The main board 100 includes random number generation means 210, normal lottery means 220, normal display control means 222, normal accessory control means 224, special lottery means 230, special display control means 240, game state transition control means 250, and special game execution. Means 260 , small winning game execution means 262 , payout control means 270 , communication control means 280 and main memory 290 are included.

The random number generating means 210 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery, and is implemented by a random number generator for generating hardware random numbers or a program for generating software random numbers. A software random number can be generated, for example, based on the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to cycle through a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, "random value" includes not only a value that is generated randomly in a mathematical sense, but also a value that is substantially generated even if the value itself is generated regularly because the acquisition timing is irregular. contains values that can act as random numbers.

The ordinary lottery means 220 obtains a random number for ordinary lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the passage gate sensor 104 for detecting game balls passing through the passage gate 48 one by one. A normal lottery is carried out to determine whether or not a normal win is possible with respect to the normal lottery random numbers stored in the normal random number storage means 2912 of the main memory 290 and read out from the normal random number storage means 2912 .

Specifically, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is provided with four ordinary reserved storage areas, ordinary reserved storage area 1 to ordinary reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing acquired random numbers for ordinary lottery. One ordinary reserved storage area is provided as a storage area for storing random numbers for ordinary lottery read out from the area 1 and performing an ordinary lottery until the fluctuation display and stop display of the ordinary symbols are completed. Then, when the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the random number for the ordinary lottery from the random number generating means 210, the random number for the ordinary lottery is not stored in any of the ordinary reservation storage areas 1 to 4. The normal lottery random number value obtained is first stored in the normal reservation storage area 1.例文帳に追加When the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal reserve storage area 1, the normal symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the normal lottery random number value is not stored in the normal reserve storage area. , When the control to open the movable member 54 of the ordinary accessory 55 is not being executed, the random number for the ordinary lottery is immediately read out from the ordinary reservation storage area 1, the ordinary lottery is performed, and the ordinary lottery is performed. A random number value is stored in the normal reserved storage area. On the other hand, execution of control to open the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 whether the normal pattern is being displayed in a variable manner or is being stopped, that is, whether the random number for the normal lottery is stored in the normal reservation storage area. If it is in the middle, the normal lottery random number value is reserved in the normal reservation storage area 1.例文帳に追加

When the normal lottery random number value is reserved in the normal reservation storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the passage gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random number value is obtained, the normal lottery means 220 , on the condition that the number of ordinary lottery random numbers reserved in the ordinary reserved storage area 1 to ordinary reserved storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of ordinary reservations is less than 4, The random number for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area, which is the ordinary reserved storage area in which the random number for the ordinary lottery is not reserved among the ordinary reserved storage area 1 to the ordinary reserved storage area 4 and has the smallest ordinal number.

When the normal symbol fluctuation display and stop display are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random number value stored in the normal reservation storage area, and the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal reservation storage area 1. When it is reserved, on the condition that the control to open the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed, the random number for the normal lottery is read out from the normal reservation storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, A random number for ordinary lottery used in ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area. Here, when the random number for the ordinary lottery remains after the ordinary reserved storage area 2, the remaining random number for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area whose ordinal number is one smaller than the original ordinary reserved storage area. move to For example, when the normal lottery random number remains in the normal reservation storage area 2-3, it is moved to the normal reservation storage area 1-2.

Thus, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, up to one ordinary lottery random number for which the ordinary lottery has been conducted is reserved in the ordinary reserved storage area, and the ordinary lottery random number for which the ordinary lottery has not been conducted is normally reserved. In area 1 to normal reserved storage area 4, up to 4 items are reserved.

Below, the details of the ordinary lottery will be described. The normal lottery means 220 performs normal winning determination processing, normal variation pattern determination processing, etc. as the normal lottery.

The normal hit determination process is a process of determining the propriety of the normal hit. In the normal win determination process, the normal lottery means 220 refers to which normal lottery table among a plurality of kinds of normal lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. is determined according to the game state.

In the gaming machine of this embodiment, a normal lottery table A and a normal lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. In each normal lottery table, 100 normal lottery random numbers from 0 to 99 are On the other hand, normal wins or loses are associated. Specifically, in the ordinary lottery table A, the correspondence relationship between the ordinary winning or losing and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the ordinary winning is won with a probability of about 13/20. A correspondence relation between a normal win or a loss and a random number for a normal lottery of 0 to 99 is set so that a normal win is won with a probability of 20. - 特許庁The normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the game state is the normal state or the special state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the game state is the probability variable state or the time saving state. .

Then, the normal lottery means 220 refers to the selected normal lottery table and determines whether or not one random number for normal lottery read out from the normal reservation storage area 1 of the normal random number storage means 2912 is associated with a normal win. By judging, it is judged whether or not a normal win is won.

Then, the normal lottery means 220 sets the winning flag for the normal winning to ON state in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the normal winning is won, and when the winning is lost, the normal winning is won. Set the flag to the OFF state.

