Lighting control of the LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5 is performed.

[About specific effects]
Next, specific effects performed by the sub-controller 21 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10. FIG.

The specific effect is an effect that suggests the possibility that a benefit that is advantageous to the player is being given and also suggests the result of the effect as to whether or not the benefit is finally given.

In the case of a pachinko machine, a privilege that is advantageous to the player is a transition to a game state that is advantageous to the player, such as a jackpot game state in which a large number of balls can be expected, or a probability fluctuation state in which the winning probability of the jackpot game state increases. In the case of a slot machine, this includes the right to transition to a game state that is advantageous to the player, such as a bonus that increases the probability of winning a prize or an assist time that informs the player of an advantageous operation mode. .

In the case of a pachinko machine, the specific effect is a reach effect in which the identification information that triggers the transition to the jackpot game state is in the ready state, and in the case of a slot machine, a bonus, assist time, etc. It corresponds to the winning suggestion production that suggests the possibility that it is.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the specific effect is a common part that is a common effect that is executed regardless of whether or not a privilege is granted, and a transition from the common part when the privilege is not granted. It consists of a failure part, or a success part that transitions from the common part if a privilege is granted. Also, the success part is composed of an action part in which the movable part 4 operates, an epilogue part and an announcement part in which effects are mainly performed using the liquid crystal display 2 and the effect LED unit 3 .

[About common parts]
Next, common parts will be described. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the common part is started when the sub-control section 21 triggers the start of the specific effect. Further, in the common part, the movable part 4 does not operate and is positioned at the retracted position.

The sub-control unit 21 executes a battle effect on the liquid crystal display 2 at the start of the common part, and after the battle effect ends, executes an operation promoting effect on the liquid crystal display 2 to prompt the operation of the effect switch 6, and performs the effect. The common part ends when the switch 6 is operated or a predetermined waiting time elapses. In the battle production, first, the liquid crystal display 2 is caused to display a start image (FIG. 5(a)) in which a friend character and an enemy character face each other, and then a battle image (FIG. 5(b)) in which a friend character and an enemy character fight is displayed. )) is displayed. Further, in the operation prompting effect, after the battle effect is completed, the liquid crystal display 2 displays an operation promoting image (FIG. 5(c)) prompting the operation of the effect switch 6. FIG.

In addition, the sub-control unit 21 sets the lighting pattern number corresponding to the battle light emission pattern in the lamp layer 3 at the start of the common part.

In the light emission pattern during battle, the entire area of the production LED unit 3 is lit in one of red, green, blue, and yellow during the period in which the start image of the battle production is displayed, and the battle image of the battle production is displayed. , during the period when the operation prompting image is displayed, the entire area of the production LED unit 3 is blinked in the same color as the color that was lit during the period when the start image is displayed, and the movable part LED unit 5 is turned off during both periods. It is a pattern that makes

Also, in most of the common parts, lighting pattern numbers are not set for lamp layers 1 and 2, and during the period when lighting pattern numbers are not set for lamp layers 1 and 2 in the common parts, based on the light emission pattern during battle Since lighting control of the effect LED unit 3 is performed, as shown in FIG. , green, blue, or yellow, and after the battle image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 2 as shown in FIGS. , the entire area of the performance LED unit 3 blinks in the same color as the color lit during the period in which the start image is displayed. Also, the movable part LED unit 5 remains in the off state.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the common part, the sub-control unit 21 changes the light emission pattern during the battle when forewarning the possibility that the player will be in an advantageous situation by changing the lighting mode. By setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern to the lamp layer 2, which has a higher priority than the lamp layer 3 to which the corresponding lighting pattern number is set, the production LED unit 3 lights the light emission pattern during the battle. By switching from the mode to the lighting mode based on the notice pattern (for example, flashing white), and then clearing the lighting pattern number set in the lamp layer 2, the production LED unit 3 switches to the lighting mode of the battle light emission pattern again. return to

The lighting pattern applied in the common part is not limited to the above example, and other lighting patterns may be applied. , water, blue, and purple)).

