattern is displayed in the flow of the production display (for example, video, background screen, BGM) related to the pre-stage ready-to-reach production, and then, as shown in FIG. -11 As shown in (3), the background screen and BGM return from reach to normal fluctuation. In addition, even if the background screen or BGM is switched from normal fluctuation to reach, even if it becomes a big hit after super reach or without super reach, the background screen or BGM will eventually change from reach. It returns to the normal variation and becomes a state in which a big hit pattern is displayed.

In this example, when the ready-to-win performance is executed, it is possible to display the decoration pattern in the ready-to-win state at a predetermined display position in a smaller size than before the ready-to-win performance is executed. Specifically, reach effects shown in FIGS. 8-11 to 8-14 (specifically, front reach effects, stock effects, Outpost effect, battle effect, etc.) are displayed in a smaller size in the upper left and upper left parts of the image display area. With such a configuration, before reaching the ready-to-win state, attention can be paid to whether or not the decoration pattern will be in the ready-to-win state, and after reaching to the ready-to-win state, the visibility of the ready-to-win performance can be ensured to attract attention.

In addition, in this example, when the ready-to-win effect or the stock effect is started after the ready-to-win effect is established, as shown in FIGS. It is displayed in a swinging manner. Exceptionally, when the chance-up effect (symbol) is executed, it is displayed in a violently swinging manner (details will be described later).

In this example, the stock effect and the chance-up effect are not executed so as not to make the player expect too much in the pre-stage reach effect, but not limited to such a structure, even in the pre-stage reach effect, for example A pattern in which the items and costumes worn by the appearing characters are different from the normal pattern, or an effect in which the character changes to a different pattern from the normal pattern may be provided to improve the degree of expectation for the big win.

(stock production)
Next, a specific example of the stock effect will be described. 8-12 and 8-13 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of stock effects. FIGS. 8-12 to 8-13 suggest that super reach A is executed in the stock production for reach, and in the stock production for chance up, chance up production (subtitle) and chance up production (subtitle) A specific example suggesting that the symbol) is executed is shown. Note that in the specific examples shown in FIGS. 8-12 to 8-13, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

Specifically, when variable display is started and ready-to-win is established, a normal decoration design indicating "6" is displayed in the left decoration design display area 5L and the right decoration design display area 5R of the image display device 5. Then, at the start timing of the stock effect, as shown in FIG. 8-12(1), the image display device 5 displays the title display of the stock effect, "key stock" and "TIME". Note that the display mode of the title display may indicate the number of items (keys) to be stocked in the stock effect to be started later, or that many items (keys) are to be stocked. For example, the title display is generally displayed in the normal color (white), but when it is displayed in red, the number of items (keys) stocked is greater than when it is displayed in the normal color (white), It may be suggested that an item (key) with a high probability of a big hit be stocked.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (1), the active display AH is displayed on the lower left side of the display area of the image display device 5 as the active display, except during special effects, etc., and corresponds to the special symbol. A small pattern KZ and a reserved memory count HS indicating the reserved memory count are displayed on the central right side of the display area of the image display device 5 .

Next, when the stock effect is started, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (2), a "key stock TIME" display 001IWG02 indicating that the stock effect is in progress is displayed. Also, when it comes to the execution timing a of the ready-to-win stock effect, as shown in FIG. "Fight between two people", "mopping up operation") is displayed, along with a character A prompting the user to press the push button 31B, an operation effective period, and an image simulating the push button 31B.

Then, when the pressing operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation effective period (or when the operation effective period elapses), as shown in FIG. ``Fight between the two'', a character display of ``stock'' indicating that the key is stocked as an item, an image imitating the key, and an effect image emphasizing them are displayed in a manner covering the background image.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-12(4), the key with the encircled character display "Two Deadly Fight" is moved from the upper left to the lower right of the screen of the image display device and stocked (for example, , the key appears to fly from the left back side of the screen and be stocked at the right front side of the screen).

When the effect display for stocking the key (that is, the super ready-to-win key) ends, and then the execution timing b of the chance-up stock effect comes, as shown in FIG. A plurality of chance-up effects suggesting images corresponding to each of the up effects (enclosed character display "title", "subtitle", "pattern", "cut-in", "revival") are displayed, and the push button 31B is pressed. A character A prompting an operation, an operation effective period, and an image simulating the push button 31B are displayed. In this example, an effect display prompting the user to press the push button 31B is performed at execution timing a and execution timing b of the stock effect, but the character A poses differently. Therefore, even if the effect for prompting the pressing operation is performed a plurality of times, the interest of each timing can be improved without boring the player.

Then, when the pressing operation of the push button 31B is detected during the operation valid period (or when the operation valid period passes), as shown in FIG. , a character display of "stock" indicating that the key is stocked as an item, an image imitating two keys, and an effect image emphasizing them are displayed in a manner covering the background image.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-13 (7), the key with the enclosing character display "design" and the key with the enclosing character display "caption" are moved from the upper left to the lower right of the screen of the image display device. An effect display in which the key is moved and stocked (for example, a display in which a key appears to fly from the left rear side of the screen and is stocked at the right front side of the screen) is performed.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-12 (2) to (7), a plurality of suggestive images corresponding to each of multiple types of super reach (enclosed character display "Two people" shown in FIG. 8-12 (2) "death battle", "mopping up operation") is displayed and one of them is selected and displayed, and after erasing the selected and displayed suggestive image, a plurality of suggestive images corresponding to each of the multiple types of chance-up effects (Fig. 8-12 (5) Enclosed character display "title", "caption", "pattern", "cut-in", "resurrection") is displayed, and the stock effect is executed in the effect mode in which one of them is selected and displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to visualize a plurality of types of selectable super ready-to-win and a plurality of types of chance-up effects, thereby enhancing the effect of the effects. As for the suggestive image corresponding to the chance-up effect (resurrection), the player can easily understand that the big win will occur after the losing pattern is displayed, that is, the development that the big win will be confirmed if selected. Therefore, it is possible to make a mode different from other options, such as displaying characters in a special mode (for example, rainbow color) that occurs only when a jackpot is confirmed as a rule specific to the model of the gaming machine. . In addition, for suggestive images corresponding to the chance-up production (resurrection), the effect when stocked in the stock production is different from the production when other suggestive images are stocked. may be made different to appeal (to make it easier for the player to recognize).

When the effect display in which the key (that is, the chance-up key) is stocked ends and the stock effect comes to an end, a keyhole image is displayed in the central portion of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 8-12 (8). be.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-13(9), there is an effect display in which the character A located on the front side of the screen throws the key image 001IWG12 toward the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 located on the back side of the screen. done.

8-13 (10), a key image 001IWG12 and a keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 are displayed as an effect display that the key is stuck in the keyhole, and an effect that the key turns in the keyhole (that is, the key is unlocked). As a display, a key image 001IWG12 rotated from a keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed as shown in FIG. 8-13(11).

When the effect display of turning the key through the keyhole (that is, unlocking the key) is performed, as shown in FIG. ``Fight between the two'', a character display of ``Character A VS Enemy Character B'' indicating a battle card in the battle presentation, Character A and Enemy Character B are displayed, and the stock presentation ends.

In this example, when executing the super reach including the stock effect, the stock effect is executed after the reach is established. Next, an outpost effect such as a speech effect in which the character A and the enemy character B face each other and have a conversation is mainly executed, and a chance-up effect is additionally executed. After that, a battle effect is executed in which the character A and the enemy character B exchange swords. In addition, when executing the super ready-to-win which does not include the stock effect, the pre-stage ready-to-win effect is executed after the ready-to-win is established. Next, the outpost production is executed, and the battle production is executed.

In the example shown in FIG. 8-13 (12), the battle card for the battle production is "Character A VS Enemy Character B", but in reality there are multiple types of battle cards (types of friendly characters and enemy characters). are different) are provided, and the battle card is determined according to the type of super reach. For example, in addition to or instead of the types of super reach, the types of characters on the team side and characters on the enemy side may differ according to the degree of expectation for a big hit. Further, for example, if the production stage is configured to transition according to the game period or game state such as the number of fluctuations, the character associated with the production stage in advance may be one of the enemy characters (the production stage may be any one of a plurality of enemy characters associated with , or may be an enemy character determined by lottery).

In this example, the chance-up stock effect is executed at one timing, and one or more chance-up keys are always stocked. There may be a timing when it is executed and the chance-up key is not stocked. However, if no chance-up keys are stocked at the end of the stock effect, there is a possibility that the interest will be significantly reduced, so it is desirable that at least one or more chance-up keys are finally stocked.

If there are a plurality of timings at which the chance-up stock effect is executed and there is a timing at which the chance-up key is not stocked, for example, at the timing at which the chance-up key is not stocked, the push button 31B is pressed during the operation valid period. is detected (or when the valid period of operation elapses), an image with a close-up of the character A's face, a character display of "!?" and the image indicating that the key is stocked may not be displayed.

In this way, by executing an effect such as displaying a character image instead of the key when the key is not stocked, it is possible to alleviate the regret that the key was not stocked. In addition, in the chance-up stock effect of this example, even if only one key is stocked, the effect execution time is the same as when three keys are stocked. Therefore, if the key is not stocked even if the button is pressed for a period of time, the presentation becomes redundant, and there is a risk that the interest will decrease. Therefore, when the key is not stocked in this way, the character image is displayed instead to liven up the performance, so that the chance-up stock performance can be prevented from being lowered even if the number of stocks is small. Note that the character image displayed when not stocked is not limited to one type, and may be varied according to the type of super reach to be executed, non-key chance-up effect, battle effect, and the like. By doing so, it is possible to anticipate the future development from the displayed character image, and to give the character image a dramatic meaning.

In addition, if there are multiple timings for executing the chance-up stock effect and there is a timing at which the chance-up key is not stocked, the effect display when the item is stocked and the effect display when the item is not stocked are different. It is desirable that the display period of the latter is set shorter than that of the former. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoyed or losing interest by displaying an unfavorable effect for a long time without the effect of increasing the number of stocks. .

(Outpost production and battle production in Super Reach)
Next, outlines of the outpost production, the battle production, and the winning blessing production in the super reach will be described. FIGS. 8-14 and 8-15 are explanatory diagrams showing outlines of the outpost effect, the battle effect, and the winning blessing effect in Super Reach. 8-14 and 8-15 show a specific example in which a chance-up effect (subtitles) and a chance-up effect (symbols) are executed in super reach A, resulting in a big hit. In addition, in FIGS. 8-14 and 8-15, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

When the stock effect ends and the outpost effect of Super Reach starts, the title display of Super Reach A written as "Death Fight between Two People" is displayed as shown in Fig. 8-14 (1). .

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-14(1), in the lower right of the display area of the image display device 5, a mini-character A image 001IWC10 and the number of mini-key images 001IWG10 stocked in the chance-up stock effect are displayed. be done. In this example, it is assumed that two keys are stocked in advance in the chance-up stock effect, and the two keys (in the example of the same figure, the key with the enclosing character display "design" and the enclosing character display " A key with "subtitles" attached thereto) is displayed in such a manner as to move around the mini-character A. In this example, the keys stocked in the chance-up presentation are displayed as the mini key image 001IWG10 or the key image 001IWG12 in Super Reach, and are erased when used in the corresponding chance-up presentation.

In addition, in the left decorative design display area 5L and the right decorative design display area 5R of the image display device 5, the decorative design showing "6" is displayed, and the active display AH is displayed on the lower left side of the display area of the image display device 5 as the active display. , and a small symbol KZ corresponding to the special symbol and a reserved memory number HS indicating the number of reserved memories are displayed on the central right side of the display area of the image display device 5 .

8-14(2), the character A image 001IWC01 and the enemy character A image 001IWC02 face each other as shown in FIG. 8-14(2). When the chance-up effect (caption) using the chance-up key is executed, the caption display 001IWG20 changes from normal color (white) to blue as shown in FIG. 8-14(3). With such an effect display, the effect mode of the dialogue effect (subtitle display) changes as a result of the chance-up effect.

Next, when the chance-up effect (subtitles) ends and the dialogue effect progresses, the subtitle display 001IWG20 of "I'll get back to you" is displayed as shown in FIG. 8-14(4).
At this time, one of the stocks has been released and the item (key) has been consumed by the chance-up effect for subtitle display, so the number of mini-key images 001IWG10 moving around the mini-character A image 001IWC10 is one. is getting smaller.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-14(5), the character A image 001IWC01 is displayed alone, and the caption display 001IWG20 of "I won't hold back" is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-14 (4) to (5), when the outpost effect is being executed and the chance-up effect is not being executed, the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 are displayed on the image display device 5. An effect display is performed in which the ends of the display area are moved. At this time, an effect display is performed in which the mini key image 001IWG10 moves around the mini character A image 001IWC10.

