In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the game state. Either one is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in internal lottery.

In the random number determination process, based on the start signal from the start switch 230, a random number (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generation means 110 for each game, and the acquired random number is stored in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a. By referring to the internal lottery table stored in the stored main lottery table storage area 1910, it is determined whether or not the winning combination has been won.

In the lottery flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , on state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more winning combinations are won in duplicate, the lottery flags corresponding to each of the two or more winning combinations are set in the winning state. The setting information of the lottery flag is stored in the lottery flag storage area 1915 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a.

In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, there is a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that allows the winning state to be carried over to subsequent games until a prize is won, and a non-selection flag that does not carry over the winning state to subsequent games regardless of the winning state. A lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. A combination to which the former carryover possible flag is associated is a big bonus (BB), and a small combination and replay are associated with the latter carryover impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 conducts an internal lottery to determine the success or failure of a small combination and replay even in a game in which the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, if a small combination or replay is won, the lottery flag of the already won big bonus (BB) is set. A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winnings consisting of a minor winning combination won in an internal lottery and a lottery flag for replay is set in a winning state.

The reel control means 130 starts rotating the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 which is activated by the game start operation on the start lever SL, and the first reel R1. Stop operation by pressing stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reel in which the third reel R3 is steadily rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute) and control to stop the first to third reels R1 to R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a mode corresponding to the setting state of the lottery flag (the result of the internal lottery).

Then, the reel control means 130 stops the reels from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is activated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state in which the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled. Based on the signal, all-phase excitation driving pulses are supplied to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310, thereby controlling to stop each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

That is, each time one of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. It controls to stop the reel at the stop position determined. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to the operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to the operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to the operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the order of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the order of stopping the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, within 190 ms from the point at which the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the spinning reels corresponding to the pressed stop buttons are stopped for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. It's like When the spinning reels are to be stopped within 190ms from the point at which the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each spinning reel is set so that the number of frames required from the point at which the stop button is pressed until the reels stop is 0 frames. It is determined within the range of ~4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130 causes the pattern corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery to be displayed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button pressed down among the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the display position on the active line is within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames at the time when the pressing operation is performed, the pattern corresponding to the combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state is the active line As shown in the upper display position, control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button pressed.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, red 7 symbols "red 7" and blue 7 symbols "blue 7" are applied to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first to third reels R1 to R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , BAR symbol "BAR", replay symbol "RP", bell symbol A "BLA", bell symbol B "BLB", watermelon symbol "WM", cherry symbol "CH", dummy symbol 1 "DUM1", and dummy symbol 2 If "DUM2" is arranged, and the symbols constituting the winning form of the role are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, when the stop switch 240 is activated (pressing of the stop button is detected) It can be displayed on the active line regardless of the depression detection position, which is the position of the reel at the point in time).

In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the reel unit 310 is provided with a reel index 315 consisting of a photo sensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 each time the reel makes one rotation. By obtaining the rotation angle (rotational step number of the rotation shaft of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index 315), the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored. It's becoming That is, the reel control means 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is activated by obtaining the rotation angle of the reel from the reference position.

In addition, the reel control means 130 refers to a stop control table stored in the stop control data storage area 1911 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a to determine the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference processing). In the stop control table, the corresponding relationship between the depression detection position and the actual stop position is set according to the setting state of the lottery flag. In the stop control table, depending on the setting state of the lottery flag, the correspondence relationship between the press detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the amount of rotation from the press detection position to the actual stop position may be set.

In the stop control table that is referred to when one of the batting order bells 1 to 6 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. A correct hitting order is preset according to the type, and a pressing order different from the correct hitting order is treated as an incorrect hitting order. In the present embodiment, when any of the batting order bells is won, the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that a small winning combination of 15 is won in the order of correct batting and a small winning combination of 1 is awarded in the order of incorrect batting. ing.

In addition, in the stop control table referred to when JAC1 wins, the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that a 15-piece small combination wins, and in the stop control table referred to when JAC2 wins, The stop position with respect to the depression detection position is set so that one small winning combination is won.

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop state of the first to third reels R1 to R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage area 1912 provided in the main ROM of the game information storage means 190a, all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination displayed on the activated line at the time point is in the form of winning a predetermined winning combination. Then, depending on the combination of symbols displayed on the activated line in the state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. A winning determination table is prepared so that the determination can be made.

Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, processing at the time of winning determination is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 . As the winning determination process, for example, the payout control means 150 performs medal payout control processing, the replay processing means 160 performs replay processing, and the game state transition control means 170 performs state transition control processing for shifting the game state. is done.

The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are distributed to the hopper unit 320 ( (dispensing device) is controlled to dispense.

The hopper unit 320 pays out the number of medals to be paid out as instructed by the payout control means 150 . The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates each time one medal is paid out. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

When the credit of medals (internal storage) is permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, credit information is stored in the credit information storage area 1914 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a. A process of virtually paying out medals is performed by performing a credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the credited number of credits (the number of credited medals).

When the replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs replay processing (replay processing) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the replay wins, the same number of medals as the number set in the input state in the previous game (the game in which the replay wins) is given to the player ( (including credit medals) are automatically inserted without being used, and the game start operation for the next start lever SL is awaited while the same effective line as in the previous game is set.

The game state transition control means 170, as shown in FIG. 9, performs a game state transition control process for transitioning the game state among a normal state, a bonus establishment state, and a bonus state. In this embodiment, the information indicating the staying game state is stored in the state storage area 1916 provided in the main RAM of the game information storage means 190a. As for the game state transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are defined, the game state is changed based on the satisfaction of one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all of the plurality of predetermined conditions. It is possible to move to another game state.

The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the bonus establishment state. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus established state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning probability is set to about 1/7.3, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. An internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table 1. - 特許庁

The bonus establishment state is a game state that shifts to when a big bonus (BB) is won in an internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, the probability of winning the replay is set to about 1/3.9 among the internal lottery tables 1 to 3 shown in FIG. An internal lottery with reference to the lottery table 2 is performed.