[About the failed part]
Next, the failure part will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the failure part is executed after the common part when no privilege is given. is operated or a predetermined standby time elapses. Also, in the failed part, the movable part 4 does not operate and is positioned at the retracted position.

At the start of the failure part, the sub-control unit 21 executes a white-out effect (WO effect) for displaying a white-out image (FIG. 6(a)) in which a single white color is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 2. After that, at the timing of ta-1, the liquid crystal display 2 executes a failure presentation indicating that the privilege has not been given. In the failure effect, the liquid crystal display 2 displays a defeat image (FIG. 6(b)) in which the friendly character is defeated after fighting, and after a predetermined time has passed, the defeat image is darkened at the timing of ta-2. , indicating that the privilege is not granted.

In addition, the sub-control unit 21 updates the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the white 1 pattern along with the start of the failure part, the white-out effect on the liquid crystal display 2 ends, and the defeat effect. At the timing of ta-1 when is started, the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 is updated to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the defeat pattern, and at the timing of ta-2 when the defeat image darkens on the liquid crystal display 2, the lamp layer 3 The lighting pattern number is updated to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the lighting pattern.

The white 1 pattern is a pattern in which the entire area of the performance LED unit 3 is lit in white, the defeat pattern is a pattern in which the entire area of the performance LED unit 3 is lit in red, and the off pattern is a pattern in which the performance LED unit 3 It is a pattern to turn off the light of the entire area. Further, the white 1 pattern, the defeat pattern, and the light-off pattern are all patterns in which the movable part LED unit 5 is turned off.

In addition, since the lighting pattern numbers are not set for the lamp layers 1 and 2 in the failure part, as shown in FIG. Over the period from the start of the failed part to ta-1, the entire area of the production LED unit 3 lights up in the same white color as the white-out image displayed on the liquid crystal display 2, and as shown in FIG. 6(b), The entire area of the production LED unit 3 is lit in red over the period (period from ta-1 to ta-2) during which the defeat production is executed on the liquid crystal display 2, and as shown in FIG. 6(c), the liquid crystal At the timing of ta-2 when the defeat image on the display 2 darkens, the entire area of the performance LED unit 3 is turned off. Also, the movable part LED unit 5 remains in the off state.

In addition, the lighting pattern applied in the failure part is not limited to the above example. Other lighting patterns may be applied as long as they are lighting patterns.

[About the success part]
Next, the success part will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 4, 7 and 8, the success part is executed after the common part when a privilege is given. is operated or a predetermined waiting time elapses, and the action part, epilogue part, and announcement part are executed step by step.

The sub-control unit 21 causes the liquid crystal display 2 to display a white-out image (FIG. 7(a)) that displays a single white color in the entire display area at the start of the first operation part of the successful parts. After that, a rainbow image (FIG. 7(b)) consisting of seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple is displayed on the liquid crystal display 2 at the timing of tb-1. Execute the action effect to be displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the sub-control section 21 moves the movable section 4 from the retracted position to the presentation position at the timing of tb-1 when the action presentation on the liquid crystal display 2 starts, and then moves to the presentation position tb. At the timing of -2, as shown in FIG. 7(c), the movable part 4 is rotated, and after the rotation operation, at the timing of tb-3, as shown in FIGS. The movable part 4 is stopped at the effect position for a period of time, and then at the timing of tb-5, the movable part 4 is moved from the effect position to the retracted position as shown in FIG. 7(f).

Further, the sub-control unit 21 executes the action effect on the liquid crystal display 2 until the movable part 4 stops at the effect position after the rotating operation, and then the movable part 4 starts moving from the effect position to the retracted position. At the timing tb-4 before the white-out effect (FIG. 7(e)) is executed on the liquid crystal display 2, and at the timing tb-5 when the movable part 4 starts moving from the effect position to the retracted position. An epilogue effect is started on the liquid crystal display 2 . The epilogue effect is a effect in which the ally character wins over the enemy character, and as shown in FIG. Start display.