Next, when the chance-up effect (symbol) using the "symbol" chance-up key is executed, the decoration pattern changes from normal color (white) to red as shown in FIG. 8-14 (6). With such an effect display, the effect mode of the decoration pattern changes as a result of the chance-up effect (symbol).

Next, when the preliminary performance ends, as shown in FIG. 8-14(7), a battle effect is started in which the character A image 001IWC01 and the enemy character A image 001IWC02 cross swords. Then, when the character A wins against the enemy character A, the characters "Victory" are displayed as shown in FIG. 8-14(8).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (9), an epilogue image is displayed as a blessing effect at the time of winning, and after that, as shown in FIG. is displayed.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (A), before the outpost production and battle production in the super reach are started, the front reach production is executed, and the front reach production shown in FIG. 8-11 (1). , and during the execution of the outpost effects and battle effects shown in FIGS. Further, the chance-up effect is not executed when the pre-stage ready-to-win effect is being executed, and the chance-up effect is executed when the outpost effect and the battle effect are being executed. With such a configuration, the ready-to-win performance can be enhanced step by step, and the performance effect can be enhanced.

In this example, it is possible to execute a chance-up effect (symbol) that changes the mode of the decorative pattern. If the game is controlled to some special state (for example, controlled to a high-advantage jackpot game state, controlled to a high-advantage game state after a jackpot game, etc.), there is a risk of misleading the player. Therefore, in this example, after executing the chance-up effect (symbol) during the super reach and changing the mode of the decorative pattern from the normal color (white) to another color, when displaying the variable display result, as shown in FIG. As shown in -15 (10), the decoration pattern to be enlarged and displayed is configured to be displayed in the form (normal color (white)) before changing by the chance-up effect (design). Such a configuration can prevent misunderstandings.

Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (8), after the character display of "Victory" is displayed to announce that the jackpot will be won, an epilogue video is shown as shown in FIG. 8-15 (9). is displayed, and after that, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (10), a combination of decorative patterns that will become a big hit is displayed in an enlarged manner. ing. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the epilogue image, and to return the decoration pattern to its original state without making the player feel unnatural.

(Key chance up performance (subtitles))
Next, the chance-up effect outlined in FIGS. 8-14 to 8-15 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8-16 to 8-20. FIGS. 8-16 to 8-20 also show portions of the chance-up effect that are omitted from FIG. 8-14.

FIGS. 8-16 and 8-17 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the key chance-up effect for caption display. In addition, in FIGS. 8-16 and 8-17, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

When the outpost effect in which the character A image 001IWC01 and the enemy character A image 001IWC02 face each other is executed, and the dialogue effect is started, as shown in FIG. be done. Also, as shown in FIG. 8-16(1), an effect display is performed in which the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 move at the end of the display area of the image display device 5. FIG. At this time, an effect display is performed in which the mini key image 001IWG10 moves around the mini character A image 001IWC10.

Effect images related to outpost effects (for example, character A image 001IWC01, enemy character A image 001IWC02, etc.) are also displayed in FIGS. In this example, the effect image related to the outpost effect is a effect image related to the chance-up effect (for example, a key image, a keyhole image, a mini character image, etc.), and a effect image related to the effect to be the target of the chance-up effect (for example, Display priority is lower than title display, subtitle display, decoration pattern, cut-in display), and is displayed in a lower layer than those images. Although the details will be described later, the effect image related to the outpost effect is hidden by the effect image related to the chance-up effect at the timings of (13) to (14) in FIG. 8-17.

Next, when the chance-up prompting effect for inciting the execution of the key-chance-up effect is executed, as shown in FIG. Displayed in the center of the display area. At this time, the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 stop moving to the end of the display area of the image display device 5, and the mini-key image 001IWG10 stops moving around the mini-character A image 001IWC10. . Next to the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10, a "!" indicating the existence of the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 is displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16(3), an effect display is started in which the keyhole (indication) image 001IWG13 is gradually reduced. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-16(4), the gradually shrinking keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 approaches the subtitle display 001IWG20 that is the target of the chance-up effect, and eventually, as shown in FIG. 8-16(5). Then, an effect display is performed in which the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 overlaps the subtitle display 001IWG20. At this time, a triangular mark is displayed around the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 to indicate that it has been reduced.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 (2) to (5), the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 move so as to follow the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 approaching the subtitle display 001IWG20. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the chance-up effect and the target effect of the chance-up effect.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16(6), the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 becomes a silhouette on the subtitle display 001IWG20, and an effect display is performed in which a glowing effect image is displayed. At this time, the mini-key image 001IWG10 and mini-character A-image 001IWC10 are put in a silhouette state, and an effect display is also performed in which an effect image that shines around is displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16(7), a keyhole (real) image 001IWG11 imitating a keyhole is displayed on the subtitle display 001IWG20. Such an effect display makes it clear that the target of the chance-up effect is the subtitle display 001IWG20.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-16(8), an effect display is performed in which the character A located on the front side of the screen throws the key into the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 located on the back side of the screen. . Then, as shown in FIG. 8-17(9), an effect display is performed in which the key image 001IWG12 appears to move from the front side of the screen toward the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 on the back side. Therefore, the key image 001IWG12 is initially displayed in a larger display size than the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 as shown in FIG. 8-17(9), and then reduced as shown in FIG. It is displayed so as to move toward the keyhole (substantial) image 001IWG11 while (gradually becoming smaller as an expression of going away). With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the key image 001IWG12 acting on the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11, thereby enhancing the effect of the chance-up presentation.

8-17(11), a key image 001IWG12 and a keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 are displayed as an effect display that the key is stuck in the keyhole, and an effect that the key turns in the keyhole (that is, the key is unlocked). As a display, a key image 001IWG12 rotated from a keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed as shown in FIG. 8-17(12).

When the effect display of turning the key through the keyhole (that is, unlocking the key) is performed, as shown in FIG. A character display is displayed. In this example, as shown in FIG. 8-17 (13), the character A is displayed close up together with the effect image covering the effect image related to the outpost effect, whereby the chance-up effect is executed during the outpost effect. It reduces the sense of discomfort.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8-17 (14), the character A and the character display of "Subtitle Rank Up" are erased while the effect image covering the image related to the outpost production is displayed, and the subtitle display 001IWG20 is in a silhouette state. , and an effect display is performed in which an effect image that shines around is displayed. At this time, the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 are displayed again, and an effect display is also performed in which an effect image that shines around is displayed.

In this example, when the chance-up effect for caption display is executed, as shown in FIG. 001IWC10>effect image covering the image related to the outpost effect>caption display 001IWG20>image related to the outpost effect are displayed in the upper layers in this order.

After that, as shown in FIG. 8-17 (15), the effect image covering the image related to the outpost effect is erased, and the caption display 001IWG20 that is changed from normal color (white) to blue is displayed.
In addition, since one of the stocks was released and the item (key) was consumed by the chance-up effect for subtitle display, as shown in FIG. , the number of mini-key images 001IWG10 moved to is one less. That is, the mini-key image with the enclosing character display "subtitle" is erased, and only the mini-key image with the enclosing character display "design" is displayed.

In this example, the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed when the effect targeted for the chance-up effect is being executed, and the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is acted on by the key image 001IWG12. to run. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 and 8-17, a keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 corresponding to the subtitle display 001IWG20 is displayed, and a key image 001IWG12 is inserted into the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11. Executes the chance-up production. With such a configuration, when the chance-up effect using the key image 001IWG12 is executed, the key image 001IWG12 is inserted into the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 and turns around (that is, the key is opened). It is possible to enhance the performance effect and improve the amusement.

Further, in this example, the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed at a substantially central position of the effect image related to the effect that is the target of the chance-up effect (see, for example, FIG. 8-16 (7)). At the timing when 001IWG11 is displayed, the chance-up effect for other effects is not executed. For example, at the timing when the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 corresponding to the subtitle display 001IWG20 is displayed, the chance-up effect for the decoration pattern is not executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to understand the suggestive effect that is the target of the chance-up effect, and to make the player pay attention to when the keyhole (substantial) image 001IWG11 is displayed.

Also, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 (1) to (8), the key image and the character image (that is, the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10) that are stocked in the stock effect are moved and displayed, When the chance-up effect is executed, an effect display is performed in which the character throws the key into the keyhole. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the key image and enhance the effect of the chance-up presentation.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 (1) to (6), the mini key image 001IWG10 moves around the mini character A image 001IWC10, and when the chance-up effect is executed, , to stop its operation. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the key image and enhance the effect of the chance-up presentation.

Also, in this example, the appearance of the key is different between when the key is stocked and when the key is used. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-12 (8), when the key image is displayed at the bottom right of the display area in the stock effect, and as shown in FIG. The display size of the key image is smaller in the latter case than when the key image is displayed so as to move. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the key image easily visible in the stock effect in which the key is the main focus, and to prevent the key from standing out too much in the outpost effect. For example, when the key is stocked in the stock effect, and when the character throws the key toward the keyhole in the chance up effect (the most enlarged state at the beginning), the display size of the key image is larger in the latter. You may make it With such a configuration, it is possible to have a greater impact when releasing the stock than when the key is stocked. Further, by giving an impact, even if the performance targeted for the chance-up performance has a low degree of expectation, it is possible to impress the player that it is a desirable performance.

(Key chance up production (design))
Next, a specific example of the key chance up effect for decorative symbols will be described. FIGS. 8-18 to 8-20 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the key chance-up effect for decorative patterns. In addition, in FIGS. 8-18 to 8-20, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

As shown in FIG. 8-18(1), an outpost effect is executed in which the character A image 001IWC01 and the enemy character A image 001IWC02 face each other. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-18(1), a mini-key image 001IWG10 with an enclosing character display "symbol" and a mini-character A image 001IWC10 move at the end of the display area of the image display device 5. is done. At this time, the mini-key image 001IWG10 moves around the mini-character A image 001IWC10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-18(1), the movable body 32 is positioned at the initial position covering part of the upper portion of the display area of the image display device 5 .

Effect images related to outpost effects (for example, character A image 001IWC01, enemy character A image 001IWC02, etc.) are also displayed in FIGS. In this example, the effect image related to the outpost effect is a effect image related to the chance-up effect (for example, a key image, a keyhole image, a mini character image, etc.), and a effect image related to the effect to be the target of the chance-up effect (for example, Display priority is lower than title display, caption display, decorative pattern, cut-in display), and is displayed in a lower layer than those images.

Next, when the chance-up fan effect is executed, a keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 suggesting that a keyhole will appear is displayed in the center of the display area, as shown in FIG. 8-18(2). At this time, the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 stop moving to the end of the display area of the image display device 5, and the mini-key image 001IWG10 stops moving around the mini-character A image 001IWC10. .
Next to the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10, a "!" indicating the presence of the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 is displayed. Note that the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 displayed in the chance-up effect is represented by dotted lines in this example as shown in FIGS. It has a transparency that makes it possible to visually recognize the effect image), and the content of the super reach (that is, the outpost effect) is not hindered as much as possible even while the chance-up fan effect is being executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-18(3), an effect display is started in which the keyhole (indication) image 001IWG13 is gradually reduced. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-18(4), the gradually shrinking keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 approaches the decorative pattern display area to be the target of the chance-up effect, and eventually, as shown in FIG. 8-18(5). Thus, the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 reaches near the center position between the left decorative design display area 5L and the right decorative design display area 5R (the position corresponding to the middle decorative design display area 5C). At this time, a triangular mark is displayed around the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 to indicate that it has been reduced. Also, the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 are rendered to move so as to follow the moving keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-18(6), the keyhole (indication) image 001IWG13 becomes a silhouette state, and an effect display is performed in which an effect image that shines around is displayed. At this time, the mini-key image 001IWG10 and mini-character A-image 001IWC10 are in a silhouette state, and an effect display is also performed in which an effect image that shines around is displayed. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-18(5) to 8-18(6), when changing the pose of mini-character A, the silhouette image is displayed once, and then the silhouette image is displayed. , the mini-character A image in the pose after the change from . In this way, instead of using material data that changes the pose of a mini-character by moving it, the material data is simplified and the man-hours and costs required for production are reduced by switching images with a silhouette image in between. be able to.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-18(7), a keyhole (substantial) image is placed near the center position between the left decorative design display area 5L and the right decorative design display area 5R (the position corresponding to the middle decorative design display area 5C). 001IWG11 is displayed. Such an effect display makes it clear that the target of the chance-up effect is the decoration pattern.

In this example, when executing the chance-up effect for subtitle display, as shown in FIG. When executing the chance-up effect for the pattern, as shown in FIG. A keyhole (substantial) image 001IWG11 is displayed at a position shifted toward the center of the display area from the corresponding position). With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 from being covered by the movable body 32 and making it difficult to visually recognize, and the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is preferably displayed according to the characteristics of the target presentation. can do.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-18(8), an effect display is performed in which the character A positioned on the front side of the screen throws the key into the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 positioned on the back side of the screen. . Then, as shown in FIG. 8-19(9), an effect display is performed in which the key image 001IWG12 appears to move from the front side of the screen toward the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 on the back side. Therefore, the key image 001IWG12 is initially displayed in a larger display size than the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 as shown in FIG. 8-19(9), and then as shown in FIG. It is displayed so as to move toward the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 while shrinking (gradually becoming smaller as an expression of moving away).