In addition, in the bonus established state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. Then, the game state transition control means 170 shifts the game state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

The bonus state is a game state that shifts to when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of a big bonus (BB) is displayed on an active line. In the bonus state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 3 out of the internal lottery tables 1 to 3 shown in FIG.

In addition, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out according to the bonus state, and when a predetermined number of medals (for example, 100) are paid out, the game is started. The state transition control means 170 performs control to terminate the bonus state and return the game state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, the condition for ending the bonus state is determined by the total number of medals paid out, but the condition for ending may be determined by the number of games played in the bonus state or the number of times a small winning combination is won. Also, the bonus state may be one in which the end condition is set so that the game ends after one game.

In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when both the big bonus (BB) and the small combination are won in the bonus establishment state, the winning of the small combination is prioritized over the symbols constituting the winning form of the big bonus (BB). The patterns constituting the form are displayed on the effective line, and when both the big bonus (BB) and the replay are won, the rotating reels are stopped so that the replay wins with priority over the big bonus (BB). A big bonus (BB) is awarded only when the internal lottery results in a loss.

In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, a plurality of types of first winning modes (batting order bells) in which a plurality of types of correct small winning combinations (small winning combination 1 to small winning combination 6) are won without overlapping each other. 1 to batting order bell 6), and in the bonus state, there is a second winning mode (JAC 1) in which a plurality of types of correct small winning combinations are duplicated, and in the bonus state, the internal lottery is the second. The probability of winning two winning modes is lower than the probability of winning one of a plurality of types of first winning modes in an internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, and the winning probability of each of the plurality of types of correct small winning combinations is normal and in the bonus winning state. An internal lottery is performed so that the value is higher than the bonus establishment state. That is, in the bonus state of the present embodiment, the probability of winning each of the small winning combination 1 to small winning combination 6, which has a higher payout than the prescribed number of insertions (three coins), is higher than in the normal state or the bonus establishment state, and all the small winning combinations are won. The probability is also higher than in the normal state and the bonus established state, but the probability of obtaining the second winning mode (JAC1) including the small winning combination 1 to the small winning combination 6 with a higher payout than the prescribed number of inputs is the normal state and the bonus established state. is lower than the probability of obtaining the first winning mode (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6) including small wins 1 to 6, so medal acquisition rate in bonus state (number of payouts / number of insertions) expected value can be less than 100%.

After the display is finished, the display of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is erased.

Further, when the enlarged display of "2", which is the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, is started at timing T0 (when the first stop operation is executed), the second navigation numeral display is started at timing T2 (three frames after T0). The enlarged display of the number display object IMG2 is completed and the reduced display is started, and at the timing of T4 (eight frames have passed since the start of the effect), the reduced display of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is completed and the enlarged display is started, and then T5. (13 frames have passed since the start of the presentation), the enlarged display of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 ends and the reduced display starts. When the enlarged display of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 ends at the timing of T2, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is displayed in a display mode in which enlarged display and reduced display are repeated until the second stop operation is performed. (scaling loop display). In addition, the display mode of the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 does not change by the first stop operation performed in accordance with the correct stroke order, and the display in the second size (for example, display magnification of 100%) is maintained. . Also, when the first stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes at the timing when "1", which is the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, is displayed in the second size (for example, display magnification of 100%), , the display mode (display in the second size) of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is maintained, and reduced display of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is started at timing T1 (one frame has elapsed from T0).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, when the first stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assistance effect is executed, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is enlarged and displayed to the second size. Enlarged display processing of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 and enlargement display processing of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 for enlarging and displaying the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 to the third size are started, and the first navigation numeral display object After the enlargement display processing of IMG1 is completed, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is displayed in a reduced size to the minimum size, and the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is reduced (deleted), and the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is reduced. After the enlargement display process is completed, the enlargement/reduction loop process of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 for repeating the enlargement display and reduction display of the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 is performed.

In the present embodiment, in response to a stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object (predetermined operation order display object) corresponding to the stop operation is erased. In some cases, the transparency of the navigator number display object to be erased is changed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the first navigator number display object IMG1, which is the first navigator numeral display object IMG1, starts to be displayed in reduced size at timing T1 until the reduced display ends at time T3. The transparency of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is changed (fluctuated), and the transparency of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 becomes 100% at the timing of T3 when the reduction display of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 ends. Gradually increase transparency. That is, in the reduced display processing (erasing processing) of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, the transparency of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is gradually increased from 0% to 100%.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 13, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is displayed during the period from when the enlarged display of "1", which is the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, is started until the enlarged display ends at the timing of T1. I try not to change the transparency. That is, in the enlargement display processing of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, the transparency of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is kept unchanged, and is displayed with a constant transparency (for example, 0%). In order to erase the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 in this manner, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is enlarged and then reduced, and while the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is being enlarged, the transparency of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is changed. is not changed, and the transparency of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is changed after the reduced display is started.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the winning assistance effect, navigation voice (first sound, specific effect sound), effect sound (first sound, specific effect sound), effect sound (second sound, effect sound different from specific effect sound) The sound device 340 is caused to execute a sound effect for generating a sound effect such as a non-specific effect sound). Here, the navigation voice indicates the correct hitting order (the game information that assists the game or the game information that is advantageous to the player). These are the voice of "naka" indicating the button B2 and the voice of "migi" indicating the stop button B3. In this embodiment, sound data (sound data) such as a plurality of types of BGM, navigation voices, effect sounds, and sound effects are stored in the WAV file format in the effect data storage area 1930 of the sub ROM, and the effect control means 180 determines the sound to be output based on the performance pattern determined by the performance lottery table, reproduces the sound data of the determined sound, and outputs the sound from the speaker (acoustic device 340). In addition, in this embodiment, a plurality of sound data can be reproduced simultaneously using a plurality of channels, and when a plurality of sound data are reproduced simultaneously, these sound data are synthesized and output to the speaker.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, sound data such as BGM, navigation voice, effect sound, and sound data are stereo output data, and two channels are used at the time of reproduction. output from the speaker.

