Description

The present invention relates to a game machine capable of playing games.

In some conventional game machines, an effect display device (display means) displays an image with a large screen split (result image of the second effect result) to notify execution of a pseudo-continuous effect (second effect result), while an effect display device notifies non-execution of a pseudo-continuous effect (first effect result) by displaying an image in which the screen is divided (result image of the first effect result) (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

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

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

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

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

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

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronism with the first special game and the second special game, a variable display of decoration patterns (designs showing numbers etc.) as a plurality of kinds of decoration identification information different from the special symbols is performed. Here, in synchronism with the first special game or the second special game, decorative patterns are variably displayed (for example, vertically scrolled display or updated display) in the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative design display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. It should be noted that the variable display of the special game and the decoration pattern that are executed in synchronization are also collectively referred to simply as the variable display.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 has a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3), and forms a large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning opening door closes the big winning opening and the game ball cannot enter (pass through) the big winning opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is in the ON state, the big winning opening door opens the big winning opening so that the game balls can easily enter the big winning opening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at upper left and right positions of the frame 3 for a game machine. A main lamp 9a is provided above the image display device 5 in the game machine frame 3, and frame lamps 9b are provided to the left and right of the main lamp 9a so as to surround the game area. Furthermore, an attacker lamp 9c is provided at a position near the special variable winning ball device 7 on the game board 2. As shown in FIG.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (a position above the image display device 5 in FIG. 1), a movable body 32 that operates according to the performance is provided. Further, the movable body 32 is provided with a movable body lamp 9d. The movable body lamp 9d, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, and the attacker lamp 9c are collectively referred to as a game effect lamp 9 in some cases. The main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attacker lamp 9c, and the movable body lamp 9d include LEDs.

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

At a predetermined position of the game machine frame 3 below the game area, a hitting ball supply tray (upper tray) is provided for holding (storing) game balls paid out as prize balls or game balls lent from a predetermined ball lending machine so as to be supplied to the hitting ball launching device. In addition to the upper tray, the gaming machine frame 3 may be provided with a payout portion (hit ball supply tray) from which prize balls are paid out when the upper tray is full.

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

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

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

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the pachinko gaming machine 1. FIG. A main substrate 11 housed in a substrate case 201 is mounted on the back surface of the pachinko game machine 1. - 特許庁A setting key 51 and a setting switch 52 are provided on the main substrate 11 . The setting key 51 functions as a lock switch for switching to a setting change state or a setting confirmation state. The setting changeover switch 52 functions as a setting switch for changing set values such as the probability of winning a big hit and the rate of winning balls in the setting change state. The setting key 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 may be attached to the outside of the main board 11 , such as at a predetermined position on the power supply board 17 .

A display monitor 29 is arranged in the center of the back surface of the main board 11 , and a display changeover switch 31 is arranged on the side of the display monitor 29 . The display monitor 29 may be configured using, for example, a 7-segment LED display device. The display monitor 29 and the display changeover switch 31 are arranged in front of the main board 11 when viewing the back side of the game board 2 with the gaming machine frame 3 opened.

The display monitor 29 can display winning information such as consecutive ratios, role ratios, and bases. Consecutive ratio is the ratio of the number of prize balls in the big prize opening (attacker) to the total number of prize balls. The role ratio is the ratio of the total number of prize balls to the number of prize balls awarded to the second starting prize opening (electric chew) and the number of prize balls awarded to the large prize opening (attacker). The base is the ratio of the total number of prize balls to the number of game balls launched. The display monitor 29 can display the setting values in the pachinko game machine 1 when it is in the setting change state or the setting confirmation state. The display monitor 29 only needs to be able to display setting values to be changed or checked when in the setting change state or setting confirmation state.

The setting key 51 and the setting switch 52 cannot be operated from the front side of the pachinko game machine 1 when the game machine frame 3 is closed. A glass door frame 3a having a glass window is rotatably provided in the game machine frame 3, and the game area can be opened and closed by the glass door frame 3a. When the glass door frame 3a is closed, the game area can be seen through the glass window.

In the pachinko game machine 1, a security cover 50A is attached to the right end of the outer frame 1a formed in the shape of a vertically long rectangular frame. When the gaming machine frame 3 is closed, the security cover 50A covers the right side of the board case 201 including the setting keys 51 and the setting changeover switches 52 from the rear side. The security cover 50A is a substantially L-shaped member including short pieces 50Aa and long pieces 50Ab, and may be made of transparent synthetic resin.

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

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

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

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

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

In the special pattern game, if a specific special pattern (a big win pattern, for example, "7", actual patterns differ depending on the type of big win described later) is stop-displayed as a fixed special pattern, it becomes a "big hit", and if a special pattern different from the big win pattern (losing pattern, for example, "-") is stop-displayed, it becomes a "lose". Incidentally, the "loss" in the pachinko game machine 1 includes a "time-saving loss" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time-saving state) without going through the jackpot game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As a performance executed in accordance with the progress of the game, variable display of decorative patterns is started in response to the start of the first special game or the second special game in ``left'', ``middle'' and ``right'' decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R provided in the image display device 5.例文帳に追加At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game and the second special game, the fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns), which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative patterns, is also stopped (derived).

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

In addition, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win state during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko game machine 1, a plurality of kinds of ready-to-win performances are executed with different ratios (also called big win reliability or big win expectation) of a display result (display result of a special game or display result of variable display of decorative patterns) to a ``big win'' according to a performance mode. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

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

In the case of a ``variable probability big win'' controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the big win game state, odd number decoration patterns (for example, ``7'' etc.) are stopped and displayed together, and in the case of a ``non-probability variable big win (normal big win)'' not controlled to the variable probability state after the end of the big win game state, even number decoration patterns (for example, ``6'' etc.) may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative design is also called the probability variable design, and the even-numbered decorative design is also called the non-probable variable design (normal design). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

When the display result of the special figure game is "lost", the mode of variable display of the decorative patterns does not become the ready-to-win mode, and as a display result of the variable display of the decorative patterns, fixed decorative patterns (also called "non-ready-to-win") of the non-ready-to-win combination may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative patterns to be "non-ready-to-lose"). In addition, when the display result is "lost", after the mode of variable display of the decorative patterns becomes the ready-to-win mode, as the display result of the variable display of the decorative patterns, a fixed decorative pattern of a predetermined ready-to-win combination (also referred to as "lost reach"), which is not a big win combination, may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative patterns is "lost reach").

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

Further, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decoration pattern during the variable display of the decoration pattern and then resuming the variable display, a pseudo-continuous performance may be executed in which one variable display is simulated as a plurality of times of variable display.

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

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

(Substrate configuration)
The pachinko game machine 1 is equipped with a main board 11, an effect control board 12, a sound control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, etc., as shown in FIG. In addition, various substrates such as a payout control substrate, an information terminal substrate, and a launch control substrate are arranged on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 . Furthermore, a power supply board 17 is also mounted. Various control boards include not only electronic circuit boards such as printed wiring boards on which conductive patterns are formed and on which electrical components can be mounted, but also electronic circuit mounting boards configured to implement specific electrical functions by mounting electrical components on electronic circuit boards.

A power switch 91 is connected to the power board 17, and by operating the power switch 91 (putting it in an ON state), power from an alternating current power supply such as AC 100 V in an external power supply such as a commercial power supply can be supplied from the power board 17 to electrical components including various control boards such as the main board 11 and the performance control board 12. The power supply board 17 includes, for example, a rectifier circuit for converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), a power supply circuit for converting a predetermined DC voltage into a specific DC voltage (eg, 12 V DC, 5 V DC, etc.).

The main board 11 is a control board on the main side, and has a function of controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (execution of special game (including management of suspension), execution of normal game (including management of suspension), jackpot game state, game state, etc.). The main board 11 has a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, a solenoid circuit 111, and the like.

A game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103, a random number circuit 104, and an I/O (Input/Output port) 105.

The CPU 103 executes a program stored in the ROM 101 to perform processing for controlling the progress of the game (processing for realizing the functions of the main substrate 11). At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (variation patterns described later, effect control commands described later, data such as various tables referred to when making various decisions described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. The RAM 102 is a backup RAM that retains stored contents for a predetermined period of time even if the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped in part or in its entirety. All or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be developed in the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102 .

The random number circuit 104 counts updatably numerical data representing various random numbers (game random numbers) used to control the progress of the game. The game random numbers may be updated (updated by software) by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program.

I / O 105, for example, an input port to which various signals (detection signals described later) are input, and various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, normal symbol display device 20, first reservation display device 25A, second reservation display device 25B, signal for controlling (driving) general design reservation display device 25C, etc., solenoid drive signal).

The switch circuit 110 takes in detection signals (such as a detection signal indicating that a game ball has passed or entered and the switch has been turned on) from various switches for game ball detection (gate switch 21, starter switch (first starter switch 22A and second starter switch 22B), count switch 23) and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100. The transmission of the detection signal means that the passage or entry of the game ball has been detected.

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

The solenoid circuit 111 transmits a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for the big winning entrance door.

A display monitor 29 , a display changeover switch 31 , a setting key 51 , a setting changeover switch 52 , and a door open sensor 90 are connected to the main substrate 11 . The door open sensor 90 detects opening of the gaming machine frame 3 including the glass door frame 3a.

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

The performance control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, and has a function of receiving performance control commands and executing performances (various performances corresponding to the progress of the game, including various reports such as driving of the movable body 32, error reporting, and power failure recovery reporting) based on the received performance control commands.

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

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

The effect control CPU 120 may instruct the display control unit 123 to execute the effect based on a detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by the player is detected and that appropriately indicates the operation content).

The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), etc., and executes an effect based on an effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120 .

The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display a performance image by supplying a video signal corresponding to the performance to be executed to the image display device 5 based on the performance execution instruction from the performance control CPU 120 . The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating a sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 and a lamp signal (a signal for designating the lighting/lighting-off mode of the lamp) to the lamp control board 14 in order to output sound synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on/off the game effect lamp 9. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a driving circuit for driving the movable body 32 .

The audio control board 13 is equipped with various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R.

The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9, drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and turns on/off the game effect lamp 9 in a manner specified by the lamp signal. In this manner, the display control unit 123 controls sound output and lighting/extinguishing of the lamp.

Sound output, lamp lighting/extinguishing control (supply of sound designation signal and lamp signal, etc.), and control of movable body 32 (supply of signal for operating movable body 32, etc.) may be executed by effect control CPU 120.

The random number circuit 124 counts updatably numerical data indicating various random numbers (random numbers for effects) used for executing various effects. The effect random number may be updated by effect control CPU 120 executing a predetermined computer program (updated by software).

An I/O 125 mounted on the performance control board 12 includes an input port for taking in a performance control command transmitted from, for example, the main board 11, and an output port for transmitting various signals (video signal, sound designation signal, lamp signal).

Boards other than the main board 11, such as the effect control board 12, the sound control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also called sub-boards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko game machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

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

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

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

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

If the restoration condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), after executing the restoration process (step S4), the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed. The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state is restored to the state when the power supply is stopped, and when the special patterns are fluctuating, for example, the fluctuation of the special patterns can be restarted from the state before the stop.

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

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

When the setting confirmation condition is established in the setting confirmation processing of step S5, the setting confirmation state is entered in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed, and a setting confirmation start command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12.例文帳に追加In the setting confirmation state, the setting values set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29 . When ending the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

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

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

When the setting change condition is established in the setting change processing of step S7, the setting change state is set in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be changed, and a setting change start command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12.例文帳に追加In the setting change state, the setting values are displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical values displayed on the display monitor 29 are sequentially updated and displayed. After that, when the setting key 51 is turned off by the operation of the staff member of the game parlor, etc., the set value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the display monitor 29 is turned off. When ending the setting change state, a setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

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

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

The clear signal is turned on by pressing a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17, for example. Therefore, when the power supply is started, if the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is ON and the setting key 51 is ON, if the clear switch is ON, the initialization process of step S6 and the setting change process of step S7 are executed, and control to the setting change state is possible. When the power supply is started, if the detection signal from the door open sensor 90 is OFF or if the setting key 51 is OFF, if the clear switch is ON, the initialization process of step S6 is executed while the setting change state is not controlled, and if the clear switch is OFF, the recovery process of step S4 is executed while the setting confirmation state is not controlled.

