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 ordinary lottery random number remains in the ordinary reservation storage area 2 to the ordinary reservation storage area 3, it is moved to the ordinary reservation storage area 1 to the ordinary reservation storage area 2.

In this way, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, the ordinary lottery random numbers for which the ordinary lottery has been conducted are reserved up to one in the ordinary reserved storage area, and the ordinary lottery random numbers for which the ordinary lottery has not been conducted are ordinary reserved memory. 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. More specifically, in the normal lottery table A, the correspondence relationship between the normal win or loss and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the normal win 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

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 a jackpot in a special lottery in the normal state, variable probability state, special state, and time saving state, and a special number of rounds (execution number) 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. Most of the game balls falling in the right game area 4 enter the second start winning opening 53 .

And in the variable state, the probability of winning the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50 for the special lottery, and the variation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds. The game state is such that it is more advantageous for the player to hit 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 prize for the special lottery is set to about 1/3. 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.

And in the special state, for the special lottery, the probability of winning the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds, as in the variable probability state. Further, the winning probability of the small win is set to be extremely high, about 1/2, and the small win game is frequently executed, so the game ball passes through the right passage 52 without entering the second start prize winning port 53. can easily enter the second prize winning opening 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.

And for the special lottery, although the probability of winning the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, the variation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 to 2 seconds, so the time saving state is the second. The game state is such that it is more advantageous for the player to hit to the right so that the game ball enters the 2-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 1/3, 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. When the special game state started based on ends, the game state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 80) corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each normal symbol into the specified number counter 2930 . Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the time saving 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 Reaching a threshold (eg, 0) terminates the time saving state and initiates the normal state.

In FIG. 13 (A), each of the 16 round probability variation pattern A to 16 round probability variation pattern E and the 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B that can be won in the special lottery for the first special random number is in the normal state, It is a diagram showing a prescribed number of times determination table A for determining the prescribed number of times after the end of the special game state when winning in each of the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state.

As shown in FIG. 13 (A), in the specified number of times determination table A, for the 16 round probability variation pattern A, even if it is elected in any of the normal state, probability variation state, special state and time saving state, the specified number of times 80 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern E, even if it is elected in any of the normal state, probability variation state, special state and time saving state, it will be shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state, so the specified number of times is not determined. .

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern A, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 80 times. .

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern B, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times. .

FIG. 13(B) shows 16 round probability variation pattern E to 16 round probability variation pattern K, 2 round probability variation pattern, 16 round normal pattern A to 16 round normal pattern B, 2 that can be won in the special lottery for the second special random number. It is a diagram showing a prescribed number of times determination table B for determining the prescribed number of times after the end of the special game state when each of the round normal symbols wins in each of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state. .

As shown in FIG. 13 (B), in the specified number of times determination table B, for the 16 round probability variation pattern F, when winning in the normal state, probability variation state or time saving state, the probability variation state after the end of the special game state When the stipulated number of times is determined to be 100 times and winning in the special state, the stipulated number of times of the probability variable state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern G, if you win in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if you win in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined to be 80 times, and when winning in the special state, the specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern H, when winning in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation state after the end of the special game state is determined to 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state, special state or time saving state , the specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern I, if you win in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if you win in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The stipulated number of times in the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined to be 40 times, but when winning in the special state, the stipulated number of times is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Also, for the 16-round probability variation pattern J, when winning in the normal state, the prescribed number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The specified number of times of the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined as 20 times, but when winning in the special state, the specified number of times is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern K, if you win in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special game state is determined to be 100 times, and if you win in the probability variation state or time saving state, special The stipulated number of times in the variable probability state after the end of the game state is determined to be once, but when winning in the special state, the stipulated number of times is not determined because the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state.

Also, for the 16 round probability variation pattern E, even if it is elected in any of the normal state, probability variation state, special state and time saving state, it will be shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state, so the specified number of times is not determined. .

As for the 2-round probability variable pattern, the specified number of times of the probability variable state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the game is won in any of the normal state, the probability variable state, the special state and the time saving state.

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern A, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 80 times. .

In addition, for the 16-round normal pattern B, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the variable probability state, the special state and the time saving state, the specified number of times of the time saving state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times. .

And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the game state is shifted between the normal state, the probability variable state, the special state, and the time saving state while going through the special game state. Since the normal state, which is the initial state, is a game 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, but a big win 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 a 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 that the normal role 55 is controlled to the open state is lower than the variable probability state and the time saving state, and the period in which the normal role 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 special game state is finished. 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.

The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 2 and the like.

A special game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that one 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 is won in the special lottery, and special game execution means. 260 sets a value (e.g., 16) corresponding to 16 times, which is a predetermined number of rounds for 16 round probability variable symbols and 16 round normal symbols, as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290. Every time the first special accessory 51 completes the operation in a predetermined mode in the special game, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is updated by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round. conduct. When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 16), the special game state ends.

Specifically, in the special game execution process 1, the opening timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened in the special game of each round from the 1st round to the 16th round. Alternatively, when the first big winning hole sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, the value of the big winning number counter 2936 to which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added is the upper limit value. When reaching (for example, 10), drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied.

The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the fact that the 2 round probability variation pattern or the 2 round normal pattern is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 sets the 2 round probability variation pattern and 2 rounds as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value (e.g., 2) corresponding to two times, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the normal symbol, and each time the first special accessory 51 completes the action in a predetermined manner in the special game of each round. Then, incremental update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round to the value stored in the round counter 2933 . When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 2), the special game state ends.

Specifically, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each round from the first round to the second round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the first special accessory 51 is opened, or When the value of the prize number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit (for example, 10), drive control of the first special accessory drive device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied.

The small winning game execution means 262 is a means for executing a small winning game based on the winning of a small winning in the special lottery, and performs small winning game execution processing 1 to small winning game execution processing 2 and the like.

The small winning game execution processing 1 is executed based on the winning of the small winning symbol A in the special lottery. Drive control of the second special accessory drive device 126 is performed so that the operation of closing the second special accessory 58 is performed only once when 0.8 seconds have elapsed since the second special accessory 58 was opened. conduct.

Then, when the second big winning hole sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the big winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 58 completes the operation by the small winning game execution process 1 or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the end condition of the small winning game of one round is satisfied. , to end the small winning game.

The small winning game execution processing 2 is executed based on the winning of the small winning symbol B in the special lottery. Drive control of the second special accessory driving device 126 so that the operation of closing the second special accessory 58 is repeated 14 times when 0.8 seconds have passed since the second special accessory 58 was opened. I do.

Then, when the second big winning hole sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added to the value of the big winning number counter 2936, and the second special When the accessory 58 completes the operation by the small winning game execution process 2 or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the end condition of the small winning game of one round is satisfied. , to end the small winning game.

In each of the late stage performance pattern lottery tables, for each of the 100 late stage performance pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99, there are multiple types of non-reach performance patterns (non-win mode) and multiple types of late stage performance patterns as multiple types of late stage performance patterns. Any one of the reach effect patterns (common mode) is associated. Then, when the result of the second half variation pattern determination processing is the non-reach variation pattern 1, the performance control means 300 selects the second half performance pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second half variation pattern determination processing is the reach variation pattern 1. In this case, the second half performance pattern lottery table D is selected, and the second half performance pattern lottery table corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined in the second half variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the performance control means 300 refers to the selected second half performance pattern lottery table, and determines whether one second half performance pattern determination random number value is associated with a plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns or a plurality of types of ready-to-win performance patterns. One no reach performance pattern or one ready reach performance pattern is determined from a plurality of types of no reach performance patterns and a plurality of types of reach performance patterns.