In this embodiment, predetermined BGM is reproduced during the game in the AT state, and in the sound effect, the game start operation for the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 are performed. At the trigger, the effect sound and the navigation voice or the performance voice are output superimposed on the BGM. Specifically, when a game start operation is performed with respect to the start lever SL, a navigation appearance sound for producing the appearance of the navigation number displays IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2" and "3" is output as a sound effect. When the first, second, or third stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes, a lost navigation sound for erasing the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation is output as a sound effect. The navigation appearance sound also functions as an operation sound indicating that a game start operation has been performed on the start lever SL, and the navigation disappearing sound also functions as an operation sound indicating that a stop operation has been performed on the stop button. .

Further, for example, if the pressing order of the batting order 3 (B2->B1->B3) is the correct batting order, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, the navigation voice of "Naka" is output, and the correct batting order is followed. When the first stop operation is performed, the navigation voice of "hidari" is output, and when the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct hitting order, the navigation voice of "migi" is output, and the third stop in accordance with the correct hitting order. When the stop operation is performed, the effect sound of "get" is output. When the game start operation and the first and second stop operations are performed on the start lever SL in this way, the type of stop button to be operated next is notified by the navigation voice, and when the third stop operation is performed. , the fact that 15 medals have been won (that 15 small wins have been won) is announced by the effect sound.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the volume is set in advance for the navigation sound, the lost navigation sound, the navigation sound, and the effect sound. The volume peak (maximum volume) occurs at the timing t2 from the start, and the volume peak (maximum volume) occurs at the timing t1 from the start of sound output as shown in FIG. , “Hidari”, “Naka”, and “Migi”, and the production voice of “Get”, as shown in FIGS. Volume is set to generate peaks (maximum volume). The peak value of the volume of the navigation appearing sound, the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation voice, and the effect voice is set to a value larger than the peak value of the volume of the BGM.

Also, if the navigation sound or disappearing navigation sound and the navigation voice or directing sound are generated at the same time, the volume of the navigation appearing sound or disappearing navigation sound is higher than a predetermined value (a value smaller than the peak value, the reference value, or the threshold value). It is set so that the volume of the navigation voice or the effect voice can also be a value greater than a predetermined value during the period when the value is large (volume greater than the predetermined volume), for example, FIGS. 24B to 24F, at timings t2 and t3 when the volume of the navigation sound is greater than the predetermined value, the volume of the navigation voice and effect voice is also greater than the predetermined value. Thus, at timings t2 and t3 when the volume of the lost navigation sound is greater than the predetermined value, the volume of the navigation voice and effect voice is also greater than the predetermined value. However, as shown in FIGS. 24B to 24F, at timing t1 when the volume of the lost navigation sound is greater than the predetermined value, the volume of the navigation voice and effect voice is less than the predetermined value.

In addition, if the navigation sound or the navigation disappearing sound and the navigation voice or the effect sound are generated at the same time, the volume of the navigation sound or the disappearing navigation sound is greater than a predetermined value at the time when the volume of the navigation sound or the effect sound peaks. (volume greater than a predetermined volume), for example, as shown in FIGS. The volume of the sound or the lost navigation sound becomes a value greater than a predetermined value. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 25A to 25D, the game start operation for the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 are triggered by the navigation appearance sound or the navigation If the disappearing sound and the navigation voice or the production voice are generated at the same time, it becomes difficult to hear the navigation voice or the production voice.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the volume of the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound is set to a predetermined value (predetermined volume) or less at the time when the peak of the volume of the navigation voice or the effect sound occurs. A navigation voice or a production voice is generated.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, the sound data of the navigation voices of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi" and the effect voice of "Get" in the present embodiment have silence data at the beginning. is provided, and the period from the start of reproduction until a predetermined time (for example, 100 ms) elapses (from the start of reproduction to time t4) is a silent period. Note that the sound data of the navigation voices of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi" and the effect voice of "Get" are set to the same length (same time) of silent periods. In addition, the silent period of the navigation voice and the production voice is long so that when the sound data of the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound is played at the same time, the time when the volume peak of the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound occurs is included in the silent period. is set.

In the winning assistance effect, a sound effect (predetermined sound effect) for generating a navigation sound and a navigation voice is executed in response to a game start operation on the start lever SL. More specifically, when the start lever SL is pressed (predetermined conditions are met), as shown in FIG. ) at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice is a silent period, after the silent period of the navigation voice has passed since the sound of the navigation sound started, the sound of the navigation voice of "Naka" will start. , A peak in the volume of the navigation-appearing sound occurs during the silent period of the navigation voice.

In addition, when the first stop operation is performed along the correct hitting order (for example, B2→B1→B3) in the game in which the prize-winning assist effect is executed, a sound effect (predetermined sound effect) that generates a lost navigation sound and a navigation voice. to run. Specifically, when a stop button (for example, stop button B2) is pressed (if a predetermined condition is met), as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the sound data of the navigation voice of "hidari" is reproduced simultaneously. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice is a silent period, after the silent period of the navigation voice has passed since the sound of the lost navigation sound started, the sound of the navigation voice of "Hidari" will start. , the volume peak of the lost navigation sound occurs during the silent period of the navigation voice.

In addition, when the second stop operation is performed along the correct hitting order (for example, B2→B1→B3) in the game in which the prize-winning assist effect is executed, a sound effect (predetermined sound effect) that generates a lost navigation sound and a navigation voice. to run. Specifically, when a stop button (for example, stop button B1) is pressed (when a predetermined condition is met), as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the sound data of the navigation voice of "Migi" is reproduced at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice is a silent period, after the silent period of the navigation voice has passed after the disappearing navigation sound starts to be emitted, the navigation voice of "Migi" will start to be emitted. , the volume peak of the lost navigation sound occurs during the silent period of the navigation voice.

In addition, when the third stop operation is performed along the correct hitting order (for example, B2 → B1 → B3) in the game in which the winning assistance effect is executed, a sound effect (predetermined sound effect) that generates a navigation disappearing sound and an effect sound. to run. Specifically, when a stop button (for example, stop button B3) is pressed (when a predetermined condition is met), as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the sound data of the effect sound of "get") is reproduced at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the sound effect is a silent period, the sound of the sound effect of "get" will start after the soundless period of the sound effect has passed since the sound of the navigation disappearing sound started. , the volume peak of the lost navigation sound occurs during the silent period of the effect sound.