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

When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to determine whether detection signals are received from various switches such as the gate switch 21, the first start switch 22A, the second start switch 22B, and the count switch 23 via the switch circuit 110 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko game machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, data such as jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots), start information (information indicating the number of start-up winnings, etc.), and probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability variable state has occurred) are output to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 (step S23).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". The process during the opening of the big win includes a process of measuring the elapsed time after opening the big winning hole and a process of judging whether or not it is time to return the big winning hole from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23.例文帳に追加Then, when returning the big prize winning opening to the closed state, after executing the processing of stopping the supply of the solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning prize opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", and the processing during the opening of the big winning prize is finished.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". The processing after opening the big win includes processing for determining whether or not the number of execution times of rounds in which the big prize opening is opened reaches a set upper limit execution number, and processing for setting to end the big win game state when the upper limit execution number is reached. When the number of execution times of the round does not reach the upper limit number of execution times, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of execution times of the round reaches the upper limit number of execution times, the value of the special process flag is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

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

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

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

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

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

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit determination value assigned to "big hit" or "loss with time saving" in each display result determination table, as shown in FIG.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit determination value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "big hit").On the other hand, when the set value is 2 to 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value is set to the range of 1238 to 1253 for the set value 2, the range of 1238 to 1272 for the set value 3, the range of 1238 to 1292 for the set value 4, the range of 1238 to 1317 for the set value 5, and the range of 1238 to 1346 for the set value 6.

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

Therefore, the big win probability is increased by setting 1020 as a reference value (big win reference value) for the big win determination value and increasing the non-common numerical value range continuing to the common numerical value range as the set value increases.

Furthermore, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the time saving loss determination value for determining the time saving loss regardless of the set value. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and the loss judgment value with time reduction is in a numerical range different from the range (1020 to 1346) of the big hit judgment value of the previous set value 6. Since it is set in the range of 7 to 65535, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is set as the common numerical range of the big hit determination values for determining the big win regardless of the setting value.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit determination value for judging the big win is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "big hit").On the other hand, when the set value is 2 to 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value is set to the range of 1347 to 1383 for the set value 2, the range of 1347 to 1429 for the set value 3, the range of 1347 to 1487 for the set value 4, the range of 1347 to 1556 for the set value 5, and the range of 1347 to 1674 for the set value 6.

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the variable probability state, if the set value is 1, among the hit determination values that can take values in the range of 0 to 65535, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to the "jackpot". It is Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

Therefore, the big win probability is increased by setting 1020 as a reference value (big win reference value) for the big win determination value and increasing the non-common numerical value range continuing to the common numerical value range as the set value increases.

In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set as the common numerical range of the big hit determination values for determining the big win regardless of the set value.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit determination value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "big hit").On the other hand, when the set value is 2 to 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value is set to the range of 1238 to 1253 for the set value 2, the range of 1238 to 1272 for the set value 3, the range of 1238 to 1292 for the set value 4, the range of 1238 to 1317 for the set value 5, and the range of 1238 to 1346 for the set value 6.

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

Therefore, the big win probability is increased by setting 1020 as a reference value (big win reference value) for the big win determination value and increasing the non-common numerical value range continuing to the common numerical value range as the set value increases.

Furthermore, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65425 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the time saving loss determination value for determining the time saving loss regardless of the set value. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and the loss judgment value with time reduction is 6531 with 65317 as the reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction) in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit judgment value (1020 to 1346) of the set value 6. Since it is set in the range of 7 to 65425, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

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

As described above, in the present pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, regardless of the set value, the range of 65317 to 65535 is set to the common numerical value range that is not included in the time-saving state when the game state is the normal state and the time-saving state. The range of ~65425 is set as a common numerical value range with time saving. In other words, when the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the ratio of the variable display result not including the time saving is a common ratio for any set value, so that gambling property can be prevented from being excessively increased by the set value. Furthermore, with respect to the time saving loss, to which a common determination value number is assigned in each setting value, all setting values are set in a continuous numerical range from 65317, which is the time saving loss reference value, so that the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination of whether the variable display result is the time saving loss can be reduced.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, the display result (determined decorative pattern) of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the presence/absence of execution of various effects such as ready-to-win effects and various advance notice effects, the mode and execution start timing are determined based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

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

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

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

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending performance processing, the performance control CPU 120 sets a performance control pattern corresponding to the end of the big win game state, for example, and executes various performance control of the ending performance at the end of the big win game state based on the setting contents. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

The command 81XXH is a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a decoration pattern (also called a performance design) variably displayed in the "left", "middle", and "right" decoration design display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special design in the special game. Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value that is arbitrarily set according to the contents of instructions by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data are set according to the specified variation pattern.

Command 8CXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special design or a decorative design. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (B), different EXT data is set according to the determination result (predetermined result) as to whether the variable display result (also referred to as the variable display result) is "loss" or "jackpot", and the determination result (jackpot type determination result) as to which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is to be when the variable display result is "jackpot".

Among the variable display result designation commands, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3(B), command 8C00H is a first variable display result designation command indicating a predetermined result that the variable display result is "no". The command 8C01H is a second variable display result specification command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot A" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot B" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result specification command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the jackpot type is "unprobable variable jackpot".

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

The command 9600H is a variable probability fall notification command that notifies the end (fall) of the variable probability state that the game state changes from the variable probability state to the low probability state (low probability high base state in the case of this feature part 037SG) when the game state is the variable probability state (high probability high base state). Command 97XXH is a time-saving number notification command for notifying the value of a time-saving variable display number counter indicating the number of times of variable display in the time-saving state (high-probability-high base state) when the gaming state is the time-saving state (high-probability-high base state and low-probability-high base state).

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

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

Command B100H is a first start winning designation command for notifying that a first starting condition for executing a special figure game using a first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is established based on the fact that a game ball passing (entering) a first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and a start winning (first start winning) is generated. Command B200H is a second starting winning designation command for notifying that a second starting condition for executing a special figure game using a second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is established based on the game ball passing (entering) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B being detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and starting winning (second starting winning) occurring.

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

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

The commands shown in FIG. 11-3(A) are only examples, and some of these commands may be omitted, different commands may be used in place of these commands, and commands different from these commands may be added. For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the winning of game balls in each prize opening, a gate passage notification command for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41, a notification command for notifying the remaining number of times that the variable probability control or the time reduction control is executed, etc. may be provided.

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

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

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

A random number value MR3 for determining a variation pattern is a random number value used for determining one of a plurality of types prepared in advance for the variation pattern in the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols, and takes a value in the range of, for example, ``1'' to ``997''.

The random number MR4 for judging the result of normal pattern display is a random value used for determining whether the variable display result in the normal pattern display device 20 in the normal pattern display is ``win in normal pattern'' or ``lost in normal pattern'', and takes a value in the range of, for example, ``3'' to ``13''.

The random number MR5 for probability variable fall determination is a random value used for determining whether or not to terminate the variable probability state (variable probability fall) when the variable display result is “miss” when the game state is the variable probability state (high probability high base state), and takes a value in the range of “1” to “500”, for example.

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

The special figure display result determination table is a table referred to for determining, based on the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination, whether or not to control the variable display result to a big hit game state as a "jackpot" before deriving and displaying a fixed special symbol which is a variable display result in a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B.

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

In the special figure display result determination table, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment is the judgment data assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the special figure display result to the big win game state as a ``jackpot''. In the special figure display result determination table in the characteristic part 037SG, when the game state is the variable probability state (high probability state), more judgment values than when the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) are assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the variable probability state (high probability state) in which variable probability control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the probability that the special figure display result is "big hit" when it is in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) is determined to be controlled to the big hit game state (about 1/300 in the feature part 037SG). 1/30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is the variable probability state (high probability state), the determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control to the big win game state so that the probability of determining to control to the big win game state is higher than when it is the normal state or the time saving state.

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

FIG. 11-6(A) shows a configuration example of a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. The jackpot type determination table in this characteristic part 037SG is a table referred to for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types based on a random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is determined to control to a jackpot game state with the special figure display result as ``big win''. In the jackpot type determination table, depending on whether the special symbol that is variablely displayed (variable display) in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for judging the jackpot type is "non-probability variable big hit", "variable probability big hit A", "variable probability big hit B", " It is assigned to a plurality of types of jackpot types such as probability variable jackpot C".

Here, when the jackpot type in this feature part 037SG is explained using FIG. A ``variable probability big hit C'' that shifts to a low probability base state and a ``non-variable probability big hit'' that shifts to a low probability high base state after only time reduction control is executed after the end of the big winning game state are set.

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

The high-precision control executed after the end of the jackpot game state of the variable probability big win A to the variable probability big win C is continuously executed until the end of the special game in which the fall lottery using the variable probability fall determination table shown in FIG. 11-5(B) is won. In addition, the time-saving control executed after the end of the big win game state of the variable probability big win A to the variable probability big win C ends when the special pattern game is executed 100 times or the big win game state is entered before the special pattern game is executed 100 times when the falling lottery is won before the 100th special pattern game (variable display of the special pattern) is executed after being controlled to the variable probability state. When the falling lottery is won in the 101st or later special game after being controlled to the variable probability state, the special game in which the falling lottery was won ends or the game ends with a big win game state. Therefore, when the regenerated big win is any one of the variable probability big win A to C, the high-accuracy control and the time-saving control are executed again after the end of the big win game state, so that the big win game state is continuously generated without going through the normal state, which is a so-called consecutive game state.

On the other hand, the time saving control executed after the end of the big win game state by the ``non-variable big win'' ends when the special game is executed 100 times or when the big win game state is entered before the special game is executed the predetermined number of times.

In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), depending on whether the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure or the second special figure, the allocation of the determination value to the jackpot types of "probable variable big hit A", "probable variable big hit B", "probable variable big hit", and "non-probable variable big hit" is different. That is, when the variably displayed special figure is the first special figure, a judgment value in a predetermined range (a value in the range of "81" to "100") is assigned to the jackpot type of "variable probability big hit B" or "variable probability big hit C" with a small number of rounds. With such a setting, when the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the first start condition for starting the special game using the first special pattern by the first special pattern display device 4A, and when the jackpot type is determined to be one of the plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition for starting the special pattern game using the second special pattern by the second special pattern display device 4B. It is possible to make different the ratios determined for the hit B" and the "probable variable jackpot C". In particular, in a special game using the second special figure, the jackpot type is not determined to be controlled to a big hit state with a small number of rounds as "variable probability big win B" or "variable probability big win C", so for example, in a game state where game balls easily enter the second start winning port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, high opening control accompanying time saving control is performed. has become

In addition, in the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6 (A), the assignment of the determination value to the "non-probability" jackpot type is the same regardless of whether it is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

Therefore, as described above, the allocation of the determination value for "probable variable big hit B" and "probable variable big hit C" differs depending on whether it is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure. It is set to be easier to determine than when it is a special game.

Incidentally, even in the case of the special game of the second special figure, a judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special game of the first special figure may be assigned to the big hit types of ``variable probability big hit B'' and ``variable probability big hit C''. For example, in the case of the special game of the second special pattern, a judgment value smaller than that in the case of the special game of the first special pattern may be assigned to the jackpot types of ``variable probability big hit B'' and ``variable probability big hit C''. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined by referring to common table data regardless of whether the game is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure.

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

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

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

The variation pattern of super reach γ is a variation pattern in which a variable display result is executed as a reach effect of super reach γ and a variable display result is notified by executing a variable display result suggesting that the fall lottery has been won. This is a variation pattern for executing a resurrection suggestive effect suggesting that the state is a variable display result.

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

In addition, in this characteristic part 037SG, since the variable display result is "big win" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach, the degree of expectation for big hit is set to be higher, so in the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation for big hit.

Further, in the present characteristic portion 037SG, as will be described later, these variation patterns are determined using only the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 11-8 is an explanatory diagram of the determination method of the variation pattern in the characteristic portion 037SG. In this characteristic part 037SG, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is made different according to the display result of the variable display to be executed, the number of pending memories, the number of times of variable display, and the like.

More specifically, in the big hit variation pattern determination table C, PB1-4 are determined at a rate of 100%.

More specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table A, PA1-1 is determined at a rate of 50%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 40%, PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 7%, and PA2-3 is determined at a rate of 3%.

In addition, if the game state is a low base state (low probability low base state), the variable display result is lost and the number of pending memories of the variable special figure is 2, select the variation pattern determination table B for loss, and use the variation pattern determination table B for loss to change the variation pattern PA1-2 (variation pattern of shortened non-reach loss), PA2-1 (normal reach loss), PA2-2 (super reach α loss variation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach β is deviation pattern). More specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table B, PA1-2 is determined at a rate of 60%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 7%, and PA2-3 is determined at a rate of 3%.

In addition, if the game state is a low base state (low probability low base state), the variable display result is lost, and the number of pending memories of the variable special figure is 3, select the variation pattern determination table C for loss, and use the variation pattern determination table C for loss. deviation pattern). More specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table C, PA1-3 is determined at a rate of 70%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 20%, PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 7%, and PA2-3 is determined at a rate of 3%.