The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of a plurality of variation patterns the normal symbol variation pattern is to be set according to the game state. In the normal variation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines the variation pattern of the normal symbols to be the normal variation pattern 1 when the game state is the normal state or the special state, and the game state is the probability variable state or the time saving state. In some cases, the variation pattern of the normal design is determined as the normal variation pattern 2. - 特許庁

The normal display control means 222 is means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs normal symbol display control processing and normal reserved display control processing.

In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display part 72 until the variation time corresponding to the normal symbol variation pattern determined in the normal variation pattern determination process elapses. Thus, the normal symbols are variably displayed, and the normal symbols are stopped and displayed by lighting or extinguishing the two lamps of the normal symbol display part 72 according to whether or not the normal winning is won in the normal winning decision processing. , the normal symbol display part 72 is caused to display the result of the normal lottery.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern of the normal design is the normal variation pattern 1, the variation time of the normal design is set to 2 seconds, and when the variation pattern of the normal design is the normal variation pattern 2 The variation time of normal symbols is set to 0.5 seconds. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is the normal state or the special state, the normal symbol variation pattern is determined as the normal variation pattern 1, so that the normal symbol variation time When the game state is set to 2 seconds and the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is the probability variable state or the time saving state, the normal pattern fluctuation pattern is determined as the normal fluctuation pattern 2, so that the normal pattern fluctuation time is increased.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first special random number value is lost, in the normal state, the larger the holding number of the first special random number value is, the shorter the variation time is set as the first special symbol variation time. Therefore, the frequency with which the opportunity to execute the special lottery comes can be increased. Furthermore, in the variable probability state, the special state or the time saving state, regardless of the number of reservations of the first special random number value, an extremely short fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol, so the special lottery execution trigger can arrive very frequently.

On the other hand, with respect to the second special random number value, when it is lost, in the normal state, regardless of the number of reservations of the second special random number value, an extremely long variation time is set as the variation time of the second special symbol. is increased, the frequency of triggering the execution of the special lottery can be made extremely low. On the other hand, in the probability variable state, the special state or the time saving state, the more the number of reservations of the second special random number increases, the more often an extremely short variation time is set as the variation time of the second special symbol, so the execution trigger of the special lottery. can arrive very frequently.

Also, when it becomes a small hit, regardless of whether it is the first special random number value or the second special random number value, and regardless of the number of reservations, in the first half variation pattern determination process, as shown in FIG. 9 (C) With reference to the small winning first half variation pattern lottery table shown, it is determined that there is no first half variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds, and in the second half variation pattern determination process, the second half of the small winning time shown in FIG. 11 (F) A fluctuation pattern lottery table is referred to, and a no-reach fluctuation pattern 1 whose fluctuation time is set to 1 second is determined.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a small hit is achieved, regardless of the number of reservations, a very short variation time is set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, so the special lottery execution opportunity is It can arrive very frequently.

Also, as described above, the special lottery means 230, when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not being displayed in a variable manner, the game state is not the special game state, and the small winning game is not being executed, the special random number The first special random number value or the second special random number value is read out from the storage means 2914, and special lottery such as jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first half variation pattern determination processing and second half variation pattern determination processing is performed. , When storing the first special random number value or the second special random number value in the special random number storage means 2914, the prior judgment processing includes jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first half variation pattern determination processing, and second half variation. Pattern determination processing and the like are performed (preliminary determination means).

Specifically, the special lottery means 230 (preliminary determination means) generates a special lottery random number from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize winning opening sensor 106 or the second start winning opening sensor 108. After acquiring the numerical value, before storing it as the first special random number in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or before storing it in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, according to the game state and the number of reservations at that time, the first special random number value or the second special random number value is subjected to a jackpot determination process and a symbol determination process as prior determination processing. processing, variation group determination processing, first half variation pattern determination processing, second half variation pattern determination processing, and the like.

Then, the special lottery means 230, the pre-determination results including the respective results of the jackpot determination process, symbol determination process, variation group determination process, first half variation pattern determination process and second half variation pattern determination process as the pre-determination process, the pre-determination process Either the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special random number 2 Special reservation storage area 4.

The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and is a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special reservation display control. process, the second special hold display control process is performed.

The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read out from the first special reservation storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the special display control means 240 performs the first half fluctuation. Until the total variation time of the variation time corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the pattern determination process and the variation time corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process passes, the first special symbol display unit After the first special pattern is variably displayed by flickering the 7-segment display 76, the 1st special pattern is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the first special pattern display part 76 in a prescribed manner.