Here, a performance time is set for each of the plurality of types of first half performance patterns, and the performance time of the first half performance pattern that can be determined by the first performance pattern lottery table A is all the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1. The performance time of the first half performance pattern that is set to the same three seconds and can be determined by the first performance pattern lottery table B is set to five seconds, which is the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern 2, and so on. The performance time of the first half performance pattern which can be determined by the first performance pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first performance pattern lottery table.

In addition, a performance time is set for each of the plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns and the plurality of types of reach performance patterns, and the performance time of the plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns that can be determined by the second half performance pattern lottery table A is All of them are set to 1 second, which is the same as the variation time of the non-reach variation pattern 1, and the performance time of a plurality of types of ready-to-win performance patterns that can be determined by the second half performance pattern lottery table E are all the variation times of the reach variation pattern 1. The performance time of a plurality of types of non-reach performance patterns or a plurality of types of ready-to-win performance patterns set to the same 20 seconds, which can be determined by each latter half performance pattern lottery table, corresponds to each second half performance pattern lottery table. It is set to be the same as the fluctuation time of the no-reach fluctuation pattern or the reach fluctuation pattern.

In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. Execution is started, and the total performance time corresponding to the first half performance pattern determined in the first performance pattern determination processing and the performance time corresponding to the second half performance pattern determined in the second half performance pattern determination processing is a special performance time. Execute the lottery production. Thereby, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80 is synchronized with the effect time of the special lottery effect.

For example, when the jackpot determination process results in a loss, and when the non-reach performance pattern is determined in the second half performance pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the second special symbol display part in the first special symbol display part 76 Along with the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in 80, as shown in FIG. ), first, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed so as to shake slightly without being completely stopped in one of the modes (the mode showing "5" in FIG. 14(C)), and then, As shown in FIG. 14(D), the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a different mode (non-reach mode) from the left effect symbol 350 .

Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80 is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. Temporary stop display is performed in a mode different from the left performance symbol 350 and the right performance symbol 354 (distribution loss mode), and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display part 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display part 80 is stopped. Almost at the same timing as when it is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14(F), the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are completely stopped in different modes (detachment loss mode). 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 half effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol display unit With the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display section 80, as shown in FIG. The variable display of the symbol 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 15(B), first the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 15(C), the middle effect symbol 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 moving image 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 of main character A being defeated by 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.

Thus, in this embodiment, the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the production pattern corresponding to the variation type of the first special pattern or the second special pattern 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 which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 the first special random number value is stored, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16(B), a second reserved image 422 indicating which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 the second special random number value is stored can be displayed. It's becoming

Specifically, the effect control means 300, when the second special random number is not stored 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 , 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 store the first When one special random number is 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 storage area 1 to When the second special random value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4, the first special random values reserved in the first special reserved storage areas 1 to 4 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 . In the example of FIG. 16A, the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first 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 When the second special random number is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the second special reserved memory area 1 and the second special reserved memory area 2 are displayed respectively. When the random value is 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 1 to the second When the second special random number is stored in any of the special reserved storage areas 4, the number of second special random numbers reserved in the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 4 , the second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 . 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 that is 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 to display the result of the special lottery this time, 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. While the image 420 is moved to the reserved display area 430, 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 reserved display areas after the second reserved display area 412. 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, as the look-ahead effect, for example, the color and shape of 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 for which execution of the look-ahead effect has been determined change, display an effect image around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image different from the normal background image. or 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 F shown in FIG. Each of the determined random values is associated with one of groups 0 to 7 excluding groups 4 and 5, and each of the eight variation group determined 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.

Further, when execution of the prefetch effect is determined by the prefetch effect lottery for the second special random value, 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. In the present embodiment, various techniques described below as the first to fifth embodiments and various techniques described as modified examples of the first to fifth embodiments are used to realize the present invention. As a control method, they can be used in combination as appropriate.

3-1. First Embodiment FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the gaming machine of the first embodiment. 17 (A ), after the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are variably displayed at high speed, in the middle stage of the fluctuation time, as shown in FIG. is temporarily stopped in a manner indicating, for example, "6", and as shown in FIG. 2, the middle effect pattern 352 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode indicating, for example, "4", and as shown in FIG. , the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 may be restarted at high speed.

Then, in such a case, as shown in FIG. 17(F), the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode indicating, for example, "3", and as shown in FIG. 17(G), the right effect symbol is displayed. 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode indicating, for example, "8", and as shown in FIG. A symbol 350, a medium effect symbol 352 and a right effect symbol 354 are fixed and stopped, and the result of the first special lottery is announced.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17(B), the setting value storage means 2905 is stored in the set value storage means 2905 according to the number indicated by the left effect symbol 350 in the state where the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the middle of the variable time. A first setting suggestion effect is performed to suggest which setting value is stored or whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 has been changed.

Specifically, in the first embodiment, every time a game ball enters the first start winning port 46 or the second starting winning port 53 after the power is turned on, the value stored in the game number counter 3114 of the sub-memory 310 is set to 1. Incremental update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games played, and the first time in response to the game ball entering the first start winning hole 46 after the power is turned on. When the preliminary determination process is performed, a first setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the first setting suggestion effect is performed.

Here, in the first embodiment, as the first setting suggestion effect, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the middle of the variable time, that is, the above-described high-speed variable display is resumed. There are prepared a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns in which the modes of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 which are temporarily stopped and displayed before starting are different.

Specifically, as plural types of temporary stop patterns, a temporary stop pattern of "left 3" which is temporarily stopped and displayed with the left effect symbol 350 indicating "3" and a left effect symbol 350 indicating "4". A temporary stop pattern of "left 4" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode, a temporary stop pattern of "left 5" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode in which the left effect pattern 350 indicates "5", and a left effect pattern 350 is " A temporary stop pattern of "left 6" temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode indicating "6", a temporary stop pattern of "left 7" temporarily displayed in a mode in which the left effect symbol 350 indicates "7", and a left effect. A temporary stop pattern of "left 8" in which the pattern 350 indicates "8" is temporarily stopped, and a temporary stop pattern of "left 9" is displayed in a state in which the left effect pattern 350 indicates "9". are provided.

Each type of temporary stop pattern further includes a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns in which the mode of the left effect symbol 350 is the same, but the mode of the middle effect symbol 352 or the right effect symbol 354 is different. For example, in the temporary stop pattern of "left 3", the left effect pattern 350 indicates "3", the middle effect pattern 352 indicates "5", and the right effect pattern 354 indicates "2". In addition to the temporary stop pattern, the left effect pattern 350 indicates "3", the middle effect pattern 352 indicates "6", and the right effect pattern 354 indicates "1". Including stop patterns.

In the first embodiment, the effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores the first setting suggestion effect lottery table group A shown in FIG. A first setting suggestion effect lottery table group B shown in (B) is stored, and the setting change flag of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table group A is set to an ON state by changing the setting value. , and the first setting suggestion effect lottery table group B is referred to when the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed.

Then, in the first setting suggestion effect lottery table group A, the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 referred to when the setting value is setting 1, the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 to be referred to when the setting value is setting 6 Six types of first setting suggestion performance lottery tables A up to setting suggestion performance lottery table A6 are included, and the first setting suggestion performance lottery table B group includes the first setting suggestion performance lottery table B referred to when the set value is setting 1. Six kinds of first setting suggestion performance lottery tables B from 1 setting suggestion performance lottery table B1 to first setting suggestion performance lottery table B6 referred to when the set value is set 6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of first setting suggestion effect lottery table B, "no effect" in which the first setting suggestion effect is not performed, "left 3" to "left 9” is associated with one of the random number values 0 to 99 for determining the first setting suggestion effect. In addition, when "no effect" is selected, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery, the left effect pattern is displayed in the middle of the fluctuation time as shown in FIGS. 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are not temporarily stopped and displayed, and the left effect pattern 350 and the middle effect pattern 352 are displayed at the end of the fluctuation time as shown in FIGS. And the right effect pattern 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed.