In addition, if the game state is a high base state (low probability high base state or high probability high base state), and the number of times of variable display in the high base state is up to 99 times, select the variation pattern determination table D for loss, and use the variation pattern determination table D to change the variation pattern to PA1-4 (shortened non-reach loss variation pattern for time saving state), PA2-2 (super reach α loss variation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach β loss variation pattern). Determine from More specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table D, PA1-4 is determined at a rate of 95%, PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 4%, and PA2-3 is determined at a rate of 1%.

In addition, when the game state is a high base state (low probability high base state or high probability high base state), and the number of times of variable display in the high base state is the 100th, select the variation pattern determination table E for loss, and determine the variation pattern from PA2-4 (super reach γ loss variation pattern) using the variation pattern determination table E for loss. More specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table E, the ratio of PA2-4 is determined to be 100%.

In addition, when the game state is a high base state (low-probability-high base state or high-probability-high base state), the number of times of variable display in the high base state is the 101st time or later, and the falling lottery is won, the fluctuation pattern determination table for loss is selected, and the fluctuation pattern is determined from PA2-4 (super reach γ loss variation pattern) and fluctuation pattern PA2-5 (super reach δ loss variation pattern) using the loss variation pattern determination table F. More specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table F, PA2-4 is determined at a rate of 70%, and PA2-5 is determined at a rate of 30%.

In addition, if the game state is a high base state (low probability high base state or high probability high base state), the number of times of variable display in the high base state is the 101st time or later and the falling lottery is not won, select the variation pattern determination table G for loss, and use the variation pattern determination table G to change the variation pattern PA1-4 (shortened non-reach loss variation pattern for time saving state), PA2-2 (super reach α loss variation pattern), PA2-3 (super reach) β is a deviation variation pattern). More specifically, in the deviation variation pattern determination table G, PA1-4 is determined at a rate of 95%, PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 4%, and PA2-3 is determined at a rate of 1%.

In addition, in this characteristic part 037SG, when the variable display result is a big hit, the form of determining the variation pattern regardless of the type of the big win is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection ratio of any one of the variation patterns for the big win (PB1-1 to PB1-5) may be varied according to the type of the big win. By doing so, it is possible to create a variation pattern that can be easily determined for each big win type, so that the player can be made to pay attention to which variation pattern the variable display result is a big win, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

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

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

Following the processing of step 037 SGS142, by subtracting 1 from the second special figure reserved storage number count value and the total reserved storage number count value and updating them, the second special figure reserved storage number and the total reserved storage number are updated so as to be subtracted by 1, and the data in the second special figure reservation storage unit is updated. Specifically, the pending data indicating the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the pending number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the pending numbers "2" to "4") in the second special figure pending storage unit are shifted upward one entry at a time (step 037 SGS143).

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

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

The special game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure. In this case, it is sufficient to provide a table for storing data capable of specifying the order in which starting prizes are generated, and to determine which of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is used to start execution of the special symbol game from the stored data.

At step 037SGS145, when the first special figure reservation memory number is other than "0" (step 037SGS145; N), as the reservation data stored corresponding to the reservation number "1" in the first special figure reservation storage unit, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for special figure display result judgment, the random number value MR2 for big hit type judgment, the random number value MR3 for variation pattern judgment, and the random number value MR5 for probability variable fall judgment are read out (step 037SGS145). 037 SGS146). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Following the processing of step 037 SGS146, by subtracting 1 from the count value of the number of first special figure reservation and the count value of total number of reservation information and updating them, the first special figure reservation number and the total number of reservation information are updated so as to be subtracted by 1, and the data of the first special figure reservation storage unit are updated. Specifically, the pending data indicating the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the pending number "1" (for example, the entries corresponding to the pending numbers "2" to "4") in the first special figure pending storage unit are shifted upward one entry at a time (step 037 SGS147).

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

In step 037SGS149a, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is ON (step 037SGS149a). If the time saving flag is ON (step 037SGS149a; Y), the value of the time saving variable display number counter indicating the number of times of variable display in the time saving state is incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step 037SGS149c (step 037SGS149b). Proceed to 149c.

In step 037 SGS149c, the special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 11-5 is selected and set as a use table for deciding whether the special figure display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbols, is a "jackpot" or a "lose". Subsequently, the numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result stored in the variable random number buffer is compared with the judgment value assigned to each special figure display result of ``big hit'' or ``losing'' to determine whether the special figure display result is ``big hit'' or ``losing'' (step 037 SGS150a). In this step 037 SGS150a, if the game state at that time is a high probability state (variable probability state) in which the variable probability flag is on, if the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result falls within the range of 10000 to 12180 corresponding to the high probability state (variable probability state), it is determined as "big hit", and if not, it is determined as "loss". In addition, if the variable probability flag is in a low probability state (low probability low base state in the case of this characteristic part), if the random number MR1 for judging the special figure display result falls within the range of 1 to 219, it is judged as ``big hit'', and if not, it is judged as ``loss''.

Thus, in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected in step 037SGS149c, since different determination values are assigned to "big hit" corresponding to the game state (high probability, low probability) at that time, in the process of step 037SGS150a, according to whether the game state is high probability state when the variable display of the special figure game etc. is started, the special figure display result is set to "big hit" using different determination data (judgment value). By determining whether or not, when the gaming state is a high probability state, it is determined (determined) as a "jackpot" with a higher probability than when it is a low probability state.

When it is judged to be a "jackpot" at step 037SGS150a (step 037SGS150a; Y), the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037SGS152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6(A) is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types (step 037 SGS153). By referring to the thus set jackpot type determination table, it is determined which of a plurality of types the jackpot type should be according to which of the numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination stored in the variable random number buffer and the determination value assigned to each jackpot type of ``non-probability variable jackpot'', ``probability variable jackpot A'', ``probability variable jackpot B'', and ``probability variable jackpot C'' in the jackpot type determination table matches (step) 037 SGS154).

By determining the jackpot type in the processing of step 037 SGS154, which game state to control the game state after the jackpot game state is a short time state (low-probability-high base state) or a variable-probability state (high-probability-high base state) having a higher advantage for the player than the time-saving state is determined before deriving the fixed special symbol as a variable display result. Corresponding to the thus determined jackpot type, for example, by setting a jackpot type buffer value, which is a stored value of a jackpot type buffer provided in a game control buffer setting section (step 037 SGS155), etc., the determined jackpot type is stored. As an example, if the jackpot type is "non-probability variable big hit" corresponding to non-probability variable big win, the value of the jackpot type buffer is set to "0", "probability variable A" corresponding to probability variable big hit A is set to "1", "probability variable B" corresponding to probability variable big hit B is set to "2", and "probability variable C" corresponding to probability variable big hit C is set to "3". After the processing of step 037SGS155, the process proceeds to step 037SGS156.

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

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

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

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

In addition, when the reserved memory number of the special symbol game using the first special symbol is "0" at step 037SGS145 (step 037SGS145; Y), after performing a predetermined demonstration display setting (step 037SGS158), the special symbol normal processing is terminated. In this demonstration display setting, it is determined whether or not a performance control command (customer waiting demonstration designation command) designating a demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined performance image on the image display device 5, for example, has been transmitted from the main board 11 to the performance control board 12.例文帳に追加At this time, if the customer waiting demonstration specifying command has already been transmitted, the demonstration display setting is finished as it is. On the other hand, if the command has not been transmitted, the setting for transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed, and then the demonstration display setting is completed.

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

Also, if the time saving flag is ON (step 037SGS162a; Y), it is determined whether the value of the time saving variable display number counter is 101 or more, that is, whether the variable display is a variable display after 101 times in the time saving state including the probability variable state (step 037SGS162b). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 or less (step 037SGS162b; N), it is further determined whether the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 (step 037SGS162c). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 99 or less, that is, if the variable display is the 1st to 99th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037SGS162c; N), select the big hit variation pattern determination table B and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163a). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100, that is, if the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037SGS162c; Y), select the big hit variation pattern determination table C and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS163b).

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

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

In step 037SGS165c, if the value of the time-saving variable display frequency counter is 100, that is, if the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 037SGS165c; Y), select the deviation pattern determination table E and proceed to step 037SGS175 (step 037SGS166b).

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

In addition, when the time saving flag is in the OFF state in step 037SGS165a (step 037SGS165a; N), for example, provided in the game control counter setting unit, by reading the stored value of the variable special figure pending memory number counter, etc., to specify the variable special figure pending memory number and determine whether the specified variable special figure pending memory number is 1 or 2 (step 037SGS170).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Based on the command transmission setting in step 037 SGS177, every time the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. 5 is executed after the variation pattern setting process is completed, the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The game state designation command, the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command, the variation pattern designation command, the variable display result designation command, the first reserved memory number notification command or the second reserved memory number notification command are sequentially transmitted. The order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be arbitrarily changed, for example, after the variable display result designation command is transmitted first, the first variable display start command or second variable display start command, the variation pattern designation command, the game state designation command, the first reservation memory number notification command, or the second reservation memory number notification command may be transmitted in this order.

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

Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 037 SGS182). When the big hit flag is turned on (step 037SGS182; Y), the CPU 103 clears the variable probability flag and the short time flag to turn them off if the variable probability flag and the short time flag are turned on (step 037 SGS184), and the production control board 12 according to the type of the big hit stored. Setting for transmitting a winning start 3 designation command (probability variable jackpot C) and a winning start 4 designation command (non-probability variable) is performed (step 037 SGS185).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the stored jackpot type is not non-probability variable jackpot (step 037SGS205; N), the probability variable flag is turned on (step 037SGS207), the time saving flag is turned on (step 037SGS208), and after setting "0" to the time saving variable display frequency counter (step 037SGS212), the process proceeds to step 037SGS213.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In this characteristic part 037SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the variable probability big hit A, the performance control CPU 120 determines, for example, a combination of decorative patterns (big hit pattern) in which three patterns are "7" as stop patterns. When the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the variable probability big win B or the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the variable probability big win C, the stop pattern is determined from among a plurality of combinations of odd number patterns other than "7" (for example, combinations of decorative patterns such as "111", "333", "555" and "999"). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the non-probability variable big hit, the performance control CPU 120 determines, for example, a combination of decorative patterns (big hit pattern) in which three patterns are even-numbered patterns as stop patterns. If the received variable display result specifying command is the first variable display result specifying command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the non-reach variation pattern, a combination of decoration patterns (lost pattern) in which three patterns are not aligned as the stop pattern is determined. If the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the ready-to-win variation pattern, a combination of the ready-to-win failure (loss pattern) in which the left and right patterns are the same but the middle patterns are different is determined as the stop pattern.

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

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

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

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

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

In step 037SGS277, if the variation pattern specification command read in step 037SGS275 is a super reach γ or super reach δ variation pattern specification command (step 037SGS277; Y), the read variation pattern specification command is a super reach γ variation pattern specification command (step 037SGS291).

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

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

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

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

As shown in FIG. 11-17(B), the chance-up effect in this characteristic part 037SG is an effect that can be executed during the execution period of the ready-to-win effect of super ready-to-win, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the chance-up effect may be executable outside the execution period of the ready-to-win effect of super ready-to-win.

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

When the execution of the chance-up performance is determined (step 037SGS300; Y), the variable display is the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, and the probability variable continuation/big hit notification process table corresponding to the execution and variation pattern of the chance-up performance is selected, and the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS301). When it is decided not to execute the chance-up performance (step 037SGS300; N), the variable display is the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, and the process table for probability variable fall notification corresponding to the non-execution and variation pattern of the chance-up performance is selected, and the process proceeds to step 037SGS279 (step 037SGS302).

In addition, in the process of step 037SGS291, if the read variation pattern designation command is the variation pattern designation command of super reach δ (step 037SGS291; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines the display character when executing the resurrection suggestion effect according to the variable display result, and stores the determined character (step 037SGS303).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-15(B), when the result of the variable display is a big hit, the character to be displayed when the resurrection suggestion effect is executed is determined to be the character A at a rate of 30% and the character B at a rate of 70%. On the other hand, when the result of the variable display is a loss, that is, when the probability variable fall is won, the display character at the time of execution of the resurrection suggestion performance is determined to be the character A at a rate of 70% and the character B at a rate of 30%. That is, in this characteristic part 037SG, when the character B is displayed when executing the resurrection performance, the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit (the ratio of the variable probability state not falling) is set higher than when the character A is displayed during the execution of the resurrection performance.

Incidentally, the resurrection effect in the characteristic part 037SG is a effect suggesting that the variable display result as the reach effect of the super reach δ is a big hit after the probability variable fall is once reported as the reach effect of the super reach γ (because the variable display result is a big win, the state is controlled to the variable probability state again after the big win game ends).