In this embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is predetermined corresponding to each of 15 types of jackpot symbols, small wins and losses, and the special display control means 240 selects the jackpot or small win in the jackpot determination process. The 7-segment display of the first special pattern display part 76 is displayed in a mode corresponding to whether or not the player wins the prize, and in a mode corresponding to the jackpot pattern determined in the pattern deciding process when the jackpot is won in the jackpot deciding process. The first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting it, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display part 76. - 特許庁

The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read out from the second special reservation storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. Until the total variation time of the variation time corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the pattern determination process and the variation time corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process passes, the second special symbol display unit After the second special pattern is variably displayed by flickering the 7-segment display of 80, the 7-segment display of the second special pattern display part 80 is lit in a prescribed manner to stop and display the second special pattern.

Then, the special display control means 240 is arranged in a manner corresponding to whether or not a big win or a small win is won in the big win determination process, and if a big win is won in the big win determination process, the special display control means 240 displays the big win symbol determined in the symbol determination process. The 7-segment display of the second special symbol display part 80 is turned on in a corresponding manner to stop and display the second special symbol, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the second special symbol display part 80.例文帳に追加

In the first special pending display control process, the special display control means 240 lights the two lamps of the first special pending display section 78 according to the number of the first special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Or 0 to 4 first special reserved numbers are displayed by a combination of extinguishing or blinking.

In the second special pending display control process, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the second special pending display section 82 according to the number of the second special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 second special reserved numbers are displayed by a combination of extinguishing or blinking.

Game state transition control means 250, as shown in FIG. 12, based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition, through the special game state, normal state, variable probability state, special state, the game state between the time-saving state. A game state transition control process for shifting is performed.

The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and when a special lottery in the normal state wins a jackpot, the game is shifted to a special game state. Then, in the normal state, as shown in FIG. The opening time of the object 55 is set to 3 seconds, making it more difficult for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 53 than in the variable probability state and the time saving state.

As for the special lottery, the probability of winning the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, and the variation time of the first special symbol is the variation time according to the number of reservations, while the variation time of the second special symbol is 591 seconds. Therefore, the normal state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit left so that the game ball enters the first start winning hole 46 .

The special game state is started based on winning the jackpot in the special lottery in the normal state, variable probability state, special state, and time saving state, and the number of rounds (number of executions) predetermined according to the type of jackpot pattern. When the game is executed, it ends.

Specifically, when the special game state is started based on the fact that any of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern K and the 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B are won in the special lottery, The special game state ends on condition that 16 rounds of the special game from the 1st round to the 16th round are executed.

In addition, when the special game state is started based on the winning of the 2 round probability variable pattern or the 2 round normal pattern in the special lottery, the condition is that the 2 round special game of the 1st round to the 2nd round is executed. The special game state ends at .

The probability variation state is 16 rounds probability variation pattern A to 16 rounds probability variation pattern D, 16 rounds probability variation pattern F to 16 rounds probability variation pattern K, 2 rounds probability variation pattern The special game state started based on winning It is started when the game is played, and when a big hit is won in a special lottery in the variable probability state, the game is shifted to a special game state. And in the variable probability state, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), etc., for the normal lottery, the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 19/20, and the normal symbol fluctuation time is set to 0.5 seconds. The opening time of the normal role product 55 is set to 5 seconds, and the normal role product 55 is controlled to the open state more frequently and for a longer period than in the normal state and the special state. The passage gate 48 is provided so that the game ball falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 passes through the passage gate 48 with a high probability as described above. Since it is provided so that the game ball that has passed through the passage gate 48 reaches within 5 seconds, most of the game balls that fall in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 are in the second start winning opening 53 in the variable probability state. to enter the

And for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the first special pattern and the second special pattern is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds, so the probability variable state is , the game state is such that it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball to the right so that the game ball enters the second start winning hole 53.例文帳に追加In the variable probability state, the probability of winning a small win in the special lottery is set to about 1/2, but most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second start winning opening 53, so Even if a winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second big winning hole 56.例文帳に追加

Moreover, the variable probability state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the variable probability state reaches a predetermined specified number of times, and is shifted to a special state. Specifically, in this embodiment, the specified number of times is 100 times, 80 times, 60 times, 40 times, 20 times or 1 time for each of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern K and the 2 round probability variation pattern. Either is predetermined, and when the special game state started based on the winning of each probability variation symbol ends, the game state transition control means 250 corresponds to the specified number of times corresponding to each probability variation symbol ( For example, 80) is written in the specified number counter 2930 of the main memory 290 . Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the variable probability state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of one game from the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930, and the stored value of the specified number of times counter 2930 is Reaching a threshold (eg, 0) terminates the variable state and initiates the special state.

The special state is triggered by the end of the special game state started based on the number of times the special lottery is performed in the variable probability state reaches the specified number of times, or the winning of the 16 round probability variable symbol E. When a jackpot is won in a special lottery in a special state, the state is shifted to a special game state. In the special state, as shown in FIG. 3(B), etc., for the normal lottery, the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 13/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 2 seconds, as in the normal state. , and the opening time of the normal role 55 is set to 3 seconds, and the normal role 55 is controlled to the open state less frequently and for a shorter period than the variable probability state and the short time state, so the liquid crystal display 32 Of the game balls falling in the right game area 4, the number of game balls passing through the right passage 52 without entering the second start winning opening 53 increases, but if the right hitting is continued, the reserved second The game balls enter the second start winning hole 53 to such an extent that the 2 special random numbers do not disappear.