Also, when the stop button (for example, stop button B3) related to the third stop operation performed along the correct hitting order (for example, B2→B1→B3) in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed is released. , to execute a sound presentation for generating a medal payout sound. In this embodiment, the winning determination process is performed by the winning determination means 140 when the pressed state of the stop button related to the third stop operation is released, and the payout control means 150 performs the winning determination process based on the result of the winning determination. Since medal payout control processing and the like are performed, when the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in a game in which the winning assistance effect is executed, a sound effect is produced to generate a medal payout sound accompanying the payout of medals. let it run.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in each of the game start operation for the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the winning assist effect, the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearance sound is generated. A sound effect that generates a navigation voice or a sound effect is executed, and in this case, when the volume of the navigation sound or the effect sound peaks, the volume of the navigation sound or the disappearance sound is less than or equal to a predetermined value (predetermined volume). Since the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound and the navigation voice or the performance voice are generated so that the navigation voice and the performance voice can be easily heard, an effective performance can be performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, the sound data of the navigation voice and the effect voice of the present embodiment is provided with silence data at the beginning, and a predetermined time (for example, 100 ms) has elapsed since the start of playback. The period until (the period from the start of reproduction to the time t4) is a silent period (predetermined period, specific effect sound non-production period). And when executing a sound effect that generates a navigation voice or the like in the winning auxiliary effect, by simultaneously reproducing the sound data of the navigation sound or the navigation disappearance sound and the sound data of the navigation voice or the effect sound When the volume peak of the lost navigation sound occurs, the navigation voice or the effect sound is not generated, and the navigation voice or the effect sound is generated after the silence period of the navigation sound or the effect sound has passed, so the sound overlap is reduced. It is possible to make it easier to hear the navigation appearing sound, the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation voice, and the performance voice, and to perform an effective performance.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 26A to 26D, the volume of the navigation appearing sound and the navigation disappearing sound is set to decrease after reaching a peak. When executing a sound effect that generates such as, by simultaneously playing the sound data of the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound and the sound data of the navigation voice or the effect sound, the volume of the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound is attenuated. Since the navigation voice or effect sound is generated after the start of the operation, the volume of the navigation sound or disappearance sound can be set to a predetermined value (predetermined volume) or less at the time when the volume of the navigation sound or the effect sound peaks. , the navigation voice and the performance voice can be made easier to hear, and effective performance can be performed.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when executing a sound effect that generates a navigation voice or the like in the winning assistance effect, a silent period of the navigation voice or the effect sound has elapsed after the sound of the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound is started. By starting to output the navigation voice or the performance voice after the navigation voice or the performance voice, it is possible to reduce the overlap of the sound, so that the temperature rise of the speaker can be suppressed, and the occurrence of the failure of the speaker can be suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a sound effect for generating a navigation voice or the like is executed in the winning assist effect, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, when the first stop operation is performed, 2 When the 3rd stop operation is performed and when the 3rd stop operation is performed, the length of the silent period of the navigation voice or the effect voice is the same. It is possible to keep the period until the production sound is generated constant, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the correct hitting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, a sound effect is executed to generate a warning sound and a production sound of "miss", and the correct hitting order is executed. It notifies that the stop operation was performed in a different order of pressing. In this case as well, the same technique as in the case where the stop operation is performed in the order of the correct strokes in the game in which the winning assistance effect is executed can be adopted, and the warning sound is emitted at the time when the volume peak of the effect sound of "miss" occurs. It is possible to generate a warning sound and an effect sound of "miss" so that the volume becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value (predetermined volume). Specifically, a game in which silent data is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the effect voice of "Miss", and a silent period is set until a predetermined time (for example, 100 ms) elapses from the start of reproduction, and the winning assist effect is executed. 2. Triggered by the pressing operation of the stop button related to the stop operation performed in the pressing order different from the correct hitting order, the sound data of the warning sound and the production voice of "miss" are reproduced at the same time. Then, since the beginning of the sound data of the sound effect of "Miss" is a silent period, the sound of the sound effect of "Miss" will be output after the silent period of the sound effect has passed since the warning sound started to be emitted. is started, and a peak in the volume of the warning sound occurs during the silent period of the effect sound. As a result, it is possible to make it easier to hear the production voice of "Miss", and it is possible to perform an effective production.

Further, in the present embodiment, regarding the effect mode of the prize-winning assist effect, the case where the pressing order of the batting order 3 (B2→B1→B3) is the correct batting order has been described as an example. Even when the pressing order of the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 is the correct batting order, the winning assist performance is executed in the same performance mode.

3. 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.

In the above embodiment, the case where the navigator number display objects IMG1-3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in order in the prize winning effect has been described as an example, but these navigator number display objects IMG1-3 may not appear sequentially, and these navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 may be made to appear at the same time, or the navigation number display object IMG1 of "1" appears first, followed by "1". The navigation number displays IMG2-3 of "2" and "3" may be made to appear at the same time.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in the winning assistance effect, these navigation number display objects IMG1 to IMG3 are displayed in two frames (2/30). Although the case where the display start timing is shifted by 1 second) has been described as an example, the time for shifting the display start timing is not limited to 2 frames (2/30 second), but is 1 frame (1/30 second). ) or 3 frames (3/30 seconds). The time may be longer or shorter than the standby time from the start until the display of "3" is started, or the same time.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the navigation number displays IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2" and "3" appear in the winning assistance effect, the navigation number displays of "1", "2" and "3" are displayed. Although the case where each of IMG1-3 is enlarged and displayed for the same predetermined display time has been described as an example, some of the navigation numerals IMG1-3 of "1", "2", and "3" The display time required for enlarged display of the display object (for example, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1) is used for the enlarged display of other navigation numeral display objects (for example, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 and the third navigation numeral display object IMG3). It may be longer or shorter than the required display time. For example, in the winning assistance effect, the display start timing of the navigation number displays IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" is shifted by a predetermined waiting time (for example, 2 frames (2/30 seconds)). may be displayed, and the enlarged display of all the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 may be ended at the same time, or the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" may be displayed in the winning assistance effect. Simultaneously display and start enlarged display, end the enlarged display at the timing according to the type of navigation number display, and end the enlarged display of some navigation number display at a different timing than other navigation number display. You can let it run.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the navigation number displays IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in the winning assistance effect, the navigation number displays of "1", "2", and "3" are displayed. The example of displaying each of IMG 1 to 3 in 3 frames (3/30 seconds) was explained, but the display time required for the enlarged display of the navigation number display is limited to 3 frames (3/30 seconds). 2 frames (2/30 seconds) or 4 frames (4/30 seconds) can be set arbitrarily.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in the winning assistance effect, when the first navigation number display object IMG1 is enlarged and displayed, the first navigation number display object IMG1 is displayed. The first navigator numeral display object IMG1 is displayed in a manner in which enlarged display and reduced display are repeated until the stop operation is performed. The first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be displayed in a fixed size (for example, a second size) until the display is completed. In this example, when the first stop operation is performed along the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 corresponding to the stop operation is set to the third size (for example, 140%). display magnification) and then reduced display, or the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be displayed reduced without being enlarged.