8-19(11), a key image 30IWG12 and a keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 are displayed as an effect display that the key is stuck in the keyhole, and an effect that the key turns in the keyhole (that is, the key is unlocked). As a display, a key image 001IWG12 rotated from a keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed as shown in FIG. 8-19(12).

When the effect display of turning the key through the keyhole (that is, unlocking the key) is performed, the character A and the character display of "symbol rank up" are displayed as shown in FIG. 8-19 (13). Then, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (14), while the character A and the character display of "symbol rank up" are being displayed, the left decoration design is shaken violently in the left decoration design display area 5L, and the right decoration design is displayed. An effect display is performed in which the right ornamental pattern violently swings in the pattern display area 5R. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (13) to (14), character A is displayed close-up to hide the effect image related to the outpost effect, and the chance-up effect is executed during the outpost effect. It reduces the discomfort of being

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (15), an image of characters A and B standing side by side is displayed in the vicinity of the center of the display area of the image display device 5, and the character rocks violently to a position superimposed on the image. An effect display is performed in which the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern move. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (16), the violently swinging left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern are enlarged and displayed together with a glowing effect image. In this way, when the chance-up effect (design) is executed, the decorative design is displayed in a more recognizable mode than the normal mode. Therefore, it is possible to draw attention to the decoration pattern that is the target of the chance-up effect (design).

In this example, when the ready-to-win effect or the stock effect is started after the ready-to-win effect is established, the decoration pattern gently swings in the upper left and upper left parts of the image display area as shown in FIGS. 8-11 to 8-15. Although it is displayed in a moving manner, when the chance-up effect (design) is executed and displayed in an enlarged manner, the decorative design is displayed in a violently swinging manner. With such a configuration, the effect of the chance-up effect (symbol) can be enhanced.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (17), when the glowing effect image around the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern is erased, the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern changed from the normal color (white) to red. A pattern is displayed, and the effect display is performed in which the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern gently swing as usual.

After that, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (18), an effect display is performed in which the red right and left decorative patterns move to the left and right decorative design display areas 5L and 5R, respectively. The remaining outpost renditions are executed. Since all the stocked keys have been used due to the execution of the chance-up effect (symbol) targeting the decoration pattern, the mini-character A image 001IWC10 and the mini-key image 001IWG10 are not displayed after that, but it is confirmed that they will not be displayed. No special effects as shown are performed. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the mini-key image 001IWG10, which is no longer used, from standing out.

In this example, when the decoration pattern is enlarged and displayed by the chance-up effect (symbol), a notification image is displayed to make the background image related to the ready-to-win effect being executed difficult to see. Display priority is higher than images. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (13) to (14), as notification images related to the chance-up effect, an effect image, a character, and a text display such as "symbol rank up" are related to the outpost effect. It is displayed in such a manner as to cover the effect image, and an image in which character A and character B stand side by side is displayed as shown in FIGS. 8-19(15) to 8-20(17). However, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (13) to (16), when the decorative pattern is enlarged and displayed by the chance-up effect (design), the decorative pattern is displayed in the foreground and is covered by other images such as characters. not hidden. With such a configuration, it is possible to attract attention to the decoration pattern that is the target of the chance-up effect, and to enhance the effect of the effect.

Also, in this example, the decorative symbols are displayed in a closer positional relationship than the positional relationship in the normal ready-to-reach state before the enlarged display, when enlarged and displayed by the chance-up effect (symbol). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (16), the left and right decorative patterns are displayed in a closer positional relationship than the normal position. With such a configuration, it is possible to attract attention to the decoration pattern that is the target of the chance-up effect, and to enhance the effect of the effect.

In this example, since the chance-up key corresponding to the type of chance-up effect is stocked in the stock effect, it is possible to know in advance what kind of key chance-up effect will be executed by checking the stocked chance-up key. However, it is not limited to such a configuration, and for example, a chance-up key (hereinafter also referred to as a non-specific chance-up key) that does not specify which type of chance-up effect corresponds is provided. good too.
According to such a configuration, when the non-specific chance-up key is stocked, it is possible to make the player expect what kind of key chance-up presentation will be executed.

Further, when a non-specific chance-up key is provided, the chance-up effect may or may not be executed after the effect as the chance-up effect. Hereinafter, when distinguishing between the two, the former is also referred to as a chance-up fanning effect (true), and the latter is also referred to as a chance-up fanning effect (false). With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the chance-up fanning performance (true) and the chance-up fanning performance (false) when the chance-up fanning performance is started.

For example, in the chance-up promotion (false), after an image suggesting a keyhole corresponding to a stocked item (key) (for example, keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13) is displayed, an image showing a keyhole (for example, keyhole The (substantial) image 001IWG11) is not displayed, and the image suggesting the keyhole (for example, the keyhole (indicating) image 001IWG13) is deleted. On the other hand, in the chance-up fanning effect (true), after an image suggesting a keyhole corresponding to the stocked item (key) (for example, keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13) is displayed, an image showing the keyhole (for example, keyhole (Substantial) image 001IWG11) is displayed. Through such presentation display, it becomes clear that the chance-up fanning presentation being executed is the chance-up fanning presentation (true), and the target of the chance-up presentation using the non-specific chance-up key is found.

In this example, regardless of the position where the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed (that is, regardless of which production is the target of the chance-up production), at least part of the chance-up promotion production is performed. It is carried out in a common fashion. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 (2) to (5) and FIGS. 8-18 (2) to (5), the keyhole (suggestion ) The image 001IWG13 is displayed in a common mode in which it is initially displayed in full screen and then reduced in size. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to whether or not the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed, that is, whether or not the chance-up effect is executed, and which effect is the target of the chance-up effect. can draw attention to.

In this example, in the chance-up effect, regardless of the position where the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is displayed (that is, regardless of the type of target effect), the image is displayed at a common display position to be the target effect. It informs that the production mode of will change. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (13) and 8-19 (13), the character and the character display of "subtitle rank up" and "symbol rank up" are displayed, and the production mode is Notify you of changes.
With such a configuration, it is possible to easily recognize that the effect mode of the target effect is changed by the chance-up effect.

Further, in this example, the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 is not displayed at the timing when the effect mode of the target effect changes in the chance-up effect. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (13) to (15) and FIGS. It is not displayed at the timing when the mode of changes. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the fact that the effect mode of the target effect changes due to the chance-up effect.

Further, in this example, the effect image related to at least a part of the multiple types of effects targeted for the chance-up effect has a higher display priority than the key image even when the key image acts on the keyhole image. expensive. Specifically, the decorative pattern has a higher display priority than the key image even when the key image acts on the keyhole image. With such a configuration, it is possible to ensure the visibility of some effects in any situation. In addition, for effects images other than some effects (for example, those that are not information related to the progress of the game such as title display and subtitle display), display priority is given to the key image when the key image acts on the keyhole image. By making the intensity lower, it is possible to realize a more realistic presentation and enhance the presentation effect.

Further, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (13) and 8-19 (13), when executing the chance-up effect, an effect image or a character covering the effect image related to the outpost effect, a "subtitle rank It is possible to display notification images such as character display such as "up" or "symbol rank up". Then, a production pattern (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (13) to FIG. In addition, a pattern in which the appearance of the decorative pattern changes while the characters and the character display of "pattern rank up" remain), and when the notification image is displayed, the effect of the target effect is changed. (For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (13) to (15), patterns in which the mode of active display changes after the character display of effect images, characters, and “subtitle rank up” is erased) , the chance-up effect can be executed. With such a configuration, the player can be made to recognize that the presentation mode of the target presentation changes by displaying the notification image, and the chance-up presentation can be suitably performed by the presentation pattern corresponding to the target presentation. can be executed. Especially for the former, by seamlessly increasing the chance while the notification image is being displayed (that is, changing the effect mode of the target effect), it is possible to make the effect more flashy. By performing a chance up (that is, a change in the effect mode of the target effect) after is erased, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of data related to the effect control.

In addition, in this example, when the notification image is displayed, the effect pattern of changing the effect mode of the effect that is the target of the chance-up effect is different from when the notification image is displayed. The degree of expectation for a big hit is higher than the performance pattern that changes the performance mode of the performance. Specifically, the chance-up effect in which the form of the decoration pattern changes has a higher expectation of a big hit than the chance-up effect in which the form of the subtitle display changes (see FIG. 8-5). With such a configuration, the degree of expectation can be varied according to the showiness of the production pattern, and the interest can be improved.

Further, in this example, the notification image uses an image that can specify which effect mode of the effect has changed, and is different from the effect image related to the effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-17 (13) and FIG. 8-19 (13), the character display of "subtitle rank up" or "symbol rank up" is displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to recognize which direction of the effect has changed.

Further, in this example, the notification image displayed during execution of the chance-up effect is displayed in a manner covering the effect image related to the super reach (outpost effect), but the effect targeted for the chance-up effect is There are cases where the image is covered by the notification image and cases where the image is not covered, and the latter has a higher expectation of a big hit than the former. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (13) and 8-19 (13), as the notification image, the effect image covering the effect image related to the outpost effect, the character, "subtitle rank up" and "symbol" are displayed. "Rank Up" is displayed, but this notification image covers the subtitle display 001IWG20, but does not cover the decoration pattern. Then, the chance-up effect in which the form of the decoration pattern changes has a higher expectation of a big hit than the chance-up effect in which the form of the caption display changes (see FIG. 8-5). With such a configuration, the degree of expectation can be varied according to the showiness of the chance-up effect, and the interest can be improved.

Further, in this example, the effects targeted for the chance-up effect include those in which the relevant effect image is covered by the notification image and those in which the relevant effect image is not covered, and the latter is more within one variable display period than the former. The rate of execution at later timing is high. Specifically, the chance-up effect in which the form of the decoration pattern is changed is executed later than the chance-up effect in which the form of caption display is changed (see FIG. 8-2). With such a configuration, it is possible to execute the chance-up effect in accordance with the time when the expectations of the player are high.

Further, in this example, the effects targeted for the chance-up effect include those in which the relevant effect image is covered by the notification image and those in which the effect image is not covered. Switch to an image and display it. Specifically, when the chance-up effect targeting the decoration pattern is executed, after the character A image is displayed as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (13) to (14), the ) to (17) in FIG. 8-20, an image in which character A and character B stand side by side is displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the production effect of the highly anticipated chance-up production.

(Non-key chance-up production (subtitles))
Next, a specific example of the non-key chance-up effect will be described. FIG. 8-21 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the non-key chance-up effect for caption display. In addition, in FIG. 8-21, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

When the outpost effect in which the character A image 001IWC01 and the enemy character A image 001IWC02 face each other is executed, and the dialogue effect is started, as shown in FIG. be done. Also, as shown in FIG. 8-21(1), an effect display is performed in which the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 move at the end of the display area of the image display device 5. FIG. At this time, an effect display is performed in which the mini key image 001IWG10 moves around the mini character A image 001IWC10.

Next, when the non-key chance-up presentation (caption) is started, as shown in FIG. 8-21(2), a glowing effect display is displayed around the caption display 001IWG20. Then, as shown in FIG. 8-21(3), when the glowing effect display is erased, caption display 001IWG20 is displayed in which the normal color (white) is changed to blue.

In this example, when the non-key chance-up effect is executed without going through the stock effect, a notification image such as when the key chance-up effect is executed (for example, an effect shown in FIG. 8-19 (13) Images, characters, character display such as "subtitle rank up" and "pattern rank up" are not displayed, and a predetermined image smaller in size than the notification image (specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (2) , an effect display in which the surroundings of the subtitle display are illuminated) is displayed, and the mode of the target production changes. With such a configuration, even when the non-key chance-up presentation is executed without going through the stock presentation, it is possible to easily recognize that the aspect of the presentation targeted for the non-key chance-up presentation is changed.

Next, the execution interval when the chance-up effect is executed a plurality of times will be described. FIG. 8-22 is an explanatory diagram showing a comparison example between the case where the key chance-up effect is executed a plurality of times and the case where the non-key chance-up effect and the key chance-up effect are executed.