As for the special lottery, unlike the normal state, the probability of winning the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the first special pattern and the second special pattern is extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. In addition, the winning probability of the small prize is set extremely high as about 1/2, and the small prize game is frequently executed, so the game passes through the right passage 52 without entering the second start prize winning port 53. It is easy for the ball to enter the second big winning hole 56.例文帳に追加Therefore, the special state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball to the right so that the game ball enters the second big winning hole 56 .

In addition, if the special state is started when the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variable state reaches the specified number of times, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probability variable state and the special state is preliminarily set as the probability variable number It ends on the condition that it reaches the predetermined 10000 times, and on the other hand, when it is started when the special game state ends, the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state is predetermined as the probability variable number. 10,000 times is reached, and the state is shifted to the normal state. Specifically, the game state transition control means 250, when shifting the game state to the probability variable state after the end of the special game state, or when shifting the game state to the special state after the end of the special game state, the main memory 290 A value corresponding to 10000 times (for example, 10000) is written as a specified number of times in the probability variable number counter 2931, and each time a special lottery is performed in the probability variable number counter 2931, the stored value of the probability variable number counter 2931 corresponds to the number of games for one time. Perform a decrement update that subtracts the value (eg, 1) to be used. And when the stored value of the probability variable number counter 2931 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the special state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the special state, the probability of winning the jackpot in the special lottery is set to about 1/50. Most of the time the state is started, and it is almost impossible to transition from the special state to the normal state. That is, the special state is substantially continued until the jackpot is won.

The time saving state is started when the special game state started based on the winning of one of the 16 rounds normal symbol A to 16 rounds normal symbol B, and the 2nd round normal symbol has ended. When a jackpot is won in a lottery, the game is shifted to a special game state. And in the time-saving state, as shown in FIG. 3(B), etc., for the normal lottery, the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 19/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 0.00. Since the time is set to 5 seconds and the opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 enter the second start winning opening 53. It has become.

As for the special lottery, although the probability of winning the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. The time-saving state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball to the right so that the game ball enters the second start winning hole 53.例文帳に追加In the time-saving state, the probability of winning a small prize for the special lottery is set to about 1/5, but most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second start winning opening 53, so Even if a winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second big winning hole 56.例文帳に追加

Moreover, the time saving state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the time saving state reaches a predetermined specified number of times, and the state is shifted to the normal state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the prescribed number of times for the 16-round normal pattern A is predetermined to be 80 times, and the prescribed number of times for the 16-round normal pattern B is predetermined to be 60 times, and each normal pattern has been elected.

In the present embodiment, since the normal state is a gaming state in which a left-hand shot is to be performed as described above, a special lottery is basically performed for the first special random number value in the normal state, and a jackpot is not possible in the normal state. When winning and one of the 16-round definite variable pattern A to 16-round definite variable pattern D is won, the state is shifted to the definite variable state after the special game state ends. And in this case, the prescribed number of times determination table A shown in FIG. Times, 60 times, 40 times or 20 times are set as the specified number of times of the probability variation state.

And the probability variable state is a gaming state in which the right hand should be hit as described above. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the specified number of times according to each probability variation pattern, it is shifted to a special state.

On the other hand, when a jackpot win is won in the normal state and any one of the 16-round normal pattern A to the 16-round normal pattern B is won, after the special game state ends, the state is shifted to the time saving state. In this case, the prescribed number of times determination table A shown in FIG. 13A is referred to, and 80, which is the prescribed number of times when any one of the 16 rounds normal symbol A to 16 rounds normal symbol B is won in the normal state. times or 60 times is set as the prescribed number of times in the time saving state.

And the time-saving state is a gaming state in which a right-hand shot should be performed as described above, and a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the same way as the variable probability state, and the jackpot is not won in the time-saving state. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the prescribed number of times corresponding to each normal symbol, the state is shifted to the normal state.

And the special state is a game state in which the right hitting should be performed as described above, and a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value similarly to the variable probability state and the time saving state, and the small winning game is frequent. Along with being executed, the frequency of controlling the normal role product 55 to the open state is lower than the probability variable state and the time saving state, and the period in which the normal role product 55 is controlled to the open state is also short, so that the second big winning port 56 Since the game balls can easily enter the game ball, the more small wins are won without winning the big win, the more game balls can be acquired by the small win game.

In the special state, when a jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16 round probability variable pattern E, the 16 round probability variable pattern I to the 16 round probability variable pattern K is won, the state is shifted to the special state again after the special game state ends. .

On the other hand, when a jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16 round probability variable pattern F to the 16 round probability variable pattern H and the 2 round probability variable pattern is won, the state is shifted to the probability variable state after the special game state is finished. And in this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. 60 times, which is the specified number of times, is set as the specified number of times of the variable probability state.