Similarly, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assistance effect is executed, when the enlarged display of the navigation numeral display corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed ends. , the case where the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be operated next is displayed in a display mode in which enlarged display and reduced display are repeated until the next stop operation is performed was explained as an example, but the enlarged display ends. Then, the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next may be displayed in a fixed size (for example, the third size) until the next stop operation is performed. In this example, when the second or third stop operation is performed along the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assistance effect is executed, the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is displayed in the fourth size (for example, 180%). display magnification) and then reduced display, or the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation may be displayed reduced without being displayed enlarged.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in the winning assistance effect, the display of the appearance effect moving image of the first navigation number display object IMG1 ends. The case where the display of the navigation appearance moving image that causes the navigation number display items IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" to appear is finished before the stop button B1 to B3 has been explained as an example. It is desirable to finish displaying the navigation appearance moving image before the operation is validated. It should be noted that the appearance effect moving image of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 does not have to be displayed until the stop button B1 to B3 is activated.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the navigator number display objects IMG1-3 of "1", "2", and "3" appear in the winning assistance effect, the transparency of these navigator number display objects IMG1-3 is not changed. has been described as an example, the transparency of these navigator number displays IMG1 to IMG3 may be changed, for example, the transparency may be gradually reduced from 100% to 0%.

Further, in the above embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation number display object in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display object to be erased is enlarged and displayed. However, when deleting a navigation number display object, the change in display mode of the navigation number display object to be erased is not limited to enlarged display or reduced display. The shape of the navigator number display object to be erased may be changed. That is, when erasing the corresponding navigation number display object in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the correct hitting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the display mode of the navigation number display object to be erased is changed. A moving image (animation) and a second moving image (animation) are displayed, and while the first moving image is being displayed, the transparency of the navigation numeral display object to be erased is not changed, and the first moving image is displayed. After the display of the second moving image is started subsequently, the transparency of the navigation numeral display object to be erased may be changed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation number display object in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the transparency of the navigation number display object to be erased is set to 0. % to 100%, but it is not necessary to change the transparency of the navigator number display to be erased to 100%. You may make it change.

Further, in the above embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation number display object in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display object to be erased is enlarged and displayed. While the navigation number display does not change the transparency of the navigation number display, the transparency of the navigation number display is changed after the reduced display of the navigation number display to be erased is started. The transparency of the navigation number display object to be erased may be changed while the navigation number display object to be erased is being enlarged (the first moving image is displayed), or the navigation number display object to be erased may be reduced. The transparency of the navigation numeral display object may be kept unchanged even while it is being displayed (displaying the second moving image).

Further, in the above embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation number display object in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation number display object to be erased is enlarged and displayed. Although the case where the image is displayed in a reduced size is described as an example, the image may be displayed in a reduced size without being displayed in an enlarged size.

Further, in the above embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation numeral display object in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the correct hitting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation is erased. An example of a case where the enlarged display is performed in one frame (1/30 second) and then the reduced display is explained, but the display time required for the enlarged display of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is one frame (1/30 second). Seconds), but can be set arbitrarily, such as 2 frames (2/30 seconds) or 3 frames (3/30 seconds). The display time required for enlarged display (for example, 3 frames (3/30 seconds)) or less may be used.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when erasing the corresponding navigation number display in response to the stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the enlarged display at the time of appearance of the navigation number display is performed. In a display time (e.g., 4 frames (3/30 seconds)) longer than a predetermined display time (e.g., 3 frames (3/30 seconds)) required for the stop operation, the navigation numeral display corresponding to the stop operation is displayed in a reduced size. Although the case was explained as an example, the display time required for the reduced display of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is not limited to 4 frames (4/30 seconds), but 2 frames (2/30 seconds). or 3 frames (3/30 seconds), etc., and a display time shorter than the predetermined display time (for example, 3 frames (3/30 seconds)) required for enlarged display when the navigation number display appears (A display time different from the predetermined display time) or the same display time may be used to reduce and display the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation. That is, in this example, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assistance effect is executed, the enlarged display of the navigation number display corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed ends. The navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation may be erased by the time the stop operation is performed. In this way, since the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is quickly erased, it is possible to make it easier to recognize that the navigation number display is erased, and the type of stop button to be operated next. can be prevented from being misunderstood, and an effective production can be performed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in response to the first or second stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the next stop operation to be operated is enlarged. When displayed, the display time is the same as the predetermined display time (for example, 3 frames (3/30 seconds)) required for enlarged display when the navigation number display appears, and the navigation corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next Although the case of enlarging the numerical display object was explained as an example, the display time required for the enlarged display of the navigation numerical display object corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next is limited to 3 frames (3/30 seconds). Instead, it can be set arbitrarily such as 1 frame (1/30 sec), 2 frames (2/30 sec), 4 frames (4/30 sec), etc. The navigation numeral display object corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next may be enlarged and displayed for a display time shorter or longer than the predetermined display time.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in response to the first or second stop operation performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the navigation numeral display object corresponding to the next stop operation to be operated is enlarged. When displaying, the case where the transparency of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is not changed was explained as an example, but the transparency of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation may be changed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the winning assistance effect, the appearance effect image IMG4 is displayed so as to be superimposed on the first navigation numeral display object IMG1. On the other hand, the case where the appearance effect is generated has been described as an example, but the appearance effect can also be generated by displaying the appearance effect image IMG4 in a display area different from the display area of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1. By superimposing the appearance effect image IMG4 not on the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 but on the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 or the third navigation numeral display object IMG3, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2 or the third navigation numeral display object IMG3 can be displayed. The appearance effect may be generated for the navigation numeral display object IMG3, or the appearance effect may be generated for all the navigation numeral display objects IMG1-3.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the winning assistance effect, "1", "2", and "1", "2", and " 3”, the display of the navigation appearance moving image that causes the navigation number display objects IMG1 to 3 to appear has been explained as an example. It is sufficient to finish enlarging the navigation number display object IMG1 of "1", and for the navigation number display objects IMG2 and 3 of "2" and "3", the appearance effect moving image of the first navigation number display object IMG1 is displayed. The enlarged display may end after the end. In this example, the display time required to display the appearance effect moving image of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 is set to 3 frames (3/30 seconds) or 6 frames (6/30 seconds), and the first navigation numeral display When the display of the appearance effect moving image of the object IMG1 ends, the display may be shifted to a loop display. Further, the display end timing of the navigation appearance moving image and the appearance effect moving image of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be the same. In this example, the display time required to display the appearance effect moving image of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 may be set to 7 frames (7/30 seconds).