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

In other words, as the resurrection effect in the characteristic part 037SG, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g are lit, and in addition to the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g, the movable lamp 9d is lit.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines and stores the light emitting color when executing the second light emitting effect according to the result of the variable display. As shown in FIGS. 11-20 and 11-39, the second light emission effect is an effect in which a light effect image 037SG005E is displayed on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the resurrection suggestion effect, and the display color of the light effect image 037SG005E suggests that the variable display result is a big win.

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

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

When the process of steps 037SGS291 to 037SGS308 shown in FIG. 11-14 is executed and the process proceeds to step 037SGS279, the processes of steps 037SGS279 to 037SGS283 shown in FIG. 11-13 are executed to end the variable display start setting process. The effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the process timer by 1 each time the effect process during variable display is executed, and controls the effect device according to the content of the process data corresponding to the value of the process timer.

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

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

Next, the reach production of super reach γ (variable probability falling suggestive production) and the reach production of super reach δ (resurrection suggestive production) that can be executed in the high base state (variable probability state or time saving state) in this characteristic part 037SG will be described based on FIGS. 11-17 and 11-20.

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

The front-stage performance A includes a title display performance of displaying the title of the ready-to-reach performance of the super reach γ in the display area of the image display device 5, an enemy character emphasizing performance of emphasizing the enemy character in the display area of the image display device 5 from the end of the title display performance, and a teammate character emphasizing performance of emphasizing the teammate character in the display region of the image display device 5 from the end of the target character emphasizing performance.

The middle stage performance A includes a total of three performances, ie, a first middle stage performance, a second middle stage performance started at the end of the first middle stage performance, and a third middle stage performance started at the end of the second middle stage performance. The latter-stage performance includes a total of four performances of a first latter-stage performance, a second latter-stage performance that starts when the first latter-stage performance ends, a third latter-stage performance that starts when the second latter-stage performance ends, and a first light-emitting performance that starts when the third latter-stage performance ends and displays a light-emitting effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5. - 特許庁

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here, when the length of the performance period of the front stage performance B is L4 and the length of the performance period of the middle stage performance B is L5, the performance period of the middle stage performance B and the rear stage performance is set longer than that of the front stage performance B.例文帳に追加That is, the effect image of the middle stage effect B and the effect image of the latter stage effect are set to be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 for a longer period of time than the effect image of the front stage effect B (L3>L4, L5>L4).

Furthermore, when the length of the performance period of the first additional performance in the front stage performance B is L41 and the length of the performance period of the second additional performance is L42, the performance period of the first additional performance is set longer than that of the second additional performance, and the performance period of the first additional performance is set longer than that of the front stage performance A (title display performance, enemy character emphasis performance, teammate character emphasis performance). That is, for the three performances of the front stage performance A, the first additional performance and the second additional performance, the display period of the performance image of the front stage performance A is set to be the longest, and the display period of the performance image of the second additional performance is set to be the shortest (L1>L41, L41>L42).

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

As shown in FIGS. 11-18(A) to 11-18(C), the first additional effect in the characteristic portion 037SG is an image in which a silhouette is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, then the silhouette changes to an image of an enemy character, and a message is displayed above the enemy character, and as shown in FIGS. This is an effect in which an image immediately before attacking each other is displayed.

On the other hand, FIGS. 11-19(A) and 11-19(B) show an effect in which an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other as the enemy character and the allied character approach each other as in FIGS.

11-18(D) to 11-18(E) and FIGS. 11-19(A) to 11-19(B) constitute a common effect portion for displaying a common image (video) in the display area of the image display device 5 in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, and FIGS. 11-18(A) to 11-18(C) and FIG. A non-common effect part (a first non-common effect part and a second non-common effect part) is configured to display different images (video) in the display area of the image display device 5 for the additional effect and the second additional effect.

As shown in FIGS. 11-18 and 11-19, L411 is the effect period of the first non-common effect part (FIGS. 11-18(A) to 11-18(C)) in the first additional effect, and L4 is the effect period of the common effect part (FIGS. 11-18(D) to 11-18(E) and FIGS. 11-19(A) to 11-19(B)) in the first additional effect and the second additional effect. 12. Assuming that the rendering period of the second non-common rendering section (FIG. 11-19(C)) in the second additional rendering is L413, the sum of the rendering period of the first non-common rendering section and the rendering period of the second uncommon rendering is set longer than the rendering period of the common rendering. That is, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the sum of the display period of the effect image of the first non-common effect part and the display period of the effect image of the second non-common effect part is set longer than the display period of the effect image of the common effect part (L411+L413>L412).

Also, when comparing the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state shown in FIG. 11-17(A) and the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state shown in FIG. That is, the display period of the effect image of the latter stage effect is set longer than the sum of the display period of the effect image of the preceding stage effect A and the display period of the effect image of the preceding stage effect B (L3>L1+L4).

In the ready-to-reach performance of super ready-to-win γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the first additional performance, the second additional performance and the third additional performance are executed, so that the performance period L102 of the ready-to-reach performance of super ready-to-win γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high-base state is set longer than the performance period L101 of the ready-to-reach performance of super ready-to-win γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-20, in the variable display in the variation pattern of the super reach δ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, after the ready-to-reach effect of the super reach γ shown in FIG. It is designed to be

The ready-to-reach effect of the super reach δ is a effect that starts at the start timing of the ready-to-win effect, and is an operation promoting effect to encourage the player to operate the operation means such as the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, a second light emitting effect that starts when the operation promoting effect ends, and a second light emitting effect that displays a white or red light emitting effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5, and an effect that starts when the second light emitting effect ends, and the variable display result is a big win or a hit. A total of three productions are included, including a recovery suggestion result notification production that informs of loss (the variable display result is lost and the probability variable state ends (probability variable fall)).

Here, when the length of the performance period of the operation promotion performance is L31, the length of the performance period of the second light emission performance is L32, and the length of the performance period of the revival suggestion result notification performance is L33, the performance period of the revival suggestion result notification performance is set longer than the performance period of the second light emission performance. That is, the period during which the white or red light emission effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the second light emission effect is set shorter than the period during which the effect image of the restoration suggestion result notification effect is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 (L33>L32).

That is, in this characteristic portion 037SG, when comparing the case where the super reach γ ready-to-reach effect (fall suggestive effect) is executed as the 100th variable display in the high base state and the case where the super reach γ reach effect (fall suggestive effect) is executed as the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the same title display effect, enemy character emphasizing effect, and ally character emphasizing effect are executed during the pre-stage effect effect period by using the pre-stage effect video data A for both. On the other hand, the songs output from the speakers 8L and 8R are different due to the different song data used.

Also, as shown in FIG. 11-22(C), in the case where the ready-to-reach effect (fall suggestive effect) of super reach γ is executed as the 100th variable display in the high base state, the lamp data for the front stage effect is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the front stage effect, the lamp data for middle stage effect is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the middle stage effect, and the game effect lamp 9 is lit in a lighting pattern according to the second stage effect. In order to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the fall suggestion result reporting performance, the fall suggestion result reporting performance lamp pattern A or the fall suggestion result reporting performance lamp data B is used.

On the other hand, in the case where the ready-to-reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of super reach γ is executed as the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, the lamp data for the front stage effect is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in the lighting pattern corresponding to the front effect, the lamp data for the middle effect is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in the lighting pattern corresponding to the middle effect, and the lamp data for the latter effect is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in the lighting pattern corresponding to the latter effect. In order to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the fall suggestion result reporting performance, the fall suggestion result reporting performance lamp pattern A or the fall suggestion result reporting performance lamp data B is used.

When the ready-to-win performance (resurrection suggesting performance) of super reach δ is executed as the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the front-stage performance lamp data is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the front-stage performance, the middle-stage performance lamp data is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the middle-stage performance, and the second-stage performance lamp data is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern according to the second-stage performance. A fall suggestion result reporting performance lamp pattern A is used to light an effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the fall suggestion result reporting performance, and a revival suggestion performance lamp data A or a revival suggestion performance lamp data B is used to light the game effect lamp 9 in a lighting pattern corresponding to the revival suggestion performance.

As shown in FIG. 11-23(A), the front stage effect lamp data includes first additional effect lamp data, title display effect lamp data, enemy character emphasis effect lamp data, ally character emphasis effect lamp data, and second additional effect lamp data. Among the lamp data for the first additional effect, the lamp data for the title display effect, the lamp data for the enemy character emphasizing effect, the lamp data for the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect lamp data, only the lamp data for the title display effect, the lamp data for the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the lamp data for the ally character emphasizing effect are used in the pre-stage effect A, whereas the lamp data for the first additional effect, the lamp data for the title display effect, the lamp data for the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect effect, and the second additional effect lamp data are all used in the pre-stage effect B. Ramp data is used. In other words, when the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect are displayed on the image display device 5 as the pre-stage effect only (when the pre-stage effect A is executed), and when the effect images of the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect are displayed on the image display device 5 as the pre-stage effect (when the pre-stage effect B is executed), the common pre-stage effect lamp data is used, but the part of the pre-stage effect lamp data that is used differs. are

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-23(B), the middle-stage effect lamp data includes third additional effect lamp data, first middle-stage effect lamp data, second middle-stage effect lamp data, and third middle-stage effect lamp data. Of these third additional effect lamp data, first middle effect lamp data, second middle effect lamp data, and third middle effect lamp data, only the first middle effect lamp data, second middle effect lamp data, and third middle effect lamp data are used in the middle effect A, while all the lamp data of the third additional effect lamp data, the first middle effect lamp data, the second middle effect lamp data, and the third middle effect lamp data are used in the middle effect B. . That is, only when the first middle stage effect, second middle stage effect, and third middle stage effect images are displayed on the image display device 5 as the middle stage effect (when the middle stage effect A is executed), and when each effect image of the third additional effect, the first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, and the third middle stage effect are displayed on the image display device 5 as the middle stage effect (when the middle stage effect B is executed), the common middle stage effect lamp data is used, while the part of the middle stage effect lamp data that is used is used. is different.

In addition, by using the lamp data for the post-stage effect and the lamp data for the notification effect of the fall suggestion result, the main lamp 9a is lit at the luminance C1 or the luminance C2 (C2>C1) which is higher than the luminance C1 over the third post-stage effect period, the first light emitting effect period, and the fall suggestion result notification effect period.

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

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

In addition, by using the lamp data for the post-stage effect and the lamp data for the notification effect of the fall suggestion result, the main lamp 9a is lit at the luminance C1 or the luminance C2 (C2>C1) which is higher than the luminance C1 over the third post-stage effect period, the first light emitting effect period, and the fall suggestion result notification effect period.

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

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

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

Furthermore, when the movable body lamp 9d is determined as the light-emission target lamp (see FIG. 22-15), the movable body lamp 9d is repeatedly flashed at the brightness C1 in response to repeated pressings of the push button 31B during the operation promotion presentation period.

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

First, in the reach effect of super reach γ in the 100th variable display in the high base state, as shown in FIG. 11-27(A), as a title display effect, an image in which a friend character and an enemy character face each other in the display area of the image display device 5, and a message to the effect that the high base state (time-saving state including the variable probability state) ends when the friend character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed. At this time, the music A is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the brightness C1.

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

When the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect as the pre-stage effect are finished, as shown in FIGS. The middle stage effects include, for example, the enemy character advancing the battle against the allied character (first middle stage shown in FIG. 11-27(D)), the enemy character chasing the allied character (second middle stage shown in FIG. 11-28(E)), and the enemy character's attack hitting the allied character (third middle stage shown in FIG. 11-28(F)). A production suggesting that is executed. During execution of the middle stage effect, the music for the middle stage effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

After the end of the middle-stage production, the latter-stage production is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Incidentally, as the latter stage production, for example, the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character (first latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-28(G)), the friendly character avoids the enemy character's attack (second latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-28(H)), and the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character (third latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-29(I)). An effect suggesting that the base state will continue or that the variable display result will be a big hit is executed. During execution of the latter-stage production, music for the latter-stage production is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

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

After the end of the first light emitting effect, a drop suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the variable display result and whether or not the fall lottery is won. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 (L) and 11-30 (M), when the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is lost and the falling lottery is not won, an image is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, after an image of the friend character defeating the enemy character is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the variable display result is a big win or the high base state (time-saving state including the definite variable state) continues. During execution of the fall suggesting result notification performance, the continuous notification music corresponding to the continuation of the variable display result being a big hit or the high base state (time saving state including the variable probability state) is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V2 (V2>V1), and the main lamp 9a emits light in rainbow color with brightness C2 and then white light with brightness C1.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-30 (N) and 11-30 (O), when the variable display result is wrong and the falling lottery is won, an image is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in which the friend character is knocked down (defeated) by the enemy character, and then an image notifying that the game state is controlled to the normal state by winning the falling lottery is displayed. During execution of the fall suggesting result notification performance, the fall notification music is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at a volume V1 in accordance with the control of the game state to the normal state by winning the fall lottery, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

In the reach effect of super reach γ in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-31(A) and 11-31(B), as the first additional effect, an image in which the enemy character appears in the display area of the image display device 5 and an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other are displayed. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the brightness C1.