In addition, when the operation part starts, the sub-control unit 21 once clears the lamp layers 1 to 3 regardless of whether or not any lighting pattern number is stored, and clears the lamp layer 3 with one white pattern. , and sets the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the operating pattern at the timing of tb-1 when the white-out effect ends on the liquid crystal display 2 and the action effect starts. At the timing of tb-4 when the white-out effect starts on the liquid crystal display 2, the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 is updated to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the white 2 pattern.

The operating pattern is one of the rainbow light emission patterns including seven lighting colors of red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple, and the period (tb- 1 to tb-2), the areas lit in red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple in the production LED unit 3 are adjusted to the speed at which the movable part 4 moves from the retracted position to the production position. During the period (period of tb-2 to tb-3) in which the movable part 4 rotates at the production position, red, orange, yellow, green, water, and blue are displayed in the production LED unit 3. , the region lit in purple is adjusted to the rotational speed of the movable part 4 and transitioned in the direction of rotation, and after the rotational movement of the movable part 4, the period (tb-3 to tb- 4 period), the red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple lighting areas in the performance LED unit 3 are transitioned from the inside to the outside, and the movable part LED unit 5 are lit in red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple. In addition, the rainbow light emission pattern is a lighting pattern that is applied only when a privilege is given, and except for special cases, it is applied only in the success part. When the unit 3 or the movable part LED unit 5 lights up, it is suggested that the privilege is given. The white 2 pattern is a pattern in which the entire area of the performance LED unit 3 is lit in white, and the movable part LED unit 5 is lit in white.

In addition, since no lighting pattern numbers are set for the lamp layers 1 and 2 in the operation part, as shown in FIG. Over the period from the start of the operation part to tb-1, the entire area of the performance LED unit 3 lights up in the same white as the white-out image displayed on the liquid crystal display 2, and lights up in white. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the movable part 4 starts moving from the retracted position toward the production position, the entire area of the production LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 2. It lights up in the same rainbow light emission pattern consisting of 7 colors of red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple as the rainbow image, and the period (tb- 1 to tb-2), the areas lit in red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple in the production LED unit 3 are adjusted to the speed at which the moving part 4 moves from the retracted position to the production position. As shown in FIG. 7C, during the period (period of tb-2 to tb-3) in which the movable part 4 rotates at the production position, the LED unit 3 for production turns red. , orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple light areas match the rotational speed of the movable part 4 and transition in the direction of rotation, and as shown in FIG. 7(d), the movable part 4 After the rotation operation, during the period of stopping at the production position (period of tb-3 to tb-4), the area lit in red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple in the production LED unit 3 is inside. Lights so as to transition from to the outside. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7(e) and 7(f), after the movable part 4 stops at the effect position, lighting in the rainbow light emission pattern is interrupted, and a white-out image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 2. tb- The entire area of the production LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 2 during the period from the timing of 4 when the movable part 4 moves to the retracted position (the period from tb-4 to the end of the action part). Lights in the same white as the white-out image.

Following the start of the epilogue part after the action part, the sub-control part 21 causes the liquid crystal display 2 to continue the epilogue effect started at the timing when the movable part 4 starts moving from the effect position to the retracted position in the action part. to run. In the epilogue effect, the liquid crystal display 2 displays an epilogue effect image (FIGS. 8A and 8B) in which the ally character wins over the enemy character, and the ally character speaks the words of victory, and a voice reads out the words of victory. is output from the speaker 24.

In addition, the sub-control unit 21 updates the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the final scene pattern when the epilogue part starts.

The final scene pattern is one of rainbow light emission patterns including seven lighting colors of red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple. In this pattern, the blue and purple lighting regions periodically repeat a pattern of shifting from top to bottom and from bottom to top, and the movable part LED unit 5 is turned off.