For example, in the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the set value is setting 1, 90 first setting suggestion effect decision random numbers are displayed so that the selection rate is 90% for "no effect". Numerical values are associated with each of the temporary stop patterns ``left 3'' to ``left 7''. The temporary stop pattern "left 8" is associated with four first setting suggestion effect decision random numbers so that the selection rate is 4%, and the temporary stop pattern "left 9" has a selection rate of 6. 6 first setting suggestion effect decision random number values are associated so as to be %.

Then, in each of the six types of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table B, for "no effect", the larger the set value, the lower the selection rate. , “no effect” is associated with the first setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the first setting suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that a large value is set as the set value, and the player's expectation for the future game. can be effectively enhanced.

Further, in each of the six types of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table B, for example, for the temporary stop pattern of "left 3", the set value is set 1 to set 2. is not selected, and is selected when the setting value is setting 3 to setting 6. However, when the setting value is setting 3, the selection rate is the highest. A stop pattern is associated with a first setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the first setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "left 3", it is confirmed that the setting value is set to 3 or more, and there is a possibility that setting 3 is set. The highest can be suggested.

Further, in the six types of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table A, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern of "left 9" is higher than that of the temporary stop pattern of "left 8" regardless of the set value. , 6 types of the first setting suggestion effect lottery table B, regardless of the setting value, the temporary stop pattern of "left 8" has a higher selection rate than the temporary stop pattern of "left 9". , the temporary stop pattern of "left 8" and the temporary stop pattern of "left 9" are associated with the first setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the first setting suggestion effect is executed with the temporary stop pattern of "left 9", there is a high possibility that the setting value has been changed, and the first setting suggestion effect is the temporary stop pattern of "left 8". is executed, it can be suggested that the setting value is likely not changed.

Thus, in the first embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the game machine is turned on, that is, the first morning after the store opens, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are displayed. When the variable display at high speed is resumed without the fixed stop display, it is stored in the set value storage means 2905 by the number indicated by the left effect pattern 350 temporarily stopped and displayed before the variable display at high speed is resumed. A first setting suggestion effect may be performed to suggest which set value is set or whether or not the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 has been changed.

In the first embodiment, as described above, with respect to the first special random number, the small winning symbol A is won or lost, the game state is the normal state, and the reserved number of the first special random number is 0 to If there is one piece, the variation time is often set to 5 seconds to 10 seconds, so the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the power of the gaming machine is turned on is the effect time. Since it is often set to 5 seconds to 10 seconds, it is possible to sufficiently secure the time for performing the first setting suggestion effect, and the first special lottery after the power of the game machine is turned on. It is possible to effectively use the performance time of the special lottery performance for to enhance the performance effect.

In the above-described first embodiment, an example was given in which the first setting suggestion effect is performed by the number indicated by the left effect symbol 350 temporarily stopped and displayed before the high-speed variable display is resumed. The first setting suggesting effect is performed by the sum of the numbers respectively indicated by the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 temporarily stopped and displayed before the high-speed variable display is resumed. may

In this case, instead of the "left 3" temporary stop pattern, for example, the left effect symbol 350 indicates "1", the middle effect symbol 352 indicates "0", and the right effect symbol 354 indicates "2". A temporary stop pattern in which the sum of the numbers indicated by the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352, and the right effect pattern 354 is "3", such as the temporary stop pattern that is temporarily stopped and displayed in the manner shown, is a lottery target, Instead of the "left 4" temporary stop pattern, for example, the left production pattern 350 indicates "2", the middle production pattern 352 indicates "1", and the right production pattern 354 indicates "1". Like the temporary stop pattern to be displayed, the left production pattern such as the temporary stop pattern in which the sum of the numbers indicated by the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 is "4". 350, middle effect pattern 352, and right effect pattern 354, and a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns having different sums of numbers indicated by each may be set as lottery targets.

In addition, depending on whether the number indicated by each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 temporarily stopped before the high-speed variable display is resumed, there are many odd numbers or many even numbers. A 1-setting suggestion effect may be performed.

In this case, the left effect symbol 350 indicates "1", the middle effect symbol 352 indicates "5", and the right effect symbol 354 indicates "3". , an odd temporary stop pattern in which the numbers indicated by the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 are odd numbers, and the left production pattern 350 shows "6", and the middle production pattern 352 shows "4". , and the numbers indicated by the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352, and the right production pattern 354 are even numbers, like the temporary stop pattern that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner in which the right production pattern 354 indicates "8". Temporary stop patterns are prepared, and when the set value is an odd number, the odd-numbered temporary stop pattern has a higher selection rate than the even-numbered temporary stop pattern, and when the set value is an even number, the even-numbered temporary stop pattern is better. The selection rate should be higher than that of the odd-numbered temporary stop pattern.

In addition, as the left effect symbols 350 temporarily stopped and displayed before the high-speed variable display is resumed, for example, a special effect symbol indicated as "excellent", a special effect symbol indicated as "good", and a " A special effect symbol indicated as "possible" is prepared, and as the left effect symbol 350 temporarily stopped and displayed before the high speed variable display is resumed, depending on which special effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed, the second A 1-setting suggestion effect may be performed.

In this case, for example, when the setting value is setting 1 or setting 2, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "possible" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 is the highest. High, when the set value is set 3 or set 4, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "good" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 is the highest, and the set value is In the case of setting 5 or setting 6, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "excellent" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 should be made the highest.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 and the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 are changed. However, regardless of whether or not the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 is changed, the set value stored in the set value storage unit 2905 Accordingly, the temporary stop pattern of the first setting suggestion effect may be determined, or the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 regardless of the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905. The temporary stop pattern of the first setting suggestion effect may be determined depending on whether or not is changed.

That is, the mode of temporarily stopping and displaying at least one of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 is the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 and the setting value storage means 2905. Depending on at least one of whether or not the stored set value has been changed, the temporary stop display is performed in a predetermined mode common to the normal mode or in a specific mode different from the normal mode. good too. Here, the production pattern of a specific mode different from the normal time may be a production pattern that can be displayed only as the first setting suggestive effect, or not only as the first setting suggestive effect, but also in a special effect section. It may be a production pattern that can be displayed when a predetermined condition such as a certain case is satisfied.

In addition to the three types of special performance symbols indicated as "excellent", "good", and "acceptable" as described above, the set value storage means 2905 or a set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 is changed. You may prepare a production pattern.

In addition, when the result of the first preliminary determination process after the power is turned on is that the small winning pattern A is won or lost, the first setting suggesting effect lottery is performed, but if the big winning is won. , the first setting suggestion effect lottery may not be performed, or the first setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed regardless of the result of the first preliminary determination process after the power is turned on. .

In addition, when the result of the preliminary determination processing for the first time after the power is turned on is winning or losing the small winning pattern A, the special lottery performance for the first special lottery is performed in the left performance pattern 350 and the middle performance. A first setting suggesting effect is performed by the numbers indicated by the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 which are temporarily stopped and displayed immediately before the pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed. good too.

In addition, after the power is turned on, until the value of the number-of-games counter 3114 reaches, for example, 10, the first setting suggestion effect lottery is performed each time the result of the preliminary determination process is a failure, so that the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the special lottery performance for each special lottery up to, for example, the 10th time after being put in, the left performance pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed immediately before the left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352 and the right performance pattern 354 are fixed and stopped. 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the number indicated by the right production pattern 354, the first setting suggestion production may be performed.