Further, in the above embodiment, when the display of the appearance effect moving image of the first navigator number display object IMG1 is completed in the winning assistance effect, the loop display moving image of the appearance effect display object IMG4 is displayed (loop display) as an example. As explained above, it is not necessary to display the loop display moving image of the appearing effect display object IMG4, and when the display of the appearing effect moving image of the first navigation numeral display object IMG1 ends, the appearing effect display object IMG4 is erased. may

In the above-described embodiment, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in the prize-winning effect, the display of the navigation numeral display object IMG1 of "1" and the appearance effect image IMG4 are simultaneously started. As explained above, the display of the navigator number display object IMG1 of "1" may be started before the display of the appearance effect image IMG4 is started. The display of the numeric display object IMG1 may be started.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assistance effect is executed, before the erasing of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is completed, Although the case of completing the enlarged display of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation to be performed next has been described as an example, after the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is completed, the next operation is performed. Enlarged display of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation to be performed may be completed, or at the timing when erasing of the navigation number display corresponding to the stop operation is completed, corresponding to the next stop operation to be performed Enlarged display of the navigation numeral display object to be displayed may be completed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the first or second stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the effect is the same as the appearance effect that is generated when the navigation number display object appears at the start of the game. The effect of the appearance of the display mode of is generated for the navigation number display object corresponding to the next stop operation to be operated as an example, but it is generated when the navigation number display object appears at the start of the game Appearance effects may be generated in a display mode different from the appearance effect.

As explained above, the appearing effect display object IMG4 may be drawn on a layer higher than the layers for drawing the navigator number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2" and "3". Also, each of the navigation numeral display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" may be drawn on separate layers, or the navigation numbers of "1", "2", and "3" may be drawn on separate layers. Some or all of the numerical display objects IMG1 to IMG3 may be drawn on the same layer.

In the present embodiment, the disappearing effect display object IMG5 is drawn in a layer higher than the layer in which the navigator number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are drawn. As explained above, the disappearing effect display object IMG5 may be drawn on a layer lower than the layer on which the navigator number display objects IMG1 to 3 of "1", "2", and "3" are drawn.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the correct hitting order in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the display mode is the same as when the stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct hitting order. Although the case of erasing all the navigation number display objects has been described as an example, the navigation number display objects being displayed may be erased in a display mode different from the case where the stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes. , For example, when a stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the correct hitting order in a game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the displayed navigation number display object is displayed in grayscale, and the next stop operation, medal insertion, or When the bet button B0 is operated, the displayed navigation number display may be erased.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the appearing effect and the disappearing effect are generated in the prize-winning substantiation was explained as an example, but one or both of the appearing effect and the disappearing effect may be omitted, and the appearing effect and the disappearing effect may be generated. It may or may not occur.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the correct hitting order has 6 options has been described as an example. There may be three options in which the button B3 is pressed first. In this example, as shown in FIG. 27, in the winning assistance effect, a first navigation numeral display IMG1 indicating the first stop operation, and a second navigation display indicating that the second stop operation may be either An object IMG6 and a third navigation display object IMG7 indicating that any third stop operation may be performed are displayed at display positions corresponding to the respective stop buttons B1 to B3, thereby determining the operation order of each stop button. You may make it alert|report. FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an image displayed in the winning assist effect when the order of pressing the stop button B2 first is the order of correct strokes. Also in this example, the winning assist effect may be executed in the same effect mode as in the above-described embodiment. In this example, when the first stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, the second navigation display object IMG6, and the third navigation display object IMG7 are displayed. is erased, and in this case, each of the first navigation display object IMG1, the second navigation display object IMG6, and the third navigation display object IMG7 may be enlarged and then displayed in a reduced size, or may be displayed in an enlarged manner. Alternatively, the first navigation display object IMG1 may be enlarged and then reduced, and the second navigation display object IMG6 and the third navigation display object IMG7 may be displayed without being enlarged. You may make it reduce and display.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case of executing a sound effect that generates two types of effect sounds including a navigation voice etc. in the winning assistance effect has been described as an example, but three or more types of effect sounds may be generated. good. In this example, the sound data of three or more types of effect sounds may be set to have different lengths of silent periods (including no silent period), and these sound data may be reproduced simultaneously.