Further, in the epilogue part, since no lighting pattern number is set for the lamp layers 1 and 2, in the epilogue part, as shown in FIGS. , and during the period during which the epilogue effect is being executed on the liquid crystal display 2, the area lit in red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple in the effect LED unit 3 is from top to bottom, Periodically repeat the pattern of transitions from bottom to top. At this time, the rainbow light emission pattern (settling scene pattern) has a light emission mode different from the light emission mode of the rainbow light emission pattern (in-operation pattern) in the action part. In addition, in the rainbow light emission pattern (operating pattern) in the action part, both the production LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5 are lit in the rainbow light emission pattern, whereas in the epilogue part and later, the production LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5, only the performance LED unit 3 lights up in a rainbow light emission pattern, the movable part 4 is at the retracted position, and the movable part LED unit 5 is turned off.

After the epilogue part, the sub-control unit 21 executes the winning effect (white) on the liquid crystal display 2 with the start of the announcement part, and then executes the winning effect (gold) at the timing of tb-6. In the victory presentation (white), a victory presentation image (white characters) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 2 in which the letters "Victory" are displayed in white to indicate that a privilege is given, superimposed on the ally character. . In addition, in the victory presentation (gold), a victory presentation image (gold letters) is displayed in which the letters of "Victory" are displayed in gold to indicate that a privilege is given, superimposed on the ally character. By executing the victory effect (white) and the victory effect (gold), it is announced that the privilege is given.

Further, with the start of the announcement part, the sub-control unit 21 maintains the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 as the lighting pattern number corresponding to the final scene pattern, while setting the lamp layer 2 to the white 1 pattern. A lighting pattern number is set, and the lighting pattern number set in the lamp layer 2 is cleared at the timing of tb-6 when the winning presentation (white) is switched to the winning presentation (gold) on the liquid crystal display 2.例文帳に追加

As described above, the white 1 pattern is a pattern in which the entire area of the performance LED unit 3 is lit in white, and the movable part LED unit 5 is extinguished. In addition, in the notification part, the lighting in the rainbow light emission pattern is interrupted, and the lamp layer 2 has one white pattern during the period (period from the start of the notification part to tb-6) during which the victory effect (white) is executed on the liquid crystal display 2. Since the lighting pattern number corresponding to is set, in the announcement part, as shown in FIG. During the period (the period from the start of the announcement part to tb-6), the entire area of the production LED unit 3 is the same color as the characters "Victory" displayed on the liquid crystal display 2 in the victory production (white). , And after the timing of tb-6 when the red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple that make up the rainbow light emission pattern are not included, and then the liquid crystal display 2 switches to the victory effect (gold). , the lighting in the rainbow light emission pattern is started again, and the lighting area of the LED unit 3 for production changes to red, orange, yellow, green, water, blue, and purple periodically. repeat to

[About multiple types of specific effects]
The sub-control unit 21 can execute two types of specific effects A and B. As shown in FIG. 9, the specific effects A and B differ in the time during which the battle effect is executed in the common part and the time during which the epilogue effect is executed in the epilogue part that constitutes the success part. For this reason, the specific effects A and B are the time required from the start of the specific effect to the end of the specific effect, the time required for the common part, the time required for the successful part, and the time required from the start of the successful part to the start of the announcement part. Each time is different.

Further, the specific effects A and B differ in at least one of the friendly characters and enemy characters that appear in the battle effects, the epilogue effects, and the victory effects in the announcement part, and differ in the development of the battle effects and the lines of the friendly characters in the epilogue effects.

Further, when the specific effect B is executed than when the specific effect A is executed, the probability that the privilege is given is higher, and it can be expected that the privilege is given, and the privilege is given. In the specific performance B expected to be given, the time during which the battle performance is executed is set longer than in the specific performance A, and in the specific performance B expected to be given a privilege, the specific performance A is set. The time during which the epilogue effect is executed, that is, the time from the start of the success part to the start of the announcement part is set longer than that.

On the other hand, in the specific effects A and B, when no privilege is given, the failure part is executed after the common part, and when the privilege is given, the success part is executed after the common part. In the success part, the action part, the epilogue part, and the announcement part are performed step by step. In the action part, the liquid crystal display 2 produces an action effect. Winning effect (white) and winning effect (gold) are performed on the display 2, the moving part 4 is operated in the action part, the LED unit 3 for effect is lit in the light emission pattern during the battle in the common part, and the success part The performance LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5 are lit in the operating pattern in the action part constituting points in common.