In addition, when a jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16th round normal pattern A to the 16th round normal pattern B or the 2nd round normal pattern is won, the state is shifted to the time saving state after the end of the special game state. In this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. The specified number of times, 80 times or 60 times, is set as the specified number of times in the time saving state.

Thus, in the present embodiment, as long as one of the 16 round probability variation pattern E, 16 round probability variation pattern I to 16 round probability variation pattern K is elected in the special state, the special state and the special game state are repeated, and in the special state, the small hit Depending on the game, many game balls can be acquired by the special game in the special game state.

Temporary stop display is performed in a mode (losing mode) different from the left production pattern 350 and the right production pattern 354, and the first special pattern in the first special pattern display part 76 or the second special pattern in the second special pattern display part 80 is stopped. Almost at the same timing as when it is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14(F), the medium effect pattern 352 is completely stopped in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect pattern 354. Fixed stop is displayed.

Further, for example, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, or when the jackpot determination process results in a loss, and when the ready-to-win effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol display is performed. With the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the portion 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80, as shown in FIG. The variable display of the production pattern 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 15(B), first the left production pattern 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 15(C), the middle production pattern 352 is variably displayed. The right performance symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner as the left performance symbol 350 (ready-to-win mode). Then, as shown in FIG. 15(D), reproduction display of the effect animation corresponding to the determined ready-to-win effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol display portion 80 is displayed. The reproduction display of the effect animation is ended within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in .

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 15(D), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, a production animation in which the main character A fights the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed, and this production animation is reproduced and displayed. In this case, instead of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 corresponds to the left effect pattern 350. A reduced left effect pattern 360, a reduced middle effect pattern 362 corresponding to the middle effect pattern 352, and a reduced right effect pattern 364 corresponding to the right effect pattern 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 15(D), the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (ready-to-win mode), while the reduced effect pattern 362 is variably displayed.

Then, when the jackpot has been won, as shown in FIG. At the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced medium effect pattern 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (jackpot mode) as the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364, so that the jackpot is won. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the effect animation in which the main character A wins over the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. After the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 15(G), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are confirmed and stopped at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Along with the display, the speaker 14 outputs an effect sound for notifying the player of the winning of the big win, thereby definitely notifying the player of the winning of the big win.

On the other hand, if the jackpot has not been won, as shown in FIG. 15(H), a moving image is reproduced in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduction medium effect pattern 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a different mode (ready-to-lose mode) from the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364, thereby causing a loss. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the moving image in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. After the 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 15(J), the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are fixed and stopped in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. By doing so, the player is definitely notified of the loss.

Here, in the special lottery effect processing, a common effect moving image may be played back and displayed in both the case of winning the jackpot and the case of losing, so when the common effect moving image is played back and displayed, It is possible to greatly increase the player's sense of expectation for the winning of the jackpot.

In this way, in this embodiment, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the effect pattern corresponding to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. The left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352 and the right performance pattern 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery while heightening the expectation of the player for winning the big prize. After that, the player is notified of the result of the special lottery by displaying the fixed stop display.

In the pending display effect process, the effect control means 300, based on the command corresponding to the first special pending number or the second special pending number in the main substrate 100, the second special random number storage means 2914 reserved in the main memory 290 An image showing the status of the first special random number value or the second special random number value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 . In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16(A), at the bottom of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 of the special random number storage means 2914, or the second Four reservation display areas (display areas) of a first reservation display area 411 to a fourth reservation display area 414 are provided corresponding to the special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4, and each reservation display In the area, as shown in FIG. 16A, a first reserved image 420 indicating in which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 the first special random number is reserved, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16(B), a second reserved image 422 indicating which of the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 4 the second special random number is reserved can be displayed. It's becoming

Specifically, the effect control means 300, when the second special random number value is not reserved in any of the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4, the first special reservation storage area 1 In the state where the first special random number is on standby and reserved, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special reserved storage area 2 are respectively In the state where the first special random number is on standby and reserved, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved When the second special random number value is not reserved in any of the storage areas 1 to 4, the second random number reserved in the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage area 4 is The first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 according to the number of one special random number values. In the example of FIG. 16(A), the second special random number is not reserved in any of the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 4, and the first special reserved storage areas 1 to 1 Since the first special random number is reserved in each of the special reserved storage areas 3, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the third reserved display area 413.

In addition, the effect control means 300 stores the first In the state where the second special random number is waiting and reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the second special reserved storage area 1 and the second special reserved storage area 2 are respectively displayed. In the state where the 2 special random numbers are waiting and reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved storage area When the second special random number is reserved in any of the first to second special reserved storage areas 4, the second special reserved in the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 4 A second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 according to the number of random values. In the example of FIG. 16(B), the second special random number is reserved in each of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 2, so that the first reserved display area 411 to the second reserved A second pending image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412 .