In addition to or instead of performing the first setting suggestion effect lottery when the preliminary determination process is performed, the first setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed when the special lottery is performed.

That is, the set values stored in the set value storage means 2905 and the settings stored in the set value storage means 2905 are stored until the pre-determination process or the special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times including once after the power is turned on. Depending on at least one of whether or not the value has been changed, there may be cases where the mode of the effect symbol to be temporarily stopped is determined.

In addition, when a variation pattern with a relatively long variation time such as a reach variation pattern is determined from the time the power is turned on until the pre-determination process or the special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times including once, the first setting A suggestive effect may be performed in some cases.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, as the first setting suggestion effect, an example of temporarily stopping and displaying the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 in the middle of the variable time has been described. At the beginning of the variable time, which is before the execution of the development performance that raises the expectation for winning, or at the end of the variable time, which is after the notification of failure in the development performance, the left performance is performed as the first set suggestion performance. The symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 may be temporarily stopped and displayed. In this case, it is possible to prevent confusion between the effect suggesting a big win and the first setting suggesting effect.

3-2. Second Embodiment FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the gaming machine of the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, in the special lottery effect in which the ready-to-win effect pattern is determined as the second half effect pattern for the first time after the gaming machine is turned on, as shown in FIG. In this state, both the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 may be temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-win mode indicating, for example, "6".

Then, in such a case, as shown in FIG. 19B, the reproduction display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined ready-to-win effect pattern is started, and the shrinking effect pattern 362 remains displayed in a variable manner. Both of the reduced left performance symbol 360 and the reduced right performance symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-win mode indicating, for example, "6", and if the jackpot has not been won, as shown in FIG. 19(C), A production animation in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B is played back, and a reduced production pattern 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach-losing manner different from the reduced left production pattern 360 and the reduced right production pattern 364, as shown in FIG. 19(D). As shown in FIG. 19(E), after the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach-losing mode, as shown in FIG. By displaying the right performance symbol 354 in a ready-to-lose state, the player is definitely notified of the loss.

And in the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19(A) to 19(B), the numbers indicated by the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect pattern 354 temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode, or the numbers indicated by the right effect pattern 354 in the reach mode Depending on the number indicated by the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364 which are stopped and displayed, the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 is either or the setting stored in the set value storage means 2905. A second setting suggestion effect is performed to suggest whether or not the value has been changed.

Specifically, in the second embodiment, when the ready-to-win effect pattern is determined as the second half effect pattern for the first time after the power is turned on, a second setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the second setting suggestion effect is performed. will be Here, in the second embodiment, as the second setting suggestion effect, a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns with different modes of the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the ready-to-win mode are prepared.

Specifically, as a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns, a temporary stop pattern of "3 reach" in which the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner indicating "3", the left effect symbol 350 and the A temporary stop pattern of "4 reach" in which the right production pattern 354 indicates "4" is temporarily stopped, and a temporary stop pattern in which the left production pattern 350 and the right production pattern 354 indicate "5". A temporary stop pattern of "5 reach", a temporary stop pattern of "4 reach" in which the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect pattern 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner indicating "6", the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect pattern 354. Temporary stop pattern of "7 ready-to-reach" in which is temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner that indicates "7", and "8 ready-to-reach" that is temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner in which left production pattern 350 and right production pattern 354 show "8". A temporary stop pattern and a temporary stop pattern of "0 reach" in which the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 indicate "0" are temporarily stopped and displayed.

In the second embodiment, as effect lottery tables to be referred to in the second setting suggesting effect lottery, the effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores the second setting suggesting effect lottery table group A shown in FIG. Second setting suggestion effect lottery table group B shown in (B), second setting suggestion effect lottery table group C shown in FIG. 20(C), and second setting suggestion effect lottery table group D shown in FIG. 20(D) is stored, and the second setting suggestion effect lottery table group A is a case where the setting change flag is set to the ON state by changing the setting value, and the preliminary determination result is a jackpot. It is referred to when the probability variable pattern is determined or when it is lost, and in the second setting suggestion effect lottery table B group, the setting change flag is set to OFF because the setting value is not changed. In the case, the pre-determination result is that the jackpot is won and one of the probability variation patterns is determined, or if it is lost, the second setting suggestion effect lottery table group C is referred to, and the setting value is changed. When the setting change flag is set to the ON state by being set, and when the result of prior determination is that the jackpot is won and one of the normal symbols is determined, the second setting suggestion effect is referred to. In the lottery table group D, when the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed, and when the pre-judgment result is that the jackpot is won and one of the normal symbols is determined. is referred to.

Then, in the second setting suggestion effect lottery table group A, from the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the setting value is setting 1, to the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the setting value is setting 6 Six types of second setting suggestion performance lottery tables A up to setting suggestion performance lottery table A6 are included, and the second setting suggestion performance lottery table B group includes the second setting suggestion performance lottery table B referred to when the set value is setting 1. Six kinds of second setting suggestion performance lottery tables B from 2 setting suggestion performance lottery table B1 to second setting suggestion performance lottery table B6 referred to when the set value is set 6 are included. The setting suggestion effect lottery table C group includes a second setting suggestion effect lottery table C1 referred to when the set value is set 1, and a second setting suggestion effect lottery to be referred to when the set value is set 6. Six types of second setting suggestion performance lottery tables C up to a table C6 are included, and a second setting suggestion performance lottery table group D includes a second setting suggestion performance referred to when the set value is set 1. Six types of second setting suggestion performance lottery tables D from a lottery table D1 to a second setting suggestion performance lottery table D6 referred to when the set value is set 6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables A and the six types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, "no effect" in which the second setting suggestion effect is not performed, and "3 reach" to "8". Any one of the second setting suggestion effect determination random numbers from 0 to 99 is associated with each of the temporary stop patterns of "reach" and "zero reach".

On the other hand, in each of the 6 types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables C and the 6 types of second setting suggestion effect lottery tables D, "no effect", "4 reach", and "6" in which the second setting suggestion effect is not performed. Each of the temporary stop patterns of "reach", "8 reach" and "0 reach" is associated with one of the second setting suggestion effect determination random numbers of 0-99.

For example, in the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 referred to when the set value is setting 1, 90 second setting suggestion effect decision random numbers are displayed so that the selection rate is 90% for "no effect". Numerical values are associated with each of the temporary stop patterns "3 reach" to "7 reach", and the second setting suggestion effect determination random number value is not associated so that the selection rate is 0%. The temporary stop pattern of "8 reach" is associated with four second setting suggestion effect determination random numbers so that the selection rate is 4%, and the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach" has a selection rate of 6. 6 second setting suggestion effect decision random number values are associated so as to be %.

In each of the 6 types of the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A to the 6 types of the second setting suggestion effect lottery table D, the selection rate for "no effect" decreases as the set value increases. , “no effect” is associated with the second setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the second setting suggestion performance is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that a large value is set as the set value, and the player's expectation for the future game. can be effectively enhanced.

Further, in each of the six types of the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A to the six types of the second setting suggestion effect lottery table D, for example, for the temporary stop pattern of "4 reach", the set value is set 1 to set 3. is not selected, and is selected when the setting value is setting 4 to setting 6, but when the setting value is setting 4, the selection rate is the highest, so that the "4 reach" hypothetical A stop pattern is associated with a second setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the second setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "4 reach", it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the setting value of 4 or more is set. .