In particular, the specific effects A and B are common in that the effect LED unit 3 or the movable part LED unit 5 is lit in the rainbow light emission pattern in any of the action part, epilogue part, and announcement part in the success part.

Further, the specific effects A and B both include an action part in the success part, and in the action part, the movable part 4 is moved from the retracted position to the effect position, rotated at the effect position, and then stopped at the effect position, After that, they are common in that they are moved from the performance position to the retreat position.

In addition, the special effects A and B both execute the announcement part last in the success part, and the victory effect (white) and the victory effect in which the characters "victory" are displayed to indicate that the privilege is given in the announcement part. They are common in that they execute the production (gold).

[About special specific effects]
When executing the specific effect as a normal mode, the sub-control unit 21 uses a rainbow light emission pattern for effecting that suggests that the benefit is given in the common part even if the privilege is given. Control is performed so that the LED unit 3 is not lit, but when a privilege is given, it is possible to execute a specific effect as a special mode. performs control for lighting the performance LED unit 3.

When the sub-control unit 21 executes a specific effect as a special aspect, as shown in FIG. In addition to setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the in-battle light emission pattern, control is performed to set the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern to the lamp layer 2 having a higher priority than the lamp layer 3 in which the lighting pattern number corresponding to the battle emission pattern is set. However, as a normal mode, when executing a specific effect, the lamp layer 1, which has a higher priority than the lamp layers 2 and 3 used in the common part, has a battle in which the effect LED unit 3 is lit in a rainbow light emission pattern. Set the lighting pattern number corresponding to the middle special pattern.

In this way, when a specific effect is executed as a special mode, the lamp layers 2 and 3 are provided with lighting pattern numbers corresponding to the light emission pattern during battle and notice patterns, as in the case of the normal mode. Although the lighting pattern number is set, by setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the special pattern during the battle to the lamp layer 1, which has a higher priority than the lamp layers 2 and 3, the rainbow light emission pattern will be used over the period of the common part. When the performance LED unit 3 lights up, it is suggested that the privilege has been given since the common part started.

Also, when executing a specific effect as a special mode, the sub-control unit 21 controls lighting of the effect LED unit 3 in the rainbow light emission pattern in the success part, but sets it to the lamp layer 1 in the common part. By maintaining the lighting pattern number corresponding to the special pattern during the battle, instead of performing control to light the production LED unit 3 in the rainbow light emission pattern in the success part, the timing of shifting from the common part to the success part. After clearing lamp layers 1 to 3 once, and then performing a specific effect as a normal mode, at the timing of lighting with the rainbow light emission pattern, lamp layer 3 corresponds to the rainbow light emission pattern (in-operation pattern). By setting the lighting pattern number to be used, control is performed to light the performance LED unit 3 in the rainbow light emission pattern.

Further, when executing a specific effect as a special mode, the sub-control unit 21 controls lighting of the effect LED unit 3 in the rainbow light emission pattern in both the common part and the successful part, but the successful part is started. By setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the white 1 pattern in the lamp layer 3, when the common part shifts to the successful part, the lighting mode of the production LED unit 3 changes from the rainbow light emission pattern to white once. After that, the sub-control unit 21 switches to the rainbow light emission pattern again, and the sub-control unit 21 controls the entire area of the liquid crystal display 2 for the effect when the lighting mode of the performance LED unit 3 switches from the rainbow light emission part to the white lighting. The liquid crystal display 2 is designed to display a white-out image that is the same white as the lighting color of the LED unit 3 . Therefore, when executing a specific effect as a special mode, even if the effect LED unit 3 is lit in the rainbow light emission pattern in both the common part and the successful part, the shift from the common part to the successful part is recognized. can be made

In addition, the sub-control unit 21 clears the ramp layers 1 to 3 when starting the success part in both the case of executing the specific effect as a special mode and the case of executing the specific effect as a normal mode. , the lighting pattern number corresponding to the white 1 pattern is set in the lamp layer 3, and when shifting from the common part to the success part, the performance LED unit 3 is lit in white, and then the lamp layer 3 corresponds to the operation pattern. update to the lighting pattern number to be used, and switch to the rainbow light emission pattern. In other words, the common control is performed when starting the success part in both the case of executing the specific effect as a special mode and the case of executing the specific effect as a normal mode.