Further, in this embodiment, in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, in the area to the left of the first reserved display area 411, the first special reserved storage area or the second special reserved storage area of the special random number storage means 2914 , one of the suspension display areas 430 is provided, and in the suspension display area 430, the first special random number is read from the first special suspension storage area 1 and stored in the first special suspension storage When stored in the area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number is read out from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the second special reserved storage area, the second 2 reserved image 422 is displayed.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 16A, the first special random number value is read out from the first special reserved storage area 1, a special lottery is performed, and the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area. Then, as shown in FIG. 16C, the effect control means 300 moves the first pending image 420 displayed in the first pending display area 411 to the pending display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350 , start the variable display of the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354, and the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area after the second reserved display area 412 is displayed with one ordinal number from the original reserved display area. Perform display control to move to a small reserved display area. As a result, the first pending image 420 displayed in the pending display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value to be the target of this special lottery, and the first pending displayed after the first pending display area 411 The image 420 can indicate that it corresponds to the first special random number value that will be the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Then, as shown in FIG. 16(D), when the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are fixed and stopped and the result of this special lottery is displayed, it is stored in the first relevant special reservation storage area. The first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is erased as the first special random number displayed is erased. Further, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reservation storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300, although not shown, displays the first reservation displayed in the first reservation display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the reserved display area 430, and the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 is started and displayed in the second reserved display area 412 and subsequent reserved display areas. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to a reserved display area having an ordinal number smaller by one.

Also, although not shown, in a state in which a plurality of second special random numbers are reserved in the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 4, the second special random numbers from the second special reserved storage area 1 is read and a special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the second special reservation storage area, the effect control means 300 displays the second reservation image 422 displayed in the first reservation display area 411 is moved to the reserved display area 430, the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 are started to be displayed in a variable manner. Display control is performed to move the reserved image 422 from the original reserved display area to a reserved display area whose ordinal number is one smaller. As a result, the second pending image 422 displayed in the pending display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the second pending displayed after the first pending display area 411 The image 422 can indicate that it corresponds to the second special random number that will be the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

In addition, the effect control means 300, according to the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value, after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired, the first special random number value Alternatively, for the second special random number, until the fluctuation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, or after the first special random number or the second special random number is obtained, the first special random number Alternatively, for the first special random number value or the second special random number value acquired immediately before the second special random number value, until the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, the effect device 176 performs a look-ahead effect. to execute. In this embodiment, in the look-ahead effect as the specific effect, for example, the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value determined to execute the look-ahead effect A special background different from a normal background image, such as changing the color and shape, displaying an effect image around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, displaying an object image such as a character image, etc. or display an image. In this embodiment, when the game state is the normal state or the penalty state, the second special random number does not perform the look-ahead effect, and when the game state is the variable probability state, the special state or the time saving state, A look-ahead effect is not performed for the first special random number value.

Here, the performance control means 300 determines whether the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value is that the jackpot has been won, or that the result has been lost. In some cases, the look-ahead effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value only when the special lottery effect is performed in the ready-to-win effect pattern.

Specifically, in this embodiment, in each of the variation group lottery table A to variation group lottery table G shown in FIG. Each of the decision random values is associated with one of groups 0 to 7 excluding groups 4 and 5, and each of the eight fluctuation group decision random values of 90 to 97 is associated with the group 4 is associated, and each of the two fluctuation group decision random numbers of 98 to 99 is associated with group 5, so if the fluctuation group decision random number is any of 0 to 89 In, depending on the number of holds or the game state, there are cases where the no-reach variation pattern is determined and cases where the reach variation pattern is determined, and the variation group determination random value is any one of 90 to 99. , the reach variation pattern is always determined regardless of the number of reservations or the game state, and the no reach variation pattern is not determined.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the special lottery means 230 loses in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, the variation group determination random number included in the first special random number or the second special random number Is, if it is any of 0 to 89, set the indefinite value information indicating that the reach fluctuation pattern is determined is indefinite as a pre-determination result, and if it is any of 90 to 99 sets fixed value information indicating that the reach fluctuation pattern is always determined as a pre-determination result.

Then, when the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is that the jackpot is won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not to execute the look-ahead effect for the first special random number value or the second special random number value. A pre-reading effect lottery is performed, but if the jackpot is not won, it is determined whether or not the fixed value information is included in the preliminary determination result, and if the fixed value information is included , A pre-reading performance lottery is performed.

As a result, in this embodiment, at the time when the preliminary determination process is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, and at the time when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random number value or the second special random number value, , even if the number of reservations is changed, if a special lottery is performed with respect to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the look-ahead effect is determined, the jackpot will be won or the player will lose. Also, a special lottery effect can be executed in a ready-to-win effect pattern.

And the effect control means 300, when the execution of the prefetch effect is determined by the prefetch effect lottery for the first special random number, the first special reservation storage area and the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage Among the first special random number values reserved in the area 4 and obtained prior to the first special random number value for which execution of the look-ahead effect is determined, the first special random number value included in the preliminary determination result The result of the jackpot determination process is the one that won the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is the one that is lost, but the preliminary determination result includes fixed value information When there is no first special random number value, the look-ahead performance is started assuming that the condition for starting the look-ahead performance is satisfied.