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

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

11-32(F) and FIG. 11-32(G), as a second additional effect, after an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, a message indicating that a battle between the friendly character and the enemy character is about to start (characters "FIGHT!" in FIG. 11-32(G)) is displayed overlapping the image. At this time, the music B is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the brightness C1.

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

When the third additional effect ends, as shown in FIGS. 11-33(K), 11-34(L), and 11-34(M), a middle stage effect is executed in which the friend character and the enemy character fight each other. In addition, the middle stage production includes, for example, the enemy character advancing the battle against the allied character with superiority (first middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-33(K)), the enemy character chasing the allied character around (second middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-34(L)), and the enemy character's attack hitting the allied character (third middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-34(M)). A production suggesting that is executed. During execution of the middle stage production, the music for the middle stage production is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

After the end of the middle-stage production, the latter-stage production is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Incidentally, as the second stage production, for example, the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character (the first latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-34 (N)), the friendly character avoids the enemy character's attack (the second latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-34 (O)), and the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character (the third latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-35 (P)). An effect suggesting that the base state continues or that the variable display result becomes a big hit is executed. During execution of the latter-stage production, music for the latter-stage production is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at the volume V1, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-35(P) and 11-35(Q), from the end of the third second stage effect, an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. Then, when the first light emission performance is started, the light emission effect image 037SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the ally character and the enemy character which have been displayed until immediately before are temporarily rendered invisible to the player. During the execution of the first light emission effect, the speakers 8L and 8R output music for the latter stage effect at the volume V1, and after the main lamp 9a is turned off once, it emits white light with the luminance C2 (see FIG. 11-24).

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

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-36(U) and 11-36(V), when the variable display result is wrong and the drop lottery is won, an image is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in which the friend character is knocked down (defeated) by the enemy character, and then an image notifying that the game state is controlled to the normal state due to the win of the drop lottery is displayed. During execution of the fall suggesting result notification performance, the fall notification music is output from the speakers 8L and 8R at a volume V1 in accordance with the control of the game state to the normal state by winning the fall lottery, and the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1.

As shown in FIG. 11-27, this characteristic portion 037SG exemplifies a mode in which a pending display corresponding to a variable display that has not yet been executed and a pending display that corresponds to a variable display that is being executed are displayed in the lower portion of the display area of the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pending display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and depending on which display mode the variable display corresponding to the pending display is displayed, the variable display result of the variable display results in a big hit. Different pending display forewarning effects may be made executable.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-27, the characteristic part 037SG exemplifies a mode in which the pending display is displayed in the lower portion of the display area of the image display device 5, and the active display is displayed according to the variable display being executed. good too.

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

Further, in the case where it is possible to execute the above-described pending display notice effect or active display notice effect in this feature part 037SG, when the active display notice effect is executed during the execution of the super reach γ reach effect (during the variable display in the super reach γ variation pattern executed in the 100th or 101st variable display in the high base state), and the variable display result suggests that the result will be a big hit, the player is notified in advance that the control to the high base state will be performed again after the big win game ends. Since there is a risk of being recognized, during the execution of the ready-to-win performance of super reach γ, the execution of the pending display advance notice effect or the active display advance notice effect (the change in the display mode of the hold display or the active display) may be restricted, or the display of the hold display or the active display itself may be restricted.

11-30 (M), 11-30 (O), 11-36 (T), and 11-36 (V), as shown in FIG. 11-30 (M), FIG. 11-30 (O), FIG. 11-36 (T), and FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main lap 9a after notification of the fall suggestion result emits light in a different manner according to the reported fall suggestion result (for example, when it is reported that the variable display result is a big hit or that the variable display result is a loss but the high base state continues, the main lap 9a continues to FIG. 11-30 (L) or FIG. 11-36 (S). While the lamp 9a emits light in rainbow colors, the main lamp 9a may emit light in white or blue when it is notified that the variable display result is wrong and the high base state ends.

Furthermore, a plurality of light emission modes of the main rap 9a when it is notified that the variable display result is false and the end of the high base state is provided as the ready-to-reach effect of the super reach γ, and the ratio of executing the ready-to-reach effect (resurrection suggestive effect) of the super reach δ after the end of the ready-to-reach effect of the super reach γ may be changed according to which light emission mode the main lamp 9a emits. In this way, even when it is notified that the variable display result of the ready-to-win performance of super ready-to-win γ is wrong and the high base state ends, the player's attention can be made to the light emitting mode of the main lamp 9a and the player's expectation for the ready-to-win performance of super ready-to-win δ can be maintained.

11-37(A), a shutter image 037SG005S in a closed state is displayed over the entire display area of the image display device 5, and an operation promoting image prompting the player to repeatedly press the push button 31B is displayed on the left side of the display area.

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

Then, when the shutter image 037SG005S is opened up to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promoting effect ends, as shown in FIGS. During execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 037SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by these light emission effect images 037SG005E.

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

At this time, when the variable display result is a big win, the shutter image 037SG005S is completely opened (the shutter image 037SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), so that the image of the character A is displayed over the entire display area of the image display device 5, and the variable display result is a big win after the end of the big win game despite the fact that the high base state is temporarily terminated in the reach performance of the super reach γ. is notified that it is controlled to the high base state (probability variable state) again.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is a loss (and when the falling lottery is won), as shown in FIG. 11-38(I), the shutter image 037SG005S is closed from the state shown in FIG.

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

Then, when the shutter image 037SG005S is opened up to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promoting effect ends, as shown in FIGS. During execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 037SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by these light emission effect images 037SG005E.

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

At this time, when the variable display result is a big win, the shutter image 037SG005S is completely opened (the shutter image 037SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), so that the image of the character B is displayed over the entire display area of the image display device 5, and the variable display result is a big win after the end of the big win game even though it is notified that the high base state will end once in the reach performance of the super reach γ. is notified that it is controlled to the high base state (probability variable state) again.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is a loss (and when the falling lottery is won), as shown in FIG. 11-40(I), the shutter image 037SG005S is closed from the state shown in FIG.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the characteristic portion 037SG, when the game state is the high base state, the fall lottery is executed each time the variable display is executed. Then, when the fall lottery is won by the 99th variable display in the high base state, the probability variable control is executed until the variable display of the fall lottery is won, while the time reduction control is continuously executed until the 100th variable display.

In the pachinko game machine 1 with such a game property, by performing the 100th variable display in the high base state with the super reach γ variation pattern, the super reach γ reach effect (drop suggesting effect) that suggests that the fall lottery has been won is executed by the 100th variable display (see FIG. 11-17 (A)), and the super reach γ variation pattern is performed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. At the start of the display, it is possible to execute a super reach γ reach effect (fall suggestion effect) that suggests that the player has won the fall lottery (see FIG. 11-17(B)).

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

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17(A) and 11-17(B), in the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, compared with the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ that is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state, the first additional effect as the front stage effect and the third additional effect as the middle stage effect are additionally executed. In particular, the first additional performance is executed as the performance at the beginning of the front stage performance, and the third additional performance is executed as the performance at the beginning of the middle stage performance, so that the player can recognize the possibility that the chance-up performance will be executed during the ready-to-win performance of the super ready-to-win γ by recognizing that the first additional performance and the third additional performance are executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17(A) and 11-17(B), the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state are the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, the ally character emphasis effect, the first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, the third middle stage effect, the first latter stage effect, the second latter stage effect, and the third stage effect. The 3rd stage effect, the first light emitting effect, and the fall suggestion result notification effect are executed in common. In particular, in the ready-to-reach performance of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the base state and the ready-to-reach performance of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, the fall suggestion result is reported in a common performance mode by executing the fall suggestion result informing performance in common, so that the player can easily recognize the fall suggestion result.

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

In this characterizing section 037SG, a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the first additional effect is exemplified as a common image with a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third post-stage effect executed in common in the reach effect of super reach γ which is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the reach effect of super reach γ which can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third additional effect may be a common image with a part of the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the third post-stage effect executed in common between the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state.

As shown in FIGS. 11-17(A) and 11-17(B), as the ready-to-reach effects of each super reach γ, the middle stage effect is executed after the middle stage effect is executed, and the latter stage effect is executed after the middle stage effect is executed. In the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ executed at the 100th variable display in the high base state, a title display effect, an enemy character emphasizing effect, and a teammate character emphasizing effect are performed during the effect period L1. In the ready-to-reach performance of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and later variable displays in the high base state, a total of five performances of a first additional performance, a title display performance, an enemy character emphasis performance, an ally character emphasis performance, and a second additional performance are executed over a performance period L4 as pre-stage performances. The effect period L3 of the latter stage effect is set longer than the sum of the effect period L41 of the first additional effect and the second additional effect L42 (L3>L41+L42). Therefore, in the common performance part in which the performance image common to the first additional performance and the second additional performance is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, the performance period L3 of the latter stage performance is set to be longer than the sum of the performance period L41 of the first additional performance and the second additional performance L42, so that the player can be prevented from giving the impression that the performance part is common to the first additional performance and the second additional performance, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-18 and 11-19, the sum of the effect period of the first non-common effect part and the effect period of the second non-common effect is set to be longer than the effect period of the common effect (L411+L413>L12), thereby preventing the common effect part from being conspicuous when the effect image of the common effect part is displayed in both the first additional effect and the second additional effect.

In addition, the effect period L4 of the pre-stage effect in the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high-base state is set longer than the effect period L1 of the pre-stage effect in the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high-base state. It is possible to prevent the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 from being conspicuous in both the ready-to-reach performance of γ and the ready-to-reach performance of super reach γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-22, the image displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 is common between the title display effect, the enemy character display effect, and the friend character display effect in the ready-to-reach effect of the super reach γ which is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state, and the title display effect, the enemy character display effect, and the friend character display effect in the reach effect of the super reach γ which can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state. It is possible to surely prevent the fact that the images displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect are displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in common in the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the reach effect of the super reach γ executed in the 101st and later variable displays in the high base state.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, 11-28, and 11-29, the latter-stage production includes a first latter-stage production in which an image in which the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character is displayed, a second latter-stage production in which an image in which the friendly character avoids the enemy character's attack is displayed, and a third latter-stage production in which an image is displayed in which the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character. It is set to be long and longer than the effect period L23 of the third post-stage effect. That is, in the first rear-stage performance, the second rear-stage performance and the third rear-stage performance, the period during which the image is displayed becomes longer as the performance closer to the end timing of the whole latter-stage performance is, so that the images displayed in the first rear-stage performance, the second rear-stage performance and the third rear-stage performance can be varied, and the player's attention can be heightened.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-21 and 11-23, the pre-stage effect (pre-stage effect A) within the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ which is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state and the pre-stage effect (pre-stage effect B) within the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ which can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state use common pre-stage effect lamp data for lighting the game effect lamp 9. The effect B differs from the effect B in the part of the lamp data for the front common effect used for lighting the game effect lamp 9.例文帳に追加For this reason, while the lamp data for lighting the game effect lamp 9 are shared in the front stage production A and the front stage production B, the light emission mode of the game effect lamp 9 can be made different between the case where each production image of the title display production, the enemy character enhancement production and the ally character enhancement production is displayed as the front production A and the case where each production image of the first additional production, the title display production, the enemy character enhancement production and the ally character enhancement production is displayed as the front production B. It is also possible to reduce waste of storage capacity due to redundant storage of lamp data in the ROM 121 when the display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect are executed.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-31, and 11-33, the reach effect of the super reach γ in the characteristic portion 037SG is an effect in which the enemy character fights with the ally character, and when the enemy character wins, it is announced that the high base state will end, and when the ally character wins, the high base state will continue or the variable display result will be a big hit. That is, the enemy character displayed during execution of the ready-to-reach performance of super reach γ is a character suggesting that the high base state will end, and the ally character displayed during execution of the ready-to-reach performance of super reach γ is a character to suggest that the high base state continues or the variable display result is a big hit. In the front-stage performance A and the front-stage performance B, after executing the enemy character emphasis performance of enlarging and displaying the image of the enemy character in the display area of the image display device 5, the ally character emphasis performance of enlarging and displaying the image of the ally character is executed, so that the player can have an increased expectation for the continuation of the high base state and for the variable display result to be a big win.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-30, 11-31, 11-33, and 11-36, the main lamp 9a emits blue light when the enemy character emphasizing effect is executed as the pre-stage effect A or the pre-stage effect B, and the main lamp 9a emits red light when the teammate character emphasizing effect is executed. When the first light emitting performance is executed, the main lamp 9a emits white light, thereby making the player pay attention to whether or not the high base state continues and whether or not the result of the variable display results in a big hit, thereby improving the interest in the game.