[Regarding LED lighting control in specific effects]
The sub control unit 21 identifies the lighting pattern data stored in the ROM 22 from the lighting pattern number stored in the lamp layer as described above, and based on the identified lighting pattern data, the performance LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5, and the lamp layer consists of three storage areas of lamp layers 1 to 3, and if the lamp layers 1 to 3 store duplicate lighting pattern numbers, the priority of the lamp layers 1 to 3 is stored. Lighting control of the performance LED unit 3 and the movable part LED unit 5 is performed based on the lighting pattern data specified from the lighting pattern number stored in the higher lamp layer.

Then, when executing the specific effect as a normal mode, the sub-control unit 21 sets the lighting pattern number corresponding to the light emission pattern during the battle to the lamp layer 3 at the start of the common part in the common part. . As a result, in the common part, the effect LED unit 3 lights up in a lighting mode based on the light emission pattern during the battle.

In addition, when executing a specific effect as a normal mode, the sub-control unit 21 changes the lighting mode in the common part to foretell the possibility that the player will be in an advantageous situation. While maintaining the pattern number corresponding to the pattern in the lamp layer 3, the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern is set in the lamp layer 2 having a higher priority than the lamp layer 3 at specific timing. As a result, in the common part, the production LED unit 3 is lit in a lighting mode based on the light emission pattern during battle, and only during the period when the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern is set in the lamp layer 2, the notice pattern is displayed. The lighting mode is switched to the lighting mode based on the

In the common part, a method of lighting the production LED unit 3 in a lighting mode based on the light emission pattern during the battle and switching to a lighting mode based on the notice pattern at a specific timing includes adding a lighting mode based on the notice pattern to the light emission pattern during the battle. There is also a method to define , but for that purpose, it is necessary to have a light emission pattern during battle without notice and a light emission pattern during battle with notice. is maintained in the lamp layer 3, the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern is set in the lamp layer 2, which has a higher priority than the lamp layer 3, and by switching to the lighting mode based on the notice pattern, light emission during one battle The pattern can be shared between the common part with notice and the common part without notice, and the amount of data defining the LED lighting pattern can be reduced.

Further, when executing the specific effect as a special mode, the sub-control unit 21, as in the normal mode, in the common part, along with the start of the common part, to the lamp layer 3 corresponding to the light emission pattern during the battle. In addition to setting the lighting pattern number, in the normal mode, the lighting pattern number corresponding to the advance notice pattern is set in the lamp layer 2 at the advance notice timing. , the lamp layer 1, which has a higher priority than the lamp layer 3, to which the lighting pattern number corresponding to the battle emission pattern is set, and the lamp layer 2, to which the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern is set, and the special pattern during the battle. Set the corresponding lighting pattern number. As a result, the performance LED unit 3 lights up in a rainbow light emission pattern over the period of the common part.

Thus, when executing the specific effect as a special aspect, in addition to the control common to the case of executing the specific effect as a normal aspect, the lamp layer used in the specific effect of the normal aspect has a higher priority. By setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the special pattern during the battle to the high lamp layer 1, the production LED unit 3 is lit in the rainbow light emission pattern over the period of the common part, and the common part has started. From time to time, it will be suggested that a privilege is granted.