Further, in the six types of the second setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of the second setting suggestion effect lottery table C, the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach" is better than "8 reach" regardless of the set value. , the selection rate is higher than the temporary stop pattern of "8 reach " temporary stop pattern has a higher selection rate than the temporary stop pattern "0 reach", the temporary stop pattern of "8 reach" and the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach" and the second setting suggestion effect are determined. Random values are associated. Therefore, when the second setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "0 reach", there is a high possibility that the setting value has been changed, and the second setting suggestion effect is the temporary stop pattern of "8 reach". is executed, it can be suggested that the setting value is likely not changed.

Here, in the second embodiment, when the special lottery wins the jackpot and the probability variation pattern is determined, the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 are fixed in a mode showing the same odd number. When the jackpot is won in the special lottery and the normal pattern is determined, the left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352 and the right performance pattern 354 are all fixed and stopped in a jackpot mode showing the same even number. I'm trying to

Therefore, in the second embodiment, in the case where the prior determination result is that the jackpot is won and one of the probability variable symbols is determined, the second setting suggestion effect lottery table group A or the second setting suggestion effect lottery table B The group is referred to, and the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354, such as the temporary stop pattern of "4 reach" and the temporary stop pattern of "6 reach", are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same even-numbered ready-to-win state. When the temporary stop pattern is selected, the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode showing the same even number, the left production pattern 350 and the middle production are displayed. A pattern 352 and a right performance pattern 354 are both changed to a jackpot mode showing the same odd number and temporarily stopped and displayed, and then a left performance pattern 350, a medium performance pattern 352 and a right performance pattern 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed. there is

For example, if the pre-judgment result is that the jackpot is won and one of the probability variation patterns is determined, and the temporary stop pattern of "6 reach" is determined as the second setting suggestion effect, the figure As shown in 19(A), both the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect pattern 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-win mode indicating "6", and as shown in FIG. 19(B), the determined ready-to-win effect pattern. At the same time, the reduced left effect pattern 360 and the reduced right effect pattern 364 are temporarily displayed in a ready-to-reach mode indicating, for example, "6" while the reduced effect pattern 362 is displayed in a variable manner. Stop is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 19(F), a production animation in which the main character A wins against the enemy character B is reproduced, and all of the reduced left production pattern 360, the reduced middle production pattern 362 and the reduced right production pattern 364 are displayed. Temporary stop display is performed in a jackpot mode indicating "6", and as shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 19(H), the effect image is displayed so as to cover the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354, and when the effect image is no longer displayed, the effect image shown in FIG. As shown in I), the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352, and the right effect pattern 354 are all changed to be temporarily stopped and displayed in a jackpot mode indicating "7", and then, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the player is definitely informed that the probability variable symbol has been determined as a big hit by displaying the fixed stop display in the big win mode indicating "7".

Thus, in the second embodiment, in the special lottery effect by the ready-to-win effect pattern for the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, that is, the first morning after the store opens, the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect which are temporarily stopped and displayed in the ready-to-win state are performed. A second setting indicating which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 or whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 has been changed by the number indicated by the pattern 354 . It is designed so that a suggestive performance may be performed.

In the above-described second embodiment, when the ready-to-win effect pattern is determined as the second half effect pattern for the first time after the power is turned on, the power of the gaming machine is turned on by performing the second setting suggestion effect lottery. In the special lottery effect by the first ready-to-win effect pattern after that, an example in which the second setting suggestion effect may be performed was explained, but the ready-to-win effect pattern was determined as the latter half effect pattern after the power was turned on. The number of times is counted, and until the number of times the ready-to-win performance pattern is determined as the latter half performance pattern reaches, for example, ten times, the second setting suggestion performance lottery is performed each time the ready-to-win performance pattern is determined as the latter half performance pattern. As a result, the second setting suggestion effect may be performed in the special lottery effect by the ready-to-win effect pattern each time up to, for example, the 10th time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on.

In addition, regardless of the number of times the ready-to-win effect pattern is determined as the second half effect pattern, every time the ready-to-win effect pattern is determined as the second half effect pattern, the power of the game machine is turned on by performing the second setting suggesting effect lottery. After that, the second setting suggestion effect may be performed in the special lottery effect by the ready-to-win effect pattern every time. In this case, it is preferable to reduce the frequency with which the second setting suggestion effect is performed.

Further, in the above-described second embodiment, an example in which the second setting suggestion effect is performed by the numbers indicated by the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 temporarily stopped and displayed in the ready-to-win mode has been described. As the left effect pattern 350 and the right effect pattern 354 temporarily stopped and displayed at , for example, a special effect symbol indicated as "excellent", a special effect symbol indicated as "good", and a special effect symbol indicated as "good" A performance pattern is prepared, and a second setting suggestion performance is performed depending on which special performance pattern is temporarily stopped and displayed as a left performance pattern 350 and a right performance pattern 354 which are temporarily stopped and displayed in a ready-to-win mode. good too.

In this case, for example, when the setting value is setting 1 or setting 2, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "possible" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 is the highest. High, when the set value is set 3 or set 4, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "good" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 is the highest, and the set value is In the case of setting 5 or setting 6, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "excellent" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the left effect symbol 350 should be made the highest.

3-3. Third Embodiment FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the gaming machine of the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, in the special lottery production for one special lottery, the pattern fluctuation production from the high-speed fluctuation display of the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354 to the temporary stop display. A pseudo-continuous variation effect (specific effect) in which is repeated multiple times may be executed.

In the third embodiment, in the pseudo-continuous variation performance that is executed for the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, as shown in FIG. is variably displayed at high speed, after the first symbol variation effect is started, as shown in FIG. When the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode indicating, for example, "1", as shown in FIG. A continuation symbol 510 that suggests continuation may be temporarily stopped and displayed in a gold color different from the normal color of the continuation symbol 510 .

Then, while the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are not fixed and stopped, as shown in FIG. 21(E), the left production pattern 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner indicating, for example, "3", and the right production pattern is displayed. When 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner indicating, for example, "8", as shown in FIG. There is In such a case, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are not fixed and stopped, and the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right By resuming the variable display of the performance pattern 354 at high speed, the third pattern variation performance is started.

In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21(C), the color of the continuation symbol 510 temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352 in the first symbol variation effect is stored in the set value storage means 2905. A third setting suggestion effect is performed to suggest which setting value is currently set or whether the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 has been changed.

Specifically, in the third embodiment, when execution of the pseudo-continuous variation effect is determined for the first time after the power is turned on, a third setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the third setting suggestion effect is performed. . Here, in the third embodiment, as the third setting suggesting effect, the mode of the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the first symbol variation effect, and the continuation symbol 510 that is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352. A plurality of types of temporary stop patterns with different colors are prepared.

Specifically, as a plurality of types of temporary stop patterns, a temporary stop pattern of "copper continuation" in which a continuation pattern 510 colored in copper as a medium effect pattern 352 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and a temporary stop pattern in which a continuation pattern 510 colored in copper as a middle effect pattern 352 is displayed. A "silver continuation" temporary stop pattern in which a colored continuation pattern 510 is temporarily stopped and displayed, and a "gold continuation" temporary stop pattern in which a golden colored continuation pattern 510 is temporarily stopped and displayed as a medium effect pattern 352. , a temporary stop pattern of "blue continuation" in which a blue-colored continuation pattern 510 is temporarily stopped and displayed as a middle production pattern 352, and a temporary stop pattern of "blue continuation" in which a red-colored continuation pattern 510 is temporarily stopped and displayed as a middle production pattern 352. A temporary stop pattern of "red continuation" is prepared.