In the above-described embodiment, an example of executing a sound effect that generates the effect sound of the navigation appearance sound or the navigation disappearance sound and the navigation voice or the effect sound in the winning assistance effect has been described. The sound effect to be generated is not limited to one type, and two or more types of sound effects may be generated. Two or more types of navigation voices or effect voices may be generated. In this example, the sound data of three or more types of effect sounds may be set to have different lengths of silent periods (including no silent periods), and these sound data may be reproduced simultaneously.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where silence data is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice and the effect voice has been described as an example, but the sound data of the navigation voice and the effect voice and the silence data are separate data, and the navigation voice In the sound effect that generates such as, the sound data of the navigation sound or the navigation disappearance sound data may be played back at the same time as the silence data, and when the playback of the silence data is completed, the sound data of the navigation voice or the effect voice may be played. . Even in this way, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. Silence data is not limited to data with a volume of "0", and may be sound data with a volume equal to or lower than a reference value.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where silence data is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice and the effect sound has been described as an example. Silence data may not be provided for voice and effect voice. Even in this way, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained, and the sound data of the navigation sound or disappearing navigation sound and the sound data of the navigation voice or the effect voice can be reproduced at the same time, so that the volume of the navigation voice or the effect sound can be obtained. When the peak occurs, the sound that appears or disappears from the navigation is not generated, and the sound that appears or disappears after the silent period of the sound that appears or disappears from the navigation is generated, so the sound overlap is reduced. It is possible to make it easier to hear the navigation appearing sound, the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation voice, and the performance voice, and to perform an effective performance.

Also, in the above embodiment, the silent period is set to the same length (same time) in the sound data of the navigation voices of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi", and the sound data of the effect voice of "Get". , the length of the silent period may be different. For example, the sound data of the navigation voices of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi" have the same silent period (same time) However, the effect voice of "get" may have a different (longer or shorter) silent period than the navigation voices of "hidari", "naka" and "migi".

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where silent data (silent period) is provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation voice and the production voice is explained as an example, but it is not necessary to provide the silent data. In the sound effect to be generated, the measurement of a silent period (for example, 100 ms) is started at the same time as the sound data of the navigation appearing sound or the navigation disappearing sound is started to be played, and when the silent period has passed, the navigation voice or the effect sound is played. Data may be reproduced. Even in this way, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

In addition, the length of the silent period may be different in each of the game start operation and the first to third stop operations with respect to the start lever SL, or the length of the silent period may be changed only in some operation opportunities. For example, the length of the silent period may be different between when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL and when the first to third stop operations are performed, or when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL. The length of the silent period may be different between the time and the first stop operation and the second and third stop operations, or when the start lever SL is operated to start the game, and when the first and second stop operations are performed. The length of the silent period may be different between the stop operation and the third stop operation, or the game start operation and the second stop operation on the start lever SL and the first and third stop operations. The length of the silent period may be different depending on the time, or the length of the silent period at the time of the game start operation on the start lever SL, the first and third stop operations, and the second stop operation. may be different. Further, the length of the silent period may be different between the game start operation on the start lever SL, the first stop operation, and the second and third stop operations, or when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL. The length of the silent period may be different between the first and second stop operations and the third stop operation. The length of the silent period may be different between when the third stop operation is performed and when the third stop operation is performed. In this example, a plurality of sound data having different lengths of silent periods may be prepared for each navigation voice and effect sound, and sound data may be selected according to the silent period for the effect sound to be generated.

Also, if the length of the silent period is the same for some or all of the operation triggers of the game start operation for the start lever SL and the first to third stop operations, it is completely the same. The length of the silent period may be substantially the same or similar, and may be different within a range that does not give the player a sense of discomfort. In particular, in the above embodiment, the length of the silent period is adjusted in relation to the output voices such as "Hidari", "Naka", "Migi", and "Get" within a range that does not make the player feel uncomfortable. They may have substantially the same or similar lengths. Even in this way, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the length of the silence period in the sound data of the navigation voices of "Hidari", "Naka", and "Migi" and the effect voice of "Get" is set to 100 ms, for example. However, the length of the silent period is not limited to this, and may be shorter or longer than 100 ms. Also, the length of the silent period may be less than or equal to 190 ms, which is the maximum time required from the point at which the stop button is pressed until the reels are stopped.

Further, in the above embodiment, the game start operation on the start lever SL and the first and second stop operations are used as a trigger to execute the sound effect of generating the navigation voice, but the winning assist effect is executed. When the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game played, the type of stop button to be operated next is determined, so only the disappearing navigation sound is generated, and the navigation voice is not generated. good.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed and 15 small wins are won, the characters "GET!" are displayed on the liquid crystal display. has been described as an example, the characters "GET!" may be displayed when the stop button is pressed. In this way, the timing of generating the effect sound "GET" and the timing of displaying the characters "GET!" In the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, even if the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of the correct strokes, the characters "GET!" may not be displayed. It is also possible to generate only the disappearing navigation sound without generating any sound.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the sound effects such as sound effects and navigation voices are generated when the start lever SL is pressed or the stop button is pressed is taken as an example. As explained above, when the pressed state of the operated start lever SL is released, or when the pressed state of the operated stop button is released, sound effects such as sound effects and navigation voices are generated. You may make it

Further, in the above embodiment, when the first, second, or third stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of correct strokes in the game in which the winning assist effect is executed, the sound effect generates a disappearing navigation sound as an example. As described above, the disappearing navigation sound generated in each stop operation may be the same sound or may be different sounds. Further, only the disappearing navigation sound generated in some stop operations may be a different sound. Also, the navigation appearing sound and the navigation disappearing sound may be the same sound or different sounds.

In the above embodiment, the peak value of the volume of the navigation sound, the disappearance of the navigation sound, the navigation sound, and the effect sound is set to a value larger than the peak value of the BGM volume. The peak volume values of the sound, the missing navigation sound, the navigation voice, and the effect voice may be smaller than or equal to the peak volume value of the BGM. In addition, the peak value of the volume in the sound data of the navigation appearing sound may be the same value or a different value (smaller or larger) than the peak value of the volume in the sound data of the lost navigation sound, navigation voice, or directing voice. The peak volume value in the sound data of the missing navigation sound is the same value or a different value (smaller or larger value) than the peak volume value in the sound data of the navigation appearing sound, the navigation voice, or the effect voice. Alternatively, the peak value of the volume in the sound data of the navigation voice is the same value or a different value (smaller or larger) than the peak value of the volume in the sound data of the navigation appearing sound, the navigation disappearing sound, or the effect sound. , the peak value of the volume in the sound data of the production voice is the same value or a different value (smaller or larger value).