In addition, the sub-control unit 21, regardless of whether the specific effect is executed as a special mode or the specific effect is executed as a normal mode, the lamp layer 1 ~ at the timing of transition from the common part to the success part 3 is cleared once, and after that, by setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow light emission pattern (operating pattern) to the lamp layer 3 at the timing of lighting with the rainbow light emission pattern, the LED unit for production with the rainbow light emission pattern. 3 is turned on, and after the transition from the common part to the success part, regardless of whether the specific effect is executed as a special mode or the specific effect is executed as a normal mode, common Lighting control of the performance LED unit 3 is performed by the control of .

Further, the sub-control unit 21 updates the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the final scene pattern at the timing when the epilogue part that constitutes the success part starts, and after that, until the announcement part ends. That is, the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 is maintained until the specific effect ends. The settlement scene pattern is a pattern in which a specific lighting pattern is periodically repeated in the performance LED unit 3, and is a lighting pattern that does not depend on execution time.

For this reason, even if the time required for the epilogue part is different and the time required for the announcement part to end is different as in the above-described specific effects A and B, one final scene can be produced without defining separate lighting patterns. Patterns can be shared even if the time from the start of the epilogue part to the end of the announcement part is different, and the amount of data defining the LED lighting pattern can be reduced.

In addition, by periodically repeating a specific lighting pattern in the last part that constitutes a successful part, lighting control of the production LED unit 3 is performed with a final scene pattern that does not depend on the execution time. Even if the time from the start of the epilogue part to the end of the announcement part differs depending on the timing of the player's operation, the announcement part will end even if it is the same type of specific effect, such as when the announcement part is ended by an operation. The performance LED unit can be lighted without a sense of incongruity until it is done.

Further, the sub-control unit 21 updates the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 to the lighting pattern number corresponding to the final scene pattern at the timing when the epilogue part that constitutes the success part starts. That is, the lighting pattern number of the lamp layer 3 is maintained until the specific effect ends, and at the timing when the announcement part starts, the pattern number corresponding to the final scene pattern is maintained in the lamp layer 3 and has priority over the lamp layer 3. A lighting pattern number corresponding to the white 1 pattern is set to the lamp layer 2 having a high degree. As a result, from the start of the epilogue part to the end of the announcement part, the production LED unit 3 lights up in a lighting mode based on the final scene pattern, and at the timing when the announcement part starts, the lamp layer 2 corresponds to one white pattern. The lighting mode is switched to the lighting mode based on the white 1 pattern only during the period in which the lighting pattern number to be used is set.

In the period from the start of the epilogue part to the end of the announcement part, the production LED unit 3 is lit in a lighting mode based on the final scene pattern, and at the timing when the announcement part starts, the lighting mode based on the white 1 pattern, that is, the final scene. As a method of switching to a lighting pattern different from the pattern, there is a method of defining a lighting mode based on the white 1 pattern in the final scene pattern. If the required time is different, a final scene pattern is required for each type of specific effect. By setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the white 1 pattern in the high degree lamp layer 2 and switching to the lighting mode based on the white 1 pattern, after the epilogue part starts, the timing at which the announcement part starts, that is, the white 1 pattern Even if the timing of switching to the based lighting mode is different, one final scene pattern can be shared, and the amount of data defining the LED lighting pattern can be reduced.

The sub-control unit 21 of the present embodiment includes lamp layers 1 to 3, each of which can store a lighting pattern number. The lighting pattern data specified from the lighting pattern number set in the layer is used to control the light emission of the performance LED unit 3, and in the common part, the lamp layer 3 has a battle light emission pattern that is not a rainbow light emission pattern. When setting the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern and causing the performance LED unit 3 to emit light in the notice pattern, the lighting pattern number corresponding to the notice pattern is set to the lamp layer 2 having a higher priority than the lamp layer 3. In the common part, the performance LED unit 3 is lit with the light emission pattern during the battle, and when the notice pattern is executed, the performance LED unit 3 is lit with the notice pattern. In addition, the sub-control section 21 can cause the production LED unit 3 to emit light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the common part in a special case, and causes the production LED unit 3 to emit light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the common part. In this case, the lamp layer 1, which has a higher priority than the lamp layers 3 and 2, is set with a lighting pattern number corresponding to a battle special pattern, which is one of the rainbow light emission patterns. By adopting such a configuration, when the production LED unit 3 is made to emit light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the common part, the setting in the case where the production LED unit 3 is not made to emit light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the common part remains unchanged. By storing the lighting pattern number corresponding to the battle special pattern in the lamp layer 1, it is possible to emit light in the rainbow light emission pattern.