In the third embodiment, as the effect lottery tables referred to in the third setting suggestion effect lottery, the effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores the third setting suggestion effect lottery table group A shown in FIG. A third setting suggestion effect lottery table group B shown in (B) is stored, and the setting change flag of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table group A is set to an ON state by changing the setting value. , and the third setting suggestion effect lottery table group B is referred to when the setting change flag is set to the OFF state because the setting value is not changed.

Then, in the group A of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table, from the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the setting value is setting 1, to the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the setting value is setting 6, Six kinds of third setting suggestion performance lottery tables A up to setting suggestion performance lottery table A6 are included, and the third setting suggestion performance lottery table B group includes the third setting suggestion performance lottery table B which is referred to when the set value is setting 1. Six kinds of third setting suggesting performance lottery tables B are included from a three setting suggesting performance lottery table B1 to a third setting suggesting performance lottery table B6 referred to when the set value is six.

Then, in each of the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table B, the third setting suggestion effect is not performed "no effect", "copper continuation" to "red Each of the temporary stop patterns of "Continue" is associated with any one of the third setting suggestion effect determination random numbers from 0 to 99.

For example, in the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 referred to when the set value is setting 1, 90 third setting suggestion effect decision random numbers are displayed so that the selection rate is 90% for "no effect". Numerical values are associated with each of the temporary stop patterns from "copper continuation" to "gold continuation". The temporary stop pattern of "blue continuation" is associated with four third setting suggestion effect determination random numbers so that the selection rate is 4%, and the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern of "red continuation" is 6%. 6 pieces of third setting suggestion effect determination random number values are associated with each other so as to be %.

Then, in each of the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table B, for "no effect", the larger the set value, the lower the selection rate. , “no effect” and the third setting suggestion effect determination random number value are associated with each other. Therefore, when the third setting suggestion performance is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that a large value is set as the set value, and the player's expectation for the future game. can be effectively enhanced.

Further, in each of the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A and the six types of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table B, for example, for the temporary stop pattern of "copper continuation", the set value is set 1 to set 3. is not selected, and is selected when the setting value is between setting 4 and setting 6, but when the setting value is setting 4, the selection rate is the highest, so that the temporary "copper continuation" A stop pattern is associated with a third setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the third setting suggestion effect is executed in the temporary stop pattern of "copper continuation", it is confirmed that the setting value is set to 4 or more, and there is a possibility that the setting 4 is set. The highest can be suggested.

In addition, in the six kinds of the third setting suggestion effect lottery table A, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern of "red continuation" is higher than that of the temporary stop pattern of "blue continuation" regardless of the set value. , 6 types of third setting suggestive effect lottery tables B, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern of "blue continuation" is higher than that of the temporary stop pattern of "red continuation" regardless of the set value. , the temporary stop pattern of "continuous blue" and the temporary stop pattern of "continuous red" are associated with the third setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the third setting suggestion effect is executed with the temporary stop pattern of "red continuation", there is a high possibility that the setting value has been changed, and the third setting suggestion effect is the temporary stop pattern of "blue continuation". is executed, it can be suggested that the setting value is likely not changed.

In this way, in the third embodiment, the continuous symbols that are temporarily stopped and displayed as the intermediate performance symbols 352 in the first symbol variation performance in the first pseudo-continuous variation performance in the morning after the game machine is turned on, that is, the first time after the opening of the store. A third setting suggesting effect indicating which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 or whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 has been changed by the color of 510. is done.

In the above-described third embodiment, when the execution of the pseudo-continuous variation effect is determined for the first time after the power is turned on, the third setting suggestion effect lottery is performed, so that the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the first pseudo-continuous variation production, the third setting suggestion production may be performed. Until the number of times the execution of the pseudo-continuous variation performance is determined reaches, for example, 10 times, the power supply of the gaming machine is set by performing the third setting suggestion performance lottery each time the execution of the pseudo-continuous variation performance is determined. The third setting suggestive effect may be performed in each pseudo-continuous change effect up to, for example, the tenth time after the is turned on.

In addition, regardless of the number of times the execution of the pseudo-continuous variation performance is determined, the third setting suggestion performance lottery is performed each time the execution of the pseudo-continuous variation performance is determined, so that after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. The third setting suggestion effect may be performed in each pseudo-continuous variation effect. In this case, it is preferable to reduce the frequency with which the third setting suggestion effect is performed.

Further, in the above-described third embodiment, the third setting suggestion effect may be performed in the first symbol variation effect in the first pseudo-continuous change effect after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. As explained above, the third setting suggesting effect may be performed in some symbol variation effect in the pseudo continuous variation effect after the game machine is turned on.

In addition, in the above-described third embodiment, the third setting suggestion effect is performed by the color of the continuation symbol 510 temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352, but the middle effect symbol 352 is temporarily stopped. As the continuation patterns 510 to be displayed, for example, a special effect pattern indicated as "excellent", a special effect pattern indicated as "good", and a special effect pattern indicated as "good" are prepared, and a middle effect pattern is prepared. As 352, the third setting suggestion effect may be performed depending on which special effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed.

In this case, for example, when the setting value is setting 1 or setting 2, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "possible" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352 is the highest. High, when the set value is set 3 or set 4, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "good" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352 is the highest, and the set value is In the case of setting 5 or setting 6, the selection rate of the temporary stop pattern in which the special effect symbol indicated as "excellent" is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle effect symbol 352 should be set to the highest.

3-4. Fourth Embodiment In the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery in response to the game ball entering the first start winning port 46 for the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, The variable display of the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352, and the right production pattern 354 is started, and a deep bass sound effect (specific production sound) is output from the speaker 14 shown in FIG. The hand of the player holding the unit 20 may feel the vibration of the air as wind pressure.

And in the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery, the strength of the wind pressure felt by the sound effect output at the start of the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354. , a fourth setting suggestion effect is performed to suggest which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 .

Specifically, in the fourth embodiment, every time a game ball enters the first start winning port 46 or the second starting winning port 53 after the power is turned on, the value stored in the game number counter 3114 of the sub-memory 310 is set to 1. Incremental update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games played, and the first time in response to the game ball entering the first start winning hole 46 after the power is turned on. When the preliminary determination process is performed, a fourth setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed.

Here, in the fourth embodiment, a plurality of types of sound effects with different strengths of wind pressure felt by the player are prepared as the fourth setting suggestion effect. Specifically, as multiple types of sound effects, a "weak" sound effect that gives a feeling of weak wind pressure and a "strong" sound effect that gives a feeling of strong wind pressure are prepared.

In the fourth embodiment, the fourth setting suggesting effect lottery table group A shown in FIG. there is

Then, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table group A, from the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 to be referred to when the setting value is setting 1, to the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 to be referred to when the setting value is setting 6 Six kinds of fourth setting suggestion performance lottery tables A up to setting suggestion performance lottery table A6 are included.

Then, in each of the six types of fourth setting suggestion effect lottery tables A, 0 Any one of the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random numbers from ˜99 is associated.

For example, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the set value is setting 1, 100 fourth setting suggestion effect decision random numbers are drawn so that the selection rate is 100% for "no effect". Numerical values are associated with each of the "weak" sound effect and the "strong" sound effect, so that the selection rate is 0%, and the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number value is not associated.

Then, in each of the six types of the fourth setting suggesting effect lottery tables A, "no effect" and the fourth setting suggesting effect are determined so that the selection rate of "no effect" decreases as the set value increases. Random values are associated. Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion performance is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that a large value is set as the set value, and the player's expectation for the future game. can be effectively enhanced.

Further, in each of the six types of the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, for example, the "weak" sound effect is not selected when the setting value is setting 1, and the setting value is setting 2 to setting 6. However, the "weak" sound effect and the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number value are associated so that the selection rate is highest when the setting value is setting 6. Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed with a "weak" sound effect, it is confirmed that the setting value is set to 2 or more, and the setting 6 is most likely set. can be suggested.