As shown in FIG. 11-24, when the main lamp 9a emits white light as the first light emission effect, the fall suggestion result notification effect is executed after the main lamp 9a is turned off. That is, after the main lamp 9a is turned off, the effect image of the fall suggestion result notification effect (the image of the enemy character defeating the ally character or the image of the ally character defeating the enemy character) is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. Therefore, when the main lamp 9a is turned off, the fall suggestion result notification effect is produced. Since any one of the performance images of the fall suggestion result notification performance is displayed at the timing when the player's attention to the image tends to increase, the performance interest by the display of the fall suggestion result notification performance can be preferably improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-17, in the front stage effect B, the effect image of the title display effect, the enemy character enhancement effect, and the ally character enhancement effect (the effect image of the front effect A) is displayed between the effect image of the first additional effect and the effect image of the second additional effect, and the effect period L1 of the previous effect A is set longer than the effect period L41 of the first additional effect (L1>L41). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from having the impression that the common video part is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as both the first additional performance and the second additional performance as the performance images, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-27, 11-28, 11-33, and 11-34, as the middle stage effect, by displaying a effect image in which the ally character is at a disadvantage, such as the enemy character advancing the battle with superiority over the ally character, the enemy character chasing the ally character around, and the enemy character hitting the ally character, a sense of urgency can be imparted to the reach effect (fall suggestive effect) of the super reach γ, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-17, 11-27, 11-28, 11-33, and 11-34, the middle-stage production includes a first middle-stage production in which an image of the enemy character advancing the battle with superiority over the ally character is displayed, a second middle-stage production in which an image of the enemy character chasing the ally character is displayed, and a third middle-stage production in which an image of the enemy character hitting the ally character is displayed. It is set longer than the effect period L11 of the first middle stage effect and longer than the effect period L13 of the third middle stage effect. That is, in the first middle stage performance, the second middle stage performance, and the third middle stage performance, the period during which the image is displayed becomes longer as the performance closer to the end timing of the whole middle stage performance is, so that the images displayed in the first middle stage performance, the second middle stage performance, and the third middle stage performance can be varied, and the player's attention can be heightened.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the characteristic portion 037SG can perform variable display even in the variation pattern of super reach δ in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state. In the variable display of the variation pattern of the super reach .delta., the ready-to-reach performance (fall suggestion performance) of the super reach .gamma. is executed in the same manner as the variation pattern of the super reach .gamma.

As shown in FIG. 11-20, as a ready-to-reach effect (resurrection suggesting effect) of super reach δ, the operation promoting effect and the second light emitting effect are executed in a common mode in the case where the variable display result is a big hit and the case where the variable display result is a loss and the player wins the drop lottery. In addition, the second light production directing is a production that displays a white or red light emission effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5. Resurrection suggestion results when the indications are jackpot are set shorter than the execution period of the resurrection suggestion result of the reward result when the result of the reward and variable display is off. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-15(D), the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit differs depending on the display color of the light emission effect image 037SG005E displayed in the second light emission effect, that is, the ratio of the image indicating that the variable display result is a big hit as the effect image of the resurrection suggestion result notification effect in the display area of the image display device 5 is different.

Therefore, even when the variable display result is either a big win or a loss (and winning the fall lottery) as a result of the ready-to-win performance of the super reach δ, by displaying the light-emitting effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5 during the performance period of the second light-emitting performance, the player's expectation for the variable display result to be a big win can be maintained, thereby improving the interest in the game. In addition, by displaying the light emission effect image 037SG005E in white or red as the second light emission performance, the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the image indicating that the variable display result is a big win is displayed as the performance image of the resurrection suggestion result notification performance, thereby improving the game interest.

Further, in this characteristic portion 037SG, the main lamp 9a can be displayed in a plurality of colors (modes) such as white, red, and rainbow colors. As shown in FIG. 11-25, the main lamp 9a emits white light with the luminance C1 during the execution period of the operation promoting effect, while the main lamp 9a emits light with the same color (white or red) as the light emitting effect image 037SG005E displayed on the image display device 5 at the luminance C2, which is higher than the luminance C1, during the executing period of the second light emitting effect. The performance effect of the second light emission performance can be improved by enhancing the performance effect of the display of the 7SG005E, and further, the deterioration of the performance effect of the display of the light emission effect image 037SG005E due to the brightness of the main lamp 9a being higher during the execution period of the operation promotion performance than the brightness of the main lamp 9a during the execution period of the second light emission performance can be prevented.

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

As shown in FIG. 11-26, the decoration 037SG300 in the characteristic portion 037SG is provided with a first decoration lamp 9e, a second decoration lamp 9f, and a third decoration lamp 9g, which are annular from the outer edge side toward the center of the decoration 037SG300. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11-25 and 11-26, during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g start blinking in order when the player hits the push button 31B repeatedly. You can improve your interest.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-15(C) and 11-25, during the execution period of the operation promotion effect, the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B, whereby the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g may blink, and the movable lamp 9d may blink in addition to the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g. During the performance execution period, it is possible to prevent the light emission (blinking) of these lamps from becoming monotonous, and to suppress the deterioration of the performance interest of the ready-to-win performance of super reach δ.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-25, the main lamp 9a is emitted in the luminance C1 over the entire execution period of the operation promotion production, but in the execution period of the second light, it is emitted at the brightness C2, which is higher brightness than the brightness C1, so in the second light of the second light, the resurrection suggestion result of the resurrection suggestion results in the report. It is possible to increase the expectation of the variable display result (displays the production image for the large hit result) is enhanced, and the gaming is improved.

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

In addition, in the first light emission effect and the second light effect of the present characteristic portion 037SG, by displaying the light effect image 037SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5, all other images displayed in the display area are temporarily rendered invisible to the player, but the present invention is not limited to this. Only part of the other images displayed in the display area may be temporarily invisible to the player.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (G) and 11-40 (G), during the execution period of the revival suggestion result notification effect, the shutter image 037SG005S is slightly changed from the state shown in FIGS. After the shutter image 037SG005S is slightly opened, the opening of the shutter image 037SG005S is completed and an image of character A or character B is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5 as an image informing that the variable display result is a big hit, or the shutter image 037SG005S is closed in the display area of the image display device 5 as an image informing that the variable display result is a loss. is terminated. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 (G) and 11-40 (G), as an image informing that the variable display result is a big hit by slightly opening the shutter image 037SG005S, the player's expectation can be increased for the completion of the opening of the shutter image 037SG005S and the display of the images of the character A and the character B in the entire display area of the image display device 5, and the game interest can be improved.

In addition, when notifying that the variable display result is lost and that the falling lottery has been won as the resurrection suggestion result notification effect, the display area of the images of the characters A and B is narrowed by closing the shutter image 037SG005S that is in the process of opening, as shown in FIGS. 11-38 and 11-40. The change in the display areas of the images of the characters A and B due to the closing of 7SG005S makes it easier for the player to recognize that the variable display results are lost and that the fall lottery has been won.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-25, when the variable display result is lost as the resurrection suggestion result notification effect and the fall lottery win is reported, the main lamp 9a emits light at the luminance C1 during the execution period of the resurrection suggestion result notification effect and then is extinguished.

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

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

In the modified example 037SG-1, when the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of the chance-up effect to be executed in the first additional effect is set higher than the ratio of the chance-up effect to be executed in the third additional effect. In other words, the "advantage" in the present invention is a concept that includes not only the ratio of the variable display result to a big win, but also the probability that the falling lottery will not be won in the variable display in the high base state.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, when the fall indication result notification effect is executed as the reach effect (fall suggestion effect) of super reach γ, as shown in FIGS. In the case where the fall suggestion result notification effect is executed as the suggestion effect), only one of the friend character and the enemy character may be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 . For example, when the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is a loss and the fall lottery is not won, only the friend character who knocked down the enemy character or only the enemy character knocked down by the friend character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the fall suggestion result notification effect. Only the falcon character should be displayed. By doing so, the player can be made to pay attention to whether the friend character or the enemy character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the fall suggestion result notification performance after the first light emission performance is executed, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the characteristic part 037SG, a mode is exemplified in which variable display of decorative patterns and effects corresponding to other variable displays (ready-to-win effects of each super reach, etc.) are exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 037SG-3, a plurality of effect modes with different variable display modes of decorative patterns and effects corresponding to other variable displays may be provided, and these effect modes may be switched by operating means such as the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A. . In particular, when a plurality of performance modes are made switchable in this way, the start timing of the first additional performance and the third additional performance can be changed according to each performance mode, thereby making it possible to differentiate the performance mode of the ready-to-reach performance of the super reach γ and the super reach δ, and by making the start timing of the first additional performance and the third additional performance different, the interest of the ready-to-reach performance of the super ready-to-win γ that can be executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays in the high base state can be improved.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, a mode in which a friend character and an enemy character are displayed as each effect image of the front stage effect A, the front stage effect B, the middle stage effect A, and the middle stage effect B is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. By doing so, it is possible to surely prevent the player from having the impression that the performance images of the title display performance, the enemy character emphasis performance and the ally character emphasis performance are the performance images displayed in both the front stage performance A and the front stage performance B.例文帳に追加

In addition, in the characterizing part 037SG, as the reach effect of super reach γ (drop suggestion effect), the effect of fighting between the ally character and the enemy character is executed, and when the ally character wins over the enemy character, the variable display result indicates a big hit or the high base state continues, and when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character, the variable display result is lost and the high base state ends. As the ready-to-win effect (fall-indicating effect), it may be reported that the high base state will continue due to the draw between the friend character and the enemy character.

11-17 and 11-22, when the pre-stage effect A is executed, the effect images of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasized effect, and the ally character emphasized effect are displayed on the image display device 5 by using the pre-stage effect A video data. The image display device 5 displays the effect image of the first additional effect in addition to the effect. That is, in the feature section 037SG, the common video data (video data for the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect) for the images displayed in common in the pre-stage effects A and B and the non-common video data for the images displayed only in the pre-stage effect B (video data for the first additional effect) are separately stored in the ROM 121. When the pre-stage effect A is executed, the image is displayed on the image display device 5 using only the common video data, and when the pre-stage effect B is executed. The amount of data stored in the ROM 121 is reduced by displaying images on the image display device 5 by using non-common video data in addition to the common video data, but the present invention is not limited to this. When the performance B is executed, the image display device 5 displays the performance images of the first additional performance, the title display performance, the enemy character emphasis performance, and the ally character emphasis performance by using all the video data for the preceding stage performance B, while the performance images of the title display performance, the enemy character emphasis performance, and the ally character emphasis performance may be displayed on the image display device 5 by using only the common video data among the video data for the preceding stage performance B when the performance A is executed. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the development cost of the duplication of effects where the same effects are executed in the preceding effects A and B.

Further, in the characteristic portion 037SG, the images of the characters A and B are displayed in the resurrection suggestion effect, and the ratio of the variable display result to the big hit varies depending on whether the image of the character A or the image of the character B is displayed. The ratio controlled by the state may be different.

Further, in the characterizing part 037SG, the first light emission effect and the second light emission effect are executed during execution of the ready-to-win effect, and the light emission effect image is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the first light emission effect and the second light emission effect, thereby temporarily making the image displayed on the image display device 5 invisible to the player, other than the light effect image. The display of the image may temporarily make the decoration pattern, the background image, etc. displayed on the image display device 5 invisible to the player.

In particular, when it is possible to display the light-emitting effect image from the timing before the reach during the variable display, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48, a light-emitting effect image may be displayed in which a single light source such as the sun approaches the decorative pattern from the rear side to the front side so that the decorative pattern becomes difficult to see.

As shown in FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48, when displaying a lighting effect image in which a single light source approaches from the back side to the front side of the decorative pattern, if the display data (video data) corresponding to each position of the single light source is generated for each decorative pattern and stored in advance, the display data (video data) becomes enormous, and the load for creating the display data becomes extremely large. 11-41 to 11-46, a high-performance display control unit 123 having a function of drawing a lighting effect image showing how light emitted from a single light source diffuses (lighting effect drawing function) may be used by simulating the positional relationship between the decorative pattern and the single light source in the virtual space of the display area of the image display device 5, as shown in the principle diagrams of FIGS. 11-41 to 11-46.