The sub-control unit 21 of the present embodiment is configured to set the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow light emission pattern (operating pattern, final scene pattern) to the lamp layer 3, which has a lower priority than the lamp layer 1 in the success part. . With such a configuration, in the successful part, the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow light emission pattern (operating pattern, final scene pattern) is set to the lamp layer 3, which has a lower priority than the lamp layer 1. , after the transition to the success part, other lighting patterns are applied to the lamp layers 1 and 2, which have a higher priority than the lamp layer 3 in which the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow light emission pattern (operation pattern, final scene pattern) is set. By setting the number, the light emission pattern can be easily changed.

The sub-control unit 21 of the present embodiment, when causing the effect LED unit 3 to emit light in the white 1 pattern in the success part, uses the lamp layer 3 in which the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow emission pattern (finishing scene pattern) is set. Also, the lighting pattern number corresponding to the white 1 pattern is set to the lamp layer 2 having a high priority. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to cause the production LED unit 3 to emit light in a light emission mode other than the rainbow light emission pattern while the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow light emission pattern (final scene pattern) is set in the lamp layer. .

When the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow light emission pattern (finishing scene pattern) is set in the success part, the sub-control unit 21 of the present embodiment repeats the specific lighting pattern specified from the lighting pattern number. It is the structure which performs control which makes the LED unit 3 for production|presentation light-emit. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the amount of data used to cause the effect LED unit 3 to emit light in the rainbow light emission pattern.

The sub-control unit 21 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the lighting pattern number corresponding to the rainbow light emission pattern (special pattern during battle) is set in the lamp layer 1 when shifting from the common part to the success part or the failure part. Regardless, the configuration is such that the lamp layer 1 is erased. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent unintentional continuation of light emission in the rainbow light emission pattern.

When the sub-control unit 21 of the present embodiment emits light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the success part, regardless of whether or not the rainbow light emission pattern was emitted in the common part, the sub-control unit 21 causes the lamp layer 3 to emit rainbow light. It is configured to set the lighting pattern number corresponding to the light emission pattern (operating pattern). By adopting such a configuration, regardless of whether or not the rainbow light emission pattern was emitted in the common part, the control when emitting light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the success part can be made common.

When the sub-control unit 21 of the present embodiment causes the production LED unit 3 to emit light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the success part, regardless of whether or not the rainbow light emission pattern was emitted in the common part, the production LED unit 21 emits white light. After the unit 3 is caused to emit light, the effect LED unit 3 is caused to emit light in a rainbow light emission pattern. By adopting such a configuration, regardless of whether or not the rainbow light emission pattern is emitted in the common part, the control for emitting light in the rainbow light emission pattern in the success part can be made common, and the common part can be changed to the success part. You can recognize that you have moved.

The sub-controller 21 of the first embodiment is configured to display a white-out image of the same color as white when causing the effect LED unit 3 to emit light in white. With such a configuration, the color of light emitted from the LED unit 3 for presentation and the color of the white-out image are made the same, so that presentation with a sense of unity can be performed.

In the first embodiment, when the effect LED unit 3 is caused to emit light in a rainbow light emission pattern in the success part, when the effect LED unit 3 is caused to emit light in a single color, the same color as the lighting color of the effect LED unit 3 is used. Although it is a configuration for displaying an image, when the performance LED unit 3 emits light in a rainbow light emission pattern in the success part, when the performance LED unit 3 emits light in a single color, the light emission color of the performance LED unit 3 is similar. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which an image of the same color is displayed on the liquid crystal display 2, and even with such a configuration, it is possible to perform an effect with a sense of unity.

A specific effect in Example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. FIG.