FIG. 8-22(A) shows a case where the key chance-up effect (symbol) is executed after the key chance-up effect (subtitle) is executed, and FIG. 8-22(B) shows: A case is shown in which the key chance-up effect (symbol) is executed after the non-key chance-up effect (subtitle) is executed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-16 to 8-17 and 8-21, in the non-key chance-up effect, it is easier to visually recognize other effects such as the outpost effect being executed at the same time than in the key chance-up effect. In addition to being a mode, the effect execution period is short. In other words, in the key chance-up effect, it is difficult to visually recognize other effects such as the outpost effect being simultaneously executed, and the effect execution period is longer than in the non-key chance-up effect. Therefore, when the key chance-up effect is executed in quick succession, the period during which the player cannot visually recognize the other effects such as the outpost effect becomes longer, and the player is worried about the appearance of the other effects and enjoys the chance-up effect being executed. It may disappear.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8-22(A), when the key chance-up effect is executed a plurality of times, an interval of a specific period T1 is provided, and as shown in FIG. 8-22(B), the non-key chance When executing the key chance up effect after executing the up effect, it is configured to be executable before the specified period T1 elapses (in FIG. 8-22(B), after the elapse of the period T2 shorter than the specified period T1). In addition, it is desirable that the specific period T1 is such that the super-reach video can be viewed for a predetermined number of seconds (for example, 5 seconds) or more. In other words, it is desirable to secure a specific period during which the flow of super reach is not lost. With such a configuration, the key chance-up performance using the key image can be spaced apart to make each stand out, and the key chance-up performance is continuously executed so that other performances such as the outpost performance cannot be visually recognized. You can prevent it from getting too long. In addition, a plurality of chance-up performances can be flexibly executed by making it possible to execute the key chance-up performance relatively early after the non-key chance-up performance, instead of providing a uniform interval. In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 8-22(B), for example, when the key chance-up effect is executed after the non-key chance-up effect is executed, the key chance-up effect is completed simultaneously with the end of the non-key chance-up effect. You may make it perform production|presentation.

Also, in this example, by displaying a notification image when the chance-up effect is executed, it is easy to recognize that the chance-up effect is being executed. Since the amount of data related to the effect increases, the ready-to-win effect is progressed even while the notification image is being displayed. However, in such a configuration, the player worries whether or not another chance-up effect is executed while at least a part of the effect image related to the ready-to-win effect is made invisible by the notification image, and the effect of the effect is lowered. and may lose interest. Therefore, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-3, when one chance-up effect is being executed, another chance-up effect is not executed, and the notification image is erased. It is configured such that a chance-up effect with different target effects is not executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the production effect of the entire production from deteriorating.

(Direction control timing)
Next, the control timing of each effect will be described. FIG. 8-23 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the control timing of the super ready-to-win effect, the target effect of the key chance-up effect, and the key chance-up effect.

As shown in FIG. 8-23, when the effect (for example, speech effect) targeted for the chance-up effect is started, image display control (for example, subtitle display) and audio output control (for example, , dialogue voice output) is started (corresponding to FIG. 8-16 (1), for example).

Next, when the chance-up effect is started, the image display control (for example, the display of the notification image) and the audio output control (for example, the output of the notification sound for the chance-up effect) are started (for example, , corresponding to Fig. 8-17 (13)).

At this time, image display control and audio output control relating to super reach (for example, outpost effect) are continued, but the audio output is performed at a low volume that is lower than the normal volume. Similarly, the image display control and the audio output control related to the effect (for example, dialogue effect) targeted for the chance-up effect are continued, but the audio output is performed at a low volume that is lower than the normal volume. Note that when the key chance-up effect is being executed, as shown in FIG. 8-17 (13), the effect image related to the super reach (for example, the outpost effect) is continuously controlled to be displayed, but the chance-up effect is displayed. It has a lower display priority than the effect image (for example, notification image) related to the effect, and is at least partially covered.

Next, when the notification image related to the chance-up effect is erased and the effect mode of the target effect changes (for example, the display color of the subtitle changes), the voice related to super reach (for example, the outpost effect) and the chance The sound related to the effect (for example, dialogue effect) to be the target of the boost effect is returned to the normal volume and output.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 to 8-17 and 8-23, subtitle display and audio output related to the dialogue production are performed in conjunction with the dialogue production, and the audio output is performed in conjunction with the chance The sound volume is lowered when the up effect (subtitle) is started, and returns to the original sound volume when the subtitle display changes due to the chance up effect (subtitle). With such a configuration, it is possible to preferably draw attention to both the chance-up effect and the effect changed by the chance-up effect. In addition to the configuration of this example, for example, the audio output related to the effect that is the target of the chance-up effect may be muted (or not output) while the notification sound related to the chance-up effect is being output. good. Also, for example, if the volume of the audio output related to the dialogue production is lowered (or muted) during the chance-up production (subtitles), after the subtitle display related to the dialogue production is changed by the chance-up production (subtitles) , the same line voice may be output again. Specifically, at the timing of FIG. 8-16 (1), the dialogue voice "It's a game!" is output, and at the timing of FIG. When is changed, the dialogue voice "it's a game" may be output again. In addition, the dialogue sound after the subtitle display is changed may have a volume and sound quality different from those before the subtitle display is changed.

Further, in this example, while the notification image related to the chance-up effect is being displayed, the output of the sound related to the ready-to-win effect being executed is continued, and the notification sound related to the chance-up effect is output. The notification sound has a louder volume than the sound related to the ready-to-win effect. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (13) to (14) and FIG. 8-23, a character and text such as "subtitle rank up" are displayed together with an effect image as a notification image related to the chance-up effect. While the effect image related to the outpost effect is being displayed in the manner of covering it, the notification sound related to the chance up effect is output with a louder volume than the effect sound related to the outpost effect. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player recognize that the notification image is displayed while continuing the ready-to-win effect. Note that the configuration is not limited to this example, and for example, the audio output related to the ready-to-win effect may be muted (or not output) while the notification sound related to the chance-up effect is being output.

(Modified example of key chance up effect (subtitles))
Next, a modification of the key chance-up effect (caption) will be described. FIGS. 8-24 and 8-25 are explanatory diagrams showing modifications of the key chance-up effect intended for caption display. In addition, in FIGS. 8-24 and 8-25, the effect screen transitions in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

8-16 to 8-17 are mainly described below. In the modified examples shown in FIGS. 8-24 to 8-25, as shown in FIG. As shown in 8-16 (2), before the speech effect is started (before the caption display is displayed), the chance-up effect is started. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-24(3) to 8-25(14), the chance-up effect and the key-chance-up effect (caption) are executed before the caption display is displayed.

In the modifications shown in FIGS. 8-24 and 8-25, the notification image is displayed so that at least a part of the effect image related to the ready-to-win effect being executed becomes invisible, and when the notification image is erased A chance-up performance is executed in a mode of changing the mode of target performance. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-25 (13), as a notification image related to the chance-up effect, an effect image, a character and character display such as "subtitle rank up" cover the effect image related to the outpost effect. 8-25(15), the mode of caption display changes when they are erased (or the caption display is displayed in the mode after the change).

In addition, in the modifications shown in FIGS. 8-24 and 8-25, when executing a chance-up effect that changes the aspect of the effect image related to the target effect, notification is given before the effect image is displayed. Start displaying an image. Then, a chance-up effect with a different target effect is not executed until the notification image is erased. Specifically, before the subtitle image related to the target dialogue effect is displayed, the effect image, the character, and the character display such as "subtitle rank up" are displayed as the notification image related to the chance-up effect. As shown in FIGS. 8-25, 8-26, 8-2 and 8-3, when one chance-up effect is being executed, no other chance-up effect is executed.

In the modifications shown in FIGS. 8-25 and 8-26, the chance-up effect is executed before the effect image (that is, subtitle display) relating to the effect to be the target of the chance-up effect is displayed. (that is, an effect image, a character, and a character display such as "subtitle rank up") is started to be displayed. However, if the display of the notification image is started and then the effect image related to the effect that is the target of the chance-up effect is displayed, the period during which at least part of the effect image related to the ready-to-win effect is not visible becomes longer. There is a risk that the player will worry about whether or not another change performance will be executed, resulting in a decrease in the performance effect and a loss of interest. Therefore, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-3, when one chance-up effect is being executed, another chance-up effect is not executed, and the notification image is erased. It is configured such that a chance-up effect with different target effects is not executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the production effect of the entire production from deteriorating.

(Direction control timing (modified example))
Next, the control timing of each effect when executing the modification of the key chance-up effect (caption) will be described. FIG. 8-26 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the control timing of super reach effect, key chance up effect, and key chance up effect in the modification shown in FIGS. 8-24 and 8-25. be.

As shown in FIG. 8-26, in the modification shown in FIGS. 8-24 to 8-25, when the chance-up effect is started, image display control (for example, display of a notification image) related to the chance-up effect is displayed. Sound output control (for example, output of notification sound related to chance-up effect) is started (for example, corresponding to (13) in FIG. 8-25).

At this time, image display control and audio output control relating to super reach (for example, outpost effect) are continued, but the audio output is performed at a low volume that is lower than the normal volume. Note that when the key chance-up effect is being executed, as shown in FIG. 8-25 (13), the effect image related to the super reach (for example, the outpost effect) is continuously controlled to be displayed, but the chance-up effect is continued. It has a lower display priority than the effect image (for example, notification image) related to the effect, and is at least partially covered.

Next, when the notification image related to the chance-up effect is erased and the effect mode of the target effect changes (for example, when the display color of the subtitle changes or when the changed subtitle is displayed), the chance The sound associated with the effect (for example, speech effect) to be targeted for the up effect is output at normal volume, and the sound associated with super reach (for example, outpost effect) is output after returning to normal volume.

In the modifications shown in FIGS. 8-24 to 8-26, the sound output related to the effect to be the target of the chance-up effect is performed at normal volume when changed by the chance-up effect. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-24 to 8-26, the audio output related to the dialogue effect is muted (or not output) when the chance-up effect (subtitles) is started. ), and when the subtitle display changes due to the chance-up effect (subtitles), the normal volume is set (or the normal volume is output when the subtitle display changed from the normal color is displayed). With such a configuration, it is possible to preferably draw attention to both the chance-up effect and the effect changed by the chance-up effect.

In the configuration of the characterizing portion 001IW, the effects targeted for the chance-up effect are displayed at various positions such as the upper, lower, and lower right portions of the display area of the image display device 5. The mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 are , move through those positions. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the position where the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 are moved and displayed, and whether the effect displayed at that position is the target of the chance-up effect. .

Further, in the configuration of the characteristic part 001IW, after executing one chance-up effect targeting one effect, when executing another chance-up effect targeting another effect, one chance-up effect is executed. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, another chance-up effect is executed (see FIG. 8-3). With such a configuration, it is possible to leave an interval between one chance-up effect and another chance-up effect to make them stand out, and to display a mode in which the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 move. You can secure the period to do it.

In addition, in the configuration of the characteristic portion 001IW, when the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 are moving at the end of the display area of the image display device 5, the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 are displayed as a chance-up effect. The display priority is lower than the effect image (for example, title display, subtitle display, decoration pattern, etc.) related to the effect that can be the target of the above, and is displayed in a lower layer than them. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to an effect that can be the target of the chance-up effect. Note that the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A-image 001IWC10 are not limited to such a configuration, and the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A-image 001IWC10 are among the effects that can be the target of the chance-up effect when moving in the end of the display area of the image display device 5. Displayed on a layer lower than the effect image (for example, decoration pattern) related to some effects, and displayed on a layer higher than the effect image (for example, title display and subtitle display) related to other effects. good too.

In addition, in the configuration of the characteristic portion 001IW, the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 are displayed during execution of Super Reach, and have a higher display priority than the effect image related to Super Reach (for example, the character image related to Outpost effect). However, when the chance-up effect is not executed, it is displayed so as not to hinder at least the central part of the effect image relating to super reach. Specifically, the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A-image 001IWC10 are displayed so as to move at the ends of the display area without moving in the center of the display area of the image display device 5, and the faces of the character images related to the outpost production are displayed. It is not superimposed and displayed on a part or the like. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A-image 001IWC10 from interfering with the super reach (outpost effect).

In addition, in the configuration of the characteristic portion 001IW, the moving speed of the mini-character A image 001IWC10 and the mini-key image 001IWG10 is set to It is low-speed movement, and when it is specified (or when the chance-up fan effect is being executed), it is high-speed movement. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the effect that is the target of the chance-up effect and the chance-up effect.

In addition, in the configuration of the characteristic portion 001IW, the mini key image 001IWG10 and the mini character A image 001IWC10 are in the same initial position after the chance-up effect is executed and after the chance-up boost effect (false) is executed. Is displayed. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easy to understand that the chance-up fanning effect (false) has ended, and it is possible to express the meaning of restarting. Moreover, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of data related to effect control by redisplaying at the initial position.

Further, in the configuration of the characteristic portion 001IW, the keyhole (indication) image 001IWG13 and the keyhole (substantial) image 001IWG11 can be displayed only once corresponding to the same presentation. For example, when a chance-up promotion effect (or chance-up promotion effect (false)) that agitates whether or not a chance-up production effect for dialogue display is executed once, the dialogue display is displayed after that. Even if it is, the chance-up fanning production targeting the dialogue display is not executed again. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to understand the suggestion effect that is the target of the chance-up effect.

The mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A-image 001IWC10 are partly protruded outside the display area (that is, partly not displayed) when moving in the end of the display area of the image display device 5. good too. With such a configuration, the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 can be flexibly moved and displayed in accordance with other effects such as effect images.

Also, for example, when the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A image 001IWC10 are moving in the end of the display area of the image display device 5, an effect not targeted for the chance-up effect may not be executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the effects performed when the mini-key image 001IWG10 and the mini-character A-image 001IWC10 are moving in the end portion of the display area of the image display device 5 .

Further, in the configuration of the characteristic portion 001IW, since the chance-up effect can be executed a plurality of times, the number of times it has been executed may be recognized. For example, when the first chance-up effect is executed, an effect image simulating a blue flame is displayed at the end of the display area of the image display device 5, and when the second chance-up effect is executed, the effect image is displayed. When the effect image changes to green and the third chance-up effect is executed, the effect image may change to red. With such a configuration, it is possible to recognize that the chance-up has been performed even after the chance-up effect is finished and the related effect image is erased.

Further, in the configuration of the characteristic portion 001IW, there are a plurality of types of effects that are targets of the chance-up effect, and the display sizes of the effect images related to the respective effects are different. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-14 (1) and (2), the caption display has a smaller display size than the title display. In this example, the chance-up effect is executed in such a manner that the keyhole (entity) image is displayed at the position where the effect to be the target of the chance-up effect is displayed. Therefore, the display size of the keyhole (substantial) image is configured to be different according to the target effect. With such a configuration, by displaying the keyhole (entity) image 001IWG11 in a display size suitable for the target presentation, it is possible to create a presentation that does not cause discomfort.

On the other hand, when the keyhole image is materialized, the silhouette of the keyhole (suggestion) image 001IWG13 is displayed in a common size regardless of the type of effect targeted for the chance-up effect. After that, a keyhole (substantial) image 001IWG11 is displayed in a display size corresponding to the type of effect targeted for the chance-up effect. With such a configuration, it is possible to standardize the animation until the keyhole is materialized, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of data related to effect control.

As described above, the characterizing portion 001IW discloses the configuration of the gaming machine shown in means 1 to 32 shown below.

(Means 1) A gaming machine capable of being controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) advantageous to a player, and variable display means capable of executing variable display of a plurality of types of decoration identification information (for example, decoration patterns). and a ready-to-win effect executing means capable of executing a ready-to-win effect (for example, super ready-to-win) after the combination of decoration identification information becomes a ready-to-win state; A change effect (for example, the display color of the title display, caption display, decoration pattern, and cut-in display is changed to the normal color (white) Chance-up production that changes from blue, green, red, and gold, and change the battle status display that shows the battle situation in the battle production (for example, from a mode that indicates defeat to a mode that indicates victory) and a change effect execution means capable of executing a chance-up effect (revival), etc.), and the variable display means, when the reach effect is being executed, displays the decoration identification information in the ready-to-win state, It is possible to display at a predetermined display position in a size smaller than before the ready-to-win effect is executed (for example, the decoration pattern before the ready-to-win effect shown in FIGS. 11 to Figure 8-14, when the ready-to-win effects (previous ready-to-win effects, stock effects, outpost effects, battle effects, etc.) are being executed, the decoration pattern is smaller in size and is displayed in the upper left and upper left parts of the image display area. ), the decoration identification information includes first decoration identification information (for example, normal decoration patterns of “1” to “6” and “8” to “9” (normal color: white)), and the first Second decoration identification information different from the decoration identification information (for example, a special decoration pattern of "7" (normal color: gold)) is included, and the change effect changes the display color of the decoration identification information in the reach state. Including a specific change effect that changes (for example, a chance-up effect (symbol) that changes the display color of the decorative pattern from the normal color (white) to blue, green, red, or gold), and a specific change for one decoration identification information When the effect is executed, there is a higher degree of expectation that it will be controlled in an advantageous state than when the specific change effect is not executed for the one decoration identification information (for example, the chance-up effect (symbol) is The ratio of execution determination at the time of the big hit is higher than the big hit, and the big hit expectation is higher when it is executed than when it is not executed (see FIG. 8-5 (C)), the change effect execution means is the first decoration identification A specific change effect is executed in the reach effect when the information is in the reach state, and the specific change effect is not executed in the reach effect when the second decoration identification information is in the reach state (for example, the variation pattern is In the case of super reach A and B, it is possible to decide to execute the chance up effect (symbol), but in the case of super reach C, it is impossible to decide to execute the chance up effect. Steps 001 IWS802 to S812 in FIG. 8-4, see FIG. 8-2), the ready-to-reach effect execution means, as the ready-to-win effect, a predetermined ready-to-reach effect (for example, super reach A, B) and a state more advantageous than the predetermined reach effect A special ready-to-reach effect with a high degree of expectation to be controlled (for example, super reach C) can be executed (see FIG. 8-1 (C)), and the ready-to-reach effect is performed after the second decoration identification information is in the ready-to-win state. When executed, the ratio of executing the special ready-to-win effect is higher than when the ready-to-win effect is executed after the first decoration identification information becomes the ready-to-win state (for example, in the fluctuation pattern of super reach A or B, the normal decoration After entering the ready-to-win state with the symbol, super ready-to-win A or B is executed, and in the fluctuation pattern of super ready-to-win C, after entering into the ready-to-win state with the special decoration symbol, super ready-to-win C is executed. ~ S804, see FIG. 8-2), the second decoration identification information is in the reach state than the first decoration identification information is in the reach state, and the control is in an advantageous state. In the variable display that triggers the display, the ratio of the first decoration identification information to the ready state is higher than the second decoration identification information to the ready state (for example, super reach C is higher than super reach A or B). is highly expected to be a big hit, and in the case of a big hit, the ratio of super reach A or B is higher than super reach C (see FIG. 8-1(C)).
With such a configuration, by providing the first decoration identification information that is the target of the specific change effect and the second decoration identification information that is not the target, it is possible to draw attention to which decoration identification information causes the ready-to-win state. can. In addition, when the ready-to-win state occurs with the second decoration identification information that is not targeted, the ready-to-win performance with a high degree of expectation is executed, so that disappointment of the player can be prevented, and the ready-to-win state is achieved with the first decoration identification information. When the state is reached, the ready-to-win performance with a higher expectation than when the ready-to-win state is reached by the second decoration identification information is not executed, but the specific change performance is targeted, so that the player can have expectations. .

(Means 2) In means 1, the predetermined ready-to-reach effect includes multiple types of predetermined ready-to-reach effects (for example, super ready-to-reach A and super ready-to-reach B), and the timing at which the change effect is executed differs for each of the multiple types of predetermined ready-to-reach effects. (For example, the timing at which each chance-up effect is executed is determined for each type of super reach, see FIG. 8-2).
With such a configuration, it is possible to flexibly execute the change effect according to the type of the predetermined ready-to-win effect.

(Means 3) In means 1 or 2, the decoration identification information is displayed in a manner that is easier to recognize than the normal manner when the specific change effect related to the decoration identification information is executed (for example, FIG. 8-19 As shown in (16), the decoration pattern is enlarged and a glowing effect display is displayed around it), and when the second decoration identification information is in the ready-to-reach state, the first decoration identification information is in the ready-to-reach state. Rather, it is notified that the reach state has occurred in a manner that is easier to recognize (for example, as shown in Fig. 8-10 (3A), the normal As shown in FIG. 8-10 (3B), "7" is more likely to be "7" when the special decorative pattern (gold pattern) of "7" is in the ready state than when the decorative pattern (white pattern) is in the ready state. A glowing effect display is displayed around the special decorative pattern (gold pattern) of , and it is displayed in an easy-to-recognize manner).
With such a configuration, it is possible to attract attention to the decoration identification information that is the target of the specific change effect, and to easily recognize that it is a highly anticipated ready-to-reach state.

(Means 4) In any of means 1 to 3, when the special ready-to-win effect is executed, control is performed in a more advantageous state than when a predetermined ready-to-win effect is executed and a change effect is executed in the predetermined ready-to-win effect. High expectations (for example, super reach C jackpot expectations are pre-stage reach + super reach A, pre-stage reach + super reach B, stock production + super reach A, stock production + super reach A, which can execute chance-up production) It is higher than the jackpot expectation of Reach B. See Fig. 8-1 (C) and Fig. 8-5).
With such a configuration, it is possible to increase expectations when the special ready-to-win effect is executed.

(Means 5) In any one of means 1 to 4, the predetermined reach effect includes a plurality of types of predetermined reach effects, and the change effect is a predetermined change effect (for example, Chance-up effect that changes the display color of the title display (Title), Chance-up effect that changes the display color of the subtitle display (Subtitle), Chance-up effect that changes the display color of the cut-in display (Cut-in), etc.) Including, the order in which the specific change effect and the predetermined change effect are executed is common in any of the plurality of types of predetermined reach effects (for example, in both super reach A and B, chance up effect (title), chance up effect (subtitle), chance-up effect (symbol), and chance-up effect (cut-in) are executed in this order (see FIG. 8-2).
With such a configuration, expectations can be given by facilitating recognition of the change effect to be executed next.

(Means 6) In any one of means 1 to 5, the ready-to-win effect execution means can execute the pre-stage ready-to-win effect after the decoration identification information becomes ready-to-win state and before the predetermined ready-to-win effect is started. Yes (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (A), the pre-stage ready-to-reach effect is executed before the outpost effect and battle effect in the super reach are started), executed after the pre-stage ready-to-reach effect and the pre-stage ready-to-reach effect In the predetermined ready-to-win production, the decoration identification information that is in the ready-to-win state is displayed at the same or similar position (for example, when the pre-stage ready-to-win production shown in FIG. 8-11 (1) is executed, and in FIG. ) to (8) during the execution of the outpost production and the battle production, and the decorative patterns are displayed in the same or similar positions), and the change production is not executed when the pre-stage reach production is being executed (for example, chance up The effect is executed during the outpost effect or battle effect in Super Reach (see FIGS. 8-2 and 8-10).
With such a configuration, the ready-to-win performance can be enhanced step by step, and the performance effect can be enhanced.

(Means 7) In any of means 1 to 6, when a specific change effect is executed for one ready-to-reach decoration identification information, a specific change effect to the one ready-to-reach decoration identification information. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (C), the ratio of execution determination at the time of the big hit is higher than at the time of losing), and the ready-to-win effect is executed. As ready-to-reach effects, the means can execute a predetermined ready-to-reach effect and a special ready-to-reach effect that is controlled in a more advantageous state than the predetermined ready-to-reach effect and has a high degree of expectation and a low execution rate (for example, FIG. 8-1 ( As shown in C), the super reach C has a higher expectation of a big hit than the super reach A and B, and the execution ratio is lower), and the change effect execution means has a small size when the reach effect is being executed. After the decoration identification information displayed in is enlarged and displayed in a different display color at a position different from the predetermined display position, it is possible to execute a specific change effect in a manner in which it is moved to a predetermined display position (for example, As shown in 8-20 (17), after the decorative pattern is enlarged and displayed in a different display color at the screen center position different from the normal position, the decorative pattern is moved to the normal position as shown in Fig. 8-20 (18). A chance-up effect (symbol) is executed in a mode that allows the game to be played), and when a predetermined reach effect is executed, a specific change effect is executed at a higher rate than when a special reach effect is executed ( For example, when super reach A and B are executed, the chance up effect (symbol) is executed at a higher rate than when super reach C is executed.Steps 001IWS802-S806 in FIG. reference).
With such a configuration, when the ready-to-win effect is being executed, the visibility of the ready-to-win effect can be ensured by displaying the ornament identification information in the ready-to-win state in a small size. Furthermore, when the predetermined ready-to-win effect with a lower expectation than the special ready-to-win effect is being executed, by increasing the execution ratio of the change effect, the player can have expectations, and the expectation is high and high. When a special ready-to-win performance with a low execution ratio is executed, the execution ratio of the change performance is lowered so that the contents of the ready-to-win performance can be enjoyed while being concentrated, and the deterioration of the performance effect can be prevented.

(Means 8) In any one of means 1 to 7, when enlarging and displaying the decoration identification information, it is possible to display a special image that makes it difficult to see the background image related to the ready-to-win effect being executed (for example, FIG. 8 -19 As shown in (13) to (14), as a notification image related to the chance-up effect, the character and the character display such as "symbol rank up" together with the effect image cover the effect image related to the outpost effect. Also, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (15) to 8-20 (17), an image of character A and character B standing side by side is displayed), and the decoration identification information to be enlarged and displayed is , has a higher display priority than the special image (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (13) to (16), the decorative pattern is displayed in the foreground and is not covered by other images such as characters).
With such a configuration, it is possible to attract attention to the decoration identification information that is the target of the change rendering, and to enhance the rendering effect.