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

As shown in FIG. 11-41(A), the first decorative design drawing surface and the second decorative design drawing surface are located ahead of the first decorative design drawing surface by a virtual distance of virtual depth Z0. Therefore, if the central decorative pattern 037SG105C and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or the left decorative pattern 037SG105L are displayed overlappingly, an image is generated in which the right decorative pattern 037SG105R or the left decorative pattern 037SG105L is blocked by the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. In addition, when the decorative patterns of the same size as the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L are drawn on the second decorative pattern drawing surface, only the central decorative pattern 037SG105C becomes larger, resulting in an unnatural display when the three decorative patterns are aligned. Thus, the size of the image of the central decorative design 037SG105C drawn on the second decorative design drawing surface is adjusted and drawn.

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

Therefore, when the lighting effect drawing function is actually used, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-41, by specifying the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) of the single light source 037SG105K in the virtual space, the lighting effect image when the single light source 037SG105K is positioned at the specified coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) is automatically drawn and displayed by the display control unit 123 through simulation.

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

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

As the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 11-42(A), when the coordinates (X2, Y1, Z1) of the position directly behind the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the position away from the first decorative pattern drawing surface by Z1, that is, the coordinates horizontally moved to the left from the aforementioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) are designated as shown in FIG. 11-42(B). 11-41, the distance of the first decorative pattern drawing surface is Z1, as in the case shown in FIG. 11-41, so that the luminous effect image 037SG105E, in which a slight radial light is visible from the periphery of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L, is drawn and displayed, as in FIG. 11-41. The luminous effect image 037SG105E is the luminous effect image 037SG105E in which the luminance increases closer to the center and decreases toward the edge, and the size of the entire image (distance from the center of the effect to the outer edge of the effect) is substantially the same size as the luminous effect image 037SG105E in FIG.

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

As the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 11-44(A), the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z2) of a position approaching the first decorative pattern drawing surface and Z2 away from the first decorative pattern drawing surface, that is, the coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) moved closer to the central decorative pattern 037SG105C without changing the above-mentioned coordinates (X1, Y1, Z1) were specified. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11-44(B), the entire image is a luminous effect image 037SG105E larger than when the distance from the first decorative design drawing surface is Z1, and the single light source 037SG105K approaches the left decorative design 037SG105L and the right decorative design 037SG105R, resulting in the left decorative design 037SG105L and the right decorative design 03. Light also wraps around the front of 7SG105R, making the outline unclear. On the other hand, the single light source 037SG105K is positioned directly behind, and the distance from the single light source 037SG105K is greater than the left and right decoration designs 037SG105L and 037SG105R. 37SG105E is drawn and displayed. Note that the overall luminance of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is also higher than that of the light emission effect image 037SG105E when the Z coordinate is Z1 due to the approach of the single light source 037SG105K.

As the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, as shown in FIG. 11-45(A), if the coordinates (X1, Y1, -Z3) of a position ahead of the first decorative pattern drawing surface and the second decorative pattern drawing surface and Z3 away from the first decorative pattern drawing surface are specified, as shown in FIG. The light emission effect image 037SG105E, which is a light emission effect image 037SG105E in which the strong light radiated from K is not blocked, has a large size of the entire image and has a very high luminance is drawn and displayed in substantially the entire display area of the image display device 5.例文帳に追加At this time, the left, middle, and right decoration patterns arranged behind the single light source 037SG105K are all invisible due to the light emission effect image.

As described above, in this modification 037SG-8, by designating the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K, the lighting effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the designated coordinates is automatically drawn by the lighting effect drawing function of the display control unit 123 and displayed. Even if the designated coordinates are the same, these light-emitting effect drawing functions can draw and display the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E according to, for example, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C drawn on the second decorative pattern drawing surface scrolling downward by the variable display, as shown in FIG. 11-46(A).

Specifically, when the scrolling central decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn at a position overlapping the single light source, as shown in FIG. 11-46(B), the light from the single light source is blocked by the central decorative pattern 037SG105C (similar to FIG. 11-41(B)) is drawn and displayed, and the scrolling central decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn and displayed as the single light source 037SG105K. 11-46(C''), the light emitted from the single light source can be visually recognized without being blocked by the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center. 11-46, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C has been described as an example, but the same applies to the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L.

As described above, in the highly functional display control unit 123 used in the modification 037SG-8, by designating the coordinates of the single light source in the virtual space, the lighting effect image 037SG105E when the single light source 037SG105K is positioned at the designated coordinates is automatically generated and displayed. By describing the coordinates of SG105K, a light emission effect image 037SG105E corresponding to the coordinates of the single light source 037SG105K described in the process data is automatically generated and displayed on the image display device 5 after being combined with other effect images.

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

First, when the variable display is executed in the super -reach fluctuation pattern, etc., as shown in FIG. 11-47 (A) and FIG. 11-47 (B), when the variable display of the decorative pattern is executed for a predetermined period, the same background image 5a is displayed on the display screen of the image display ancestor 5. The left decorative design 037SG105L and the right decoration pattern 037SG105R stop and reach. Then, the display of the luminous effect image 037SG105E is started behind the central decoration pattern 037SG105C which is still being displayed in a variable manner. The light emission effect image 037SG105E gradually expands in display area on the display screen of the image display device 5 as the variable display progresses, and increases in luminance.

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

Furthermore, a part of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is diffracted between these central decorative patterns 037SG105C, between the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, between the right decorative pattern 037SG105R and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, and between the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. , the upper and lower parts of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, the right part of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L, and the left part of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are displayed in an overlapping manner.

In addition, as the variable display progresses and the display area of the luminous effect image 037SG105E on the image display device 5 expands and the luminance increases, the brightness of the pedestal portions 037SG105D of the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R decreases due to backlight by the luminous effect image 037SG105E, and then each decorative pattern 037SG105. The brightness of the number display portion 037SG105S in L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R decreases. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-47(E), when the luminous effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is further enlarged, the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105SGC, and 037SG105R are finally changed to black, and the section of the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S are invisible to the player. state.

More precisely, when the light emitting effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed to the position behind the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the pedestals 037SG105D of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R decreases, and these left decorative patterns decrease. The contours of 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are emphasized by the lighting effect image 037SG105E. Furthermore, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is enlarged and displayed to the left side of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and to the right side of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the number display portions 037SG105S of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R decreases, and the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105L decrease in brightness. While the entire decorative pattern 037SG105R changes to black, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases, and the contour of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is emphasized by the light emission effect image 037SG105E. Then, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is further enlarged and displayed in substantially the entire display area, the brightness of the number display portion 037SG105S of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is lowered, and the entire central decorative pattern 037SG105C changes to black.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11-47(F), when the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entire display screen of the image display device 5 in accordance with the progress of the variable display, the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a that have been displayed until then become temporarily invisible to the player.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 11-48(G), 11-48(I), and 11-48(K), the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 based on the elapse of a predetermined period of time at a position different from the display start position of the light emission effect image 037SG105E (central portion of the display screen of the image display device 5) (FIGS. 11-48(G), 11-48(I), and FIG. 11). In the case of -48(K), the display may be reduced toward the upper left portion of the display screen of the image display device 5, and finally hidden.

Furthermore, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is hidden, as shown in FIGS. 11-48(G) and 11-48(H), the image display device 5 starts displaying the high-expectation-suggesting background image 5b different from the above-described normal background image, thereby suggesting that the variable display result will be a big hit at a higher rate than when the high-expectation-suggesting background image 5b is not displayed, or that the variable display result is more variable than other ready-to-reach effects. Reach may be executed after suggesting that the probability of hitting a big hit is high, or the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R shown in FIG. 105S with different display colors), it is possible to suggest that the variable display result will result in a big win at a higher rate than when the decorative pattern with a different display mode is not displayed, or the ready-to-win performance may be executed after suggesting that the variable display result has a higher rate of winning a big win than other ready-to-win performances.

Furthermore, when the light emission effect image 037SG105E is hidden, as shown in FIGS. After displaying each of the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R shown in FIG.

In this modified example 037SG-8, by using the highly functional display control unit 123, the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed during the variable display, and at the same time other images displayed on the image display device 5 are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by the lighting effect image 037SG105E. It can be realized by specifying the destination coordinates of 5K and notifying the display control unit 123 of the specified coordinates.

In addition, in the modification 037SG-8, by using the high-performance display control unit 123, the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed during the variable display, and the other images displayed on the image display device 5 are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by the light emission effect image 037SG105E. and a single light source, each image may be drawn on a different layer for each display priority.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-49, the display control unit 123 draws an image (game-related information image) such as a small symbol indicating that variable display is being executed on Layer 1 for drawing an image with the highest display priority, a reserved memory number display indicating the number of reserved memories of each special figure, and a reserved display, and a light-emitting effect image 037SG105E on Layer 2 for drawing an image with the highest display priority next to Layer 1, and a display priority next to Layer 2. The central decorative pattern 037SG105C is drawn on the layer 3 for drawing the image with the highest display priority, the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are drawn on the layer 4 for drawing the image with the next highest display priority after the layer 3, and the background image is drawn on the layer 5 for drawing the image with the next highest display priority after the layer 4 (image with the lowest display priority).

In this manner, when displaying the luminous effect image 037SG105E, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48, the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image can be temporarily made invisible to the player by the luminous effect image 037SG105E, and the small patterns by the luminous effect image 037SG105E. It is possible to prevent game-related information such as display of number of reserved memories, display of reserved memory, etc. from becoming invisible to the player.

As shown in FIGS. 11-41 to 11-27 to 11-40, the present characterizing section 037SG exemplifies a form in which small symbols, a display of the number of retained memories, etc., as game-related information are always displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these game-related information are based on the game situation (for example, the game state is a low base state in which variable display can be performed, a good base state, or a big hit in which variable display is not performed). A non-display period may be provided depending on whether the game is in a game state or the like.

As described above, in the present modification 037SG-8, as shown in FIG. 11-47, each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R changes from a state in which the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S can be discriminated and recognized in accordance with the increase in luminance of the light emission effect image 037SG105E. As the brightness of SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S decreases, the outline is emphasized by the light emission effect image 037SG105E. Finally, the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are entirely blackened. Thus, by changing the visibility of the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R by displaying the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E, the player can recognize the light-emitting performance using the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E as a realistic performance, so that the performance interest of the light-emitting effect can be enhanced.

Further, when the light effect image 037SG105E is displayed, unlike the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R, the background image 5a is not blackened by the light effect image 037SG105E and becomes invisible to the player, as shown in FIG. 11-47. Even when the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a are hidden from the player by the 37SG105E, they are displayed without changing their visibility so that they can be recognized by the player, so that the visibility of these game-related information can be ensured.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-48, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are blackened, the background image 5b for suggesting high expectations may be displayed in place of the background image 5a in accordance with the end of the display of the lighting effect image 037SG105E. The display of 105E can effectively draw the player's attention to the fact that the background image 5b for suggesting a high degree of expectation is displayed, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-48, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and each of the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R is blackened, the background image 5b for suggesting high expectations may be displayed in place of the background image 5a in accordance with the end of the display of the lighting effect image 037SG105E, while each decorative pattern 037SG. 105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R may be displayed in the same display mode as before the light effect image 037SG105E is displayed. Therefore, the display of the light effect image 037SG105E can make the player pay attention to which of the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R in the same display mode as before the background image 5b for suggesting a high expectation and the light effect image 037SG105E is displayed, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-48, when the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed and the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are blackened, the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105 are displayed in accordance with the end of the display of the lighting effect image 037SG105E. R may be displayed in a display manner different from before the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed. Therefore, the display mode of each of the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R may change between immediately before it becomes invisible due to the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E and when the display of the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E is finished, so that it is possible to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game due to the light-emitting performance using the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E becoming monotonous.

In particular, in this modification 037SG-8, according to the display mode of each decorative pattern 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R to be displayed according to the end of the display of the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E, the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit and the ratio of the ready-to-win effect in which the variable display result is a big win after that are different, so that the display of the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E is When the game ends, it is possible to draw the player's attention to which display mode the decorative symbols 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed.

11-41 and 11-47, the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed so as to be located in front of the left and right decorative patterns 037SG105L and 037SG105R. By changing the decorative pattern 037SG105C to black, a feeling of depth can be imparted to the light emission effect performance for displaying the light emission effect image 037SG105E, so that the player can recognize the light emission performance as a realistic performance, and the performance interest of the light emission performance can be enhanced.