Thus, in the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the gaming machine is turned on, that is, the first morning after the store opens, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 are displayed. Depending on the strength of the sound effect output at the start of the variable display, a fourth setting suggesting performance may be performed to suggest which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905.例文帳に追加

Note that in the above-described fourth embodiment, an example was given in which the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 is suggested by the fourth setting suggestion effect. may indicate whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 has been changed.

In this case, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed with reference to the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table group B shown in FIG. 23(B). Specifically, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table group B includes a fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the setting change flag is set to the ON state by changing the set value. , and two types of fourth setting suggestion performance lottery tables B, a fourth setting suggestion performance lottery table B2 referred to when a setting change flag is set to an OFF state because a set value is not changed, are included.

Then, in each of the two types of fourth setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, 0 Any one of the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random numbers from ˜99 is associated.

For example, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the set value is changed, 80 fourth setting suggestion effect determination random values are set for "no effect" so that the selection rate is 80%. is associated with the "weak" sound effect, and five random values for determining the fourth setting suggestion effect are associated so that the selection rate is 5%, and the "strong" sound effect is associated with the selection rate 15 fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number values are associated so that is 15%.

Then, in each of the two types of fourth setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, for "no effect", the selection rate is lower when the set value is changed than when the set value is not changed. "No effect" is associated with the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the setting value has been changed.

In addition, in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the set value is changed, the "weak" sound effect is set to "weak" so that the selection rate of the "strong" sound effect is higher than that of the "weak" sound effect. " sound effect and "strong" sound effect are associated with the fourth setting suggestion effect determination random number value, and in the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery table B2 referred to when the set value is not changed, "weak" A "weak" sound effect and a "strong" sound effect are associated with the fourth setting suggestion production decision random value so that the selection rate of the sound effect is higher than that of the "strong" sound effect. . Therefore, when the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed with a "strong" sound effect, it is highly likely that the setting value has been changed, and the fourth setting suggestion effect is executed with a "weak" sound effect. In this case, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the setting value has not been changed.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the game machine is turned on, that is, the first morning after the store opens, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352, and the right effect pattern Depending on the intensity of the sound effect output at the start of the variable display of 354, a fourth setting suggesting effect may be performed to suggest whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 has been changed. may

Further, as in the first to third embodiments described above, the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 and the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 are changed. Therefore, the fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed. That is, depending on at least one of the setting values stored in the setting value storage means 2905 and whether or not the setting values stored in the setting value storage means 2905 have been changed, there are cases where the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed. You can let it be.

Further, in the above-described fourth embodiment, when the first preliminary determination process is performed after the power is turned on, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed, so that the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery, an example in which the fourth setting suggesting effect may be performed has been described, but the pre-determination process is performed until the tenth pre-determination process is performed after the power is turned on. The fourth setting suggesting effect lottery is performed every time the is performed, so that the fourth setting suggesting effect is performed in the special lottery effect for each special lottery up to, for example, the tenth time after the power of the game machine is turned on. You may make it so that there is a case.

In addition to or instead of performing the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery when the preliminary determination process is performed, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed when the special lottery is performed.

That is, the set values stored in the set value storage means 2905 and the settings stored in the set value storage means 2905 are stored until the pre-determination process or the special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times including once after the power is turned on. A fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed depending on at least one of whether the value has been changed.

In addition, when a variation pattern with a relatively long variation time such as a reach variation pattern is determined before the pre-determination process or special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times including once after the power is turned on, the fourth setting A suggestive effect may be performed in some cases.

In addition, regardless of the number of times the preliminary determination process is performed, the fourth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed each time the preliminary determination process is performed, so that the special lottery for each special lottery after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the lottery effect, the fourth setting suggestion effect may be performed. In this case, it is preferable to reduce the frequency with which the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed.

Further, the sound effect output as the fourth setting suggesting effect may be a sound effect that can be output only as the fourth setting suggesting effect, or a predetermined effect is executed not only as the fourth setting suggesting effect. It may be a sound effect that can be output when a predetermined condition is satisfied, such as when For example, in addition to a "weak" sound effect and a "strong" sound effect, prepare a "weak" sound effect that makes you feel even weaker wind pressure than the "weak" sound effect. , a "weak" sound effect is output at the start of the variable display of the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354, but in the special lottery production for the first special lottery after the power is turned on. , When the fourth setting suggestion effect is performed, at the start of the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354, a "strong" sound effect or a "weak" sound effect is output. , When the fourth setting suggestion effect is not performed, a "weak" sound effect may be output at the start of the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354. . Also in the special lottery performance for the special lottery after the first special lottery after the power is turned on, the left performance pattern 350, the middle performance pattern 352 and the right performance are used as predetermined performances different from the fourth setting suggestive performance. A “strong” sound effect or a “weak” sound effect may be output at the start of the variable display of the pattern 354 .

In addition, in the above-described fourth embodiment, as the fourth setting suggestion effect, an example of outputting a sound effect at the start of the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 has been described. At the beginning of the variable time, which is before the development production that raises the expectation for winning, or at the end of the variable time, which is after the notification of failure in the development production, As the fourth setting suggestion production, sound An effect may be output in some cases. In this case, it is possible to prevent confusion between the effect suggesting a big win and the fourth setting suggesting effect.

3-5. Fifth Embodiment FIG. 24 is a front view showing the external configuration of a game board 6 according to a fifth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 24, in the fifth embodiment, the effect unit 36 provided on the game board 6 includes a effect 500 (movable object) imitating the shape of a sword. It is rotatably mounted around a rotation shaft provided inside the upper left part of 36 . The effect 500 is stored above the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 2 and is invisible to the player (first state, initial state). By rotating 45 degrees around the rotation axis, it covers a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 and is formed to operate between an appearance state (second state) in which the player can see the display area. . A driving means such as a motor (not shown) is provided inside the effect unit 36, and the driving means controls the effect 500 to appear or be stored. In the fifth embodiment, when it is decided to execute a special lottery effect with a specific effect pattern, a specific action effect is performed in which the effect 500 operates in a specific manner along with a specific effect image and a specific sound effect. may be executed.

Here, in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery corresponding to the game ball entering the first start winning port 46 for the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on, the left effect is performed. As the variable display of the pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 is started, the effect 500 may operate in a special mode different from the specific action effect described above.

And in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery, the operation of the effect 500 that operates in a special mode at the start of the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354. Depending on the magnitude of , a fifth setting suggestion effect is performed to suggest which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 .

Specifically, in the fifth embodiment, every time a game ball enters the first start prize winning port 46 or the second start prize winning port 53 after the power is turned on, the stored value of the number-of-games counter 3114 of the sub-memory 310 is set to 1. Incremental update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games played, and the first time in response to the game ball entering the first start winning hole 46 after the power is turned on. When the preliminary determination process is performed, a fifth setting suggestion effect lottery for determining the execution mode of the fifth setting suggestion effect is performed.

Here, in the fifth embodiment, as the fifth setting suggestion effect, a plurality of motion patterns with different motion magnitudes of the movable object 500 are prepared. Specifically, as a plurality of types of operation patterns, the movable object 500 rotates 10 degrees around the rotation axis from the stored state, and when the movable object 500 becomes visible to the player, the movable object 500 immediately returns to the stored state. and a "large" operation pattern in which the movable object 500 is immediately returned to the stored state when it becomes visible to the player by rotating the movable object 500 from the stored state by 20 degrees around the rotation axis. there is

In the fifth embodiment, the fifth setting suggesting effect lottery table group A shown in FIG. there is

Then, in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table group A, from the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the setting value is setting 1, to the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the setting value is setting 6 Six kinds of fifth setting suggestion effect lottery tables A up to setting suggestion effect lottery table A6 are included.