(Means 9) In any one of means 1 to 8, when the decoration identification information is enlarged and displayed, it is displayed in a closer positional relationship than the positional relationship in the normal reach state before enlarged display ( For example, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (16), the left and right decorative patterns are displayed in a closer positional relationship than the normal position).
With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to the decoration identification information that is the target of the change effect, and to enhance the effect of the effect.

(Means 10) In any one of means 1 to 9, the ready-to-reach effect execution means is capable of executing a plurality of types of predetermined ready-to-reach effects, as the predetermined ready-to-win effect, with different aspects and different expectations of being controlled in an advantageous state. , The degree of expectation controlled to an advantageous state when the change effect is executed is common when any of the plurality of types of predetermined reach effects is executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-5, the chance up The degree of expectation for a big hit when the performance is executed is common regardless of the type of super reach.).
With such a configuration, it is possible to easily recognize the degree of expectation controlled in an advantageous state, and it is possible to prevent the control and configuration of the presentation from becoming too complicated.

(Means 10-2) In any one of means 1 to 9, the degree of expectation to be controlled to an advantageous state when the suggestive effect is executed is common regardless of which of the plurality of types of predetermined ready-to-reach effects is executed. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8-1 (C), the case where the stock effect is executed at super reach A and the case where the stock effect is executed at super reach B are common It is the degree of expectation of a big hit).
With such a configuration, it is possible to easily recognize the degree of expectation controlled to be in an advantageous state, and it is possible to prevent the control and configuration of the presentation from becoming too complicated.

(Means 11) In any one of means 1 to 10, the decoration identification information in the ready-to-win state is always sway-displayed during the ready-to-win effect, and when it is displayed in an enlarged manner, it is displayed at a faster speed than when it is not displayed in an enlarged manner. Swinging display (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-11 to 8-15, the decorative pattern is always swaying during the ready-to-win effect, and as shown in FIGS. 8-19 (15) to (16) , when enlarged, the oscillating display is faster than when not enlarged).
With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the rendering effect of the specific change rendering for the decoration identification information.

(Means 12) In any one of means 1 to 11, after the specific change effect is executed during the ready-to-win effect, when the variable display result is displayed in the ready-to-win effect, the decoration identification information is enlarged and displayed. The decoration identification information to be displayed is displayed in the form before it is changed by the specific change effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-15 (10), the decoration pattern is enlarged and displayed, and is ))).
Depending on the form of the decoration identification information, there is a possibility that the player may be misunderstood as being in a special state, but such a configuration can prevent such a misunderstanding.

(Means 13) In any one of means 1 to 12, when the predetermined moving image is displayed after being informed that the ready-to-win effect is controlled to be in an advantageous state, and the decoration identification information is displayed when the predetermined moving image is displayed. (For example, when the epilogue image shown in FIG. 8-15 (9) is displayed, the decoration pattern is not displayed).
With such a configuration, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the predetermined moving image, and to restore the form of the decoration identification information without making the player feel unnatural.

(Means 14) In any one of means 1 to 13, the notification image is displayed so that at least a part of the effect image related to the ready-to-win effect being executed becomes invisible, and when the notification image is erased, the target (For example, as shown in FIG. 8-25 (13), as a notification image related to the chance-up effect, the character and "subtitle rank up" are displayed together with the effect image. are displayed in such a manner as to cover the effect image related to the outpost effect, and as shown in FIG. In the case of executing a change effect that changes the aspect of the effect image related to the effect, the display of the notification image is started before the effect image is displayed, and the target Do not execute a change effect with a different effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-25, 8-26, 8-2, and 8-3, when one chance-up effect is being executed, another The chance-up effect is not executed).
By displaying the notification image, it is possible to easily recognize that the change effect will be executed, but if the progress of the ready-to-win effect is stopped during this time, the amount of data related to the ready-to-win effect will increase, so the notification image is not displayed. It is configured to progress the reach production even while is displayed. In such a configuration, the player worries whether or not another change effect is executed while at least a part of the effect image related to the ready-to-win effect is made invisible by the notification image, which reduces the effect of the effect and makes the player more interested. may decrease. Therefore, until the notification image is erased, a change effect with a different target effect is not executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the performance effect from deteriorating.

(Means 15) In any one of means 1 to 14, the change effect executing means executes one change effect when executing the change effect using the suggestive image suggesting that the change effect is executed a plurality of times. , when another changing effect can be executed after a specific period has passed since the one changing effect is completed, and the changing effect using the suggestive image is executed after the changing effect using the suggestive image is executed, the above A later change effect can be executed before a specific period of time has elapsed after the change effect ends (for example, as shown in FIG. is provided with an interval of a specific period T1, and as shown in FIG. When executed, it can be executed before the specific period T1 elapses (for example, after a period T2 shorter than the specific period T1 elapses, or at the same time as the non-key chance-up effect ends).
With such a configuration, it is possible to set intervals between the changing effects using the suggestive images to make them stand out, and to extend the period in which the other effects cannot be visually recognized due to the continuous execution of the changing effects using the suggestive images. can be prevented. In addition, instead of setting a uniform interval of a specific period, it is possible to execute a change effect using a suggestive image relatively early after executing a change effect that does not use a suggestive image, so that multiple changing effects can be flexibly performed. can run to

(Means 16) In any one of means 1 to 15, while the notification image related to the change effect is being displayed, the output of the voice related to the ready-to-win effect being executed is continued, and the notification related to the change effect is made. A sound is output, and the notification sound related to the change effect is louder than the sound related to the reach effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 (13) to (14), FIG. While the character and text such as "subtitle rank up" are displayed together with the effect image as the notification image related to the effect in a manner covering the effect image related to the outpost effect, the notification sound related to the chance up effect is displayed in the outpost effect. output at a louder volume than the production sound related to).
With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player recognize that the notification image is displayed while continuing the ready-to-win effect.

(Means 17) In any one of means 1 to 16, a suggestive effect execution means capable of executing a suggestive effect (for example, a stock effect) suggesting that a change effect is to be executed is provided, and the change is made without the suggestive effect. When the effect is executed, a predetermined image having a size smaller than the notification image is displayed, and the mode of the effect targeted for the change effect changes (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (2), subtitle display is displayed, and a non-key chance-up effect is executed).
With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to recognize that the aspect of the target effect changes due to the change effect even when the change effect is executed without the suggestive effect.

(Means 18) In any one of means 1 to 17, the effect targeted for the change effect includes a predetermined effect in which the image display and the sound output are linked, and the change effect is started for the sound output in the predetermined effect. When the volume decreases, the volume returns to the original volume when it changes due to the change effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 to 8-17 and 8-23, in the dialogue effect, the subtitle Display and audio output are performed in conjunction, and the volume of the audio output decreases when the chance-up effect (subtitles) starts, and returns to normal when the subtitle display changes due to the chance-up effects (subtitles). volume.).
With such a configuration, it is possible to favorably draw attention to both the change effect and the predetermined effect changed by the change effect.

(Means 18-2) In any one of means 1 to 17, the effects targeted for the change effects include a predetermined effect in which image display and sound output are linked, and the sound output in the predetermined effect changes according to the change effect. (For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-24 to 8-26, in dialogue production, subtitle display and audio output related to dialogue production are performed in conjunction, and the audio output is , When the chance-up effect (subtitles) is started, it is in a muted state, and when the subtitle display changes due to the chance-up effect (subtitles), the volume is normal).
With such a configuration, it is possible to favorably draw attention to both the change effect and the predetermined effect changed by the change effect.

(Means 19) In any one of means 1 to 18, the change effect can be executed a specific number of times during one ready-to-win effect, and the suggestion effect suggests execution of the change effect less than the specific number of times (for example, chance The up effect can be executed up to 5 times, and the stock effect suggests execution of the chance up effect up to 2 times).
With such a configuration, it is possible to make the players expect that a changing effect other than the changing effect suggested by the suggestive effect is executed.

(Means 20) In any one of means 1 to 19, the suggestive effect execution means includes a suggestive image suggesting the effect that is the target of the change effect (for example, a mini key image 030IWG10 or a key image corresponding to the type of chance-up effect). 030IWG12) can be executed, and the change effect execution means can execute a change effect targeting effects not suggested by the suggestive effect (for example, the chance-up effect decided to be executed (see step 001 IWS 811), a predetermined change effect (for example, chance-up effect (title), chance-up effect (subtitle), chance-up effect (cut-in)), and the predetermined It is possible to execute a plurality of types of change effects, including a special change effect (for example, a chance-up effect (resurrection)) that is controlled in a more advantageous state than the change effect and has a high degree of expectation and a low execution rate (Fig. 8-6 See), when the suggestive effect and the special change effect are executed, the ratio of suggesting that the special change effect is executed is higher than the ratio that does not suggest that the special change effect is executed by the suggestive effect ( For example, as shown in FIG. 8-7(E), when the chance-up effect (resurrection) is determined to be executed, the stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect (resurrection) is executed at a high rate).
With such a configuration, it is possible to suitably execute the suggestive effect and the changing effect, and mutually enhance the effect of the effect. Specifically, if it is possible to suggest a production that is the target of a change production by suggesting production, it is possible to improve interest, but on the other hand, depending on the suggested production, it may be suggested that the degree of expectation is too high. be. Therefore, by making it possible to execute a change effect not suggested by the suggestive effect, the player can maintain his sense of expectation. However, when a change performance with a high degree of expectation is executed, if the suggestion performance suggesting the change performance is not executed, or if the suggestion performance suggesting a change performance different from the change performance is executed, The existence value of the suggestive production itself may decrease. Therefore, when the special change performance with a high degree of expectation is executed, the ratio of execution of the suggestion performance suggesting that the special change performance is executed is increased. With such a configuration, it is possible to suitably execute the suggestive effect and the changing effect, and mutually enhance the effect of the effect.

(Means 20-2) In any one of means 1 to 19, the suggestive effect executing means includes a suggestive image suggesting the effect to be changed (for example, a mini key image 030IWG10 corresponding to the type of chance-up effect, or A suggestive effect can be executed in a manner in which the key image 030IWG12) is displayed, and the change effect execution means can execute a change effect targeting effects not suggested by the suggestive effect (for example, a chance In some cases, the execution of the stock effect corresponding to the up effect is not determined (see step 001 IWS 811), the first predetermined change effect (for example, chance up effect (title), chance up effect (subtitle)), and the first predetermined change effect It is possible to execute a plurality of types of change effects including a second predetermined change effect (for example, a chance-up effect (cut-in)) with a high expectation and a low execution rate that is controlled in a more advantageous state (Fig. 8- 6), when the suggestive effect, the first predetermined change effect and the second predetermined change effect are executed, the second predetermined change effect is higher than the ratio suggesting that the first predetermined change effect is executed by the suggestive effect. The rate of suggesting that it will be executed is higher (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, when the chance-up production (title), chance-up production (subtitle), and chance-up production (cut-in) are decided to be executed) , the stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect (resurrection) is executed at a high rate).
With such a configuration, it is possible to suitably execute the suggestive effect and the changing effect, and mutually enhance the effect of the effect. Specifically, if it is possible to suggest a production that is the target of a change production by suggesting production, it is possible to improve interest, but on the other hand, depending on the suggested production, it may be suggested that the degree of expectation is too high. be. Therefore, by making it possible to execute a change effect not suggested by the suggestive effect, the player can maintain his sense of expectation. However, when a change performance with a high degree of expectation is executed, if the suggestion performance suggesting the change performance is not executed, or if the suggestion performance suggesting a change performance different from the change performance is executed, The existence value of the suggestive production itself may decrease. Therefore, when the second predetermined change performance with a high degree of expectation is executed, the ratio of execution of the suggestion performance suggesting the execution of the second predetermined change performance is increased. With such a configuration, it is possible to suitably execute the suggestive effect and the changing effect, and mutually enhance the effect of the effect.

(Means 21) In any of means 1 to 20, game control means (for example, main board 11) capable of proceeding with a game, and effect control means (for example, , production control board 12), and the suggestive production is executed in a predetermined period from when the ready-to-win state is reached to the start of the ready-to-win production (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (C), The stock effect is executed in the period before the outpost effect of the super reach effect is started.) When the suggestive effect is executed, the change effect is always executed in the reach effect that is executed after the suggestive effect (for example , the chance-up effect suggested by the stock effect is always executed in the outpost effect or the battle effect), and whether or not to execute the suggestive effect is determined by the game control means Execution of the stock effect is determined by determining the variation pattern including the effect and the super reach).
With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a suggestive effect that requires a certain amount of execution period, and for example, the game control means determines whether to execute the suggestive effect based on the variation pattern. can be ensured.