In addition, when execution of the prefetch effect is determined by the prefetch effect lottery for the second special random number, it is reserved in the second special reservation storage area and the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4. Among the second special random number values obtained prior to the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined, the second special random number value included in the preliminary determination result of the jackpot determination process. A second special random number whose result is a jackpot winning result, or a second special random number value whose result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is a loss but whose preliminary determination result includes fixed value information When the special random number does not exist, the look-ahead performance is started assuming that the condition for starting the look-ahead performance is satisfied.

As a result, in the present embodiment, at the time when execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the winning of the jackpot for the first special random number number or the second special random number number already reserved is possible. When it is confirmed, when the special lottery effect is executed in the ready-to-win effect pattern, and when it is confirmed that the special lottery effect is executed in the ready-to-win effect pattern, it is executed by the confirmed jackpot. After the special game state is completed, or after the special lottery performance by the ready-to-win performance pattern that is being executed or is confirmed to be executed is completed, the look-ahead performance can be started. .

3. Control Method of this Embodiment Below, the control method of this embodiment will be described in detail. As described above, in the present embodiment, the normal state is a game state in which a left-hand shot should be performed, while the variable probability state, special state, time-saving state, and special game state are a game state in which a right-hand shot should be performed. Therefore, when the player hits right in spite of the normal state, an instruction effect (specific effect) is performed to instruct the player to hit left.

Here, if the passing of even one game ball is detected by the passing gate sensor 104 (specific detecting means) in the normal state, the instruction effect is immediately executed. For example, when the player hits to the right, the player may feel uncomfortable with the command effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, within 10 seconds after the passing of one game ball is detected by the passing gate sensor 104 in the normal state, when the passing of one game ball is detected by the passing gate sensor 104, , the instruction production is executed.

More specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, the instruction effect state, which is the effect state of the instruction effect, transitions between an initial state, a standby state, and an execution state. The instruction rendering state is set to the initial state. Then, as shown in A1 of FIG. 17A, when passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104, the game state is the normal state, and the instruction effect state is the initial state. 2, the instruction effect is not immediately executed, but first the instruction effect state is shifted to the standby state, and the reset timer 3114 of the sub-memory 310 starts counting 10 seconds.

Then, as indicated by A2 in FIG. 17A, when the passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104, the game state is the normal state, and the instruction effect state is the standby state. , the instruction effect is immediately executed.

On the other hand, as shown in B1 of FIG. 17(B), when passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104, the game state is the normal state, and the instruction effect state is the initial state. 17(B), while the passage of the game ball is not detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the standby state, although the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds. B2, when the reset timer 3114 counts 10 seconds, the instruction rendering state is shifted to the initial state. Then, as shown in B3 of FIG. 17B, even if passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the initial state after the end of the standby state, the instruction performance is not executed, and the instruction performance is not executed. The state is shifted to the standby state, and the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds.

That is, in this embodiment, the passing of one game ball is further detected by the passing gate sensor 104 during the waiting state of 10 seconds after the passing of one game ball is detected by the passing gate sensor 104 in the initial state. In this case, the instruction effect is executed. As a result, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the player from continuing to hit the right side even though the player should hit the left side, and to prevent the instruction effect from being excessively executed, thereby making the player feel uncomfortable. can be prevented.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since whether or not the instruction effect can be executed is managed by time, the range of time from when the passing of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 to when the instruction effect is executed in the normal state. can be kept constant.

Here, in the present embodiment, as the instruction effect, an image instruction effect (first specific effect) in which a text image saying "Please hit left" is displayed in the central portion of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 (first effect device). Then, a sound instruction effect (second specific effect) for outputting a voice saying "Please hit left" from the speaker 14 (second effect device) is executed.

In the present embodiment, when the instruction effect is executed, it is determined whether or not the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are displayed for fixed stop (specific period), and fixed stop is performed. When it is not displayed, the image instruction effect and the sound instruction effect are executed, but when the fixed stop display is performed, the image instruction effect is not executed and the sound instruction effect is executed.

As a result, in this embodiment, the visibility of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 which are fixed and stopped by the image instruction effect can be prevented from being hindered.

Further, in this embodiment, as indicated by A2 in FIG. 17A, when passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104, the game state is the normal state, and the instruction effect state is the normal state. When the execution of the instruction effect is started by being in the standby state, the instruction effect state is shifted to the execution state, and the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds.

Then, as indicated by A3 in FIG. 17A, when passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104, even if the game state is the normal state, the instruction effect state is the execution state. In some cases, the instruction effect is not executed. Then, as indicated by A4 in FIG. 17A, when 4 seconds are clocked by the reset timer 3114 in the execution state, the instruction rendering state is shifted to the standby state.