In each of the six types of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, 0 Any one of the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random numbers from ˜99 is associated.

For example, in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A1 that is referred to when the set value is setting 1, 100 fifth setting suggestion effect decision random numbers are drawn so that the selection rate is 100% for "no effect". Numerical values are associated, and the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number value is not associated with each of the "small" action pattern and the "large" action pattern so that the selection rate is 0%.

Then, in each of the six types of the fifth setting suggesting effect lottery table A, the selection rate of "no effect" decreases as the set value increases, and the "no effect" and the fifth setting suggesting effect are determined. Random values are associated. Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestion performance is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that a large value is set as the set value, and the player's expectation for the future game. can be effectively enhanced.

Further, in each of the six types of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table A, for example, the "small" operation pattern is not selected when the setting value is setting 1, and is not selected when the setting value is setting 2 to setting 6. However, the "small" operation pattern and the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number value are associated so that the selection rate is highest when the setting value is setting 6. - 特許庁Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestion effect is executed in the "small" operation pattern, it is confirmed that the setting value is set to 2 or more, and the setting 6 is most likely to be set. can be suggested.

Thus, in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the game machine is turned on, that is, the first morning after the store opens, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352, and the right effect pattern 354 are displayed. According to the magnitude of the action of the effect 500 that operates in a special mode at the start of the variable display, a fifth setting suggesting effect that suggests which setting value is stored in the setting value storage means 2905 is performed. There is

In the above-described fifth embodiment, an example was given in which the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 is suggested by the fifth setting suggestion effect. may indicate whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 has been changed.

In this case, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery may be performed with reference to the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table group B shown in FIG. 25(B). Specifically, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table group B includes a fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the setting change flag is set to the ON state by changing the setting value. , two types of fifth setting suggestion performance lottery tables B, a fifth setting suggestion performance lottery table B2 referred to when a setting change flag is set to an OFF state due to no change in set values, are included.

Then, in each of the two types of fifth setting suggestion effect lottery tables B, 0 Any one of the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random numbers from ˜99 is associated.

For example, in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the setting value is changed, 80 fifth setting suggestion effect determination random values are set for "no effect" so that the selection rate is 80%. is associated with the "small" action pattern, five fifth setting suggestion effect decision random number values are associated so that the selection rate is 5%, and the "large" action pattern is associated with the selection rate 15 fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number values are associated so that is 15%.

Then, in each of the two types of the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B, for "no effect", the selection rate is lower when the set value is changed than when the set value is not changed. "No effect" is associated with the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number value. Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the setting value has been changed.

In addition, in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B1 that is referred to when the set value is changed, the "small" operation pattern has a higher selection rate than the "small" operation pattern. " and "Large" operation patterns are associated with the fifth setting suggestion effect determination random number value, and in the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery table B2 referred to when the set value is not changed, "small" The ``small'' action pattern and the ``large'' action pattern are associated with the fifth setting suggestion effect decision random number value so that the action pattern of ``large'' has a higher selection rate than the action pattern of ``large''. . Therefore, when the fifth setting suggestion effect is executed in the "large" action pattern, there is a high possibility that the setting value has been changed, and the fifth setting suggestion effect is executed in the "small" action pattern. In this case, it is possible to suggest that there is a high possibility that the setting value has not been changed.

As described above, in the fifth embodiment, in the special lottery effect for the first special lottery after the gaming machine is turned on, that is, the first morning after the store opens, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352, and the right effect pattern A fifth setting suggesting effect that suggests whether or not the set value stored in the set value storage means 2905 has been changed depending on the magnitude of the action of the effect 500 that operates in a special manner at the start of the variable display of 354. It may be done.

Further, as in the first to third embodiments described above, the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 and the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 2905 are changed. Therefore, the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed. That is, depending on at least one of the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 and whether or not the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 2905 is changed, the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed. You can let it be.

In addition, in the above-described fifth embodiment, when the first advance determination process is performed after the power is turned on, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed, so that the first time after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the special lottery effect for the special lottery, an example in which the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed has been described, but the pre-determination process is performed after the power is turned on until the tenth pre-determination process is performed, for example. The fifth setting suggesting effect lottery is performed each time the game machine is turned on, so that the fifth setting suggesting effect is performed in the special lottery effect of each special lottery up to, for example, the 10th time after the game machine is turned on. It may be so that there is a case.

In addition to or instead of performing the fifth setting suggesting effect lottery when the preliminary determination process is performed, the fifth setting suggesting effect lottery may be performed when the special lottery is performed.

That is, the set values stored in the set value storage means 2905 and the settings stored in the set value storage means 2905 are stored until the pre-determination process or the special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times including once after the power is turned on. The fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed depending on at least one of whether the value has been changed.

In addition, when a variation pattern with a relatively long variation time such as a reach variation pattern is determined before the pre-determination process or special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times including once after the power is turned on, the fifth setting A suggestive effect may be performed in some cases.

In addition, regardless of the number of times the preliminary determination process is performed, the fifth setting suggestion effect lottery is performed each time the preliminary determination process is performed, so that the special lottery for each special lottery after the power of the gaming machine is turned on. In the lottery effect, the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed. In this case, it is preferable to reduce the frequency with which the fifth setting suggestion effect is performed.

In addition, in the above-described fifth embodiment, an example in which the fifth setting suggesting effect is performed depending on the magnitude of the action of the effect 500 that operates in a special manner has been described, but the effect button 26 shown in FIG. (Movable object) is configured to operate between a reference position (initial state) shown in FIG. 1 and a projecting position projecting upward from the reference position, and executes a special lottery effect with a specific effect pattern. When it is determined, a specific action effect in which the effect button 26 operates in a specific mode may be executed along with a specific effect image and a specific sound effect, and a special mode action effect is provided. Depending on the magnitude of the operation of the button 26, the fifth setting suggestion effect may be performed.

Further, the motion of the movable object performed as the fifth setting suggestion effect may be a motion of the movable object that can be performed only as the fifth setting suggestion effect, or not only as the fifth setting suggestion effect, but also as a predetermined effect. It may be an action of a movable object that can be performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied, such as when is executed. For example, even in the special lottery effect for the special lottery after the first special lottery after the power is turned on, the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect are used as predetermined effects different from the fifth setting suggestion effect. At the start of the variable display of the pattern 354, or at a predetermined timing after the start of the variable display of the left production pattern 350, the middle production pattern 352 and the right production pattern 354, the "large" operation pattern or the "small" operation pattern. You may make it so that it may be performed.

In addition, a sensor is provided to detect whether the movable object is in the initial state or not, and when it is detected that the movable object is not in the initial state when it should be in the initial state, a predetermined correction is made. While restoring the movable object to the initial state by causing the movable object to perform the operation of the operation pattern, in the special lottery performance for the first special lottery after the power is turned on, the first special lottery performance is performed even if no trouble occurs. As the 5 setting suggestion effect, the movable object may be caused to perform the motion of the correction motion pattern. In this way, the fifth setting suggesting effect can be performed by using the program for correcting the movable object.

In addition, in the fifth embodiment described above, as the fifth setting suggestion effect, an example of moving the movable object at the start of the variable display of the left effect pattern 350, the middle effect pattern 352 and the right effect pattern 354 was explained. At the beginning of the variable time before the development production that raises the expectation for winning is executed, or at the end of the variable time after the notification of loss in the development production is performed. Animals may be made to move. In this case, it is possible to prevent confusion between the effect suggesting a big win and the fifth setting suggesting effect.