(Means 22) In any one of means 1 to 21, the suggestion performance is executed so that the expectation controlled to be in an advantageous state becomes the specific expectation % (see FIG. 8-1(C)). is also low (for example, when the chance-up effect (title) is executed, the jackpot expectation is 25%, when the chance-up effect (subtitle) is executed, the jackpot expectation is 29%, and the chance-up effect (symbol) is The jackpot expectation is 33% when executed, and the jackpot expectation is 38% when the chance-up effect (cut-in) is executed (see FIG. 8-5).
With such a configuration, it is possible to draw attention to whether or not the suggestive effect is executed.

(Means 23) In any of means 1 to 22, when the game control means determines to execute a suggestive effect, the change effect to be executed is determined by lottery from a plurality of types of change effects (for example, steps 001IWS807 to S813 part that executes processing), along with executing a suggestive effect, a predetermined change effect (for example, a chance-up effect (title), a chance-up effect (subtitle), a chance-up effect (cut-in)) and a special change effect (e.g., chance up effect (resurrection)), the predetermined change effect is given priority over the special change effect, and suggested by the suggested effect (for example, the execution priority shown in FIG. 8-9 (A) corresponds Also, for example, when the number of stock effects for chance-up decided to be executed is not one or more, instead of the processing of step 001 IWS 813, the chance-up effect (resurrection) is performed rather than the chance-up effect (resurrection). Title), chance-up production (subtitles), chance-up stock production (cut-in) corresponding to chance-up production (cut-in) is prioritized and decided).
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the degree of expectation suggested when the suggestive effect is executed from becoming too high.

(Means 23-2) In any of the means 1 to 22, when the game control means determines to execute the suggested effect, the change effect to be executed is determined by lottery from a plurality of types of change effects (for example, step 001 IWS807 ~ S813 processing), a suggestive effect is executed, and a first predetermined change effect (for example, a chance-up effect (title) or a chance-up effect (subtitle)) is controlled to be in a more advantageous state than the first predetermined change effect. When it is determined to execute both a second predetermined change performance (for example, a chance-up performance (cut-in)) with a high degree of expectation to be performed, the first predetermined change performance is prioritized over the second predetermined change performance, and the suggestive performance is performed. (For example, execution of the corresponding stock effect is determined according to the execution priority shown in FIG. In place of the processing of step 001 IWS813, the chance-up production (title) and the chance-up stock production (subtitle) corresponding to the chance-up production (title) are given priority over the chance-up production (cut-in), and execution is determined.
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the degree of expectation suggested when the suggestive effect is executed from becoming too high.

(Means 24) In any one of means 1 to 23, when a plurality of change effects are suggested by the suggestion effect, a special change effect (for example, a chance-up effect (revival)) is suggested as one change effect. , the first predetermined change effect (for example, chance-up effect (title) or chance-up effect (subtitle)) is likely to be suggested as another change effect (for example, stock effect for chance-up shown in FIG. 8-9 (B) If it falls under the prohibited combination of , a re-lottery will be performed so that it will not be a stock effect combination corresponding to the high-expectation chance-up effect).
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the expectation from being excessively increased by suggesting a plurality of change effects with a high degree of expectation, and appropriately suggest the degree of expectation.

(Means 24-2) In any of means 1 to 23, when a plurality of changing effects are suggested by the suggesting effects, a second predetermined changing effect (for example, a chance-up effect (cut-in)) is used as one changing effect. ) is suggested, a first predetermined change effect (for example, chance-up effect (title) or chance-up effect (subtitle)) is likely to be suggested as another change effect (for example, shown in FIG. 8-9 (B) Re-lottery is performed when it corresponds to the prohibited combination of the chance-up stock production, and the combination of the stock production corresponding to the high-expectation chance-up production is not made).
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the expectation from being excessively increased by suggesting a plurality of change effects with a high degree of expectation, and appropriately suggest the degree of expectation.

(Means 25) In any one of means 1 to 24, it is suggested that the number of changing performances not suggested by the suggesting performance among the changing performances to be executed is smaller than the number of changing performances suggested by the suggestive performance. An effect is executed (for example, when two chance-up effects are suggested by the stock effect, less than two chance-up effects are executed without being suggested by the stock effect).
With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the existence value of the suggestive presentation and improve the presentation effect.

(Means 26) In any one of means 1 to 25, the suggesting effect executing means suggests which ready-to-win effect is to be executed in a identifiable manner, and then which change effect is executed during the suggested ready-to-win effect. (For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-12 (5) to (7), the stock effect indicates which chance-up effect is to be executed. is identifiable by the key image), when the first predetermined reach effect is executed and both the predetermined change effect and the special change effect are executed during the execution of the first predetermined reach effect, the first predetermined A special change after identifiably suggesting that a first predetermined ready-to-win performance will be executed rather than identifiably suggesting that a predetermined change performance will be executed after identifiably suggesting that a ready-to-win performance will be executed. There is a high rate of specifiably suggesting that the production will be executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, super reach A is executed and chance-up production (title) and chance-up production (revival) If both are executed, the chance-up production (revival) is suggested more than the chance-up production (title) in the chance-up stock production.
With such a configuration, when execution of a change effect with a low expectation is suggested superimposed on a reach effect with a low expectation, it is visualized that it is a combination of effects with an extremely low expectation, which discourages the player. However, by increasing the ratio of suggesting that a special change effect with a higher expectation than a predetermined change effect is executed when suggesting that a ready-to-reach effect with a low expectation is executed, Disappointment of the player can be prevented.

(Means 26-2) In any one of means 1 to 25, the suggestion effect executing means suggests which ready-to-win effect to be executed in a identifiable manner, and then which change effect is performed during the suggested ready-to-win effect. It is possible to execute a suggestive effect that identifiably suggests whether it will be executed (for example, as shown in FIGS. ), the first predetermined reach effect is executed, and both the first predetermined change effect and the second predetermined change effect are executed during the execution of the first predetermined reach effect. In this case, rather than identifiably suggesting that the first predetermined change effect is to be executed after specifiably suggesting that the first predetermined ready-to-win effect is to be executed, the execution of the first predetermined ready-to-win effect is performed. The ratio of identifiably suggesting that the second predetermined change effect will be executed after identifiably suggesting is high (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, super reach A is executed and the chance-up effect (title ) and the chance-up production (cut-in) are both executed, the chance-up production (cut-in) is suggested more frequently than the chance-up production (title) in the chance-up stock production.
With such a configuration, when execution of a change effect with a low expectation is suggested superimposed on a reach effect with a low expectation, it is visualized that it is a combination of effects with an extremely low expectation, which discourages the player. However, when suggesting that the ready-to-win performance with low expectation is executed, the ratio of suggesting that the second predetermined change performance with higher expectation than the first predetermined change performance is executed is increased. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged.

(Means 27) In any one of the means 1 to 26, the suggestive effect execution means determines whether the second predetermined ready-to-win effect is executed and whether the predetermined change effect or the special change effect is performed during the execution of the second predetermined ready-to-reach effect. When also executed, the second predetermined reach performance is executed rather than specifiably suggesting that the predetermined change performance is executed after specifiably suggesting that the second predetermined reach performance is executed. The ratio of identifiably suggesting that the special change effect is executed after identifiably suggesting is high (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, super reach B is executed and the chance-up effect (title) and chance-up production (resurrection) are both executed, the chance-up production (resurrection) is suggested more than the chance-up production (title) in the chance-up stock production.
Such a configuration suppresses the occurrence of a situation in which the player feels dissatisfied or unsatisfied with the combination of the second predetermined reach performance and the predetermined change performance, and the combination of the second predetermined reach performance and the special change performance is suppressed. In contrast, the player can be made to have a sense of expectation.

(Means 27-2) In any one of the means 1 to 26, the suggestive effect execution means executes the second predetermined ready-to-win effect, and during execution of the second predetermined ready-to-win effect, the first predetermined change effect and the second When both the predetermined change effect is executed, the second predetermined change effect is performed rather than identifiably suggesting that the first predetermined change effect is performed after identifiably suggesting that the second predetermined ready-to-reach effect is performed. After identifiably suggesting that the predetermined reach effect is executed, the ratio of identifiably suggesting that the second predetermined change effect is executed is high (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, super reach B is When both the chance-up production (title) and the chance-up production (cut-in) are executed, the chance-up production (cut-in) is performed more than the chance-up production (title) in the chance-up stock production. high percentage suggested).
Such a configuration suppresses the occurrence of a situation in which a player feels dissatisfied or unsatisfied with the combination of the second predetermined reach performance and the first predetermined change performance, and the second predetermined reach performance and the second predetermined change performance are suppressed. The player can have expectations for the combination of .

(Means 28) In any one of means 1 to 27, the ratio of execution of suggestive effects is higher when the second predetermined ready-to-win effect is executed than when the first predetermined ready-to-win effect is executed. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, the chance-up stock effect is executed at a higher rate when super reach B is executed than when super reach A is executed).
With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the suggestive effect is executed, thereby enhancing the effect of the effect.

(Means 29) In any one of means 1 to 28, the ready-to-win effect execution means can execute a special ready-to-win effect (for example, super ready-to-win C) that is executed when controlled in an advantageous state as a ready-to-win effect. , When the special reach production is executed, the suggestive production is not executed (for example, if it is super reach C, the execution decision of the chance up production and the stock production is not performed. Steps in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-5 001IWS802-S812).
With such a configuration, it is possible to concentrate on the special ready-to-win effect and enjoy the effect.

(Means 30) In any one of means 1 to 29, the change effect execution means executes, as the change effect, a special change effect (for example, chance up effect (resurrection)) that is executed when the control is in an advantageous state. It is possible, and the suggestive effect can specifiably suggest that a special change effect will be executed (for example, a stock effect corresponding to the chance-up effect (resurrection) can be executed. FIG. 8-7 (E )).
With such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the content of the suggestive effect, and to enhance the effect of the suggestive effect.

(Means 31) In any one of means 1 to 30, the suggestive effect executing means includes a plurality of ready-to-win effect suggestive images corresponding to each of the plurality of types of ready-to-win effects (for example, the enclosed characters shown in FIG. After displaying the display "death battle of two people", "sweeping operation") and selecting one of them, after erasing the selected and displayed reach effect suggestion image, multiple change effects corresponding to each of the multiple types of change effects A presentation mode in which suggestive images (for example, enclosed character display “title”, “subtitle”, “design”, “cut-in”, “resurrection” shown in FIG. 8-12 (5)) are displayed and one of them is displayed. (See, for example, FIGS. 8-12 (2) to (7)).
With such a configuration, it is possible to visualize a plurality of types of selectable ready-to-win effects and a plurality of types of change effects, thereby enhancing the effect of the effect.

Further, the characterizing portion 001IW discloses the configuration of the gaming machine shown in means A to means F shown below.

(Means A) A gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to a player, and variable display means for executing variable display of a plurality of types of decoration identification information (for example, decoration patterns). , a ready-to-win effect executing means capable of executing a ready-to-win effect (for example, super ready-to-win) after the combination of decoration identification information becomes a ready-to-win state; a change effect execution means capable of executing a change effect of changing the display color of information (for example, a chance increase effect (symbol) of changing the display color of the decorative pattern from the normal color (white) to blue, green, red, or gold); and a variable display means displays decoration identification information in a ready-to-win mode at a predetermined display position in a smaller size than before the ready-to-win performance is executed when the ready-to-win performance is executed. (For example, reach effects shown in FIGS. 8-11 to 8-14 (previous reach effects, stock effects, outpost effects , battle effects, etc.) are displayed in smaller sizes in the upper left and upper left corners of the image display area), and the decoration identification information is the first decoration identification information (for example, " 1” to “6” and “8” to “9” normal decoration patterns (normal color: white)) and second decoration identification information different from the first decoration identification information (for example, special decoration “7” pattern (normal color: gold)), and when a change effect is executed for one decoration identification information, it is in an advantageous state compared to a case where the change effect is not executed for the one decoration identification information. The degree of expectation to be controlled is high (for example, a chance-up performance (symbol) has a higher percentage of execution determination at the time of a big win than at the time of a failure, and the degree of expectation for a big win is higher when it is executed than when it is not executed. FIG. 8-5 (C) reference), the change effect executing means executes the change effect in the ready-to-win effect when the first decoration identification information is in the ready-to-win state, and the second decoration identification information is in the ready-to-win state. Do not execute the change production in the reach production when there is (for example, if the variation pattern is super reach A, B, it is possible to decide to execute the chance up production (symbol), but if it is super reach C, chance It is impossible to decide if the up effect is executed.Steps 001IWS802 to S812 in FIG.8-4, see FIG. ), and a second ready-to-win effect (for example, super ready-to-win C), which is controlled to be more advantageous than the first ready-to-win effect (see FIG. 8-1 (C)), can be executed. When the ready-to-win effect is executed after the second decoration identification information is in the ready-to-win state, the ratio of executing the second ready-to-win effect is higher than when the ready-to-win effect is executed after the first decoration identification information is in the ready-to-win state. (For example, in the variation pattern of super reach A or B, super reach A or B is executed after reaching a reach state with a normal decoration pattern, and in the variation pattern of super reach C, after reaching a reach state with a special decoration pattern Super Reach C is executed. Steps 001IWS802-S804 in FIG. 8-4, see FIG. 8-2), the expectation that the second identification information will be in the reach state is higher than the first decoration identification information will be in the reach state. In addition, in the variable display that triggers control to the advantageous state, the ratio of the first decoration identification information to the ready state is higher than the second decoration identification information to the ready state (for example, super reach A or B Also, super reach C has a higher expectation of a big hit, and in the case of a big hit, the ratio of super reach A or B is higher than super reach C. See Fig. 8-1(C).
With such a configuration, by providing the first decoration identification information that is the object of the change effect and the second decoration identification information that is not the object, it is possible to draw attention to which decoration identification information will cause the ready-to-win state. . In addition, when the ready-to-win state occurs with the second decoration identification information that is not targeted, the ready-to-win performance with a high degree of expectation is executed, so that disappointment of the player can be prevented, and the ready-to-win state is achieved with the first decoration identification information. When the state is set, the ready-to-win performance with higher expectation than when the ready-to-win state is reached by the second decoration identification information is not executed, but the change performance is targeted, so that the player can have expectations.