That is, in the present embodiment, even if the passage of one game ball is detected by the passing gate sensor 104, the instruction performance is not executed during the execution state for 4 seconds after the execution of the instruction performance is started. As a result, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the instruction effect from being executed while the instruction effect is being executed. In this embodiment, the execution time of the instruction effect is 3 seconds, but the duration of the execution state is 4 seconds. It is vacant.

In this embodiment, in the waiting state after the execution state is completed, the passage of the game ball is not detected by the passage gate sensor 104, and the reset timer 3114 further counts 6 seconds as indicated by A5 in FIG. Then, when the reset timer 3114 counts 10 seconds after the instruction rendering state is shifted to the execution state, the instruction rendering state is shifted to the initial state.

On the other hand, although not shown, when passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the standby state after the end of the execution state, one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the standby state after the end of the initial state. As in the case where the passage of the game ball is detected, the instruction effect is immediately executed, the instruction effect state is shifted to the execution state, and the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the instruction effect is executed, if the passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 during the waiting state of 6 seconds after the end of the execution state, Instruction production is executed. As a result, in the present embodiment, even if the execution of the instructed effect is completed, the instructed effect can be immediately executed when hitting to the right is performed.

In this embodiment, even if the game state is the normal state when the passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104, the second special reserve storage area and the second special reserve storage area 1 ~ If the second special random number is stored in any of the second special holding storage area 4, that is, even if the time saving state ends and the state is shifted to the normal state, the second special random number that is held remains When the second special random number is reserved, the effect of the performance is lowered when the instruction performance is executed because the performance is executed to raise the expectation that the big win will be brought back. Therefore, the above-described processes related to the execution of the instruction effect are not performed.

Further, in this embodiment, when the passage of one game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104, even if the game state is normal, if a special game or a small winning game is being executed, In the special game or the small winning game, the game ball can enter the first big winning hole 50 or the second big winning hole 56 by hitting to the right, so the above-described processes related to the execution of the instruction effect are performed. do not have.

Below, the flow of processing performed by the effect control means 300 regarding the execution of the instruction effect will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 18 and 19. FIG. As shown in FIG. 18, when the passage gate sensor 104 detects the passage of one game ball (Y in step S100), the effect control means 300 determines that the game state is normal (Y in step S102). ), the second special random number is not reserved in any of the second special reservation storage area, the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4 (Y in step S104), and the special game or When the small winning game is not being executed (Y in step S106), it is determined whether or not the instruction effect state is the initial state (step S108).

Then, when the instruction effect state is the initial state (Y in step S108), the instruction effect state is shifted to the standby state (step S110), and the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds (step S112). When passage of the game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the standby state (Y in step S114), the process returns to step S102, but passage of the game ball is not detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the standby state ( When the reset timer 3114 counts 10 seconds (N at step S114) (Y at step S116), the instruction rendering state is shifted to the initial state (step S118).

Further, when the instruction effect state is not the initial state (N in step S108), as shown in FIG. If it is in the state (Y in step S120), it is determined whether or not the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are in the fixed stop display (step S122). Then, when the fixed stop display is being performed (Y in step S122), the sound instruction effect is executed without executing the image instruction effect (step S124). ), an image instruction effect and a sound instruction effect are executed (step S126).

Then, the instruction rendering state is shifted to the execution state (step S128), and the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds (step S130). Then, when passage of the game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the execution state (Y in step S132), the process returns to step S102 of FIG. When the reset timer 3114 counts 4 seconds (Y in step S134), the instruction rendering state is shifted to the standby state (step S136).

When passage of the game ball is detected by the passage gate sensor 104 in the standby state (Y in step S138), the process returns to step S102 of FIG. (N at step S138), and when the reset timer 3114 counts 6 seconds (Y at step S140), the instruction effect state is shifted to the initial state (step S142).

Also, if the instruction effect state is not the standby state, that is, if the instruction effect state is the execution state (N in step S120), the process is terminated as it is.

4. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible. Modifications will be introduced below. It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as control methods for realizing the present invention.

First, in the above-described embodiment, the above-described processing is performed when the passage of the game ball is detected by the passing gate sensor 104, but the above-described processing is performed when the game ball is detected by another sensor. may be performed. Then, when the game ball is detected by another sensor, the above-described processing may be performed, and the lottery may be performed, the lottery may not be performed, or the game ball may be selected. may be paid out, or game balls may not be paid out.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds as the instruction effect state shifts to the standby state, and the reset timer 3114 starts counting 10 seconds as the instruction effect state shifts to the execution state. However, the number of seconds counted by the reset timer 3114 may be different between when the instruction effect state shifts to the standby state and when the instruction effect state shifts to the execution state. .

Further, in the above embodiment, when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are fixed and stopped, the image instruction effect is not executed but the sound instruction effect is executed. As described above, even when the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 are fixed and stopped, the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern which are fixed and stopped are displayed.