In addition, the volume of the sound data of the navigation sound may be the same value or a different value (smaller or larger value) as the volume of the navigation disappearing sound, the navigation voice, or the volume of the effect sound, or the sound data of the navigation disappearing sound may be the same value or a different value (smaller or larger value) as the volume of the sound data of the navigation sound, navigation voice, or directing voice, and the volume of the navigation voice sound data may be It may be the same value or a different value (smaller or larger value) as the volume of the sound data of the appearing sound, the lost navigation sound, or the sound data of the effect sound, and the volume of the sound data of the effect sound It may be the same value or a different value (a smaller value or a larger value) than the volume of the sound data of the missing sound or the navigation voice.

Further, in the above embodiment, the navigation voice was to inform the pressing order (correct hitting order), but the navigation voice may be to inform the timing of pressing or the symbol to be aimed, and the color indicating the color of the symbol A navigation voice or a pattern navigation voice indicating a pattern may be used. For example, by preparing a specific winning mode in which a specific winning combination in which the symbol combination of "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (a specific symbol combination) can be displayed on an active line or an invalid line is won, an internal lottery is conducted to select a specific winning mode. In the case of winning, if the stop operation is performed in the pressing order (the batting order 5, 6) to stop the third reel R3 first, the symbol combination of "red 7, red 7, red 7" (specific symbol combination) is effective. When the spinning reels are stopped so that they can be displayed on the line or the invalid line, and the stop operation is performed in the batting order 1 to 4, the symbol combination of "red 7, red 7, red 7" (specific symbol combination) is obtained. Rotating reels are stopped so as not to be displayed, and the number of games in AT state is added when a specific winning mode is won in AT state. In this case, in the winning assist effect, as shown in FIG. 28(A), in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, the third reel R3 is stopped in the first pressing order (hit order 5, 6). It is notified that the operation is performed and that the stop operation is performed at the timing of displaying the red 7 symbol "red 7" (aiming at the red 7 symbol "red 7"), and in the sound effect, the game start operation to the start lever SL , the navigation sound and the navigation voice "Aim for 7" may be generated. Also in this example, the control method of the above embodiment can be applied. In the case of executing a sound presentation for generating a voice or the like, the sound data of the navigation appearance sound and the sound data of the navigation voice of "Aim for 7" may be reproduced at the same time. By doing so, it is possible to make it easier to hear the navigation voice of "Aim for 7".

In the above-described embodiment, the case in which a 15-symbol win is won in the correct hitting order when the batting order bell is won has been described as an example. When a winning combination is won and a stop operation is performed at a pressing timing different from the specific pressing timing, the spinning reels may be stopped so that the 15-piece small winning combination is not won. For example, when the hitting order bell is won, in the correct hitting order, if the first stop operation is performed at a specific pressing timing, 15 small wins are won, and the first stopping operation is performed at a specific pressing timing. When the stop operation is performed at different pressing timings, the spinning reels may be stopped so that the 15-piece small winning combination is not won. In this case, in the winning assist effect, as shown in FIG. 28(B), in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, it is the pressing timing of the first stop operation, for example, red 7 symbol "red 7". , which indicates aiming at ", the effect image including the red 7 navigation pattern display (navigation pattern image, navigation pattern display) IMG8, the second navigation number display IMG2, and the third navigation number display IMG3 on the liquid crystal display LCD By displaying, the correct hitting order and the pressing timing of the first stop operation are notified, and in the sound production, in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL, the navigation sound and the navigation voice of "red" or "red 7" are displayed. (color navigation voice indicating the color of the pattern or pattern navigation voice indicating the pattern) may be generated. And in this example also, the control method of the above embodiment can be applied. In the case of executing a sound effect for generating the navigation voice of "red 7", etc., the sound data of the navigation sound and the sound data of the navigation voice of "red" or "red 7" may be reproduced at the same time. . In this example, silence data may be provided at the beginning of the sound data of the navigation sound. In this way, the navigation voice of "red" or "red 7", which is useful information for the player, can be generated prior to the navigation appearance sound. Further, in this example, instead of the navigation voice of "red" or "red 7", the navigation voice of "naka" may be generated.

Further, for example, when the hitting order bell is won, in the correct hitting order, if the third stop operation is performed at a specific pressing timing, 15 small wins are won, and the third stopping operation is performed at a specific pressing timing. If a stop operation is performed at a different pressing timing, the rotating reels may be stopped so that the 15-piece small win is not won. In this case, in the winning assistance effect, as shown in FIG. 28(C), the first navigation numeral display object IMG1, the second navigation numeral display object IMG2, and the third navigation numeral display object IMG2 are displayed in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL. At the timing of pressing the stop operation, for example, an effect image including a red 7 navigation symbol display (navigation symbol image, navigation symbol display) IMG8 indicating aiming at the red 7 symbol "red 7" is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. The correct hitting order and the pressing timing of the third stop operation are notified by displaying, and in the sound production, when the second stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct hitting order, the disappearing navigation sound and "red" or "red 7" are played. (color navigation voice indicating the color of the pattern or pattern navigation voice indicating the pattern) may be generated. And in this example also, the control method of the above embodiment can be applied. In the case of executing a sound effect for generating the navigation voice of "red 7", etc., the sound data of the lost navigation sound and the sound data of the navigation voice of "red" or "red 7" may be played back at the same time. . In this example, silence data may be provided at the beginning of the sound data of the lost navigation sound. In this way, the navigation voice of "red" or "red 7", which is useful information for the player, can be generated before the lost navigation sound. Further, in this example, instead of the navigation voice of "red" or "red 7", the navigation voice of "migi" may be generated.