(Means B) A gaming machine that is controllable to an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to a player, and variable display means for executing variable display of a plurality of types of decoration identification information (for example, decoration symbols). , a ready-to-win effect executing means capable of executing a ready-to-win effect (for example, super ready-to-win) after the combination of decoration identification information becomes a ready-to-win state; a change effect execution means capable of executing a change effect of changing the display color of information (for example, a chance increase effect (symbol) of changing the display color of the decorative pattern from the normal color (white) to blue, green, red, or gold); and a variable display means displays decoration identification information in a ready-to-win mode at a predetermined display position in a smaller size than before the ready-to-win performance is executed when the ready-to-win performance is executed. (For example, reach effects shown in FIGS. 8-11 to 8-14 (previous reach effects, stock effects, outpost effects , battle effects, etc.) are displayed in smaller sizes in the upper left and upper left corners of the image display area), and a change effect is displayed for the decoration identification information in one reach state. When it is executed, there is a higher degree of expectation that it will be controlled in an advantageous state than when the change effect is not executed for the decoration identification information in the one ready-to-reach state (for example, the chance-up effect (symbol) is higher than when it is lost) 8-5 (C)), the ready-to-win effect execution means has a high probability of being determined to be executed at the time of the big hit, and the degree of expectation for the big win is higher when it is executed than when it is not executed. One ready-to-reach effect (for example, super ready-to-reach A, B), a second ready-to-win effect (for example, super ready-to-win C) with a high expectation of being controlled in a more advantageous state than the first ready-to-win effect and a low execution rate, and the change effect execution means enlarges and displays the decoration identification information displayed in a small size when the ready-to-win effect is being executed in a different display color, and moves it to a predetermined display position. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (17), after enlarging and displaying the decorative pattern in a different display color at the screen center position different from the normal position, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (18) As shown, the chance-up effect (symbol) is executed in a mode of moving the decorative pattern to the normal position), and the case where the first reach effect is executed is higher than the case where the second reach effect is executed. (For example, when Super Reach A and B are executed, chance-up effects (symbols) are performed at a higher rate than when Super Reach C is executed. executed. Step 001IWS802-S806 in FIG. 8-4).
When the ready-to-win effect is executed, the decoration identification information in the reach state is displayed in a small size to ensure the visibility of the ready-to-win effect. As for the 2 reach performance, by lowering the execution ratio of the change performance, it is possible to enjoy the content of the reach performance and not lower the performance effect.

(Means C) A gaming machine capable of performing variable display of identification information (eg, decoration pattern) and being controllable to an advantageous state (eg, jackpot game state) for the player, after the identification information is in a ready-to-win state. , a ready-to-win effect execution means capable of executing a ready-to-win effect (for example, super reach) that suggests being controlled in an advantageous state, and a part of the effect in the ready-to-win effect when the ready-to-win effect is being executed. A change effect that suggests that it is controlled to an advantageous state by changing (for example, the display color of title display, subtitle display, decoration pattern, cut-in display from normal color (white) to blue, green, red, gold A change effect execution means capable of executing a change chance-up effect, a chance-up effect (revival) that changes a defeat state to a victory state in a battle effect, and a change effect execution means that the change effect is executed. and a suggestive effect executing means capable of executing a suggestive effect (for example, stock effect) that suggests before, and as part of the effect in the ready-to-win effect, an information display ( For example, subtitle display), and the ready-to-win effect execution means maintains the progress of the ready-to-win effect even when the change effect is being executed (for example, even during the execution of the chance-up effect, the effect control related to super reach continues is executed), the change effect execution means outputs a notification sound in relation to the change of the target effect, and can execute the change effect even if the suggestive effect is not executed (for example , a non-key chance-up effect that does not go through the stock effect can be executed), a notification image is displayed so that at least a part of the effect image related to the ready-to-win effect that is being executed is invisible, and the notification image is erased. 8-25 (13), an effect image is executed as a notification image related to the chance-up effect as shown in FIG. 8-25 (13). At the same time, a character and a character display such as "subtitle rank up" are displayed in a manner that covers the effect image related to the outpost effect, and as shown in FIG. mode is changed), when the mode of information display is changed as the object of the change effect, the display of the notification image is started before the target information display is executed, and the notification image is erased. In the meantime, the target does not execute a different change effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-25, 8-26, 8-2, and 8-3, one chance-up effect is executed Sometimes other chance-up effects are not executed).
While making it easier to recognize that the change effect will be executed by displaying the notification image, if the progress of the reach effect is stopped at that time, the data volume of the image related to the reach effect will increase. , the video is progressing even while the notification image is being displayed. There is a possibility that interest will decline. Therefore, by not executing the change effect while the notification image is being displayed, the effect of the effect is not hindered and the interest is not lowered.

(Means D) A gaming machine capable of executing variable display of identification information (eg, decoration pattern) and controlling to an advantageous state (eg, jackpot game state) advantageous to the player, wherein the identification information is in a ready-to-win state. After that, a ready-to-win effect execution means that can execute a ready-to-win effect (for example, super reach) that suggests being controlled to an advantageous state, and a part of the effect in the ready-to-win effect when the ready-to-win effect is being executed. By changing the mode, a change effect that suggests that it is controlled to an advantageous state (for example, the display color of title display, subtitle display, decoration pattern, cut-in display is changed from normal color (white) to blue, green, red, etc. A change effect execution means capable of executing a chance-up effect of changing to gold, a chance-up effect of changing from a defeat state to a victory state (resurrection) in a battle effect, and a change effect that executes the change effect. a suggestive effect execution means capable of executing a suggestive effect (for example, stock effect) that suggests before the change effect is performed, and the suggestive effect executing means is a suggestive image that can specify the effect that is the target of the change effect (e.g. , A key image with the enclosed text display "Fight of the Two" and "Mopping Up Operation", and the enclosed text display "Title", "Subtitle", "Design", "Cut-in", and "Resurrection". key image), and the change effect executing means can execute the change effect even when the suggestive effect is not executed (for example, non-stock effect) A key chance-up effect can be executed), a first change effect (for example, a chance-up effect (title)), and a second change effect, which is controlled in a more advantageous state than the first change effect, has a high degree of expectation and a low execution rate. It is possible to execute a plurality of types of changing effects including a changing effect (for example, a chance-up effect (resurrection)), and when the suggestive effect and the second changing effect are executed, the second changing effect is generated by the suggestive effect. The ratio of suggesting the second change production is higher than the ratio of not suggesting (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (E), when the chance-up production (revival) is decided to be executed, (Resurrection) has a high rate of execution of stock effects).
If it is possible to identify which production is the target of the change production, the interest will be improved by visualizing the target, but depending on the suggested content, it will be understood that the expectation is not so high. , is configured to generate a change performance other than the suggested change performance. However, when the suggestive effect is executed, there is a possibility that the meaning of existence of the suggestive effect itself will be lost if it is executed without the suggestive effect with respect to the highly expected change effect as the change effect. Therefore, when the suggestive effect is executed, the ratio of suggesting the change effect with a high degree of expectation is increased so that the suggestive effect can be suitably executed.

(Means E) A gaming machine capable of performing variable display of identification information (eg, decoration pattern) and being controllable to an advantageous state (eg, jackpot game state) for the player, after the identification information is in a ready-to-win state. , a ready-to-win effect execution means capable of executing a ready-to-win effect (for example, super reach) that suggests being controlled in an advantageous state, and a part of the effect in the ready-to-win effect when the ready-to-win effect is being executed. A change effect that suggests that it is controlled to an advantageous state by changing (for example, the display color of title display, subtitle display, decoration pattern, cut-in display from normal color (white) to blue, green, red, gold A change effect execution means capable of executing a change chance-up effect, a chance-up effect (revival) that changes a defeat state to a victory state in a battle effect, and a change effect execution means that the change effect is executed. and a suggestive effect execution means capable of executing a suggestive effect (for example, stock effect) that suggests before the suggestive effect execution means, the suggestive effect execution means is a suggestive image (for example, an enclosure A key image with the character display "Two Deadly Fight" and "Sweeping Operation", and a key image with the enclosed character display "Title", "Subtitle", "Design", "Cut-in", and "Resurrection". ) can be displayed, and a plurality of types of suggestive images can be displayed, and a suggestive effect can be executed in a mode that suggests a plurality of target effects (for example, FIG. 8-12 ( 2) to display the enclosing character display "Fight between two people" and "mopping up operation", and for example, the enclosing character display "title", "subtitle", "design", " display "Cut-in" and "Resurrection"), and the change effect execution means can execute the change effect even when the suggestive effect is not executed (for example, the non-key chance-up effect without the stock effect is executed. possible), and execute a change production so that the number of change productions not suggested by the suggestion production is smaller than the number of change productions suggested by the suggestion production (for example, two chance-up productions by stock production When (key chance-up effect) is suggested, the chance-up effect (non-key chance-up effect) executed without being suggested by the stock effect is less than 2).
With such a configuration, it is possible to have expectations that the change performance will be executed even when the suggestion performance is not executed, and the number of change performances that are executed without being suggested by the suggestion performance becomes too large. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the existence value of the suggestion performance itself from being lowered.

(Means F) A gaming machine capable of executing variable display of identification information (eg, decoration pattern) and controlling to an advantageous state (eg, jackpot game state) advantageous to the player, wherein the identification information is in a ready-to-win state. After that, a ready-to-win effect execution means that can execute a ready-to-win effect (for example, super reach) that suggests being controlled to an advantageous state, and a part of the effect in the ready-to-win effect when the ready-to-win effect is being executed. By changing the mode, a change effect that suggests that it is controlled to an advantageous state (for example, the display color of title display, subtitle display, decoration pattern, cut-in display is changed from normal color (white) to blue, green, red, etc. a change effect execution means capable of executing a chance-up effect of changing to gold, a chance-up effect of changing from a defeat state to a victory state in a battle effect (resurrection), etc. A plurality of types of reach including a first ready-to-reach performance (for example, super ready-to-reach A and B) and a second ready-to-reach performance (for example, super ready-to-reach C) with a high degree of expectation controlled in a more advantageous state than the first ready-to-reach performance. A performance can be executed, and the change performance execution means has a first change performance (for example, a chance-up performance (title)) as the change performance, and the degree of expectation of being controlled to an advantageous state is higher than the first change performance. A plurality of types of change effects including a second change effect (for example, chance-up effect (resurrection)) can be executed, and after suggesting which reach effect to be executed can be specified, the suggested reach Suggestive effect execution means capable of executing a suggestive effect (for example, a stock effect that executes a reach stock effect and a chance-up stock effect) that can specify which change effect is to be executed during the execution of the effect. and the change effect executing means can execute the change effect even when the suggestive effect is not executed (for example, it is possible to execute the non-key chance-up effect without going through the stock effect) and execute the suggestive effect. When the first ready-to-win effect is executed and the first change effect and the second change effect are executed during the execution of the first ready-to-win effect, after suggesting the execution of the first ready-to-win effect, Rather than suggesting that the first change effect is executed, it suggests that the second change effect is executed at a higher rate (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-7, super reach A is executed When both the chance-up production (title) and the chance-up production (revival) are executed together, the chance-up production (title) is suggested more than the chance-up production (title) in the stock production for the chance-up. expensive).
If a weak change effect is suggested in addition to the ready-to-win effect with a low degree of expectation, it will be visualized that the effect configuration has an extremely low degree of expectation, which may disappoint the player. Therefore, as a change effect to be executed, the player is prevented from being discouraged by increasing the ratio of suggesting a strong change effect with respect to the ready-to-win effect with a low degree of expectation.