When the light emission effect image 037SG105E on the display screen of the image display device 5 is enlarged and displayed behind the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R decreases, and the brightness of the left decorative pattern 037SG105D decreases. The contours of SG105L and the right decorative pattern 037SG105R are emphasized by the lighting effect image 037SG105E. Furthermore, when the luminous effect image 037SG105E is enlarged and displayed to the left side of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and to the right side of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R, the brightness of the pedestal portion 037SG105D of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C decreases, and the outline of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is emphasized by the luminous effect image 037SG105E. state. In other words, in the present modification 037SG-8, the left and right decorative patterns 037SG105L and 037SG105R and the central decorative pattern 037SG105C have different timings when the lightness of the pedestal 037SG105D decreases and the outline is emphasized by the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E. Since the player can be made to recognize it as an effect, it is possible to increase the interest in the effect of the light emission effect.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-47, part of the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed overlapping the right part of the left decorative pattern 037SG105L and the left part of the right decorative pattern 037SG105R as if reflected or diffracted.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-41 and 11-47, in this modification 037SG-8, the single light source 037SG105K is moved forward from the rear position of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C to enlarge and display the light emission effect image 037SG105E. The application decoration pattern 037SG105C is moved in a direction different from that of the single light source 037SG105K, and by changing the display mode of the light emission effect image 037SG105E in accordance with both the movement of the single light source 037SG105K and the movement display (variable display) of the central decoration pattern 037SG105C, the light emission effect using the light emission effect image 037SG105E is more realistic to the player. Since the effect can be recognized as a realistic performance, the performance interest of the light emission effect can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48, in the present modification 037SG-8, the display of the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E is started from the rear position of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, that is, from the central portion of the display area of the image display device 5, and after the display of the light-emitting effect image 037SG105E is converged at the upper left portion of the display area of the image display device 5, the light-emitting effect image 037SG1 is displayed. Since the display of 05E is terminated, the player's attention can be drawn to the position where the light emission effect image 037SG105E converges and the display is terminated, thereby enhancing the interest in the game.

In addition, as a lighting effect using the lighting effect image 037SG105E, according to the change in the display mode of the lighting effect image 037SG105E, after lowering the brightness of the pedestal portions 037SG105D of the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R to change them to black, the brightness of the number display portion 037SG105S is lowered. By changing the color to black, the player can recognize the lighting effect as a more realistic effect, and the lighting effect can be improved.

In addition, in the modification 037SG-8, the direction of movement of the single light source 037SG105K and the direction of movement of the decorative pattern 037SG105C in the center are different, but the present invention is not limited to this. (Direction from the rear toward the player side in the display area of the image display device 5), the display mode of the light emission effect image 037SG105E may be changed according to the movement of the single light source 037SG105K and the movement display of the central decorative pattern 037SG105C. In this way, the player can be made to recognize that the central decorative pattern 037SG105C is displayed moving toward himself, and at the same time, by changing the display mode of at least a part of the light emitting effect image 037SG105E by displaying the central decorative pattern 037SG105C, the player can be made to recognize the light emitting effect using the light emitting effect image 037SG105E as a more realistic effect. You can improve your taste.

As shown in FIG. 11-50, the modified example 037SG-9 is exemplified by a form in which the pending display corresponding to the variable display that has not yet been executed and the pending display corresponding to the variable display being executed are displayed in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pending display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and depending on which display mode the pending display is displayed, the variable display corresponding to the pending display results in a big hit. It is also possible to make it possible to execute holding display forewarning effects with different ratios.

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

When the display mode of the suspended display and the active display can be changed during execution of the variable display, the suspended display and the active display may be temporarily invisible to the player by the light emission effect image 037SG105E, and the display mode of the suspended display and the active display may be changed during the period when the player is temporarily invisible. By doing so, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the display mode of the pending display or the active display is changed when the display of the light emission effect image 037SG105E ends, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

11-47, the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed at predetermined distances from each other so that they are not displayed in duplicate in this modified example 037SG-8. A part of C, 037SG105R may be overlapped and displayed. In particular, the overlapping portion where these decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed in an overlapping manner has a different display mode than the non-overlapping portion where these decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are not overlapped and displayed. By making it sound, the player can recognize the lighting effect using the lighting effect image 037SG105E as a more realistic effect, and the effect of the lighting effect can be improved.

11-47, the decorative patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, and 037SG105R are displayed as images that do not transmit the light emission effect image 037SG105E, but the present invention is not limited to this. At least a part of the pedestal portion 037SG105D and the number display portion 037SG105S of the 37SG105C and 037SG105R may be configured as a transparent portion through which the light emission effect image 037SG105E is displayed.

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

In addition, in the present modification 037SG-8, the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed on substantially the entirety of the image display device 5 to make the decoration patterns 037SG105L, 037SG105C, 037SG105R and the background image 5a temporarily invisible to the player. When G105E is displayed on substantially the entire image display device 5, in addition to the lighting effect image 037SG105E, a special image having the same display color as the lighting effect image 037SG105E is displayed in a portion of the display area of the image display device 5 where the lighting effect image 037SG105E is not displayed. Since it is possible to prevent the player from inferring or recognizing the image while it is displayed, it is possible to suitably execute the lighting effect using the lighting effect image 037SG105E.

11-18, 11-19, and 11-22, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the common friend character and the enemy character are displayed as common effect images in the common effect portion, and the common music data is used in the common effect portion in the first additional effect and the common effect portion in the second additional effect, as shown in FIGS. 11-18, 11-19, and 11-22. As 13, in the first additional performance and the second additional performance, while the common friend character and the enemy character are displayed in the common performance part, different music data may be used in the common performance part in the first additional performance and the common performance part in the second additional performance, that is, the music output from the speakers 8L and 8R may be different. By doing so, it is possible to further prevent the fact that the performance image of the common performance part is displayed in both the first additional performance and the second additional performance is conspicuous due to the fact that the characters displayed in the common performance part of the first additional performance and the common performance part of the second additional performance are the same but the musical pieces output from the speakers 8L and 8R are different.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-23, in the characterizing part 037SG, while the game effect lamp 9a is enabled to emit light by using the common front stage effect lamp data for the front stage effects A and B, the part of the front stage effect lamp data used in the front stage effect A and the front stage effect B is different. The lamp data for additional performance are stored, and the lamp data for additional performance are used in common for the first additional performance and the second additional performance to enable the game effect lamp 9a to emit light. In this manner, while the additional performance lamp data is required for the first additional performance and the second additional performance, the light emission mode of the game effect lamp 9a can be changed between when the performance image of the first additional performance is displayed on the image display device 5 and when the performance image of the second additional performance is displayed, so that the performance interest of the front stage performance B can be enhanced, and the waste of the storage capacity due to redundant storage of the lamp data for the common performance part in the ROM 121 can be reduced.

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

11-31 and 11-32, in the characteristic portion 037SG, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the main lamp 9a is lit in white regardless of the character displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 037SG-16, the light emission mode of the main lamp 9a is changed in accordance with the character to be displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect. may For example, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the variable display result suggests that the win in the ready-to-win effect (fall suggestive effect) of super reach γ will continue the big win or the high base state, that is, the player will be favored. When a teammate character is displayed, the main lamp 9a is lit in red, while the win in the ready-to-reach effect (fall suggestive effect) of super reach γ will suggest that the high base state will end, that is, the player will be disadvantaged. When an enemy character is displayed, the main lamp 9a should be illuminated in blue. In this way, when the main lamp 9a is lit in red when an ally character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, and in blue when the enemy character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the main lamp 9a is lit in white in the first light emitting effect as in the characteristic part 037SG, so that the variable display result is a big win and the high base state continues in the fall suggestion result notification effect after the first light emitting effect. Since the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the image (image in which the ally character wins over the enemy character) is displayed, the amusement of the game can be improved.

In this variation 037SG-16, the main lamp 9a is lit in different colors when the friendly character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, when the enemy character is displayed in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, and when the first light emitting effect is performed. In addition to the lighting color of the main lamp 9a, the flashing period, brightness, etc. may be different between when the character is displayed and when the first light emission effect is executed.

Furthermore, as the modification 037SG-16, when the main lamp 9a is lit in white in the first light emission effect, the fall suggestion result notification effect may be executed after the main lamp 9a is turned off once during the execution period of the first light emission effect, as in FIG. 11-24 of the characteristic portion 037SG. By doing so, the lighting of the main lamp 9a in white as the first light emitting performance is finished, so that the performance image of the fall suggestion result notification performance can be displayed at the timing when the attention of the player is likely to be increased, and the performance interest by the display of the fall suggestion result notification performance can be preferably improved.

In addition, in the characteristic portion 037SG, the form in which both the enemy character and the ally character are displayed in each of the first additional effect, the preceding effect A, and the second additional effect that constitute the preceding effect B is exemplified. For example, the image of the enemy character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, while the image of the ally character is displayed in the display region of the image display device 5 in the preceding stage effect A. That is, after the image of the enemy character is displayed as the performance image of the common performance part of the first additional performance, the image of the ally character is temporarily displayed as the performance image of the front stage performance, and the image of the enemy character is displayed as the performance image of the common performance part of the second additional performance. Also by doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from having the impression that the performance image of the common performance part is displayed as the performance image of both the first additional performance and the second additional performance, and improve the amusement of the game.

In addition, in the characteristic section 037SG, three effects of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasis effect, and the ally character emphasis effect are executed as the pre-stage effect A that constitutes the pre-stage effect B, and while these three effects do not suggest that the player is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous to the player, the present invention is not limited to this. end). Specifically, as the front-stage effect A, it is possible to display an image in which the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the ally character, like the middle-stage effect of the characteristic portion 037SG. In this way, as the front stage performance A constituting the front stage performance B, by suggesting that it is disadvantageous to the player by the image of the ally character, the sense of urgency can be added to the ready-to-reach performance (drop suggestive performance) of the super reach γ, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the characteristic part 037SG, the three effects of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasized effect, and the ally character emphasized effect are exemplified as the preceding effect A that constitutes the preceding effect B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one of the title display effect, the enemy character emphasized effect, and the ally character emphasized effect may be configured in a plurality of scenes with different display periods in the display area of the image display device 5 as a modification 037SG-19. For example, the teammate character emphasizing performance is composed of three scenes from the front, the first scene, the second scene and the third scene, the display period of the performance image in the third scene is set to be the longest, and the display period of the performance image in the first scene is set to be the shortest. That is, the display period of the performance image in one scene becomes longer as the end of the teammate character emphasizing performance approaches, so that the image (video) displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 can be varied, and the player's attention can be increased.

11-21 and 11-22, the first additional effect video data and the second additional effect video data are separately stored in the ROM 121, and the first additional effect video data is used when displaying the effect images of the first non-common effect portion and the common effect portion as the first additional effect, and the second additional effect video data is used when the effect image of the common effect portion and the second non-common effect portion is displayed as the second additional effect. Although the form of using the data has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the image data for the first non-common effect section and the common effect section may be collectively stored in the ROM 121 as the video data for the first additional effect, and only the video data for the second non-common effect part may be stored as the video data for the second additional effect. Further, the ROM 121 may store only the video data for the first non-common effect part as the video data for the first additional effect and store the video data for the common effect part and the video data for the second non-common effect part collectively as the video data for the second additional effect, and use only the video data for the common effect part in the video data for the first non-common effect and the video data for the second additional effect when displaying the effect image of the first additional effect. Further, the video data for the first non-common effect part, the video data for the common effect part, and the video data for the second non-common effect part may be separately stored in the ROM 121, and when the effect image of the first additional effect is displayed, the video data for the common effect part and the video data for the common effect part are combined, and when the effect image of the second additional effect is displayed, the video data for the common effect part and the video data for the second non-common effect part may be used in combination. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the amount of data to be stored in the ROM 121 by preventing redundant storage of the image data for the common performance part in the ROM 121 as the image data for the first additional performance and the video data for the second additional performance, and to suppress the development cost of the duplication part for executing the same performance in the first additional performance and the second additional performance.

In addition, in the characteristic part 037SG, the game state can be controlled to a high base state (high probability high base state) after the end of the big win game, and every time the variable display is executed in the high base state, a drop lottery (lottery for ending variable probability control) is executed, and if the fall lottery is won before the 100th variable display is executed, the game state is controlled to the low probability high base state until the 100th variable display is completed, and 101 times. After the first variable display, the game state is controlled to the low-probability-low base state, and when the fall lottery is won in the variable display after the 101st time, the game state is controlled to the high-probability-high base state until the variable display after the 101st time, and from the next variable display, the game state is controlled to the low-probability-low base state. , It may be other than the pachinko game machine 1 described in the characteristic part 037SG.

For example, it is possible to control a plurality of high base states in which the maximum number of times of variable display to be controlled after the end of the jackpot game is different. It may be applied to a gaming machine that executes an effect corresponding to the reach effect of the super reach γ or the super reach δ of the characteristic portion 037SG in the 0th variable display.

Furthermore, in the characteristic part 037SG, the above-mentioned invention 037SG is applied to the pachinko game machine 1 capable of controlling the game state to the high-probability-high base state after the end of the big-hit game state.

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